Chapter 145: Inner Campus (Extra Chapter for Alliance Master ‘Open Door Delivery’) (Fifth Update)
by Sunflower“Her name is Lin Chuyu, you have such a bad memory. But then again, I haven’t seen a photo of her, so I’ll reserve judgment on whether she’s a beauty.”
“Get out of here, she doesn’t need your evaluation.”
Rhine and the others chatted and laughed as they walked.
“Right, right!”
Zhang Yi responded with a chuckle.
Su Ming listened to their discussion, his expression a little strange, but he didn’t join Rhine’s topic. Instead, he led them towards the inner campus entrance.
Not long after, Su Ming and his group arrived at the inner campus gate.
The inner campus gate was composed of two iron bar gates, each a hundred meters high, with a circular beast statue featuring a lion’s body and a dragon’s head embedded in each gate.
These two iron bar gates were usually closed, with only the small side gate open.
But tonight, the inner campus gate was completely open, which showed how much Royal Court Academy valued this league.
At this moment, two figures stood by the inner campus gate. One of them was Lin Chuyu, wearing a white lace long dress with her white hair draped over her shoulders.
Beside Lin Chuyu stood a beautiful young woman with ice-blue long hair, the ends slightly curled inward, accentuating her delicate face. Her eyes were as deep blue as a lake, her skin as fair as snow, and a blue form-fitting long dress perfectly highlighted her tall and impressive figure.
“Class monitor, quick, look by the gate! There are two beautiful girls standing there. And they seem to be looking at us. Could they be here specifically to welcome us?”
Zhang Yi exclaimed excitedly when he saw Lin Chuyu and the other girl.
“Alright, stop being so narcissistic.”
Rhine, however, was quite self-aware.
Just then, Lin Chuyu saw Su Ming and raised her hand to wave at him.
“Look, she’s waving at us! I told you she must be here to welcome us.”
Zhang Yi said, overcome with excitement.
Rhine and the others were also a bit dumbfounded. What was going on? Could it really be as Zhang Yi said?
“Zhang Yi is right, that’s my friend. She’s here specifically to lead the way for us.”
Su Ming sighed and said to Rhine and the others.
“Oh my, class monitor, your friend is a girl!”
Zhang Yi and the others became even more excited.
Su Ming was too lazy to scold them. He led his classmates to Lin Chuyu and then introduced her to everyone.
“Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Lin Chuyu. Chu Yu, these are my classmates.”
“Lin Chuyu?”
Rhine and the others’ expressions became even more spectacular.
“Hello, everyone.”
Lin Chuyu greeted them politely.
Rhine and the others immediately became very reserved, completely losing their previous casual demeanor from when they were chatting and laughing. Each of them replied very earnestly.
“Hello!”
Lin Chuyu smiled slightly at everyone, then introduced her to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, this is my best friend, An Ruoxue. Ruoxue, this is Su Ming, whom I often mention to you.”
“Hello!”
Su Ming extended his hand to An Ruoxue.
“Hello.”
An Ruoxue extended her fair hand and shook Su Ming’s hand politely.
After Su Ming retracted his hand, he said to Lin Chuyu.
“Chu Yu, we need to go to the auditorium, but we haven’t been to the inner campus before. Would you mind leading the way?”
“No problem, follow us.”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue turned and led them further inside.
At this moment, Rhine and a few others gathered around Su Ming, looking very excited, and whispered to him.
“Class monitor, you already have Lin Chuyu. Could you introduce us to that beauty beside her?”
“Yeah, class monitor, help us get her contact information. Look how pitiful we all are, single.”
“You guys?”
Su Ming looked at them helplessly.
“Please help us! This concerns the happiness of our entire lives!”
Rhine and the others said excitedly.
“Alright, I’ll try to get it if there’s a chance.”
Su Ming replied with a helpless sigh.
“The class monitor is still the best!”
Rhine and the others were all so happy they couldn’t stop smiling.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu saw that Su Ming and his group hadn’t caught up for a while, so she turned her head and called out.
“Su Ming, hurry up and catch up.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming led Rhine and the others to catch up.
Soon, they entered the inner campus, but before they had gone far, everyone was awestruck by the sight before them. Both sides of the main road in the inner campus were lined with towering jacaranda trees, their branches heavily laden with purple flowers. Under the illumination of the streetlights, they appeared exceptionally beautiful.
