The next day, a post about clarifying the rumor went viral in the university.

The post consisted of the original versions of the fake photos and the video from the students and teachers from Murong Xue's high school.

The first scene of the video was that the teachers in the school spoke highly of Murong Xue and the students were holding signs that read: "We all like Murong Xue. Murong Xue is our goddess."

"Murong Xue is an excellent student and I'm delighted to have taught such a student."

"She is the pride of both the school and all the teachers."

"Murong Xue has excellent character and academic achievements, a rising star from A province."

"My last name is Huang. I was Murong Xue's head teacher. I want to clarify that those photos are totally pranks. Murong Xue is a very innocent student, so we hope that everyone from the University of Medicine can treat her well. Thank you."

"..."

The pose also presented Murong Xue's report card, which showed that she had full marks on all subjects. In the end, it stated that Murong Xue was now with Chu Yisen and that she did not apply for joining the student union for the president of the student union, Liu Huali.

The post had caused an uproar in the university. Everything said in the post was evidence-based and the video was another irrefutable proof. So many students from her high school spoke highly of Murong Xue. The one who had posted that Murong Xue was abusing power was condemned by the public.

Therefore, Murong Xue met students from time to time who came to apologize to her on the way. After this incident, she became more famous in the university. This event and what Mr. Huang said had become buzzwords among the students. Many students who had insulted her became her fans now because of the guilt.

As a result, this event helped raise her profile and she was thus recommended as the first candidate for the title of beauty queen in the University of Medicine by the students. In the eyes of the boys, Murong Xue was beautiful, intelligent, and elegant. She was worthy of the title.

Long Meijing almost went mad when she saw that Murong Xue was smiling at those who were apologizing to her and she was jealous that Murong Xue was still graceful and pretty. Long Meijing suffered a crushing defeat. She had expected that Murong Xue would be expelled, but now Murong Xue became a big star in the university. Long Meijing did not believe that Chu Yisen was Murong Xue's boyfriend as he was someone her family wanted to flatter. Besides, she had seen him before at a banquet and she doubted that such a good-looking man would fall in love with a girl from A province.

She thought the photo in which Chu Yisen kissed Murong Xue's forehead only proved their intimate relationship, but she wondered why there was no information being leaked about them before if they were a real couple. Long Meijing had never heard that Chu Yisen had any girlfriend, so she suspected that Murong Xue was faking it to handle the rumor and she might be someone Chu Yisen used to kill time.

Long Meijing gnashed her teeth and left in anger.

After a while, another post that suspected the relationship between Chu Yisen and Murong Xue appeared on the school forum and many students commented on it, but no one doubted Murong Xue this time. As people saw the post was from the same person who had posted those photos, they felt that it was all about jealousy.

At noon, an eye-catching red sports car parked outside the university gate and attracted many students' attention.

When Murong Xue walked to the gate, Chu Yisen got out of the car and came forward with a bunch of bright-colored roses, "Xue, this is for you. School is over. Let's go home."

Seeing such a handsome face, boys and girls surrounding them let out long screams. Murong Xue took over the roses and whispered to him, "Yisen, isn't this too much?"

But Chu Yisen took her by the shoulders and whispered back, "How come? You're my girlfriend."

To the crowd, this was a loving scene.

Before getting on the car, Chu Yisen raised a bright smile and appealed to the enthusiastic onlookers, "I want to make it clear that Murong Xue is my girlfriend. Please don't bully her just because she is a new face. Treat her well and thank you." Then the car drove away.

What Chu Yisen did was a heavy blow to the second post and it thus went unnoticed very soon.

Later, there was a new post saying, "Don't worry. We'll treat Murong Xue well." And this pose became the top trending and many students made the same promise in the comment section, saying that they would protect their goddess.

Even Murong Xue did not expect it to be so effective herself, but she was glad that it came to a close. However, she did not find out who was behind these although she had traced the IP address and knew the posts were from the student union's working computers. She could have found out who was targeting her if it had been a personal computer. She hated to be threatened by people in the dark. But she had to give up for now despite her unwillingness.

She turned around to look at Chu Yisen, who was driving his car in a good mood, and said in a plain voice, "Thank you, Yisen."

"What for? I told you there was no 'thank you' between us. You never need to thank me because I'm willing to do these for you." Chu Yisen only wished that the good beginning could lead to a happy ending till the end of his life.

On the other hand, Shangguan Mo, who was in the President's office, was disappointedly sitting on the sofa, the only thing in one piece inside the room. The office was a mess.

He could not believe that she had made her relationship with another man known to the public while he failed to move on. How could she do this?

There was another man except for Shangguan Mo who felt uncomfortable about this news, Huangfu Yi. He was reviewing the recent reports about Murong Xue from Long Yi and his face grew darker. Long Yi did not know what Huangfu Yi was thinking about and he was told to leave when he felt he had waited long enough to die.

Huangfu Yi thought to himself, "Sister, don't you remember me?"

The closure of the post-incident was followed by freshmen military training.

"Everyone, prepare your own daily necessities and meet at the gate at 1 p.m. We'll head to the troop based in the mountains." The teacher on the platform informed the freshmen.

