C17 Falling Again

The scorching sun was like fire, and there was not even a trace of wind. The chirping of cicadas could be heard.

Ye Yun walked out of the study with a pained face and muttered, "Too stingy. I would never have come here if not for you being a beauty!" Every day, it's food that calls me over, but I don't care about food. Even when I'm hungry, I still have to muster up my energy to teach painting.

In the last hour and a half, he had pretended to ask the beautiful lady overseer several times whether she was hungry, but the other party's answer would always be, "I'm not hungry, don't interrupt. Say what you just said again, I didn't fully understand it."

Although he could fill his stomach even if he went to the restaurant now, he had missed a bit of food. The good food had long since been eaten, and there was nothing left to choose from.

"Halt!" With an explosive shout, Li Pengze jumped out from his slant and glared at Yun Yang, saying, "Ye Yun, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He was surprised for a moment, "What are you waiting for me for? Are we very familiar with each other?"

"Hmm, I'm only familiar with you. I'm here to take care of you!" Li Pengze said fiercely.

Ye Yun said with a frown, "If I'm not wrong, you should be standing up for a certain girl, right?"

"How do you know?" Li Peng Ze asked doubtfully.

He pointed to the side of her face and said, "You have a woman's lip print over there. Some girl must have sacrificed herself for me, right? It's not hard to tell from the rouge on the lips that it's definitely top-quality, ordinary girls can't afford it at all. Most of the girls in our class have plain faces, only Chen Guhe likes to use this sort of rouge, she asked you to come, right? "

The barrage of questions stunned Li Peng Ze.

Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Ye Yun knew that he had guessed right. Actually, such a judgment was not difficult at all. Amongst all the students, only Chen Guhe and Li Pengze were against him. The only possibility was that Chen Guohe thought he had been robbed of his limelight. Due to his inconvenient status as a princess, he had to find Li Pengze, who had always colluded with him, to step in.

"So what if I am!" Li Pengze gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you guessed right, I won't let you off so easily."

As he spoke, he had already raised his fist.

Ye Yun said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I advise you not to do anything foolish. This is the capital academy, and private duels are meant to expel students. I'm not afraid to wear shoes with my bare feet. At worst, I'll just die trying."

He believed that he had the ability to beat up Ye Yun, but his results would definitely be terrible as well. At that time, even Chen Guohe would be dragged into it, and with Dongfang Pingtai's personality that did not recognize any of his relatives, he would definitely dare to expel both of them from school.

At that time, Chen Guhe would definitely blame him for his incompetence and leave a bad impression of him. If he still wanted to chase after her, it would be difficult.

Ye Yun could see the uncertainty on the man's face and knew that he had the upper hand. He snorted, "Good dogs don't block the way!"

"Ye, I'm warning you, in the future, you are not allowed to show off in class, and even more so, you are not allowed to steal away the limelight from me and the princess. Otherwise, I will definitely not forgive you.

"Humph!" Ye Yun left in a swagger.

Only after staring at his back for a long time did Li Peng Ze finally loosen his clenched fists. Although not being able to beat him up was not perfect, but at least he had completed the mission. The threat he posed just now was heavy enough to go back and report.

The afternoon was the day of self-study, and Ye Yun was still the last to arrive at the classroom.

Chen Guhe's arrogance was much more arrogant than usual. He could imagine that it must be because of Li Peng Ze's lies that made her think that she was afraid of her, and that she would never dare to oppose him again.

He glanced at Li Pengze out of the corner of his eye. The man's face was full of satisfaction, but there was a trace of unease on it, confirming Ye Yun's thoughts.

The bell for class rang. To the students' surprise, Yi Xue and Qiu Yuanlong, the two overseers, walked in together. Didn't they say they were here for self-study? What were they here for?

The two of them went up to the podium. Yi Xue smiled and said, "Students, the school has started a few days ago, so I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the others. Instructor Qiu and I have decided to hold a temporary meeting to elect our class monitor."

Qiu added: "In order to show fairness, this time we are going to use the method of recommendation and public elections to recommend who gets the most support and who becomes the class monitor. "Let's officially begin. Students, you can recommend the candidates first."

Li Pengze obviously had a good opportunity. He was the first to speak, "I recommend Princess Chen Guhe. She has the highest position in our class, so she should be the class monitor."

The corners of Chen Guohe's mouth curled up involuntarily. However, she immediately realized that other than Li Pengze, no one else responded.

It can be seen from this how poor her popularity was. In order to avoid embarrassment, she pretended to be generous and said, "I am usually too used to wandering freely and cannot be restrained even a little. Being a class monitor is a very troublesome matter and I am afraid it will be very difficult to be competent. But I also want to recommend one person, our class's highest-ranked student, Li Pengze. "

Li Pengze's face brimmed with joy. The fact that the princess was able to recommend him showed that he held a certain position in her heart.

Although everyone disliked Li Pengze's flattery, he was, after all, the most powerful person, so he got a lot of responses from his classmates.

Qiu Yuanlong immediately expressed, "This overseer also thinks that Li Pengze is competent. I support him as the class monitor."

Just as the matter was about to be settled, a voice suddenly rang out, "I recommend Xu Ling to be on the same level as Li Peng Ze. The key is that she is seventeen years old this year."

The one who spoke was none other than Ye Yun.

