Teacher, You're a Genius

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong pouted and raised her hand again to ask, "Teacher, don't you think I lack offensive abilities? It's too boring to just hide in the back and defend..."

Ye Feiyang had already considered this issue. Since Ning Rongrong's defense was no longer a problem, adding some offensive capabilities would indeed make her more well-rounded.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, his tone carrying a hint of mystery, "The fact that you can say this shows you still have the desire to improve. Coincidentally, I have a martial art that is very suitable for you."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly. She had only mentioned it in passing, and there was an unexpected reward!

She had long been dissatisfied with being just a stationary support Soul Master. Seeing how cool and dashing Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked when they fought, she was incredibly envious.

"Teacher, what martial art is it? Teach me quickly!" she eagerly leaned forward, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Feiyang pointed his fingers like a sword, lightly tapping her forehead, and said with a smile, "This martial art is called the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword'."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation. This name sounds too powerful!

She grabbed Ye Feiyang's hand on her forehead and asked excitedly, "Teacher, if I learn this Six Meridian Divine Sword, will I be able to spar with you in the future?"

Ye Feiyang didn't catch the other meaning in her words, only thinking she wanted to spar, so he nodded, "Of course. When you've practiced it well, I'll spar with you if I have the chance."

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu stood to the side, feeling that their teacher seemed to have been "teased" by Ning Rongrong, but they couldn't find any proof and could only grumble in their hearts.

Ning Rongrong gave a sly smile, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, "Teacher, you said it yourself. If I accidentally 'hit' your face then, don't be unhappy."

As soon as she finished speaking, as if it were premeditated, she suddenly pounced on Ye Feiyang, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist like an octopus.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing watched with sour hearts. Zhu Zhuqing grumbled inwardly, Junior Sister, what about our agreement to "strive for opportunities on the same day, month, and year..."? Why did you make the first move?

Xiao Wu also muttered in her heart, Senior Sister, why don't you put more effort into it? If you push a little harder, maybe you can squeeze me up there too.

Ye Feiyang struggled to pull Ning Rongrong off him and pointed at her helplessly, "Behave yourself..."

He pressed Ning Rongrong back into her seat, condensed Soul Power at his fingertips, and directly transmitted the key principles of the Six Meridian Divine Sword into her mind.

After receiving the information, Ning Rongrong was both surprised and delighted. With a hint of disbelief, she asked, "Teacher~~ sob sob~ This sword technique doesn't use a sword, are you serious? I only need to use my fingers?"

"But if that's the case, won't I still be stuck in place, only able to output like before?"

Ye Feiyang gave her a look and deliberately teased her, "What? You don't like it? If you don't like it, I'll switch to another one?"

"No, no, no! Teacher, I like it very much!" Ning Rongrong quickly shook her head, afraid Ye Feiyang would go back on his word. "It's perfect for practicing finger dexterity, especially suitable for me!"

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she started to push her luck, "Teacher, I'm so touched, I don't know how to repay you... Are you really not considering getting engaged to me?"

Ye Feiyang was already used to Ning Rongrong's shocking statements. He could only sigh helplessly and shake his head, "You're too young, don't think about these frivolous things all day. Practice the technique first."

"Then your meaning is, it's okay when I grow up?" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, instantly catching the "loophole" in his words.

But Ye Feiyang didn't pick up on her words at all. He reached out and flicked her nose, putting on a stern face and saying, "Don't be so disrespectful. Go back to your seat, we're continuing the meeting."

Ning Rongrong pouted and reluctantly sat back in her seat, muttering softly, "It's better to be disrespectful. That way, I can be closer to Teacher!"

She secretly added in her heart, Someone with Zhu Zhuqing's aloof personality, you can handle her with one hand; why aren't you moved when I'm so proactive?

Seeing Ning Rongrong's behavior, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously had the same thought: Indeed, the bold get rich, while the timid starve!

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated whether to imitate Ning Rongrong. She was afraid of ruining her cool persona, but then she thought, Even if my persona is ruined, it's better than not even having a chance to get close to Teacher.

Xiao Wu cheered herself on in her heart: What's wrong with being a Soul Beast? Soul Beasts are light and flexible, and easy to push over...

With that thought, she directly stood up, walked behind Ye Feiyang, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and began to give him a shoulder massage, "Teacher, let me give you a shoulder massage. Please continue speaking and don't be affected."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned – They're already competing for favor?

