Chapter 282 Hiring a Music Teacher for Peach Blossom Academy
"I'll stay! I want to stay and study at Taoyuan Academy!"

"I...I'm a student at Peach Blossom Academy now! I've gained the teacher's approval! That's fantastic! That's wonderful!"

Xueke cried tears of joy. The thorns on her back no longer hurt when they pierced her skin, and her whole demeanor changed.

The little girl stood up, and in her excitement, she couldn't help but rush into her teacher's arms.

A few seconds later, realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly took a step back, his face flushed with shame and fear, afraid that the teacher would be angry.

But upon closer inspection, I caught a faint scent of peach blossoms emanating from the teacher and couldn't help but take two deep breaths.

An epic experience.

The teacher smells so good, similar to the scent of peach blossoms in the academy, yet quite different. He has the charm of a handsome man, captivating and alluring, making one unable to resist an instinctive impulse.

"Don't be too happy yet. Although I acknowledge you as a student of Peach Blossom Spring, I will only be stricter with you because you are the Princess of Heavenly Dou."

Su Ran had just given her a piece of candy when she poured cold water on her.

However, Xue Ke was full of enthusiasm:

"It's okay. A strict teacher produces outstanding students. This shows that the teacher values ​​it."

Su Ran didn't say much, but with a wave of her hand, she removed the thorns from their backs, and a gentle healing light healed their wounds.

Then he looked at Tang Yuehua:
"I was a little surprised that you came."

"However, since you are here, and are the best musician in the palace, I am willing to hire you as the music teacher of Taoyuan Academy, responsible for giving students occasional music theory and dance classes to relax their studies, and to compose some national music for the Taoyuan Republic."

"However, Peach Blossom Spring may not be able to offer you a very generous annual reward. It can only provide you with a monthly salary of 100 gold soul coins, including room and board, and an annual performance bonus of one first-grade fairy flower. I wonder if you would be willing?"

Tang Yuehua, a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, has been working as a musician in the Heaven Dou Royal Family since the sect retreated to avoid the Spirit Hall's attacks. She is proficient in royal music, possesses a level nine soul power, is a useless soul master, and is born with the noble domain ring. She is dignified and elegant.

Su Ran gave her a chance.

Tang Yuehua's reaction was no less than Xue Ke's. Haotian Sect's behavior had already made them irreconcilable enemies with Taoyuan Academy. Yet, Teacher Su not only didn't expel her, but also tolerated her and gave her enough respect, intending to hire her as a music teacher at Taoyuan Academy.

This...this was something that made Tang Yuehua feel flattered and overwhelmed.

Isn't Teacher Su afraid that he recruited Tang Yuehua, who wanted to destroy Taoyuan Academy to avenge the blood feud of his sect?

Seemingly having seen through the thoughts of the elegant and graceful woman, Su Ran said calmly:
"Don't worry, since I dared to ask, it means I trust you. I'm only recruiting you because I believe in your character; right and wrong are clear to everyone. If you're unwilling, then forget it."

“Yes. I am willing. It would be my honor to become a music teacher at Taoyuan Academy.”

Tang Yuehua quickly nodded and accepted the offer.

It would be wonderful if she could have a place like Taoyuan Academy where she could shine in her later years.

If... if my brother hadn't done something foolish and had been able to select two disciples from the Haotian Sect to study at Taoyuan Academy, perhaps everything would have been different?
Unfortunately, no if.

Tang Yuehua accepted the Peach Blossom Master Token handed over by Dean Su. It was very similar to the one Bibi Dong had received, but Tang Yuehua's token was white bronze. It was the most basic teacher token and did not grant much authority; it was merely a simple symbol of identity.

I wonder if it was just good weather.

At this moment, the sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided, and the sun emerged from the clouds. Its warm rays pierced through the mist and refracted into the sky above Peach Blossom Academy, forming rainbow bridges that curved from one end to the other.

"Go, take the Peach Blossom Token and let Xiao Wu take you to arrange your accommodations."

Su Ran said calmly, without much emotional fluctuation due to Xue Ke's enrollment and the recruitment of a music teacher.

