27: Are you two the ones who led Shen Bei astray?

Liao Zhongyang and Qi Chuanyu watched, dumbfounded, as Shen Bei put on his clothes and leisurely left the second floor.

The two were so shocked they couldn't recover for a long time.

What kind of Prodigy was this, after all?!

Yesterday's rookie, today's sharp transformation into a master.

This was simply too hard to accept, wasn't it?

Liao Zhongyang had always believed he was the Phoenix head of First High School, or at least he thought so yesterday.

But today, after witnessing Shen Bei's Stance Training.

He felt Shen Bei was right; he was just a damn Phoenix tail!

And Qi Chuanyu, full of mischief, at this moment only wanted to stay far away from Shen Bei; at least, he wanted to be a good person in front of Shen Bei.

"This is terrifying! Do you think his teacher, Professor Gu Xinrou, knows about this?"

Liao Zhongyang asked.

Qi Chuanyu stroked his chin, his expression grave: "How would I know? But one thing is clear: Shen Bei's attribute points are definitely not less than 60; they're definitely higher than ours!"

Liao Zhongyang agreed with this statement.

If one had extremely high four-dimensional attributes, the attribute value drop caused by Cultivating alone would be unbearable for ordinary people.

Moreover, Shen Bei performed Stance Training for three hours with ease, completely unlike himself, who was exhausted like a dog after two hours.

At least, this showed that Shen Bei could not have achieved this without ample attribute values.

But the problem was, why had he never heard of Shen Bei before?

"I think we should go ask Teacher Gu Xinrou; perhaps she has a different Cultivating technique."

"Let's go, let's go! If Shen Bei can ask us for tips, so can we!"

Without another word.

The two immediately went downstairs.

Once downstairs, they looked around and finally found where Teacher Gu Xinrou was. The moment they saw her, they were dumbfounded!

They saw.

Professor Gu Xinrou was currently twisting Shen Bei's ear, her face flushed with anger and embarrassment: "Come on, you little scoundrel, say what you just said again!"

Shen Bei grimaced, his face full of defiance as he said: "I was just asking what 'Pink Peony Boiled in Snow' and 'Warm Wave Fragrant Peach' mean. Why are you getting angry, Teacher?"

"Isn't a teacher supposed to transmit knowledge, impart the Dao, and resolve doubts?"

Jian Tong, who was sweating profusely, blinked her eyes, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Shen Bei said.

Why was the teacher so angry?

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow bird's gentle song, as she said: "Yes, Teacher, I don't understand what those two terms mean either. Isn't it normal to explain them?"

Professor Gu Xinrou's face showed alternating expressions of doubt and anger, finally gritting her teeth and saying: "Jian Tong, tomorrow I'm moving your seat. Don't hang out with Shen Bei; you'll easily learn bad things."

"Ah?"

Jian Tong, confused, asked blankly: "Why?"

"Those two terms..." Professor Gu Xinrou gave Shen Bei another hard tug: "Are not good things!"

Shen Bei blurted out: "I won't allow Teacher to belittle herself!"

"Get out of here, you scoundrel!"

Professor Gu Xinrou kicked Shen Bei out of the gymnasium, so angry that her lips parted, and every word that slipped from them was like a cold blade: "Your head is full of dirty thoughts! If you dare to come back and cause trouble, I will definitely deal with you!"

Then, with a bang, she slammed the gymnasium door shut.

Shen Bei stood outside the door, smacked his lips, and chuckled.

"You're talking about me, but you're the one with the dirty mind, Teacher."

Then, Shen Bei hummed a little tune, strolled out of the campus, and headed straight for the Labor Market.

...

Inside the gymnasium.

Liao Zhongyang, seeing this scene, shivered and said incredulously: "Teacher Gu is too overbearing, isn't she? How could she treat a master like that?"

Qi Chuanyu, however, smirked: "It's clear that Teacher Gu has no idea about Shen Bei's true capabilities. And do you know why Teacher Gu is angry?"

"Why?"

"Shen Bei is just too much to my liking!" Qi Chuanyu chuckled a few times: "Although I like to prank, I'm still a good boy."

