Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 5

About five minutes after Li Jianwen hung up the phone, there was a knock on the office door. At that moment, Li Jianwen was laughing and chatting with Ye Xiao when he called out to the door, "Come in!"

The office door opened, and a beautiful silhouette appeared at the entrance. The khaki work clothes highlighted a devilish figure, and long hair complemented a pretty face. This... this was actually Su Yun, the very Su Yun, who had earlier directed Ye Xiao to the office building, Teacher Su!

After Su Yun entered the office and saw Ye Xiao, she was also somewhat surprised!

"Principal Li, did you want to see me for something?" Su Yun said with a smile, looking towards Li Jianwen!

Although Su Yun seemed very natural, Li Jianwen hesitated a little; a nearly imperceptible drool could be seen at the corner of his mouth. However, he recovered quickly enough that Su Yun didn't notice, but Ye Xiao, with his keen observation skills, saw it clearly!

"Teacher Su, let me introduce you, this is Ye Xiao, a new student who has just arrived at our school. The school has decided to assign Ye Xiao to the class you manage, Class One!" Li Jianwen said to Su Yun!

Su Yun replied, "Okay, no problem. So your name is Ye Xiao!"

Ye Xiao, smiling, looked at Su Yun and said, "Teacher Su, we two who come from different places should help each other from now on!"

Su Yun said, "From now on you are my student, if there's any problem, come and talk to me immediately!"

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Li Jianwen and said, "Principal Li, Teacher Su is not only beautiful but also has a beautiful heart. Ah, good people like her are really hard to find in this world these days!"

Li Jianwen replied, "Of course, Teacher Su is a model among our school's teachers. Teacher Su, do not fail the school's expectations of you!"

Inside, Su Yun was wondering what was going on with these two, how their conversation flowed back and forth. And how could Ye Xiao speak so casually with the principal!

Ye Xiao seemed to sense Su Yun's concern and promptly said, "Teacher Su, why don't you first take me to see the class? It will have a great impact on my future studies and life!"

Ye Xiao spoke earnestly, and even Su Yun wanted to laugh because when Ye Xiao was serious, he was actually quite amusing!

Su Yun looked at Li Jianwen, who immediately said, "Teacher Su, Ye Xiao is a student who loves to study. You'll have to take good care of him from now on. Now, why don't you take him to the classroom?"

Su Yun nodded in agreement and then left Li Jianwen's office together with Ye Xiao!

After leaving the office building, Su Yun could not help but ask Ye Xiao while walking, "Ye Xiao, are you very familiar with Principal Li?"

"First meeting, what about it?"

"It just seemed like you two were very familiar with each other!"

Ye Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "With an obedient student like me, the principal obviously likes talking to me!"

Su Yun let out a slight smile, thinking to herself that this Ye Xiao was quite full of himself!

Afterward, the two of them quickly arrived at the teaching area and found Class One. Through the conversation with Su Yun along the way, Ye Xiao learned that Minghai Academy's campus was quite large, with four teaching areas corresponding to Elementary Level, Middle Level, High Level, and Retention Level.

There shouldn't have been a Retention Level class, but to ensure the school's promotion rate, those who stayed back in the higher levels but had better academic performance were placed in the Retention Level to repeat the year. With over twenty classes in each grade, one could just imagine how many students there were!

This was the time for the last morning class, a self-study period. When Ye Xiao and Su Yun were about to enter the classroom, there was a clamor inside. Ye Xiao noticed that Su Yun's brow was furrowed -- evidently, she was somewhat displeased!

As Su Yun approached the classroom doorway, the students from Class One immediately grew silent!

Despite Su Yun being relatively young, only in her early twenties, she was after all the class head teacher, and very few students dared to disobey the head teacher!

"The self-study period should look like a self-study period!" Su Yun entered the classroom stern-faced.

All the students didn't dare make a sound, but at that moment, all eyes were on Ye Xiao, dressed like a worker, drawing their attention. If not for the backpack he was carrying, one could exhaust all their brain cells and still not expect that Ye Xiao was actually here to study!

Su Yun motioned for Ye Xiao to stand at the podium and said, "This is Ye Xiao, and starting today, he will become a member of Class One. Everyone should help and take care of each other from now on. Now, let's welcome Ye Xiao to our class!"

Su Yun's voice had barely faded when a round of vigorous applause broke out!

At this time, Ye Xiao's gaze also wandered quickly through the entire class. He suddenly realized that even the least attractive student in the classroom could be considered average!

"Good! Good!" Ye Xiao sighed in relief, unconsciously muttering to himself!

After Ye Xiao muttered "good, good," the whole class turned to look at him. Nobody had any idea what he meant by that, not even Su Yun.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Xiao realized what was wrong and quickly adjusted his expression to one of slight excitement and continued, "I'm glad everyone doesn't mind me. Thank you all. From now on, we're classmates. If there's ever anything you need help with, just ask Ye Xiao. I'll do my best. Haha, my name is Ye Xiao, please take care of me!"

