Watching Wu Changkong lead Xu Xiaoyan directly out of the office, Long Hengxu was not angry at the other party's cold attitude. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"The task is finally complete," he murmured. "But whether she can stay in Zero Class depends on her own ability."
Long Hengxu picked up the soul communicator on the desk and dialed the Dean's dedicated line.
"Dean, it's me, Long Hengxu." His voice unconsciously carried a hint of respect. "Things went smoothly. Teacher Wu has agreed to accept Xu Xiaoyan into Zero Class. The issues of Cultivation resources and funds have all been resolved."
Dean Yu Zhen's steady voice came: "Hmm, you did well."
"Next, let Wu Changkong lead Zero Class to represent our Eastsea Academy in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."
"What?" Long Hengxu's eyes widened in surprise. "Dean, they are so young, and they are participating in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition? Those are the most outstanding students from all major districts! What if something unexpected happens…?"
"Don't worry." Dean Yu Zhen interrupted his concerns, his voice revealing a shrewd and steady demeanor. "I don't care about the competition ranking. What I care about is showcasing the teaching strength of our Eastsea Academy to the entire Tianhai Alliance through Zero Class."
He paused and continued, "As long as the students of Zero Class demonstrate strong abilities, by then, will we still be afraid of not having Geniuses come to our Eastsea Academy?"
Long Hengxu suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "So that's it! Dean is far-sighted."
"After this is done, your bonus will not be small."
"Work hard." Dean Yu Zhen began to draw a picture, "If this matter is accomplished, your year-end bonus will naturally be more generous."
"Thank you for your guidance, Dean!" Long Hengxu's voice instantly became more energetic, and his back straightened unconsciously.
After ending the call, he looked at the campus scenery outside the window, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upward.
It was as if he could already see the bright future of Eastsea Academy becoming famous under the leadership of Zero Class.
…
On the other side, Xu Xiaoyan followed Wu Changkong into the dormitory building.
She curiously looked around at everything. In Elementary Academy, she had always been a day student and had never lived in an Academy dormitory.
"Here we are, this is your dormitory." Wu Changkong pushed open the dormitory door and led Xu Xiaoyan inside.
"Zero Class's conditions are this good? It's actually a single room?" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened in surprise.
The dormitory was not only spacious and bright but also equipped with a comfortable large bed. All daily necessities were available, and there were even independent bathroom facilities.
This level of luxury completely exceeded her imagination of an Academy dormitory.
"Remember, all the privileges you enjoy are because of Zero Class." Wu Changkong's voice was cold. "You only have one month."
Wu Changkong left this sentence and turned to leave.
"I will definitely stay," Xu Xiaoyan said to Wu Changkong's retreating back.
After a simple familiarization with the dormitory environment, Xu Xiaoyan tidied herself up and headed to the Zero Class classroom to report.
Zero Class classroom.
Fang Yang walked in holding Gu Yue's hand, with Xie Xie following closely behind.
When they pushed open the door, they found Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi already sitting in the classroom.
"Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, you came so early?" Fang Yang greeted with a smile.
Zhang Yangzi smiled: "Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so I came early."
Wang Jinxi, as always, was taciturn, simply nodding in response.
"This young master Xie Xie is back! Welcome your King!" Xie Xie exaggeratedly spread his arms, striking a flamboyant pose.
The classroom was silent, with no one responding.
"Hey, you guys are not giving me any Face…"
Xie Xie's words were cut short by the sudden opening of the classroom door.
"Hey, everyone's here?" Tang Wulin walked in holding Senior Ouyang Zixin's hand.
Xie Xie immediately shifted his target, "Tang Wulin, you…"
Before he could finish, Tang Wulin unleashed a Blue Silver Entanglement.
"Mmm… Mmm…" Xie Xie could only make muffled sounds.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Wulin quickly turned to Ouyang Zixin: "Senior, are you okay?"
"Wu Lin, I'm fine, it's just him…" Senior Ouyang Zixin looked at Xie Xie, who was entangled by Blue Silver Grass.
Fang Yang explained with a smile: "Senior, don't worry, letting Xie Xie be quiet for a while is good for him."
The others also chimed in: "Exactly!"
Xie Xie glared at everyone angrily, but could only make "mmm mmm" sounds in protest.
Ouyang Zixin smiled slightly at the sight: "Wu Lin, then I'll go back to my own class first."
"Okay, Senior, see you later," Tang Wulin said gently.
After watching Senior Ouyang Zixin leave, Xie Xie desperately pointed at his mouth.
Tang Wulin understood and released Xie Xie from the Blue Silver Entanglement.
"Tang Wulin! You went too far! And all of you!" Xie Xie protested loudly as soon as he regained his freedom.
Tang Wulin spread his hands helplessly: "Xie Xie, I'm sorry, I did that to protect Senior."
"Tang Wulin, you…" Xie Xie was so angry he couldn't speak.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore," Tang Wulin quickly appeased him.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the classroom.
Wu Changkong pushed the door open, with a girl following behind him.
"Today, we have a new classmate in Zero Class." Wu Changkong looked at everyone. "Welcome, student Xu Xiaoyan."
Everyone applauded in welcome, but when they saw who it was, they all coincidentally turned their gaze towards Fang Yang.
For no other reason than, wasn't this the girl they met at the barbecue party that day? She had indeed said she was transferring to Eastsea Academy at the time, but they never expected her to directly join Zero Class!
Noticing everyone's reaction, Wu Changkong was slightly taken aback: "You know each other?"
Xie Xie immediately raised his hand: "Well, you'll have to ask Fang Yang about that." He then winked at Fang Yang.
Wu Changkong looked at Fang Yang thoughtfully, already having made a judgment in his heart.
As his most valued student, Fang Yang's judgment had always been correct; Gu Yue, whom he had previously favored, was the best proof. Given that, this Xu Xiaoyan must also be extraordinary.
Long Hengxu: "No? Teacher Wu, where are your principles???"
Fang Yang noticed Wu Changkong's gaze and quickly explained: "Teacher Wu…"
However, Xu Xiaoyan will truly be the strongest controller under the starry sky in the future!
"You all get to know each other first." Wu Changkong's voice was cold. "Xu Xiaoyan, introduce yourself."
"My name is Xu Xiaoyan, it's a pleasure to meet everyone," Xu Xiaoyan said gracefully, her gaze unconsciously looking in the direction led by Fang Yang.
"Welcome to our Zero Class." Fang Yang smiled slightly, and the others also greeted her warmly.
