Chapter 70: Challenge

“I don’t know if you’ll get it, but there is one thing I’m sure about, if you guys somehow get caught by that demon, you’ll suffer big time for sure!”

Bai Yunxian’s expression turned gloomy when he heard the guys mention the person this way, as he squinted his eyes to mock them.

“If you guys didn’t behave like rascals and listened to him obediently, he wouldn’t use disciplinary actions over you people! Don’t accuse someone for wrong doing when you were the one to make mistakes.”

The guys who saw Bai Yunxian defend that big demon were like, “…”

“No, hey bro! What do you mean by “he wouldn’t wrong us?”

“The nickname of the Academy’s ’Demon Instructor’ isn’t given to him in vain! He lives up to that reputation of his!”

“Only that you haven’t yet taken a course from him yet, wait until the third semester, and you’ll get to know what hell looks like!”

“Not only does he nitpick on students, he would make them work like hell!”

“I heard from senior students that he looks very gruesome and ugly that he covers his face with a mask.”

“I also heard a top secret piece of information on him. Apparently, he seemed to have an interest in pretty boys! As to how I define this beauty… ah! He likes pretty and delicate boys that have a character and personality like our boy, Yunxian!”

!!!

The words and finger pointed at Bai Yunxian made him feel both astonished and afraid at the same time, which made him feel anxious all of a sudden.

No way! Is that true?

I came all the way here just to avoid that fate… what should I do?

Bai Yunxian’s anxiety and trembling hands didn’t go unnoticed by Jiao Zhan, who has been standing by his side all this time.

“Hey! Watch your mouth and what you say! If you don’t then I don’t mind breaking that unreliable petty mouth of yours!” He glared at the guy who was running his mouth carelessly in front of someone he shouldn’t.

However, upon noticing his mistake, he immediately apologized to Bai Yunxian, “Sorry bro, I was just saying. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.”

“No, it’s alright. I understand, I’ll be careful.” Though Bai Yunxian’s complexion went pale, he did his best not to show the anxiety on the surface as he gave off a forced smile.

“No, that’s not it! You definitely misunderstood me. I—”

No one paid attention to his words, even the rejection was stronger than before. This made Bai Yunxian wonder if the instructor they talked about was truly that bad.

Originally, he fled to this place to avoid getting involved with those men, but he still couldn’t avoid one as it was nearly impossible to do so when they were classmates. When he was trying so hard to save his ass from that maniac, now you are telling me there is another maniac hiding in the dark?

Isn’t this totally absurd?

While Bai Yunxian was thinking all this, the teacher came in and the class started, making him forget these things for the time being.

As soon as the bell rang, the class ended. The teacher already left, and it was time for them to leave as well. Bai Yunxian was also prepared to leave, however, the thing he wanted to avoid the most still happened.

“What? It seems the top student is in a hurry to leave the class? Isn’t it improper of you to do so, student Bai?”

Even Jiao Zhan felt irked by his arrival, it was really annoying having to face him.

The guy they were facing right now is called Shen Xia, second son of Lord Shen, who was the patriarch of the current Shen family, one of the most influential families in the capital.

The origin of the Shen family came from an ordinary background, with their great-great-grandfather being a trusted merchant of the then Emperor. Pleased with his services, the Emperor gave him a noble title, and his influence went far and beyond till this day. The richest family of the Empire right after the Royal family, it would be them.

Though not as far as the Yun’s.

The Yun family had secret power in the dark which was beyond the reach of any force, and was approved by the Emperor with a bond of trust. That’s why no one knew of this influence, even Bai Yunxian got to know of this secret after getting locked in the palace for the fifth time.

That is to say, Shen Xia was a proud noble son with an extraordinary looks and background. Yet it was a shame that this guy was crooked!

Bai Yunxian felt like cursing, but held himself back.

I’m sick of this.

Until how long do I have to endure this?

Bai Yunxian forced a smile on his face as he turned around and asked the guy with a polite tone, holding back his anger as much as possible, “Do you need something from me, Student Shen?”

Shen Xia was ticked by Bai Yunxians uninterested expression, he closed the fan with a ’clack’ sound as he said, “Didn’t I already tell you what I need? All you have to do is nod your head, that’s all I need now. You know I’m a gentleman, so I don’t want to use force with you. However, if you still resist me, then I Can’t be so sure of my virtuous demeanor.”

“No matter what you do or say, my answer will always be the same, Young Master. Please don’t mind me and do your own work.”

Bai Yunxian finished talking as he lifted his bag over his shoulder, prepared to leave.

“How dare you try to leave when I’m not done talking? You’ll regret what you’re doing today!” Shen Xia was even more irked as he grabbed Bai Yunxian by the collar and shouted at him, but the guy didn’t seem to budge as he didn’t even look his way.

“What do you think you are doing? Shen Xia, I don’t care where you came from, let him go this instant!”

Like the good brother he is, Jiao Zhan was ready to get in a fight with Shen Xia to protect Bai Yunxian, which made him feel grateful to the guy once again.

“Who are you to meddle in my business? Go away, you moron!” Shen Xia also didn’t back off, almost getting into a fight.

Just as the boys were about to face off, a girl came running as she stood in the middle of both parties with an anxious face, taking deep breaths.

Looking at a girl as beautiful as a painting, Bai Yunxian didn’t have any special feelings. Subconsciously comparing her beauty to Lord Yun, who was like a sculpture personally created by the God with his own hands, attracted both men and women.

This girl didn’t have the charms that he had.

Very ordinary.

“Guys, please stop fighting. What do you think you were about to do just now? Didn’t you know that other than swordsmanship arena, fighting anywhere else inside the Academy is prohibited? What would you do if the instructor came and punished us for it?”

It seems the girl came to stop the fight, the opinion of the student started to go in the wrong way as they praised her.

Wow! Isn’t that beauty Chu from First Class? How come she is here?

Ahh! The goddess is here!

Look how hard she is working to stop them! She is so brave, I would never dare to go in front of these rowdy guys, she truly is brave!

Look at me, look at me, goddess!

Looks like the guys would stop, eh?

While the students were praising the girl, Chu Qingyan blushed as she looked shy. However, her demeanor changed quickly as it was not the right time to feel proud of.

All the future tiger and lions, tyrant and buzzers, needs to be under her feet!

And to achieve that, she would do anything!

As she thought, Chu Qingyan gave an amiable smile at the boys who seemed irritated as she urged them, “it’s pretty late. I think you guys should hurry to the cafeteria and grab something to eat, aren’t you hungry?”

“Don’t get into middling fights with boys, you stupid woman. If you dare to involve yourself into something like that again, I can’t make sure that you won’t get slapped in the face directly!” Jiao Zhan’s threatening tone made Chu Qingyan go pale as she stopped smiling.

As if a cold bucket of water had been splashed onto her face, Chu Qingyan woke up to reality. In an instant, her face flushed in shame.

“I-I wasn’t! I was only reminding you to be careful, since you are fighting inside the class.”

After watching her get humiliated and making excuses, the students were whispering in silence, which also stopped with a glare from Shen Xia.

“…”

Damn it!

It’s all because of that Bai Yunxian! If it weren’t for him, then I wouldn’t get humiliated like this today!
