"I think I know why you like staying there, he's got a good physique!"

Tu Mi clenched her fist, but quickly relaxed it:

"You got the short end of the stick?"

"Hmm?" Tu Qi raised an eyebrow.

Tu Mi wiggled her toes, which resembled tiny flowers, with a playful expression:

"You probably ate shit at Zuo Le's place, otherwise you wouldn't be showing off like this here. Don't I know you too well?"

Tu Qi's smile faded, and she straightened up:

"It's alright, there's plenty of time in the future."

Chapter 63 The Teacher's Plea for Help

The psychic classroom.

Achoo!

Zuo Le sneezed while in class. Was someone cursing him?

Returning her attention to the psychic course, Zuo Le noticed that her teacher, Shen He, looked increasingly unwell, with a thick layer of tired, bluish-gray circles around his eyes.

In the previous few days, he was able to maintain the quality of the courseware.

But this morning, Shen He has already made two mistakes, and not only him, but other classmates have also noticed.

At Jingkong Academy, if even the quality of normal courses cannot be maintained...

That would inevitably lead to complaints from current students, because this place includes not only ordinary people from the outer city but also the elite from the inner city.

The existence of the academy merely brought the two groups of people together temporarily, giving them a false sense of equality.

Once they graduate, they will most likely go their separate ways.

People in the outer ring area generally ignore the decline in teaching quality, people in the middle ring area can tolerate it, but people in the inner ring area will only complain.

Therefore, when Zuo Le saw that there was a problem with the array pattern drawn by Shen He, he already planned to give him a warning.

But the student from the inner ring who had been mostly silent suddenly spoke up:

"Teacher, you drew the array pattern for the spirit communication ritual incorrectly."

"Sorry, everyone take a break today and study on your own." Shen He pinched his brow and ended the class early.

Seeing Shen He's troubled expression, Zuo Le frowned.

"Teacher, this won't do!"

Putting aside his personal connections with Shen He, he couldn't ignore the care and training Shen He had given him over the past few years.

His single dormitory room was arranged by Shen He.

If Shen He is removed from the teaching staff, Zuo Le's position as teaching assistant will be gone, and he doesn't want to be living in a dormitory with four or eight people anymore.

What if Tu Mi comes looking for him then?

This is something Zuo Le absolutely cannot accept.

Silently waiting for the bell to ring, Shen Hegang announced the end of the week's classes.

A beautiful figure rushed in from the classroom door and bumped into Zuo Le's arms with a 'thud'.

"Brother, shall we go home together?"

It was unclear whether it was the impact on his chest or Zuo Jingyu's call that caused the injury.

Zuo Le was momentarily dazed.

Several blurry images and fragments appeared in his mind, very fragmented, as if they had been run over.

Brother! Shall we go home together?

[Zuo Le, you bullied me again! I'm not going to call you my brother anymore!]

"Brother, you can't beat them. Let's go."

There are also memories like these, so fragmented that faces and details are no longer visible.

The only certainty is that it was him and Zuo Jingyu.

These memories are completely disjointed and don't connect at all; they seem to be long-forgotten fragments. At least, when Zuo Le received the original owner's memories, these were definitely not there.

The fragmented memories gave Zuo Le a headache, and he covered his head and sat back down in his seat.

Did the original owner have a happy past with her sister?

If that's really the case, then it's understandable that his sister has a high level of affection for him, since their relationship was indeed very good in the past.

Zuo Jingyu, who was standing to the side, was unaware of his situation and was also somewhat panicked.

"Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Still lost in thought, Zuo Le shook her head and glanced at Zuo Jingyu with a somewhat blank expression.

Seeing that look in her eyes, Zuo Jingyu felt a pang of panic. Her greatest fear was that her brother, who had finally returned, would be lost again.

The girl, at a loss for what to do, instantly teared up.

"Waaah..."

Zuo Le thought he had made her cry, so he quickly tried to make amends by poking Zuo Jingyu's forehead with two fingers.

"So pathetic, you cry just from one look at me?"

Instead of rushing up to hit him in a fit of anger, Zuo Jingyu lowered her head, pouted, and twitched her nose.

It was as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.

This was the last thing Zuo Le wanted to see.

If it's just a simple confrontation, a shouting match, or even a fight between siblings, he has no problem with it; he can handle it with ease.

