Chapter 1343 Wu Dousi's Question (Please Subscribe)_1
Ye Xinglan's brow furrowed slightly as she thought to herself, "What could be the matter? Why does everyone's expression seem so much more serious all of a sudden?"
Could it be that it was something very important?
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said word by word, "Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, since the two of you have joined our team, I think it's necessary to remind you that the forging assessment we're taking on isn't for Mechas but for One-Word Battle Armor!"
After he spoke, Gu Yue and the others beside him all nodded affirmatively...
His words caused Ye Xinglan's pupils to dilate sharply as she exclaimed, "What?? Battle Armor!! Have you all gone mad?"
Just first-year students and already daring to attempt crafting Battle Armor—this was simply impossible!
And if the creation failed, not only would her and Xu Lizhi's overall assessment take a dive, but they could even be expelled from Shrek Academy along with the others!!
Xu Lizhi rubbed his head and asked with a naive earnestness, "One-Word Battle Armor... with our group's forging ability, is it really possible to make it?"
Xie Xie explained, "Although there's no one hundred percent guarantee, we've already come up with a design for the One-Word Battle Armor beforehand, so it's not impossible to make!"
Gu Yue nodded her head and said, looking firmly at Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, "Yes! Because this matter is related to the final comprehensive assessment, we must tell you!"
Ye Xinglan pursed her thin lips and said coldly, "That means that you aren't sure either!"
Without absolute certainty, they dared to set their sights on One-Word Battle Armor—were all the members of this team crazy?
However, Tang Wulin smiled slightly and confidently said, "No... as long as we gather the necessary materials, I am one hundred percent sure!"
This was thanks to Gu Yue's design of the One-Word Battle Armor, although he didn't know why she could design it so exquisitely!
Hearing these words, Ye Xinglan narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Hmph, the gap between One-Word Battle Armor and Mechas isn't as simple as you might think, or rather, why should we believe you!"
Tang Wulin took a step forward and calmly presented his level 5 blacksmith badge, "Because I am a Grandmaster Forger! Is that enough for you?"
Ye Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "Grand... Grandmaster Forger??"
A glint flashed across Xu Lizhi's mind, and he hastily reminded her, "Sister Xinglan, I seem to recall hearing in the Inner Court that there was a student in the Outer Court who achieved Grandmaster-level forging while only at three rings. It must be Tang Wulin!"
Ye Xinglan stared deeply at Tang Wulin and after several seconds, she finally sighed and said, "I understand, then let's do it your way!"
If they could indeed create Battle Armor, it would surely elevate their comprehensive assessment much higher than the other students and greatly help them rejoin the Inner Court!!
At that moment, Gu Yue extended her tender, smooth palm and said softly, "Then, let me officially welcome you to the team!"
...
In another place, within Xu Sheng's office!
There sat Wu Dousi, her cheeks flushed, those beautiful eyes carefully watching the charming figure of Xu Sheng before her.
Even her heart couldn't help beating a bit faster...
Xu Sheng asked gently, "Wu Dousi, do you need anything from me?"
Wu Dousi bit her thin lip and said softly, "Xu... Teacher Xu, there's something I want to ask you."
Dammit… Although she could put on an indifferent facade in front of others, in front of Teacher Xu, she couldn't control herself at all!
Xu Sheng expressed his surprise, "Oh? Let's hear it. Maybe I can help."
Wu Dousi clenched her hands and, summoning courage from nowhere, pressed on with her question, "Teacher Xu, I want to know... what exactly is your relationship with Tang Wulin and the others?"
At the beginning of the school term, she had already noticed something off about the relationship between Xu Sheng and Tang Wulin's group—it was as if they had known each other for a long time!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng asked with a smile, "Before I answer, may I know why you are asking this question?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Dousi lowered her head and chose to remain silent…
Xu Sheng gave her a casual look and said languidly, "Well, it's alright to tell you. Before I joined Shrek Academy, I served as a teacher at East Sea Academy, and Tang Wulin and his group were the students I was responsible for!"
Wu Dousi's beautiful eyes shimmered as she thought to herself, "So that's it. No wonder Teacher Xu favors Tang Wulin and his group!"
However, before she could say anything, Xu Sheng spoke again, "You all have been deliberately ostracizing Tang Wulin and his group recently, haven't you?"
Caught so directly, Wu Dousi was stunned at first but then, without changing her expression, she admitted, "That's right!"
Xu Sheng propped up her chin, and her dark eyes looked straight at Wu Dousi, "And your reason?"
The one being observed felt like her whole being was laid bare before the other's gaze. After swallowing hard, she said reluctantly, "Gu Yue's strength is inferior to mine, and even the students in her group don't match up to me. Why should she be the class president of class one? I don't accept it!"
"If Teacher Xu, you truly intend to favor Gu Yue and the others, then I… have nothing more to say!"
After speaking the second sentence, it was as if she had expended all her strength!
Xu Sheng stood up, walked up to Wu Dousi, and slowly raised her hand…
Seeing this, Wu Dousi braced herself for whatever punishment was to come…
However, the next second, a warm sensation came from atop her head, sending her into a daze…
Teacher Xu then gently stroked her hair and smiled, "Wu Dousi, don't think like that. Every child in class one is my student. I would neither favor nor deliberately single out anyone."
As long as they weren't too excessive, he didn't intend to intervene in class matters!
Reveling in the warmth, Wu Dousi suddenly came to her senses, and blushing, she said, "Teacher… Teacher Xu, your… your gesture is a bit… too intimate!"
Since she was little, no one had ever dared to touch her head like that…
Unexpectedly, today Teacher Xu had broken her first time!!
She should have been angry, but why was she feeling a touch of joy deep in her heart?
Teacher Xu immediately withdrew his hand, apologizing with a hint of regret, "Sorry, it was the teacher's mistake."
Realizing her cheeks growing hotter, Wu Dousi hurriedly said, "It's… it's alright, um, Teacher Xu, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now!"
If she continued to stay beside Teacher Xu, she feared she might behave even more strangely!
With that, she turned around and swiftly left the office…
Watching her retreating figure, a smile formed on the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth…
This Wu Dousi, her personality really is cold on the outside but warm on the inside…
