I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 230 Clash of Masters
"Aren't you afraid your grades will drop?"

Mei Mengqian reminded him to speak his mind. At the same time, she reached for a bag of squeezable jelly and gave one to each of the four people in the front row who were staring longingly.

"Thank you, Mengmeng!"

"correct."

"Mengmeng is the best!"

Li Yan sat back down in his seat and pointed to himself upon hearing this.

"As for me, I bought all of these."

"Let Mengmeng thank you."

"Whee!"

Zhu Gelin, who had slipped away as soon as get out of class ended, saw what was happening and immediately remembered that Li Yan had also seemed lost in thought that morning.
The teacher didn't care, and the 'historian' beside him didn't record anything either, so he couldn't help but ask Ye Daijia, whom he had only known for a short time.

"Brother Ye, what's going on with Li Yan? He missed a whole class and the teacher doesn't seem to care?"

"Aren't you envious? He's number one in the whole school." A hint of pride appeared on Ye Daijia's face.

"If this entire group of people are the geniuses on the path to immortality, then he will be the Immortal Emperor at the end of the immortal path!"

Zhu Gelin scratched his neck. "Is it that hard to be number one in the whole school? As far as I know, our school isn't a top-tier high school, is it?"

Hu Weiwen, who was playing Hearthstone while lying on the table, raised his hand and pointed to the information board by the door.

"You'll know if you look at the Immortal Emperor's battle record."

I actually went to take a look, and then I almost lost my Dao heart.

A little over a thousand? Is that even possible for a human to pass an exam?!
Zhu Gelin's expression changed several times before he returned to the back row and continued to question Ye Daijia.

"Brother Ye, do you know which girls in our class are the most wealthy?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ye Daijia looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

"I'm curious, and I want to be in a relationship." Zhu Gelin coughed and looked embarrassed.

"I think it's cheaper for girls with money to play the piano."

Zhang Wei, who had just finished relieving himself, passed by and immediately said, "Wow, bro, let me tell you, the class monitor is the richest, the two next to Li Yan are also rich, and then there's Yu Bing."

"These girls are from well-off families, and a few of them are self-made, like Liang Xueyi and Hu Die. That's all for now. The others are newcomers, and I don't know them."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gelin mentally matched each point and suddenly asked a question.

"Are Liang Xueyi and Hu Die, whom you just mentioned, working for themselves?"

"Pretty much, they're fishpond owners."

Zhu Gelin's expression turned strange, then he broke into a cheerful smile.

"Oh, I see. Thanks. Let's have dinner together tonight, it's on me."

He took out his phone to record it, and just then, a message popped up on the screen.

Can't Eat Rabbit: Honey, why didn't you come to school? Haven't you finished taking care of things at home yet?
Zhu Gelin calmly put away his phone and went to the back corner to reply.

Zhuge: Xiaomo, I'm sorry, I might not be able to go back. I was robbed on the way, and all my money was stolen. The train ticket back to my hometown costs three or four hundred yuan. I'd better find a job first.
Don't eat rabbit: Red envelope transfer of 300
"Don't worry, honey, I got lucky money for Chinese New Year. I'll come pick you up."
Zhuge: Three hundred might not be enough. I haven't eaten all day. Momo, could you transfer me another 200? My husband will pay you back when he gets home.
There was a minute of silence on the other end, and then a message was sent.

"Can't eat the rabbit: Okay then, this is my last New Year's money. Honey, be careful, don't let it get stolen again."

Zhu Gelin clicked "Receive Payment" expressionlessly, then skillfully navigated to the backend, selected the account, blocked it, and deleted it.

This junior from my old high school is just average; in a small county, that's about all the New Year's money you can get.

Moreover, I've entered a wider world, so it's better to let go of the old ways.

Zhu Gelin put away his phone and recorded information about the girls in his class.

The class monitor seems unapproachable, and the two people next to Li Yan are also quite difficult to approach.

