The Beauty and the Swordsman

After less than three days of training, Pei Lingyou had a wonderful time, while everyone else was on the verge of collapse.

Shoumo and Chengui kept complaining, and after each class, the senior students would be furious and start a strike.

In addition, with Pei Lingyou causing such a ruckus, not only were Class A and Class B unable to concentrate on their lessons, but even Class C couldn't listen to the lectures.

Finally, everyone unanimously suggested:

Please send Kuang Ye to teach Class C, and let him instruct that devil Pei Lingyou!

Although everyone witnessed Pei Lingyou thinking about Kuang Ye even in her dreams on the day of the mountain gate assembly, and knew that she harbored ulterior motives towards Kuang Ye and wanted to pursue him.

But everyone was really out of options.

Without pushing Kwong Ye into the "fire pit," his further studies simply cannot proceed properly.

Everyone felt deeply apologetic towards Kuang Ye, and terrified for breaking the century-old rules of the Tongchen Sect. Their faces wore a tragic air, as if they were asking a hero to sacrifice himself.

"Sect Leader! We beg you to come out of seclusion!"

Kuang Ye looked very troubled and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.

After much persuasion and repeated visits, the crowd finally managed to persuade Kuang Ye to come.

Amidst the grateful, apologetic, and blessing gazes of the crowd, Kuang Ye walked briskly and lightly towards Class C.

To be honest, Kuang Ye really knows how to deal with Pei Lingyou.

In that arithmetic and physics class, everyone held several beads and used them to calculate the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, observe Yin and Yang, and strike the beads with a loud clatter.

Pei Lingyou, on the other hand, immediately dismantled the abacus.

In the second half of the class, she spent most of her time researching how to create new beaded plates.

Seeing her pouting and earnestly "dissecting and reassembling" the beaded plate, Kuang Ye neither scolded nor got angry. He simply walked over and asked gently:

"Is the new abacus ready?"

"Just a little bit more, wait a moment." Pei Lingyou didn't have time to look up.

Kuang Yezhen quietly waited on the side.

When she needed tools, he would thoughtfully hand them to her.

When Pei Lingyou finally created a strangely shaped beaded plate that defied the laws of the universe, Kuang Ye took it to examine it and nodded in approval:

"That's a really creative idea, can I have it?"

"Sure! Take it if you like! I'll throw in the pearl plate as a bonus, want it?" Pei Lingyou waved his hand generously, laughing like a playboy.

Kuang Ye's eyes crinkled into crescents. He didn't speak, but simply put away the beaded plate she had made and placed a new beaded plate in front of her.

With her playful nature satisfied, she finally gave up the quiet and began to practice arithmetic seriously.

Shoumo and Chen Gui gave him a thumbs up for his obedient manner.

They usually only see this trick when the little flower is guarding its food, but they also want to take the bones out of its bowl.

He thought to himself, "As expected of Kuang Ye, as expected of the Tongchen Sect leader who specializes in punishing evil and wicked people in the martial arts world!"

Shoumo and Chen Gui regained their confidence and once again suggested going to the wasteland to practice archery and chariot driving.

This time, Pei Lingyou was still playing around with a bow and arrow, "hunting" disciples of the Tongchen Sect everywhere.

But as soon as Kuang Ye stood in front of her and stretched out his hand, she immediately calmed down.

However, they still refused to give him the bow and arrows.

She lightly touched her cheek with her finger, leaned closer to Kuang Ye, raised an eyebrow, and smiled:

"I'll give it to you, but you have to kiss me first."

After a moment's thought, Kuang Ye replied with something that immediately made Pei Lingyou's eyes light up with delight. She obediently presented the bow and arrows with both hands.

In the following lessons on horse riding, poetry, etiquette, and so on, she responded with enthusiasm and initiative, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

Not only that, for several days in a row, Pei Lingyou changed her ways and abandoned her previous unruly behavior.

Not only did he attend classes diligently, sitting upright and looking intently with wide eyes, but he also took the lead in interacting with the teachers.

Whether it was Kuang Ye or any other teacher, whenever they asked a question, regardless of whether she knew the answer or not, Pei Lingyou was always full of enthusiasm and the first to jump up and answer.

When the teacher asked her to do math problems, she buried her head in her work and wrote away, using up three baskets of Xuan paper in half a class period.

Although he didn't get a single question right, at least his attitude was very positive.

When the teacher said a sundial was needed, she immediately dragged Ren Wofei and Zhao Xingxing along, and they ran off to get it.

When the teacher told her to wash the carriage to be used in class, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, picked up a bucket of water, and got to work.

Her "reformed" attitude intrigued Shoumo and Chengui.

I wonder what Kuang Ye promised Pei Lingyou that gave her such great motivation?

