Chapter 40 - Ancient Relic’s Charm and Allure

In the student exchange meet, interaction between students was certainly important, but teacher discussions was also in the interest.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, Ancient Relic, as the teacher in charge, was forcibly spawned into a discussion meeting.

Looking around the venue, there wasn't a single teacher that he knew. Murmurs in the air, along with whispers… he could hear talk about him. They were saying he was just a fatass bookworm who taught history.

Actually, whether he was a student nor teacher, cultivators that specialize in Dao talismans or flying swords, always look down on teachers or history professors.

Even though Ancient Relic was a teacher, most teachers that taught Dao talismans would always look down on history teachers as they apparently had no skill apart tutoring.

He couldn't help but remember his own time as a student. The good ol' days…

He was used to slander and gossip similar to this. And so, he just sighed and was calm. Just thinking about his prime.

The topic of the discussion was about the Pengci gang's update on the newspaper division. 

This was a very big issue, since the Pengci gang supposedly turning themselves in… was just confusing and it spread like wildfire.

"Alright, everyone! Settle down, we're gonna start the meeting now."

The teacher who was the head of the meeting, was No. 89 High School's Director Yue. "Looking at the heated discussion about the Pengci gang… I'm sure everyone has heard about the situation. Although, there are still a few pengci gangs in Xuantai district that are still active and are causing trouble, we don't have to worry about our students going out and encountering Pengci. The focus of this meeting, which the General Management of the 100 Academies put on us, is Madam Liu's reorganization into the 'Grand Harmony Gang' and her arrest days later."

Director Yue's words stirred up discussion again, as teachers exchanged thoughts and words.

Her gaze flickered to Ancient Relic who was just smiling faintly and nodding. For some reason… this made her cheeks burn hotly!

Some even approved of the Grand Harmony Gang. One male teacher nodded, "Yes. The Pengci gang has indeed committed crimes. Including that of theft, scamming, stealing and money laundering. As well as causing us teachers and students massive financial losses, but now that it has rebranded to the Harmony Gang, we won't have to worry about anything! Personally, I think this is excellent."

One female teacher snorted and retorted, "How the hell is it excellent! It's just another way to develop and harass people. By the way, while I was on the way to work this morning, an old lady stopped to lecture me for the whole time… my spirit sword runs electronically, so my battery almost went out!"

The female teacher next to her was startled and asked, "Teacher Lei's sword… runs on electricity? I haven't heard about this in particular…"

"That's right! My spirit sword runs on electricity and needs to be charged regularly! It's the new Chanel flying sword from Taobao!"

The female teacher was especially stroking her hair while she said, "It's a great choice, and it's cheap! Only 130 yuan, I strongly recommend to anyone!"

"That's amazing! Where else can I buy it?"

"Pinduoduo and Dangdang!"

"Only 130 yuan… what a steal!" One teacher exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing this, Director Yue's face turned black. "…"

These bunch of people… weren't even focusing on the matter at hand!

Director Yue Tianshen secretly glanced to Ancient Relic, who seemed like someone who was relaxed and accustomed to the storms and tides of fate. Her lips couldn't help but curl up.

Fortunately, this teacher from the other school hadn't said anything yet!

Trying hard to maintain her temper, she said in a low tone. "… Everyone, please pay attention! Focus on the matter at hand!" 

This director had authority — and with that, teachers there quieted down. At the same time, they gave Ancient Relic a delicate look. 

It was only at this day, when teachers and directors were present, would she ever speak so evenly. If it had been a normal meeting, she would have no problem using her might that shakes the heavens. Radiating her dissatisfaction throughout the room.

Before Xero had step foot at No. 89 High, the object that had been the most vulnerable in that matter was the table at the General Assembly Room. Likely speaking, if Director Yue really got pissed off, multiple tables will be thrown and broken at least.

This round, long table in front of Ancient Relic; was bought a day ago. The other had been… destroyed.

Seeing that things had calmed down, Director Yue sighed in spite of herself.

She felt a sense of fright whenever she thought back to the chaotic meeting that Zunhao had presided the other day.

