Yang Wei, who usually valued the teacher's authority the most, frowned. He was not used to this atmosphere, but he held back because he was dealing with Zu An. "In that case, please be a witness, so that no one will deny their defeat later."
Zuan spoke up, "Wait a minute."
"What, scared?" Yang Wei frowned, afraid that the other party would back down at this moment.
"Afraid?" Zuan chuckled. "I just want to find a witness for our bet."
Yang Wei pointed to the large group of students standing to the side: "What, aren't so many people enough to be witnesses?"
“Of course not,” Zuan said calmly. “If I lose, they will definitely have enough, but if you lose, the students’ words may not carry enough weight, since no one wants to offend their teacher.”
"I will lose?" Yang Wei laughed angrily. Although his cultivation level was not high, he was absolutely proud of his arithmetic skills and would not tolerate any doubt.
“Nothing in this world is absolute. If you’re not willing, then I won’t gamble.” Zu’an turned to leave.
Yang Wei assumed he was backing down at the last minute and immediately became anxious. He had finally managed to push him to this point, so how could he let him leave so easily? He hurriedly said, "Alright, then let's find another teacher to be a witness. But who is available right now?"
He was thinking of inviting a few of his close colleagues over when a clear and gentle voice came from outside the door: "Let me be the witness."
Such a soft and pleasant voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned around and looked, and the classroom, which had been noisy and bustling like a market, instantly became quiet.
A woman in a plain dress leaned languidly against the doorway. Her skin was fair, her lips were red, and her features were exquisite. Her dress was like gauze or mist, and the thin layer perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Although only half of her fair and slender arms and her fair and tender legs were exposed, it was enough to make any man's breath catch in his throat.
She possesses a unique charm; even just casually leaning against the door, she exudes an indescribable grace and elegance, her poise as captivating as a celestial fairy.
If it weren't for the blue wine pot hanging from her waist, one would have thought she was truly otherworldly at first glance.
"Teacher Shang... Teacher Shang!"
The classroom fell silent for a moment, then erupted into cheers as everyone rushed over, their faces filled with eager anticipation for the woman.
Even Yang Wei's breathing quickened. He was originally reluctant to come to the academy to teach. You know, the Ministry of Revenue is busy with official duties. If it weren't for the relevant regulations of the imperial court, he would never want to come to the academy to teach these little brats.
But ever since he first saw this woman at school, he no longer felt that teaching part-time was a chore. Instead, he would go to school whenever he had a chance, just to catch a glimpse of her.
Zuan was somewhat shocked because he had seen this woman before. The two of them had played the flute together in the pavilion... ptooey, ptooey, they made friends through music. At the time, he asked her name, but she refused to tell him, saying that they would meet again if they were destined to.
At the time, he was quite skeptical of this, thinking that with such a vast world, how easy would it be to reunite? Now he realized that the other party probably already knew he was a student of Mingyue Academy, which was why they were so certain that they would meet again.
He wasn't stupid. These people called her Teacher Shang, and the male students all looked like they were in heat. This woman must be Shang Liuyu, ranked third on the list of beauties.
No wonder the beautiful principal asked him if he knew Shang Liuyu, saying that she had secretly helped him change his qualification assessment record, and he had answered that he didn't know her. It turns out that she was Shang Liuyu, so everything makes sense.
Yang Wei, his previous gloomy expression gone, put on what he thought was his best smile and leaned over: "Teacher Shang, what brings you here?"
Shang Liuyu smiled faintly: "I just happened to be passing by and heard that it was quite lively inside, so I came to take a look."
The other person's smile made Yang Wei feel weak all over, but when he thought about what had happened in the classroom, his face flushed and he hurriedly explained, "It's mainly because a student is too disobedient, and I'm trying to teach him to respect his teacher."
Shang Liuyu glanced at Zuan from afar, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I think I just heard you guys were going to have a competition, so why don't I be a witness?"
Okay~
"Teacher Shang is the best!"
"I love Teacher Shang the most~"
The classroom erupted in cheers, demonstrating just how popular she was.
"This..." Yang Wei hesitated. Dealing with a delinquent student would have been a piece of cake for him, but if other teachers were involved, there would be more variables.
"What, you don't welcome me?" Shang Liuyu gazed at him quietly with her beautiful eyes, a mysterious charm naturally emanating from her brows.
This was the first time Yang Wei had spoken to her so closely. When he saw her flawless face, he felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow to the heart, and his breathing became rapid: "Welcome, of course you are welcome."
He thought for a moment and realized that he didn't usually interact with Shang Liuyu, so he could take this opportunity to show off his talents in front of her. Although he was not as good as others in cultivation, no one in the entire Bright Moon City could compare to him in arithmetic.
I don't usually get such a good opportunity to show off. I can't exactly drag her along and ask her to teach me math, can I? Today, I can naturally show off like this, which will definitely make her look at me differently.
"This way, Ms. Shang." Yang Wei led her to the main seat on the podium with a warm smile.
Seeing his bowing and scraping manner, Zu'an secretly despised him, thinking, "What an old simp."
Shang Liuyu casually found a seat and sat down, then smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and don't disturb their competition."
