The girl named Leila seemed very shy, her head drooping, her eyes looking at the floor, appearing timid and hesitant, and she didn't even dare to make much eye contact with Ye Xiao.

It's not hard to see that this guy was forcibly dragged here by Femishire.

"Oh dear, we're all faculty members at the academy. Layla, just ask us anything you'd like to ask!"

Femi patted Lyra on the shoulder.

Ok……

Ye Xiao curled his lips. He didn't really want to get involved in this matter, but he knew that this Femishire was a troublemaker. If he refused now, he might be entangled with this guy later.

Weighing the pros and cons, it's better to just politely give the girl a few perfunctory words and get it over with quickly.

"alright."

Ye Xiao nodded gently, "Then let's talk in the hall."

"It's too noisy in the lobby,"

Femi Hill pouted, noticing Ye Xiao's perfunctory attitude. "When it comes to imparting knowledge, you should at least find a quiet room, Professor."

This guy……

Ye Xiao was speechless, so he led the two to a nearby lounge.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, a meaningful smile appeared on Femishire's face. He said in a low voice, "Then I won't disturb you any longer," and then waved and left the room.

What nonsense is this?

Before Ye Xiao could figure out what was going on, Femishire had already closed the door from the outside.

A man and a woman were alone in a room. Ye Xiao noticed that the girl, Leila's, face seemed to be getting even more flushed, like an almost ripe apple.

"Professor..."

She spoke hesitantly, her voice barely audible.

"Well, so what kind of magic do you want to ask me about?"

Ye Xiaoping asked calmly.

"Last...last night, Professor, the way you fought three against one was really...really quite impressive..."

Leila's feet unconsciously moved forward, her body closer to Ye Xiao. Her soft voice became increasingly stuttering, and the content seemed to start to be somewhat incomprehensible.

"Oh, thanks."

Ye Xiao curled the corners of his mouth in a polite gesture, but for some reason, he felt that the atmosphere of the conversation was a bit off.

"Then...and then..."

The girl seemed to have mustered her courage, finally looking up and meeting Ye Xiao's gaze. "...I want to say...I...I think I've fallen for you..."

"Oh……"

Ye Xiao nodded, then suddenly frowned, "...Huh???"

What the hell? Did I wander onto the wrong set?

Ye Xiao almost lost his composure. He thought he was in a fantasy world, so what kind of inexplicable development was this?

"Hug...sorry!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression change slightly, the girl immediately lowered her head and apologized, "I know... saying this in my position might cause you trouble... but... I still can't help but tell you..."

"Actually, when we first met in Class One... I... I noticed you..."

Leila was so nervous she seemed to be talking to herself, her face flushed red, and she was quietly taking steps closer to Ye Xiao.

"...You, your languid gaze...and that aura...it really stirred my heart...I, from childhood to adulthood...this is the first time I've ever felt this kind of love at first sight..."

"Wow, is that even possible?"

Ye Xiao smiled.

It's rare to find someone who can appreciate his melancholy temperament. He used to think that he was too highbrow and had no one to appreciate him, but it turns out that it was just that Bo Ya hadn't met his Zhong Ziqi.

“I heard them say…you…you are a master with unique insights into the field of magic…I…I especially admire people like that…because my grandfather also said…people like that are one in a million…”

As she spoke, the girl's body almost pressed against Ye Xiao's chest.

"Your grandfather?"

"Um...my grandfather is the headmaster of the academy..."

Leila blushed.

"Oh, it's that Mountain Sword Saint, I've long admired his name."

Ye Xiao nodded.

"That's really strange. Your grandfather is so powerful, how come his granddaughter became a member of the secret cult?"

The air suddenly became still, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The girl's blushing face froze for a moment, then she immediately reacted, and her right hand, which was pressed against Ye Xiao's body, suddenly shot out a cold glint.

But of course, this couldn't be successful.

With a speed so fast it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, Ye Xiao effortlessly grabbed the girl's wrist.

With a soft "thud," a strangely shaped snake-like dagger fell to the floor between the girl's outstretched fingers, which she had opened in pain.

Chapter 51 Private Tutoring

"Sigh, it seems that my temperament is ultimately only appreciated by myself."

Ye Xiao sighed, seemingly in self-deprecation.

He's not some clueless teenager. You might be able to fool a kid with this kind of random confession, but to think you can fool him is really wishful thinking.

A girl experiencing her first love will unconsciously keep a distance from her crush when confessing her feelings, but this guy is practically glued to her while talking, which is very abnormal.

"You...why weren't you affected by the mind magic?!"

Leila's slender arm was held tightly by Ye Xiao's merciless iron hand, and even with all her might, she couldn't pry it open with her other hand.

This caused her feigned blush to turn genuinely red with pain. "Let go, you damned outsider!! Your savage strength… you're no mage at all!!!"

"Don't say that. Can't a mage exercise?"

