Reprimanding a Female Teacher

Feng Hao found it perfectly normal that Tang Hao had come looking for Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Tang Hao cared deeply about his son. When Tang San enrolled, he must have been watching in secret.

What Feng Hao had not expected was that Yu Xiaogang had actually convinced the father and son that he was from Spirit Hall.

Along the way, Feng Hao kept piecing together the contents of their conversation and roughly understood why Tang San had believed him.

Yu Xiaogang claimed to know about Tang San's relatives and such, which really did make him seem like someone from Spirit Hall.

After all, only people from Spirit Hall could possess such detailed information.

How could Yu Xiaogang and the others have imagined that Feng Hao was not from Spirit Hall, but someone who knew their entire story?

Time passed bit by bit, and before long, they reached the outskirts of Soul Hunting Forest.

Quite a few people there were calling out to form teams.

Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to act as Tang San's encyclopedia again, telling him about classifications of martial souls and knowledge about teams.

After entering Soul Hunting Forest, Feng Hao followed them all the way.

Since he was already here, why not stay a little longer and see whether he could overhear anything useful?

Or perhaps see whether he could trigger a choice.

Time slowly passed until the Mandala Snake appeared.

As the two of them fought fiercely against the Mandala Snake, Feng Hao watched with great interest from the side as they struggled miserably.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was poisoned and Tang San was battling the soul beast, the system's voice—which Feng Hao found so pleasant—suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Tang San's first soul ring acquisition event has been triggered!"

"Choice One: Reveal yourself, help Tang San obtain his soul ring, and kill Yu Xiaogang. Reward: Soul Control Water."

"Choice Two: Let events unfold naturally. Reward: Summoning Ring."

If I kill Yu Xiaogang now, then even if I control Tang San, he'll only be a puppet. Wouldn't that take away much of the fun and leave me with fewer missions?

Yu Xiaogang wants to deal with me, so I can't let him die that easily. It would be best to let him see me take the woman he loves and make him experience a fate worse than death.

It would have been easy for Feng Hao to kill him.

But killing him like that would be letting him off too lightly.

Besides, the reward for Choice One was nothing special.

That Soul Control Water probably only allowed him to control people.

The Summoning Ring from the latter choice, on the other hand, appeared to be a spatial treasure.

It was still quite useful to Feng Hao.

Other than rewards granted by the system, he had no way of placing anything else into the system's backpack.

Therefore, he was in urgent need of a spatial treasure. If nothing else, he would have somewhere to store things when accompanying girls on shopping trips in the future.

Feng Hao chose the latter and continued watching.

Tang San also relied on his sleeve arrows to obtain that soul ring.

Feng Hao did not intend to keep following them afterward and decided to leave first.

After leaving, Feng Hao hurried back to the academy alone.

Nuoding Academy, on the day Feng Hao returned, it was afternoon.

There happened to be no classes that day, but students could still study on their own at the academy, read books, or practice there.

The reason Feng Hao had come to the academy was because Xiao Wu was not home.

If she was not home, she should be here.

When Feng Hao entered the academy, he soon found Xiao Wu.

However, a group of people had gathered around her at that moment.

As Feng Hao approached, he discovered a female teacher there, reprimanding Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu glared at her angrily, looking utterly unconvinced.

Feng Hao looked at the people around them. Weren't they Wang Sheng and the others?

It seemed that even though Xiao Wu was not a Work-Study Student, she had still encountered this matter and chosen to help the weaker side—Wang Sheng and the others.

"Teacher Xiao, what happened here?" Feng Hao asked with a smile as he stepped forward.

This female teacher was around forty years old, and no one knew how much makeup she had piled on. Being near her was extremely uncomfortable.

The overpowering scent of powder and perfume made her seem less like a teacher who taught martial soul cultivation and more like someone who taught others how to grow up.

"Teacher Feng, this little girl wasn't studying properly and got into a fight at school. That's not good, so I'm teaching her a lesson," she explained to Feng Hao with a smile.

After all, everyone in the academy knew about Feng Hao defeating Lin Heng.

Feng Hao was so young, yet he possessed such great strength. People at the academy all guessed that he might come from some powerful family.

Therefore, these teachers naturally did not dare offend Feng Hao.

"Oh? Teaching her a lesson, is that it? But she wasn't the only one involved in the fight, was she? Where are the ones who fought her? Why aren't you teaching those students a lesson?" Feng Hao asked.

"Teacher Feng, those students were injured by her."

"They were injured, were they? What year are they in?"

"Sixth year."

"Sixth-year students were injured by a first-year student. Isn't that all the more reason to teach them a lesson? Also, Teacher Xiao, before you started lecturing people, did you ask why a first-year student fought with sixth-year students? You didn't, did you? Could it be that among those sixth-year students, there are people you don't dare offend?"

Feng Hao's string of questions made the female teacher's face flush bright red.

Because Feng Hao had hit the mark. She had indeed chosen to side with the other party because of their family background.

She had not expected Feng Hao to speak up for Xiao Wu.

In the end, she said awkwardly, "Teacher Feng is right. I failed to consider things thoroughly this time. Student Xiao Wu, I apologize to you."

She knew when to yield, after all. Offending Feng Hao was not a good thing.

Given Feng Hao's potential, it was entirely possible that he would become a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo in the future.

"I hope you can be more fair in the future," Xiao Wu replied coldly. Then she walked to Feng Hao's side, took his hand, and said, "Brother Feng Hao, you're back. Let's go home!"

"Mm!" Feng Hao nodded, then said to the crowd, "Everyone, disperse!"

Then he took Xiao Wu's hand and left with her.

"Brother Feng Hao? Are they family? No wonder Sister Xiao Wu is so talented. So she's related to Teacher Feng Hao," Wang Sheng and the other students whom Xiao Wu had helped said happily.

Meanwhile, the female teacher stood there stupidly, completely stunned.

She had not noticed that Feng Hao and Xiao Wu were close at the academy before, so she had naturally never expected their relationship to be so intimate.

She understood that she had truly caused a major disaster today.

She decided that she would take better care of Xiao Wu at the academy in the future and make sure Xiao Wu did not hold a grudge against her.

Today's incident affected not only that female teacher and those students.

It also had a tremendous impact on the other teachers.

After learning of Feng Hao and Xiao Wu's relationship from the students, the other teachers also decided to take better care of Xiao Wu in the future.

Feng Hao and Xiao Wu knew nothing of this. After leaving the academy, Xiao Wu said, "Brother Feng Hao, let's go eat! You have no idea—when you weren't around, even eating alone didn't taste good."

"Alright! Whenever I go out to handle matters in the future, I'll come back as quickly as possible to keep my precious Xiao Wu company," Feng Hao said dotingly.
