Chapter 295 The Cold Marshal Is Not Cold 9

As Qiu Shimiao spoke, she stretched out her hand to push Chao Yao. Just as her palm touched Chao Yao's shoulder, Chao Yao slightly turned sideways to avoid it. Qiu Shimiao missed her and staggered, almost falling.

Qiu Shimiao became angry and reached out to grab Chao Yao's arm again, his nails almost digging into Chao Yao's flesh.

Chao Yao shook her hand away with force, and Qiu Shimiao was shocked by the force and took a few steps back.

"How dare you resist!"

Qiu Shimiao gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, trying to grab Chao Yao's hair.

Chao Yao reacted quickly and raised his hand to block Qiu Shimiao's attack. The two men's arms collided with a dull sound.

At this moment, the assistant principal who had been standing nearby finally couldn't help but yelled, "Stop! What are you doing!"

Qiu Shimiao and her followers were startled by the scolding, but Qiu Shimiao quickly reacted and said arrogantly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my business!"

The assistant principal's face darkened and he said seriously, "This is an excellent student who was admitted by the school. You are bullying her so unreasonably. You are destroying the order and reputation of the school!"

As he spoke, he quickly stood in front of Chao Yao, opened his arms, and protected Chao Yao behind him.

When Qiu Shimiao heard this, the arrogance on her face subsided a little, but she still said stubbornly: "Humph, who knows if he used some shameful backdoor." Her eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness.

The two followers also shrank their necks, not daring to move forward rashly. One of them whispered, "Miao, why don't we just forget it? This is the principal's assistant, we probably can't afford to offend her."

Qiu Shimiao glared at the henchman fiercely: "What are you afraid of! But let her go today."

After saying that, he stared at Chao Yao fiercely and said, "Just wait for me!" Then he left unwillingly with his followers.

Chao Yao looked at the backs of Qiu Shimiao and others as they left, still somewhat unresponsive.

The assistant principal turned around, looked at Chao Yao with concern, and asked, "Student, are you okay? They are so rude, have you ever offended them before?"

Chao Yao shook his head, bewildered: "I don't know them at all, and I don't know why this happened."

The assistant principal sighed and said slowly, "The leader, Qiu Shimiao, is an illegitimate daughter of the Qiu family's direct branch. Her mother died early, and her position in the Qiu family was awkward. Moreover, she herself has no particularly outstanding abilities, her academic performance is mediocre, and her talents are not outstanding, so she has never been recognized by the Qiu family."

"But the Qiu family is a big family after all. Even though she is an illegitimate daughter, she always feels superior to others outside, is arrogant, and acts arrogantly."

"One of the two followers is called Lin Xiao. She comes from a small family. The family has always wanted to cling to the Qiu family to gain resources and benefits, so she tried her best to curry favor with Qiu Shimiao, hoping to gain some benefits for the family."

"The other one is called Wang Yue. He has no background and is just a brainless follower. He always follows Qiu Shimiao's lead. These three people together are used to bullying in school."

Chao Yao didn't expect that Qiu Shimiao would behave like this at school. He was really shocked.

"Have they done anything that would anger the heavens and the people?"

The assistant principal continued with a look of resentment, "Before, a freshman accidentally bumped into Qiu Shimiao, and just because he apologized, the three of them blocked the classroom door and insulted him for a long time. The freshman was so scared that he avoided them whenever he saw them."

"Another time, the school organized an event and another group's work was better than theirs. They slandered them for plagiarism and spread rumors everywhere, causing great trouble to the students in that group."

Seeing Chao Yao's good attitude, the assistant felt a little worried.

"Try to avoid them in the future and don't get yourself into trouble."

Chao Yao nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, assistant. I will be careful."

The assistant principal patted Chao Yao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the dormitory first. Don't let this affect your mood."

Chao Yao was led to his dormitory by the principal's assistant, and he was thinking about what had just happened all the way.

As she walked, she quietly used her spiritual sense to investigate and discovered that Qiu Shimiao and the other two were secretly following her.

Chao Yao snorted in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face. He just quietly quickened his pace.

The assistant principal didn't seem to notice and was still introducing some of the school's situations to Chao Yao.

When they arrived at the dormitory building, Chao Yao looked back and saw Qiu Shimiao and the other two hiding in the corner, looking over here furtively.

Chao Yao thanked the principal's assistant and walked into the dormitory building.

It seems that Qiu Shimiao will not give up, and coincidentally, she also wants to find an opportunity for revenge.

Ignoring the gazes of Qiu Shimiao and the other two, Chao Yao walked into his dormitory in his own villa.

When Chao Yao walked into the dormitory, the first thing that caught his eye was an automatic sensor door. The door slowly opened, and the scene inside was amazing.

