When Xu Sheng arrived outside the classroom, he could vaguely see an elderly teacher intently giving a lesson...
However, the students below showed a lack of enthusiasm, as if they found it extremely dull!
Especially Tang Wulin and the others, their expressions clouded over, as if they were pondering something...
But, with their sharp eyes, they seemed to have spotted Xu Sheng outside the door...
Wei Xiaofeng rubbed his eyes, and when he confirmed that it was Xu Sheng outside the door, he exclaimed, "Look, isn't that Teacher Xu standing outside the door!"
Zhang Yangzi said joyfully, "It really is! Teacher Xu has finally come back!! Even though she is our homeroom teacher, she has been elusive these past few days!"
Xie Xie glanced at them and said, "Don't you know? Teacher Xu went with the other teachers to exterminate an evil Soul Master stronghold. I heard that only a third of the teachers made it back alive!"
Xu Xiaoyan patted her chest and said, "Hiss... I didn't know about this, but luckily, Teacher Xu wasn't injured!"
Hearing these sudden conversations, the rest of the students also noticed Xu Sheng standing outside...
"Teacher Xu! It really is Teacher Xu, thank goodness he wasn't injured during the extermination of the evil Soul Master stronghold."
"So this handsome man is actually our homeroom teacher? I almost forgot!"
"No matter who it is, the teacher in front of us is just too boring, I simply can't learn a thing!"
"Teacher Xu is finally here, just looking at his face makes me immediately interested in studying!"
"Mm-hmm! Just talking about it makes me not sleepy at all!"
"In the whole Shrek Academy, could there be any teacher handsomer than Teacher Xu?"
Meanwhile, the teacher who was lecturing pushed up his thick glasses and also glanced towards Xu Sheng, speaking with a tinge of surprise, "Teacher Xu, you're back?"
It seemed he was somewhat taken aback that Xu Sheng had returned alive!
After all, there weren't many teachers who came back from the operation to exterminate the evil Soul Master stronghold, and he had been preparing to take over as the homeroom teacher!
But now it seemed that wasn't necessary!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes! I've been troubling you to substitute for me these past few days, Miss Wang."
Miss Wang shook her head and laughed lightly, "It's nothing, we're all colleagues. It's just that my teaching might be very dull, and the students don't seem very interested."
"Alright, let's not talk too much, I'll leave now!"
With that said, the teacher slowly turned around and left the classroom at a leisurely pace...
Then, Xu Sheng walked back up to the podium and, with a smile on his face, looked down at the students sitting below...
He said softly, "It seems you all missed me a lot during these days we've not seen each other!"
As soon as his words fell, the entire classroom burst into noise...
"Teacher Xu, did you really go to participate in the operation to exterminate the evil Soul Master stronghold during the time you were away?"
"Yeah, Teacher Xu, tell us about what happened, I heard it was quite serious!"
"Why did so many teachers lose their lives this time, was the enemy too strong?"
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu..."
Hearing these numerous questions, Xu Sheng remained composed and said, "Everyone, quiet down first!"
In an instant, the whole classroom fell silent within a few seconds...
Each student closed their mouths, staring intently at Xu Sheng, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt...
Only then did Xu Sheng begin to explain, "First of all, I indeed left to participate in the operation to exterminate an evil Soul Master stronghold!"
"As for why nearly two-thirds of the teachers were lost, it was due to some unexpected occurrences during the extermination process. However, I can't tell you the specifics just yet!"
After hearing this explanation, the students all nodded thoughtfully...
Xu Sheng smiled again and said, "So, does anyone else have any questions? If not, let's get ready for class!"
Just then, a male student raised his hand somewhat hesitantly and said, "Teacher Xu! I have one more thing to ask!!"
Xu Sheng looked at him and asked indifferently, "What is your question?"
The male student took a deep breath, his face turning red as he said, "Teacher Xu, are you and Teacher Shen Yi together? When I was passing by the restroom, I happened to overhear her asking if you had a partner."
As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if a bomb had been dropped, instantly heating up the atmosphere...
"I... I must be hearing things, right? The White-haired Witch actually confessed to our Teacher Xu?"
"What? The White-haired Witch confessed to Teacher Xu, am I hallucinating?!"
"Teacher Xu's charm is indeed irresistible, but Teacher Shen is too bold! She actually dared to ask such a question directly!"
"Teacher Xu, you mustn't agree! No one can stand the White-haired Witch's temperament!"
"Exactly, even though she looks quite a match for Teacher Xu, she's just too fierce!"
Hearing these nonsensical remarks, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Everybody, don't talk nonsense, Teacher Shen Yi and I do not have that kind of relationship."
"Teacher Xu, stop quibbling!"
"They say it's like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but only a thin layer of yarn for a woman to chase a man, I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Teacher Xu is my god... and now he's been snatched away by Teacher Shen, wuu wuu wuu..."
"Curse that White-haired Witch for taking our Teacher Xu for herself!"
Seeing this, Xu Sheng shook his head helplessly...
After today, the whole Shrek Academy would know about this!
As for why he didn't explain, it was because the more he explained, the darker it became...
...
The next day, as Teacher Shen Yi encountered other teachers face to face, they all looked at her with strange glances, even saying, "Congratulations, Teacher Shen!"
"Teacher Shen, I'm really envious; I never thought it would turn out like this!"
"I don't know what to say, but I still want to congratulate you, Teacher Shen."
Hearing this, Shen Yi, looking completely baffled, could only respond blankly, "Hmm? Thank... thank you all for your concern."
But she just took it as congratulations for surviving the operation against the evil Soul Masters!
After shaking her head, she walked into a nearby room...
Seeing the one seated there, Turbid World, she respectfully asked, "Teacher, did you want to see me?"
Turbid World looked up at her with a very complex gaze and said, "Shen Yi, I heard you and Xu Sheng are together?"
Upon hearing this, a blush spread across Shen Yi's cheeks...
She hurriedly explained, "Teacher, what are you talking about, how... how could I possibly be with him!"
Seeing Shen Yi's demure reaction, Turbid World shook his head and muttered to herself, "Girls grow up and leave the nest."
Then, with a touch of annoyance, she said, "Stop pretending, the whole Shrek Academy is talking about how you confessed to Teacher Xu."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment and then, looking utterly confused, she pointed at herself and said, "Me? Confess to Xu Sheng?? Teacher, are you joking?"
When did she confess to Xu Sheng?
How come she didn't know about it?
