Still Going to Class?

Inside Yue Pavilion.

Tang Yuehua had just finished smoothing out the clothes that had been ruffled by the female hooligan beside her when she heard Lu Mingchuan, who had witnessed the entire scene, whispering criticisms about her.

What on earth is this guy saying? None of it makes any sense. Besides, that was just girls playing around—it wasn't anything like what he's describing.

The group fell silent for a moment.

A few of the thicker-skinned ones said to Tang Yuehua, "Sister Yuehua, we have some matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave first."

"Yes, yes, I need to go fix my roof."

"My husband is about to give birth."

"..."

All sorts of chaotic, nonsensical excuses were blurted out one after another.

Tang Yuehua wanted to remind them that Lu Mingchuan was still at the door, but seeing their panicked expressions, she couldn't find a single opportunity to get a word in.

The group pushed the door open, saw that familiar figure standing there, and immediately lowered their heads, scurrying away in every direction.

Lu Mingchuan shook his head as he watched their retreating backs.

I'm not even going to mock them, why are they running so fast?

Tang Yuehua waited for him inside.

Lu Mingchuan pushed the door open again. "Teacher, I'm here."

Good, you're here. Just don't let your brain dwell on what you saw earlier. You can just wait for this "old auntie" to chant scriptures at you.

Tang Yuehua sat in her chair, lifting her head with elegance, her slender fingers pointing to the chair in front of her.

"Mingchuan, sit."

Having waited outside for quite a while, Lu Mingchuan sat down before Tang Yuehua without standing on ceremony.

"Are we doing the baptism again today?"

Lu Mingchuan asked her with curiosity; after all, the classes here were dictated by her, and she decided what they would study each day.

Tang Yuehua, who had been about to tell him that today would be a session of scripture reading, heard his inner mutterings once more.

[Don't do this, I don't want to listen to you chant. If you just used your Yuehua Domain, would it really take this much thought?]

Tang Yuehua, sitting right in front of him, felt her face darken. That remark was practically calling her an old hag to her face.

[I don't want to stay in this place. By the time she finishes talking, it'll be dark. She speaks so slowly, without any regard for other people's time.]

[Wait...]

Tang Yuehua was intrigued by the sudden shift in his thoughts and chose not to speak.

[If I'm not mistaken, that guy Yu Xiaogang should be fine. His plotline hasn't ended yet, so today I can go watch a hilarious scene involving him.]

[Haha... I hope the old auntie doesn't choose scripture reading.]

Tang Yuehua's mind stirred. Since Lu Mingchuan said something was going to happen, she could just tag along. After all, she hadn't seen the morning's events, and it would be a real pity to miss the afternoon's as well.

She rose slowly, walked gracefully behind Lu Mingchuan, and pressed her palms onto his shoulders.

"Teacher knows you hate attending my classes, Mingchuan. Teacher is quite heartbroken over that."

Lu Mingchuan didn't know what she was trying to pull, so he quickly replied, "How could that be? Don't I come to class every single day, rain or shine?"

[Damn it, I almost forgot. You charge me such an exorbitant fee for every lesson, yet you have the nerve to be heartbroken? You should be happy I even show up.]

He was almost confused by her act.

Lu Mingchuan realized that he was paying for these lessons—though it wasn't his own money, that sum would have been enough for him to live a life of luxury for quite a while.

You're the one getting paid to do a job, and you're acting heartbroken at me?

Tang Yuehua's expression faltered for a split second, but Lu Mingchuan didn't notice.

She realized she had indeed charged a high fee, and perhaps her performance just now had been a bit off.

However, for the sake of the gossip, Tang Yuehua's skin became thick instantly.

"It is precisely because you come here every day, rain or shine, that I feel such emotion," Tang Yuehua said with a sorrowful look.

Since you don't like my classes, it would be perfect to cancel them. That seems like a very reasonable arrangement.

Besides, she had taken so much money without making any real changes in this spoiled second-generation heir; she felt a bit guilty about keeping it.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Lu Mingchuan was quite curious about Tang Yuehua's sudden sentimentality.

Tang Yuehua said softly, "I have been teaching you for quite some time now. How about I accompany you on an outing today? As long as your behavior is normal today, you won't have to come to my classes anymore, how about that?"

[Really? Huazi...]

"Yes."

Lu Mingchuan glanced to the side, secretly pleased.

Now that he didn't have to come here anymore, he was completely free.

The two of them didn't need to prepare anything and left Yue Pavilion directly.

Tang Yuehua watched Lu Mingchuan, whose smile was impossible to suppress, and shook her fist at his back.

Damn it, is he really that happy to be leaving Yue Pavilion?

Why does seeing that radiant smile on Lu Mingchuan's face make me feel so annoyed?

Lu Mingchuan didn't know much about Tang Yuehua, only that she liked to wander around and go on massive shopping sprees whenever she had nothing better to do.

After all, since she couldn't cultivate, the only way she had to pass the time was to shop until she dropped. Unlike him, his soul tool was packed with all sorts of fun things, so he was never bored.

So, Lu Mingchuan stood at the entrance and asked Tang Yuehua.

"Teacher, where are you going to investigate?"

Where to investigate? How should she know? You bastard, you stopped thinking halfway through the plot, so how would she know where you said Yu Xiaogang was going next?

However, Tang Yuehua still looked ahead with an elegant expression, lost in thought.

Based on the information they had just learned, it was clear that Yu Xiaogang was the type who liked to show off his knowledge and play the role of a mentor.

In the South Market of Spirit City, most of the shops sold books, and many people went there to purchase the kind of knowledge points taught in primary academies.

Many newly awakened soul masters, and even those who were confused about various issues, would go to those places that sold ancient texts to consult with knowledgeable people.

For a guy like Yu Xiaogang, that place was paradise.

She pondered for a moment before pointing to the south and saying, "Let's go to the market in the south and see if there are any books suitable for us. Books are just the thing to help you cultivate your character."

[No way, sister, you and I are thinking of the same place. As expected of someone who, aside from her warped ethics, is top-tier in everything else.]

Tang Yuehua ignored his nonsense, accepting all of his praise without hesitation.

It's not for nothing that I'm your teacher; I managed to figure out exactly where you, you brat, were planning to go next just by following the clues.

Tang Yuehua and Lu Mingchuan walked one after the other toward the southern part of Spirit City. Along the way, many people cast their gazes upon the woman with the extraordinary temperament walking in front.

Because of the protection of her Yuehua Domain, the boost it gave to her appearance was the real deal.

[Tang Yuehua really is quite a bit prettier than Dongzi now.]

[Look at that bosom, look at that figure; isn't that just a total slaughter of my Dongzi?]

[It's not that my Dongzi isn't good, it's just that the will of Prime Minister Cao is long-lasting and far-reaching.]

[And she, Tang Yuehua, fits it perfectly.]
