Lu Sheng hadn't even spoken yet when Li Yihan frowned and snapped.
"Liu Feng, what's your problem? Are you doing this just to make people uncomfortable?"
Liu Feng quickly put on a grin and explained, "What are you talking about? I was just casually asking, trying to figure out how Lu Sheng is getting home. If he doesn't have a ride, I could have the car from our tutoring center take him…"
Li Yihan looked utterly disgusted.
Just then, Lu Sheng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
"No need. The car from our training camp is already here."
"Huh?"
Liu Feng froze, clearly caught off guard by that response.
"Where is it? Lu Sheng, I'll go with you. If your training camp's car can drop me off along the way, that'd be great."
Li Yihan quickly chimed in, clearly trying to show support for Lu Sheng, and gave Liu Feng a hard glare while she was at it.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied, "I'm not sure if it's okay. I'll have to ask first."
"Alright, I'll wait!"
Li Yihan looked absolutely determined.
Liu Feng's face was practically green with frustration—if anyone ever got hoisted by their own petard, it was him.
Even Huang Yuan, who usually was a bit slow on the uptake, had now realized that Liu Feng and Lu Sheng were clearly not on good terms.
On one hand, she thought Lu Sheng was a pretty decent guy—good-looking and with a nice personality. On the other hand, she wanted to hitch a ride with Liu Feng.
She stood there, torn, not knowing whose side to take.
At that moment, all three of them noticed Lu Sheng suddenly moving, walking quickly in a particular direction.
Looked like he was really going to ask about the car.
"Damn, the kid really does have a car coming for him..."
Liu Feng muttered through clenched teeth, but midway through the sentence, his voice got stuck in his throat.
It wasn't just him. Li Yihan and Huang Yuan were also frozen in place, eyes slowly widening in shock.
They watched as Lu Sheng walked straight up to the vehicle they had just been discussing—the one Liu Feng had smugly declared was reserved for "top-tier figures," only those eligible to join the Genius Training Camp of Dongning Province.
They saw someone step off that very car to greet Lu Sheng. After a brief exchange, Lu Sheng casually strolled back toward them.
"Let's go. The teacher in charge agreed."
Lu Sheng said calmly, gesturing for Li Yihan, and also called out to Huang Yuan, "You come too, Huang Yuan."
Li Yihan nodded, still in a daze, and followed behind him.
Huang Yuan looked completely shocked, her expression dramatic and her eyes still wide open, but she also quickly caught up.
That left only Liu Feng standing there like an idiot. Lu Sheng hadn't spared him a single glance the entire time.
"F*ck!"
Liu Feng suddenly came to his senses, blurting out in disbelief, "No way. He's bluffing. Just wait—he's gonna get kicked off that car..."
But all he could do was stand there and watch as Lu Sheng, with Li Yihan and Huang Yuan in tow, smoothly boarded that uniquely styled business van—clearly marked with a banner that read Genius Training Camp.
The door shut. The car started. It drove off into the distance.
The entire process was smooth and effortless—no mishaps, no drama.
None of the "twist endings" Liu Feng had been hoping for occurred.
Liu Feng was thoroughly stunned.
He started wondering if it might just be a case of mistaken identity. Maybe there was more than one "Genius Training Camp" in Dongning City, and Lu Sheng had just gotten into some knockoff version?
Unfortunately, Liu Feng had once seen a real Genius Training Camp vehicle before—right outside the Tree Ocean Martial Union—and it looked exactly like the one Lu Sheng had just gotten on.
Which meant...
He had just spent the whole day bragging and posturing in front of someone qualified to join the most elite martial arts gathering in all of Dongning Province—and then went out of his way to spite him before parting.
Liu Feng's mind went completely blank.
……
Li Yihan remained in a daze even after she boarded the van, got seated, and watched it drive for quite some time.
Just moments ago, Liu Feng had been going on and on about how exclusive the Genius Training Camp was—how impressive someone had to be to get in, how epic it was to even ride in this vehicle.
Then, the next moment, Lu Sheng just casually brought her onboard like they were hopping on the bus outside her house.
It all felt surreal, like she was in some kind of dream.
Huang Yuan was in the same boat—though she wore her emotions on her face more obviously. Her eyes were still wide as saucers, and her expression screamed lingering disbelief.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, stayed perfectly composed. After getting on, he simply turned toward the window and quietly watched the scenery pass by.
It had to be said—the conditions of the Genius Training Camp were really quite nice.
They said it was a "private car," and they meant it.
Other than the three of them, the van was completely empty.
Only a driver in white gloves sat at the front, focused on the r
Partway through, he asked for Li Yihan and Huang Yuan's destinations and dropped them off one by one.
"Lu Sheng…"
Just before getting off, Li Yihan bit her lip, hesitating about whether she should ask for his contact info.
But before she could muster the courage, Lu Sheng was already waving goodbye to her.
As she watched the van slowly pull away, Li Yihan suddenly felt a hollow emptiness in her chest.
She had this strong premonition—after today, she might never see Lu Sheng again.
Through the transparent window, she caught a glimpse of Lu Sheng's clean, handsome profile. In her eyes, it still shimmered like a star.
But she knew deep down—there was a vast gap between them.
Inside the van and outside of it... they might as well be from two different worlds.
She felt like a commoner who had accidentally wandered into a royal ball—after the fleeting magic, she was bound to return to reality.
"We're here."
The driver's voice pulled Lu Sheng from his thoughts as the car gradually came to a stop.
Lu Sheng nodded, picked up his suitcase, and stepped off the van.
In front of him was a massive, heavily guarded military-style base.
