"Enough talk! Let's settle this with a fight!" Yuv Qianer was visibly enraged. Moments before, she had been the picture of cheerfulness, but now her face darkened like storm clouds rolling in.

They say a woman's mood can turn faster than the pages of a book, and Yuv Qianer was the perfect embodiment of that saying.

Upon hearing the news, Yuv Qianer was already irked, and to make matters worse, this guy had the nerve to flirt with her close friend. She was determined to give him a piece of her mind today!

With a forceful "Ha!" Yuv Qianer swiftly drew her soft whip and, with a flourish, lashed it towards Mao Yuntian. "Enough with the nonsense—defend yourself!"

"Third Brother, save me!" In a swift move, Mao Yuntian darted behind Fei Liang, leaving him utterly astonished.

"Their relationship seems quite unusual. This is definitely more complicated than it looks," Fei Liang mused, squinting his eyes thoughtfully.

Yuv Qianer's approach to conflict, quick to resort to force, reminded Fei Liang of Old Zuo. It was clear they were cut from the same cloth. He couldn't help but wonder about Old Zuo's father's temperament.

"Mao Yuntian, if you're brave enough, stop hiding!" Yuv Qianer, fuming, reeled in her whip and pursued him. She had to be careful; otherwise, her whip might accidentally strike Fei Liang.

If only she knew what Fei Liang had been speculating about her and Mao Yuntian, she might have turned her whip on him instead. And one lash wouldn't have been enough to satisfy her.

"Help! Murder!" Mao Yuntian's cries echoed as he bolted for the computer room.

"Face me if you dare!" Yuv Qianer yelled, hot on his heels.

"Why do they have to act like children?" Fei Liang and Lee Shanfeng exchanged glances, shaking their heads with wry smiles before reluctantly following.

"Mao Yuntian, halt! What kind of spectacle is this?" As they neared the computer room, a sharp cry rang out. A female figure emerged—it was none other than Mao Ningyu.

"Hey, sis," Mao Yuntian halted, offering an awkward chuckle.

"Ms. Ningyu," Yuv Qianer also came to a stop, grumbling, "Mao Yuntian's picking on me."

"Injustice! Pure injustice!" Mao Yuntian cried out before Mao Ningyu could even speak. "Sis, it's a total misunderstanding! She's the one trying to assassinate me!"

"What's all this commotion?" Mao Ningyu barked. "Everyone, inside, now!"

With a sigh of relief, Mao Yuntian swiftly ducked into the room.

"Hmph!" Yuv Qianer's cheeks flushed as she stamped her foot, but without a word of protest, she followed suit.

Then, Lee Shanfeng and Fei Liang also entered and chose their seats, only to discover the computer room was bustling and completely full.

Fei Liang couldn't help but marvel at the undeniable allure of beautiful women.

"Hey, Si, what's your sister doing here? Isn't she part of the finance department?" Fei Liang leaned back in his chair and whispered to Mao Yuntian.

"Oh, my sister? She's Professor Liu's teaching assistant. Normally, Professor Liu teaches this computer class, but if he's unavailable, my sister fills in," Mao Yuntian replied, his voice tinged with frustration. "I just wish she'd find a boyfriend and get married already, so I could have some freedom."

"Mao Yuntian, shut your mouth!" Mao Ningyu, who had approached the main computer station without notice, scolded sternly. "If you two don't stop gossiping, I'll throw you both out!"

Despite their efforts to speak softly, their whispers couldn't escape the acute hearing of a Level Earth Expert like Mao Ningyu.

At her warning, Mao Yuntian fell silent, not daring to utter another word, and Fei Liang promptly sealed his lips. Arguing with a Level Earth Expert, particularly a female one, was far from prudent.

"Now, let's extend a warm welcome to our new classmate," Mao Ningyu said, nodding in approval of their silence. "Please welcome Ximen Shuanger!"

A smattering of applause began to build.

"What, Ximen Shuanger?" someone finally caught on.

"Ximen Shuanger? Which one are we talking about?" another inquired.

"Which one else? The goddess herself!"

A buzz of conversation followed, and the applause swelled. As a poised figure with an aura of purity and tranquility appeared at the doorway, the clapping crescendoed into a roar that echoed on and on.

"Wow, what a beauty!"

"That's definitely Ximen Shuanger!"

"Goddess! Goddess!"

Ximen Shuanger's entrance was met with a chorus of admiring cheers.

"Silence!" Mao Ningyu commanded with a fierce tone.

With a sharp "Crack!" her hand struck, and a wooden desk splintered into fragments, wood chips dancing in the air. "If there's any more noise, Mao Yuntian, throw them out!"

A hush fell over the room, as silent as the grave. The students gaped at the destroyed desk. Was it really that flimsy? Or could it be...? The thought made many faces blanch.

Mao Ningyu's dramatic gesture was more than just a call for order; it was a clear signal for some overzealous admirers to step down. As the most sought-after beauty at Heavenly Sea University, she was no stranger to attention. While it was easy to deal with the scions of noble families, the ordinary folks posed a challenge. Hence, Mao Ningyu's decisive approach.

"Understood!" Mao Yuntian, seeing his sister's outburst, blanched and quickly complied.

"Ximen Shuanger, please come in," Mao Ningyu said with a nod.

Acknowledging with a nod, Ximen Shuanger entered and took the empty seat next to Fei Liang, inciting envy for his good fortune.

"Hehe, Mr. Fei, looks like your charm is working wonders," Meier teased in Fei Liang's mind.

"Meier, be quiet!" Fei Liang was at a loss for words.

Meier just giggled in response.

"Hey, isn't Ximen Shuanger supposed to be in the economics department? What's she doing here?" murmured someone, breaking the brief silence.

"How am I supposed to know? But isn't it a problem that Ximen Shuanger has arrived?" another person chimed in, continuing the conversation.

"Ah, heh, this could be my lucky break."

"You think you have a shot with Ximen Shuanger looking like that? In your dreams, buddy."

"Hmph, Mao Yuntian!" Mao Yuntian was about to make his move and chat up Ximen Shuanger when a voice cut through the air, making him jump. He glanced up and, sure enough, it was Mao Ningyu's piercing gaze fixed on him.

"Got it," Mao Yuntian said, his face draining of color as he stood and approached the pair.

"You think you can take us on, kid?"

"Stay put, I can walk on my own!"

With a dismissive "Bang bang," Mao Yuntian hoisted them up and tossed them out of the classroom, one after the other, then calmly reclaimed his seat.

"Okay, class is back in session!" Mao Ningyu declared with satisfaction, having quelled the unruly students once more.

Fei Liang peered outside and caught sight of the two who had been ejected. Shaking his head, he thought to himself, "Those poor kids."
