Tang Miao: I'm Not That Kind of Person!

Even so, Tang Miao remained unmoved, as if he wasn't the one being attacked?

Aside from Ai Tutu, the other students were also stunned. If Tang Miao hadn't taken the initial hit from the Fierce Fist, frankly, they all thought Tang Miao was being incredibly arrogant. This was High-level Magic! And he didn't even flinch?

Ai Tutu was quite scared just now, but Tang Miao withstood one bombing, which shows that he does have the ability to resist.

Just as Gao Hongfei successfully drew the sixth Star Map, Tang Miao, who was standing there, moved! He moved so fast that the people next to him did not react in time. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Gao Hongfei.

Even Gao Hongfei, who was describing constellations, was dumbfounded. His understanding of constellations was instantly abandoned halfway... He didn't even have time to use any defensive measures before Tang Miao punched him away again.

Of course, an ordinary punch wouldn't have sent him flying; this was a punch infused with spatial force. With a loud "bang," Gao Hongfei was knocked to the ground.

"If you were my enemy, you would have died the moment you were describing the constellations." Tang Miao had no intention of harming him; her strength was perfectly controlled.

Although Tang Miao didn't intend to seriously injure him, that solid punch still hurt like hell... Bai Hongfei struggled to his feet, wanting to say, "Weren't you going to stay out of it?"

But isn't saying something like that a bit too audacious?

He was, after all, from a prestigious family, and he possessed some basic common sense. Moreover, he had indeed been careless in his dealings with Tang Miao... If he had used a magical artifact, the outcome might have been different.

But a loss is a loss; Tang Miao held back just now... he could still feel it.

The opponent didn't even cast a single spell or use a single magical artifact to defeat him... It's hard to accept, but that's the truth!

"Kid, want to continue?" Tang Miao asked, feeling a bit bored.

To be honest, he really hadn't expected his junior, also Advanced Mage, to be so weak. He wasn't even qualified to be his punching bag...

"Mentor, I admit defeat... I give up..." Although Bai Hongfei didn't know Tang Miao's exact cultivation level, he was certain that Tang Miao was incredibly strong!

The sparring match ended so abruptly, something the others hadn't expected. After all, they had anticipated a spectacular scene of cataclysmic destruction and a raging inferno...

Then Tang Miao had Ai Tutu open the blueprints and begin studying the upcoming training mission.

After seeing the blueprints, it became clear that many of the irrigation canals in Tongxiang County had undergone large-scale renovations. While standing in the middle of them, it didn't seem like much, but only by flying over 500 meters and looking down could one truly appreciate how ingenious these changes were.

Tang Miao didn't linger and led everyone directly out of Safe Zone.

Once outside the Safe Zone, the students' faces showed wariness. Unlike Tang Miao, who had been dealing with Demon Beast since Magic Awakening, they hadn't really experienced many life-or-death trials, so their nerves were on edge as soon as they stepped out.

Even Ai Tutu, who seemed like a very experienced assistant, was still like that.

Although Ai Tutu enjoys thrills, this is the first time she has left the Safe Zone without the protection of a mentor.

This is only possible because she's with Tang Miao; if it were anyone else, Ai Tutu would probably have turned around and left immediately.

As the young princess of the prestigious Ai Family, she has no need for adventures. Even if she achieves nothing, she will never lack food or drink...

"This water vein flows down from Biyuan Mountain, and it flows from Qingyi Lake. Teacher, let me go take a look at Biyuan Mountain. I've been there before, so I'm quite familiar with it." After observing the area for a while, Bai Hongfei, who had just been beaten up, suddenly volunteered.

"Can you do it all by yourself?" Tang Miao asked, looking at him with a hint of doubt.

This kid is quite capable; after all, he's an Advanced Mage, so he's not weak. But his combat experience is clearly lacking, so he's curious whether this guy can actually do anything.

