Chapter 182 - Transfer Student Xu Xiaoyan (1/2)

Xu Xiaoyan hastened after Wu Zhangkong.

Long Hengxu's gaze followed their departure as his lips quirked up at the edges. Not for a second did he think Wu Zhangkong's behavior to be unreasonable or irritable. “That guy, he really cares about cla.s.s zero! He wouldn't submit otherwise. This is good. It's good that he cares since it'll motivate him to give his best effort. I'm looking forward to the results!”

He sat down and quickly dialed a number on his soul communicator.

“h.e.l.lo, President. So, I have an idea. This past semester, we poured our resources into cla.s.s zero, yet ever since the two students left, the board of directors has been questioning your decision, correct? I believe it's time to display cla.s.s zero's strength while also determining whether to continue supporting this endeavor or not. What do you think?”

Long Hengxu listened to the other line and nodded. “Right, that's exactly what I was thinking. We'll have them go. While I'm unsure of how it'll develop, they're still young, so it should be fine so long as they achieve decent results and garner some prestige for our academy. This way, everyone will note the superiority of our academy's teachers. Once they realize this, won't even more geniuses apply to our school?”

“Yes, yes. I'll start making the arrangements.”

☀

As Xu Xiaoyan followed behind Wu Zhangkong, her sparkling eyes took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Her previous school had been an ordinary one, and since her family excessively doted on her, her life was devoid of any hards.h.i.+ps.

It was the mutation in her martial soul that led her onto this path.

She had originally set on this path unwillingly, but after meeting Wu Zhangkong, her rejection rapidly diminished.

Handsome! Teacher Wu is so cool and good-looking. Her heart hammered inside her chest.

The next moment, however, she remembered her cla.s.smates whom she had investigated after meeting them once before when they had pummeled her brother. Big brother was careless, but they were still so strong! Brother couldn't even struggle against that girl who's only a bit older than me!

Unfortunately for Xu Xiaoyu, he was unaware of Xu Xiaoyan's thoughts, or else he would have choked to death.

“This is your dorm room,” Wu Zhangkong said as he opened the door and entered.

Xu Xiaoyan followed him inside, only to be shocked by the sight of the single bed. It seemed almost too good to be true.

What kind of student dorm has such nice conditions? I was given special treatment before, but I still had a roommate!

“Remember, everything you receive is because you're currently in cla.s.s zero, but you still have one month to prove yourself.” Wu Zhangkong turned on his heel and exited the room.

Left behind, Xu Xiaoyan eyed the room doubtfully, but a smile soon appeared on her charming face.

“It looks like I really need to do my best. I have a handsome teacher and strong cla.s.smates. Things are going to be fun. Huh, what's this? Why's there a hole in the wall?”

After she caught sight of the depression in the wall of her new room, Xu Xiaoyan got onto her stomach to peep through it and saw another room on the other side.

“Where does this lead?” she mumbled to herself. She took a cloth and cautiously covered the hole, fearing any peeping toms on the other side.

Bang bang bang!

She gave a startled jump at the violent knocking and quickly went to open her door, thinking someone was outside.

But when she stuck her head out, there was no one there. Instead, she saw a familiar figure rapping on the door of the room beside hers.

He was a delicately handsome boy who carried himself with a slight aura of coldness. “Wulin, are you back yet? Jeez, he always appears and disappears in a flash.”

It's him! Xu Xiaoyan could immediately identify the boy. Isn't he the dagger-wielding boy?

“Hey, there's no one in there,” Xu Xiaoyan said.

“Who are you, and why are you here?” Enough time had pa.s.sed since their last encounter that together with her weak presence, Xie Xie didn't recognize Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan snorted. “Why can't I be here? You're in cla.s.s zero, right?”

Xie Xie nodded.

“I'm going to be a student in cla.s.s zero too. Remember this, my name is Xu Xiaoyan.” Away from Wu Zhangkong, the timid girl from before transformed into a pretty, little tyrant.

“I'm Xie Xie.” No different from any other boy, Xie Xie was drawn to pretty girls.

“Thank you?” Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly at him.

With some annoyance, Xie Xie said, “The second 'Xie' is the one used to write 'chance encounter'. That's my name.”

“Pft.” Xu Xiaoyan snickered. “Your name is really meaningful. Please take care of me in the future.”
