After explaining some things, Jiang Yunzhou left the Yin-Yang Two-Yin Eye with Xiao Wu under the reluctant gazes of the girls.
Some people are happy that someone is worried.
Tonight, some are destined to toss and turn in bed, while others will weep all night...
Jiang Yunzhou and his disciples have been away from the Supreme Academy for over a month.
Throughout the month, three beautiful women with distinct personalities could be seen gathering together on campus from time to time.
But beneath their calm exteriors, each of them harbored deep worries.
Liu Erlong, who was initially calm, gradually lost patience.
She only hid for five days, while Jiang Yunzhou disappeared for more than a month. She even wondered if this was her retribution.
Jiang Yunzhou took all his personal disciples with him, leaving only students who weren't closely connected to him in the academy. Was this a smokescreen he deliberately left behind?
Some people are like that; they like to overthink, and the more they think, the more insecure they feel.
I keep thinking, what if he doesn't come back?
[Content has been deleted]
Tang Yuehua seemed nonchalant, living her life as usual every day, but in the dead of night when no one was around, she would grieve alone... even feeling a little resentful.
Alan's initial anticipation turned into anxiety and restlessness.
He always looks sullen and listless.
That's how longing is; the more you can't see it, the more frantic it becomes. What you can't have is always stirring within you.
But she was unwilling to leave just like that, afraid of missing the chance to meet again.
The three of them reunited at the academy once again.
Alan asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "Sister Tang, when exactly do you think Yunzhou will be back?"
Tang Yuehua secretly rolled her eyes. How would she know that?
She herself wanted to know, right?
She looked at Liu Erlong. This woman had been going to the Supreme Academy every day since that day. Was the dean so free?
Silently cursing in her heart, she thought, "This woman, she simply doesn't believe there's nothing fishy going on between her and Jiang Yunzhou."
Liu Erlong had the same idea.
The three women knew the truth, but none of them said it aloud.
Tang Yuehua's tone was somewhat forlorn, "I don't know either, it should... be soon."
Liu Erlong crossed her arms and replied, glancing at her sideways, and said, "What do you mean by 'should be soon'? You could have just said you didn't know!"
Tang Yuehua frowned slightly and said casually, "Is Dean Liu too idle? He's always running around to other colleges. Anyone who didn't know better would think your college is here!"
"Doesn't Master Tang come every day? Can't I come and chat with Xiao Lan?"
"I'm a teacher here, why can't I come?"
"I'm Yunzhou's neighbor, what's wrong with me coming over for a visit?"
The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give in!
Just as Alan was about to say something more to persuade him, a chill suddenly ran through him, and a sense of unease rose within him.
Sure enough, at that moment, a tall, thin old man walked in from outside the academy.
This man was none other than Dugu Bo, who had just returned from the Falling Moon Forest.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw three women with different expressions looking at him.
But when he saw Alan, he raised his eyebrows slightly and kept his gaze fixed on Alan.
He thought to himself: This Dean Jiang is really good at playing tricks.
"Dean Liu, Master Tang, and who is this...?" His gaze fell on A-Lan again.
Alan's face paled slightly under her gaze, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
She thought to herself: Damn it, why is a Titled Battle Girl here?
Upon seeing Dugu Bo, she understood the source of her earlier unease and knew that her identity had likely been exposed.
Liu Erlong noticed Alan's little movements and wondered why she was so nervous!
Tang Yuehua bowed slightly and said, "This is Xiao Lan. We are friends. What brings Poison Fighting Girl here?"
After glancing at A-Lan a few times, Dugu Bo looked away.
He doesn't offend anyone who appears at the Supreme Academy, whether they are human or beast; he pretends not to see them!
"Oh! I've been entrusted by Dean Jiang to look after the college for him, and also to teach there..."
Upon hearing this, the three women all showed expressions of surprise!
Having a titled Douluo (a type of female warrior) look after his academy and even act as a teacher? Isn't that a bit too much?
"Poison Fighting Girl, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Hmph, I don't need to explain my actions to anyone."
