Of course, this is because Mingyue City is a large city, so the cultivation levels of officials at all levels are generally quite high. In some medium-sized cities, the city lord only has a fifth-rank cultivation level, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant only have a third-rank cultivation level. In some small cities, even the city lord only has a fourth-rank cultivation level.

The "outlaw" Zhang San on the podium is a legal officer under the command of the county magistrate of Mingyue City. He handles official business on weekdays and teaches at Mingyue Academy in his spare time.

Zuan was no stranger to this; in his previous life, many part-time professors at universities did the same thing, teaching was just a side job for them.

"So, isn't Principal Jiang top-notch?" Wei Suo asked with a wink, his smugness as if he were showing off his girlfriend.

Zuan recalled the warm, soft sensation from his fingers and subconsciously replied, "Indeed, it's exquisite."

"What stockings is she wearing today?" Vesso's eyes were filled with fervor.

Zuan couldn't help but move a little further away from him: "It looks like black stockings."

"As expected of my goddess, oh~" Veso let out an extremely shameful groan, as if just hearing it gave him immense satisfaction.

Zuan looked disgusted; this guy was a real freak.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air, and Wei Suo cried out in pain as a large bump appeared on his forehead.

Zuan noticed the chalk stubs that had fallen to the ground. He hadn't expected that teachers in every world were proficient in this finger-flicking technique. In his previous life, it would only hurt a little, but in this world, teachers were all powerful cultivators, and a moment's carelessness could be fatal.

Teacher Zhang San, standing on the podium with a gloomy face, said, "This student, please answer this question."

Vesso looked bewildered: "What's the problem?"

Zuan secretly gave him a thumbs up under the desk, a true hero who dared to face a bleak life.

Teacher Zhang San angrily said, "If you don't know it, then go stand at the back and listen carefully."

Weisso hurriedly ran to the back, looking as obedient as could be.

Zuan hurriedly sat up straight, but cursed inwardly. In the past, when the teacher asked questions in class, it was the most terrifying time for the students. What sins had I committed to deserve such torment again in this other world?

Finally, get out of class was over. Zu Ansheng slumped onto his desk, feeling utterly hopeless, wondering when this would ever end.

Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken. He opened his eyes and found a large, fat man with a fierce face standing next to his seat, looking down at him.

"Is there something you need?" Zu An asked listlessly. He wouldn't mind chatting with a beautiful woman for a while if she were a pretty girl, but he wouldn't bother with a fat guy like this.

"I'll be waiting for you in the grove." The fat man left those words coldly and walked out first, followed by several sycophantic companions.

"Who is this guy? Is he crazy?" Zuan had no interest in paying him any attention.

Wei Suo happened to come back from behind and, upon hearing his words, hurriedly said, "Shh, keep your voice down. That guy is Man Yu, the class bully. He's really fierce."

"You were beaten up by him?" Seeing the other person's lingering fear, Zu An chuckled.

Wei Su smiled awkwardly: "I advise you to go there. At most, you'll just have to hand over the cultivation stones to him. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble if you get a beating."

Zu'an immediately perked up upon hearing this: "That guy stole the spirit stones?"

Wei Suo nodded: "Yes, they extorted all the spirit stones I just received. Don't worry about it too much. Anyway, we're not suited for cultivation, so the spirit stones aren't of much use to us. Why offend that guy?"

“But I’ve heard that Yuan Stones are quite valuable,” Zu An asked.

“That’s true. I’ve heard that a single spirit stone is worth at least ten taels of gold on the black market, but these things are priceless and hard to find. Who would be willing to sell one?” Wei Suo replied.

Zuan's eyes lit up immediately. "If you keep talking about this, I won't be sleepy anymore! Ten taels of gold, that's RMB. After being in this world for so long, he still prefers to convert it into familiar units so he can have a better grasp of the concept."

He's currently short of money; if he could get a few more spirit stones, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Overwhelmed with excitement, he jumped up and chased after the student outside the classroom.

Upon arriving at the grove designated by the other party, he found that the location was secluded and there were very few people around, indicating that the other party had clearly made a careful decision in choosing this place.

"You're quite sensible," the fat guy named Manyu said as he saw him coming. He stretched out his chubby hand and said, "Hand over the resources we distributed today, and I'll protect you from now on."
