"Teacher, did you call the two of us here alone to give us some instructions?"
Following Teacher Xin into the ancient-style classroom, Hu Liena's foxy eyes sparkled with curiosity. The faint fragrance emanating from her teacher seemed to linger in the air, filling her senses and making her feel completely refreshed.
The classroom was quiet and elegant. Sunlight filtered through the wooden lattice windows, casting soft patterns across the floor. Compared to the lively atmosphere outside, the room felt peaceful and secluded.
"There are only three spots for the Named Disciple advancement assessment. You two are behind in your studies, which isn't fair to you. I've compiled the Spirit Master theories that Named Disciples previously studied, as well as the academy's school motto and regulations manual. Take them back and study them. I hope you can achieve good results in the assessment one month from now."
As he spoke, Xin opened the drawer beneath the podium and retrieved four carefully organized booklets.
The pages contained not only academy regulations but also years of accumulated theoretical knowledge. For ordinary students, obtaining such materials would have been difficult. Yet Xin had personally prepared them for the two girls.
"Regardless of whether you secure an advancement spot, I will formulate exclusive Spirit evolution and cultivation routes for you and impart unique cultivation techniques."
Xin divided the booklets into two sets and handed them to Hu Liena and Qian Renxue respectively.
Hu Liena's eyes immediately brightened.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
She hugged the books tightly against her chest, unable to conceal her happiness.
To her, the greatest reward was not the study materials themselves but the fact that Teacher Xin had personally taken the time to prepare them.
Qian Renxue accepted her own set of books as well, though her expression was noticeably more complicated.
She pursed her cold lips slightly before speaking with a hint of resentment.
"Teacher, do we really have to let Teacher Dong... Teacher Dong supervise the exam? She has always been at odds with me. What if she trips me up?"
The words "Teacher Dong" almost got stuck in her throat.
Every time she addressed Bibi Dong that way, it felt incredibly awkward.
Xin could not help smiling at her concern.
"Don't worry about that. I will train Teacher Dong properly so she supervises the examination with fairness and impartiality. If she abuses her authority, you can report her to me, and I will punish her."
His tone was calm and reassuring.
Hearing that, Qian Renxue finally relaxed.
"With Teacher's words, I feel at ease."
However, as soon as her worries subsided, another thought appeared in her mind.
Her eyes shifted slightly as her imagination began running wild.
"But, Teacher, how do you train her? Can you train me too? How can I become an assistant teacher at the academy? I also want to become Teacher's right-hand person!"
Her words came out one after another without pause.
A student who doesn't want to become a teacher is not a good student.
At least, that was how Qian Renxue currently viewed things.
In fact, after spending so much time at Heart of Fire Academy, she found herself wanting to become a teacher more and more.
The moment she imagined Xin personally guiding Bibi Dong, her thoughts immediately drifted elsewhere.
In her mind appeared a scene of Teacher Xin and Bibi Dong alone in a private room.
Teacher explaining examination standards.
Bibi Dong taking notes.
One speaking.
One listening.
One asking questions.
One answering patiently.
Their eyes occasionally meeting.
The atmosphere becoming increasingly harmonious and ambiguous.
The image instantly made Qian Renxue feel uncomfortable.
No!
Absolutely not!
She could not allow that woman, Bibi Dong, to gain any advantage.
The more she thought about it, the more determined she became.
Seeing the ever-changing expressions on Qian Renxue's face, Xin could roughly guess that the girl was imagining something strange again.
He shook his head helplessly.
"You little girl, you think too much."
Qian Renxue immediately looked away guiltily.
"Study first. If you can pass the Named Disciple advancement assessment, I have a precious gift to give you. And with your talent, as long as you focus on your studies, I believe you will graduate very soon."
Xin waved his hand casually.
Speaking of which, he still owed Qian Renxue a favor from before. Since the opportunity had presented itself, he intended to make up for it properly.
"A gift?"
Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up.
All thoughts about Bibi Dong vanished from her mind.
Teacher's gift!
A precious gift personally prepared by Teacher!
Her heart immediately filled with anticipation.
She even began secretly guessing what it might be.
A cultivation technique?
A rare medicinal herb?
A Spirit evolution plan?
Or perhaps something even more special?
The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena, who had been standing beside them, noticed the obvious difference in treatment.
She puffed out her cheeks slightly and looked at Xin with a pitiful expression.
Hu Liena pouted slightly, aggrieved, "Teacher, don't I get a gift?"
