Chapter 237 The Genius of the Lamp-Ending Clan Who Was Buried as a Sacrifice"Teacher Xia Zhi, what's going on?"Summer Solstice lazily opened her eyes and said, "I'm waiting for you.""What...are you waiting for me for?"Pei Hening thought of the [Listening to the Tides] in her backpack and was about to take it out to return it to Xia Zhi when she heard her say, "Cysia asked me to cover your class today.""Why are you the one giving me lessons?"Seeing her confusion, Xia Zhi added, "It's not just me, but also 882222, arranged by Xixia."She walked towards the stairs, and seeing that she was still standing there, she said, "Follow me."Pei Hening followed, and Xia Zhi led her into the magic circle, teleporting her to the 38th floor.Xia Zhi led her to a large door with a bluebell pattern, then pushed it open and went inside.This is a studio for one person, bright and clean, with two strange-looking plants on the balcony.The workshop contained many cabinets covered with black silk cloth, but the only one not covered by a black cloth was the magic item crafting table in the very center of the room."sit."Pei Hening had just sat down when 882222 opened the door and came in, carrying a pile of materials, which it sorted and arranged."Ciscia said she would provide the materials the students needed for the classes."Xia Zhi put away the feather fan in her hand and looked at 882222 with a half-smile: "Really? Xixia is really generous."882222 spoke in a serious tone: "The consumption of teaching materials by students is not a waste."Pei Hening leaned back in her chair, glanced at Xia Zhi, and then at 882222.It wasn't her imagination; after 882222 finished explaining the materials she needed for class, Xia Zhi was somewhat unhappy."Teacher Xia Zhi, what is today's lesson?"She took the initiative to break the deadlock."Cysia asked me to teach you how to make escape magic items. I checked your course records and classroom performance. You haven't learned many of the principles yet. Right now, I can only teach you some of the most basic knowledge and guide you in making the simplest items."Xia Zhi frowned slightly, feeling that the task Xi Xixia had assigned her was quite challenging."The first point to note about the escape-type magical items you create is that they can only be triggered passively."Pei Hening pondered the meaning of the sentence: "Why were the personal operation functions removed?"Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "When faced with the need to escape, individual actions are too subjective and one-sided, and the consequences are unbearable."882222 listened calmly to their conversation, a flash of blue light occasionally appearing in her dull black eyes.Xia Zhi had never taught students before, and her teaching methods were much simpler and more direct compared to other teachers with mature teaching experience.She spoke concisely and clearly when recounting important points, and even unconsciously used some words that Pei Hening had never heard of before.Pei Hening would ask questions whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, and after nearly four hours of class, she hadn't even finished covering much of the teaching content.When class ended, Xia Zhi asked her, "Does Xixia always finish her lessons on time when she teaches you?""meeting."Xia Zhi was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand, get out of class is over."Just as Pei Hening was about to leave, Richard pushed open the door and stood outside the studio, his voice cold and deep, "Xia Zhi, I think I need to talk to you."Xia Zhi looked up at him and scoffed, "What are we talking about?"Richard stared intently at Xia Zhi with his blood-red eyes, his long purple hair gently ruffled by the restless magical elements emanating from him: "Come with me.""Student, go back by yourself."After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she walked towards the door.882222 stepped forward and handed the compiled classwork to Pei Hening: "Student, this is your homework for today."Pei Hening took the homework and put it away, then prepared to leave.She asked, "882222, do you know anything about 823786?"882222 calmly stated: "I don't know."After they left, Pei Hening also left her personal studio on the 38th floor. She wanted to find a magic circle to teleport down, but after searching twice without finding one, she had no choice but to walk down the stairs.As she passed the 27th floor, she glanced at it a couple more times—it was the school's medical room."Teacher, my condition shouldn't be serious, right?"Li Pangui's voice came from the open car window of the medical room.Caiyuan's mint-green eyes were filled with doubt. She said, "Yanjun, why do you keep peeking into fate? You've reached your limit in terms of the number of curses you can bear."Li Pangui feigned ignorance and laughed, "Just curious."Caiyuan didn't understand, and even doubted her intelligence because of her answer: "I suspect there's something wrong with the school's student allocation system. Maybe you shouldn't have been assigned to me."Li Pangui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, are you disgusted with me?""Hmm, you handled things rather stupidly."Pei Hening calmly walked downstairs, not hearing the rest of what was said, nor intending to listen any further.She had researched it and found that Caiyuan belonged to the Lantern Extinction Clan. Although they were also a long-lived race, the intensity of their emotions formed two extremes, making them the race most prone to producing geniuses and idiots. She had previously mentioned in her magic theory class that strong emotions were transformed into magic power, forming corresponding skills.The Encyclopedia of Species mentioned that all the geniuses of the Lantern Extinction Clan perished when their home planet was destroyed, leaving behind only the fools. Pei Hening had seen Caiyuan's profile in the liaison room before; she was far from being a fool.She was different from the description in the book, and Pei Hening didn't know where the mistake was. Was it a record error in the book, or had Caiyuan changed?[Princess Ningning]: Is get out of class over yet?[Princess Ningning]: Kitten tilting its head.jpg[Princess Ningning]: I miss you, I miss you so much~.She replied, "I walked down the stairs from the 38th floor, but I couldn't find the magic circle. It took me several minutes."When Pei Hening found Chu Xuange, she saw Wu Nanfei standing opposite him, the two of them quite a distance apart.She paused slightly, then walked towards Chu Xuange: "Let's go, let's go back.""I'm right here, little seedling~"Wu Nanfei quickly stepped forward and followed behind them.Chu Xuange held her hand and quickened his pace."Remember me, remember me, remember me~"In the parking lot, Helian Ye was hiding in a corner, chewing on a lollipop and playing with a lighter. When he heard a noise, he looked up and saw the people behind them. He was horrified and turned to leave.Wu Nanfei noticed him after all: "Helian Ye! Why are you running? Do you think I'd eat you?"Actually, it was Helian Ye's attire that was so eye-catching that it was hard to ignore him—today he was wearing a light blue swallowtail coat embroidered with blue morpho butterflies, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.Actually, he used to prefer flashy outfits, but he was still relatively restrained. However, since he started learning from the Pelicans, his outfits have become more and more extravagant.Helian Ye put the lighter in his pocket, looked at Wu Nanfei, and frowned: "You think I'd have anything good in store for me?