"We came here to gain experience. If our mentor has to do everything with us personally, what kind of experience is that? Besides, we joined to share our mentor's burdens. Dealing with this water vein disruption as soon as possible is the most important thing." Bai Hongfei didn't care about Tang Miao's disdain and replied solemnly.

The other trainees couldn't help but show disdain upon hearing Bai Hongfei's words. This Bai Hongfei had acted all high and mighty before, how come he's become so shameless and obsequious after being beaten up?

However, it was indeed only right to curry favor with the mentor. Another equally arrogant student also chimed in, not to be outdone. "Mentor, then I'll take charge of Xujia Creek. I'm sure I can find the cause!"

"Mentor, Minghe River, I'll take care of her!"

"..."

As soon as the two people started talking, the students divided up the tasks one by one.

Tang Miao was naturally happy to be at ease. After telling them to be careful and to signal if anything happened, he let them leave.

Tang Miao didn't go with them to investigate. Like he'd said before, they were all Advanced Mage; if they couldn't even send a signal and were already dead, what was the point of graduating?

While instructors have an obligation to ensure the safety of their students, no one can protect them forever, right?

If they were to encounter danger, Tang Miao was confident that he could rush to their aid at the speed of light with just a signal.

Ai Tutu watched the departing students and then asked, "Are you really so comfortable letting them investigate on their own?"

This wasn't exactly safe territory, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried...

"What does it matter? We're all Advanced Mage. If we can't even send a signal when we're in danger, we might as well die sooner rather than later," Tang Miao said calmly.

The reason he was so confident that there wouldn't be any problems was because these guys were already Advanced Mage, while the strongest in the vicinity was only a Commander Level Demon Beast.

Demon Beast at the Commander Level is no match for Tang Miao in his current state! Under these circumstances, why should he worry?

The tasks had been assigned, and Cao Qinqin, who had been massaging, cutting tea, and pouring water, felt a little awkward. It seemed there was nothing left for her to do! However, hearing Tang Miao's nonchalant words, she felt that perhaps staying here was actually more reassuring...

But at the same time, she had a headache. If she stayed by her advisor's side the whole time, how would she ever graduate?

She asked softly, "Teacher, then... then what about me?"

"Just follow orders."

"Huh?" Cao Qinqin paused...

"What, you're not happy with my arrangements?" Tang Miao asked, turning around after hearing the girl's puzzled voice.

"No... no... but, I also need to Excellent Graduation, and if I don't do anything..." Cao Qinqin said, looking at Tang Miao with some panic.

Because she was thinking about things she shouldn't have, especially how much Tang Miao had bossed her around the whole way... Cao Qinqin wondered to herself: Could I have also encountered some kind of unspoken rule?!

Tang Miao naturally understood the strange look in the little girl's eyes, and then... she felt a little dissatisfied. Did she really look like that kind of person?

"Why are you looking at me like that? You don't think I'm the kind of person who would have something going on with a student, do you?" He really didn't like the awkward atmosphere and said bluntly.

"Ah?"

Cao Qinqin was taken aback again. Although that was indeed what she was thinking, she didn't seem to have said it aloud, did she? She had a feeling she was going to get a demerit...

"Don't be afraid, I'm not that kind of person. Besides, if I really wanted to do something to you, do you think she would still be here?" Tang Miao pointed at Ai Tutu and explained.

Although Ai Tutu knew that Tang Miao was a lecherous bastard, she could also see that he still had his limits. His relationship with the young woman in front of him was purely a matter of wits, occasionally a bit of teasing, and he had no other intentions.

If it really exists!

She Ai Tutu, was about to contact someone for help!

Tang Miao was warned about this last night!

Unfortunately, trust between people is sometimes just that fragile...

After Tang Miao offered an explanation, he led the two towards Qingyi Lake, which was marked on the map. Letting the students investigate the clues was just a formality; these rookies clearly couldn't possibly grasp the significance of such matters.
