Chapter 8, Purple Snow, Trouble

As we approached the cafeteria, the number of people around us gradually increased. Zixue attempted several times to break free from my firm grip, but I held on tightly, drawing envious and jealous glances from the students we encountered along the way

I awkwardly said: "Teacher, it has nothing to do with Zixue; it is that I cannot stand that kid Warren."

The Fire Element seemed to understand something and said: "I see, is it not the case that the Vice Dean confined you in order to help you avoid the entanglements of the nobility, and that choosing the library was to provide you with an opportunity for self-study and further education"

Wow, he looks so cool. Being with Zixue truly exemplifies a perfect match of talent and beauty, I am so envious

I did not interrupt their conversation; it is better for Zixue to handle such matters herself

I smiled faintly, just about to pull her to buy some food, when that detestable figure of Warren appeared before us. With a grim face, he said: "Let go of Zixue, what right do you have to hold her?"

Warren instinctively touched his healed arm, his imposing demeanor noticeably diminished. With a fierce tone, he said, "Alright, you are tough. If you have the ability, don't leave; just wait and see." After saying this, he turned around and left in a dejected manner.

I held her gaze unwaveringly, and her sharp eyes gradually shifted to a look of confusion under my aggressive stare. She sighed and said, "I really don't know what Zixue likes about you."

It is simply a case of the three departments holding a joint review, with one group leaving and another arriving. I gently said to Zixue, "I know this puts you in a difficult position, but it is something that must be done. A short pain is better than a long one. I do not wish to prolong this and encounter trouble later. Do you understand?"

Furrowing his brows, he said: "Lei Xiang, why is it you again? I just finished your confinement; have you forgotten?" As he spoke, he even gave me a knowing glance.

So that's how it is, no wonder Riva told me to hold on until I meet him. If I want to compete with him, I must first become the champion of my grade.

I smiled and said: "People like them will not give up their entanglement unless you provide them with an unforgettable memento. Don't worry about it, I will handle everything. Let's go have dinner first"

Her appearance is truly adorable, and I laughed heartily, saying: "Silly little thing, I was just kidding you. You are really amusing"

I gently said to Zixue: "What do you want to eat? I will go buy it."

Zixue first stole a glance at me, then whispered, "I don't know either; it should be that I tricked him into liking me. Ever since I first saw him, I have been irresistibly drawn to him, but I never expected him to like me back. I feel that he is so lonely and somewhat unattainable. I never thought he would like me."

I looked at him coldly and said, "Let me see how many reinforcements you have brought that dare to be so audacious"

Never mind, there will surely be a way when the car reaches the mountain, we will discuss it then

Zixue finally reacted, angrily saying: "You are really bad, how could you... sob." I interrupted her words in the most direct way, greedily savoring her sweet lips. After a while, she pushed me away, complaining: "How annoying, don't make such jokes with me in the future."

No way, Klan really likes me, otherwise why would she take the initiative to come find me? If she comes to find me, what should I say to her? As for Klan, I can't say I have no feelings for her, but I'm afraid of losing Zixue because of her. I fell into deep thought.

It is precisely because you are strong that you need to eat more; with your size, how can you get enough nutrition without eating more

Although I know this person is certainly not easy to deal with, at this moment I must not back down. I pulled Zixue aside and said: "You stay here and watch, absolutely do not interfere, everything is on me. If you are here, I will be distracted, so listen and be good."

I glanced at Zixue, whose face was filled with anxiety. I couldn't bear to see her worried, so I had no choice but to abandon my principles. Reluctantly, I said: "Alright, for your sake, I will let them off this time."

How did I become such a big mouth

Returning to the dormitory, Fengyun and the three of them were all present, seemingly preparing to conduct a collective interrogation of me

Jin Lili suppressed her anger and said to me sharply: "Remember this, if you dare to bully Zixue, I will not let you off."

"My wife has commanded me to execute it immediately." After saying this, I quickly began to devour the dinner in front of me. Surprisingly, Zixue did not refute me; instead, she continuously handed me the meat and the illustrations from her plate.

