Chapter 801 - 384: Turmoil Over Lineage (Part 1)

Moreover, the two little buns have never undergone complete military education, and they are always lacking in certain aspects. When they go to lecture their peers or even those older than them, they can also learn a lot of useful things. Is this a kind of "further study" in disguise?

Throughout the year, half of their time is spent on the battlefield, a quarter on rear-end tasks, and a quarter on lecturing...

Ever since Gu Ningxuan’s identity was exposed, students who knew the identities of the two little buns... or their peers, would frequently scrutinize them with peculiar glances. All sorts of discussions happened in secret, both well-intentioned and malicious, blending into a strange flavor.

Perhaps it’s jealousy, or maybe it’s dissatisfaction, or long-being suppressed by their genius aura, all sorts of unwilling emotions are squeezed in their hearts, deepening day by day. Now having an excuse to vilify the Huaixi Brothers and vent their emotions, they naturally speculate on things more negatively. Some people are doing it sincerely, some unintentionally, but in the end, they both hurt just the same!

Even just today, Huaixi directly faced the questioning of a student who is eight years older than him.

"I refuse to be taught by someone with dirty, obscure blood; it’s an insult to my taste and family background." As the class just started, that student stood up from the last row of the large stair-stepped classroom and said unabashedly, "Just an unknown bastard, who knows what your mother is like. And there’s the talk of being the Young Master of the Gu Family, as if you are the face of a future heir..."

Huaixi’s hand suddenly paused, his expression becoming very unpleasant. To save time and to accommodate the varying courses among students, these exchange classes are conducted using a mixed-age system. That is, any student in the middle department, from first grade to sixth grade, can attend as long as they have time, and they have to write a class summary and personal reflections afterward.

Due to this system, the students attending the classes include those from the sixth grade of the middle department, who are coincidentally eight years older than Huaixi.

The Qiming Star, where Xilena First Affiliated School is located, was conquered and occupied by the Insect Race. Most students were dispersed and transferred to the Second or Third Affiliated Schools. Xilena Second Affiliated School is very close to the Ancient Star, just a three to five-hour warship ride away.

Since familiar friends are at the Second Affiliated School and the school is close to the Ancient Star, the two youths naturally lecture here.

Perhaps the turbulent times have made people’s hearts agitated, with nearly half more students, the atmosphere at the Second Affiliated School gradually became chaotic. Some students who don’t have the qualifications to study here managed to slip in under the chaos, using family connections...

However, these students usually behave quite obediently and generally avoid provoking those they shouldn’t. The Huaixi Brothers, bearing the Gu Family’s direct Young Master title, are naturally high on their "don’t mess with" list. Furthermore, these brothers are the type of "other people’s children" in the eyes of their parents, extraordinary to the point of seeming inhuman...

But now, the illustrious brothers are mired in a quagmire due to public opinion, with stains on their identities providing an opportunity. Under the mindset of "putting them down so you don’t seem so trash," they eagerly look for openings to vent.

Although students have been discussing the brothers’ affairs, it all happens in private and is never brought to the forefront. One reason is the fear of Gu Family’s retaliation, another is the fear of the brothers retaliating out of humiliation, and the third is the fear of their speculative conclusions backfiring...

These are middle department students, generally aged fourteen to under twenty. In the mature interstellar era, even in Ancient Earth, they wouldn’t be considered children! They’re old enough to be responsible for their words and actions!

Huaixi’s expression remained aloof, even when the twenty-year-old student intentionally humiliated him; he merely stared blandly at the other person. Locked into those firm, mature eyes, the student’s legs slightly gave way.

"I wonder, with a mind like yours that just echoes others’, did your parents have to sell all their possessions to get you into Xilena Second Affiliated School? Bloodline? The Insect Race never discriminates with their taste. Even if you’re just a stink bug filled with dung in your head, they’ll open their mouths as long as you’re alive. They won’t chew less because your bloodline is good, nor will they disdain a poor one... Of course, if consuming you lowers their IQ and hinders their evolution, I guess they won’t indulge..."

"If the bloodline you speak of is so important, I have nothing to say..." Huaixi, having been raised under the tutelage of two extraordinary robots and several old foxes of the Gu Family, is not only formidable in combat but also sharp-witted.

"You’re twenty years old, right? You sure you didn’t forget to add a decimal point before the twenty?" Huaixi remained indifferent, and even when taunting, his expression stayed so loftily detached that it was unbearable, "Also, I am the legitimate Grandson of the Gu Family; everyone in the Gu Family acknowledges this. You, an outsider, hopping around like a clown, who will listen to you?"

"You, at twenty years old, do you have the audacity to stake your life against a twelve-year-old like me in a death duel?"

"Finally, a word of warning!" Huaixi suddenly released all his Telekinesis, pressing the student down forcefully against the front seatback. His gaze was filled with palpable murderous intent, his tone changed, "Whoever dares to insult my mother, I don’t mind crippling them!"

After saying this, he nonchalantly retracted the Telekinesis pressure, resumed teaching, "Anyone interested in my background, line up, we’ll meet at the arena after school!"
