2794 Will the Freshman Representatives
When Qiao Mu and her companions arrived, they undoubtedly drew everyone’s attention. Their appearances stood out conspicuously within the company.

Furthermore, many people had previously spotted the young lady in the plaza on the academy’s main street, which piqued their curiosity even more.

People continued to scrutinize the young lady, as if trying to decipher her extraordinary qualities.

/How could such a petite individual possess the power to effortlessly shatter a heaven-ranked test tablet?/
Whispers and speculations circulated among the crowd.

Qiao Mu paid no heed to the chatter around her. She, along with Mo Lian, Duan Yue, Qi Xuanxuan, and their companions, followed Mu Xingchen as they weaved through the crowd to reach the location of the new students.

Eldest Young Sir Qin approached with a playful grin and waved at the young lady. “Little friend, we meet again!”

Qiao Mu gave a reluctant nod.

It seemed that members of the Qin Estate were determined to cross paths with her wherever she went.

Eldest Young Sir Qin playfully winked at her. “Little stoic, you don’t actually hate me for showing up in front of you again, do you?”

“You seem quite self-aware,” Crown Prince Mo remarked, holding the young lady’s hand as they moved to the side. He cast a meaningful glance at Eldest Young Sir Qin.

Eldest Young Sir still wanted to catch up and say something, but at that moment, Dean Yun flew in from a distance, accompanied by several academy scholars and a dozen imposing mentors who carried themselves with authority. They came to a halt on the raised platform in front of the training grounds.

One of the mentors surveyed the 10,000-plus students below and spoke without raising his voice much, “New and returning students, please line up separately. There’s no need for further instructions.”

With a rustling sound, everyone began to move into their designated lines.

As per the regulations of the three supermonastery factions, each of them organized themselves into several hundred lines.

The senior students had grown accustomed to this routine. Every time the academy disseminated vital information and summoned students to the training grounds, they lined up to receive instructions without complaint.

Among the approximately thousand new students present, they had been divided into seven or eight separate lines. These lines formed a somewhat crooked arrangement on the left side of the senior students.

“May Dean Yun address us,” the crowd murmured in anticipation.

Dean Yun ascended the platform, his expression inscrutable. He no longer bore the same zealous, persistent demeanor from the previous day when he had passionately promoted the supreme-grade court to Qiao Mu and her companions.

After offering a few brief and encouraging words to the new students, he waved them off, making way for an academy Pundit to take the stage.

This particular Pundit, hailing from the academy’s Discipline Courtyard, was renowned for his stern and serious demeanor. He meticulously recited the entirety of the Imperial Academy’s rules and regulations, nearly lulling Qiao Mu into a state of drowsiness.

Finally, after a seemingly interminable two-quarters of an hour, the Pundit concluded his recitation.

Following the Pundit’s departure, Dean Yun addressed the assembly with a grin, “Now, it’s time for the freshmen to represent our classmate Qiao on stage to deliver a speech!”

Eldest Young Sir Qin’s mouth twitched, and he cast a peculiar glance at Qiao Mu.

Simultaneously, Qiao Mu noticed the presence of Dou Fenghua, Dou Fengmian, Qin Xin, Qin Xiu, Qin Jiu, and other acquaintances from the Divine Province’s patrician families who were well-acquainted with the “little stoic.”

Meanwhile, Asi, who stood among the Nether Province’s lineup, also watched them with curiosity.

In unison, the thought crossed everyone’s mind: /What on earth does the “little stoic” have to say?/

Qiao Mu stood expressionlessly on the drill ground’s high platform and gazed icily at the students below.

Everybody felt like they were being stared at by a ferocious beast!

“Students, study hard and don’t provoke me! Or else! Crash!!”

Everyone was flabbergasted…
