Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

Ying Qin Guan was so thick-skinned and confident that he coughed twice and said, "Me too...me too, it's important."

Jiu Yi was much more flamboyant. He interlaced his fingers, looked mysterious, and said, "Top secret of the empire. Don't ask. If you ask, I can't tell you."

"Does the Dean think he's some kind of legendary Nephalem spy? Although you two seem to have a good relationship..." Nocturne chuckled lightly, not dwelling on the matter.

She was a sensible person and didn't ask Mu Nandong what his so-called important business was. As for Ying Qin Guan and Jiu Yi... even the driver could tell they didn't have anything important to do, let alone Ye Qu and Mu Nandong.

"What are you afraid of?"

In the airport waiting area, Shenxin Duiyu Xietian held up a small blackboard.

“I feel a little guilty,” Yu Xietian said. “We were greedy and took on two jobs in a row. Now we’ve tricked these two people into coming here to be conscripts. Isn’t that a bit wrong?”

—They went to see Jiu Yi and Ying Qin Guan one after the other. Neither of them had actually decided where to go. But Shen Xin had a sudden idea and tricked one of them and the other, eventually managing to trick both of them into coming.

"What are you so guilty about?"

Shenxin raised the small blackboard with disdain.

"They should thank me. Jiu Yi was running around on official business those two days, and we even delivered his documents to him. He himself didn't know where he was going. If we had just randomly chosen someone, it would have been almost impossible for him to run into Ying Qin Guan. Neither of them had any cards to play, but we helped them reunite!"

— Jiu Yi was indeed running errands for the past two days and was also struggling with where to go. But with the end of the semester approaching, he suddenly had a lot more things to do and didn't have time to go back to school to ask Ying Qin Guan where he was planning to go (and he was too embarrassed to ask anyway). Then, after hearing what Shen Xin said, he went to the snow mountain.

"No...you can't calculate it like that." Yu Xietian's moral standards were clearly far superior to that of Shen Xin, that despicable person. "Lying is wrong..."

"Tsk...you're being so fussy, like a woman. Since I dared to do this, I can handle it perfectly. Just you wait and see!"

"Really? I don't believe it. I think you're going to get utterly thrashed by him."

"Hmph..."

As the two were talking, the four members of the Imperial Court who had been on the same flight as them also arrived at the waiting area.

Chapter Six: This is Life

When needed, Ying Qin Guan could have amazing eyesight and hearing, but just as no one would tense all their muscles in daily life, Ying Qin Guan was at most sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, so he naturally didn't see Shen Xin and Yu Xie Tian in the waiting hall.

The four of them found a place to sit down and waited quietly.

Amidst the astonished gazes of passersby, Shenxin quietly peeked out from the chair behind Ying Qin Guan.

If anyone with the power of a Nephalem were this close, Ying Qin Guan's body would have automatically reacted and slapped them. But his divine heart was too weak; just as a person wouldn't be awakened by a mite while sleeping, Ying Qin Guan, in his normal state, felt nothing.

Nocturne, however, suddenly sensed something, turned around, and saw Godheart.

"It's Little Goddess..." Nocturne smiled slightly, "Are you going out too?"

【"yes!"】

Shen Xin's spirits lifted, and he picked up the small blackboard.

"Miss Nocturne looks beautiful today too!"

"Little Shenxin, you're quite the smooth talker." Nocturne laughed, took a brightly wrapped candy from her pocket, and handed it to Shenxin. "Would you like to be a lady's assistant?"

Feeling that her partner was about to be poached, Yu Xietian became alert.

Shenxin swallowed the sugar coating and then fired the cannonball back.

"Not for now, Miss Nocturne. Wait for me. I'll poison the boss, take his fortune, and then come and serve you..."

Yu Xietian closed his eyes and decided not to drink the medicine that Shenxin had given him.

"Hehe..." Nocturne didn't mind, waving her fan and laughing, "Little Shenxin, is there something you need?"