Although she knew that I had changed the subject to evade the issue, she was still intrigued and replied: "The martial arts competition is very important; it is a key method for the academy to assess its students. It is held annually in February, which means it coincides with the end of this semester. It is also a shortcut to entering the official ranks. Any student who can achieve a top ten position has the potential to join the Dragon Knight team"

I disdainfully said: "What is so great about the nobility? Just because they were born with a golden key, they have privileges? I look down on such people the most. It is not something they earned through their own efforts, yet they act so arrogantly. Last night, after my restrictions were lifted, I almost got into a fight with Riva during dinner; he is the most formidable noble I have ever encountered."

You ... ...

I said: "Sit down, eating won't stop your mouth."

Fire Path: "And you still have the nerve to say something, you were confined this time, our teacher was almost frantic, he sought out the vice principal several times to plead for you, but that old fellow just wouldn't agree, he kept you locked up for three months. Now that the new semester has just started, you've already fallen behind so much, how are you going to catch up?"

I used the same method to bring Zixue and Heilong into the academy. After settling Heilong in the stable, I took Zixue's hand and headed straight to the cafeteria

The voice of Zixue came from behind, "You are not allowed to seek out any nurse in the future." It seems that when it comes to the person I love most, even a shy girl like Zixue cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes! Hearing her words, I couldn't help but think of Kran. During those 10 days of recuperation in the hospital, I could sense her affection for me; her gaze was so clear and sincere. It seems I need to find an opportunity to clarify things with her, after all, Zixue is my choice now.

I responded to his challenge with a resolute gaze

As I sat down to eat after buying my meal, another acquaintance approached me. It was the same beautiful woman, Jin Lili, who had once stood up for Zixue. I could see the surprise and hostility in her eyes. She ignored me and sat down next to Zixue, pulling her aside and asking, "You can't tell me you spent the entire afternoon skipping class just to be with this guy."

A person walked in from outside, standing no shorter than me. Although not as robust as I am, his figure was imposing, emanating a formidable strength from within. His face was gaunt, and his eyes sparkled with intensity. Who is this? I found myself completely at a disadvantage in terms of presence, being suppressed by him.

I coldly snorted from the side, "What a nuisance."

I shot him a glare and said, "Just because of your big mouth, I won't say anything. However, I suggest you all visit the library often; there are many excellent books there"

Warren disdainfully said: "It is not the number of soldiers that matters, but their skill. Today, I will show you what true martial arts really are"

My aloofness and coldness have long been cast aside at this moment; all I want now is to cherish the treasure in my arms. I tease her, saying: "If you hit me again, I might just aggravate an old injury."

Fengyun sat beside me but ignored me, grinning as he asked Zixue, "Miss Zixue, how did Lei Xiang manage to win you over? Can you tell me? You are the dream girl of most of our boys, yet this guy got ahead of us."

Zixue said casually, "Senior Liwa, no need to be polite. You should be graduating this year, right? Why are you still here joining the fun?" I felt a quiet gratitude in my heart; Zixue was clearly reminding me that this person was a fifth-year student, and it seemed he held a significant position among the aristocrats.

Riva bowed and said: "Yes, Vice Dean."

I chuckled and said, "What is there to be afraid of? I don't see why you would be afraid of me. I have become a bit more cheerful than before, perhaps because the melting of the purple snow has warmed my cold heart." I thought to myself, there should also be credit to Klan. How should I handle this matter so as not to hurt Klan?

I said calmly: "It seems that guy just said the same thing, yet here I am sitting just fine. However, rest assured, I have only love for Zixue and will never allow her to suffer even the slightest harm."

At your command, my dear

I said coldly: "You are not her, so of course you wouldn't know." My gentle side is only shown to the one I love; to someone as overbearing as her, I certainly would not show any kindness.

She suddenly realized: "So I wrongly accused the vice dean at www.hetushu.com. You are truly impressive; you have learned all the basic magic in just three months, which is no small feat. In the future, do not compete with those nobles; you cannot win against them."

I was taken aback by what she said, and it took me a while to respond, saying: "Teacher, you do not oppose my relationship with Zixue..."

