The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

"Good, I'm glad you're back safely." Cen Jiexiao suppressed her worries and showed a relieved smile on her face. "Let's all go into the academy's lounge. I've asked someone to prepare cakes and tea. You can have a good rest first."

Everyone followed Sister Cen Xiao into the academy's lounge to drink tea and eat to replenish their energy. After all, they had only eaten some dry food for a whole day and night.

Lu Qingyun frowned, didn't drink the tea, didn't eat anything, and walked straight to Cen Jiexiao.

Lu Qingyun reported the details of the exercise to Cen Jiexiao, including how they cleverly avoided the pursuit of the anti-Japanese camp, how they dealt with the "enemy", and how they finally successfully completed the mission.

There was a hint of excitement and pride in his tone, as if he was showing Cen Jiexiao how much they had grown during this period.

Listening to Lu Qingyun's report, a gratified smile appeared on her face. She nodded in appreciation, "You did a great job. In this assessment, you demonstrated the strength and courage that the Intelligence Department should have. I am very pleased."

Lu Qingyun, however, did not relax because of Cen Jiexiao's praise. He was silent for a moment, and said in a heavy tone: "Dean, although we finally completed the task, we also exposed many problems during the exercise."

Cen Jiexiao's smile gradually froze on her face.

"what is the problem?"

"Our..." Lu Qingyun took a deep breath, "Once the plan goes astray, we will be at a loss."

"And," Zhang Tiecheng couldn't help but interrupt, "our disguise skills are still too immature. They'll be easily seen through by the anti-Japanese camp."

"The most important thing is Chen Jingxing... he saw through our plan." Lu Qingyun's tone became more serious.

"What? You said Chen Jingxing saw through your plan? How is that possible!" Cen Jiexiao asked in disbelief.

Lu Qingyun nodded and described in detail how Chen Jingxing saw through their plan, turned the tables on them, and used them to force them into danger.

"This Chen Jingxing is indeed not simple!" Cen Jiexiao's face was gloomy. She originally thought that Chen Jingxing was just a playboy with a pretty face, but she didn't expect him to be so hidden. It seems that she still underestimated him.

"Absolutely true," Lu Qingyun said with certainty. "He didn't expose us directly at the time and even cooperated with us in the 'rehearsal'. But thinking back on that look in his eyes afterwards... it seems he really knew everything."

Cen Jiexiao silently chanted in her heart: Chen Jingxing! It seems that the anti-Japanese camp is indeed full of hidden talents, and Chen Jingxing is both wise and brave.

"When did he find out?"

"Just when I was pretending to be a soldier of the anti-Japanese camp to pass on false information." Lu Qingyun recalled the scene at that time.

"He said..." Lu Qingyun paused, imitating Chen Jingxing's tone at the time, and said word by word, "'In my eyes, your tricks are nothing more than children playing house.'"

Cen Jiexiao's heart suddenly fell silent. Cen Jiexiao only felt that if Chen Jingxing was an enemy, the Qiming Group of the Intelligence Department, which was known as the elite, would be wiped out this year.

No, she doesn't believe it!

The other six members of the Intelligence Department, led by Wen Kuan, dragged their exhausted bodies into the lounge. Cen Jiexiao watched them, feeling a strange feeling within her. These guys, usually so arrogant and self-proclaimed as the best of the best, now looked like frost-bitten eggplants, drooping and withered.

"Tell me, what happened? You all look like you have lost your soul." Cen Jiexiao asked in a serious tone.

Li Renyuan spoke first, a hint of fear in his tone: "Dean, you don't know, those guys in the anti-Japanese camp are like wolf cubs, with sharp noses! We were discovered as soon as we got near their camp. If I hadn't run fast, I would have almost died there!"

"That's right!" Another student, Liu Lulin, also complained. "Those people in the anti-Japanese camp are all martial artists. Although we are quite skilled, we are nothing compared to them! And most importantly, they have more people!"

"They chased us for several miles!" Qian Qiuwu said with lingering fear. "If we hadn't hidden in the mountains and used the terrain and camouflage clothing to shake them off, we'd probably have been kidnapped and taken back to camp by now!"

The students recounted the dangers they encountered and how they cleverly resolved them. Some described how they used the cover of darkness to sneak into the anti-Japanese camp's granary and documented that the army still had six months' supply. Some described how they disguised themselves as merchants to infiltrate the camp and gather intelligence. Still others described how they used smoke and firecrackers to create chaos and escape.

Cen Jiexiao listened quietly, her brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed. She knew these students were talented but relatively inexperienced. This practical assessment was both a severe test and a valuable learning opportunity for them.

"Alright, stop complaining. Although you exposed a lot of problems during this assessment, you also demonstrated your courage and wisdom. Overall, it's pretty good." Cen Jiexiao's tone was filled with a hint of relief. "Go back and get some rest. Teacher Wen will go over the assessment details with you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the students stood up and left as if they had been pardoned. Soon, only Cen Jiexiao and Lu Qingyun were left in the lounge.

"Qingyun, please stay. I have something to tell you."

Lu Qingyun's heart trembled. He knew that what Cen Jiexiao was going to say next must be about Chen Jingxing.

"Dean, do you think I underestimated the enemy?" Lu Qingyun lowered his head, with a hint of guilt in his tone.

"Qingyun, I know you've always been quite confident, but this time, you really underestimated your opponent. If you lead the Qiming Group in the future, you'll be responsible for eleven people, but if you were to lead the entire Intelligence Department, how many people would be involved?" Cen Jiexiao's tone was unusually serious. "Take our opponent this time, Chen Jingxing, for example. We're already struggling to deal with him. Will there be an opponent or enemy more formidable than him?"

"Dean, I understand. I will be more cautious in the future." Lu Qingyun nodded with a little shame.

"Well, I'm glad you understand." Cen Jiexiao patted Lu Qingyun on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Qingyun, you must remember that there are always people better than you. Never underestimate any opponent, and never overestimate yourself."

"Dean, I will keep your teachings in mind." Lu Qingyun took a deep breath. He knew that Cen Jiexiao's words were not only referring to Chen Jingxing, but also to his future life path.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Cen Jiexiao waved her hand, indicating that Lu Qingyun could leave.

Lu Qingyun bowed respectfully and turned to leave the lounge. Cen Jiexiao looked at his back and fell into deep thought. Chen Jingxing, Chen Jingxing, who are you?

It seems necessary to find out Chen Jingxing's background.

Cen Jiexiao stood up and walked to the window, her heart filled with doubt and uneasiness. She had a feeling that something was quietly happening...