"I'm here to see Ying Qin Pass!"

Shenxin pointed to Ying Qin Pass, then raised the small blackboard.

"There are some things we need to discuss somewhere private."

Ying Qin Guan scratched the back of his head, wondering what Shen Xin was up to, but he still stood up anyway.

It is worth mentioning that... when he stood up, Ying Qin Guan noticed Mu Nan Dong's cold gaze; he was staring at Shen Xin.

He couldn't immediately understand the meaning behind Mu Nandong's look, and then wondered if he had misread it. After all, Mu Nandong's eyes had always been quite intimidating...

Ying Qin Guan didn't think much of it and followed Shen Xin to a corner. He casually leaned against the wall and said lazily, "Little Pudding, did you need something from me?"

Upon reaching the corner, Shenxin blinked, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, and she pitifully raised the small blackboard.

"Lord Ying Qin, you are truly a good person."

The other party's sudden and inexplicable statement completely bewildered Ying Qin Guan. He subconsciously blurted out, "You mean—"

Before he could even utter the word "what," Shenxin had already raised the small blackboard.

"You clearly saw through my pathetic and worthless plan, yet you still agreed to help me. I'm so touched!"

plan?!

Ying Qin Guan suddenly felt like he was asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What the hell are you talking about?", but Shen Xin seemed to have misunderstood something...

Although I don't know what happened, since the other party has misunderstood, there's no need to expose it and make things awkward for everyone.

Ying Qin Guan Lao blushed, coughed twice, his eyes darted around, and he said smugly, "That's right... I've seen through it completely!"

Shenxin continued to hold up the blackboard.

"Actually, I had no choice. Yu Xietian was blinded by greed. Since both missions were located in the snowy mountains, he accepted them both at the same time. But we didn't have enough manpower, so this despicable guy tried to trick you and the Dean into going there to be conscripted. Although I wanted to stop him, I was powerless to do so..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Qin Guan inwardly scorned Yu Xietian. This guy was trying to do something he wasn't qualified for... But what was the point of tricking him and Jiu Yi into coming here as laborers?

As he wondered what was happening, Shenxin raised the small blackboard.

"He first went to the dean's office, lying to him that you were going to the snow mountain. Then he came to you and coerced me into telling you that the dean was going to the snow mountain. In reality, he just wanted to trick you two into going to the snow mountain..."

Ying Qin Guan was furious upon hearing this. To him, it didn't matter where he played cards, but being cheated was something else entirely.

"However, how could such a low-level trick possibly fool the wise and powerful Lord Ying Qin Guan? I'm afraid he has already seen through it. I am clearly aware of this, so..."

Shen Xin looked at Ying Qin Guan with a pitiful expression.

"You are truly great. Knowing that Yu Xietian, that despicable and shameless scoundrel, is deceiving you, you still choose to forgive him with a magnanimous heart..."

Shenxin raised the blackboard.

"Is that so...?"

Ying Qin Guan now completely understood!

Yu Xietian is shameless; he actually tried to take advantage of him! Luckily, Shenxin, that idiot, didn't understand the situation at all and ran over like a moron, telling him everything in detail.

Ying Qin Guan exhaled a breath of stale air. Fortunately, Shen Xin had acted foolishly, for some reason thinking that he... no! It was Shen Xin who was exceptionally intelligent. Although he hadn't seen through it just now, he would eventually, which was practically the same as him already seeing through it. She was discerning and knew that his wisdom and knowledge were no less than Ye Qu Mu Nan Dong's, so a little misunderstanding was normal.

I never imagined that this was how she perceived me...

With this thought in mind, Ying Qin Guan generously said, "Although Yu Xietian is incompetent, who am I to not tolerate him... But then again..."

Ying Qin, his true intentions revealed, said in a sinister tone, "Although I know all this, the dean is an idiot and definitely doesn't understand anything right now. You'd better apologize to him properly..."