Yu Bing? You could give that a try, and so could Ling Ningshan.

However, Ling Ningshan's home is nearby, which isn't ideal.

And those two fishpond owners
Just as Zhu Gelin was thinking this, he heard light footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and met Hu Die's gaze.

"Excuse me, classmate, I need to get something."

Hu Die nodded, feigning indifference.

"Oh."

Zhu Gelin stood beside the storage lockers at the back, indeed blocking several lockers. He stepped back to make way, stroking his chin. "How interesting!"

Li Yan suddenly chuckled, and the pen that had been idly twirling in his hand stopped.

"What's interesting?"

Mei Mengqian looked away from his pen and asked curiously.

"Yeah, Yan-ge, why did you stop spinning it? I feel like if I watched it for another ten seconds, I could learn it!" Xiao Shuai said from the back row.

"Get lost! You won if you waited another ten seconds. Now, I've won!" said Yu Bin, who had just bet with him how long Li Yan would spin.

Li Yan didn't participate in their banter. "I was just thinking, who is stronger, the great genius of a small sect or the little genius of a large sect?"

“That must be from a major sect.” Zhang Wei became interested when the topic of novels came up.

"Major sects have abundant resources; they can find things that people from smaller sects have never seen in their entire lives."

"No!" Ma Liang objected. "Brother Wei, seeing something doesn't necessarily mean you've possessed it. The gap between experience and reality can make people doubt themselves and limit themselves."

“But geniuses from small sects are different. He is confident enough, has a strong will, and is even more capable. “Bad people come from poor and remote places. If he can fight his way out of this kind of place, he can’t be bad.”

Zhang Wei was stunned by what he said.

"No, Ryoko, it's been a whole winter break. How did you become a philosophy master?"

"No, I just put my past experiences into my thinking."

"You're such a show-off."

The conversation among the later participants drifted further and further away from the main topic.

Under Li Yan's observation, Hu Die took Ye Daijia's things from the back bookshelf and returned to her seat.

Five minutes later, it was returned.

Zhu Gelin only exchanged a few glances with her throughout, paying her no further attention, and instead walked out of the classroom.

Tapping on the table, seemingly an ordinary act of picking something up, actually contained a tug-of-war over who would get to know whom first and who would ask for contact information first.

Li Yan really wished there was a speed-up button so he could fast-forward through their scenes.

Unfortunately, class has started.

A female teacher, who looked rather young, walked in, wearing a black coat, with a striking figure and a serious expression.

It was only then that the original group realized...

Li Yan noticed that the moment the teacher entered, Lin Yufan in the first row suddenly lowered her head.

They seem to know each other.

The physics teacher has changed.

"Hello students, my name is Lin Aoshuang, and I am your physics teacher. I graduated from East China Normal University with a master's degree."

Lin Aoshuang finished speaking simply, her stern face devoid of any emotion.

"Alright, let's begin class now, starting with compulsory physics."

Inside the classroom, no one expected the new teacher to be moving at such a fast pace.

They hurriedly opened the book and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"This teacher is so serious!"

"Yes, he seems old-fashioned."

"I think it's fine. Her voice is nice, and her Mandarin is better than my old physics teacher's. What do you think, Fanfan?"

Yu Qingya nudged her friend, but when she saw that her friend was still keeping her head down and not saying a word, she was puzzled.

"Fanfan, what's wrong? Did you get your period? I'll call your teacher for you."

"No! You living father, that's my aunt!"

Lin Yufan's expression turned serious. "Don't talk. My aunt is very strict; she's the type who sticks to the rules to the letter."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Aoshuang said:

"After five minutes of previewing, I'll call on a few people to stand up and answer what this lesson was about."

Lin Aoshuang stood on the podium, her tall figure and expressionless face exuding a powerful aura.

"Zhu Gelin, Lin Yufan, Yu Qingya, Mei Mengqian, Yu Bing, and Li Yan, get up."
