Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Mr. Li's strength is nothing compared to all the teachers in the academy; he's only at the early stage of the Mountain Moving Realm, and in terms of strength, he can't even be considered one of the top teachers.

Teachers of Mr. Li's caliber are naturally meant to teach beginners like Lu Yunshi; it would be a waste to use someone of higher caliber.

Even so, Lu Yunshi always felt that Mr. Li was a good teacher. At least among the many teachers who taught elementary students, although his strength was not strong, his teaching ability and professional ethics were worthy of recognition.

For example, the term "elementary student," which is clearly unfriendly to students in the footsteps of the mountain, was used for the first time by the other party, if I remember correctly.

As far as Lu Yunshi knew, the other teachers often mentioned it.

Perhaps the other party was troubled by something, so they grabbed Lu Yunshi, such an unlucky guy, to vent their frustration.

But after Lu Yunshi's sob story, the other party's rationality quickly took over, and he said something to defuse the unfriendly atmosphere, while also inspiring many students.

Lu Yunshi propped his head up with one hand, tapped his four fingers lightly on the table a few times, then took out today's lesson, "On the Strong," opened it, listened attentively for a while, then quietly leaned to the side and whispered to the man next to him who was wearing the same clothes.

"Doggy, what's wrong with Mr. Li today?"

The man called Gouzi glanced at Lu Yunshi, observed Mr. Li and seeing that the other party was not paying attention to them, then spoke softly.

"I do know a little about this, but...why don't you try to guess first? I think even you probably don't know."

"Ah!"

Dog's suspenseful behavior was exactly what Lu Yunshi expected. He could have asked others, since although Lu Yunshi was late every day, he had a good relationship with most of the students in the class. If others knew, they would naturally tell them.

The problem is, others may not know.

Although Mr. Li taught elementary students, he still lived on the mountain. Elementary students, who only had three hours a day, had no opportunity to know about things that happened on the mountain.

But Gouzi is different. Although he looks like Wangcai, he is the gossip of the students down the mountain. He knows a lot about things on the mountain, and even some secrets that are unknown to the people on the mountain.

Overall, he is a very capable person.

Even among all of Lu Yunshi's elementary school students, Lu Yunshi had never seen anyone who knew more about things on the mountain than Gouzi.

"Guess, guess, guess my foot." Despite his cursing, Lu Yunshi still followed the other party's rules and guessed twice casually.

"Could it really be because his hair loss has worsened again?"

"Hmm..." Dog raised an eyebrow. "It's definitely gotten worse. It's quite pitiful, considering they're powerful mountain movers, yet they still can't stop the hair loss."

"Don't even mention moving mountains, I heard the academy has a Mediterranean-looking person from the Gathering Sea Realm. It's ridiculous, isn't it? A spiritual medicine to treat mere hair loss is actually quite expensive, and the effect is just so-so." Lu Yunshi complained with deep sympathy, his hand unconsciously touching his full head of black hair. More than whether he could become a strong person in the future, he was worried about whether he would be bald in the future.

Suddenly, Lu Yunshi paused. "Hey! Wait, you haven't told me the answer yet."

"Oh, you got that wrong. Shall we try again?" Dog shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

Lu Yunshi resisted the urge to turn the dog into a dog and guessed again according to the other party's rules.

"If it's not because of hair loss, then it can't be because of a breakup, right?"

He swore he was just saying it offhand, but the dog's expression changed instantly.

"Brother, you're really amazing! How could you guess that? You're truly worthy of the title."

"Huh? I guessed right?" Seeing the dog give him a thumbs up, Lu Yunshi's eyes widened in shock. Was he really heartbroken?

The dog blinked, moved a little closer to Lu Yunshi, and then whispered.

"It's not quite right to call it a breakup, since it's always been a crush. I finally mustered up the courage to confess, but as expected, I was rejected."

"A crush? Who is it? When did you confess, and how did you confess? Tell me in detail." Lu Yunshi's eyes lit up.

No one can resist gossip, regardless of the world.

Moreover, one might even gain some inspiration from the words of a cultured person like Mr. Li, so that tomorrow's letter could be copied.

"Hmph!" The dog hummed proudly twice, and then finally spoke slowly under Lu Yunshi's expectant expression.

"This person prefers white clothes, wields an ice sword, and is ranked seventh on the academy's fairy list."

"Shangguan Yue!? Mr. Li has a crush on her?" Lu Yunshi gasped, completely unexpected that it was this person.

But Lu Yunshi quickly calmed down, a hint of pity in his eyes. "If it were her, it wouldn't be surprising to have a crush, but she would surely have been cruelly rejected."

