Chapter 6 What Did You Do to Our Young Lady?

She had done everything she needed to do; Zhao Ya wanted to make this man look foolish!

With a flicker of thought, a recording crystal appeared in her sleeve.

A recording crystal could capture surrounding images and sounds; she planned to keep evidence of his “crime”! Then, when she went out to spread the word, he would have no way to deny it.

“Then we’ll see how you make a fool of yourself! Comparing yourself to Teacher Lu Xun? Dream on!”

Thinking that the recording crystal would soon capture his “evidence” and that she could teach him a good lesson to vent her anger, Zhao Ya’s eyes sparkled, and she almost couldn’t help laughing. Holding back her glee, she was about to hear what nonsense he would spout when she saw a pair of bright eyes, like lanterns, stopping right in front of her.

“Ah…”

Startled, Zhao Ya quickly stepped back. Only then did she see clearly that it was Teacher Zhang Xuan. She gritted her teeth in anger: “What do you want?”

“Don’t worry, I’m just looking!” Zhang Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, circled around Zhao Ya, shook his head, then suddenly stopped in front of her, less than a foot away.

Feeling the heat radiating from him, Zhao Ya’s face flushed. Never in her life had a man been so close to her. Her heart racing and unsure what to do, she heard his slow voice: “You’re sick!”

Hearing this, Zhao Ya nearly exploded and fainted on the spot: “You’re the one who’s sick! Your whole family is sick…”

She was going crazy.

Was this guy out of his mind? She had performed a martial technique and asked him to point out flaws, but he directly said she was sick. How could there be such a detestable person in the world!

“Why are you cursing?” Zhang Xuan frowned, then realized his words were ambiguous. He smiled slightly: “I meant your body is ill, not cursing you!”

“I’m not sick!” Zhao Ya snorted. “I think you’re the one who’s sick! Sick in the head!”

She was as strong as an ox, able to punch with over a hundred kilograms of force. Whether she was sick or not, she knew very well.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse. Do you often feel a dull ache at your Shanzhong and Juque acupoints, especially on nights of the full moon, when a damp wind rises, your whole body turns red, you feel restless and irritable, and you also have a kind of…” Zhang Xuan hesitated here, as if unable to find the words, then finally said: “No matter how you cultivate, you can’t calm your mind?”

“How… do you know?”

Originally furious, Zhao Ya had planned to deny whatever he said. But upon hearing this, her face reddened and she froze.

It wasn’t that he was wrong—it was that he was… too right!

Lately, during cultivation, she felt a dull pain at her Shanzhong and Juque acupoints every day. Of course, the pain wasn’t severe; she could endure it. But the key issue was… every full moon night, when a cool breeze blew, her body would feel strange, giving rise to an intense longing. Her whole body would flush red, and she couldn’t control herself, wishing she could hold a man…

She was just a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, inexperienced in such matters. She didn’t know what it was, only felt deeply ashamed. She thought she could endure it, but it grew worse over time. As her body developed and her chest became fuller, the condition seemed to intensify.

Before, two cycles of meditation could get her through it, but now even eight or ten cycles were useless. She had to keep cultivating until dawn.

Because this matter was so strange, she hadn’t dared tell anyone—not even her closest friends or her father, the city lord!

No one knew… how did this guy know?

It was precisely because she could no longer bear it that she came to the academy to study, hoping to find the root cause and solve it once and for all.

“I’m a teacher. I could tell from the set of punches you just performed!” Zhang Xuan said calmly.

Of course, one couldn’t see these things from a boxing technique alone. But the Library of Heaven’s Path was different; as long as she had a flaw, even if it wasn’t related to a cultivation method, it could be recorded.

It was because he had seen her problem that Zhang Xuan’s expression turned strange.

“Is there… a solution?”

Zhao Ya’s face reddened as she gritted her teeth and asked.

A moment ago, she had been aggressively trying to expose him, but now that he had accurately pointed out her problem, she felt embarrassed instead.

“There is a solution. Come to class tomorrow, and I’ll explain it to you!”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

“Really?”

Zhao Ya’s eyes lit up in disbelief.

She knew her body very well. It was precisely because she could barely control it that she had become irritable and anxious in everything. She had thought this problem would have to be buried in her heart, with no solution. She never dreamed that this teacher, ranked last in the entire faculty, would see through it with a single word!

And… he even had a way to treat it!

“If you don’t believe me, you can consult other teachers at the academy!” Zhang Xuan flicked his sleeve, his expression calm, like a master.

“No, no… I’ll stick with you, Teacher!” Zhao Ya quickly nodded.

