Chapter 685 - 684: Visitors from the Lao Family
"Damn you, just wait, I won’t let you off." At this moment, Lao Guoqiang was completely out of strength. This unexpected attack left him defenseless.
He never thought that someone as strong as a Yellow Dao four-star would be caught directly by such a young guy.
Moreover, not only was he caught, but he also ended up getting injured. The thought of it all was quite frustrating, but he couldn’t blame anyone else; he could only blame himself for being too careless.
"Ding dong....."
The class bell finally rang, and Chen Tianlong, not wanting to concern himself with much else, followed the two girls upstairs. As for Lao Guoqiang, Chen Tianlong couldn’t be bothered.
When Chen Tianlong and Lu Xiaoyu sat down in their seats, they glanced at Xu Fei near the door, who seemed very calm. For some unknown reason, Xu Fei had become much more obedient lately, but Chen Tianlong knew this was only temporary.
"Good morning, classmates!"
This lesson was Shen Yan’s English class, and everyone had to be attentive. After all, with a pretty teacher coming in to teach, no one could lose face.
"Good morning, teacher!" the students replied in unison.
"Hehe...."
Shen Yan, seeing everyone being so respectful, gave a sweet smile. That smile almost enchanted every person present, leaving them in a dream-like state.
Chen Tianlong was no exception, staring blankly at Shen Yan for a while, and at this moment, Shen Yan also happened to look in Chen Tianlong’s direction.
By pure coincidence, their eyes met. At that moment, Shen Yan’s face turned red in an instant, but she soon regained her composure.
Shen Yan was truly remarkable; her ability to control her emotions was so strong that she could be an actress.
Chen Tianlong smirked a little, having noticed Shen Yan’s reaction. Although it was just a fleeting moment, he could tell Shen Yan had feelings for him.
At this moment, Xiaoyu spoke up, "Chen Tianlong ge, I really don’t want to call you out, but you actually dare to peek at Teacher Shen in front of Mengting jie?"
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong was slightly taken aback, realizing Xiaoyu was teasing him again, so he smiled slightly and said, "Xiaoyu, I’ll take you out for barbecue this weekend."
"Haha, alright!"
Lu Xiaoyu immediately stopped talking, but Wu Mengting next to her was displeased. She had seen the change in Shen Yan’s face earlier and knew there must be something going on between the two, and she was quite upset that Chen Tianlong was hiding it from her.
So, Wu Mengting deliberately glared at Lu Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, "Tianlong ge, please don’t always try to buy me off with this kind of method. Xiaoyu has principles, even though I’m a foodie, but foodies also have their dignity. I can’t help you this time, retreat!"
Upon hearing Lu Xiaoyu’s words, Chen Tianlong almost burst out laughing, but seeing Wu Mengting beside him fuming with anger, he didn’t dare to laugh, so he could only say somewhat gloomily, "I didn’t! I just accidentally saw it earlier."
"Oh, I see."
Lu Xiaoyu didn’t intend to cause trouble, so she left it at that.
"Classmates, let’s settle down; I have something to tell you."
Shen Yan spoke up at this moment. At the start of class, it was normal for everyone to be a bit noisy. That’s how high school is; the first five minutes of class are usually spent finding textbooks, flipping through pages, and all sorts of noise.
So Shen Yan continued, "In over twenty days, we’ll have our first monthly exam. Everyone, please pay attention to your studies. Starting next week, I’ll outline the main test points for the exam, and it will depend on you whether you can pass or not."
"Wow...."
The classroom erupted, filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. After all, this exam was their first of the new term and was very important because it was related to the parents’ meeting.
So during this time, students who usually didn’t work hard would rush to the library to cram. They were hoping to conquer it within the month, at least not to fail.
Meanwhile, others would quickly prepare cheat sheets of important content, ready to use various cheating methods to cope with the exam.
However, they had their tricks, and the teachers weren’t slack either. With years of experience in preventing cheating, many students would still find it hard to escape the invigilators’ eyes during the exam. No matter the tactics, it was very likely they’d be caught.
"Everyone, don’t be too nervous. As long as you take notes during class and highlight the points I mention, there should be no problem," Shen Yan said deliberately to ease the atmosphere.
The students nodded, and Wu Mengting also began to concentrate. Even the sly elf Lu Xiaoyu took out her small notebook to take notes.
Actually, Xiaoyu’s grades were quite good, just like Lin Wushuang—an intelligent girl who got into South Sea No.1 Middle School based on her ability in junior high.
And Lin Wushuang was not only the class beauty but also the top student. Chen Tianlong smiled wryly. To be honest, he understood the content, but the exam questions were slightly different from what he understood on a regular basis.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong couldn’t let Sir Chen down, so he also started flipping open his book to study.
Before long, Shen Yan was on the podium with animated expressions, explaining the English questions thoroughly. Everyone was very focused.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong finally understood the power of a beautiful woman’s charm. As they say, a kind-hearted beauty is the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Looking at Shen Yan’s charming figure, Chen Tianlong got a little distracted.
This kind of life he had never experienced before, but unknowingly he had reached this point. Whether it was good or bad, a life too peaceful would be fraught with danger, compelling one to seize every moment to become stronger.
The knowledge Shen Yan explained on the board, Chen Tianlong basically understood and could extrapolate from.
When Lao Guoqiang returned to the classroom, his thigh was still aching. He gritted his teeth, pondering how to get back at him when a phone call after class changed his plans. Originally, he was thinking about how to get his uncle to help deal with Chen Tianlong.
"Hello, dad! Do you have something to talk about?"
Seeing Lao Shangshan’s call, Lao Guoqiang felt a bit complicated. The day he was sent out to South Sea, he was somewhat angry, but now seeing a classroom full of beauties, Lao Guoqiang suddenly felt it wasn’t so bad.
But in general, his father was somewhat harsh on him. Although the current treatment was excellent, being kicked out at that moment left Lao Guoqiang still resentful.
"Xiaoqiang, must your dad have a reason to call you?"
Lao Shangshan was a bit speechless. Isn’t it a given for a father to call his son? He continued, "Alright, I want to tell you something very important. According to Elder Hao’s information, three international experts are coming, and they’re heading to South Sea No.1 Middle School to participate in the world tour martial arts competition for high school students."
"Ah? Dad, are you serious?"
Lao Guoqiang was overjoyed. He had heard about foreigners coming to challenge the ring during the morning registration, but didn’t know they were acquaintances of his dad, which meant he could use them to his advantage.
"It’s true. Before these people came to Huaxia, they had already connected with Elder Hao, the local contact. Master Han and I just discussed it as well. Once they arrive in South Sea City, they’ll notify you immediately. I’ve already given them your phone number. Just don’t hang up if you see an unfamiliar call," Lao Shangshan instructed.
"I see, will they listen to me?"
Lao Guoqiang was a bit excited. If he could control them, he would surely be a prominent figure in school, and the guy who bullied him this morning would definitely be crushed by him.
