Chu Yun and Han Cheng'an parted on bad terms.

Han Cheng'an stared at Chu Yun's retreating figure, but she never turned around, so he stormed off in a huff.

Chu Yun glanced at where Roland was and found that both Roland and Gu Fenglin were gone, and her heart sank slightly.

"Jinjin, help me see where Luo Lan is, and whether Gu Fenglin hurt her?" Chu Yun instructed Banjin.

"Yunyun, Roland and Gu Fenglin had an argument. Gu Fenglin just left, but Roland will be back soon," Banjin said.

Chu Yun: "That's good."

When Roland was mentioned, Chu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Roland was born into the Luo family, a small and humble family that had relied on the Gu family for generations.

Roland was exceptionally talented from a young age, with both his mental and physical abilities being rated S, making him a rare genius. As a result, he was sent to the Gu family to train and grew up there.

Gu Fenglin and Luo Lan have known each other since childhood; they can be considered childhood sweethearts.

When Gu Fenglin was young, he was poisoned by the insectoids due to his parents' entanglement. His talent was never apparent and he was often looked down upon by his family.

This is why he only came into contact with forging magical artifacts at the age of seven.

At that time, Roland was young, and under the guidance of his family, he became closer to Gu Fenglin's half-brother.

Therefore, Gu Fenglin harbored hostility towards her, but he pretended so well that no one noticed.

When Gu Fenglin was seven years old, his mother risked her life to go to the insect race to find an antidote in order to cure the poison in his body.

Finally, the antidote was found, but Gu Fenglin's mother never returned.

After Gu Fenglin was cured of the poison, his talent was revealed, and he quickly became the most talented forging junior in the Gu family, and his status rose accordingly.

In front of outsiders, he is a charming and talented forging genius, but behind the scenes, his heart is twisted.

Knowing that it was his father's mistress who poisoned him and indirectly caused his mother's death, Gu Fenglin became even more paranoid.

He captured the woman, sliced ​​her alive with knife, and after she died, he threw her body into the wormhole, so that she would die in the belly of the worm, just like his mother.

As for the woman's son, the child who was taken back to the Gu family by the Gu family head and had the delusion of inheriting the Gu family, was poisoned by Gu Fenglin and had his talent ruined, becoming a complete cripple. To this day, he lives a life worse than death and is looked down upon by others.

Logically speaking, Gu Fenglin should have gotten his revenge and his resentment should have subsided, but he became increasingly indifferent, even taking pleasure in toying with other people's true feelings and enjoying seeing people in despair and pain.

His first prey was Roland.

He deliberately seduced Roland and won her affections, even recommending her to participate in the Lan Ying Forging Competition, just as he had done with Chu Yun.

After Roland won first place in the competition, he sent someone to accuse Roland of cheating, delivering a heavy blow to Roland when she thought she was the happiest person in the world.

He told Roland himself that he had done it all and that he had never liked Roland.

Roland was devastated and was also placed under a spell by Pei Shaojin. If he mentioned this matter, the spell would be triggered, and he would die a violent death.

Roland didn't care about her own life, but she had her family.

She couldn't even handle the Gu family alone, let alone the Han family and the royal family on top of that.

Therefore, Roland could not bear the pressure at Imperial University for half a year and went to Yueming Star. The Roland family also settled in Yueming Star with her.

The so-called cheating case was seen by the forging families as a blatant disgrace, so they blocked all information and forbade any insiders to leak it.

Therefore, few people know why Roland insisted on changing his major and then joining the army. Even if they did know, no one dared to say it, and even fewer knew that this matter was related to Gu, Han, and Pei.

Despite suffering such injustice, Roland still managed to achieve military merits under the Moon and Star, protecting the region. Just now, he even subtly reminded Chu Yun to be careful of those around her.

This shows that she was of strong and noble character.

Chu Yun didn't want her to get hurt again, and she was slightly relieved to hear that Roland was alright.

She will definitely help Roland get justice.

Taking out the route map, Chu Yun carefully considered her options. Given her low physical fitness, she needed to plan carefully if she wanted to run 100 kilometers in an hour.

Just then, Roland returned.

"Stand in line, the match is about to begin," Roland said in a calm voice.

The students straightened their backs and came to the starting line.

"The match begins!" Roland gave the order, and everyone shot off like arrows.

Two hundred people running together—it was quite a sight.

When people run together, and are all young and energetic, it's easy for competitive thoughts to arise.

They all basically accelerated their pace, hoping to be among the top few.

Chu Yun didn't have that kind of ambition; all her energy was focused on finishing the 100 kilometers. Trying to win this momentary battle of wills wouldn't do any good.

So while almost everyone else sped up, only Chu Yun quietly slowed down.

Soon, Chu Yun was left at the very back.

She ran slowly and steadily, while paying attention to breathing to minimize energy expenditure.

Chu Yun looked like she was physically exhausted and falling behind.

But only she knew that she was preparing for the final sprint.

Rather than going all out from the start and ending up exhausted and in pain, it's better to maintain a steady, effortless pace.

Chu Yun prefers a consistently sweet experience rather than one that starts sweet and ends bitter.

As long as you arrive at your destination within the allotted time, there's no need to strive to be number one.

After all, this jogging event was just an elimination round, the purpose of which was only to select people who could participate in the later competitions, not a real ranking competition.

In the distant stands, Gu Fenglin watched Chu Yun jogging like a tortoise, a smile flashing in his eyes.

He knew this girl was somewhat clever and knew how to assess situations.

Pei Shaojin sat on a tree on either side of the track, his gaze also fixed on Chu Yun, on the face that appeared in his dreams every day.

Chu Yun finally appeared before him in a real and tangible way, no longer through a dream.

Pei Shaojin felt a moment of satisfaction.

After wiping out the five reptiles, Pei Shaojin went to other planets and fought several battles.

When he finally felt he had overcome his inner demons and could face Chu Yun with equanimity, he learned from his subordinates that Chu Yun had been subjected to malicious speculation because of him, and even had to achieve a top-five ranking in the physical fitness competition.

He had never regretted anything so much. He rushed back in a panic, but he didn't know how to face Chu Yun.

He also saw Roland, but the restriction was placed by him. If Roland dared to say anything she shouldn't, Pei Shaojin would kill her instantly.

Therefore, he did not make a special trip to Chu Yun's presence like Han Cheng'an and Gu Fenglin.

Pei Shaojin hadn't figured out how to face Chu Yun yet, and he didn't even understand why he was so nervous about her.

I get angry when I find out she's been humiliated, I feel sorry for her when I find out she's been punished, and I'm so happy when I hear that she goes to the 101 training room every day.

Chu Yun seemed to be able to control his emotions, and he gradually stopped resisting being influenced by her.

Until he could think of a better solution, he preferred to stay by Chu Yun's side.