She had been suffering for days on end. Countless doctors in the city had failed to see anything, and even her father, City Lord Zhao, hadn’t noticed anything unusual. But Teacher Zhang Xuan had confirmed it with just one glance. His insight alone was unmatched by anyone she had met before!

For that reason, she believed he surely had a way to cure her.

“Are you still planning to keep that recording crystal?”

Zhang Xuan pointed a finger.

"Ah..."

Zhao Ya was startled, only then remembering that she had deliberately left a recording crystal to catch the other party in the act. If the content of the conversation were really to be spread, how could she face others?

"No, no..."

With a forceful palm, "Crack!" The recording crystal shattered into powder.

Crushing the crystal, Zhao Ya looked again at the Zhang teacher before her. He no longer wore a detestable expression but was unfathomable.

She had hidden the recording crystal very well, yet it was still discovered. He could also tell that something was wrong with her body. How could someone so capable have scored zero in the teacher qualification assessment?

"He must be indifferent to fame and fortune, not caring about others' opinions! I've heard that experts are all like this..."

A thought emerged, and in her mind, Zhang Xuan instantly elevated from a swindler to the ranks of a peerless expert.

"Take your identity card, get your bedding and books, and find your dormitory. Be on time for class tomorrow..."

Seeing another student take the bait, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, about to make arrangements, when he heard a roar from outside and a figure rushed over like lightning.

Whoosh!

The newcomer was a middle-aged man who exuded a fierce aura as soon as he entered, inspiring awe, clearly not weak in strength.

"Miss!"

Entering the room, he stopped and bowed to Zhao Ya.

"Uncle Yao, why are you here?"

Zhao Ya was startled.

It was none other than Yao Han, the head steward of White Cloud City, whom her two friends had gone to invite.

He had escorted Zhao Ya to the academy and was planning to return, but before he could leave, he saw her two friends rushing over, saying that the young lady wanted to take as her teacher the one who scored zero in the teacher qualification assessment, and that guy even made the young lady scrub toilets...

Hearing this, Steward Yao almost exploded on the spot.

The young lady, the city lord's precious daughter! At home, no one dared to order her around. To make her clean and scrub toilets... how audacious!

If this guy were one of the academy's renowned teachers with rules, that would be one thing, but the key was... this guy ranked last in the teacher assessment and had even caused someone to go berserk from his teaching...

How could the young lady learn from such a person?

Even if she stayed in the city and he casually guided her, it would certainly be far better than this man!

"Miss, you haven't..." Glaring coldly at Zhang Xuan, Yao Han hurriedly asked the young lady before him.

"I have already taken Teacher Zhang as my master!" Zhao Ya said.

Thinking he had arrived quickly enough, but it was still too late. Yao Han's face darkened, and he pulled Zhao Ya behind him, glaring coldly at Zhang Xuan not far away: "Quickly cancel our young lady's class! Then apologize, or else I will make a big scene today and let everyone know that you, a proper teacher, seduced an underage girl into joining your class!"

"Seduced an underage girl? That's a bit strong!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Hearing this, others might think he had done something to Zhao Ya. Heaven knows, he had merely accepted a student, perfectly innocent...

"Don't try to fool me. Our young lady is a proud daughter of heaven, not someone a teacher like you is qualified to teach. Quickly cancel the class, and I won't pursue it. Otherwise, I will take this to the dean and have you expelled..."

Yao Han roared, but before he could finish, Zhao Ya interrupted from behind.

"Uncle Yao! What are you doing? I willingly took Teacher Zhang as my master. Why are you causing trouble?"

Zhao Ya stomped her foot.

She had come to the academy to resolve her physical ailment. This teacher said he could help, and she was just feeling happy when this guy came to interrupt. What was he doing?

"Willingly?" Yao Han looked at the young lady: "Can he really guide your cultivation and make your power surge rapidly?"

He knew the young lady was proud and aloof. Could this so-called waste of a teacher truly guide her, thus winning her over?

"Make my power surge? Not at all..." Zhao Ya shook her head.

The other party had pinpointed her condition but had not guided her cultivation.

"No? Then..." Yao Han was puzzled.

"Alright, Uncle Yao, don't ask anymore!" Thinking of her condition, Zhao Ya's pretty face flushed.

Seeing the young lady like this, Yao Han was first stunned, then noticed the shattered recording crystal on the ground. His face instantly turned icy, and he seemed to transform into a raging lion.

"You brat, what exactly did you do to our young lady? Do you believe I'll kill you right now..."

Boom!

Amid the roar of rage, a powerful aura quickly surged, waves of air rolled violently, and the ground creaked as if unable to bear the weight.
