Chapter 48: Zhang Lexuan Becomes Lin Qinghan's Homeroom Teacher
Huo Yutong saw Wang Dong as a noble, so she didn't dwell on the issue. What she should focus on now was her own food and clothing.
After being rescued, she didn't just absorb the soul ring of the soul beast. With her frugal character, she naturally didn't waste the body of the soul beast. However, because the beast was too large compared to her, she could only cut off its fur and take it with her, dragging it all the way to the city. There, she exchanged it for dozens of gold soul coins.
She lived on those few soul coins for half a year until she joined Shrek Academy and paid the registration fee.
"The remaining money won't last for long. Maybe I should open a snack stand at the school gate?" Huo Yutong thought as she counted the few remaining soul coins, trying to figure out how to use them. No matter how she calculated, it seemed like she didn't have enough. In her distress, she thought of Lin Qinghan.
"Maybe I should ask Lin Qinghan to borrow some?"
On the other side, after Wang Dong bought the food for herself and Lin Qinghan, she headed back to the dormitory.
As soon as Wang Dong entered, she saw Lin Qinghan fiddling with a strange metal object that looked like a backpack, as if he had just taken it off his back.
"What is this? A soul guide?" Wang Dong asked.
Wang Dong had grown up in the Haotian Sect, which, despite its wealth, was a very exclusive and ancient sect. She hadn't seen many soul guides before.
"It's just a flying soul guide," Lin Qinghan replied.
He knew that Wang Dong might have a strong aversion to soul guides, so he quickly put it away. He had simply been curious and wanted to test the performance of the flying soul guide he made, but under the influence of his spiritual power, the results were disappointing. The strong airflow it generated messed up the dorm room he had just cleaned.
"Did you move my bed?" Wang Dong asked, noticing the tidier appearance of her bed.
Lin Qinghan, however, didn't explain much. "I just made a mess by accident."
"Okay, but next time, if there's a mess, don't move things. I'll do it myself," Wang Dong said, a little helpless. She couldn't really get angry with him since she knew Lin Qinghan wouldn't do it intentionally, and she was also a bit in awe of him.
The next day, it was time for Shrek Academy to officially start school. Lin Qinghan and Wang Dong went to the freshman class together and became deskmates.
Around them, almost all the students were little girls, each eager to talk to Wang Dong and Lin Qinghan.
After several years of development and the merging of Bingdi's soul power, Lin Qinghan had become a handsome boy, with a slightly mature aura that attracted the opposite sex of his age.
Wang Dong, a beautiful girl in her own right, had a feminine aura, even though she wore men's clothes. While she wasn't as attractive as Lin Qinghan, she still caught the attention of many of the other girls.
In the back corner of the classroom, Huo Yutong, who was seated by the window, looked at Lin Qinghan, who was about to be surrounded by a group of female classmates, and thought about how she might ask Lin Qinghan for money later.
'The development of teenagers in Douluo Continent is really advanced,' Huo Yutong thought as she watched the gazes of the other girls around Lin Qinghan, who could barely hide their expressions.
Soon, class began, and the room quieted. Footsteps were heard outside the classroom, and a figure that surprised Lin Qinghan entered.
"Hello, students. I am your class teacher, Zhang Lexuan. You can call me Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Lexuan stood at the podium, looking directly at Lin Qinghan, whose face was filled with surprise. A smile gleamed in her eyes.
Lin Qinghan had been admitted to Shrek Academy with a recommendation letter from Zhang Lexuan, so she knew of his admission the very next day. After hearing the news, Zhang Lexuan immediately requested to be assigned to teach Lin Qinghan's class.
Because Zhang Lexuan's previous class had performed exceptionally well, she was transferred to the sixth grade once the term began. Tang Ya was still in the fourth grade, so Zhang Lexuan took the opportunity to become the homeroom teacher for the freshman class, pushing out the previous teacher.
As the youngest member of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan, although still just an ordinary teacher in the external courtyard, had enough authority to secure this change. Therefore, she became Lin Qinghan's homeroom teacher, and if nothing unusual happened, she would remain so until either Zhang Lexuan became a Title Douluo or Lin Qinghan left.
As for the former class teacher, rumors said she had been transferred to the Soul Guidance Department to find her husband.
Lin Qinghan stared at Zhang Lexuan, her smile not hidden in the slightest. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't resist. On the contrary, he thought it was convenient since it would make things easier if his teacher was someone he knew.
"Sister Lexuan, you don't mind if I skip classes often, right?" Lin Qinghan joked, connecting with Zhang Lexuan through his spiritual stance.
Once Lin Qinghan had used his spiritual connection soul skill on someone, he could maintain the connection without their consent.
"Skipping classes doesn't make you a good student," Zhang Lexuan replied, her smile widening as she spoke. "I'm your head teacher now. You should call me Teacher Zhang. Be careful or I'll punish you."
Zhang Lexuan finished introducing herself to the students. Despite her serious tone, she still responded playfully to Lin Qinghan's comment.
In the first class, Zhang Lexuan didn't put any pressure on the students, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lighthearted.
"Lin Qinghan, you have the highest soul power in our class. You'll be the monitor of the freshman class from now on."
Immediately, the boys in the class turned their attention to Lin Qinghan. Zhang Lexuan was a good teacher, and she had quickly gained the favor of all the students in the class. Many of them wanted to be the class monitor, and at the end of the class, she made her decision.
Lin Qinghan immediately stood up.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm too busy and not suited to be the monitor. I recommend Huo Yutong to take on the role, and I'll just be the deputy monitor."
Lin Qinghan didn't want to get involved in class affairs, and it was clear that Zhang Lexuan wanted to increase her interaction with him. So he quickly recommended Huo Yutong instead.
"Really? Huo Yutong, please stand up. Are you willing to be the class monitor?"
"Yes, I am willing to be the monitor. I will take responsibility for everyone," said a petite blue-haired girl as she stood up, nodding to Zhang Lexuan.
Huo Yutong recognized Zhang Lexuan as one of the two people who had saved her half a year ago. She was a little excited, but seeing that Zhang Lexuan didn't recognize her, she held back her emotions.
"Okay, Huo Yutong, please take a seat. From now on, Huo Yutong will be your class monitor, and Lin Qinghan will be the deputy class monitor."
Although Zhang Lexuan was curious why Lin Qinghan had recommended Huo Yutong—the weakest student in the class—as the monitor, she agreed to the arrangement.
