In Zhonghai, Shangjiang, Jiajiang, and Tongjiang converged into the sea. Since the Tang Dynasty, it had been an important port for maritime trade and was also the most important window to the West.
In modern times, the West completed industrialization and rose rapidly. As a window, Zhonghai was the first to absorb much of the Western civilization. After more than a hundred years, Zhonghai became the Federation's first cosmopolitan city.
When Gao Zhengyang came out of the high-speed rail station, he immediately saw the towering skyscraper tower on Sanjiang Island.
The giant tower looked a little like an oversized tanghulu that pierced through the clouds and looked very imposing.
"Master, this tower is called the Sea Calming Needle!"
Tong Sheng, who was next to him, grinned and introduced it with a lascivious smile.
Tong Sheng originally went to university in Shangjiang, but he did not want to stay in Shangjiang. When he found out that Gao Zhengyang applied to Zhonghai University, he insisted on coming to Zhonghai with him.
Tong Sheng's father did not agree at first, but after considering his relationship with Gao Zhengyang, he felt that it was more important for his son to maintain a good relationship with Gao Zhengyang than to go to university. Thus, he spent money to help Tong Sheng apply to a private university in Zhonghai.
Tong Sheng, who came to Zhonghai with Gao Zhengyang, was like a bird that had just been released from its cage. He was so excited that he could not control himself and even spoke lewdly.
Gao Zhengyang naturally knew what the Sea Calming Needle meant, but he could not be bothered. Xu Xu was a little puzzled and asked, "Everyone knows about the Sea Calming Needle, what's so funny?"
Tong Sheng did not have the guts to talk dirty to Xu Xu, so he said awkwardly, "It's just a joke, hehe …"
Zhang Hao, who was on the other side of Xu Xu, could not help but poke her head over. "You're laughing so lewdly, what kind of joke is that!" She was also studying at a second-rate university in Zhonghai, which was not far from Xu Xu's university. The two of them agreed to come together this time.
Tong Sheng hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Zhang Hao, "The Sea Calming Needle looks like some kind of prop. If you understand, then you understand. If you don't, then forget it …"
Zhang Hao vaguely understood and blushed a little. She did not dare to say anything else.
Although Xu Xu was innocent, she knew that it was definitely not something good, so she rolled her eyes at Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang whispered into Xu Xu's ear, "If you like it, I can help you, no problem."
"Hmph …" Xu Xu rolled her eyes at Gao Zhengyang, letting him experience it himself. She then dragged Zhang Hao aside, as if she was afraid that Gao Zhengyang would do something to her.
Xu Xu, who was following behind, could not help but sigh. Although his younger sister and Gao Zhengyang didn't act too intimately, the intimacy in their expressions couldn't be concealed.
Gao Zhengyang was too mysterious and unfathomable, and he was decisive in killing. Even she could not see through him. Xiaosu was innocent and kind. It was not a good thing for her to be with Gao Zhengyang.
Moreover, Gao Zhengyang had gotten himself into big trouble recently.
Xu Xu saw an announcement in the Jinling section of the forum. Shi Yunxuan and the Russian skinheads had a grudge against each other, and both parties had agreed to hold a public duel in October. The total amount of bets on the duel had already exceeded 1.5 billion.
A public duel with such a huge wager wasn't common in the Inner World. It attracted many people's attention.
Xu Xu was not interested in fighting and killing at first, but when she saw Shi Yunxuan's name, she thought of Gao Zhengyang and could not help but click on it to take a look.
After the news, someone posted a free post to explain the cause and effect of the duel.
The post did not mention Gao Zhengyang. It only said that Shi Yunxuan brought a powerhouse to kill the skinheads and destroy the Snow Wolf Gang. However, Xu Xu had a hunch that the mysterious powerhouse was Gao Zhengyang.
According to the time stated in the post, Gao Zhengyang was not in Shangjiang. Moreover, he had a close relationship with Shi Yunxuan. In late August, Shi Yunxuan had been staying in Gao Zhengyang's martial arts dojo.
The skinheads were notorious, and Xu Xu had long heard of them. She was a little worried that the other party would play dirty. She was not worried about Gao Zhengyang, but worried that Xiaosu would be implicated.
It was because of this worry that she deliberately applied for a long leave to accompany Xu Xu to school. However, she did not want to be uncomfortable with Xiaosu, nor did she want to interact with Gao Zhengyang, so she kept a distance and followed behind.
There were many people at the station, and Xu Xu was afraid that she would get lost, so she quickly went to meet up with Xu Xu and the others.
Gao Zhengyang and Xu Xu were both from Zhonghai University's Chinese department. As soon as they left the station, they could see many university students holding banners to welcome new students in the square.