She secretly glanced at Ye Feiyang's thigh. After much deliberation, she still felt too embarrassed to sit there. Damn it, why am I so thin-skinned? No wonder I can't even get a sip of "soup"...

Ning Rongrong also complained in her heart, This Xiao Wu is too unfair! Why didn't I think of a good idea like a shoulder massage?

Just as she was about to lean over and eye Ye Feiyang's thigh, Ye Feiyang saw through her and stopped her in advance, "Rongrong, sit properly."

Ye Feiyang comfortably enjoyed Xiao Wu's service and reminded her, "Xiao Wu, a little more force. Mmm, yes, that's the right amount of pressure, it feels great."

He ignored the different expressions on the three girls' faces and continued, "Alright, let's continue the meeting. I've drafted a list, pay attention – if anyone on the list challenges you, defeat them first, then have a chat with them and do some ideological work..."

The three girls listened with blank expressions, secretly wondering: Does Teacher have a grudge against these people?

As if seeing through their thoughts, Ye Feiyang explained, "These people are all arrogant geniuses. If they win too easily, they won't take it to heart. But if they lose completely, it will stimulate their competitive spirit."

"What you need to do is showcase the strength of Supreme Academy and attract more geniuses to challenge. The stronger you are, the more curious they will become. With curiosity, they will want to understand our academy more deeply."

"You know, any 'fall' begins with curiosity. Once they become interested in the academy, we can then showcase our foundation... At that point, recruiting students will be a piece of cake?"

The three girls looked at him expressionlessly. So, we're just tools for recruitment? And when you mention your 'foundation,' you're referring to yourself, aren't you?

Ye Feiyang ignored their reactions and directly took out a list. It was written: Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan...

Ning Rongrong took the list and glanced at it, her mouth twitching slightly, "Teacher, don't you think this list... has a bit too much 'yin' energy? It's all girls!"

Ye Feiyang pouted and retorted in his heart: What are you talking about? Aren't there a few boys too? Just fewer of them!

He put on a stern face and said, "Ahem, just do as I say, don't ask so many questions! I haven't finished speaking, keep listening."

"My quota for personal disciples remains unchanged, still nine people. I will pass on my legacy to them," he said without batting an eye. After all, the techniques given by the system were now under his control, so calling them his legacy was not wrong!

"Now that our academy is considered 'prosperous,' the daily expenses must be considerable. Besides personal disciples, we also need to recruit some ordinary students to maintain the academy's daily operations. This will also make the academy seem more lively and less desolate."

Although he said this, as his strength increased, Ye Feiyang's ambition also slowly expanded. No matter how strong one person was, they were ultimately alone. True powerhouses never walked alone; he needed to build his own force.

Therefore, he planned to use this recruitment as an opportunity to gather many disciples, and even release some martial arts techniques, so that Supreme Academy could grow stronger as quickly as possible.

He had all sorts of martial arts manuals in his hands, so there was always something suitable for different students.

Even geniuses who weren't chosen as personal disciples could be taken in as registered disciples, deepening their bond with the academy.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to suggest, "Teacher, since you're recruiting so many students, I think we can hire some teachers to help with the lessons. You can't possibly do everything yourself; that would be too tiring."

Ning Rongrong added, "Teacher, I think we can also hire some people for odd jobs, specifically for cleaning, managing the cafeteria, and receiving visitors. This way, you and we can have more time to cultivate."

Xiao Wu looked around and quietly chimed in, "Teacher, I think they're right..."

Ye Feiyang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Mm, your suggestions are very good. We'll do as you say."

Speaking of odd jobs, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he asked Ning Rongrong, "By the way, Rongrong, didn't you say earlier that the Heaven Dou Auction House had Beast-Ear Girls for auction?"

The three women's alarm bells instantly rang—why was their teacher asking this? Did he have some peculiar fetish?

Ning Rongrong muttered inwardly, My legs are fair and slender, Xiao Wu's waist is soft, and Zhu Zhuqing has a hot figure. Aren't we attractive enough for you?

She cautiously asked, "Ah, uh, Teacher, what do you want to do by asking this?"

Ye Feiyang explained with a serious expression, "First, most people who bid on Beast-Ear Girls have impure intentions. Since we have the ability, we should help them. If we buy them back, they can do some miscellaneous work at the academy. It's doing a good deed and giving the academy a unique characteristic. How great is that?"

