Speechless

Xiao Ning'er possessed a sea of green Soul Force. During the freshman assessment, her Soul Force reached an impressive 78, the best among all new students.

No one thought the instructor would move her position, yet today, he did.

The newly arrived Shen Yue whispered a few words into Instructor Tie Kuang's ear. The instructor hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded.

"Students in the row by the window, all of you move back one seat," Tie Kuang commanded with a booming voice.

Students like Xian Wu and Zhu Jun Xiang got up one after another. No one dared to question the instructor's decision.

"The new guy sure has a lot of pull, making the instructor move our entire row," Zhu Jun Xiang grumbled quietly, reluctantly moving to Xian Wu's original seat.

Xian Wu nodded in agreement. "Exactly, even more than Ye Ziyun. When Ye Ziyun arrived, she only affected one person. This kid, however, managed to move a fifth of the class."

He picked up his belongings and moved to the last row.

This seat was now practically against the wall, extremely cramped and narrow.

Everyone thought Instructor Tie Kuang would assign the new student, Shen Yue, to the first seat in the row by the window. They never expected...

"Student Xiao Ning'er, pack your things and move to the first seat by the window," Tie Kuang said gently, but his tone was irrefutable.

Shen Yue was a direct descendant of the Sacred Family, and the majority of the Iron Gate Family's businesses relied on the Sacred Family. He couldn't afford to offend the young master of the Sacred Family, so he had to comply with the request.

Upon hearing Instructor Tie Kuang's words, Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were both taken aback.

Xiao Ning'er bit her lip, unwilling to switch seats.

First, it was Shen Fei from the Sacred Family, and now Shen Yue, also from the Sacred Family. The Sacred Family was truly too overbearing!

Seeing that Xiao Ning'er was slow to move, Shen Yue walked over, tapped her desk, and said with a smile, "Future sister-in-law, did you hear the instructor asking you to move? That's the spot, the first seat by the window, the view is especially good."

Before Xiao Ning'er could speak, Ye Ziyun slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Shen Yue, Ning'er doesn't want to switch seats, don't force her. I'll switch with you." With that, Ye Ziyun prepared to leave her seat.

Suddenly, Xiao Ning'er grabbed her hand and stood up.

Ye Ziyun's pretty face flushed slightly. Ning'er finally took the initiative...

"No need!" Xiao Ning'er said softly and coolly, hugging her stationery. She walked past Ye Ziyun and took the seat by the window.

She would rather die than sit next to someone from the Sacred Family.

Seeing Xiao Ning'er settle in, Shen Yue said with feigned sincerity, "Future sister-in-law, if you really don't want to switch seats, you don't have to. There's no need to accommodate me." Shen Yue walked around to Ye Ziyun's desk, lingering without sitting down.

Xiao Ning'er shot Shen Yue a glare, snorted, and looked out the window.

The four words "future sister-in-law" felt like sharp, poisonous thorns, piercing her heart and making it bleed.

She would definitely change her fate through her own efforts. She absolutely would not marry a scumbag like Shen Fei.

Even if it meant death!

Looking at Xiao Ning'er's graceful and shapely figure, Shen Yue narrowed his eyes. He wondered what kind of fortune his useless elder brother had accumulated in a past life to be engaged to such a stunning beauty.

Sliding into the seat next to Ye Ziyun's back, Shen Yue caught a faint scent of orchid.

Ziyun, the only reason I've stooped to attend Sacred Orchid Academy is for you. I will definitely make you fall in love with me, Shen Yue thought to himself.

"Instructor, could you change my seat too?" At the back of the classroom, the noble male student whose seat Ye Ziyun had taken raised his hand and called out.

Tie Kuang stroked his chin. Having a noble student sit in the back row was indeed a bit inappropriate.

He scanned the entire classroom and immediately spotted Zhang Da Yanzhu's seat.

"You switch seats with Zhang Ming," Instructor Tie Kuang said with a smile. "Zhang Ming, you can pick any of the three seats in the back row, whichever you like."

Zhang Ming clutched his stationery, on the verge of tears. No matter which seat he picked, it was still in the back row.

What terrible luck!

After the seating change interlude, Tie Kuang maintained order in the class and began the formal lesson.

Due to special circumstances, Xian Wu did not attend the second practical class.

When it was time for lunch, he only learned from Zhu Jun Xiang that his position as class representative had been taken over by Shen Yue.

"It's that Shen Yue again!" Xian Wu's eyes widened.

Although being class representative wasn't a particularly important position, having it snatched away by someone else felt awful.

Shen Yue, huh? The Sacred Family, huh? I've noted this grudge. Just you wait!

At noon, the sun blazed intensely.

Xian Wu stood outside the classroom, diligently practicing the Six Character Mantra under the scorching sun.

Although Vice Dean Ye Sheng had advised him not to practice the Seven Star Divine Curse, he hadn't told him not to practice the Six Character Mantra.

The Six Character Mantra was a body-tempering technique. His body hadn't shown any abnormalities when he practiced it before, so Xian Wu felt at ease.

He had left his worn-out cloak in the classroom. He wanted to see if the ultraviolet rays could help clear the bruises on his body.

A short while later, Xiao Ning'er walked gracefully into the classroom with a gloomy expression.

Unexpectedly, she didn't close the window this time.

Xiao Ning'er leaned on the windowsill, propping her chin with her hand. Her deep, clear eyes blinked curiously as she asked, "Why is your face red?"

"Looking radiant."

"Why is your hair white too?"

"It's wax I put on because it's cold."

"The bruises on your face..."

"Are you done yet? Can't you see I'm practicing, you idiot!"

"Wuwuwu..."

Suddenly, Xiao Ning'er covered her face with both hands and began to sob.

Seeing the beautiful young girl he had scolded to tears, Xian Wu was at a loss.

"Don't... don't cry, my little ancestor. If someone saw this, they'd think I'd taken my pants off in front of you again," Xian Wu quickly went to the window and whispered to comfort her.

The more he tried to comfort her, the worse it got. Xiao Ning'er cried even harder, like pear blossoms in the rain, or a river bursting its banks.

"Stop crying, or I'll take my pants off," Seeing that gentle persuasion wasn't working, Xian Wu decided to try a tougher approach.

To his surprise, Xiao Ning'er was unmoved by either approach. Her eyes were like a dam that had burst, tears streaming out "whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Xian Wu felt that Xiao Ning'er's deep sadness was probably related to the Sacred Family and that idiot Shen Yue.

From a very young age, Xiao Ning'er knew her family wanted to marry her into the Sacred Family, to Shen Fei.

As she grew older, she gradually understood what kind of person Shen Fei was. She didn't want to marry that playboy who was always chasing after women.

So she trained desperately, wanting to escape this cruel fate.

She thought that entering Sacred Orchid Academy to study would temporarily distance her from the schemes of her family and the harassment of the Sacred Family. She never expected... that people from the Sacred Family would be so persistent, chasing her all the way to the beginner Warrior class.

The pressure weighed down on her like a mountain, and Xiao Ning'er felt like she was suffocating.

For some reason, when she faced Xian Wu, she inexplicably felt a sense of peace.

Even though he was a shameless scoundrel.

Her emotions suddenly broke down, and she couldn't stop herself. Xiao Ning'er lost control.

Xian Wu's voice suddenly disappeared from her ears. Xiao Ning'er looked up, her vision blurred by tears.

She discovered that the guy had actually gone back to practicing his skills, completely at ease.

Scoundrel, big scoundrel!
