Chapter 225: I Am Very Rich

Ning Feiliu directly stated Ning Fengzhi's name, which instantly stunned Leng Hanxue, who had been quite calm until that moment.

Then she said in disbelief, "Your father is... the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi?"

Although Ning Fengzhi, like her, only possessed the cultivation of a peak Soul Saint.

But what was his status, and what was hers?

She was merely the Dean of Tianshui Academy.

While Ning Fengzhi was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

One was a super sect among the Upper Three Sects, while the other was just the dean of a top-tier academy.

The key was that as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were nominally his subordinates.

Whereas the Dean of Tianshui Academy only commanded a few teachers and directors at the Soul Saint level.

The rest were all students.

Regardless of how one looked at it, Ning Fengzhi was a big shot that Leng Hanxue absolutely had to look up to.

"Hmm..." Ning Feiliu smiled slightly, then took out a token.

This time, it was the one Ning Fengzhi had given him earlier.

And clearly, Leng Hanxue recognized this token as the Sect Master's decree of Ning Fengzhi.

"But even if you are the son of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, why do you want to join my Tianshui Academy to become a teacher?" Leng Hanxue asked, frowning.

"Teaching and learning from each other, perhaps. I feel that being a teacher at Tianshui Academy for a period of time can provide me with very good help," Ning Feiliu said. "Although I come from the direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as a Battle Soul Master, my martial soul... the sect cannot provide much help, so I have to rely on myself."

Leng Hanxue had also previously learned from Jiang Xi that Ning Feiliu's martial soul was not the direct-line martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but an unseen one, and he was also a sixteen-year-old Soul King.

So, hearing these words from Ning Feiliu, she understood to some extent.

It was just that these words from Ning Feiliu were actually just an excuse.

But Leng Hanxue was still somewhat hesitant.

After all, this was a decision that went against the unwritten rules of Tianshui Academy.

She naturally had to be more cautious.

However, facing Leng Hanxue's hesitation, Ning Feiliu smiled slightly again.

Then he took out a... Gold Soul Coin card from the Steel Sun Box and placed it in front of Leng Hanxue.

Ning Feiliu said with a smile, "To show my sincerity, Dean Leng, I can donate one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins in advance for the future construction of Tianshui Academy's basic teaching facilities."

On the spot, Leng Hanxue stared wide-eyed at the sky-high Gold Soul Coin card marked with one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins that Ning Feiliu had handed over...

At noon that day.

In a classroom at Tianshui Academy.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others happened to be in this classroom, preparing to attend class with other students.

As a top-tier academy that did not restrict the background of its students, although Tianshui Academy limited gender, there were still quite a lot of students.

There were over two hundred of them, yet they were divided into classes based on age, talent, and cultivation.

However, as long as the age gap was not more than five years, they could be assigned to the same class based on their current cultivation and talent.

This was, of course, to prepare for the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament held every five years.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were actually already booked to be the participating members of the Tianshui Team for the next Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

So they basically attended classes together all the time.

Just as they were preparing for the upcoming class.

But right at this moment...

"Everyone, be quiet." As one of their teachers, Jiang Xi suddenly walked in from outside the classroom.

However...

Behind her, there was also a young...

Man?

Shui Bing'er and the others naturally recognized Ning Feiliu immediately.

But the other students in the class did not know Ning Feiliu; it was just Ning Feiliu's outstanding appearance, his extraordinary temperament, and his excellent affinity.

All of these made them feel full of goodwill, and even heart-fluttering!

"So handsome... who exactly is he?"

"Why did a boy suddenly appear in our academy? Could it be a male student admitted as an exception?"

"How is that possible? Doesn't the academy not admit boys?"

"But this is also good... and such a good-looking boy, I really like him too much!"

"Finally, has our academy become enlightened!"

"Ah ah ah ah, he looked at me!"

"Great! I also want to have a passionate romance!"

Just as the other girls were heart-fluttering and whispering to each other.

Jiang Xi frowned, coughed, and said, "Quiet!"

She still had the dignity of a teacher; in an instant, the classroom was silent.

Then she reached out to introduce Ning Feiliu, who was beside her, to everyone, saying, "Ahem... this is our academy's new teacher—Teacher Ning. Next, he will be responsible for your actual combat and a brand-new theory course—Martial Soul, Soul Skill, and Combat Theory."

