Chapter 62: Teacher, she touched me

Lan Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to leave so he continued sitting there with his coffee. How could he let Lan Xuanyu join the military? What would happen if he does?

Firstly, for one to join the military, one would have to go through a stringent family background and personal background check. And how was Lan Xuanyu born? Could he get past the investigation? The answer was a ‘no’ for sure.

He found someone to fabricate Lan Xuanyu’s birth records! This was a child born out of an egg! Hence, he would not allow Lan Xuanyu to join the military no matter what. He only wanted his son to be healthy and safe right now and that was enough.

“Lan Xuanyu!”

Hearing this voice coming from behind him, Lan Xuanyu didn’t even slow down and his face fell.

“What are you doing? Do you have any manners? I was calling you.” Ye Lingtong caught up to him in a few steps.

Listening to the displeasure in her tone, Lan Xuanyu said angrily, “Have you had enough, huh! You’re from Class One and I am from Class two, why do you keep finding trouble with me, huh? Am I very easy to bully?”

Ye Lingtong was exasperated. “Do you hate me that much?”

Lan Xuanyu stopped in his tracks and looked at her. “If I bullied you each time I see you, would you hate me? You’re like that.” After speaking, he turned around and left.

Ye Lingtong was stunned by what he said but it turned to rage very quickly and she yelled at his back. “I bullied you? The one getting hurt each time is me! How did I bully you? Are you shameless? Lan Xuanyu, just you wait! I’ll see you at the elite junior class!”

Lan Xuanyu was slightly glum. It was this way every time he bumped into Ye Lingtong but the school is only so big and there were only a couple of classes for first graders; it wasn’t easy to avoid her. Those few months, when she wasn’t around, was very peaceful and he had much less trouble. He wasn’t afraid of Ye Lingtong but he only felt that she was troublesome.

Qiu Yuxin arrived early and a smile naturally appeared on her face when she saw Lan Xuanyu.

“Good morning, Teacher Qiu,” Lan Xuanyu greeted her respectfully.

Qiu Yuxin then said, “How was your preparation over the break?”

Lan Xuanyu smiled. “It was quite good. Teacher Qiu, I’m rank 14 already,”

“Great, great!” Lan Xuanyu’s spirit wasn’t ranking up very quickly and was relatively slower than others’ innate full spirit bodies, but at least it’s getting better — this was a good sign. Furthermore, this child’s overall quality couldn’t be measured only by his Spirit Power.

“You don’t have to attend the new school year ceremony later. The examiner of Heaven Luo Academy will be coming today and I’ll bring you over later.”

“Oh, alright.” Lan Xuanyu agreed. He wasn’t nervous though, it was just an assessment and he was quite confident with himself.

If he didn’t have Teacher Nana, that incident at the Horizon Building would have cast a shadow in his heart for sure, it could even make him timid. His teacher appeared at the right time and not only did she save the mother and son, she also left an indelible impression on him.

Especially that scene when she defeated the battleship was deeply ingrained in his head. He would always think, ‘I am Teacher Nana’s disciple. She is so strong and I will become very strong too.’

Hence, he wasn’t cowardly but he’s now much more confident instead.

Moreover, self-confidence comes from hard work. He felt that there probably weren’t any other classmates who worked harder than he did during the holidays.

Very soon, all the students arrived and the new school year ceremony began. Qiu Yuxin waved at him and brought him out of the class.

The moment he left the classroom, Lan Xuanyu saw the frosty Ye Lingtong. It was without a doubt that Ye Lingtong came out to represent Class One.

The two of them made eye contact and turned their heads away at the same time.

Gong Yinghao and Qiu Yuxin both looked at one another too; Qiu Yuxin was smiling widely while Gong Yinghao had knitted brows. He still had a shadow in his heart after Lan Xuanyu defeated Ye Lingtong previously.

If Ye Lingtong was outstanding, then this Lan Xuanyu was somewhat demonic. By his looks, he shouldn’t be stronger than Ye Lingtong but Ye Lingtong was always defeated by him and Gong Yinghao was very certain that she did not pull her punches.

“Teacher Qiu.” Gong Yinghao greeted Qiu Yuxin.

“Teacher Gong,” Qiu Yuxin replied with a smile.

“Shall we?” Gong Yinghao gestured.

“Sure!”

Both teachers walked ahead while Lan Xuanyu and Ye Lingtong followed behind.

“You’re dead meat.” Ye Lingtong didn’t say it out loud as she merely mouthed the words to threaten Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu pursed his lips and pretended that he didn’t see anything. Ye Lingtong felt her hand itching each time she saw this chap and she was about to reach out to grab him but Lan Xuanyu moved his feet slightly and dodged it.

“Teacher Qiu, Ye Lingtong touched me.” Lan Xuanyu called out suddenly.

Qiu Yuxin and Gong Yinghao looked back in shock and saw that Ye Lingtong’s hand was still in midair as Lan Xuanyu looked at Qiu Yuxin with a face of grievance.

Gong Yinghao couldn’t help it and said, “Lingtong, what are you doing?”

“Teacher Gong, I…” Ye Lingtong wanted to explain but she realized that she could not because of the fact was that she really wanted to grab him! However, this chap actually told the teacher! Is he that shameless?

Qiu Yuxin turned to Lan Xuanyu and said, “Let her touch you then, no big deal, you’re a boy, what are you afraid of? Don’t make a fuss.” Although this was what she said, she pulled Lan Xuanyu to her side and continued walking with her hands around his shoulders.

Ye Lingtong almost cried.

Gong Yinghao’s mouth twitched and he really wanted to shout. Qiu Yuxin, I’ll go all out with you. Cutting flesh with a blunt knife hurts the most!

He hasn’t won any matches between the two classes ever since Lan Xuanyu arrived.

Gymnasium!

The school’s gymnasium was very spacious and the grandstand could accommodate 2,000 spectators at the same time.

The gymnasium in a Spirit School was different from an ordinary school. There was a special defense Soul Guidance device in the middle of the gymnasium and it was similar to a martial arts stage. It also had various types of equipment and lightings. Generally speaking, the actual combat matches, especially for the students in higher grades, would be held here.

And at this moment, there were already more than a dozen various devices placed on one side of the gymnasium and a few people were still busy.

Other than Qiu Yuxin and Gong Yinghao, there were a couple of teachers who brought their own students there. The rest were third graders except for Lan Xuanyu and Ye Lingtong who’s in the second grade.

The Zi Luo branch allowed ten people to register for the elite junior class but this didn’t mean that all ten people would be enrolled — it would still depend on their abilities. So after the school had discussed, they would naturally choose candidates who had high inner quality and who were well-rounded.

Initially, they planned to choose only third-graders; it was Qiu Yuxin and Gong Yinghao who stood up for Lan Xuanyu and Ye Lingtong so they could participate in this assessment.

Age was certainly an advantage but at the same time, talent was still important. Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu was eight years old — the same age as third graders. He didn’t have an advantage in this aspect but Qiu Yuxin was still very confident in him. ‘Putting everything else aside, our Xuanyu is so good looking! First impressions are the strongest and it’s already a win for us.’

A middle-aged man with a smile walked towards the front and said to all the teachers, “Teachers may leave the gymnasium first, leave the children to us.”
