Naked Sword Art

Chapter 223 - Lai Yun's Request

After Chen Li left, Xiao Fang’s fellow classmates gave him the death stares before returning back to their spot in the line.

Xiao Fang sighed, ’Why is it so difficult to leave a good first impression these days...’

After Xiao Fang received a spatial pouch containing his monthly allowance, he took it inside and sat on a seat near the back of the class before opening it. What he saw inside put a light smile on his face.

Sitting closer to the front of the class was Bai Fan. When she saw Xiao Fang come in, she assumed he’d be upset after everything that happened outside. She was tempted to go comfort him, but she hesitated because she didn’t know what to say. After a few seconds, she eventually convinced herself to go talk to him. She thought if there was ever an opportunity to get closer to Xiao Fang, it was now.

While Xiao Fang was happily admiring all of the merit points in his spatial pouch, he noticed Bai Fan sitting down right beside him.

"Bai Fan... Long time no see."

"Hello again, Da Long," she smiled at him.

Xiao Fang knew who she was because the last time they spoke, they ended up having sex in the middle of an empty classroom. He didn’t really remember much about her besides the fact that she was an extremely popular disciple in the outer court and that she had a strong backer in the sect. Xiao Fang usually tried to avoid sleeping with the daughters of elders because he didn’t want to get into too much trouble. However, he made an exception that one time because he wanted to seduce Jiang Mei.

He didn’t realize it before, but the more they talked the more chemistry they seemed to have. She wasn’t nearly as cold and detached as she appeared to be. She actually had a fairly heartwarming smile.

Bai Fan was also a bit surprised by how easy it was to speak to him. Before they knew it, they felt as if they were the only two people in the room. However, their conversation was cut short when a beautiful middle-aged woman standing at the front of the class began to speak.

"Quiet down everyone. I have a few things I want to say before we start today’s class."

Xiao Fang recognized the woman almost immediately.

"Elder Su, will you be our divisional teacher this year?" one girl asked excitedly.

"Yup. That means you’re all stuck with me for the rest of the year," Su Lingxi said with a friendly smile.

Despite how she made it sound, many of the girls in the Phoenix-Class knew that Su Lingxi was the best assistant teacher out of the 5, that was the reason why almost everyone became excited by her words.

"Now then, let’s see~" Su Lingxi said as her eyes scanned the room.

"From what I can see, there seems to be a lot of familiar faces here today, but I also see a few new ones too. For those of you who are new to this class, I congratulate you. Many say that the first year in the Phoenix-Class is always the worst, but I’ll do my best to make sure that you all have a wonderful experience."

Xiao Fang wasn’t a fan of classrooms or lectures in general, but considering that Su Lingxi was his teacher, he didn’t feel too bad about it.

"First off, did you all get a chance to look through your monthly allowances yet? If the number is off, please report it to me at the end of the class," Su Lingxi said.

Xiao Fang had already looked into his spatial pouch, so he didn’t bother to look at it again. The spatial pouch he got contained 40,000 merit points and 15 high-grade spirit pills. When he combined it with what he had left over, he had a total of 42,000 merit points, and 33 high grade spirit pills. If he included the allowance Xiao Hei was going to get today, he would have a total of 72,000 merit points, and 36 high-grade spirit pills.

’I’m fucking loaded, hahaha. It seems the sect really treats their Phoenix-Class disciples like kings and queens. I wonder what I should spend it on first,’ Xiao Fang thought.

...

Su Lingxi spent the next few minutes explaining a few new things to the new disciples in her class. Firstly, the Head Teacher only gave lectures once a week, so for the rest of the week, it was mandatory for disciples to attend her daily Divisional classes to practice what they learned from that lecture. However, Su Lingxi said that she wanted everyone to have a good night’s rest before every lecture, so she was going to give them the last day of every week off.

The disciples were ecstatic. None of the other Divisional Assistant-Teachers would give them days off, it was only Su Lingxi.