The walls of the room are made of new smart materials, which can change colors and patterns at will according to mood and needs.

The ceiling is inlaid with brilliant starry sky lights, as if the entire universe has been moved into the room.

The ground is a soft and elastic energy floor that can automatically adjust temperature and hardness. Walking on it is like walking on the clouds.

Opposite the door is a huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, which offers an unobstructed view of the scenery outside.

The windows are equipped with intelligent shading and radiation protection functions that can be switched with just a thought.

There is a suspended bed on one side of the room, surrounded by a faint energy shield, which can provide a comfortable sleeping environment while protecting the safety of the sleeper.

There is a smart wardrobe next to the bed, and the clothes inside will automatically recommend combinations based on the weather and occasion.

On the other side of the dormitory is a high-tech study area with a floating desk with adjustable height and angle, equipped with an intelligent eye protection lamp and a virtual display screen, which can meet various learning and work needs.

There is also a small laboratory next to the desk, equipped with the most advanced experimental equipment, which is convenient for Chaoyao to conduct pharmaceutical research.

There is also a leisure area in the corner, furnished with comfortable sofas and a coffee table. The smart beverage machine on the coffee table can make a variety of interstellar specialty drinks.

In the bathroom, fully automatic cleaning equipment and multifunctional bathing facilities are available, and there is even a health cabin for physical examinations and care.

The entire dormitory is full of a sense of futurism and technology, making Chaoyao full of expectations for future campus life.

Chao Yao was looking around the dormitory when Ye Fufeng's holographic image appeared directly in the room.

"Yaoyao, are you adapting well in school?"

Ye Fufeng asked with concern, his figure was lifelike, as if it was right in front of him.

"Not bad, the dormitory environment is beyond imagination."

"That's good. If there's anything you're not used to, be sure to tell me. I have some things to do in the army today, so I can't take you to school, but I've informed the principal in advance."

Chao Yao responded, "I know, don't worry. By the way, I ran into some trouble at school today."

Ye Fufeng frowned, "What's going on?"

Chao Yao briefly recounted his encounter with Qiu Shimiao and others.

Ye Fufeng's face darkened. "This illegitimate daughter of the Qiu family is too arrogant. Don't worry. I'll think of a way."

Chao Yao quickly said: "No, I can handle it myself."

Ye Fufeng smiled helplessly, "Okay, then you better be careful."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Ye Fufeng's holographic image gradually faded.

Chao Yao took a deep breath and began to pack his things, preparing for the new campus life.

However, although Ye Fufeng said that he would not help, he actually immediately sent a warning to the Qiu family.

When the Qiu family received the warning from Ye Fufeng, they were thrown into panic.

The head of the Qiu family personally ordered that Qiu Shimiao was strictly prohibited from provoking Chao Yao again, otherwise she would be expelled from the family.

When Qiu Shimiao learned that his family had restricted him because of Ye Fufeng's warning, he was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Why? What's so good about Chao Yao that Ye Fufeng would protect her so much!"

Qiu Shimiao paced back and forth in the room, speaking through gritted teeth.

She had been looking forward to marrying Ye Fufeng in order to improve her status in the family, but now Ye Fufeng was too caring towards Chao Yao, which made her plan go awry.

"No, I can't just let this go."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Qiu Shimiao's eyes, "I must find out the details of this Chao Yao."

So, Qiu Shimiao secretly instructed Lin Xiao and Wang Yue to collect all the information about Chao Yao.

"Find out everything about her background, her interpersonal relationships, and everything else!" Qiu Shimiao ordered the two.

Although Lin Xiao and Wang Yue were afraid, they did not dare to disobey Qiu Shimiao's wishes and could only bite the bullet and inquire.

However, Chao Yao's experience is not so easy to explore. Her rise in the interstellar world is full of mystery, and coupled with Ye Fufeng's intentional or unintentional protection, Qiu Shimiao's investigation is very difficult.

A few days passed, and Lin Xiao and Wang Yue still found nothing.

"What a bunch of useless people! They can't even do such a simple thing!" Qiu Shimiao was furious at the two of them.

But she did not give up. She secretly planned other conspiracies and schemes in her mind, vowing to make it impossible for Chao Yao to gain a foothold in the school.

The next day, students walked into the classroom one after another. The teacher walked in and said with a smile: "Students, today is the first class of the new semester, so let's start with self-introductions so that everyone can get to know each other."

The students stood up one by one to introduce themselves. When it was Chao Yao's turn, she stood up gracefully and introduced her name and the planet she came from, as well as her love and expectations for pharmacy clearly and concisely.

Qiu Shimiao sat below, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. When it was her turn to introduce herself, she deliberately mentioned her family background and said sarcastically, "Some people, don't think they can walk around in this school just because they have a little achievement."

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was targeting Chao Yao.
