Chapter 556: The Senior is a Blind Man?
By the time she woke up, they were about to arrive at their destination.
Recalling what she had heard in the dream, Gu Qingjiu was still in a dazed state.
After snapping out of that dazed state, it was an unending emptiness.
When they arrived at their destination, she quickly kept away this sensation and placed her focus elsewhere.
This time, they were going to the National Special Training Project Center.
On their way there, Gu Qingjiu wondered where it would be located. She hadn’t expected it to be located in such an obvious location.
National Special Training Project Center referred to projects that ordinary civilians weren’t exposed to.
Some examples are the military’s shooting and combat.
This was Gu Qingjiu’s first time here. As she made her way in, she saw many people who were of about her age, and also those in their twenties and thirties training there.
Lu Yimei introduced this place to Gu Qingjiu as they walked. “This is a place where our country grooms special talents. In the future, you’ll be undergoing training here most of your time. Yin Ruoyi’s teacher coaches here.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded as she continued to stare ahead.
There were plenty of nice green s.p.a.ces around, and the architecture was also very simple. It had the feel of an ordinary university campus.
However, the difference being there weren’t any students loitering around.
Instructor Xiong Xuejian, Lu Yimei, and she directly went to a simply designed ‘shooting hall.’
But in a place like this, the simpler something seemed, the less simple it was.
When they walked in, Gu Qingjiu saw a shooting range that was twice as big as the one they had in school.
Other than the shooting range that was used for training, there was plenty of training equipment.
But the atmosphere was quite cold and cheerless, for not a single person was in sight.
Lu Yimei walked in. After she had surveyed her surroundings, she let out an emotional sigh and said, “Tsk tsk. So this is where Yin Ruoyi usually trains. How blissful.”
Gu Qingjiu was a bit astonished to hear this. “It’s such an enormous place, and he’s the only one training here?”
“Of course.”
Lu Yimei nodded. Next to her, Xiong Xuejian explained with a smile, “At present, this senior only has one student, and that is Yin Ruoyi. Other talents in the shooting world had other venues to train at. This senior doesn’t just take in any student. Qingjiu, you’re fortunate to get his permission to come here.”
Hearing him put it this way, Gu Qingjiu’s curiosity in this senior deepened yet.
In this hall, there was a shooting range on the right-hand side and a row of small doors on the left-hand side.
The small doors seemed to lead to some other places.
After they waited for a while, Gu Qingjiu suddenly saw someone walking out of one of those doors… It was an elderly man holding onto a crutch.
Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yimei both raised their brows in doubt, thinking that this man was merely keeping watch over this place or something.
However, at the sight of the elderly man, Xiong Xuejian instantly went up. “Senior.”
He even saluted at the latter.
“Senior?”
Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yimei exchanged a glance.
This elderly man is that senior?
This revelation shocked Gu Qingjiu!
She never expected that Yin Ruoyi’s teacher would be an elderly.
“Ah… Xiao Xiong, you’re here.”
The elderly man sounded affable.
Since he had addressed Xiong Xuejian as Xiao Xiong, that meant they knew each other.
Judging from his appearance alone, he didn’t seem any different from an ordinary old man.
Wearing an ordinary outer s.h.i.+rt, this old man didn’t appear at all striking.
However, although he was responding to Xiong Xuejian, his murky looking eyes were looking in another direction.
Gu Qingjiu felt her heart skip a beat.
Was this elderly man… blind?
