Zuo Lin'an continued, “Under the guise of letting you rest for a few days, but in reality, it's to make you go home and self-reflect.”
“By the way, you haven't been caught hugging and cuddling with female classmates by a teacher, have you?”
Just as he finished speaking, a sudden, angry shout erupted from outside the classroom.
“What do you think you are doing?!”
The voice was booming, and it came entirely out of nowhere.
However, Zuo Lin'an had expected this all along, and he watched on with a look of pure amusement.
Logically speaking, as a Houtian Rank martial artist, Ming Ruofeng should have noticed someone approaching the classroom. But his attention had been entirely focused on Zuo Lin'an just now, causing him to ignore his surroundings.
Or perhaps it was simply because there were too many people, with so many students walking back and forth in the hallway after class that he hadn't paid any attention to one extra person.
But...
Xu Youyou glanced out the window, then whispered, “Oh boy, the principal is here.”
Zuo Lin'an also whispered, “Why would the principal come?”
Xu Youyou continued in a low voice, “It's because the grade director took two days off and won't be back until tomorrow morning. So, the principal has been occasionally patrolling the academic buildings these past couple of days.”
Zuo Lin'an realized, “Oh! I see.”
In truth, he already knew this.
The grade director of the teaching area, the head chef of the cafeteria, and one of the dorm aunties in the dormitory building required two days to recover after being repelled in the Scarlet Dream.
As a result, they would disappear from the school for two days, and they wouldn't appear in the Scarlet Dream last night or tonight either.
A trace of schadenfreude appeared on Zuo Lin'an's face.
“Brother Feng.”
“You really are out of luck.”
“To think you'd get caught by the principal of all people.”
“Since you had a decent attitude just now, I'll give you a friendly warning: make sure you convince the principal. Otherwise, you're going to get kicked out of school today.”
“Don't think you're so tough. The principal has a lot of security guards. Once they are deployed, it won't matter if you're an immortal from the heavens; you won't stand a chance.”
Security guards?
Ming Ruofeng was slightly puzzled. “I've never seen any security guards. Where are they?”
The players had practically swept the entire school grounds, yet they had never seen anything like a security guard.
Zuo Lin'an said, “You mean the security guards?”
“They only show up when they're needed. No one can find them normally.”
“But that doesn't matter right now. You'd better think of a way to convince the principal.”
For a player, being expelled from school by the principal meant being forcibly driven out of the dungeon's quest area by a dungeon native.
However, one of the players' four main quests, 【Survive for Six Days】, only remained active within the boundaries of the dungeon—and the dungeon's boundaries were this school.
If he were expelled, then he...
The principal marched into the classroom, fuming with rage.
Lin Taoyao, who had just been sitting on Ming Ruofeng's lap, scrambled to her feet. Even Lin Taozhi, who was standing to the side, panicked slightly.
However, they quickly calmed down and stood on either side of Ming Ruofeng, looking quiet and well-behaved.
Zuo Lin'an nodded inwardly at the sight.
It seemed that even if they were infatuated, it didn't mean they were stupid. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hide in advance during last night's Scarlet Dream, luckily escaping his assassination.
Ming Ruofeng stood up.
“Principal, we were just messing around.”
The anger on the principal's face didn't fade in the slightest.
“Messing around?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Do you think I'm blind?”
“Is this how you mess around? All three of you, come with me to the administrative building right now! You're so young, yet instead of studying hard, all you do is fool around.”
After scolding Ming Ruofeng, the principal turned his wrath on Lin Taoyao.
“And you! Sitting on a boy's lap in the middle of the classroom in front of all your classmates!”
“A young girl who doesn't know how to respect herself, only knowing how to fool around with male classmates. All of you, get over here!”
Watching the principal's retreating back, Ming Ruofeng pondered for a moment before following him. Seeing him leave, Lin Taoyao naturally followed. However, Lin Taozhi...
She didn't know if she should follow. After all, she had only been leaning against Ming Ruofeng just now, and her posture and actions hadn't been too out of line.
But as the principal reached the classroom door, he suddenly barked.
“What are you still doing in there? Keep up!”
Lin Taozhi sighed softly. It seemed she couldn't escape either.
The three followed the principal all the way downstairs.
Once Ming Ruofeng noticed there was no one around, he reached behind his back and made a gesture. The Lin sisters stopped, quickly putting some distance between themselves and the two in front.
At that moment, a round pill appeared out of thin air in Ming Ruofeng's hand.
Then, he called out softly.
“Principal.”
Back in the classroom.
Only after Ming Ruofeng and the others had left with the principal did Xu Youyou burst into laughter.
“They're in deep trouble! Caught red-handed by the principal. If this Brother Feng can't convince him, we won't be seeing him for the next few days.”
“After all, our school is the best high school in Lingyang City. Puppy love is strictly forbidden.”
Zuo Lin'an murmured in agreement.
To be honest, ever since those two women had approached Ming Ruofeng, everything that followed had made Zuo Lin'an feel a bit uncomfortable.
He really hadn't expected Ming Ruofeng to be so... so unrestrained.
As an ancient, shouldn't he be a bit more reserved?
Offering up women in front of so many people—did he have no sense of shame?
Zuo Lin'an looked toward Xuan Jingyuan.
“Student Xuan, you seem quite familiar with him. Has he always been like this? Publicly flirting with female classmates, and even offering women to underage students?”
Xuan Jingyuan paused slightly, lowering his head in thought for a moment.
“That is his true nature. He usually just hides it well, which is why many people think of him as a refined gentleman.”
The next moment, he asked instead.
“So, how old are you?”
Zuo Lin'an blinked. “Is that important?”
It wasn't important.
But getting close to women at their age was called... puppy love!
To tell the truth, this was the first time any of them had ever heard the term 'puppy love.'
However, this also indirectly proved that the world of this supernatural dungeon was incredibly peaceful—so peaceful that teenage children didn't need to support a household at such a young age.
Furthermore, the common people possessed enough wealth and resources to raise all their children until they were eighteen, or even older.
Xuan Jingyuan snapped out of his thoughts.
“So you are still so young.”
Zuo Lin'an was puzzled. “What are you sighing about? Aren't you the same? You're in the same class as me. Even if you're older, how much older could you possibly be?”
Only then did Xuan Jingyuan realize that when all the players entered this dungeon, their bodies had automatically reverted to their youth.
At this moment, he was roughly the same age as Zuo Lin'an.
