Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Leng Qing, Tang Yue

Even Fang Yu couldn't help but glance sideways.

If a woman is merely beautiful, she inspires nothing more than endless fantasies. But when that woman possesses power and authority beyond others' reach, she becomes like poison, irresistible to men!

Heaven knew how many boys would forever enshrine Tang Yue as the goddess of their dreams after witnessing that scene.

They were both Magic Practice instructors, yet the spells cast by old Teacher Lian felt lifeless, dull enough to make one drowsy.

Tang Yue's magic, however, left a lasting imprint, shocking the heart and impossible to forget.

They weren't even in the same league!!

"Alright, which students in our class are of the Fire Element? Let me make a note," Tang Yue said, seemingly accustomed to the admiring gazes, and continued her lesson.

"I am." A girl with a hint of heroism in her features stepped forward first. It was Zhou Min, who had already caused a small stir during the Awakening Ceremony.

Zhou Min had been staring at Tang Yue the entire time. At first, she hadn't liked her at all—what kind of instructor dressed so provocatively and spoke in such a soft, alluring voice?

But after witnessing Tang Yue cast Fire Burst · Scorch, Zhou Min's attitude flipped completely. Admiration surged within her.

"Me too, and me. Instructor Tang Yue, I'm Fire Element. My name is Huang Feifeng." Another male student who had Awakened the Fire Element eagerly stepped forward.

Just look at the excitement on Huang Feifeng's face.

Everyone knew that if your Magic Practice instructor shared your element, you'd practically receive special tutoring, like a direct disciple.

Huang Feifeng felt unbelievably lucky. To become Tang Yue's direct disciple just like that, who could say she wouldn't someday admire his talent and develop feelings for him?

"Don't stop me! I'm going to the rooftop! Why didn't I Awaken the Fire Element? Why?!" wailed a boy who had Awakened the Water Element.

"I… Instructor, I'm also Fire… Fire Element. I—I'm Zhao Daniu." A stuttering boy stepped forward. When his eyes met Tang Yue's, his entire face flushed red.

Sigh, clearly someone who usually didn't get much attention.

Tang Yue looked at him and couldn't help but laugh softly. "You're clearly quite skinny. Why did your parents name you Daniu?"

"I… I'm weak. My parents hoped I'd grow strong like an ox."

"Then you should be called Zhao Fast-Tongue," Zhao Kunsan sneered immediately.

His mockery was clearly aimed at Zhao Daniu's stutter.

"Mm, anyone else?" Tang Yue's gaze swept across the class.

Only three Fire Element students in a class?

That was a bit few.

From their aura, it seemed only the girl named Zhou Min had decent talent and solid cultivation progress.

"There's me too. My name is Mo Fan."

Mo Fan strode out from the crowd, brimming with confidence.

He was in an excellent mood!

He had just completed his Lightning Element spell and was about to begin learning Fire Element, only for such a powerful Fire Element instructor to arrive.

Seamless transition!

Wasn't this the treatment reserved for the Child of Destiny?

After finishing her notes, Tang Yue addressed the class:

"This semester is crucial. At the end of the year, there will be the Annual Assessment. First, students who fail will be asked to leave the school. Second, students will be reclassified based on performance. Those assigned to the Seed Class will receive special attention, giving you a greater advantage when applying to Magic Universities. So this semester, you have no excuse not to work hard."

"Instructor Tang Yue, will you teach the Seed Class?" a male student asked.

"Yes. If nothing unexpected happens, after finishing teaching you, I will serve as the Practice Instructor for the Seed Class," Tang Yue nodded slightly.

"Instructor, I, Huang Feifeng, will definitely work twice as hard!"

"Tang Yue, I'm sticking with you from now on!"

Tang Yue maintained her gentle smile. It was clear her first lesson had been quite successful, the students' enthusiasm for learning had been thoroughly ignited.

"Oh, and if any of you can fully control seven stars, you may come find me privately. I'll set aside personal time to give you additional guidance," Tang Yue added.