"Second, beautiful things can make people feel happy. When people are happy, they tend to smile... People who smile always have good luck."

The corners of the three women's mouths twitched—with so many females gathered together, perhaps only their teacher would find it delightful?

They always felt Ye Feiyang had ulterior motives, and at this moment, they felt even more imperiled—what if their teacher was dazzled by a group of "pale skin" one day and forgot about them? Wouldn't they be at a huge disadvantage?

Ning Rongrong suppressed the urge to complain and gave him a thumbs-up, "Teacher, you're truly a genius..."

Ye Feiyang decisively declared, "Alright, this matter is settled. Rongrong, the task of buying Beast-Ear Girls will be yours."

He chuckled, a hint of embarrassment in his voice, "Um, about the money, could you front it for now? I'll pay you back when I have money later."

Ning Rongrong screamed inwardly: If Teacher kissed me, I'd give him my life! If he dared to marry me, the entire Seven Treasure Sect could be his dowry!

But outwardly, she could only puff out her cheeks and sigh softly, "Teacher, I'll handle it..."

Xiao Wu also wanted to make her presence known. Suddenly, she had an idea and took out a black card with one million Gold Coins from her storage bracelet, handing it to Ye Feiyang, "T-Teacher, this money is useless to me. How about I use it to invest in Supreme Academy?"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up—this move was brilliant! Being a shareholder sounded much more impressive than being a student!

She also quietly took out a black card from her bracelet and handed it over, "Teacher, I'll invest too."

Ning Rongrong was quick and snatched the two black cards, smiling, "Teacher, the average price of a Beast-Ear Girl is two to three hundred thousand Gold Coins. I plan to buy ten, which will be about three million. I'll personally invest another million, making it four million in total!"

"This way, the academy will have funds, and you won't have to be a 'negative asset' dean anymore. How about it, happy?"

Ye Feiyang was stunned—if he had known it was so expensive, he wouldn't have brought it up!

Moreover, judging by Ning Rongrong's demeanor, that million Gold Coins probably wouldn't reach his hands.

He gave a dry laugh, "Hahaha~~ It's good, it's very good."

"In that case, each of you will hold a 10% stake. We're all shareholders now, so you'll need to put more effort into the academy."

His heart bled internally—this was the closest he had ever been to being a millionaire!

Ning Rongrong certainly didn't want Ye Feiyang to have too much money—if he had money, her "advantage" would gradually disappear. Coincidentally, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu thought the same way.

The three women exchanged a look, understanding each other perfectly.

Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, "Teacher, we still need to set up the arena tomorrow, which will require a lot of money. All our money has been invested, so what do you think..."

Xiao Wu quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I think the academy is still lacking a simulated cultivation room. That's a very costly project, so this money..."

Ye Feiyang's eyes widened—he only had tens of thousands of Gold Coins on him. They were trying to drain him dry! He had originally planned to save up ten thousand Gold Coins to buy a discounted storage ring! A storage ring with a thousand cubic meters for ten thousand Gold Coins, what a bargain!

He looked at Ning Rongrong, hoping she would "save the day," but Ning Rongrong quickly looked up at the sky, pretending to admire the moonlight, "Ahaha~~ The moon is so beautiful tonight, like a crescent boat..."

Ye Feiyang narrowed his eyes and scoffed—how could he not see through these three girls' little tricks? They were clearly unwilling to help!

"Rongrong, do you offer loans? I'll mortgage Supreme Academy to you..."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched—was he desperate? Mortgaging the academy right after acquiring it?

Her eyes darted, and she said, "Teacher, give me all the money you have, and I'll figure out the rest, okay?"

Seeing Ye Feiyang hesitate, she immediately added the finishing blow, "No way, no way~ Is there someone who holds a 70% stake but is unwilling to contribute even a dime?"

Ye Feiyang's old face flushed. He took out the meager ninety thousand Gold Coins he had from his embrace and slapped them on the table, "Hmph! If I had known running an academy was so expensive, I wouldn't have taken it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fearing further "exploitation" by the three women, he flashed away and returned to his own small courtyard.

After he left, the three women looked at each other, smiled, and excitedly high-fived in celebration, "Plan successful! Soulmate Link is too useful!"

That's right, they had been using their Soul Skills to communicate privately and collude to "trick" Ye Feiyang out of his money.

Xiao Wu asked with a giggle, "Rongrong, is it true what they say? Do men really turn bad when they have money?"

