99: Chapter 99 Just give me the stuff.

Cui Yan searched for Qin Ding among the crowd in the classroom, and Bai Muxue also looked over the moment the other party entered the classroom.

However, Bai Muxue only gave a cursory glance, clearly unable to muster any interest.

"Is this the transfer student from Tianshui City? So pretty? It's a pity she has short hair."

"What's wrong with short hair? Doesn't it make her look more youthful, energetic, and neat! Her figure and appearance aren't bad at all!"

"Can you boys stop talking about these topics all day long? Why don't you look in the mirror to see what you look like before commenting on other people's looks and figures?"

The whispers had barely started before they were cut off by a cold, sharp retort from a female classmate, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

Wang Chunfa stood quietly on the podium, watching the farce below stop. Only when it was completely quiet did he speak up to make introductions.

"This is Cui Yan, who has come from Tianshui City. She will be studying with everyone this semester. I hope you all get along and don't cause any trouble."

After finishing his words, he turned to Cui Yan, about to give her a few instructions, but he suddenly paused, curious to follow Cui Yan's almost frozen gaze.

Immediately after, he saw Qin Ding in the back row, sitting quietly with his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to everything around him.

"..."

Wang Chunfa's throat moved as he swallowed the words he was about to say. A trace of knowing helplessness swept through his heart. Without saying more, he stuffed a stack of new books into Cui Yan's hands.

"Cui Yan, find an empty seat and sit down first."

Feeling helpless inside, Wang Chunfa forcibly interrupted Cui Yan.

Her gaze interrupted by the books suddenly handed to her, Cui Yan woke up as if from a dream. A flash of embarrassment quickly crossed her cheeks, and she hurriedly took the books.

"Tha, thank you, teacher."

She did not walk towards the area near Qin Ding, but instead chose to sit in the furthest corner.

"No wonder Qin Ding's Mental Energy improves so quickly; it turns out he Cultivates during class..."

Thinking of Qin Ding's combat performance in the Spirit Realm, a touch of longing couldn't help but arise in Cui Yan's heart.

That's right, she planned to emulate Qin Ding and Cultivate during class, striving to reach Tier 2 Mental Power before the school competition, so as not to hold Qin Ding back when the time came.

In Cui Yan's eyes, for the school competition among the twelve high schools in Chang City, each school would send three people. Qin Ding would definitely be one of them, and she was quite confident that she would be selected as well.

So what she needed to do now was to increase her chances of winning, so she wouldn't get beaten down by people from other schools in the singles tournament.

After sitting down, Cui Yan looked up at the blackboard and immediately began to Cultivate.

A few minutes later.

The silence was broken by three light, distinct knocks on the desk.

Cui Yan opened her eyes abruptly, her brows instinctively furrowing. When she saw who it was, that impatience instantly turned into astonishment.

Wang Chunfa stood expressionless in the aisle, withdrawing his hand from knocking on the desk.

"Cui Yan, are you not feeling well?"

The conversation between adults, both understood each other.

Cui Yan was at a loss for how to respond for a moment. Wang Chunfa looked at her bewildered expression, and the helplessness in his heart deepened a bit more, thinking that it was Qin Ding Cultivating in class that had led this new transfer student astray.

He had initially thought the two knew each other, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Cui Yan's brows did not unfurrow; instead, a sense of injustice rose in her heart, and she blurted out without any concealment.

"Teacher, why can other students... rest during class?"

"Beat him."

Wang Chunfa answered very crisply, his tone also very calm, as if he were stating a not-so-important fact.

"Wha, what?"

Cui Yan thought she had misheard, her eyes gradually widening in shock.

"Beat him."

Wang Chunfa repeated it without changing his expression, his tone as flat as if he were stating a formula.

Cui Yan's lips moved. She suddenly understood, and all the confusion and unwillingness in her heart settled down at this moment.

Changcheng No. 11 High School was carving out a special path for Qin Ding, simply because he was the strongest one here, and therefore enjoyed special privileges.

But she was not; even though she came from Tianshui City and was a transfer student from a Tier 2 city, in the teacher's eyes, she still did not deserve the same treatment.

Her silence was taken in by Wang Chunfa. This reaction actually surprised him a bit. Which of the previous transfer students wasn't arrogant? How come this one looked like a wilted eggplant?

"I understand, teacher." Cui Yan took one last look at Qin Ding, who was still Cultivating, and withdrew her gaze.

Wang Chunfa nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

"Strange, in this situation, shouldn't she be acting on impulse? Why is she so wilted?"

To be honest, Wang Chunfa's personal impression of transfer students had always been quite average, or even bad, because this wasn't the first time he had taught transfer students; Changcheng No. 11 High School had had them in previous years too.

But this time, this one actually surprised him a bit.

Wang Chunfa turned and walked back to the podium, glancing thoughtfully at Qin Ding on the way. The girl's reaction made him doubt once again whether the two knew each other.

"Hey, hey, Xu Hai, what do you think the strength of this transfer student's beast is?"

"We're in class, Wan Kang, don't get distracted, or the teacher will come down to find us later."

Seeing Cui Yan stopped from Cultivating in class, Wan Kang couldn't help but nudge Xu Hai with his elbow. However, after receiving the response to pay attention in class, Wan Kang curled his lips.

If he could actually study well, he wouldn't be raising pigs. His liberal arts grades were indeed higher than Qin Ding's, but not by much; he was at the lower-middle level of the class.

His grades were the kind that were just barely enough.

"Why do I feel like this Cui Yan knows Qin Ding? She was looking around as soon as she entered the classroom, and after seeing Qin Ding, her eyes didn't move. It doesn't make sense if they don't know each other, right?"

The class ended quickly. As Wang Chunfa left the classroom, Cui Yan closed her books and walked straight towards Qin Ding's seat.

"Whoa! What did I say! They know each other!"

Xu Hai speechlessly pressed down on Wan Kang's hand and signaled to Wan Kang in a certain direction.

"Hiss... doesn't seem right?"

Seeing Bai Muxue get up almost simultaneously, Wan Kang hesitated, his inner confusion growing very large.

Qin Ding... completely incapable, he had never even had any behavior of picking up girls, so how did he know and attract this transfer student?

Unlike the curiosity and schadenfreude of the rest of the class, Wan Kang's mind was filled only with questions he couldn't understand.

At this time, Cui Yan had already walked to Qin Ding's desk.

She looked at the cold, aloof girl who had blocked the way in front of Qin Ding one step ahead, her eyes flickering slightly, and her tone carried a hint of probing and curiosity.

"Hmm? Who are you?"

Bai Muxue's expression was calm; she reached out a hand towards her, her voice devoid of emotion.

"The thing you agreed on with him, just give it to me. Don't disturb him."

"That Commander Rank spirit item."
