Upon seeing Dean Rao, the group was taken aback for a moment, then they all became well-behaved, politely greeting Dean Rao before obediently going inside to find a seat.
The classroom is a spatial artifact; it doesn't look big from the outside, but it's very spacious inside.
Moreover, it's a tiered system, easily accommodating over a hundred people, which is why the entire freshman class wasn't divided into classes.
They arrived not late, but they were definitely not among the first to arrive either.
Perhaps because Dean Rao was there, no one dared to choose a seat randomly after entering; everyone sat down in order from front to back.
The first two rows were already full, so Shushu and his friends moved to the third row.
They remained silent for a while, but Shushu felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but secretly send a telepathic message to Lu Li, asking what was going on.
Then, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strong gaze fall on her. When she looked up, she met a pair of eyes that were looking at her with a half-smile.
Even though the other party didn't say anything, Shushu inexplicably felt that the other party must have discovered that he was transmitting his voice.
Feeling a little guilty, Shushu touched her nose and silently lowered her head, not daring to make any more moves. Only when she felt the gaze leave her did she quietly exhale.
Completely unaware of Dean Rao's uncontrollably upturned lips, and the white figure of Shushu, who was hiding on his left shoulder and excitedly watching him.
Lu Li did notice something, but when he looked in the direction he sensed, he saw nothing but Dean Rao.
Frowning, Lu Li stared at Dean Rao for a while longer, but seeing nothing unusual and not sensing any malice from him, he casually withdrew his gaze.
After carefully examining Shushu beside him and confirming that her Concealing Breath Technique was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to add another layer of insulation to the potato in front of Dean Rao. This made Dean Rao's mouth twitch, and the white shadow on his shoulder was so angry that it jumped up and down, clenched its claws, and punched his shoulder again and again.
Normally, Dean Rao would either dodge or pin this guy down by now.
But Lu Li was there at that moment, and he seemed to have sensed something just now. In order to avoid being discovered, Dean Rao could only forcefully withstand the fist that landed on his shoulder and steady himself.
You even have to use kind words and a sincere tone to coax the ancestor on your shoulder.
"Shutan, I'll definitely find a way to verify for you whether she's a treasure-hunting rat, or a baby rat from your clan. Please don't hit her yet, okay?"
When Dean Rao transmitted the last two words, he almost said them through gritted teeth.
Of course, the effect is also very obvious.
After hearing this, the white figure on the shoulder realized that it had taken its anger out on the wrong person. It silently withdrew its claws and stopped hitting and kicking. A guilty look flashed across its face.
If Lu Li and Shushu could see it, they would notice that this guilty conscience is similar to Shushu's, but unfortunately no one saw it.
Moreover, the guilty look on Shu Tan's face disappeared very quickly. In no time, it returned to its normal expression and, despite its lack of confidence, replied to Dean Rao with a telepathic message.
"Hurry up, I'm waiting to share the good news with my cousins."
After saying that, the white figure stared intently at the yam for a long while, as if it wanted to crawl onto the yam.
But apart from feeling very familiar, I didn't find anything else, and the blood connection remained completely unaffected.
Unable to confirm Shushu's identity, Shutan could only dejectedly return to the spirit beast pouch hanging at Dean Rao's waist and retreat into seclusion.
Just as Shu Tan returned to the spirit beast pouch, Shu Chi, who had been sleeping soundly for a long time and had finally recovered his energy, awoke in the Soul-Nourishing Wood of Shu Shu Space.
Sensing the presence of its own kind outside, it had Shushu grant it visual access and looked out for a long time, but found no one of its kind. So it stopped worrying about it and went to find Tianluo.
The millet was just like that, almost a tiny bit short of finding its family ahead of time.
Meanwhile, after Shu Tan patted his behind and slipped away, Dean Rao had no desire to stay. Ignoring the strange looks from the many freshmen below, he strolled away.
Only after turning the corner and being out of sight of everyone did he teleport back to his dean's office in a flash, activate the restriction, and begin to stretch his shoulder, which had just been punched by Shu Tan, grimacing.
While rubbing his shoulders, he opened the spirit beast pouch and muttered curses into it.
Even Shu Tan, who was hiding inside in a state of self-isolation, was angered by the scolding and came out to argue with him.
After hurling insults at each other for a while, the man and the rat probably felt that just hurling insults wasn't enough, and it's unclear who started it, but the man and the rat started fighting in the office.
It's still a very primitive way of playing: one person pulls the fur, one mouse pulls the hair, one person pulls the ear, and one mouse bites the arm.
Before long, the dean's room was covered with fur and hair, and red marks were left on the ears and arms of both the man and the mouse.
In the end, it was Dean Rao's other two contracted beasts who, seeing that they had almost finished fighting, stepped in to mediate. Each beast skillfully took charge of one of them and separated the man and the rat.
The man and the rat, who had been separated, snorted at each other in perfect unison before turning their backs. They ignored each other for a quarter of an hour before shaking hands, making peace, and apologizing to one another.
Then, after forgiving each other for their actions, the two of them, one human and one mouse, cleaned up the dean's office together, each collecting the fur that had fallen from their bodies, and even gave each other a healing pill in a rather ceremonial way.
After confirming that the injuries from the fight had healed, Shu Tan greeted Dean Rao and returned to his spirit beast pouch to reflect on his actions.
As for Dean Rao, he took out a bunch of jade slips from his storage ring, preparing to handle official business.
Unexpectedly, the first jade slip he picked up was the roster of this year's freshmen.
He immediately remembered that Shu Tan had seen a student named Shu Shu on the roster and thought that was the lost child of the clan, which was why he insisted on going to see him.
As a result, he took the rat with him, but Shu Tan himself couldn't verify it and even got into a fight with himself.
Recalling the blows to his shoulder, Dean Rao felt pain all over his body—his shoulder, his teeth, his head—and angrily tossed the jade slip aside.
Then, he glanced at the jade slip. Since it was something Shu Tan cared about, he took the jade slip back and also sent a letter to Liu Yu, wanting to ask Shu Tan what was going on.
