Chapter 321: The New Teacher at Private Saikai Academy

"Yuejiang, what is this?" Lingyun looked at the teacher's certificate and the Attack Mage appointment letter in his hands, his brows slightly raised.

"I've told you not to add 'jiang' to the end of my name!" The folding fan in Nangong Nayue's hand struck Lingyun's forehead once again.

Lingyun's figure blurred for a moment, and then he actually appeared on another sofa.

"Who told you to be so cute, Yuejiang?" Lingyun said with a grin.

"You—forget it, I won't bicker with you about this for now." Nangong Nayue retracted the fan in her hand.

"I don't keep people who eat for free. Letting you stay here is already my greatest concession. I am not responsible for your living expenses!" Nangong Nayue said. "Also, Itogami Island is currently lacking top-tier combat power for its Attack Mages, so I took the liberty of having you fill the spot. I assume you won't refuse, right?"

Looking at Nangong Nayue's expression, Lingyun shrugged helplessly: "Fine, since I am currently living under someone else's roof, I will reluctantly accept these two jobs for now."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's head out now. It's also a good time to introduce you to the students in my class." Nangong Nayue opened a Space Jump Magic Array.

In the classroom of Class 1-B, High School Division, Private Saikai Academy.

"Hey, Gucheng, did you know? It's said that a new Chinese teacher is coming to our class!" A boy wearing headphones said to Xiao Gucheng, who was slumped over his desk.

"A new Chinese teacher? No way. I heard that our super annoying Chinese teacher just got transferred away. I hadn't even had a chance to be happy about it, and now a new one is coming already!" Xiao Gucheng said listlessly.

"They say that teacher was introduced by Teacher Na Yue, and is supposedly from Huaxia," Yase Motoki said with a mysterious look.

"From Huaxia?" Aiba Asagi, who was nearby, was a bit surprised. "Why would someone from Huaxia come to this place?"

"They say it's a friend of Teacher Na Yue!" Yase Motoki said with a smile.

"Teacher Na Yue is here. Is that person next to her our new Chinese teacher? He looks really quite handsome!" Aiba Asagi said, looking out the window.

"What is this feeling?" Xiao Gucheng suddenly felt the blood in his body boil, and he couldn't help but shrink his pupils as he looked toward the classroom door.

The first to enter the classroom was Nangong Nayue. As her gaze swept over everyone in the room, the crowd that had been chattering away suddenly went quiet.

"Please come in, Teacher Lingyun," Nangong Nayue said toward the doorway.

Seeing the person walk in, Xiao Gucheng's pupils constricted even further, with a faint tendency to turn blood-red. He immediately lowered his head, doing his best to suppress the boiling of the blood in his body.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lingyun. I am very happy to be your Chinese teacher." Lingyun walked onto the podium with a smile and said to everyone present.

"Wow, this teacher looks so handsome."

"He's actually from Huaxia, that's really rare!"

"..."

Watching Lingyun introduce himself on the podium, the students below couldn't help but speak up.

"Gucheng-kun, are you not feeling well?" Aiba Asagi, who was nearby, saw Xiao Gucheng slumped over the desk and asked with some concern.

Lingyun, on the podium, also noticed Xiao Gucheng's abnormality. With a thought, the vampire power within him rapidly retracted.

Xiao Gucheng felt the boiling state of his blood gradually subside and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Only then did he realize his back was completely soaked.

He raised his head and said to Aiba Asagi with a pale complexion: "It's nothing, just not feeling well."

"That student, I see your complexion is a bit poor. Do you need to go to the infirmary to see the teacher?" Just then, Lingyun's voice suddenly rang out.

Xiao Gucheng looked up and gave Lingyun a grateful look. Although he knew his physical anomaly was caused by Lingyun, he felt no anger in his heart; after all, the root of this matter still lay within himself.

Yase Motoki took Xiao Gucheng to the infirmary, and Lingyun also left the classroom with Nangong Nayue. After all, his coming here to teach was a decision Nangong Nayue made just yesterday, and the onboarding procedures and the like had not yet been completed.

"Lingyun, what is going on with Xiao Gucheng's body? Why does this happen as soon as he meets you? I felt his internal magic power was extremely unstable at that moment, with the possibility of going berserk at any time."

In the office, Nangong Nayue set up a Soundproof Magic Array around herself and then asked Lingyun.

"Yuejiang, you should know that every True Ancestor is extremely arrogant, right?" Lingyun said.

"That's right, everyone acknowledges this point." Nangong Nayue nodded slightly.

"Although Xiao Gucheng is only a half-baked Fourth Progenitor, he is still a genuine True Ancestor. Every True Ancestor has established their own vast Empire, and the Fourth Progenitor is naturally no exception. Although Xiao Gucheng hasn't admitted it, in reality, the power of the Fourth Progenitor within him has already come to view this island as his own territory," Lingyun said slowly. "Although my vampire bloodline is not complete, its purity is absolutely not below that of the Fourth Progenitor. The trace of aura I leaked earlier was captured by the Fourth Progenitor's power. It's like another lion capable of competing for territory suddenly intruding into a lion's domain."

"Could it be that the Fourth Progenitor's power thinks you are provoking him, so it is displaying its power in front of you to act as a deterrent?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"Exactly, that's it." Lingyun shrugged.

"Then is there no way to fix this?" Nangong Nayue said, frowning.

"It's not that there's no way. If Xiao Gucheng could control the power within him, it wouldn't be a problem; after all, this is just the Fourth Progenitor's subconscious counterattack. But the biggest problem now is that he seems somewhat unwilling to accept his current power," Lingyun said.

"Leave this matter to me. I will persuade him to master his power as soon as possible. I don't think he wants to become a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment," Nangong Nayue said. "However, it is said that for a vampire to master their power, they seem to need a powerful medium!"

"A medium? Don't worry, the Lion King Marriage Agency has already delivered Xiao Gucheng's future wife to his doorstep!" Lingyun said with a smile. "Do you remember the girl we saw earlier who defeated the vampire?"

"Lion King... Marriage Agency?" A bunch of question marks appeared above Nangong Nayue's head. "Since when did the Lion King Organization become a marriage agency? And what do you mean by Xiao Gucheng's future wife?"

"As for that, you'll find out later!" Lingyun chuckled and stopped mentioning it.
