Just as Wu Zhangkong had thought.
Although Leng Hanyuan held the title of teacher, he had not actually taken on much teaching responsibility.
Class Five's regular lessons were still led by Wu Zhangkong.
After all, Leng Hanyuan had only come to accomplish his own goal.
He did not truly have any passion for being a teacher.
Even so, quite a few people, drawn by Leng Hanyuan's reputation, tried every possible way to transfer into Class Five midway through the year.
However, Yu Zhen, that old fox, knew how to behave.
After receiving Leng Hanyuan's hint, he rejected every one of them.
"Teacher Leng, you're absolutely right. That child's parents are simply disgusting!"
"Those who give birth but do not raise their children are unfit to be parents!"
As he listened to Leng Hanyuan casually tell a story about parents who gave birth to a child but never raised him, Tang Wulin clenched his fists, utterly disgusted by such behavior.
No matter the reason, it could never justify parents giving birth to their child and then refusing to raise him!
Seeing Tang Wulin's righteous indignation, a trace of amusement flashed through Leng Hanyuan's eyes.
After days of "intentional yet unintentional" shaping of his worldview, young Tang Wulin's values were already taking shape in the direction Leng Hanyuan desired.
At that moment, Tang Wulin had no idea that the story Leng Hanyuan had told about parents who gave birth but did not raise their child was about his own biological parents.
Still viewing things as an outsider, he condemned and raged at those irresponsible parents.
Watching everything proceed smoothly, Leng Hanyuan knew that the divine consciousness Tang San had left inside Tang Wulin's body had yet to be triggered.
After all, if Tang San knew about those "coincidences" he had mentioned to Tang Wulin, he could not possibly remain indifferent.
So Leng Hanyuan would take this opportunity to plant a few more seeds in Tang Wulin.
"Wulin."
"Mm, Teacher Leng, what's wrong?"
Tang Wulin raised his head, his eyes, as beautiful as a girl's, looking at Leng Hanyuan in confusion.
Although Leng Hanyuan had not taught them much.
The extraordinary things he casually displayed in everyday life had already made Tang Wulin admire him.
Tang Wulin's previous goal had been Wu Zhangkong.
Now, Leng Hanyuan had become his goal.
Wu Zhangkong's strength had elevated Tang Wulin's understanding to a new level.
Leng Hanyuan's strength, meanwhile, had given Tang Wulin his first impression of the most powerful experts on the continent.
"From my observations over this period, there seems to be something strange inside your body."
Leng Hanyuan frowned, putting on a "puzzled" expression.
Hearing this, Gu Yue looked at Leng Hanyuan with some disbelief.
Of course, she knew about the abnormality within Tang Wulin's body.
It was nothing more than the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, which had come from who knew where.
Gu Yue had never told Leng Hanyuan about this, yet he had somehow noticed it himself.
And...
Looking at the "confusion" on Leng Hanyuan's face, Gu Yue's instincts told her that this guy was acting again.
He definitely already knew what the abnormality inside Tang Wulin's body was!
However, Gu Yue did not expose him at that moment.
"Something strange?"
Tang Wulin scratched the back of his head.
An innocent smile spread across his lips.
"Teacher Leng, there are indeed some ways in which I'm different from ordinary people."
Tang Wulin recalled his inborn strength and the changes in his soul spirit, Golden Scale.
Then he thought of Leng Hanyuan's formidable strength.
For a moment, he also felt that there might truly be something special within his body.
Then, seeing the concern that "inadvertently" appeared on Leng Hanyuan's face, Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat.
He was only a child, after all.
Seeing such an important figure as Leng Hanyuan reveal that expression, he naturally began to panic.
"Teacher Leng, what's wrong?"
"Is the thing inside my body dangerous?"
Tang Wulin looked at Leng Hanyuan nervously.
Leng Hanyuan pursed his lips and shook his head.
"I'm not entirely sure."
"But I can sense the enormous threat posed by that thing lurking inside your body."
"Once it erupts, with your cultivation, I'm afraid you'll die without even a burial place."
"However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. If you can make it your own, it will most likely bring you an extraordinary opportunity as well."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin's face turned a little paler.
Die without even a burial place?
He instinctively ignored everything that came afterward, while Leng Hanyuan's words echoed endlessly in his mind.
Words like that from a peak expert were simply too shocking for a child.
For a moment, even steady-tempered Tang Wulin lost his composure.
"How could that be?"
"How could there be something like that inside my body..."
Tang Wulin muttered softly.
His body trembled slightly.
This information was simply too cruel for a nine-year-old child.
Xie Xie, who was extremely close to Tang Wulin, also turned pale.
He had never imagined that such a bomb was hidden inside his friend's body.
"I don't know, but that power probably doesn't belong to you."
"Instead, it was forcibly suppressed inside your body through some method."
Leng Hanyuan revealed a little more at just the right moment.
Everything he said was true.
He had merely used a bit of verbal artistry to create a slight misdirection.
Even Gu Yue did not notice anything unusual.
Because from her perspective, everything Leng Hanyuan said was indeed the plain truth.
The Golden Dragon King's bloodline had never belonged to Tang Wulin.
And if it erupted, it truly would leave Tang Wulin dead without even a burial place.
"It doesn't belong to me... It was forcibly suppressed inside my body..."
Confusion filled Tang Wulin's large eyes.
He could not understand who could be so cruel as to destroy him in such a vicious way.
He had clearly never offended anyone.
For a moment, fear and a trace of resentment were born in Tang Wulin's young heart.
Sensing the change in Tang Wulin's emotions, a gleam of triumph that no one noticed flashed through Leng Hanyuan's eyes.
He spoke again at just the right moment, reaching out to ruffle Tang Wulin's little head.
"It's all right."
"When soldiers come, we block them with generals; when water comes, we block it with earth."
"I'll help you think of a solution."
"If you notice anything strange in the future, tell me immediately. Understand?"
Leng Hanyuan spoke softly in a "pitying" voice.
His words were like a beam of light, tearing through the darkness brought by Tang Wulin's sudden threat of death.
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. As though he had grasped a lifeline, he nodded repeatedly.
"Mm!"
That's right, there's still Teacher Leng!
To the nine-year-old Tang Wulin, Leng Hanyuan, a legendary figure, was the most capable person he had ever met.
With his help, perhaps he could deal with the hidden ticking bomb inside his body!
For a moment, Tang Wulin's reliance on Leng Hanyuan reached its peak.
When he looked at Gu Yue, Leng Hanyuan's student in name, there was even a little more envy in his gaze.
