"A true man never changes his name or surname. My name is Shi Kun!" Zu An declared confidently, patting his chest.

Shang Liuyu, standing to the side, was stunned, thinking that this guy's shamelessness was beyond her imagination.

"Shi Kun? You're the sixth young master of the Shi family, the one who threw fruit at the carriage?" Wu Qing's face darkened. "You're quite good-looking, but how could you be such a lecherous and shameless scoundrel!"

Zu An chimed in, "Yes, Shi Kun is a lecherous, despicable, and shameless scoundrel. You only realize that now?"

Wu Qing was taken aback, not expecting the other party to admit it so frankly, and couldn't help but say, "You do have a good sense of self-awareness."

Seeing that she was almost completely fooled, her two henchmen couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to remind her:

"Young Miss, this person is Zu An."

These days, Zu An is a prominent figure at the school. There are very few people who don't know him. As for Wu Qing, she was delayed by something and didn't come to the academy for a while, so he managed to fool her for a while.

"How dare you lie to me?" Wu Qing's face instantly turned bright red, especially when she thought about how she had been fooled by him just now, and her anger really surged up.

Wu Qing's anger level increased by 600!

"You've never been fooled in your life, have you?" Zu'an asked curiously, seeing her angry expression.

"Of course not, who would dare to lie to me!" Wu Qing snorted.

"No wonder she's so easy to fool," Zu An thought to himself, "this young lady doesn't seem to be very smart."

Wu Qing: "..."

Wu Qing's anger level increased by 666!

She took a deep breath to calm herself before saying, "So you're the man Chu Chuyan chose?"

Zu An was taken aback: "Are you and Chu Yan very close?" If the two were best friends, he would feel a little embarrassed to earn her anger points.

“We’re very familiar with each other.” Wu Qing sneered. “I had heard that she chose a good-for-nothing as her husband, but I didn’t quite believe it at the time. Seeing him today, I was not disappointed. Not only is he a good-for-nothing, but he’s also a lecherous scoundrel. He’s despicable and shameless. No wonder he’s a notorious scoundrel in Bright Moon City.”

Hearing her say that, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. If she wasn't an acquaintance, then it would be easier to handle. At this moment, he also remembered that the Chu family had mentioned before that the reason why the Yuan family was different from the past in this family competition was because another duke was supporting them from behind. It seemed that the duke's mansion was surnamed Wu.

He walked up to Wu Qing and looked at her closely. He had to admit that although the girl had a bad temper, she was indeed very beautiful: "Miss Wu keeps calling me a lecher. May I ask what I did to you? Or do you want to seduce me?"

Being approached so closely by a man, Wu Qing panicked and quickly took two steps back: "His mouth is full of filthy language, he really is a lecher..."

She wanted to call him a lecher, but remembering what he had just said, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

At this moment, her two henchmen jumped out and blocked Zu An's way: "Zu, you've got some nerve! How dare you be so disrespectful to Miss Wu!"

Zu An looked at the two young men in front of him and asked curiously, "May I ask your esteemed names?"

The older man on the left proudly declared, "I am Pan Long from the Pan family of Yangquan!"

The younger one on the right also looked up and said, "I am Fu Feng from the Fu family of Yangquan!"

(The names of the minor characters were provided by a reader named "Cabbage and Soy Sauce")

They naturally had reason to be proud. The Pan and Fu families were well-known prominent families in Yangquan City. Although they couldn't compare to the Wu and Chu families, they were not much different from the Zheng, Yuan, and Wang families in Mingyue City.

They and Wu Qing were childhood friends. They were immediately struck by her beauty upon first meeting her, and given Wu Qing's status as a duke, they were even more attentive to her, hoping to one day win Miss Wu's favor and successfully marry into a wealthy family.

That's why they reacted so strongly when they saw Zuan "bullying" Wu Qing like this.

"Climbing the dragon and attaching himself to the phoenix?" Zu An looked at him strangely. "A good name, very fitting."

After saying that, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and began to write: "This 'climb,' this 'attach'?"

"Uh, no, it's written like this." After subconsciously correcting themselves, the two suddenly realized something was wrong. "Why did you memorize our names?"

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Zuan replied casually. “I’m going to give you all a failing grade in the next math class, so I’ll write it down in case I forget.”

Pan Long: "..."

Fu Feng: "..."

Holy crap, buddy, why are you doing things the wrong way?

Wu Qing had also calmed down by this time. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be frozen in place, she couldn't help but frown and say, "What are you afraid of? Does he have the final say on the arithmetic grades?"

The two turned around at the same time, their faces crestfallen, and said, "He really does have that power, because he is our new math teacher."

Wu Qing: "..."

You two are such a pain in the ass, why didn't you tell me sooner?

Zu An smiled slightly: "Little girl, you know you've offended someone you shouldn't have, right? Come over here and apologize to me obediently, and maybe I'll forget about today's events in a good mood."

Wu Qing gritted her teeth: "What's with the mere math teacher being so smug? The top-tier class doesn't even focus on math scores."

Wu Qing's anger level increased by 233!

“Even if this course isn’t important to you, as the eldest daughter of a duke’s mansion, failing a course would probably make you the laughingstock of the whole school.” Zuan smiled like a fox.

Wu Qing's breath hitched. The other person was right. She had the strongest personality and wanted to compete with Chu Chuyan in everything. If she got a failing grade, it would be a huge loss of face.