"Teacher Ning, please say hello to everyone."

Ning Feiliu smiled slightly, then walked forward and said to the students who were still stunned, "Hello everyone, I am your new teacher, Ning Feiliu. Please treat me well in the future."

After launching his money offensive, Ning Feiliu fulfilled his wish and became the only male teacher in Tianshui Academy.

However, naturally, the students were somewhat incredulous at the start, and even questioned it.

After all, he looked far too young, almost the same age as them.

Could he really be a teacher? But... after Ning Feiliu displayed his Soul King cultivation, the students' questioning voices immediately diminished.

And afterwards, as he fully demonstrated his strength and "teaching ability" during class, there were no more doubts at all.

In terms of practical combat, with the help of his "cheat" infusion, Ning Feiliu's Practical Experience was, of course, terrifying.

Especially with students of various different martial souls, he seemed omniscient, displaying a wealth of experience.

Jax, nicknamed Weapon Master, was naturally proficient in any weapon and knowledgeable in any fighting style.

As for Beast Spirit Spirit Masters, that was even simpler.

The fighting style of Beast Spirit Spirit Masters actually involves a lot of close-quarters combat, and when it comes to close-quarters experience, Sett would certainly have to be the one to speak.

For sword and blade-type martial souls, Ning Feiliu also had the experience and sword techniques of Fervent Sword and Master Yi, so that was even less of a problem.

For a time, students like Shui Bing'er who took his practical combat classes saw their Practical Experience and combat techniques improve by leaps and bounds, their strength becoming far superior to other students of the same level in the academy. This made students from other classes constantly clamor that they also wanted to take Ning Feiliu's courses.

After all, Ning Feiliu was both handsome and young, and he truly possessed genuine talent and learning.

Who wouldn't want to take a class from a teacher who was both easy on the eyes and could teach them things? To use an analogy, it would be like a male university student seeing a beautiful, young female lecturer in his course selection; he would absolutely hope to take the class she taught.

It was just that Tianshui Academy was helpless; mainly, if Ning Feiliu didn't want to teach, even Leng Hanxue couldn't force him to teach more classes.

After all, Ning Feiliu was a paid worker, unlike other teachers who needed a salary.

And besides practical combat classes, Ning Feiliu was also responsible for a brand-new course.

That was the course on martial souls, soul skills, and combat theory.

"... The use of martial souls in combat can be described as diverse." Ning Feiliu said, lecturing on the blackboard about the theories he had learned from games in his past life, "As everyone knows, ice-type martial souls have a certain restraining ability over fire-type martial souls."

"But I want to say that besides the fact that a gap in power might make this uncertain, there is also the fact that if fire evaporates ice, violently turning it into scalding steam, then it can be transformed into steam to harm the enemy..."

"However, some restraint relationships are destined to be difficult to reverse; for example, for a wood-attribute Tool Spirit, is there really a way to face a fire-type martial soul? No, that is a massive chasm."

"Then at this time, one must use soul ring attributes and soul skills to compensate. What kind of soul skills can a wood-type martial soul have to compensate for this restraint relationship when facing a fire-type martial soul?"

"My answer is, that would be long-range strangulation soul skills; although they will still be ignited by the flames, they can turn the flames into their own means of attack..."

It really must be said, during this time of teaching at Tianshui Academy, Ning Feiliu summarized many things.

And while teaching these things to the students, he himself also gained quite a lot.

Many things were things he had not noticed before, things he had overlooked; now, because of teaching, he summarized them, which actually allowed him to learn a lot.

The students had also never heard such novel theories, and with the addition of Ning Feiliu's charm, they listened in the classroom as if intoxicated.

Just like that, until the end of class; Ning Feiliu also detested dragging out class time in his past life.

Naturally, he would not drag out the class.

So he smiled directly at the students who were still obsessed with the theories and said, "Alright, this class ends here; everyone, feel free to do as you please after class."

Then, amidst the reluctant wails of the students, he packed up his things, put them back into the Steel Sun Box, and turned to prepare to leave.

Ning Feiliu had already stayed at Tianshui Academy for a month, and he believed he would be able to check in successfully very soon.

And after checking in successfully at Tianshui City, he would naturally have to leave here and head to the next town in the Northern Territory of the Douluo Dalu.