"Awoooo~~~~~~"

The classroom instantly erupted in a chorus of wolf-like howls!

Seven stars suddenly became everyone's goal.

It wasn't just about the Fire Element anymore, the opportunity to spend private time with the beautiful instructor had arrived!

After class ended, Fang Yu was walking toward the school exit when Tang Yue unexpectedly called him to her office.

He was quite puzzled.

He wasn't even Fire Element, why was he being singled out?

Entering the office, Fang Yu discovered that Tang Yue actually had a private office of her own. Truly someone with connections.

Tsk tsk!

Dim lighting. One man, one woman.

Stay calm, stay calm.

How could he allow his thoughts to wander in such a sacred office?

"Have a seat." Tang Yue poured a glass of water and handed it to Fang Yu.

"Thank you."

Fang Yu took the water and sat down on the nearby sofa, waiting for Tang Yue to reveal why she had summoned him here alone.

He couldn't figure out why she had called him in.

At that moment, Tang Yue's lively eyes fell on Fang Yu. As she attempted to probe his aura, her lips parted slightly.

'My perception is being blocked by a mental force?'

Tang Yue was puzzled.

As far as she knew, Fang Yu was an orphan. Since when could he afford such a valuable magic item?

As for why she had called Fang Yu here, it was because her good friend and also her superior, Leng Qing had instructed her to pay special attention to him.

Did Leng Qing have some deeper intention?

'Is there something wrong with this person, or is Fang Yu's situation connected to this mission's target?'

With a soft sigh, Tang Yue stopped overthinking.

Leng Qing's recent assignment had already been unusual, suddenly withdrawing the Judgment Council's forces from Bo City and replacing them with an entirely new group.

And now she was told to observe Fang Yu. Something significant must have happened.

"You seem to be hiding your cultivation," Tang Yue said first as she sat down.

"A senior gifted me a magic item that can block spiritual detection," Fang Yu replied.

Not discovered.

He touched the necklace on his chest. With this necklace in the future, he wouldn't need to worry too much about exposing himself.

Fang Yu let out a quiet breath of relief.

Silence lingered for a moment.

Fang Yu sipped his water and said nothing more.

After a short while.

Tang Yue broke the quiet. "What's your cultivation level?"

"I can control five stars," Fang Yu answered.

"Five stars?" Tang Yue looked at the man before her and teased, "Five stars, and you need such a precious magic item to hide it?"

"I was lucky enough to obtain a magic item," Fang Yu said, his heart thumping.

Naturally, he wouldn't reveal his true cultivation, nor would he disclose how he obtained the magic item.

As for whether Tang Yue would be suspicious that didn't matter.

As long as he didn't admit anything, who could prove it?

Although he knew Tang Yue belonged to a righteous faction, exposing himself could still easily invite suspicion.

"People who hide things always say they were lucky," Tang Yue said with a smile.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Fang Yu lowered his gaze and said softly, "I don't."

"Someone is interested in you, so I wanted to see what makes you different."

"Who?"

"Let's not mention that for now. You'll find out eventually." Tang Yue shook her head, then asked, "Do you know about the Judgment Council?"

"I know a little," Fang Yu replied.

"Interested?"

"The members are all outstanding figures among the Mid-Tier. I wouldn't dare to dream of it," Fang Yu shook his head.

In truth, he had no interest at all.

Tang Yue belonged to the Lingyin Judgment Council.

And the Lingyin Judgment Council had traitors within its ranks; it was already riddled with internal corruption.

Joining them would only bring trouble upon himself.

"Is that so?" Tang Yue pondered for a moment before saying, "No rush. You still have time to grow. As your instructor, I believe in you. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation later on, you can contact me anytime."

Fang Yu nodded and thanked her.

Afterward, Tang Yue saw Fang Yu out, lost in thought.

Drawing him into the Judgment Council, even guiding his cultivation, was all to maintain direct contact with him, so she could better understand the true situation.

That was the primary objective, and it could also be considered fulfilling Leng Qing's instructions.