Regardless of whether he had taken Li Peng Ze's previous threats seriously, since Li Peng Ze had already displayed his malicious intent, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by and watch him become the class monitor. He had to make things difficult for him.

The meaning behind deliberately emphasizing Xu Ling's age was that Li Pengze was one year older than her, but in truth, the level wasn't something that could be taken advantage of. When Xu Ling reached the age of eighteen, she definitely wasn't at the level of the Awakened Soul Realm.

Li Pengze's expression turned ugly. It was Ye Yun who was pitting himself against him at this crucial moment.

The interesting part was that later on, Yi Xue also expressed her opinion. "I think Xu Ling is very suitable. Although she comes from a Humble Class, she cultivates very hard. She can be the leader of the class."

When some of the supporters of Li Pengze heard the beautiful lady overseer's words, they immediately turned to support Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was a little excited. She had always felt that her background was humble, and even if her rank was higher, it would still not be enough to make up for this flaw. She did not expect that Ye Yun and the Eastern Education Overseer would elect her as class monitor, and even obtain the recognition of so many people.

Qiu Yuanlong smiled and said, "Since it's like this, then let's all raise our hands and vote. Let's support Li Peng Ze to raise his hand with me …" Okay, let me count. One, two... Twelve, thirteen, a total of thirteen. "

Twenty-four students plus two overseers, for a total of twenty-six people, that is to say, thirteen votes each in support of the two candidates.

Chen Guhe, of course, stood on Li Pengze's side and said, "Since the votes are equal, then we must use other methods to decide the winner. Otherwise, we can let them compete and the winner becomes the class monitor."

Li Peng Ze immediately responded, "Alright, Student Xu Ling, let's determine who is better in martial arts."

He was one year older than Xu Ling and was born into a rich family. In terms of equipment and experience, he surpassed her by a level, so this was a match without any suspense.

Anxiety appeared on Xu Ling's face. She knew she wasn't a match for him.

"I don't think so." It was Ye Yun again. He said seriously, "We're all schoolmates, fighting and killing each other hurts our feelings. We don't fight in a civil war, it's better to compete in painting."

Spirit Painting Technique was a skill that all martial artists had to master, especially low level martial artists. They had to learn it and confirm that they were not made of the same material before they could give up.

Li Pengze harrumphed, "Good, then let's compare ourselves to painting. Although I'm not very proficient in this art, I'm still a person who has drawn a third grade spirit diagram."

Hearing this, Xu Ling's heart became even more uncertain. The ink and paper used to draw spirit diagrams were all very expensive things. Her family's poverty meant that she didn't have many opportunities to practice and was still lacking in this area.

Ye Yun Yang said to her softly, "Don't worry, I'll be guiding you from the side. Do as I say and you'll definitely win against Li Pengze."

Xu Ling nodded her head. This could be considered blind trust. Ye Yun was an expert at drawing a twelve-rank spirit diagram, he would definitely be able to give him pointers.

Seeing that the students had already reached an agreement, the two overseers had nothing to say. They assumed a fighting stance.

The students were divided into two camps, encouraging those who supported them.

A few minutes later, both of them were drawing at the same time. Ye Yun stood beside Xu Ling, patiently teaching her how to make ink and move the brush. He would also tell her in advance about the mistakes that could happen, warning her to avoid them as much as possible.

On the other side, Chen Guohe said in a mocking tone, "Is learning and selling now useful? Is there any difference between this and chasing a duck onto the shelf? "A teacher might be a good teacher, but a student might not necessarily be a good student. A Humble Class student who can't even hold a brush properly, why must he draw a spirit diagram?"

Li Pengze echoed, "Princess is right, I have won for sure."

But as time passed, the situation gradually changed from a subtle change to a one-sided situation — Xu Ling had the upper hand.

First of all, she didn't have much to worry about. Becoming class monitor didn't have much of an impact on her. If she let go of her worries, she could release them when she started writing.

Secondly, Ye Yun had taught her well and helped her avoid many areas where she could easily make mistakes, so there had not been any major flaws up till now.

On the other hand, Li Peng Ze was able to keep his calm at the beginning. However, after making a small mistake, he was scolded by Chen Guohe beside him. The pressure on his thinking increased, and the number of mistakes he made also increased.

Chen Guhe could have been like Ye Yun, encouraging his comrade to become self-confident, but she was proud and aloof, not allowing anyone to make a single mistake. After a few curses, Li Pengze could not even bring out half of his strength.

Because there were too many mistakes, it was impossible for him to become a spirit diagram. Unless the other party was also unable to draw a spirit diagram, then he would have the chance to win.

After Xu Ling finished her last stroke, Yi Xue took out the testing spirit stone and placed it on top of the stone. The picture gave off an azure-gray glow as she concluded, "Azure-grey, Grade Two spirit diagram."

On the opposite side, Qiu Yuanlong shook his head and said, "There's no need to test for spirit stones. Li Pengze's paintings are not of any quality. Xu Ling won."

Dong Fang Yi Xue solemnly announced, "As the class monitor, no one is allowed to object."

Before the match, he had boasted about how he could draw a third grade spirit diagram, but in the end, it was just a shitty painting. He did not dare to look at the infuriated Chen Guohe, but he glared at Ye Yun with resentment.
