Outside the Gourmet's hut, Lan Jue and Huali could still feel the spicy aroma on their bodies.
"Woo —, this is so satisfying.
I haven't eaten so much in a long time.
If my manager knew I was eating like this, she'd kill me. "Huali held her head in her hands, looking up at the sky, her face contented.
His eyes were slightly closed, his long eyelashes resting on his lower eyelids. Under the dim light, he looked even more beautiful.
Lan Jue said, "Remember, you owe me a favor."
"Mm." Huali said, "Let's go back to your place.
Oh, right, you called me here, how do you want me to protect you?
Are you going somewhere? "
Lan Jue shook her head. "Nowhere."
"Not going anywhere?
Then why did you call me here?
Is there a safer place than Skyfire Avenue?
As long as you don't leave here, you won't be in any danger. "
Lan Jue smiled bitterly. "But I have to go to class.
And I promised to be someone's bodyguard.
Xiu Xiu and the others can go with me, but they're more or less in some trouble. I can't protect them right now, so it's safer for them to stay on Skyfire Avenue. "
"Class?
Bodyguard? "Huali quickly opened her eyes, looking at Lan Jue in surprise.
"Ah Jue, what's going on?
You still need to go to class?
And become someone's bodyguard?
If you want to be a bodyguard, then come and be my bodyguard!
Just tell me what you want. "
Lan Jue waved her hand. "No, listen to me."
She put her hands in her trouser pockets and walked slowly. "It's a long story, but in fact.
I only agreed to be her bodyguard because I owe someone something.
More importantly, I've decided to move on.
People can't always live in the past. I think, if Hera is still alive.
She wouldn't want to see me like this.
So, I want to start a new life.
I will never forget Hera. I will always let her live in the most important place in my heart.
But I have my own life.
Maybe I won't fall in love with anyone in the future.
But life has to go on. If I continue to sink, I won't be worthy of being called Zeus. "
Huali stopped in her tracks.
She looked at him seriously. There was shock in her eyes, but also joy. "Tell me. I'll be a good listener."
Lan Jue: "I'm attending classes at the National Eastern University.
What he taught was taste in life.
Find a way to sneak in and become a student or something.
Then follow me to and from school every day in secret.
From today onwards, you will help me heal my injuries. With you around, my injuries will more or less recover in a month's time.
In a few days the Pontiff's Citadel and the Dark Citadel will be arriving.
I can't do anything in my current situation.
When the time comes, I might have to ask you to act on my behalf. "
"The Pontiff's Citadel?
They dare come? "A murderous light flashed in Huali's eyes.
Lan Jue: "Why wouldn't they?
But I hear the Keeper has gone to that place.
I don't know what happened. "
"The Keeper is …?" Huali thought for a moment, then suddenly realized. "The Arcane Magnate?
The Arcane Magnate the Paragons call a madman? "
Lan Jue nodded.
A smile spread across Huali's face. "Interesting. He's willing to stand up for you. I'm afraid the Pontiff is in trouble."
Lan Jue chuckled.
"It can't be helped. They didn't think I'd be working with the Keeper when they set this up."
Huali nodded. "It's not a problem.
I'll help you out.
But I'm curious what you're like as a teacher! "
"Of course it's the handsomeness!" Lan Jue lifted his head slightly.
She struck a pose.
Huali looked at her with disdain. "You have the nerve to use the word handsome in front of me?
You're pretty hardworking. "
Lan Jue huffed. "That's not handsome. That's Huali's beauty!"
"Scram!"
…
The rising sun always gave people hope. Its pale golden rays spilled over the National Eastern University, and the air was filled with a scholarly aura.
The students who lived on campus had already woken up at the sound of the morning bell. After washing up, they went to exercise, then had breakfast.
Jin Yan arrived at school early, her brow furrowed with worry.
Yesterday Jin Tao had come home with a bloody nose and swollen face. She'd asked him how he'd gotten it, but he'd refused to tell her.
He'd had plenty of meals.
Fortunately, her parents were away on vacation.
But what could she do if things went on like this?
His grades weren't good, but he was a perfect fighter. His future was bleak!
How could she make her little brother not worry?
Thinking of this, Jin Yan couldn't help but think of the short-lived figure not long ago.
Even though he'd only been there for a day and had only one lesson, he'd left a deep impression in her heart.
That lesson was truly awe-inspiring.
"What is a noble!" Jin Yan couldn't help but mutter these words.