Ye Xiao showed no mercy, twisting her upper body and slamming it onto the table next to him. "I suggest you tell me honestly what you're doing here, or I'll have to teach you a lesson on what it means to respect your teacher."

"Help! Help! This beastly professor assaulted me!!!"

However, seeing that things were not going well, the guy immediately opened his throat and shouted.

It has to be said, this move was indeed very insidious. The hall was right outside the door. If any students or soldiers heard the cries for help and came in to see this scene, Ye Xiao would be in deep trouble, no matter what.

No one would choose to believe Ye Xiao, the daughter of a professor from out of town and the dean of a college, even though Ye Xiao had saved their lives last night.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao had already been wary.

A circle of azure blue magic circle on the floor of the room glowed faintly as the girl screamed loudly.

Laila's eyes widened in disbelief. "A soundproof array?! When was it set up?!"

"Let me tell you a little secret: I'm best at setting up these kinds of insidious things quietly."

Ye Xiao's smile grew even wider. His gloomy face only smiled brightly at times like this. "His proficiency in the soundproofing array is already at the Grandmaster level."

"Hell!!"

Lyra racked her brains but couldn't understand why an elemental magic professor would specifically train someone in a bizarre spell like a silent soundproofing array.

"At this point, such an attack can no longer be considered a simple prank. Come, tell your teacher, what kind of conspiracy is brewing in your not-so-bright little brain?"

"let me go!!!"

Leila tried to twist and struggle, but Ye Xiao's seemingly thin arms were stronger than steel pipes. He pressed down on her back and flattened her on the table like a plunger, making her unable to move.

"You won't talk about it, huh? Then I'll use your body to test the effectiveness of your dagger."

Ye Xiao spread his five fingers on his right hand and activated a force field spell, directly pulling the snake-shaped dagger that had fallen to the ground into his hand from a distance.

"You damned outsider! How dare you!!! My grandfather will definitely kill you!!!"

Leila no longer cared about her image, cursing and swearing. Her angry and murderous eyes were a complete contrast to the shy and demure girl she had been before.

"Oh my god, that's terrifying."

"If you're scared, then let me go right now!"

“It’s not appropriate for a lady to say such frightening things. It seems I really need to teach you a lesson.”

Ye Xiao hummed a little tune, held the girl down with his left hand, and with his right hand, he plunged the dagger into Laila's waist with a swift motion, as if he were carving a fish off a chopping board.

Leila was stunned at first, then her pupils contracted sharply. The sharp pain in her waist was so real that she let out a painful groan.

"Well!!!"

This guy...didn't he even hesitate for a second?! ? ?

Lyra thought that this sickly professor would at least exchange a few words with her, considering her grandfather was a sword saint.

But the other party just stabbed him in like that!?

And he stabbed her in a vital spot that could be fatal! Is this guy insane? Does he really want to kill her?!?

"Stop!!! Do you even know what you're doing...?"

The cold touch of the blade made the girl feel as if her body temperature was being drained away, and the pain gradually spread throughout her body.

Having been pampered all her life, she never imagined that one day she would suddenly and unexpectedly come into close contact with death. A strong sense of fear and despair suddenly surged into her heart.

"Hey, how are you feeling now?"

Ye Xiao asked with concern.

"Well……"

Lyra wanted to express her anger, but the pain of facing death quickly broke her will, and the words that came out of her mouth were pleas for mercy, "No...don't..."

"Damn, it's all over now. I thought that people who dare to kill should at least be prepared to be killed themselves."

Ye Xiao loosened his grip on the other person's wrist. The puncture wound in the other person's waist had left him without the strength to move, so there was no need to hold on any longer.

He pulled out the dagger, and as some blood gushed out, he saw that in the shocking wound, some black lines were gradually spreading, like dense threads growing in the flesh.

"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal."

While observing the wound, Ye Xiao described it to the wailing girl so that she could understand the changes happening to her body.

"What are these spreading black threads? They seem to be growing into your waist."

"Do not……"

Leila grew increasingly terrified upon hearing these words, and her head began to feel dizzy from blood loss.

Tears welled up in her bright eyes, and tears of despair streamed down her cheeks onto the table.

"Don't cry. Since you're going to die anyway, why not try to die gracefully?"

"No...please...I don't want to die..."

"Oh, so you've admitted you're wrong?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

But whether she was too weak or her mind was clouded, the girl's mouth only opened and closed slightly, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Hey, you're speaking too softly, the teacher can't hear you."

Ye Xiao then stabbed the girl in the back again, hoping it would help her cheer up.

"Ah! I was wrong! I was wrong!!!"

This cut seemed to bring him a final burst of energy, and his voice, hoarse and trembling with tears, rang out.

"Waaaaah... I was wrong..."

"No way, it's too late to realize your mistake now."

As Ye Xiao spoke, he used his dagger to cut open the clothes and examined the direction of the black threads on the flesh. "Why don't you go and talk to the goddess? I'll pray for you and do my duty to send you to heaven."

"Waaaaah...no...no..."
