Leng Xue'er confirmed that Cheng Duoyi was uninjured, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief, retracting her three-word Battle Armor and soul rings.

Just then, the dormitory door was shoved open violently.

Long Hengxu ran in, gasping for breath, followed by the dean of Eastsea Academy; as for the other teachers, they did not come in and remained waiting downstairs.

The dean was an elderly man with graying hair; he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully to Leng Xue'er, "Teacher Leng, this... what is the meaning of this?"

Leng Xue'er said indifferently, "My younger brother was almost bullied."

Her voice was calm, but the two men could still sense the killing intent within it.

Long Hengxu hurriedly looked at Zhou Changxi lying on the bed, then glanced at the shivering Yun Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "You, explain exactly what happened!"

Yun Xiao was trembling with fear, stuttering as he recounted the events that had just transpired.

Upon hearing that Zhou Changxi had ordered Cheng Duoyi to take over all the dormitory cleaning duties the moment he walked through the door, the dean's expression grew increasingly unsightly.

"Absurd!" the dean roared angrily, "How could Eastsea Academy have such a student! Disrespectful to his peers and bullying a classmate—this is simply ruining the reputation of our academy!"

He made a decision on the spot: "From this moment on, Zhou Changxi is expelled! He is never to step foot in Eastsea Academy again! Furthermore, I will notify other academies to make them weigh carefully whether they should accept such a student!"

Having said that, he hurriedly looked at Leng Xue'er, his face filled with a fawning smile: "Teacher Leng, do you find this handling acceptable? It is our academy's poor management that caused student Cheng Duoyi to suffer such grievances."

Leng Xue'er glanced at Cheng Duoyi, and Cheng Duoyi nodded.

Leng Xue'er gave the dean a cold look: "I hope this is the last time. Manage your students better in the future. If anyone dares to touch a single hair on my brother's head again, they will bear the consequences!"

Leng Xue'er was truly angry.

Whether at the Spirit Pagoda or elsewhere, Cheng Duoyi had always lived the life he wanted with ease, and no one would ever make things difficult for him.

Now, he had deigned to come here to study, which would not only add to the academy's foundation but surely boost its fame in the future, yet here they were, actually bullying him!

If this were the outside world, she would have already wiped them out!

"Yes, yes, yes!" The dean and Long Hengxu nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "We will certainly strengthen our management; such a thing will absolutely never happen again!"

Just then, a cold voice came from the doorway: "What happened?"

The dean and Long Hengxu turned back to look.

They saw Wu Changkong standing at the door.

Long Hengxu hurriedly explained the sequence of events to Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong glanced at the unconscious Zhou Changxi, then looked at Cheng Duoyi standing beside Leng Xue'er, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had not expected Leng Xue'er to have a younger brother, let alone that he would come to study at Eastsea Academy.

"This child is at fault, but his crime does not warrant death..."

Wu Changkong clearly knew Leng Xue'er's temperament, and saying this was his way of ensuring Zhou Changxi's life was spared.

Leng Xue'er looked at Wu Changkong indifferently and said nothing.

Cheng Duoyi said, "Sister Xue'er, this place isn't fit for living in for the time being."

"Besides, it's getting late; let's go get something to eat first."

"Alright, whatever Yi'er says," Leng Xue'er replied with a smile.

After the two left, the dean and Long Hengxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They hurriedly arranged for people to deal with the situation.

Wu Changkong felt even more perplexed.

He couldn't claim to understand Leng Xue'er's situation, but to see her smile and be so tense—could this student really be her younger brother?

"Brother Yi'er! Sister Xue'er!"

Tang Wuling's eyes lit up when she saw them, and she hurried over to take Cheng Duoyi's hand.

Previously, she had been on one side with Na'er, but now she was alone.

To be honest, she felt a secret sense of joy in her heart.

The surrounding teachers and students looked at Cheng Duoyi and Leng Xue'er, all of them stunned by Leng Xue'er's beauty.

"Since when did our academy have such a beautiful teacher?"

"Who is this teacher, and which class does she manage?"

"She's so beautiful, I wonder if she has a boyfriend."

Cheng Duoyi ignored the gazes of those around him and said with a smile, "Sister Ling'er, have you been waiting long?"

"No, no." Tang Wuling shook her head, then looked curiously toward the boys' dormitory: "Brother Yi'er, I heard just now that something happened on the second floor of the boys' dormitory. You weren't hurt, were you?"

Leng Xue'er's expression darkened.

Cheng Duoyi stated plainly, "It's true, but it's nothing major. A roommate wanted to bully me, so I knocked him out."

"What? He dared to bully you!" Tang Wuling immediately widened her eyes, saying indignantly, "How hateful! I really want to beat him up!"

Cheng Duoyi couldn't help but laugh: "I've already finished beating him up. He's probably lying in the infirmary right now, and the dean has already expelled him."

"Well done!" Tang Wuling nodded vigorously, clenching her fist to look fierce: "People like that deserve a good lesson! He dared to bully you? If I had known, I definitely would have taken care of them!"

Seeing Cheng Duoyi looking so sickly, Tang Wuling assumed he was weak and had long since made up her mind to protect him.

"Alright, let's go eat. Sister Xue'er, Little Sister Ling'er, what do you want to eat? My treat today."

"I want a Grade A Meal!" Tang Wuling immediately raised her hand.

"You really are a little foodie."

Cheng Duoyi patted Tang Wuling on the head, and she couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Yay! Brother Yi'er patted my head again! So happy ^_^."

"I'll listen to Yi'er," Leng Xue'er smiled.

"Alright, then it's Grade A Meals," Cheng Duoyi said with a smile.

The three of them walked toward the cafeteria, heading for the Grade A Meal window.

They hadn't been in line long when they saw Wu Changkong follow them in.

Wu Changkong spotted them too, his gaze lingering on Cheng Duoyi for a few seconds before he looked away.

Just then, a few female students from the higher grades secretly took out their Soul Guidance Cameras to snap photos of Wu Changkong.

A few bolder girls even wanted to step forward to ask for his contact information.

Wu Changkong frowned, stood up, and walked out of the cafeteria at a brisk pace.

He had originally wanted to check on Cheng Duoyi's condition, but that was clearly impossible now; he had no desire to be surrounded by these infatuated girls.

This little interlude didn't affect Cheng Duoyi and the others as they got their food.

The cafeteria serving windows were divided into Grade A, B, and C. Grade C was free, while Grade A was the most expensive, costing about one thousand Federation Coins per serving.

Knowing Tang Wuling's appetite, Cheng Duoyi naturally bought a large amount at once, which shocked the chef.

"Can the three of you finish all this?"

Cheng Duoyi was a smooth talker: "Big Brother Chef, my little sister has a huge appetite; we won't waste any food."

The chef heard "Big Brother Chef."

What else was there to say?

Take it all!

"You've got a sweet tongue. Alright, I'll give you everything I've got here."

"If you can finish all this, I'll double the ingredients I prepare every day to make sure you get your fill."

"Thank you, Big Brother Chef."

The chef was a young man, and under the constant "Big Brother" flattery, he served the food at lightning speed.

Leng Xue'er smiled helplessly. This was exactly what she liked about Cheng Duoyi: he was eloquent, knew how to handle himself, was a good person, and most importantly, he was Leng Yaozhu's godson and her own godbrother.
