"Yellow Class Two... whew, finally." Looking at the plaque before him, Lu Yunxiao sighed in relief. After searching for so long, he had finally found his destination.

He put the map into his Storage Ring, straightened his clothes, and then strode directly into the classroom.

"Yellow Class Two? That handsome Junior Brother is in Yellow Class Two."

Not far away, the group of female students trailing behind Lu Yunxiao spoke in soft voices.

"Yellow Class Two? Isn't that Mentor Ruolin's class?"

"Yeah, yeah. That genius everyone's been going crazy about in the academy seems to be in Yellow Class Two too. I heard he's handsome, and he has a lot of presence."

"They're both so handsome. Could they be the same person?" one female student whispered.

"What are the odds? They definitely aren't the same person," another female student quietly refuted.

"Tch, you never know. How could there be so many handsome guys? Maybe they really are the same person!" the first female student argued somewhat indignantly.

"Oh, what are you arguing for? Just follow him in and see."

A rather pretty female student interrupted them, speaking casually.

"Hehe, true. We're right next door anyway."

The group of female students giggled mischievously before following after him again.

Yellow Class Two already had quite a few students present. The moment Lu Yunxiao entered, his distinctive bearing immediately drew the attention of many students.

"Wow, what a handsome little brother. Is he a new student in our class?"

As she watched Lu Yunxiao enter, a female student's Big Eyes immediately lit up, a faint excitement appearing on her Pretty Face.

"He really is handsome. That aura is simply incredible. Hehe, Xue Ni, seeing such a handsome little brother must have gotten you all worked up again, you little vixen."

Hearing her words, the female student beside her snickered.

"Get lost, Li Yue. You're the one getting worked up. I'm just appreciating the little brother's looks, that's all."

Xue Ni gave her troublesome friend a shove and spoke with righteous conviction.

"Bleh, bleh, bleh, I don't believe you. But even if you are worked up, it's useless. Just looking at this Junior Brother's build and bearing, you can tell he's a man you'll never get in this lifetime."

Li Yue stuck out her tongue, made a silly face, and teased her mercilessly.

"You're still saying it!" Xue Ni snapped and pinched Li Yue at the waist, making Li Yue's Delicate Body shudder at once.

Li Yue burst into laughter and hurriedly retaliated. The two immediately began roughhousing.

The Corner of Mouth of Lu Yunxiao's mouth twitched slightly as he watched. Sure enough, female students were truly terrifying when they got rowdy.

His gaze swept around slightly. Nearly everyone in the class was unfamiliar, though there were some familiar faces as well, such as Zhang Yuan and several other older students, as well as a few freshmen from Mo City.

"Junior Brother Yunxiao, come sit here. There's an empty seat," a female student called out with a wave from a corner of the classroom just as Lu Yunxiao's gaze swept past.

Lu Yunxiao looked over. Good heavens, it was those senior sisters who had followed Mentor Ruolin. They were gathered together, each staring at him with burning eyes.

If he sat over there, he would be completely surrounded by those senior sisters.

"Ahem, thank you for your kind offer, Senior Sisters, but I don't think that'll be necessary."

After coughing lightly, Lu Yunxiao rubbed his nose and walked in another direction, where there were still quite a few empty seats.

"Xue Ni, he's coming, he's coming!" Seeing Lu Yunxiao walking in their direction, Xue Ni immediately grew excited.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you getting excited for, you little vixen? He's sitting in the back, not next to you."

Li Yue could not help mocking her from beside her.

"I know." Xue Ni spoke in a soft voice, her Big Eyes fixed unblinkingly on Lu Yunxiao.

"What a lovestruck fool." Li Yue complained, though her own eyes could not help drifting toward Lu Yunxiao. To be honest, this Junior Brother was outrageously handsome.

With all the female students scrutinizing him, Lu Yunxiao's scalp tingled slightly. Why did Jia Nan Academy feel like a den of wolves to him? These female students seemed far too bold.

After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Lu Yunxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. Seeing that the people behind him were all male students, he felt much more at ease.

It was not that he liked being close to men; rather, these male students would not look at him with such burning gazes, making them much more comfortable to be around.

Sighing softly, Lu Yunxiao leaned against the back of his chair and slightly raised his head. Suddenly, a figure entered his sight.

"Boss Lu, hello!" A young man stood in front of Lu Yunxiao, scratching his head as he looked at him with an honest expression, his eyes filled with admiration.

"You're Zhang Yun?" Lu Yunxiao raised his brows slightly in recognition. Wasn't this the student he had saved that night? He was also from Mo City.

"Why do you call me Boss?" Lu Yunxiao asked calmly.

"You saved my life. From that day on, I decided that you would be my boss."

Zhang Yun spoke with complete sincerity. Lu Yunxiao had not only saved his life, but Lu Yunxiao's strength, talent, and courage had also earned his deep admiration. Especially when Lu Yunxiao had slain three Dou Masters with a single sword strike—the terrifying combat strength had utterly convinced him.

This was a true genius!

It could be said that Lu Yunxiao had already become the person Zhang Yun admired most. In modern terms, Lu Yunxiao was his idol, the one he worshipped most.

Seeing Zhang Yun's worshipful expression, Lu Yunxiao's gaze shifted slightly as he said in a calm voice, "I saved you out of camaraderie between classmates. It was nothing more than a small effort. You don't need to act like this, and I don't have a habit of taking in underlings."

"Boss Lu, that's not right. What was a small effort to you was a life-saving favor to me. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you will always be my boss."

Zhang Yun spoke with a firm expression.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxiao paused and pondered slightly before waving his hand. "Suit yourself. As long as you're happy."

Since Zhang Yun wanted to acknowledge him, then so be it. In the end, it did not seem to do him any harm, so he could not be bothered to argue over it.

"Thank you, Boss." Upon hearing Lu Yunxiao's words, Zhang Yun started smiling, his face full of excitement.

"Alright, go back. Class will be starting soon," Lu Yunxiao said calmly, waving his hand.

"Okay, Boss." Zhang Yun responded, then quickly ran back to his seat.

He really does resemble those boys from my previous life who chased celebrities.

Lu Yunxiao murmured inwardly and shook his head. He had had a friend in his previous life who chased celebrities too. Whenever that friend saw his idol appear, he would become incomparably excited. Zhang Yun's behavior gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity.