The teacher's words caused an uproar in the crowd as the military training was usually held on the campus.

"Teacher, really? It has always been done on campus. Why should we go to the mountains this year?"

"Why? Why? We don't want to go to the mountains."

"Oh my, it's scary enough to do the training on the campus, not to mention in the mountains."

"..." However, the order from the university could not be changed no matter how hard the students fought.

"We have to do it in the troops?" Xiaowu sighed with a bitter face. It was not that she was afraid of the training as the five of them all had much worse experiences, but that she could not find delicious snacks there. So she decided to take more snacks.

"Maybe there are too many untamed students from the wealthy and powerful families this year, so the university wants to teach us a lesson at the very beginning. Besides, they won't drop us to the mountains without the permission of the Families in the capital. Parents always want their children to grow up and be mature, so there is the order." Laoda explained to them.

Murong Xue did not think much about this change. In her last life, she had never experienced the military training because Xiao Keli had convinced her to escape it with her family's influence. And she had been at A province until she followed Fang Shihua to the capital without finishing university. So, what she could remember about the capital from her last life were only Fang Shihua's villa and his family's underground warehouse, as well as Fang Shihua and Wu Meili's hypocrisy and the so-called confidant Xiao Keli.

Thinking of these, she was suddenly looking forward to the military training and she also wanted to try the other things she had never experienced before.

Outside the university gate, all the new students gathered together in the hot sun at 1 p.m.

The school bus arrived soon and Murong Xue was on the same bus with the Gang of Five. As the bus was driving all the way to the outskirts, the scenery outside the window became more and more strange to them. Gradually, what on both sides of the road were only dense woods instead of buildings.

After a few hours, the bus finally arrived into the mountains and dropped the students at the troops' base. Thousands of new students scattered around on the training ground in the hot sun.

Just getting off the bus, the new students were complaining about the long drive, the damage the fierce sun would do to their skin, and so on, totally ignoring the training instructors' dark faces.

"Quiet." The officer ordered with a speaker in a serious voice.

Then all the students turned to look at the podium and the instructors there with cold faces.

"Look! There are two handsome instructors."

"Where? Show me!" The girls were pushing forward to the front to find out the handsomest instructors.

"Count backwards from the right side, the second and the third. See? Oh my, they're really handsome."

"Indeed. The instructors are said to have dark skins, so why are they so white?"

"I wish it's they who instruct us."

Because of the two handsome instructors, the discussion grew more violent despite the order and more and more girls were joining the conversation. Murong Xue also saw them, but she did not find them very appealing. She thought they were just ordinary.

Since she had met Huangfu Yi, who was gorgeously handsome, she naturally had higher standards.

The teachers who followed the students there could not bear to see this scene and said, "Everyone, quiet."

By then the voices gradually trailed off.

The director of students spoke after everyone stopped talking, "Although this military training is a little hasty, it's good for you to be self-disciplined and improve your self-management ability. Everyone will be treated as equal in the following week and you will live in the dormitory here. The instructors on the podium will be responsible for the training and we teachers will only supervise the process without interfering. Hope you all get good grades."

Then the instructors went down and divided the students into different teams. The new students were unfamiliar with each other and the training team usually consisted of students from different classes.

Fortunately, Murong Xue was in the same team as the Gang of Five. Murong Xue saw that Xiaosi's face paled when seeing the handsome instructors, but she thought it was caused by the long drive.

"What's wrong, Xiaosi?" Murong Xue asked in a low voice.

Xiaosi only shook her head, bit her lips, and said nothing. Xiaosan next to her, who was pondering, patted Murong Xue's hand and stopped her from asking more.

Confused, Murong Xue stopped asking because she knew there must be a reason and Xiaosi was not in the mood to talk to others. Therefore, she decided to watch for a while after they were dismissed as she was really worried about Xiaosi, who looked dreadful.

The other four were worried about Xiaosi as well, but they knew why she was like this and they thus kept silent. For Xiaosi, it was a scar that never could be healed.

One of the handsome instructors was distributed to their team. This instructor first glanced over at the students with cold eyes and seemed to stop for a second when he saw Xiaosi. His face remained the same, so Murong Xue thought it might be her illusion.

The instructor spoke in a deep voice, "I'm Mo Junshang and I'll be instructing you in the following week. You can call me Mr. Mo. Now, line up and come back here after picking up your uniforms at the front."

Murong Xue really felt that Xiaosi trembled this time. She doubted whether Xiaosi knew Mr. Mo and he probably had something to do with Mo Liufeng since they had the same last name. With these questions in mind, Murong Xue followed the line and picked up the things for the training.

The students came back to the training ground with their uniforms, but they did not stand up straight, many of them talking and laughing.

Murong Xue noticed that Mr. Mo's face became darker and darker, and then she heard his cold voice, "Quiet!" Mr. Mo's voice was loud yet attractive and it brought dead silence immediately after every student heard it.

With a dark and cold face, he spoke, "You're in the army now, and you are raw recruits here the moment you are in the uniform. So I will train you with the requirements in the army, and boys and girls are the same in my eyes. Everyone who breaks the rules will be severely punished. Understand?"