However, not everyone could have a magnetic field like Misaki's.

Furthermore, Ancient Relic couldn't really imitate or copy Misaki's National Level Beauty magnetic attention.

But, Xero felt that for a fatass, he still had his own personal charm!

Before the exchange meet, Director Yue had thoroughly investigated this fatass — he had been teaching in No. 90 High School for two to four years, and was the teacher with the best reviews. Despite his lingering gentleness, apart from students, outside and inside, Director Yue couldn't understand why students were so drawn to him.

Honestly speaking, the main reason was his ability to switch between two personas. 

For example, when he's teaching or in, "gossip mode" he would act as a friendly, easy-going person. But, that did not mean that he was directly an aloof man… that's where the next persona comes in, "aesthetic mode"

What was an aesthetic youth? 

He would say things inexplicable, and speak with reason and intent briefly… at first, it would seem like bullshit, but as you think it over, it would make sense!

Xero liked Ancient Relic's second persona more. Because he would learn plenty of quotes from him.

Unfortunately, this "sharp" side didn't come often. 

And so, the moment Ancient Relic had left for the meeting, Xero was in the boy's dormitory room, secretly observing him with Divine Buddha Eye.

It was very obvious that Director Yue had remedied all the teacher's behavior, the focus had shifted to this teacher from the other school, Ancient Relic.

The meeting venue was silent.

The early morning hue and breeze swept over the venue, as Ancient Relic was enjoying the breeze.

Director Yue stared blankly for a bit… she felt that this fatty was also kind of handsome in some sense!

Ancient Relic gazed at the tabletop, which coincidentally reflected Director Yue.

At this point, Director Yue couldn't remain composed: Is he staring at my reflection..? Does that mean he.. likes me!? Otherwise, why is he staring…

"…"

Ancient Relic was staring at the table, at this moment Xero couldn't mock since he didn't have the strength to. This was clearly rude! Who the hell would stare at someone's face reflection during an important meeting! 

Faced with Director Yue Tianshen, Xero's feelings were very complicated. It was evident that this old woman in love was making up scenarios in her head…

… Hold on! 

In love…?

Ancient Relic had always been the type whose appearance could withstand inspection, and he was the type who looked more handsome with every additional look… This was what Xero meant by Ancient Relic's charm.

Then.

Four minutes passed…

Director Yue still hadn't asked any questions despite, and only felt her face grow even hotter with each glance at Ancient Relic. She felt that her soul was as her name foretold, truly like a maiden in search of affection.

Ancient Relic's glance still hadn't redirected, and he was still looking at her reflection. Director Yue was blushing with complete shyness… she had never been stared at this long by a man before.

Some teachers wondered why Director Yue's face suddenly turned red…

Twelve minutes passed…

Still it was silent.

Then…

Nineteen minutes passed…

Xero: "…"

Ancient Relic's hair was fluttering with the gentle wind. With soft, tender eyes, he looked at Director Yue. "Director Yue, is there something wrong?"

Director Yue's eyes widened a little… that magnetic tone… was too good to resist!

Director Yue immediately looked away in shyness. "Ah~ Sorry, I didn't mean too…"

Everyone in the room was stunned…!

What the hell was that?! 

And what the heck was with that "ah" sound!?

By the way, her infatuated and enchanted expression was further caused by the fatty?! What the hell, was this love at first sight!? The f**k is this plot progression! This isn't those romantic novels on Qidian!

Xero was still bewildered. "…"

Well, in that case… Ancient Relic really was just Ancient Relic. This wasn't that Crimson Vein Grotto, but Ancient Relic had managed to crack the toughest almond at No. 89 High.

Ancient Relic, with his chad of a face, calmly nodded.

This time, the situation was now a bit awkward… and the aesthetic youth had to come to the rescue.

In that moment, he said what probably stunned everyone's hearts.

"The wind is truly strong today…"

Apart from Ancient Relic and Director Yue, who were enchanted by the aesthetic atmosphere, most teachers there could suddenly feel the temperature in the room drop…