As he spoke, Lu Yunshi felt something was amiss. "But that doesn't make sense either. If it was just a rejection, Mr. Li shouldn't be so angry."

Judging from Mr. Li's past performance, he is a person with self-control.

This confession, rather than truly wanting to be with Shangguan Yue, was more like an act of mustering the courage to fulfill a wish and give an answer to one's unrequited love, even knowing the outcome.

"Of course not. There are countless people in this academy who secretly admire Shangguan Fairy, so being rejected is to be expected. But the problem is that the entire process of Mr. Li being rejected was recorded by the crab next door and shown to everyone in public. So now Mr. Li is..."

"The society is dead!"

Seeing that Gouzi couldn't think of a word for a long time, Lu Yunshi thoughtfully dug out a word from his fragmented memories to fill in the gaps for him.

Society is dead!

A new way of dying besides physiological death.

Some people are dead but still alive, while others are alive but already dead.

Now Mr. Li is facing the double blow of a failed confession and social humiliation. Even if he was mentally prepared for the failure, his preparation is nothing compared to the social humiliation.

No wonder...

Lu Yunshi sighed. No wonder the other party had suddenly brought up his 'unrealistic fantasies' earlier.

Did his behavior as a sycophant remind Mr. Li of himself?

He was also ridiculed for liking it.

"Crabs are really a terrible thing," Lu Yunshi remarked.

"He's been a piece of trash for a long time. Of all the teachers who teach elementary students, he's the only one who can't be called human," Gouzi said dismissively.

Crab is the teacher of another class. His real name is Pang Xie, a late-stage cultivator of the Mountain Moving Realm. Among the many teachers of the elementary students, his strength is considered to be among the best.

However, he was arrogant and looked down on the mediocre students.

I felt that with my abilities, I should be teaching middle or even high school students on the mountain, instead of wasting my time here.

Therefore, the crab often beats and scolds his students in the name of teaching. Some students even become useless because of his behavior, and their hard-earned physical strength is lost in an instant.

But no one was willing to get involved in this kind of thing. Only Mr. Li said a few words when he saw it, saying that the other party lacked professional ethics and was not worthy of being a teacher.

After that, the crab harbored resentment towards Mr. Li and kept trying to provoke him.

However, Mr. Li, being good-tempered, also considered the other party's strength and thus kept quiet.

Mr. Li must have done this on purpose to lose face.

"I remember... during the combat class, Crab's class wasn't far from ours, was it?" Lu Yunshi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly spoke up.

“Although the location of the combat training class changes frequently, the changes are never significant, and the locations are usually not far apart. This time should be about the same.” Gouzi nodded, then looked at Lu Yun, seemingly intrigued.

"What? You want to stand up for Mr. Li?"

"Not really, but I'm bored. Since he's walked right into my line of fire, I might as well watch something interesting." Lu Yunshi said, yawning before slumping onto his desk.

Seeing Lu Yun's nonchalant attitude, Gouzi shrugged as well.

Compared to others, he understood Lu Yunshi better. You might think this guy acts like a stinky salted fish every day, but if you really think he's a salted fish, he'll be tearing flesh off you right away.

The dog is now more interested in what interesting things might happen later.

As all the images in the dream quickly faded away, Lu Yunshi woke up with a yawn.

"I really admire you; you always manage to wake up at the exact moment you're about to fall asleep."

As the dog looked at Lu Yun with admiration, a series of mysterious sounds rang out in the classroom, signifying that their academic classes for the day had come to an end.

However, this mysterious sound also has a calming effect, allowing everyone to seamlessly transition into the upcoming martial arts class in a better state.

"What I'm about to say isn't some cultivation experience; in fact, it's completely unrelated to cultivation. I know most of you won't listen, but I still have to say it: if you can remember these things and think about them carefully, they will definitely benefit you."

Mr. Li said a few words to his students, but seeing the indifferent expressions on most of their faces, he sighed inwardly and shut his mouth, saying no more.

He knew that these classes, which had little to do with cultivation, were unlikely to be popular with elementary students who only wanted to quickly become stronger and become average students.

"Let's go, it's time to teach some new combat techniques in today's martial arts class."

Upon hearing the last sentence, all the students were taken aback; this was what they had been waiting for.

More than fifty people walked out of the classroom in a grand procession. After a while, they stopped. In front of them was a stone tablet. Lu Yunshi looked up and could vaguely see countless small black dots floating above the clouds.

Although they look like small black dots, they are actually fighting platforms. These fighting platforms, which are suspended in mid-air, are where they take their martial arts lessons.

Then they all took out jade pendants that represented their student status. As the jade pendants and the stone tablet emitted white light at the same time, the teacher and students disappeared from the spot.