The open areas on both sides were entirely covered with lawns and blooming flowers.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
“Yes! It feels like entering a purple world.”
Rhine and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Su Ming also praised from the bottom of his heart.
“Even more stunning than the maple forest in the cemetery!”
At this moment, Lin Chuyu saw everyone’s surprise and explained to them.
“Jacaranda, a deciduous tree of the Bignoniaceae family, with purplish flowers. Its flower language represents tranquility, profundity, and melancholy.”
“Oh, this tree is called Jacaranda!”
Su Ming nodded in response.
“Yes! It also has another flower language, symbolizing love waiting in despair, full of anticipation and longing for love, and it’s Chu Yu’s favorite flower tree.”
At this moment, An Ruoxue, who had been silent, put her hands behind her back and playfully winked at Lin Chuyu.
“Ahem, let’s look at something else.”
Lin Chuyu then proceeded to introduce the buildings they passed along the way to Su Ming and the others.
“Do you see that building ahead, constructed from large white stones, with many divine patterns carved on its surface, resembling a temple?”
“We see it, it’s very unique.”
Su Ming and the others gazed curiously.
“That’s our library. It’s said to have been built before the old era and has existed for thousands of years.”
Lin Chuyu introduced it in great detail.
Su Ming and the others listened intently, as if they were back on the day of their enrollment.
“May I ask, what are those charming little Western-style houses with gardens ahead?”
An Qi and the others asked curiously.
“That’s the dormitory area. We usually live there.”
Lin Chuyu briefly introduced.
“Ah? Those are your dorms? How many people live in one room?”
Elu and the others asked in surprise.
“We usually have four people living in one building, and each person has their own private room. Of course, if you’re not used to it, you can apply to live alone.”
Lin Chuyu introduced with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming and the others all fell silent, exchanging glances without a word.
Lin Chuyu was also very puzzled; they had been fine just a moment ago, but suddenly everyone stopped talking.
However, she didn’t say much, only leading everyone towards the grand auditorium.
A moment later, Su Ming and the others arrived at the central area of the inner campus. They were met with a colossal ancient building, its roof adorned with numerous glazed spires, and its surface carved with various mythological reliefs.
At the same time, crimson ribbons hung down from above, and on either side of the auditorium entrance stood two gigantic humanoid stone statues, fifty meters tall. The left statue held a book, gazing up at the starry sky, while the right statue pressed its hands on a massive sword plunged into the ground.
“That’s the grand auditorium.”
Lin Chuyu introduced to Su Ming and the others.
At this moment, many students could be seen walking inside in groups.
“No, even though this grand auditorium looks very impressive, it’s still an ancient building. Do we really have a meeting inside? Is it safe?”
Rhine and the others asked worriedly.
“You don’t need to worry. This grand auditorium has been renovated internally. Although it largely retains its original features, it’s fully equipped with various technological devices, so there’s absolutely no problem. Let’s hurry inside; maybe we can get seats closer to the front.”
Lin Chuyu explained patiently.
After listening, Su Ming waved his hand and said to Rhine and the others.
“Let’s go, hurry inside.”
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others immediately quickened their pace, following Lin Chuyu and her group forward.
Soon, they arrived in front of the grand auditorium and followed the crowd inside.
As they stepped through the thick doors and entered the interior, their vision immediately opened up.
The interior of this grand auditorium had a ceiling height of a full fifty meters, covered with numerous skylights made of glazed tiles. Red ribbons with ancient patterns imprinted on them hung down from the surrounding walls.
In addition, the entire grand auditorium adopted a tiered layout, with all fixed chairs arranged one level higher than the last. The seats closer to the entrance were higher, requiring ascent via stairs on either side.
As for the innermost part of the grand auditorium, it was a circular podium.
At this moment, nearly half of the chairs in the entire grand auditorium were already filled with students, making it very lively.
“Let’s go inside and see if we can find good seats.”
Lin Chuyu led Su Ming and the others continuously inward.
Soon, they found a row of empty seats in the fifth row, so they walked over and took their places.
Rhine and the others originally wanted to sit next to An Ruoxue, but unfortunately, An Ruoxue chose to sit on a chair by the aisle, while Lin Chuyu sat next to her, also next to Su Ming.
