Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Teacher Cangfeng."

Xia Xiyao bowed politely and greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see."

"It's really a surprise to see you all here," Cang Feng said. "You must all be very busy these days, especially Ye Ge. I didn't expect you to still have time to come back to the academy."

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "Principal Lan Mi asked us to come back and serve as special instructors for a day."

Cang Feng nodded: "So that's how it is. You're the specially appointed instructors today. Perfect, I'm the one who's here to greet you. Come with me."

Ye Ge and the others followed Cang Feng forward, chatting as they walked.

The atmosphere in the academy today was a bit strange. Many students and teachers were walking around in a hurry, and there were also some armored off-road vehicles driving around the academy. Ye Ge and his colleagues were very familiar with those vehicles, as they were used when carrying out specific missions. But today there were so many armored vehicles parked in the academy, which was obviously not right.

"What happened?" Ye Ge asked.

Cang Feng said, "Something has happened. In the past few months, there have been several mysterious missing persons cases in the outer ring of the East. Because the missing persons are all ordinary people and low-level superhumans, they have not been taken seriously and have been treated as the most ordinary missing persons cases."

"But just a few days ago, the Night's Watch discovered a mysterious demon girl outside the East Wall. She crossed the outer wall and fought with the Night's Watch."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "A mysterious demon-descended girl?"

Cang Feng said, "Yes, I heard she's not an ordinary demon. The Night Watchers' equipment for dealing with dark races was completely ineffective against her, so they suffered a great loss, and several Night Watchers were seriously injured."

“Demons…” Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and pondered.

Since the last time the Black Sun Demon Lord of the Demon Clan met the Darkborn Sword Demon, who possessed pure ancient demon blood, in Dark City, he has been behaving himself for almost half a year without making any moves.

Has it started again?

The Darkin Sword Demon's ability to intimidate the Black Sun Demon Lord was purely a feint; he relied on the suppression of his ancient bloodline to prevent the Black Sun Demon Lord from seeing through his true strength.

Ye Ge calculated that Black Sun Demon Lord would not dare to act rashly after seeing Darkborn Sword Demon, so he told Bao Bingqing to use this strategy. In fact, it was psychological warfare, to keep Black Sun Demon Lord from figuring out the true strength behind Dark City. In reality, if Black Sun had really made a move, it would have been easy for him to destroy Dark City. Darkborn Sword Demon and all the warriors in the city would have had no chance against a demon lord at the Soul Emperor level.

Although that incident scared Black Sun away, Night Song knew very well that the demon race would never give up the Azure Dragon Treasure easily, and they would definitely come back again!

"So you brought us back this time to ask us to help investigate this matter?" Gao Shenxue asked.

"Oh, of course not." Cang Feng shrugged. "What a joke. What are you guys worth now? How could the principal possibly let you lead a bunch of students on such a dangerous mission? Even if you were willing to go, the academy couldn't afford the mission fee for you."

"Don't worry, although that demon girl has some strength, this matter is not that serious. After all, she is just one person. The Night Watchmen are not to be trifled with. Besides, the academy has already sent many people to help. They should be able to handle this matter."

"As for you... your task today is to lead a group of inner disciples with excellent ratings or above in training and to conduct field combat. You are all senior students with considerable talent and rich combat experience, so you will definitely have a lot of experience to pass on to them."

Ye Ge nodded: "Understood."

Even so, just in case, Ye Ge still opened the system panel and sent a message to Li Shuying and Bai Qing.

Since we don't know the other party's background or purpose, it's best to be cautious.

[Night Song: The Night Watch has discovered a suspicious demon trespassing into human territory outside the eastern border. Take some men and go investigate.]

[Li Shuying: Yes.]

Bai Qing: Yes.

Then, Cang Feng led Ye Ge and the others to a classroom.

There were about thirty students in the classroom, both boys and girls, most of whom were teenagers.

The students' eyes lit up as soon as they saw Ye Ge and his friends, and the whole classroom erupted in noise.

"Wow...it really is Lord Yege!"

"The school actually managed to invite Lord Yege to be our instructor!"

"Lord Yege is so handsome... even more handsome than in the photos..."

"Sister Gao Shenxue! Can I get your autograph? You're my idol!"

"..."

Cang Feng pushed up his glasses: "It seems I don't need to give any further introductions." He glanced at Ye Ge and the others: "I'll leave it to you." Then he left the classroom.

Ye Ge looked at the group of overly enthusiastic students chattering away, raised his hand and scratched his ear. He had indeed never taught many students before.

"Let's take attendance first." Ye Ge picked up the attendance book.

"Tang Yanyan".

“Here!” A cheerful and lively girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old excitedly raised her hand.

"Zhang Kun."

"Here." A boy raised his hand.

"Gao Qian."

"Here," a girl who looked somewhat aloof replied.

"Jiang Xiaoming... um?"

Ye Ge paused slightly when she read the name.

In the corner, a familiar figure hesitantly raised his hand: "To..."

Xia Xiyao blinked: "Jiang Xiaoming? Is it really you?"

"..."

Jiang Xiaoming looked very embarrassed.

He was the oldest student in the classroom.

After eight years of hard work at the War Academy, he finally rose from the passing class to the excellent class, which is why he had the opportunity to attend the class taught by Night Song and his team as specially appointed instructors.

But seeing his former classmates, Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao, all of whom had become specially appointed instructors at the academy and pillars of the empire, while he was still a student, he felt somewhat embarrassed...
