27: Chapter 27 Kill and eat? Take them in as thugs

Of the full day of classes, Wang Chunfa only taught in the morning; by the afternoon, his mind wasn't in it.

"You all study on your own. Teacher has some things to take care of."

After saying this, Wang Chunfa strode out of the classroom and headed straight for the office building, his purpose very clear: to find Instructor Liu Jun.

"Old Liu, Old Liu! Stop drinking!"

As soon as he entered the office, Wang Chunfa saw Instructor Liu Jun leisurely drinking tea and couldn't help but snatch the teacup right out of his hand.

This action left Instructor Liu Jun quite helpless. "What's wrong, Grade Director Wang? What is so urgent that you've come looking for me in such a rush?"

"If you think the teaching methods need some changes, you need to go get the Principal's approval, not mine."

Wang Chunfa choked on his words upon hearing this. "No, no!"

"It's about the Class Competition in half a month. Can your Fire-Treading Tiger follow them into that back mountain?"

Instructor Liu Jun: ?

In an instant, the previously calm Instructor Liu Jun became incredibly serious. He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Wang Chunfa, trying to detect something unusual.

But the result told him that Wang Chunfa was not being controlled by a mental-type spirit beast, and this answer made Instructor Liu Jun's brow furrow even deeper, his heart growing more puzzled.

"Since you're fine, you should be talking to the Principal about this. I don't have the authority to do that. But I am curious, what happened to make you so flustered?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunfa realized he had been worried sick and lost his composure. He immediately recounted the entire matter regarding the Class Competition agreement.

Who would have thought that Instructor Liu Jun, who had been frowning, would change his expression after hearing Wang Chunfa's words—first surprised, then stunned, and then, a little curious.

This series of changes made Wang Chunfa feel inexplicably stifled, and he looked at Instructor Liu Jun as if he had seen a ghost.

"No, what are you curious about? What do you want to see? You've been a Spirit Realm scout; you can't have become like those heartless people, right?"

Hearing this, a flash of killing intent crossed Instructor Liu Jun's eyes. He shot a glare at Wang Chunfa and snorted coldly.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Am I that despicable?"

"You have no idea what Qin Ding's combat strength is like compared to others in the same grade. You are completely overthinking it. Beast Taming Class 3, that pair of brothers with the surname Zhou, do you know them?"

Beast Taming Class 3, the brothers with the surname Zhou?

Wang Chunfa blinked, his mind starting to recall, "Zhou Chang and Zhou Shen?"

"Correct. After Li Dong went to Class 3, he paid a price to bribe these two to deal with Qin Ding. However, these two have some other ideas, and now, Bai Muxue has jumped into the mix."

Wang Chunfa: ???

Looking at Wang Chunfa's visible shock and terror, a trace of satisfaction flashed through Instructor Liu Jun's heart. Letting you rush over to mess with me, now you can't handle it, right?

Without waiting for Wang Chunfa to speak, Instructor Liu Jun continued, "But they all underestimate that kid Qin Ding. Qin Ding's Black Dog is a high level; it must have been raised for quite a while. I estimate that by the time of the Class Competition, it might reach level eleven!"

The words Wang Chunfa had been about to say were choked off in his throat. It took him a while to digest this before he looked at Instructor Liu Jun in realization.

"Level eleven! Unless the families of those three—Li Dong and the others—spend a fortune, they can't even dream of targeting Qin Ding and Bai Muxue. They wouldn't even be able to defeat Qin Ding's beast!"

"Good for you! You knew all this, and you were just watching me make a fool of myself!"

Once these words were out, Instructor Liu Jun nodded seriously, leaving Wang Chunfa dumbfounded.

"No, you should be worried, but you're worried about the wrong things. You shouldn't be worried about Qin Ding and Bai Muxue. With that couple, it's not just two against three; two against four is not impossible."

"What you should be worried about is Li Dong and the Zhou brothers—worrying about whether those three will be killed by Qin Ding in the mountains."

Wang Chunfa: ?!

"Why do you say that?"

"Why do I say that? Heh, it seems the tea in my cup is finished."

Wang Chunfa: ...

Beast Taming Class 1.

Once Wang Chunfa left, it was for several hours. The time had already reached five in the afternoon, and there were only a few minutes left until school was over.

Bai Muxue, sitting in the front row, saw that Wang Chunfa still hadn't returned. A look of contemplation flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly stood up and walked toward Wan Kang.

No one said anything about this; just going down to talk to someone else was a perfectly normal thing.

But when Bai Muxue didn't walk toward Qin Ding, but instead toward Wan Kang, everyone in the classroom froze. They adjusted their states quickly, their eyes burning, as if they wanted to see something different.

"Uh? Hm? Bai Muxue?"

Wan Kang, who was pondering how to speak to Qin Ding after class, suddenly smelled a cold fragrance. He turned his head and found Bai Muxue standing in the aisle beside him, looking down at him.

Bai Muxue didn't speak; she just handed a note to Wan Kang, on which was written a sentence that left Wan Kang dumbfounded.

[Class Competition, you want to follow Qin Ding and get the prize money?]

After reading it, Wan Kang quickly crumpled the paper into a ball. He looked with extreme terror at Bai Muxue, who was looking down at him with a face that seemed to carry frost, and his throat moved involuntarily.

No, how did she know? Did she guess? Was he that obvious? And this thing, didn't seven people receive it? Why would she guess in this direction?

Although she didn't get a verbal answer, seeing Wan Kang's expression, Bai Muxue knew she had guessed correctly, and she just nodded slightly.

"I agree. You can, but you must be obedient."

Wan Kang: ...?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something questioning, but thinking of the relationship between these two—which anyone with eyes could see but no one pointed out—Wan Kang chose silence and nodded silently.

Indicating that he could be obedient during the Class Competition.

After all, that was what he had thought from the beginning; being able to participate in the Class Competition with capable people would certainly greatly increase the chances of getting the prize money, and that was for surviving in the mountains for three days.

If they teamed up, the safety factor would definitely increase a lot.

One must know that the agreement only guaranteed that the school would not return students in a state of death or disability, but it didn't say anything about them not being disabled before they were returned!

Because the school's School Doctor beast could treat injuries for students with low strength like them with ease, leaving not even a trace.

After confirming, Bai Muxue didn't stay long. Instead, she walked to Qin Ding, who was cultivating, slowly leaned down, and stared unblinkingly at Qin Ding, who was cultivating with his eyes closed.

Unaccountably, a sense of playfulness struck her. She extended her index finger and thumb, carefully pinched the soft flesh on one side of Qin Ding's cheek, and shook it slightly.

"Qin Ding, Qin Ding? Wake up."

"Hm? Mu Xue, is class over?"

"Yes, let's go home."

Without suspecting anything, Qin Ding got up to leave. Seeing the entire classroom of students sitting motionless in their seats watching the two of them, Qin Ding raised an eyebrow.

Class is over and not a single person has left? That's strange today.

Thus, the rest of the class watched the two of them leave the classroom one after the other as if they had seen a ghost.

After a while, a tone filled with a bit of envy rang out in the classroom.

"Is this the treatment that the top scholars in both academics and martial arts can get? Being able to skip class openly?"
