Class Nine's Freshmen, Homeroom Teacher Mu Jin

After a long while.

Zhou Yi looked around for ages but found nothing. Confused, she turned back. "Who was fighting... Where are they???"

She was dumbfounded.

Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong were nowhere to be seen. Only a few leaves blown down by the wind remained.

"Good, very good!"

Zhou Yi's fury flared, and her voice turned icy. "They actually dared to slip away right under my nose. They've really got some nerve."

She had wanted to go to the Teaching Affairs Office to look up their student records, but class was about to begin, so she could only put it aside for now.

Zhou Yi was in a terrible mood, but she could only suppress her anger and head toward the Teaching Building.

Meanwhile, in the first-year corridor.

"Xue Nianbing, was it really okay for us to just run away like that?" Wang Dong was still a little dazed.

"What are you afraid of? She won't be able to trace it back to us anytime soon."

Xue Nianbing looked completely unconcerned.

He had no interest in saying another word to that crazy woman, Zhou Yi.

There were quite a few people he disliked at Shrek Academy, and Zhou Yi was one of them.

"Not anytime soon? So that means she can still find us."

Wang Dong was still somewhat nervous.

She had always been obedient, but ever since she had started hanging around Xue Nianbing, she had repeatedly broken the rules. It was as if only their rules counted as rules.

"So what if she finds us? If she comes looking for you, just throw her own words back at her: Shrek Academy's tradition says that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

"If you're feeling bolder, you can add: I caused trouble with you. What are you going to do about it?"

"With our talent and background, she won't get anything out of us anyway."

Xue Nianbing said with a faint smile.

Since Zhou Yi loved that saying about those who dared not cause trouble being mediocre...

Then she could experience it properly from the victim's perspective.

No need to thank him. Helping others was what Xue did best.

"You can... do that?"

Wang Dong did not even know what to say.

Everything Xue Nianbing did was always so unexpected.

"Class Nine. This is it."

Xue Nianbing entered the classroom, with Wang Dong following behind him.

The two walked in one after the other.

There were already quite a few people in Class Nine. When they saw Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong, many eyes turned toward them.

Once they got a clear look at the two, quite a few female students' eyes lit up.

Both Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong were exceptionally handsome.

Xue Nianbing looked somewhat aloof, and those golden eyes of his carried an oppressive presence that made people admire him but hesitate to approach.

Wang Dong, on the other hand, seemed sunnier, but the pride on her face made her appear difficult to approach.

The two had different temperaments, but both possessed remarkably good looks.

Looks and presence of that level easily attracted girls.

Compared to the girls, the boys' reactions were much more ordinary. They looked for a while, then withdrew their gazes without further scrutiny.

Xue Nianbing paused at the door for a moment and found that most of the seats were already occupied.

He quickly spotted an empty seat and walked straight toward it.

Wang Dong stayed close behind him from beginning to end.

Having just arrived, she only knew Xue Nianbing. Everyone else was a stranger to her.

The two were fairly lucky. Their seats were near the middle, and two girls in white school uniforms sat in front of them, both seeming rather pretty as well.

When they saw Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong sit behind them, both girls looked a little surprised.

They could tell that quite a few boys had wanted to get close, but in the end, they had all chosen to watch from afar.

Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong were clearly bolder than those boys.

The red-haired girl leaned close to the blonde girl's ear and teased, "Ning Tian, they're both pretty handsome. Which one do you like?"

"Wu Feng, stop messing around."

Ning Tian's voice was calm, giving away neither pleasure nor displeasure.

Seeing this, Wu Feng said nothing more and sat properly.

She had only wanted to see whether Ning Tian would be moved by their looks. It was good that she was not.

Though Xue Nianbing and Wang Dong were handsome, they were still not her type. The person she liked had always been by her side.

"Hello, my name is Nanmen Yun'er."

At that moment, a soft voice came from Xue Nianbing's right.

Xue Nianbing turned his head and immediately met the other girl's dark green eyes.

The girl had light green hair cascading down her back. Her dark green eyes were full of gentleness, and her delicate, fragile aura naturally inspired the urge to protect her.

Nanmen Yun'er looked at Xue Nianbing with sparkling eyes.

Compared with Wang Dong, she preferred Xue Nianbing, especially his aloof yet slightly imposing temperament, which was utterly captivating.

"Hello, I'm Xue Nianbing."

Xue Nianbing smiled lightly and greeted her politely.

When Nanmen Yun'er saw his smile, her eyes went blank for a moment, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks. She murmured, "So... so handsome."

It was truly her first time seeing such a handsome boy.

"Thank you. I think I'm quite handsome too."

Xue Nianbing accepted Nanmen Yun'er's praise without the slightest modesty.

Wu Feng: "..."

Ning Tian: "..."

They were not sitting far away, so it was hard not to hear some things.

Honestly, it was quite surprising.

Xue Nianbing looked aloof and difficult to approach, but the truth was exactly the opposite. His personality was actually easygoing and approachable.

Wang Dong had already begun to get used to it.

After all, she had endured plenty of blows from Xue Nianbing last night.

Honestly, Xue Nianbing's ability to irritate people had reached the point of being a little shameless.

"Pfft~"

Nanmen Yun'er giggled, her voice soft as she said, "Xue Nianbing, you're really interesting. But you really are handsome."

"Mm, you're very pretty too."

Xue Nianbing was equally generous with his praise.

Hearing that, Nanmen Yun'er's heart leaped, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She continued, "I am..."

After that, the two gradually began chatting.

Watching from beside him, Wang Dong suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She immediately nudged Xue Nianbing with her elbow and reminded him, "Class is about to start."

The moment her words fell, the bell rang.

Wang Dong had not expected that she would accidentally fulfill a prediction.

Still, getting Xue Nianbing to stay farther away from that girl was the greatest success.

"Mm."

Xue Nianbing nodded slightly, then sat properly.

He scanned the entire classroom with his spiritual power. Every seat was filled—exactly one hundred students.

Just then, a figure appeared at the door.

She looked to be around thirty years old, but she still dressed fashionably. In everyone's eyes, she was a beautiful teacher.

The woman stepped onto the platform, looked at the hundred students below, and said with a smile, "Hello, students. My name is Mu Jin, and I am your homeroom teacher."

"Since you have come to Class Nine, we are a collective. I hope that everyone can help one another, remain united and friendly, and improve together from now on."

"I also hope that all of you can enjoy a pleasant learning experience at Shrek Academy."

As her words fell, a round of applause rang through the classroom.

Xue Nianbing smiled and joined in the applause.

Honestly, compared to Zhou Yi, this was what a normal experienced teacher's opening remarks should sound like.

As for inciting students to cause trouble, Xue Nianbing truly found it hard to stomach.