"But this guy is different; he even dares to flirt with his teacher, a true Devil King of chaos, a role model for our generation!"

Liao Zhongyang didn't understand at all.

And he didn't want to understand.

He only had one thought in his mind: to ask Teacher Gu Xinrou why Shen Bei had improved so rapidly, and if there were any little tricks.

The two approached.

They could still hear Jian Tong muttering: "What do those two terms mean, anyway?"

Qi Chuanyu had an impression of Jian Tong; she was the school beauty of First High School.

But compared to Yu Qiuyi... she was still a little lacking.

"Hello, Teacher Gu."

Although Liao Zhongyang was burly at this moment, his simple smile gave people a sense of friendliness.

Professor Gu Xinrou smiled and nodded: "I know you. You're from Class Ten... Class Ten's... who was it again?"

Liao Zhongyang: ...

If you can't remember, don't try to remember.

This is so awkward!

"My name is—" Liao Zhongyang was about to state his name.

Professor Gu Xinrou, with a stubborn streak, interrupted: "Don't speak yet; I'm sure I can remember."

"I remember!" Professor Gu Xinrou smiled knowingly: "Big Dummy, right?"

"Who gave me that nickname?!" Liao Zhongyang's face turned red with anger.

"Your homeroom teacher."

"Oh, then it's fine."

"What do you two need me for?" Professor Gu Xinrou asked.

Qi Chuanyu spoke first: "It's like this, Shen Bei is your student, isn't he?"

Professor Gu Xinrou's expression paused.

Why were they bringing up Shen Bei?

Could it be that this guy had caused trouble again?

Professor Gu Xinrou knew a little about the two of them.

One of them had a Five-Rank Martial Artist in their family.

The other's entire family consisted of Martial Artists; they were just waiting for this Martial Arts Exam to complete their 'family bucket.'

But even though Professor Gu Xinrou usually twisted Shen Bei's ear, she was still extremely protective of her students.

Professor Gu Xinrou immediately put on an arrogant and cold demeanor, her tone scornful: "I don't care what conflict you two had."

"But my student, Shen Bei, is an honest and diligent student, excellent in both character and academics, praised by everyone."

"It must be that you two made a mistake first! Please reflect on your mistakes, and write a self-criticism letter for me, no less than ten thousand words! If it's one word short, I'll find your homeroom teacher!"

Qi Chuanyu: ...

Liao Zhongyang: ...

Upon hearing this, the two felt that snow in June was not just a legend.

What was all this about?!

Liao Zhongyang almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

And Qi Chuanyu, holding his forehead, said quite helplessly: "Teacher Gu, we didn't have any conflict with Shen Bei. On the contrary, he was asking us for advice."

"What?!"

Professor Gu Xinrou immediately exploded with anger: "I knew this guy was secretly Cultivating. So you two taught him?"

"You two are too wicked, aren't you? Knowing Shen Bei's low attribute values, isn't that setting him up for failure? Is that how your teachers taught you to be?"

"Didn't you learn in your first lesson: 'To become a Martial Artist, one must first learn to be human; if the heart is worm-eaten, heaven and earth cannot tolerate it'?"

Holy cow... This ability to turn the tables, was she really a teacher? Qi Chuanyu felt that he was truly outclassed.

"No..." Qi Chuanyu explained with extreme seriousness: "We didn't teach Shen Bei how to Cultivate; he practiced it himself."

Liao Zhongyang nodded: "This is too unfair."

Professor Gu Xinrou snorted: "Fine, fine, you're all adults. If Shen Bei decides to Cultivate himself, there's nothing I can do. Tell me, what do you need me for?"

Liao Zhongyang spoke in a booming voice, saying:

"We want to know if Teacher Gu guided Shen Bei, allowing him to improve so rapidly. Yesterday he couldn't even do Stance Training, nor did he know how to control blood flow with his breath, yet today he can do Stance Training for three hours. Does Teacher Gu have some secret method? Please, enlighten us."

"Yes, yes." Qi Chuanyu chimed in: "Although you're not our homeroom teacher, we're all students of First High School."

At this moment, Professor Gu Xinrou's clear eyes were full of surprise, and her heart rippled.

She was completely stunned!
