Chapter 489: The Legendary Little Grove

Li Zhanglao, how is the matter progressing?

Li Zhanglao was blocked from his path by someone.

After seeing the newcomer, he made a slight bow and said, "So it's Grandma Li."

Grandma Li is a prominent figure beside Ling Xueyao, also the wet‑nurse of two children, adept at scheming, highly powerful, and greatly favored by Ling Xueyao.

"Grandma Li, rest assured, the matter the Madam assigned, I will of course do my utmost."

As he said, he smiled smugly, looked around, and said to Grandma Li, "I have already assigned Ye Qingran to the Renxu 108 Class. You know, this 108 Class is not easy to handle."

His tone grew increasingly contemptuous.

Grandma Li's eyes brightened upon hearing that.

Even though she is not a member of the Academy, she has heard of the Renxu 108 Class.

It is a very odd class.

It has only seven students.

Compared with classes that usually have twenty to thirty students, the number is pitifully small.

Although it is a Renxu‑year class, the students are not all from the Renxu year.

Of the seven, only two are from the Renxu year; the other five belong to other cohorts.

They share one common trait: they are especially, especially hard to manage.

The Academy does have difficult students, but these are different; they not only have distinguished backgrounds, but also terrifying talents, and, of course, skills that can drive one to death.

Many Special Grade Instructors have met a Waterloo at their hands, some even leaving the Academy because of it.

Hence, in today's Academy, everyone turns pale at the mention.

"You have done well; I will return to report to the Madam."

Grandma Li nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Qingran was assigned to be the Class Instructor of the 108 Class; her days ahead will be miserable!

She can't wait to see her own misery!

Over here, Ye Qingran and Qin Hao also began to inquire about the Renxu 108 Class.

"Classmate, may I ask, do you know the Renxu 108 Class?"

Qin Hao stopped a passing Academy disciple.

The disciple, exuding upright aura, smiled faintly when halted by Qin Hao, displaying the Academy disciple's demeanor to the fullest.

However, when he heard "Renxu 108 Class," his attitude flipped a full 180 degrees.

His face turned a sudden white "Swish," his lips trembling, "Don't ask me, I know nothing!"

After speaking, he fled as if terribly frightened, leaving Qin Hao staring dumbfounded.

"What… is going on?"

Ye Qingran watched the disciple dash away like a puff of smoke, arms crossed over her chest, understanding in her heart.

"It seems the Renxu 108 Class truly has problems!"

Qin Hao finally caught on, scratching his head, "Could it be that this class is haunted?"

Ye Qingran gave him a cold stare.

To prevent other students from being frightened, Ye Qingran and Qin Hao waited by the road until a middle‑aged man dressed as an Instructor approached, then they called out to him.

"Excuse me, friend, we are new Instructors; may we ask you something?"

The middle‑aged Instructor saw Qin Hao holding a token symbolizing Academy Instructors and lowered his guard.

"Oh, a newcomer, no problem; if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"Who is this?"

He glanced at Ye Qingran beside Qin Hao, seeing her pristine beauty, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, this is Instructor Ye, a new Special Grade Instructor!"

"What?!"

The Instructor, as if seeing a ghost, leapt backward, distancing himself from Ye Qingran.

His gaze at Ye Qingran was complicated, containing a hint of sympathy.

Qin Hao looked at Ye Qingran, thinking to himself, this Renxu 108 Class truly is a huge problem!

"You must already know, Instructor Ye will soon be in charge of the Renxu 108 Class; what we want to ask is about the 108 Class…"

That Instructor, however, did not display the same terror as the earlier disciple.

He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Instructor Ye, although you are a Special Grade Instructor, logically you shouldn't be thrust into the role of Class Instructor right away."

Ye Qingran gave him a faint smile, shook her head helplessly, indicating she herself didn't know why this happened.

"That Renxu 108 Class is no good; in the three years before you arrived, it has scared away thirty‑six Special Grade Instructors! Some even, after being provoked, left the Academy outright!"

Uh...

Qin Hao widened his eyes.

What kind of class could be so fierce that so many Instructors chose to give up?

"Is the Renxu 108 Class really that formidable?"

The middle‑aged Instructor nodded affirmatively.

"The Renxu 108 Class has seven students in total, each a dragon or phoenix among people; regardless of background, talent, or appearance, they are all top‑notch, the elite of the entire Academy. Yet they share one trait: bizarre personalities, each uniquely odd! None are easy to get along with!"

"These students won't listen to reason, and even force can't subdue them, giving the Academy a massive headache. As you see, this class hasn't had a Class Instructor for over a year…"

The middle‑aged Instructor spoke while spreading his hands, sighing intermittently.

"Good heavens..."

Qin Hao was left staring dumbfounded.

On average, two Special Grade Instructors are scared off each month; this Renxu 108 Class is truly impressive!

No wonder no Instructor wants to teach this class, and no wonder everyone turns pale at the mention!

"What are you thinking of?" Qin Hao asked, "If it's just a matter of being hard to get along with, it shouldn't drive the Instructors to leave the Academy, right?"

"It's more than just being hard to get along with; when these people get ruthless, they show no mercy."

The middle-aged Instructor thought for a moment, then added, "Back then, a Special Grade Instructor tried to use harsh methods, never expecting that a disciple in the class almost killed him."

As he spoke, he wore a look of lingering fear.

"Ah, that's that serious," Ye Qingran remarked.

"Who says it's not? Instructor Ye, I advise you: go talk to Wu Yuanzhang; regarding this Renxu 108 Class, you'd better not take it on."

Ye Qingran looked at the well‑meaning Instructor, her eyebrow lifting, "Thanks for the warning. But after hearing that, I'm actually becoming more interested."

The middle-aged Instructor wore a look as if he'd seen a ghost.

"Instructor Ye, I'm serious."

"I am serious too."

She just loves playing with thrills.

Renxu 108 Class?

She can't wait to go meet it!

After saying goodbye to Qin Hao, Ye Qingran hadn't left the Academy yet when a figure swept her into the small grove.