Zhonghai University was one of the best universities in the Federation. Not only was it large, but its comprehensive strength could also be ranked in the top 20 in the world. The banner of Zhonghai University was naturally at the front.
Xu Xu saw it at a glance, and she pointed at the banner. "That's the senior who's picking us up …"
"I've booked a luxury business car to send you guys …" Tong Sheng said generously.
Xu Xu did not like to take a taxi, so she said, "We can follow our classmates and get to know more people. Also, with the senior's guidance, we can save a lot of time. "
Tong Sheng felt a little regretful, so he whispered to Gao Zhengyang, "Master, didn't you buy a luxury car? Why didn't you just drive over?"
Shangjiang was only about 300 kilometers away from Zhonghai, so it would not take long to drive there.
Gao Zhengyang patted Tong Sheng's shoulder. "Disciple, there are levels to being pretentious. You must keep a low profile in the beginning, and when someone is showing off their wealth, you can stand up and step on them. Not only will you be pretentious, but you'll also win the admiration of others, and you won't attract hatred because of your pretentiousness."
"Master, I'm too young …"
Tong Sheng's face was full of admiration. 'As expected of my master, he's really good at this.' Right now, he only hated that he was terrible at studying, and that he was useless, so he could not get into Zhonghai University. He could not act pretentiously with Gao Zhengyang.
Tong Sheng left with Zhang Hao first, while Xu Xu brought Xu Xu and Gao Zhengyang to Zhonghai University's reception station.
Xu Xu was a super beauty, so no matter where she went, she would attract countless attention. A few boys from Zhonghai University who were in charge of receiving the new students were already secretly looking at Xu Xu.
Seeing that she had brought them over, three boys ran up to her eagerly.
"Are you new students from Zhonghai University?" The man in the lead asked. He was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and he had a shrewd look on his face, which was very different from the two students beside him who had a scholarly look on their faces.
Xu Xu nodded. "They're new students from Zhonghai University's Chinese Department."
The man in the lead had already noticed that Xu Xu was bright and beautiful, but she also had a sense of competence and calmness, so she was definitely not a student.
He extended his hand and introduced himself. "My name is Chen Fuchang, I'm the new student counselor of Zhonghai University."
Xu Xu shook his hand gently. "I'm Xu Xu's older sister, I'm here to send them to school …"
After reading the admission notice, Chen Fuchang eagerly sent Xu Xu and the others to the bus. There were already many new students sitting in the bus, and when they saw Xu Xu, their eyes lit up.
The atmosphere in the bus was originally very lively, but it suddenly became much quieter.
Xu Xu was already used to other people's gazes, so she did not care about it at all. She simply brought Xu Xu to a random seat.
The new student counselor, Chen Fuchang, was very enthusiastic, so he stood next to Xu Xu and chatted with her for a while before Yiyi reluctantly left. The other boys were not so thick-skinned, so although they were all peeking at them, no one dared to come up and talk to them.
Gao Zhengyang sat in the back row behind Xu Xu. He glanced at the male students around him and secretly felt a little regretful. No one actually stared at Xu Xu, so he did not have a chance to show off.
After waiting for about an hour, the bus was almost full, so Chen Fuchang directed the bus to return to Zhonghai University. Along the way, he tried to get close to Xu Xu.
Xu Xu's response was very polite, but there was an obvious sense of distance.
However, Chen Fuchang did not want to give up. After arriving at Zhonghai University, he took the initiative to help Xu Xu and Gao Zhengyang with their admission procedures. He even patted his chest and told them to look for him if they had any problems.
Just as he was happily talking, he saw Xu Xu take out her phone to call someone. After a while, the vice-principal, Fang Yu, personally ran over.
Xu Chunqiu and Fang Yu were classmates, so they were quite close. Knowing that Xu Xu was studying at Zhonghai University, Fang Yu naturally took good care of her.
In front of Fang Yu, Chen Fuchang immediately became well-behaved. His smile became more humble, and the way he looked at Xu Xu was no longer as presumptuous as before.
He knew very well that a family that could be friends with the vice-principal was not someone he could associate with. Moreover, Xu Xu's appearance was outstanding. Even if Xu Xu did not care, the man next to her could still kill him if he rashly approached her.
"This is Xiao Xu's classmate, Gao Zhengyang …"
Xu Xu ignored Chen Fuchang and formally introduced him to Gao Zhengyang.
Fang Yu was also a little surprised by Xu Xu's attitude. He scrutinized Gao Zhengyang and smiled. "I remember you. You're the top scholar in Jinling University. You're amazing."
