Chapter 171 – I'm Telling You to Scram (Part One)

Mo Yuxiang awkwardly tugged at his obviously too-small school uniform and silently shrank further into the corner.

He had been ordered to repeat his studies early this morning, leaving him no time to buy a new uniform. He had no choice but to dig out his old school uniform from his student days. Unfortunately, time had taken its toll—the lean, handsome youth was gone, replaced by a broader waistline and taller stature.

The uniform clung to him like it had shrunk two sizes, looking utterly ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

But ridiculous as it was, he couldn’t disobey the Young Emperor’s orders.

He quickly called Di Junxie to report on Ye Yunxi’s situation at school.

“Ming Siye?”

“Yes! Not just Ming Shao, but Berserker and Hegemon have also mobilized. They’re all trying to recruit Ye Yunxi!”

“Which one did she choose?”

“She hasn’t chosen yet. She said she’ll think about it.”

Mo Yuxiang wiped his sweat as he told the truth. On the other end of the line, Di Junxie curled his lips into a faint, inexplicably pleased smile.

“What conditions did they offer?”

“Full meal subsidies, unconditional connections with teachers, unrestricted club access, and protection for Ye Yunxi.”

Di Junxie’s smile widened.

“Understood.”

That was it??

Mo Yuxiang couldn’t help but ask, “Then I…” Can I go back now?

“Stay put. Keep reporting.”

Mo Yuxiang’s heart sank into an icy abyss. Ye Yunxi’s future looked incredibly bright—did she even need watching?

Did she??

She absolutely didn’t!

**

Standing under the bulletin board, everyone began searching for their class assignments.

First-year classes were randomly assigned. After a quick scan, they discovered they were all in different classes—only Fang You and Ye Yunxi were both placed in Class One.

Helian Moye was somewhat frustrated. She hadn’t been in the same class as Yunxi since middle school.

“Work hard in your new classes!”

Patting everyone’s shoulders, Ye Yunxi turned and left without hesitation—cool and composed as ever.

Ah, Yunxi was really impressive. They needed to strive to be like her!

Entering the classroom, Ye Yunxi found her seat, set down her backpack, and began reviewing the schedule.

The first-year curriculum was simple, focusing on both academic and martial studies—nothing difficult.

Soon, someone took the empty seat beside her, presumably her new deskmate. Ye Yunxi instinctively looked up and met a weathered face.

It wasn’t exactly old, but among a crowd of teenage students, this distinctly adult-looking face was truly jarring.

Especially that school uniform…

Emmmmm…

This taste…

Wasn’t this person called Mo Yuxiang? Aren’t you worried about dragging down your Young Emperor’s aesthetic standards??

“You…”

Before Ye Yunxi could finish, Mo Yuxiang frantically tugged at his clothes and exclaimed, “My custom-made uniform just hasn’t arrived yet!!”

“Hmm… I see. But that’s not what I wanted to ask.”

“What do you want to ask?”

Mo Yuxiang looked wary. He held quite a grudge against Ye Yunxi—if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t be stuck attending high school as her companion!!

“How old are you, really?”

“……”

“T-twenty-three!”

Ye Yunxi blinked. “How did you manage that?”

“Huh?”

“Failing for eight years—how did you pull that off?”

“……..”

Could he flip a table right now?!

“Are Jun Yao’s courses really that difficult?”

Mo Yuxiang wanted to cry, his heart filled with bitterness. And whose fault was all this anywayStill here making sarcastic remarks? Difficult my ass! I graduated ages ago, damn it!!!

Does it make you want to beat your chest in frustration?!

Mo Yuxiang didn’t want to bother with Ye Yunxi. He sat down with a gloomy face and flipped through his textbook.

Piss me off?

Just you wait, I’ll report you to the Young Emperor in a bit!

Tell him you’re fooling around with others in Jun Yao!

Make the Young Emperor divorce you!

Hmph!