Teacher Zhuang naturally said: "Oppose? Why would I oppose? At your age, it is normal to be emotional; this is a common situation. What I want to remind you is that you must control yourself and avoid causing any trouble. Besides, would it even matter if I opposed? Although our time together as teacher and student has not been long, I feel I understand your personality quite well. Silly boy, when you encounter someone you like, do not give up easily, and absolutely do not hurt the other person, understand?" Although our time together as teacher and student has not been long, I feel I understand your personality quite well. Silly boy, when you encounter someone you like, do not give up easily, and absolutely do not hurt the other person, understand?

Upon hearing my words, Zixue quickly retracted her fist, replacing it with a gentle caress. She looked up at me, her expression filled with panic, and asked, "How is it? Did I hurt you?"

Only then did she gradually come to her senses, realizing that it was already dark outside. She exclaimed, "It's so late! We're done for! They'll definitely laugh at us when we go back. It's all your fault!" Her small fists kept pounding against my broad chest.

Teacher Zhuang revealed a cunning expression of success and said with a smile, "What I just said was a bluff; now I truly understand. It turns out it is for Zixue. She is a wonderful girl, and you should cherish her well! However, you need to be a bit more discreet in the academy, as dating is not permitted there."

Everyone should go to sleep, as there are classes tomorrow

I asked: "Why is it different?"

In order to avoid the loss of talent, the academy has also stipulated that the champion of a lower grade can challenge the champion of any higher grade. If they win, they can directly advance to the fifth grade

The vice dean turned and left, and Jin Lili emerged from the vice dean's departing figure. She skipped over and said to Zixue: "How is it? I arrived just in time, didn't I? It was I who called the vice dean here; how will you thank me?"

I expressed my displeasure: "Do not speak ill of the vice dean; you do not understand, he is only restricting my freedom for my own good. These three months are very important to me. However, I still want to thank Teacher Zhuang; she is indeed a responsible and excellent teacher"

The two of them chattered for quite a while, and in the end, it seemed that Jin Lili was persuaded by Zixue. She stood up and walked in front of me, glaring at me fiercely

I nodded and said, "You are very clever, much better than some people."

Teacher Zhuang seemed to recall something and said: "By the way, after you were put in confinement, a girl came to look for you. She seems to be a nurse from our college's affiliated hospital, quite beautiful and also appears to be quite clever. I told her you were in confinement, and she looked very sad, saying she would come to find you after you got out. It should be in the next few days, right? You aren't playing both sides, are you?"

The illumination from the magic stone made every detail in the cafeteria clearly visible. There were many people inside, and when Zixue and I entered, my tall figure and Zixue's beautiful appearance immediately became the focus of everyone's attention

Teacher Zhuang fixed her sharp gaze upon me and suddenly said, "Ah, I understand."

I smiled and said, "Don't call me that; I may not be greater than you. Zixue is a good girl; she treats me well, and I like her very much, so it naturally turned out this way."

I looked at him with a cold smile and said: "Do you have any right to interfere? Is your arm no longer in pain? Do you want to try again? Get lost."

Teacher Zhuang chuckled and said, "Which chubby girl is quite strong-willed? She became the top student mainly due to luck. Can't I see who is truly strong? If it weren't for you and Feng being equally matched, she wouldn't have been able to take that position. By then, I will be doing her job. Oh dear, let's go; I've been talking to you for too long, and class has already started."

After finishing the meal, Zixue noticed that I was sitting still, knowing that I was waiting for Warren and the others. She held my hand and whispered, "Shall we leave? Let's not stoop to their level."

Zixue said: "There is no need for that; he is my friend and also my closest person. The matters between us do not require the intervention of outsiders." Her words warmed my heart.

Considering her concern for Zixue, I did not want to confront her directly, so I ignored her. Jin Lili turned to Zixue and said, "If he bullies you, you must tell me; I will stand up for you. You all go ahead and eat; I will leave first"

Hearing Zixue's words, a strong light burst forth in Wa's eyes as he stared directly at me. I met his gaze without backing down. He said, "Then I must see what kind of person can make Miss Zixue, who usually regards men as nothing, feel moved."