Zhu Zhuqing also leaned in, her face full of curiosity—she was very interested in this question.

Ning Rongrong said with certainty, "Of course! So, what we're doing is helping Teacher 'stay true to himself,' for his own good!"

"As long as Teacher doesn't have money, he won't mess around. This way, he can pay more attention to us. Isn't that great!"

The three women felt increasingly that it made sense, and in great spirits, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

On the other side, Ye Feiyang watched the three girls chatter as they went back to their rooms. He couldn't help but press his forehead and chuckle, "Do you really think I can't see through your little schemes? You're all ganging up to play me, aren't you?"

He knew very well that establishing an academy was a huge expense and shouldn't be borne by his disciples. It was just that since they wanted to "play," he would play along with them.

Right now, he was indeed short on cash. As for compensation, he would give it to them slowly later.

Thinking of the smug look on the three girls' faces just now, as if their "plan was successful," Ye Feiyang couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth. He knew very well their dependence on him and those subtle feelings they had. It was just that they were still young, and he had his own considerations, not wanting to expose it too early.

"99 Charm points, it's really not just for show." He gently stroked his chin, a hint of slyness flashing in his eyes. "So what if I'm broke? If I can get girls for free, I'll never spend money."

He remembered his dates with that front desk lady in Suotuo City. Which time did she not rush to pay the bill? If he hadn't felt too bad about it, he wouldn't have specifically given her the Divine Travel Hundred Transformations.

"However, what they said is also right. The academy does need a few teachers." Ye Feiyang stood by the window, looking at the night sky and murmuring to himself, "Where can I find suitable teachers?"

He thought for a moment, and a flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes. "If I could invite that 'brother complex' from Moonlight Pavilion to be a teacher, what are the chances?"

He then thought of Liu Erlong from the neighboring Blue Tyrant Academy and couldn't help but laugh. "If I could poach her, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking down the entire Blue Tyrant Academy in one fell swoop? That would save a lot of trouble."

The night breeze blew, carrying a hint of coolness. Ye Feiyang took out a pot of aged wine from his storage bracelet. He originally wanted to drink alone under the moon, but on second thought, companionship with a beauty would make it more flavorful.

His three disciples were still young and clearly not suitable for drinking. He decided, "It's still early, why not go out for a stroll? Maybe I'll encounter a 'surprise'."

No sooner said than done, his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already outside the small building in the back mountains of Blue Tyrant Academy.

The wooden window of the small building cast a warm yellow light, making it look exceptionally cozy in the night.

Ye Feiyang walked up and gently knocked on the wooden door, saying with a smile, "Is anyone home? I'm just passing by and would like to ask for a plate of peanuts to go with my wine."

Inside the house, Liu Erlong was gazing at the candlelight, lost in thought. The tall figure she had seen during the day kept flashing through her mind, refusing to leave and disturbing her peace of mind.

Just as she was daydreaming, the sudden knock on the door startled her.

She knew her residence was always secluded, and visitors were rare, let alone this late at night.

What shocked her even more was that she hadn't sensed anyone approaching—this meant the other party's strength was far above hers!

She suppressed her nervousness and asked, "Who is it?"

"My name is Ye Feiyang, your neighbor, you could say." The familiar voice came from outside the door, with a hint of a smile. "I have wine here, I just lack some snacks to go with it. I wonder if Dean Liu could do me a favor?"

Liu Erlong was stunned. She thought she was hallucinating from longing—Ye Feiyang? She had been thinking about this name all day, almost to the point of being brainwashed!

Hearing the name so clearly now, she even stammered, "Ye, Ye Feiyang? Neighbor? Yes, yes, is it Ye Feiyang from Supreme Academy across the way?"

"That's me," Ye Feiyang's voice was still gentle. "Dean Liu, you wouldn't not welcome me, would you?"

Liu Erlong's heart suddenly pounded. She quickly said, "Wait, wait! I, I'll change my clothes and open the door!"

Although she said she was changing clothes, she actually just changed her overly conservative long dress into a shorter, more form-fitting outfit—it could showcase her figure without seeming too deliberate.

A moment later, the wooden door creaked open. Liu Erlong looked up and her eyes instantly lit up. Under the candlelight, Ye Feiyang's smile was harmless, yet it carried an inexplicable charm, making him even more captivating than when she had seen him from afar during the day.

Oh no, I can't seem to look away... Liu Erlong exclaimed inwardly.