Just then, Su Yun suddenly turned to several empty seats in the third-to-last row and asked, "What about Han Fei and the other three? Ling Shuya, where did they go?"

Ye Xiao was standing next to Su Yun, so when she mentioned "Ling Shuya", Ye Xiao perked up. He clearly remembered Ling Hengyu saying his only daughter was Ling Shuya, who was also Ye Xiao's current employer. Ye Xiao immediately looked toward the students, trying to spot which one was Ling Shuya!

However, just as Ye Xiao was looking at the average-looking female students to his sides, a tall girl in the middle of the fourth row stood up!

Ye Xiao was slightly startled when the girl stood; was this his employer, Ling Shuya?

So this is what Ling Shuya looks like?

Ling Shuya, who stood up in the classroom, looked completely different from the one in Ye Xiao's mind. Ling Shuya truly lived up to her name, with delicate and fair elastic skin, and a pair of big eyes that made her look incredibly intelligent. Su Yun was among the top beauties, and Ling Shuya was no less attractive than Su Yun at this moment. Moreover, Ling Shuya was still growing; she might even surpass Su Yun in beauty in the future!

The employer isn't ugly at all!

Ye Xiao, who had been anxious all this time, finally relaxed. It seemed his worries were unnecessary!

Ling Shuya stood and said, "They didn't ask me for leave, so I don't know where they went."

Su Yun gestured for Ling Shuya to sit down before looking at Ye Xiao and saying, "For now, you can sit there!"

The seat Su Yun referred to was previously mentioned as Han Fei's place. Ye Xiao quickly walked over and plopped down into the seat!

However, as Ye Xiao sat down, many cast complicated looks toward him. Clearly, everyone doubted it was a good idea for Ye Xiao to sit there. At the moment, Ye Xiao was still caught up in the excitement of his employer's looks and entering the classroom, so he didn't notice much!

The person who paid most attention to Ye Xiao wasn't someone else but Ling Shuya herself. However, her expression was consistently unpleased, and her eyes were practically glaring at Ye Xiao, as if he owed her money!

Soon after Ye Xiao took his seat, the class was dismissed, and Ye Xiao hesitated about whether to talk to Ling Shuya. After thinking it over, he decided not to, assuming he might be unwelcome, so he prepared to leave the classroom. It was also lunchtime, so he was planning to find something to eat as he was quite hungry by now!

But as he passed by Ling Shuya's seat, he heard her say, "Ye Xiao, come here!"

Ye Xiao was taken aback, not knowing what Ling Shuya wanted with him, but still went over immediately—who could refuse the employer?

"Miss Ling..." Ye Xiao began, courteously approaching to say "What can I do for you, Miss Ling?"

But Ling Shuya glared at him, and Ye Xiao immediately understood that she didn't want too many people to know her real identity. After all, it would be absolutely disadvantageous for Ling Shuya if everyone knew!

"I don't know how you fooled my dad, but let me tell you, you'd better be ready to leave at any time. I don't need a study partner, and I certainly don't need a bodyguard!" Ling Shuya's voice wasn't loud, but close enough for Ye Xiao and a girl next to Ling Shuya to hear clearly!

Ye Xiao inwardly smiled wryly; he never wanted to be her bodyguard in the first place. He had clearly refused, but her father had threatened him to take the job, and now she was objecting too!

Before Ye Xiao could respond, the curious girl next to Ling Shuya looked at him and said, "Eh? Something's not right. Aren't bodyguards supposed to be like the handsome, tough guys in the movies? How come it's a kid who's about the same age as us? Hey, Ye Xiao, can you fight?"

Ye Xiao noticed the girl next to Ling Shuya for the first time, standing with a graceful figure and just as beautiful as Ling Shuya, if not more so. However, this girl seemed to be developing slower than Ling Shuya, so her chest wasn't as prominent, but surely she'd be a beauty capable of causing chaos in a few years!

Looking annoyed, Ling Shuya glanced at Ye Xiao and said, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go; don't let people really think we have something to do with each other!"

Ye Xiao wasn't bothered by Ling Shuya's disgust. Ling Hengyu had already mentioned that Ling Shuya was a willful girl and, living in a wealthy family, it would be strange if she didn't have some princess-like temper!

Ye Xiao was actually preparing to leave and find someplace to eat, as that was the main agenda!

But just then, the ever-mischievous Zhou Yuyan, the beautiful girl next to Ling Shuya, smiled and said, "Ye Xiao, don't go just yet. Shuya really needs protection. There's a guy named Han Fei in our class who always bothers Shuya. Go give him a lesson, and maybe Shuya will accept you then!"