Jin Lili's face turned red with anger, and she shouted loudly: "If it weren't for Zixue, I wouldn't help you at all. Do you know how formidable Liwa is? He is now an upper-level Earth Knight with strength close to that of a Dragon Knight, which is beyond your ability to contend with"

The sound of the fire element rose up, "Hey, Lei Xiang, why aren't you speaking? You didn't even greet us."

I had not yet responded when Liwa unexpectedly spoke up. He smiled apologetically at the vice dean and said, "Vice Dean, hello, we are not causing any trouble; everyone is just chatting." Why would he defend me like this?

Mars Road: "You seem to be more cheerful than before, no longer so gloomy. At the very least, you can chat with a few of us now, which you didn't do before. You always had a sullen expression, and I was afraid to see you."

Mars Road: "Leige, you truly are impressive, having actually caught up with Miss Zixue. Please share with us your heroic achievements."

Is that so? Then I will wait and see

Zixue murmured softly: "Now you've caused my demise, how will I attend classes at the academy in the future?"

The man first bowed deeply to Zixue and said, "Long time no see, Miss Zixue. Liwa pays his respects here. Please convey my regards to His Excellency the Duke." His actions clearly indicated that he did not regard me highly. What surprised me even more was that Zixue's father was actually a duke who could stand on equal footing with a prince; no wonder no one dared to be disrespectful to her.

I knocked on the door, and a familiar voice came from inside, "Who is it? Come in."

That is my own business and does not concern you

Teacher Zhuang said, "Therefore, you must train diligently and strive to bring me a championship for the grade. Speaking of which, I feel embarrassed; I have led several magic warrior classes, yet in the inter-grade competition, we usually end up among the bottom two. You must help me regain some face. This year, our grade has admitted a few more students, so there are a total of 6 classes and 12 participants. Even if you cannot secure the championship, you must at least place in the top three. Both you and Feng Wen have great potential. I plan to send you to compete at that time.

Teacher Zhuang shook his head and said: "It is divided by grade. The academy has a total of five grades, with each class selecting two students to participate in the competition. The top ten I mentioned earlier refers to the top ten from the fifth grade, meaning that each class in the fifth grade has nominated 10 participants. Although there have been outstanding students from lower grades, overall, the quality of the fifth grade is the highest, and they are also nearing graduation. The 10 students selected from the fifth grade in each session are indeed the fortunate ones and will certainly be given significant opportunities.

I leaned over the edge of the bed and said to him, "So did you say it or not?" In an instant, he was left speechless.

I said hoarsely: "Teacher, thank you for your concern, I am doing well"

Early in the morning, I was called up by them. After having breakfast, I decided to go find Teacher Zhuang before class to inform her that I have returned. She cares for me so much, so I must let her know first.

Fengyun exclaimed: "I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving first, you all continue." Saying this, he turned and ran away. Zi Xue and I exchanged a smile and continued our sweet dinner.

Zixue tugged at my sleeve, looking at me with a pleading expression. I huffed at Jin Lili and said softly, "Zixue, let me take you back."

Teacher Zhuang sighed and said, "It is all due to the teacher's incompetence, unable to excuse you. The deputy dean insisted on suspending you for three months. Starting today, you should come to my place in the evenings for extra lessons. You must not fall behind. You have great potential, and my expectations for you are very high."

The vice dean looked at him sternly and said, "Riva, as the son of the Dragon Knight and the top student of the Academy's Heavenly Dragon Group, you should be mindful of your influence within the Academy. Consider this a warning; I will overlook this incident this time. If you truly wish to fight, do so during the Academy's annual martial arts competition. If I find out that anyone engages in private brawls again, do not blame me for being unkind; I will immediately expel you from the Academy." It turns out Riva has such a significant background; no wonder he seems so formidable, being the son of the Dragon Knight. The vice dean was clearly reminding me of his status.

