Roadmap to the Boundless Sky

Chapter 35: An Abnormal Start Of The New Semester

Martial Valor University’s new semester began on September 1st.At 6 a.m., Chen Chuan straightened his Martial Valor University uniform in front of his closet mirror. Yu Wan had already ironed it for him.

Chen Chuan grabbed his hat and put it on his head, then went to the door with a luggage bag in hand. Once he stepped out the door, he took one last look at his room before shutting the door slowly.

Yu Wan was waiting for him in the living room. “Chan’er, no one will watch over you in Martial Valor University. Remember to eat. Don’t study too hard, and remember to go to bed early. Don’t overwork yourself.”

“Don’t worry, Aunty. The university is very generous when it comes to food and accommodation. I also get a day off every ten days, so I’ll come back to visit,” Chen Chuan said with a smile.

Yu Wan smoothed out his collar and patted it before she stepped back and said in satisfaction, “Now look at you, looking all handsome!”

“I’ll be leaving now, Aunty. Tell Uncle about it for me,” Chen Chuan said.

“Okay. Be careful on your way.”

Chen Chuan went out, and a blast of refreshing, cold air blew against his face. He did not ride his bicycle today but instead walked to Martial Valor University.

He ran through the proceedings of the day. The opening ceremony was around 9 a.m. Before that, he had to go to his dorm to leave his luggage. After the ceremony, upperclassmen would bring the freshmen around to familiarize them with the campus and what was where. They would then have time to themselves. Then, on the next day, they would officially begin their new lives as university students.

In less than an hour, Chen Chuan arrived in front of the university gate.

Just as he was about to walk in, a gray Discoverer sedan—another car brand—drove over and stopped not too far away from him. The door opened, and a tall young man stepped out of it. He had short, neat, black hair and wore a crisp, dark blue suit and tie. He also wore a pair of well-polished black leather shoes.

“Chen Chuan, is that you?” The young man smiled and walked over to extend his hand to him. “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Wei Changan, a senior at Martial Valor University.”

When Chen Chuan heard the name, a thought popped up in his head, and he held Wei Changan’s hand before returning the greeting. “Hello. Are you Wei... Captain Wei’s son?”

“Yes, I’m Wei Laohu’s son. You can just call him Tiger. Don’t feel shy about calling him by that nickname.”

Chen Chuan observed Wei Changan. He had met Wei Laohu before. He was rowdy, fierce, and brawny. To think that his son would be such a refined person. Wei Changan even seemed to have been looking specifically for him. So, he asked, “Do you have business with me?”

Wei Changan’s expression turned serious. “The university sent me on a dispatch mission, and I need your cooperation. Sorry, you might not be able to join the opening ceremony on time today.”

Chen Chuan was surprised. “A dispatch mission? Are you sure? I’m just a freshman who hasn’t even started...”

works and resources, and often knew one another. Of course, there was competition among them as well. Some high-ranking agents were even given a certain amount of power.

Once Chen Chuan came to understand Wei Changan’s current status, it became clear why Wei Changan was on the mission.

“Don’t worry. The agency I’m affiliated with has communicated with the Blood Scars Gang leader already. They’ve agreed to hand Qiu Huzi to us. We’re just going there for formalities’ sake,” Wei Changan said.

“And you’re bringing me along because I’m involved in this?” Chen Chuan asked.

“Come on. I’m doing you a favor here! Don’t you know that these dispatch missions affect your academic performance evaluation? It affects whether you’ll get your permit later on, and I’m talking about the one permit that you can only get from Martial Valor University in all of the Great Shun Republic!” Wei Changan declared.

“Thank you, then.”

“That’s the spirit. We both have family working for the Constabulary in Yangzhi City. The Constabulary is huge, and many other constables’ family members also got into Martial Valor University, but only four of those still studying have passed the follow-up exam, including you and me. Who else would I help if not you?”

The Constabulary was very united, but...

Chen Chuan had a strange expression on his face. Did Wei Laohu ask his son to do him a favor so that Nian Fuli wouldn’t have the heart to ask him to eat a mop?