In the midst of his conversation, Ying Qin Guan had already positioned himself as a 'magnanimous man who sees through everything,' and defined Jiu Yi as a 'clueless fool who knows nothing.' It must be said that Ying Qin Guan does indeed have a talent for persecuting people.

Shenxin understood immediately and picked up the small blackboard.

"Of course! Although the dean is dull-witted and didn't see the situation clearly, I will explain it to him properly!"

Ying Qin Guan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let it be so."

He returned to his seat... Shenxin followed behind him and then called Jiuyi.

Ying Qin Guan calmly looked at Jiu Yi, his heart filled with a sense of superiority that said, "I know what you don't."

A moment later, Jiu Yi returned to his seat, and Shen Xin took the small blackboard back to Yu Xie Tian.

Yu Xietian said, "I feel that you told an even bigger lie to cover up a lie."

The god calmly raised the small blackboard.

"That's life. There are some things in this world that are beyond our control."

"You... don't make lying sound so noble!"

Chapter Seven: Climbing

"Teacher Ying, what did Xiao Shenxin say to you? Can you tell the woman about it?" Ye Qu said with a smile, "The woman seems quite interested."

"It's nothing serious," Ying Qin Guan waved his hand cheerfully, saying, "Just some work-related troubles... But speaking of which, whose commission did they receive, and why are they all going to the snow mountain? That's quite rare..."

At this moment, Mu Nandong suddenly spoke up.

"'All'?" He precisely grasped Ying Qin Guan's choice of words and said, "What do you mean by 'all'? Besides me, are there any other people who have entrusted them with this task?"

"Huh?!" Ying Qin Guan's eyes widened in surprise. It was as if the place was right in front of him, so close yet so far. Judging from Mu Nan Dong's words... it seemed to be the Yorozuya he had entrusted with the task?

Jiu Yi then spoke up at just the right moment, saying, "Speaking of which, Nephalem asked me to help distribute the Yorozuya's business cards, and I did give them to you... So it was you who commissioned them. No wonder, no wonder..."

As Jiu Yi spoke, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

In fact, not only him, Ying Qin Guan was also curious about what Mu Nan Dong was going to do—because the kind of person he was, gave the impression that he would never go out to play. Although he had previously answered with "serious business," no one knew what that serious business was. Now, although he still didn't know what it was, he had made it clear that he had entrusted the Yorozuya with this matter, which made him seem much more reliable.

After all, Mu Nandong is just a scholar with no power to bind the gods. It's like he's going out alone to do something "serious," which is very unreliable, like a background character in a horror movie who insists on going out alone to die.

"After accepting one request, you actually want to take on another? There are only two of you..." Mu Nandong snorted coldly. Although he didn't say anything, Ying Qin Guan guessed that he had already blacklisted Yorozuya.

—Unless he is extremely satisfied with the Yorozuya's service this time.

But... who will be the other person who commissions the Yorozuya?

As Ying Qin was deep in thought, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"teacher..?"

He looked up and saw a person with heavy black eye sockets and pale skin, who looked like he wouldn't live much longer... It was Zhao Yunxian!

She was at the airport too?!

Mu Nandong coldly raised his head and saw Zhao Yunxian. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Long-term sleep deprivation, insomnia, and weak immunity. Go to Zhinanfang and buy some calming liquid. Eat a light diet. Staying up late is fine, but you need to have a regular schedule and develop a biological clock."

Despite still wearing that same stern face and speaking in that "you owe me eight million" tone, what he actually said was words of concern. Jiu Yi and Ying Qin Guan were utterly shocked; they never imagined Mu Nan Dong could actually utter words of concern. Shouldn't he be saying things like, "You're neither human nor ghost, you have no energy left, you've been enjoying staying up all night, have you thought about your health?"

Although the essence of the advice is to take better care of one's health, Mu Nandong's words now sound much nicer, so nice that they don't even sound like Mu Nandong anymore.
