Huaining did not leave the sect in the end. One day when Shen Qingmang was in class, he found that Qi Xiao took Huaining to sit in the back row. He looked at them twice but didn't say anything.
Ever since her disciples shined at the sports meet, more outer disciples came to attend her classes, and even inner disciples from other senior brothers and sisters would sneak over to listen to her lectures on magic in their free time. Shen Qingmang simply gave up the classroom and asked Wanshitang to build a square that could accommodate more people, so that she could teach in the open air and welcome everyone.
Perhaps Second Brother wanted to learn some teaching methods from her. Compared to Qi Yao's despicable behavior of simply entrusting his apprentice to her and continuing to live freely, Qi Xiao, a teacher who is willing to learn and improve himself, is simply a model in the industry.
Shen Qingmang felt a little relieved.
However, a week later, there was another person named An Yanxiang in the back row. He did not bring his apprentice, but he brought his own small stool and sat there quietly listening to her lecture. Shen Qingmang felt uncomfortable all over when he stared at her.
She now has very complicated feelings towards An Yanxiang. After knowing that he is the instigator of the disaster, she doesn't know whether to confront him and let him know that nothing he does will be of any use, or whether to pretend to be nice to him and let him think that he has already got what he wanted and doesn't need to take any other action.
She was best at dealing with rational people, as reasoning with them came easily to her. But with a lunatic like An Yanxiang… who knew how to appease him? Furthermore, she had a feeling that Qiongju wasn't his sole reason for colluding with foreign enemies to destroy Taichu; it might even be a secondary reason. She needed to think long-term.
So Shen Qingmang tried his best to ignore An Yanxiang's gaze, thinking that he was just acting on a whim and might leave in a few days.
Another week passed. Shen Qingmang finished writing on the blackboard and turned around to find another uninvited guest: Shi Mingli.
This time she stopped teaching and asked happily, "Is Senior Brother here to take them away?"
Shi Mingli avoided her eager gaze, coughed, and said, "I heard that you allowed them to learn and teach, and I am also confused about this. I hope you don't mind my presumptuous visit today."
The corners of Shen Qingmang's mouth froze, and the newly made chalk in her hand was almost broken by her.
Calm down, calm down. Isn't it just a few more Buddha statues? Didn't I teach open classes during my undergraduate internship? The principal and education bureau leaders sat in the back row, and I was still able to teach freely. Why would I be affected now?
Shen Qingmang persuaded himself for a few words and continued teaching, but found that the children's performance was not as active as before.
This is easy to understand. Every time there is an open class, it is not just the teachers who are nervous, but the students are no exception.
If they were to stay here for a long time, the students would probably all become sober-minded!
At noon, after class, Shen Qingmang stopped three senior students who were about to leave. "Seniors, don't sit in on the lectures every day. Let's go to the teaching and research group meeting directly."
"What group?" Qi Xiao asked.
"Go to Linyuan Palace."
In Linyuan Hall, four people sat at each end of the table, which was very suitable for playing mahjong.
Shen Qingmang spread out a few books on the table and said, "This is my latest teaching plan. Brothers, you can take a look at it. It covers the second level of the Hongmeng Lingchu Sutra, 'Opening of Heaven and Earth', as well as wood-based techniques."
Shi Mingli started reading first: "Course content, teaching objectives, teaching methods... these words are quite new."
"Is there anyone who doesn't understand, Big Brother?"
"No, it's very easy to understand. It's very clear and logical."
"Why are they all wood-based magic?" Qi Xiao asked, "Are there many students in your class who specialize in wood?"
"Because it's spring. Wood spirit energy is at its peak, making it the perfect time to teach wood-based techniques. There are also plenty of ready-made teaching materials in nature."
"That's true." Qi Xiao nodded.
"In spring, it is easy to practice woodworking skills and get twice the result with half the effort. But if they need to practice woodworking skills in summer, wouldn't it be extremely difficult?" Shi Mingli asked.
Shen Qingmang smiled and said, "Big Brother, you've been very thoughtful, but we must take our food one bite at a time and our journey one step at a time. They're still young, so the most important thing right now is to cultivate their interest in magic so they can quickly get started. Once they can master it easily, I'll increase the difficulty. For example, I'll have them practice earth magic in spring, training them to use earth-based magic when earth energy is at its scarcest."
Shi Mingli also nodded in approval.
"Brother Fengchun, do you have anything to ask?" Shen Qingmang looked at An Yanxiang.
An Yanxiang gave her a gentle smile. "No. I just miss my junior sister, so..."
"Well, I have something to ask, Senior Brother." Shen Qingmang interrupted him, "Senior Brother, you also know the special features of our Wuya Sect. We also have some knowledge of the techniques of other sects. Qingmang's understanding of the Wuwei Sect's techniques is not enough, so I would like to trouble Senior Brother to help Qingmang compile some teaching materials."
Shen Qingmang's plan was to keep An Yanxiang busy with other work so that he would not have time to cause trouble, but she was also prepared for the other party to refuse.
"Okay." An Yanxiang agreed readily. "I won't hide anything from my junior sister."
"Brother is so kind to me." Shen Qingmang said with a smile: "There is no time to lose, Brother, go now."
"Junior sister, this is too obvious, isn't it?" An Yanxiang leaned forward. "Senior brother has worked so hard for me, but I don't have any reward?"
Shi Mingli and Qi Xiao used their magic weapons at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Shen Qingmang sat upright in his seat, not even the curve of his lips changing. "This is the Peak Master's Linyuan Hall. Whoever dares to act rashly, get out!"
An Yanxiang sat back down, his smile growing even wider. "You guys at Wuya Peak always like to make a fuss out of nothing. Senior Brother is just trying to get a little sweet treat."
"What does Junior Brother Fengchun want? I will provide it." Shi Mingli said.
Qi Xiao also spoke up: "I... I don't have any money recently, but I can... wait for a few decades."
"I was just kidding. I'm devoted to Junior Sister. If I ask for payment for such a small favor, I'd seem petty. So, I'll be leaving now. I'll give Junior Sister a satisfactory explanation soon."
After saying that, An Yanxiang leisurely left. Qi Xiao rolled his eyes. "He's pretending to be generous. If you dare to ask him for help, be careful that all the money I lost to you will be taken away by him."
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. Qingmang knows what's going on."
Shen Qingmang discussed with them the teaching methods of internal strength. Shi Mingli taught her some experience, which she took careful notes.
After she sent them all away, she felt very relaxed and happy, and even hummed a little tune.
However, a month later, when she received the teaching materials compiled by Anyan Township, she couldn't help but sigh that this was really a cunning fox.
An Yanxiang did not hide his secrets and listed many Wuwei Sect techniques, which are very suitable for beginners.
However, there is a condition for using these spells, that is, they can only be used in the Wuwei Sect.
This person was not satisfied with just coming to Wuya Peak to see her, and wanted her to come to him on her own initiative.