Xiao Fang enjoyed Su Lingxi as a person, and he knew he was going to enjoy her even more as a teacher, but he didn’t want to remain in the Phoenix-Class forever. He began to wonder if he could stay in her class all year and climb up to the Dragon-Class at the end of the year, so that he could participate in the Core Court exam when the time came.

Once Su Lingxi had said everything she wanted to say, she finally asked, "If you have any questions, please ask them now."

Xiao Fang thought about it for a second, then finally raised his hand.

"Yes, Long Wang," Su Lingxi said in a friendly tone.

Trying to be careful with his words, he asked, "Do you know if it’s possible to go up by more than 1 division at a time?"

The moment Xiao Fang asked his question, the other disciples glared at him with scornful and loathsome eyes. Ever since he declined the White Jade guild invitation, it seemed as if no one wanted to even hear him utter a single word.

"Long Wang, something like that has never happened before, at least not in the Phoenix-Class," Su Lingxi tried to say politely.

As soon as Su Lingxi replied, another middle-aged woman suddenly stood up from her chair and pointed at Xiao Fang before saying,

"Hey, young man, aren’t you getting too ahead of yourself? Right now, your only concern should be how you plan to stay in the Phoenix Class after the year ends. I’d be surprised if you don’t instantly get demoted straight into the Ant-Class, hahaha."

A few other girls laughed as well, but no one seemed to be taking him seriously. Even Bai Fan believed he was being a bit too ambitious.

"So, are you saying it is possible?" Xiao Fang asked Su Lingxi again, acting as if he didn’t even hear the other girl’s words.

"Hey aren’t you listening?!" the rude girl spoke up again, "Don’t tell me that you’re deaf as well as blind."

"Lai Yun, please don’t be rude in my class," Su Lingxi tried to stop her from insulting Xiao Fang.

"Elder, please excuse my poor behavior, but I can’t sit still when my favourite teacher is being insulted by an arrogant and despicable cripple like him."

Her words finally made Xiao Fang frown.

"What good are eyes or ears when the last thing I want to do is see or hear you. If only I could cripple my nose too, so that I wouldn’t have to smell you as well," Xiao Fang said.

Xiao Fang felt as if it was out of character for him to be speaking with such a vulgar tongue, he wasn’t the type of person to say such things. Usually, whenever a situation like this came up, the only way he knew how to resolve it was with his sword.

Luckily, Su Lingxi didn’t seem to mind it. She was just feeling bad that he was getting called names on his first day of class.

Although Xiao Fang’s words were brief, Lai Yun was still incapable of hiding her anger.

"Elder, please allow me to fight against Long Wang," Lai Yun requested in a single breath.

[ For the purpose of training, every divisional classroom had a large training area connected to it. However, from time to time, this training area would also be used to squash beefs between disciples through supervised fights. ]

The girls in the class all seemed to be siding with Lai Yun, but Su Lingxi didn’t want to agree to the fight. Xiao Fang was new to the Phoenix-Class so she didn’t think he could stand a chance against her. However, before she could reject Lai Yun’s proposal, Xiao Fang suddenly stood up.

"Good, good! Let’s settle this with a fight then. Don’t think because you’re a girl that I’ll spare you."

"Long Wang, what are you-" Bai Fan whispered, but before she could finish what she was saying, Xiao Fang spoke again.

"Big sis, please allow me to teach that smelly girl a lesson. Otherwise, I won’t be able to focus for the rest of the class," Xiao Fang also requested Su Lingxi to supervise their fight.

Although his words made Lai Yun’s eye twitch, she was actually happy to hear him also request for a fight.

Su Lingxi didn’t know what Xiao Fang was thinking, but since he also wanted to fight, she knew it was going to happen whether she supervised it or not. If they could squash their beef here under her supervision, at least then she would be able to stop it before he got hurt too badly.

As reluctant as she was to agree to it, she also didn’t want the other girls to think that she showed favouritism towards any one disciple.

"Very well. Follow me."