Zixue glanced at her, quickly nodded gently, her small face nearly buried in her chest

"It's that brat again; he actually dares to hold Miss Zixue's hand. I must go teach him a lesson"

Alright, everyone disperse now and go about your business. Riva, you and Warren come with me. Lei Xiang, I warn you, your punishment has just been lifted; if you offend again, you heard what I just said. Let's go.

I wondered: "Did I mention you?" Feng Yun was instantly rendered speechless, provoking hearty laughter from the Huo brothers.

Is this the new student who fought with the nobles last time? Look, he is actually holding Zixue's hand

Why does she care about me so much? I can feel that her concern comes from the heart. Her words warm my heart and make my nose a bit sour. My mother has never cared for me like this since I was a child, so why does a teacher I have known for less than 4 months care for me so deeply?

Teacher Zhuang nudged me and said, "I am asking you a question."

I blushed and said, "Teacher, it's time for class. Let's talk later."

Isn't Feng Juan the top student in the class? Is it appropriate not to let her compete?

I said casually: "What's wrong? Someone just saw it too. I want everyone to know that you are mine. Don't you want that? As for the academy's ridiculous rules, they are inherently unreasonable. Let's not worry about them; I will handle everything." Saying this, I pulled her into the cafeteria.

Jin Lili pressed on with her questions: "How did he manage to win you over? He didn't use any underhanded methods, did he?" Zixue firmly shook her head and replied: "Sister Jin, I really like him. Please don't ask me anymore. We are sincere..."

Fengyun feigned anger and said: "What is wrong with me"

After much effort, I finally persuaded the reluctant Zixue to step aside. I channeled all my fighting spirit into my body and secretly cast a flying spell on myself, keeping a close watch on my opponent. Everyone knew that a great confrontation was imminent

Upon hearing my previous words, Jin Lili immediately wanted to explode in anger, but was tightly held back by Zixue. It was only after hearing the latter part of the statement that her expression gradually softened. With a cold snort, she said: "Remember what you have said yourself"

I walked into Teacher Zhuang's office, where she was sitting behind her desk, seemingly engrossed in her writing. Upon seeing me, she looked up with a surprised expression, stood up from her chair, and grasped my sturdy arm, saying, "Lei Xiang, you are back. Have you endured any hardships during this time?"

I suddenly came to my senses from my deep thoughts. How should I speak to the teacher? She has been so kind to me, and I cannot bear to deceive her. An idea struck me, and I said: "By the way, Teacher Zhuang, I heard from the deputy dean that our college has an annual competition. What is that about?"

Zixue's face was as red as the evening glow, and with her head lowered, she softly said: "I really feel like I've caused you trouble; how can I have the mood to eat? You decide what to do."

Zi Xue whispered, "No need, I can go back with Sister Li, she is already upset."

I coldly laughed at his back and said: "Are you trying to scare me? If I were afraid of being scared, I wouldn't have come here."

I also realized this issue and hurriedly ran towards the classroom with Teacher Zhuang

Jin Lili angrily said, "You, you..." Zixue quickly grabbed Jin Lili and made a pleading expression at her.

I looked at Fengyun with displeasure. He seemed not to notice, eagerly waiting for Zixue's response

I said: "What are you talking about? Didn't that big mouth of Fengyun tell you all already?"

I pulled Zixue towards the entrance of the cafeteria. Just as we arrived at the door, we happened to run into Warren, who was rushing back. I frowned, thinking to myself that this guy was really asking for trouble. Seeing that Zixue and I were about to leave, Warren assumed I was afraid of him and mocked, "Hmph, I thought you were braver than that; turns out you were just putting on a show. So, what is it? Do you want to run away with your tail between your legs? It won't be that easy."

"Teacher, thank you, but I think it is unnecessary now. Actually, the vice dean imposed this confinement for my own good, so please do not blame him." I reiterated to Teacher Zhuang the vice dean's intentions and my efforts during this period. However, I concealed the part about the Frenzied God Technique and the memorization, as the Frenzied God Technique is not suitable for everyone, and I also have my own selfish motives.

A cold snort came from outside the door, startling me and causing my expression to change instantly. The mere sound was enough to unsettle my mind; this person's skill was indeed unfathomable, no wonder Warren was so arrogant.

