Chapter 2310: Yan Ke: Gu...Good Morning, Everyone

Yun Pianpian was startled by Gu Zhiqi’s words, and the people eavesdropping around them were also shocked.

They were thinking similarly to Yun Pianpian.

"Tch—"

Though the others remained silent while eavesdropping, someone wanted to speak up, and naturally, that person was Yen Qiming.

Already resentful from Gu Zhiqi beating him up yesterday, he couldn’t miss the chance to mock Gu Zhiqi.

"Hey, you know what it means to go out for training, don’t you?"

"Those senior students are the best in the Mystical Studies Academy; they’re practically all-rounders. You two repeat students want to team up with them?"

"Dream on."

Listening to Yen Qiming’s taunts, Gu Zhiqi remained unfazed and didn’t even bother to respond.

Yun Pianpian’s face darkened; she was ashamed and angry, her cheeks flushed red. However, she was even more worried that Gu Zhiqi might beat Yen Qiming again.

Obviously, her worries were unfounded. Gu Zhiqi had no intention of moving but lowered her head to flip through the book in her hands.

Seeing this, Yun Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief.

Yen Qiming felt frustrated, like punching a pillow, when Gu Zhiqi ignored him.

He wanted to mock Gu Zhiqi a bit more, but then he noticed the professor had arrived.

This class was Mystical Art, personally taught by Yan Ke, the dean of the Mystical Studies Academy. It was the most popular class among students.

Yan Ke, with a book tucked under his arm, strolled into the classroom. When he saw Gu Zhiqi sitting upright at her seat, he paused and moved his lips, "Gu..."

The moment he spoke the first word, he saw Gu Zhiqi lift her gaze.

Facing Gu Zhiqi’s deep and chilly eyes, Yan Ke abruptly shifted the topic, "Good morning, students."

Yan Ke’s words caught the students off guard, and they looked up at him.

Why did the dean suddenly speak in a foreign language?

It was known that he never spoke foreign languages.

Everyone looked at Yan Ke with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Yan Ke pretended not to notice their expressions, placing the book from under his arm onto the podium to begin teaching.

**

In the past, Yan Ke would leave immediately after class, but today he didn’t.

Watching the students approach to ask questions, Yan Ke glanced at Gu Zhiqi and said, "The student who took a two-year leave, wait a moment. I have some arrangements to discuss with you."

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

After a pause of two seconds, she nodded at Yan Ke, agreeing.

Incidentally, she also had something to discuss with Yan Ke.

With many students asking questions, Yan Ke spent about twenty minutes answering them before calling Gu Zhiqi to go to the office.

Everyone was envious of Gu Zhiqi being able to leave with Yan Ke.

"Do you just need to take a two-year leave to walk shoulder to shoulder with the dean to the office?"

"This student is really bold, taking a two-year leave."

"Am I the only one curious about why this student took a two-year leave?"

"Do you think if I asked for a two-year leave, the dean would grant it?"

...

After Gu Zhiqi and Yan Ke left, the classroom started buzzing with discussions.

Listening to the chatter, Yen Qiming sneered, saying, "What’s there to pay attention to about taking a two-year leave and repeating the year twice?"

"No matter what she did during the leave, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a repeat student."

As soon as Yen Qiming spoke, others fell silent.

Several who had repeated a year glanced at Yen Qiming, feeling annoyed but not daring to speak.

They merely glanced before quickly packing up and leaving.
