For this reason, he even spent a lot of effort inviting Long Xian, one of the Four Gods of Lanca, to teach Tong Xieyi.
Unfortunately… Tong Xieyi had failed him so much.
Clap, clap, clap. The applause reached them before the person clapping arrived. A moment later, a slim young woman dressed in black walked in. She was wearing a mask, and her eyebrows were raised as she looked at Tong Xieyi. “Sister, you did so well today. You actually lost to a newcomer in Lanca.”
Tong Qin, Tong Ang’s adopted daughter.
Tong Xieyi persisted. “Didn’t Team Leader Ding lose to her too?”
“Enough!” Tong Ang slapped the table. “Even at this point, Tong Xieyi, you’re still unrepentant. A loss is a loss! Can Ding Lan be your excuse for losing?”
Tong Xieyi lowered her head, her eyes glistening. “I wouldn’t dare.”
A look of triumph came over Tong Qin’s face.
“And you, Tong Qin, don’t forget your identity! Intent is the true bloodline of the Tong family.”
Tong Qin looked down. “Yes.”
But her eyes were clearly filled with indignation.

Early in the morning, Sheng Yang arrived at Lanca Academy. There was only a little more than two weeks before her departure date.
She looked up and saw a long banner stretched across the doorway of the class.
‘Congratulations to Teacher Sheng Yang for successfully defeating the research institute in the mechanical research competition and winning first place!’
Sheng Yang’s temples throbbed.
This was as high-profile as one could be. These people were too young and unrestrained!
“Whose idea was it?” Sheng Yang suddenly asked as soon as she entered the class.
When she asked, everyone thought she was angry. None of them dared make a sound until Lan Yu stood up and walked straight to her. “It’s me!”
His eyes were steady as he raised his hand.
Sheng Yang just rubbed her head, then more students stood up. “Teacher, I helped make the banner too.”
“I put up the banner.”
“And I…”
There was another figure who eventually rose to his feet. He rose very quietly.
Previously, he was just watching all of them. It could be said that the competition that day was enough to shock him for the rest of his life.
“Ding Xing.” Lan Yu looked at him with a troubled gaze.
Ding Xing suddenly wailed, “Teacher Sheng, I’m sorry. I was short-sighted. I was stupid. I was snobbish. I…”
He rambled on and on like an old lady.
When he realized that no one was listening, he rubbed his eyes and sat down.
…
During lunch, someone suddenly sat quietly beside Sheng Yang. It was Teacher Liu Hao, whom Sheng Yang had helped the other day.
Liu Hao really admired Sheng Yang and wanted to get close to her. However, because of her aura and shocking ability, he felt timid. After thinking for a while, he decided to start with a joke. “Miss Sheng, I know you have a boyfriend, but do you mind having one more?”
When a straightforward man met a blunt woman, things would become complicated.
“Huh?” Sheng Yang rested her chin on her hand. “I have to ask my boyfriend about that.”
“Miss Sheng, are you serious? I… I was just joking.”
“I’d better ask.”
“Miss Sheng, no!” Liu Hao wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not know who Miss Sheng’s boyfriend was, but he was sure that he was not simple. He did not want to be hunted down by the entire world.
At night, Sheng Yang chatted with Yi Juncheng about this.
Yi Juncheng narrowed his eyes, but he could still grasp the key point. “Then what do you think about it?”
