"Sister Dugu Yan, why do the senior sisters seem so strange towards Mr. Xin? It feels like... they don't treat Mr. Xin as a teacher, but as... a boyfriend!"
"You'll get used to it. I'm already used to it. Moreover, Mr. Xin is indeed charming."
"Then why does Mr. Xin always wear a mask?"
"This... I don't know the reason either, maybe Mr. Xin has his own considerations."
"Sister Dugu Yan, you haven't even seen Mr. Xin's face once in over a year at the Academy, have you?!"
"This... um..."
Two days later.
Heaven Dou City, core urban area, a detached villa park—Heart of Fire . This was specially named by Ning Fengzhi for the Heart of Fire Academy teachers and students' residence.
The female students of Heart of Fire Academy returned with gift bags and food, their faces bright with youthful cheer.
Only Ye Lingling, who had just enrolled, looked at Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and Xiao Wu with strange expressions, full of confusion.
Only one day remained until the start of the Spirit Master Competition.
Staff from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School delivered two cherry wood boxes to the Heart of Fire teachers and students.
In these last two days, Xin did not let the students continue training, but instead let them relax, stroll around Heaven Dou City, and enjoy themselves. They had just returned at this time.
They had worked hard for over a year. Continuing intense training right before the competition would be counterproductive; it was better to have a calm mind and a good mood. Just performing at their usual level would be enough.
Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran, those two girls, loved to drag Xin to go shopping. Although Xin disliked noisy and bustling places, he still accompanied them once.
As soon as the Heart of Fire Academy team appeared on the street, they became a beautiful sight. Besides Bell, the honest disciple, Mr. Xin had an extraordinary temperament and an immortal demeanor, and the six disciples were all beautiful as flowers, each with unique charm. Even in Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital, they were outstanding, with a 100%Return Rate (turn-back rate).
The first priority for girls going shopping: buy beautiful clothes.
While dragging Mr. Xin shopping, Ning Rongrong also bore an important reproductive task assigned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
She couldn't let the healer Ling Xiaoqi monopolize Mr. Xin's heart. She had to figure out Mr. Xin's preferred outfits and aesthetic! To get a handle on Mr. Xin!
So Xin was very passively dragged by the students to watch an exciting fashion show.
[Ning Rongrong transforms into a professional pink female teacher, using a reverse tactic to tease the strict teacher.]
[Zhu Zhuqing shyly tries a creamy sweet style, with her ample chest almost bursting out, provoking imagination, *chu mi*~]
[Meng Yiran transforms into a sexy dark queen, her smooth jade back making people exclaim that it would be a pity not to get cupping.]
[Xiao Wu in a fiery bikini, demonstrating her supple waist skills to Mr. Xin, yoga poses making people blush.]
[Big man Bell in a leopard print skirt, making the girls laugh, Mr. Xin was once breathless.]
[...]
This was the reason for Ye Lingling's great shock.
Senior sisters, isn't our school motto to respect teachers and value the Dao?
Why are you enticing teachers and rushing the Dao?
...
Just on the day before the competition, the Heart of Fire Academy's team uniforms and school uniforms were also custom-made and personally sent by Ning Fengzhi.
Two wooden boxes, each containing twenty sets of male and female school uniforms and team uniforms.
The Heart of Fire Academy's school uniforms and team uniforms were all designed by Xin himself, with the patterns woven and embroidered by the artisans of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The main color scheme adopted elegant "Cloud White," accented with "Cherry Blossom Spring Pink" trim, echoing the name of Heart of Fire Academy. The school emblem, a hot-stamped Cherry Blossom , was embroidered on the chest.
The girls' school uniforms were flowing long dresses, ancient and ethereal, with gradually fading pink cherry blossom tassel ribbons adorning the sides. The boys wore gentlemanly ancient robes, embroidered with cherry blossom.
As for the team uniforms, to facilitate Spirit Master duels, they were designed with the concept of "Blazing Splendor, Forged Sword into Poetry." The overall design adopted gradient "Female Rosy Cloud Pink" and "Male Dark Night" as the main colors, making them looser. When standing, they resembled elegant blossoming cherry; when moving, they were like divine swords unsheathed.