She's become a completely different person, so much so that Chen Gui can't find anything wrong with her even if he tries to deduct points from her all the time.

Pei Lingyou seems to have undergone a complete transformation and become an exemplary student.

Everyone in the sect was amazed by her transformation and couldn't help but admire Kuang Ye's skillful methods. He was truly amazing, even managing to subdue a great demon like Pei Lingyou.

Despite his elegant demeanor and calm demeanor, when he teaches and nurtures students in the classroom, he resembles a learned and passionate scholar.

In reality, he is quite shrewd.

Even an uncivilized stray dog ​​would probably have to listen to two lessons before leaving him, and then write an eight-hundred-word reflection on its reformation overnight.

However, not everyone admired Kuang Ye or was pleased with Pei Lingyou's change.

There are always some people in this world who can't stand to see others doing well.

Seeing others improve is more painful than having your flesh cut by a dull knife.

They originally expected that either Kuang Ye would punish Pei Lingyou and make her suffer;

Either Pei Lingyou would infuriate Kuang Ye to death, and in front of all the sects and factions in the martial arts world, she would severely humiliate Kuang Ye.

At the very least, given Pei Lingyou's reputation for womanizing, she could easily cause some unsavory scandals between the two of them.

They were expecting all sorts of worst-case scenarios to happen, but they never imagined that Kuang Ye and Pei Lingyou would be so perfectly in sync.

This was far beyond their expectations.

Hidden malice fuels burning jealousy.

Fan Honglei—the guy who was scared out of his wits by Pei Lingyou at the foot of the mountain when he first entered the Tongchen Sect—has been secretly watching everything.

For Fan Honglei, that scene at the foot of the mountain was an indelible and immense humiliation that he would never forget.

From then on, when others mentioned Fan Honglei, they would not talk about the Liang family, but would repeatedly bring up his pathetic appearance that day, when he was lying on the ground, flailing his limbs and howling in pain, to make fun of him.

Although the representatives of various sects maintained a facade of harmony after joining the Tongchen Sect, they never mentioned what happened that day.

But Fan Honglei could clearly see the mockery hidden in everyone's eyes.

He had become a laughingstock in the martial arts world, and his future was ruined.

He couldn't help but relive the scene at the foot of the mountain every night.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

These past two days, he's been dreaming about how to get revenge and reclaim his rightful reputation.

He sat in the shadows of the corner, staring at Pei Lingyou, who was climbing a tree in the distance to raid a bird's nest.

She jumped around like a monkey.

Several disciples of the Tongchen Sect helped her keep an eye on things:

"Move a little to the right, then a little to the left!"

"Be careful not to break the bird eggs!"

"What genius came up with the idea of ​​having her help birds change their nests? What's the difference between that and asking a wolf to fix a sheep pen?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Kuang Ye said gently.

He stood under the tree, holding a new bird's nest, looking up at Pei Lingyou.

Several disciples of the Tongchen Sect mischievously stuck out their tongues and dared not say another word.

At this moment, Pei Lingyou had already slipped down the tree and carefully delivered the bird's nest to Kuang Ye, then playfully asked Kuang Ye for a reward.

Looking at the scene, Fan Honglei felt increasingly resentful, and his eyes turned hateful:

"Pah, you filthy bitch!"

There were five other people nearby. Although Pei Lingyou hadn't done anything to them, they were still so frightened that they trembled and embarrassed themselves in public. Their resentment was only slightly less than that of Fan Honglei.

The five men pretended to be chatting idly while enjoying the cool air, and responded to Fan Honglei's words:

"Look at the way she treats Kuang Ye, like a bitch in heat!"

"She's flirted with every decent-looking male and female disciple in the entire Tongchen Sect! Even the most attractive representatives from other sects have been teased by her. Yet she completely ignores us, treating us like we're invisible—it's clearly an insult!"

"Damn it, I'll find a chance to deal with her sooner or later! Anyway, everyone's sealed their acupoints now, it's the perfect opportunity!"

"But she's just like us, temporarily sealed away, not dead. Once her inner strength returns, she'll definitely settle accounts with us. The name of that 'Mischievous Pei' from back then..."

"What are you afraid of?" Fan Honglei sneered.

"Back then is back then! We should make her suffer a great loss before we're satisfied. If she comes looking for a fight with us, that would be even better! I think that in the territory of Tongchen Sect, in front of the entire martial arts world, Kuang Ye would dare not come out to uphold justice?"

If he takes charge, Pei Lingyou will have to grit her teeth and accept it; if he doesn't, we can go around telling everyone that the pride of a prestigious martial arts sect is having an affair with the big devil of the Hun Tian Gang!

All five of them agreed with Fan Honglei's words and couldn't help but look at Kuang Ye with amusement.

Looking at Pei Lingyou again, he wished he could tear a piece of flesh off her with his eyes.
