It's just so subtle that it makes you think it's all an illusion.
"This is one of the reasons why the academy encourages mutual learning and exchange."
Honglian said calmly.
"After all, power is just a kind of energy, different from the elemental vortex within the body. Once power is depleted, it can be slowly restored."
"Students can improve themselves through appropriate exchanges and discussions, which is the purpose of the academy."
Xiao He narrowed his eyes: "Encouraging fighting?"
"The wording is a bit off, but it's close enough."
After Honglian finished speaking, she forked a large piece of meat and put it in her mouth, without explaining further, leaving him to digest it himself.
The two finished their dinner in silence.
After putting down his utensils, Xiao He wiped his mouth, as if he had made a decision.
"Instructor Honglian, how about this?"
Xiao He said earnestly, "You are from this world and know it better than we do. The five of us have joined the Fifth Rank, and you will lead us. Whatever honor you need us to win for the Fifth Rank, we will do our best. We can even help you find clues about the old dean in the final forbidden land. We don't have much time. Just take us through the shortcuts and level up as quickly as possible."
Honglian silently took a sip of red wine.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled.
"I might not be as capable as you think."
"I'm level 70, and I haven't broken through in three years."
"Isn't that because you didn't go to other continents?" Xiao He asked.
“So, the only one I’m familiar with is Nuojin.” Honglian shook her head: “If you go to other continents, I can’t help you much.”
"Then let's go together?"
"Together?" Honglian was taken aback.
Good grief, are you inviting me to form an expedition team?!
“That’s right!” Xiao He said without blushing or skipping a beat, “Who said you can only team up if you’re of similar levels?”
Honglian silently put down her wine glass: "To be honest, what kind of person are you in your world?"
Xiao He glanced at the wine bottle and glass on the table, then poured himself a drink.
"Me? Just a spineless man."
Honglian nodded, and was about to say something when her eyes suddenly widened.
“You heard me right, I said a man.” Xiao He said, “I am a man.”
“I…” Honglian opened her mouth wide and stared at him intently.
"No need to look anymore, this body belongs to a girl, and I am not her."
Xiao He explained helplessly, "This is what I mean by 'power leveling.' My soul crosses over from my world to control all her actions until the mission is completed. Only then will I leave her body and exit this world."
Upon hearing all this, Honglian was completely petrified, and it took her a long time to even move the corner of her mouth.
"No wonder...no wonder! I knew it, there was something off about you, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it..."
Honglian slapped her forehead hard, and after a long while, she asked, "So, what's your name? How old are you?"
Xiao He was sixteen years old.
"Not the lotus flower."
"It is the 'He' in 'Naihe' (奈何)."
Xiao He paused three times before finishing his sentence.
Honglian gave an "oh" and then began to process the information alone in a daze.
Since he confessed, Xiao He has gradually become more and more unruly.
They no longer sit like "ladylike ladies".
He kicked off his shoes and socks and sat cross-legged on the sofa.
Then he picked up a plate of fresh fruit from the table, ate them one by one, and looked completely satisfied.
for a long time.
“Okay…” Honglian nodded with great difficulty: “Alright then.”
"Absolutely! Trust us! We're professional! Crown Studio! Reputation guaranteed!"
Xiao He patted his chest repeatedly, making it seem to anyone unaware that he had just choked on a piece of fruit.
Honglian rolled her eyes at him.
Now that she knew he was a "younger brother," she became less polite.
"Go wash the dishes. I cook, so you have to wash the dishes, or we won't have anything to eat next time."
"..."
-
Nothing was said that night.

"Waaah—"
The morning exercise horn of the Cloud Academy has sounded.
The sky was barely bright.
Xiao He was sleeping soundly in the room assigned to him by Honglian when he suddenly heard a loud bang, which startled him so much that he sat up reflexively.
Honglian stood in front of him with her hands on her hips.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, with a hint of murderous intent.
The door to the side creaked and shook, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
"Ah... good morning, teacher..." Xiao He said blankly.
"Get up! There's a department meeting today!" Honglian roared.
"Waaah..." Xiao He pouted, her watery eyes welling up with "tears": "Teacher, you used to be so gentle..."
Honglian grabbed his ear without any hesitation.
"You still dare to talk? Why didn't you tell me sooner? You've been taking advantage of me for so long! Gentle? You're dreaming! Get up!!"
Today, Honglian wore a relatively conservative top.
She wore a white sleeveless shirt, with not a single button undone at the chest, yet it still accentuated her curvaceous figure.
Her lower body was covered by a black business skirt, and the tattoos on her legs were covered by a pair of stockings.
She used the red ribbon that was originally tied to her arm as a hairband, tying her long hair high behind her head, and she really did look like a senior teacher.
Xiao He suddenly realized that his gaze might have been a bit impolite, so he quickly looked away and scratched his head sheepishly: "The Academy Meeting... why does that sound so familiar?"
"That proves you didn't forget what happened yesterday after you took a nap." Honglian smiled knowingly.
"yesterday……"
Xiao He pondered deeply.
Yesterday, there was a guy who came in and immediately wanted to play a challenge, then lost terribly, and it was even recorded by some high-tech device.
Is it true that today, that senior student is going to play a video in the square?
