"Is Dean Xin's power monstrous? Truly amazing. I never thought that the usually gentle Dean Xin would have such a fierce side. If that punch landed on a person, even I would probably be turned into a meat paste…"
Dugu Bo, lying on a rocking chair at the school gate, squinted at the sky, then suddenly sat up in surprise. He looked closely and saw Xin had blasted open the sky, his face filled with shock.
He had been too conservative. His estimation of Xin's strength had been too conservative.
Since returning from the Soul Master Competition, Dean Xin's strength had reached a whole new, terrifying level.
Near Dugu Bo, there was also a beautiful woman wearing a golden hoop and plain clothes, sweeping fallen cherry blossoms in the academy.
It was Liu Erlong, who had returned with Ning Rongrong as her Sect's personal protector. She lived in the guest rooms on the outskirts of the academy and occasionally helped Dugu Bo care for the academy's flowers and plants and clean the environment.
Hearing the commotion in the sky, Liu Erlong looked up, and her eyes, which seemed to have abandoned worldly desires, instantly shot out golden light: "Teacher Xin… Teacher Xin actually has such a state? He looks so mighty, like… he's about to…"
Liu Erlong's sweeping motion abruptly stopped, her body broke out in goosebumps, and even her fiery dragon saliva steamed out.
"Ah~"
But the golden hoop on her head suddenly constricted. The broom clattered to the ground, and Liu Erlong writhed in pain, her entire body twisted in the pile of cherry blossoms.
"I heard about your situation from Yaner. Although your Golden Triangle can't be considered first-rate figures, you are somewhat famous. I didn't expect there to be such a story between you."
"The golden hoop on your head is restricting your desires. Even at this moment, can you still not forget that so-called Grandmaster?"
Dugu Bo glanced at Liu Erlong, not sympathizing with her plight, but merely asking indifferently.
After a long while, Liu Erlong finally recovered from her pain. She picked up the broom again, swept the scattered leaves back together, and after a moment of hesitation, finally looked at Dugu Bo and said a short sentence: "You are wrong. I am not having a headache because of that person."
After speaking, Liu Erlong slowly swept deeper into the cherry blossom path, saying nothing more to Dugu Bo.
They say setbacks make people grow, and perhaps that is the case for Liu Erlong now.
Perhaps, being able to stay at Heart of Fire Academy, as a sweeping woman, and occasionally glance at Dean Xin from afar, is not without its own kind of happiness?
With Teacher Xin here, this place is a true paradise on earth.
Looking at his face?
Perhaps so.