But the grievances are different...

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I didn't mean to."

"Waaah, Zuo Le, you did this on purpose! You have no conscience!" She had just thought Zuo Le was gone again, which was the thing Zuo Jingyu could least accept.

Zuo Le doesn't like to coax people; she directly raises her finger as a warning:

"If you cry again, I really won't talk to you."

"Then I won't cry," the younger sister said, though she didn't mean it.

The two's playful banter was witnessed by many students in the psychic department, including Tangyuan.

She stared at Zuo Le and Zuo Jingyu with some surprise.

Because just yesterday afternoon, she saw Zuo Le and the Holy Maiden go shopping at the academy's own store together.

Now he turns around and is with another girl?

How dare Senior Brother Zuo Le be such a scumbag? He completely disregards the Holy Maiden?

If he can find someone else, why not me? Being a mistress isn't out of the question...

Tangyuan felt ashamed of her own thought, but she still turned her gaze to Zuo Le. Her favorability rating, which had been stuck at 20, actually increased by 1 point.

Zuo Le's gaze happened to drift unintentionally over Tang Yuan.

Tangyuan noticed Zuo Le's gaze and immediately lowered her head, unwilling to meet his eyes.

But Zuo Le knew very well that if you don't look at someone, how can you know they are looking at you?

He has no right to criticize anything, but the problem is...

[Tangyuan, Affection Level: 21]

Zuo Le didn't understand why, even after all he had done, Tang Yuan still couldn't forget him.

The favorability rating keeps increasing inexplicably.

Nothing.

"Brother, are you coming back with me today?"

Zuo Le originally planned to find Shen He after school, but Zuo Jingyu's arrival interrupted his plans.

"I need to study at the school."

"Aren't you going back?"

"I've been pregnant for three years already, do you think I have the same leisurely life as you?"

Upon hearing that Zuo Le wouldn't be going back with her, Zuo Jingyu pouted:

"Would you like to have dinner with me later?"

Zuo Le did not agree immediately, but instead looked up at the podium.

Seeing that Shen He hadn't left, she hunched over slightly, glancing at him every now and then, as if she was struggling with something.

Zuo Le immediately said to Zuo Jingyu:

"I need to check with the teacher to see if he's alright."

"I see, then okay."

Seeing that Zuo Le was really in trouble, Zuo Jingyu also behaved herself. Respecting teachers and valuing the way is one of the precepts passed down through generations, and she would not cause trouble at this time.

Zuo Le walked to the front of the stage:

"Has the teacher encountered any problems recently?"

Upon hearing this, Shen He hesitated for a moment, then gave an awkward smile:

"It's nothing, I just feel that you've made great progress and will definitely become an outstanding psychic in the future."

When Zuo Le heard his words, which sounded like a last will and testament, he felt that things were going to get bad. If Shen He really had an accident, who could he rely on in the academy?

Moreover, Shen He's gaze towards him was strange; he seemed to be struggling with something.

So the question is, what is it about me that teachers should be concerned about?

"Teacher, I'm not blind. I've seen how bad you've been lately."

I wanted to discuss my psychic abilities with you this Monday, but you kept avoiding me, which made me worry about you and actually affected my studies.

Zuo Le's reasoned and well-founded explanation left Shen He somewhat bewildered.

He pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh:

"Zuo Le, you've really changed a lot lately,"

"People change, teacher, I really want to improve."

Zuo Le doesn't deny her own changes, because anyone who gets to know her can clearly feel them.

"I have indeed encountered some problems," Shen He finally admitted.

"Does the teacher need my help?"

After pondering for a moment, Shen He finally nodded.

"Yes, come sit at my place."

Chapter 64 The Illusion of a Certain Seal Being Broken

Zuo Le did not agree immediately, but instead turned around and glanced at Zuo Jingyu.

"Then I'll let my sister go back first."

Shen He nodded, looking completely at ease and showing no airs of a teacher.

Seeing his expression, Zuo Le knew that he was truly at his wit's end.

He came to his sister's side:

"Zuo Jingyu, why don't you go back first? I need to have some discussions about psychic practices with my teacher, so I can't go with you."

"Huh? I don't want to go back alone. Give me your dorm key, and I'll wait for you there."