If she hadn't listened to his explanation, she probably wouldn't have known what a true noble was.
She could still clearly remember that after the lesson that day, Jin Tao seemed to have changed.
He'd even shouted that he wanted to become a noble.
Unfortunately, that Miss Lan had only been there for a day and disappeared. It was said that she'd applied for leave.
His lesson was so good, why didn't he come?
Moreover, he was quite handsome.
"Mr.Jin!" At this moment, a voice came from not far away.
Jin Yan turned her head and saw a man with meticulously combed hair walking towards her.
It was the dance teacher for the elective course, Wang Hongyuan.
"Teacher Wang, you're so early today!" Jin Yan responded politely but at a distance.
Wang Hongyuan smiled and said, "In our line of work, we need to rehearse often, or else we'll be rusty.
By the way, have you heard?
Yesterday, that Miss Lan came to the academy again. "
"Miss Lan?" Jin Yan was surprised and immediately overjoyed, "You mean Teacher Lan Jue?"
Wang Hongyuan's eyes flashed, "Yes, I heard that he came back to report yesterday, and …"
"And what?" Jin Yan asked doubtfully.
Wang Hongyuan said, "Yesterday, he seemed to have gone to the graduate school for some unknown reason, and then he was sent to the teaching office by Teacher Tan Lingyun. At that time, many students saw that Mr.Tan dragged him away.
It seems that Miss Lan doesn't have any outstanding individual ability. "
Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold, "Teacher Wang, we are all teachers. Let's not talk about the fact that Miss Lan teaches etiquette, not combat ability.
You shouldn't talk about others behind their backs. "
With that, she turned and left. There was no anger in her eyes, but rather joy. He was back!
As for the matter of him being sent to the teaching office by Teacher Tan Lingyun, didn't Wang Hongyuan say that it was a misunderstanding?
That wild girl, there weren't many in the academy who could beat her.
…
"What?
On Skyfire Planet?
When did this news come back? "
In a splendid room that looked like a palace, a tall, beautiful girl dressed in white exclaimed in surprise.
She looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with sharp eyes and a threatening aura. Her long hair was tied up at the top of her head, and she looked smart and capable.
"Yes, CEO Mo, we just received news from the intelligence department that a policewoman from Skyfire Planet has seen the Young Master."
"Bastard!" Mo Xiao roared, "Why did Huali go so far away for no reason?
Doesn't he know that the new album Neptune, Sounds of Nature is about to be released?
Yesterday, he even gave the order to seal off the Sacred City's economy. Did he get kissed by a pig when he was a child?
What did he say when he left? "
"The Young Master received an interstellar communication from his secret line, then said that he was going on vacation, but he didn't say where.
The Young Master used to complain that work was too tiring, so we didn't pay much attention to it.
Who knew that the Young Master would disappear an hour later, and he didn't bring anything with him. "
Mo Xiao put her hands on her hips, her full breasts rising and falling in anger.
"Make preparations, the new album launch will be held on Skyfire Planet.
All preparations will be centered around Skyfire Planet.
Send a spaceship over, I'll be there immediately. "
"Then, about the Young Master sealing off the Sacred City's economy …"
Mo Xiao looked coldly at the subordinate in front of her. "Is this your first day here?
When has he ever given up on what he wants to do?
Do as he says. Even if he wants to give away the entire company, no one is allowed to go against his wishes. "
"Yes!"
Mo Xiao fiercely muttered to herself, "Isn't it just being a prodigal?
Bastard, I'll accompany you! "
…
As usual, they pedaled their bicycles to the National Eastern University, but this time, there was an extra person on Lan Jue's back seat.
Huali wore a mask on his face, but the color of his hair had turned black. If one looked closely, they would realize that it was actually a wig. The color of his eyes had also changed, becoming black.
They were black contact lenses.
And a pair of black-framed flat lenses.
It was really not easy to recognize his original appearance.
"Your school is quite troublesome. It wasn't easy to get the status of an auditing student, but you still can't enter the graduate school.
Speaking of which, Ah Jue, is it really okay for you to dress like this for class? "
Today, Lan Jue wore a sapphire three-piece suit, black tie, white handkerchief, and brown Ferragamo handmade leather shoes. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like she was attending a banquet.
"Have you forgotten what I teach?" Lan Jue's voice was placid.
I teach etiquette. If my own etiquette isn't up to par, how can I teach my students?
Today, I'm going to teach them the simple rules of wearing formal wear. "

Once again, I thank everyone for their support.