I glanced at Jin Lili, who was so angry that she couldn't speak, and said, "Alright, take care of yourself. I'll head back first. Let's have lunch together tomorrow." After saying this, I gently placed a light kiss on her small face and turned to leave the cafeteria. I really enjoy the feeling of kissing her; her delicate, tender skin is so enchanting. Behind me were Zixue, with a flushed face, and the pouting Jin Lili. I really enjoy the feeling of kissing her; her delicate, tender skin is so enchanting. Behind me were Zixue, with a flushed face, and the pouting Jin Lili.

Fengyun curiously asked, "Quickly tell me, why have these three months been important to you?"

I asked: "Is it a competition for everyone together"

As I was indulging in this tender meal, a familiar voice interjected, "What a scene of sweet affection, I could almost be sick of it." Without needing to look, I already knew it was that rascal Fengyun. He approached me with a plate in hand

After a long while, I gently patted her little face and softly called out, "Zixue, Zixue, wake up." It was only after several calls that she opened her hazy eyes and, in confusion, asked, "What is it?"

I was taken aback, not expecting Zixue to express her feelings so directly. Strong emotions surged in my eyes as I grasped Zixue's small hand and said with deep affection: "No, you must not say that; you are the greatest blessing that heaven has bestowed upon me."

I gently pinched her cute little nose and said with a smile, "You little sleepyhead, we have already arrived at the academy. If you don't go back soon, there will be no dinner for you."

As they approached the cafeteria, Zixue urged, "Let go of me quickly; it would be inappropriate for others to see. Moreover, the academy does not permit dating between boys and girls."

Riva said naturally: "I heard from Brother Warren that someone has been disrespectful to the young lady, so I came to take a look and to punish this arrogant individual"

I am enough, look how strong I am, you should eat more, you are too thin

I lay on my back in bed, staring at the ceiling. I realized that I have started to enjoy life in the realm of humans. The things I cannot let go of are increasing, and if this continues, I might truly become unable to extricate myself. However, I have already promised Zixue that I would take her with me wherever I go, and I cannot go back on my word, nor do I want to. I suppose I have completed my task now, shouldn't I return to the orc kingdom? It is a very appealing thought. But I immediately dismissed it; what is there to go back to? There isn't even a single person I can talk to. It is filled with vendettas, robberies, and struggles. Just thinking about it chills my heart. It is much more comfortable here. I have already completed my task, right? Shouldn't I return to the orc kingdom now? It is a very appealing thought. But I immediately dismissed it; what is there to go back to? There isn't even a single person I can talk to. It is filled with vendettas, robberies, and struggles. Just thinking about it chills my heart. It is much more comfortable here. Didn't my father give me 5 to 10 years? Fine, I will stay here for ten years, and then return to the orc kingdom. Perhaps if my father and the others knew I was doing this, they would say I am unpatriotic, but I do not think so. What country do I have to love? To be honest, I also have one-quarter human blood.

What country do I have to love? To be honest, I also have one-quarter human blood.

Zixue obediently nodded and said, "Hurry and eat, or it will get cold."

When Riva was leaving, he gave me a meaningful glance and softly said, "I hope you can hold on until you meet me at the academy's martial arts competition." Warren then shot me a fierce glare

"What, Liwa? He is the chief warrior of the academy and also the leader of the Tianlong Group. His family's inherited Dragon Subduing Qi is exceptionally powerful, and his father holds significant power in the court. How could you have offended him? He is not like other nobles; he has a good upbringing and generally does not provoke others easily. What exactly is going on?"

Riwa and I were both taken aback when someone walked in from outside the cafeteria. It turned out to be the vice dean, who cast a gloomy glance at the people around before finally fixing his gaze on me

I nodded and said, "Yes, teacher"

Mars Road: "Leige, it seems that you have returned this time quite differently than before. It appears that you have truly learned a great deal at the library."

I swiftly climbed up to my upper bunk and lay down

Zixue tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Stop causing trouble; you have just been released from confinement"

"Who is causing trouble in the cafeteria again?" A deep voice came through