But just at this moment.

"Teacher Ning..."

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Ning Feiliu immediately turned around and saw Shui Bing'er.

During this time, Shui Bing'er and the others still remained very close to Ning Feiliu.

But they had all gotten used to Ning Feiliu's status as a teacher and had directly changed how they addressed him.

Ning Feiliu didn't say anything about this; after all, he was indeed the teacher of Shui Bing'er and the others.

There was no problem with this form of address.

"What's wrong? Bing'er?" Ning Feiliu asked curiously.

Shui Bing'er pursed her lips, and then said to Ning Feiliu, "It's like this, Teacher Ning, I would like to ask for a day off tomorrow."

"Hmm, no problem, I'll just tell Director Yu when the time comes," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

He didn't even ask Shui Bing'er for the reason.

However, Shui Bing'er said it herself; she looked at Ning Feiliu, her beautiful eyes somewhat sorrowful, and said, "Actually, tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary."

"Your mother's death anniversary?" Ning Feiliu sighed immediately, appearing slightly sad, and said, "Then please accept my condolences. So, Yue'er is also asking for leave together with you tomorrow, right?"

What he did not know was that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were half-sisters, and their mothers were not the same person.

It was just that Shui Bing'er's stepmother was also quite good to her; she was not the type of wicked stepmother.

Therefore, the relationship between Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er was also quite good, just like biological sisters.

"No, actually Yue'er and I are half-sisters; her mother is my stepmother, and she is still alive and well now," Shui Yue'er also hurriedly explained, "After my mother passed away, Dad met Yue'er's mother, and only later did they have Yue'er."

"So that's how it is..." Ning Feiliu said in a gentle tone, "Alright then, I will tell the director in person before I leave later."

Just at this moment, Shui Bing'er said to him again, her tone full of hope, "Teacher Ning, can I chat with you for a while later?"

Ning Feiliu thought for a moment, then looked at Shui Bing'er's currently sorrowful pretty face; he sighed immediately and said, "Alright then, let's go together and chat outside."

"Mm, thank you, Teacher," Shui Bing'er immediately replied softly.

Then she followed Ning Feiliu, though Ning Feiliu took her to first tell that Director Yu of the academy about the leave.

Only then did they walk out of Tianshui Academy and arrive at a restaurant.

However, Ning Feiliu first glanced unobtrusively at a certain spot behind him, as if he had discovered something.

But he did not say anything.

Instead, he sat down at the restaurant with Shui Bing'er.

"Let's order first; let's eat something, then we can chat slowly," Ning Feiliu said casually.

However, Shui Bing'er was clearly in low spirits and had no appetite to eat, so she did not order anything.

Ning Feiliu simply ordered some for himself; having spent some time with Shui Bing'er and the others, he actually understood their preferences and habits to some extent.

He ordered some things that Shui Bing'er usually loved to drink and eat.

After all, they were teenage girls; in fact, the friends in their twenties and thirties he knew in his past life all liked to eat and drink.

Eating, drinking, and relieving oneself—even the sages of this world cannot avoid these things.

"Actually... my mother passed away when I was very young," Shui Bing'er said then.

"I can tell," Ning Feiliu said casually.

After all, based on his understanding, Shui Bing'er was only two years older than Shui Yue'er.

And since Shui Bing'er said her father remarried after her mother died, rather than cheating outright, then Shui Bing'er's mother definitely could not have died very late.

Basically, Shui Bing'er's mother passed away when Shui Bing'er was two years old.

For Ning Feiliu in his past life, losing a mother at two years old, many children probably wouldn't have any feelings about it at all.

After all, the child is too young; what could they possibly know? Even children who lose their parents at five or six might not feel anything, let alone Shui Bing'er, who was two.

However, the situation on the Douluo Continent is quite different.

The children here are all damnably precocious.

Like Tang San, who at two or three years old was already cooking for Tang the Blacksmith, who was so grief-stricken over the loss of his beloved wife that he couldn't take care of himself, though he was a transmigrator.

Yet, the other people in the village didn't think there was any problem with a two or three-year-old child being able to cook...

One can only say that the children on the Douluo Continent are truly very precocious.

At the very least, having a clear self-awareness and memory at two years old is not a problem at all.

So, Shui Bing'er remembered her mother's passing when she was two years old.
