Teaching Assistant (2)

She couldn't bear to face his disappointed gaze, so she would try to show her best behavior in his presence. 

Yunxuan gulped and her hands into fists. Then only did she realize her palms were wet with sweat. 

She was blushing with shame and sweating!

There finally came a day when the famed cold and aloof Zhan Yunxuan, came to this!

She collected her composure and reached out to knock on the door. 

Knock! Knock!  Knock! 

Dull knocking rang throughout the space. 

"Come in!"

From inside the door, a light voice called out. 

Yunxuan sucked in a deep breath. She opened the door and walked in. 

In the clean room, a man was hunched over the desk. She had no idea what he was doing. 

He had a head full of blindingly shiny silver hair. 

Such was Yunxuan's first impression of him. 

"Headmaster?" Yunxuan voiced out. 

The man lifted his head toward the voice. Yunxuan looked at him and noticed he was beautiful; with rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and refined facial features. 

A smile hung at the corner of his mouth, like scarlet cherry blossoms blooming in May. His eyes were shining like crystals too. 

His eyes and brows were clear; it was breathtaking. 

In no way was he any less pretty than Qian Shangchen. 

This man in front of her was beautiful, but not in the same way as Qian Shangchen. 

Qian Shangchen was like a beauty who could bring down empires to his feet. This man was a one-of-a-kind peerless beauty. 

These two men were both beautiful in their own ways. 

But Qian Shangchen was younger, he had an impression of someone puerile and frivolous. Whereas the man in front of her made people feel like he was steady and graceful. 

It felt like at any given moment, nothing could disturb that calm heart of his. 

Dating a man like this would definitely feel secure and safe. 

He would definitely give the people around him a sense of safety. 

But if such a man were to be angered and lost his temper, that fury was not something that anyone could accept. 

Yunxuan wondered to herself,  it could not possibly be, right?

This was the headmaster?

When the man saw the shock in Yunxuan's eyes, he laughed lightly. His voice was clear like a music note. "You are Qi Ye, the number one prodigy that Luo Ao and Lei Han mentioned?"

His voice was really nice, it made one feel like you were bathing in spring winds. 

No matter how aggravated someone was, his voice would calm them down. 

His voice really seemed to have this magical effect. 

When she heard his words, Yunxuan was stunned but soon regained her composure. Luo Ao and Lei Han must have passed the message on to him already.

"Yes, headmaster!" Yunxuan nodded.

The man stood up and walked to Yunxuan's side. The corner of his lips held back a smile as he reached out to hold Yunxuan's small hand. 

Yunxuan was wary and wanted to pull her hand back, but she did not expect his grip to be so strong.

Fear struck into her heart. 

She was already a seven-star great spirit master, but she never thought they had such a gap between their strengths.

Like the vast endless ocean, she could not reach the ends of his power. 

This headmaster's capabilities were definitely strong enough. 

"Such a cautious little brat!" As if he was completely oblivious to Yunxuan's predicament, he pulled her onto a sofa at the side, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

His every movement and action was calm and gentle. 

"Seven-star great spirit master, 13 years old. A prodigy indeed!" As the man sized Yunxuan up, his eyes were slowly admiring her. 

This made Yunxuan curious about him. 

After all, a 13-year-old seven-star great spirit master was some mind-blowing news. 

"You must've leveled up recently, haven't you?" The man did not care for the sudden change in Yunxuan's expressions and continued to speak with a smile, "Should I call you Yunxuan, or Qi Ye?"

He looked as calm and composed as ever, but Yunxuan's entire body tensed up. 

She never thought that someone would figure out her identity. 

After all, she had tried her best to push her abilities up to impossible heights within the shortest time frame possible. 

Who was he? Even Luo Ao and Lei Han did not see through her abilities. But he seemed to have seen through her in a single glance. 

"Relax, I don't mean any harm!" the man laughed softly. He seemed to have noticed Yunxuan's wariness. 

That soft gaze between his eyes made her believe him for no particular reason. 

"What do you want?" Yunxuan asked outright. 

"Little Seven, make me your master. How does that sound?" The man leaned forward, getting closer to Yunxuan. 

He had a pleasant scent on him. 

Make him her master?

A peculiar look flashed across Yunxuan's eyes. 

"Spirit rank teacher. Would this status be enough?" The man looked straight into the depths of Yunxuan's eyes. The smile on his lips was dazzling. 

Yunxuan answered, determined. "Okay!"

This was her. She would go for anything that was good for her or anything that benefited her! 

As long as they did not go against her principles. 

She did not mind being called realistic, but she would not deny that it was her way of surviving. 

"I am Guan Mo. You can call me by my name, or you can call me Master too!" Guan Mo smiled lightly at Yunxuan. He looked indescribably good. 

"Master!" Yunxuan called out to him. 

Guan Mo nodded. His eyes showed his appreciation and some delight. 

"From now on, you are the teaching assistant for Class Seven. Are there any questions?" Guan Mo stood up and walked over to the table. 

"None at all!" Yunxuan answered. 

Guanmo picked up a stack of papers from the table and handed it to Yunxuan. He said, "This is some information on Class Seven. Go through it when you are free. It will do you good!"

Yunxuan nodded as she looked into Guan Mo's eyes. She had gained a newfound fondness towards him. 

The leaves of the trees that lined both sides swayed with the wind. Sunlight streamed through between the leaves as they scattered across the ground. Yunxuan picked up her pace and made her way off. 

She flipped through the information Guan Mo had passed to her. 

Class Seven...

They were a special existence in Water Path Spirit Arts Academy. 

Xin Hao, the academy's battle maniac. He would go round picking fights, making people avoid him whenever possible. 

You Tong, has a fiery temper. Starts fights less than three sentences into conversations. A typical trouble maker. 

Yu Qi, an extreme clean freak. According to rumors, this person showered more than five times a day. 

Le Yuening, loved refining weapons. This person only had eyes for weapons and refining them.