However, the system's rewards resurfaced in his mind:
【Ding~】

[Confirmed Xue Ke's identity as a disciple, accepting her as a royal bloodline disciple with a swan martial soul. Reward: Host's faith base increases by 10%, all soul rings and soul bone age increases by 3%, reward: Ruler of the World...] [Recruited a music teacher for Peach Blossom Academy, activated the academy's broadcasting equipment, activated the host's musical talent, reward: Rare Ultimate Skill: Azure Sea Tide Melody...]

After checking the system rewards, Xue Ke and Tang Yuehua had already left the academy and followed Senior Sister Xiao Wu to arrange their dormitories.

This made Xueke very happy. Previously, she had been paying for her own accommodation in hotels outside the academy, and she had to walk quite a distance to and from the school each time.

Having her own place to live at Taoyuan College is a recognition of her abilities and also brings convenience to her studies.

Su Ran walked to the brush and ink stand, where the desert painting he had just drawn was almost dry.

He held the scroll's axis with both hands, gently rolled it up, and in a flash, appeared in a forest of red maple trees after the rain.

Beneath the fiery red maple leaves, the siblings Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang returned from the Red Maple Academy to the Red Maple Martial Arts Arena for their first sparring session, testing the results of their week of practice.

The powerful rising dragon energy transformed into a wave of fire that surged upwards, scattering countless maple leaves from the sky.

Huo Wushuang had been practicing his fist techniques for over a week, and his fist spirit was well-suited to his body, making considerable progress. His Rising Dragon Fist was quite domineering.

It is said that after reaching the highest level, one becomes like a pillar of heaven and earth, a dragon soaring to the nine heavens and breaking through the sky, incomparably domineering, capable of sending a person flying into the sky with a single punch.

Huo Wu was repeatedly knocked back by Huo Wushuang's Rising Dragon Fist, her arms still suffering from the explosive damage, her skin stinging. She was somewhat annoyed:
"I wish it was a teacher who was talking back to me like that. What are you talking back to? I'll beat you up."

Huo Wushuang rubbed his nose: "Xiao Wu, if you don't know the secrets of my Rising Dragon Fist, then you can't possibly defeat me."

"Huh, that's not necessarily the case."

"The height of a fountain will not exceed its source, and the energy of fire fusion will not exceed the total amount of fire energy."

"Invincible Naruto, Fire Cloud Fist!"

Huo Wu's fists absorbed fire energy, her soul power surged, and her fists looked extremely fierce. When she punched, the space between her fists trembled, and then she quickly exploded, causing a lot of fire damage.

The Fiery Cloud Fist deals massive damage, and its continuous punches resemble a raging, fiery cloud.

Huo Wushuang was somewhat surprised: "Huo Wu, you actually applied the principle of fire fusion to your fist technique?"

"Hmph, it's just that it's not easy to practice real fire fusion in the academy, otherwise I would condense a fusion fire dance sun and let you test its power!"

"My Fire Fission is no less powerful."

Huo Wushuang fired a fire particle that bounced wildly through the fire elemental mass. By sheer chance, it hit Huo Wu, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that sent her flying over a hundred meters away. When she landed, she was still unsteady on her feet and stumbled backward, nearly falling over.

It was a pair of warm hands that supported her shoulders.

Huo Wu turned around and exclaimed in surprise:
"Teacher, why are you here?"

"Teacher, please do it again. I haven't even used my full strength yet. I'm sure I can beat my brother!"

Huo Wu's face changed. Remembering that she had embarrassed herself in front of the teacher, she became unhappy and wanted to fight Huo Wushuang again.

Huo Wushuang stepped forward and quickly bowed to Su Ran:

"Teacher, are you here to check on our learning progress?"

Su Ran nodded, unfolded the desert map in his hand, and tossed it onto the pavilion of the Red Maple Academy's martial arts arena, saying calmly:
"Yes, the teacher came to you because she wants you to draw two suns for her."

"Wu'er, don't you want to beat your brother? If the sun you draw is bigger and brighter than your brother's, then I'll consider you the winner."