He could answer any question Jiang Yunzhou asked, and he could also maintain his authority over others.
Before they could ask any further questions, Dugu Bo asked, "I heard from Dean Jiang that he asked someone to look after the academy. I wonder which one of you it is?"
Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up, and she replied, "It's me. Dean Jiang invited me to be the music and etiquette teacher at the Supreme Academy. I'll be looking after him temporarily while he's away."
Dugu Bo nodded and looked at Liu Erlong: "Then I wonder about Dean Liu..."
"Me? Can't I just come over and chat because I'm bored?"
Chapter 122 You seem to be very afraid of Poison Fighting Loli?
Liu Erlong wasn't in a good mood at the moment, and her replies seemed absent-minded.
Of course, the main reason was that she wasn't particularly afraid of Dugu Bo.
They're all people with connections; who doesn't have a powerful backer?
As long as she doesn't directly offend Dugu Bo, he probably won't really hold it against her.
She's not in the mood to please anyone right now; in short, she's annoyed!
But just as she thought of it, she suddenly realized something and asked excitedly, "Poisonous Douluo, you just said... that you were entrusted by Dean Jiang? Do you know where he is now?"
Dugu Bo's lips twitched. He had ignored it just now, but now he was even using honorifics.
I must say, women are really fickle!
He really didn't intend to argue with the younger Liu Erlong about attitude issues.
To be precise, they didn't intend to argue with anyone who might be related to Jiang Yunzhou.
Seeing Liu Erlong's nervous appearance, he sneered inwardly.
Looking at it this way, it's really hard to say that she has no connection with Dean Jiang...
So he didn't intend to hide anything, since it wasn't a secret anyway.
"I only parted ways with him recently; they had been in the Falling Moon Forest the whole time."
Liu Erlong then asked:
"Do you know when they'll be back? Why did they take so long? Even hunting spirit beasts shouldn't take this long, right?"
Dugu Bo glanced at her. This woman has a lot of problems.
He didn't like being a mouthpiece and said somewhat impatiently:
"You're not from the Supreme Academy, why are you asking so many questions?"
"Dean Jiang is my sworn brother...my granddaughter's teacher. I can't reveal his whereabouts to unrelated outsiders."
"If you really want to know, ask him yourself when he gets back."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong angrily pointed at herself: "Me? An outsider? Irrelevant?"
Damn it, we've known each other for ages!
But can I say that? I probably can't...
Damn, this is so frustrating!
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. For some reason, she felt inexplicably comfortable.
Dugu Bo remained calm: "Hmm? What's there to be angry about? Isn't it?"
Inner monologue: If you dare say you two are having an affair, I'll tell you right now, what's wrong with that? But do you dare?
Liu Erlong was speechless; she truly dared not.
But I really wanted to know, so I suppressed my anger and remained calm as I asked, "Then you must know when he's coming back, right? You can at least tell me that, can't you?"
Tang Yuehua tried to speak several times, but Liu Erlong interrupted her, asking questions that Tang Yuehua also wanted to ask.
She glared at Liu Erlong with some displeasure: You're the only one who stands out!
In contrast, Alan, standing to the side, was extremely nervous, her body trembling slightly.
She kept stealing glances at Dugu Bo, afraid that he might suddenly make trouble.
But she couldn't resist wanting to hear news about Jiang Yunzhou, so she forced herself to stay put—it was practically gambling with her life.
Dugu Bo was already being quite agreeable by saying so much at this point.
He was in a hurry to get back and practice his cultivation technique, and said impatiently:
"I don't know, don't ask me. Also, from now on I will be stationed at the Supreme Academy. Don't bother me with trivial matters. Only call me if you have trouble that you can't handle."
He took a couple of steps and then turned back: "By the way, Master Tang, are there any vacant rooms?"
He only needs to handle emergencies.
As for becoming a teacher, we'll talk about it when Jiang Yunzhou returns. We can use this time to cultivate the "Secret Record of Detoxification".
Tang Yuehua pointed to the dormitory area: "That's the accommodation area. There are beast girls doing cleaning there. You might know more if you ask them."
