Forsaken Immortals

Bai Rouyun was not very attentive during class as she already knew the knowledge points being taught, but she did not show that she was bored, nor did she attempt to distract others from following the lecture.

Her gaze was focused outside the window as she admired the sunlight that shone through the fresh green leaves.

​​

She was not paying attention to the lecture, but instead, she allowed her body to sense the heaven and earth essence that surrounded her and instinctively refined it into Qi.

Her body was relaxed, and she felt how her mind was free of worries, and her mood was uplifted. Her lips were curled into a sweet smile and the happiness within her was bubbling.

She was aware that her rebirth had changed many things, but on a day like this, where she could look out the window, and truly enjoy the good weather and the magic of nature, she found that she no longer had to rush around and fear for her life.

The peaceful and calm life she lived now was already a great gift, but she also found that the more she got, the more greedy she became.

Although things were already so good for her, she could not help but wish for more. To make her life perfect, she had to once again find her husband and reunite with him.

Only she herself knew how much she missed him.

However, Bai Rouyun was not an ordinary person. Although she missed her husband, she was not going to lose herself in depression or longing, instead she channeled her emotions into motivation, and strove towards the highest peaks.

Although she had been looking outside the window, her eyes had not been focused on anything specific. Her thoughts were floating and her mind kept wandering, but suddenly the vacant light in her eyes became intense, and a fighting spirit erupted from her body.

The whole classroom sensed a strange change in the surrounding atmosphere, but while the majority of the students were unaware of the origin of this strange sensation that gave them chills down their spines, the teacher, Dongfang Yu, and Jiang Wei all focused their eyes on Bai Rouyun.

Previously, Bai Rouyun had been deep in thought. Her expression had been emotionless and her eyes dim, without any focus. Now, a smile adorned her lips, and the eyes were shining bright like a thousand stars.

The energy within her body was infectious, and even the teacher, who had already developed a strange feeling of jealousy towards her, felt his body shudder in a response to the strong emotion radiating from the woman in the audience.

Even so, the teacher forcefully suppressed the emotions that had threatened to overflow, and while his face was stiff, he forced his sight away from her, and towards the other students.

While a few noticed the sudden staggering behavior that clearly seemed like an attempt at avoidance, no one mentioned it, and they remained focused on the lecture.

Jiang Wei smirked as he noticed the teacher's behavior and could not help but shake his head in amusement.

How could such a selfish and petty person become a teacher?

Although the Wushi Continent had fierce competition, the profession of a teacher and mentor were fiercely sought after. Even an enemy would be somewhat respectful towards an expert with the identity of a teacher.

To see a person who could not appreciate the more talented students, and who would even become jealous of their opportunities, was not suitable to teach Bai Rouyun.

The reason that Jiang Wei did not bother about the others was because he truly did not care about anyone else within the class. Even Dongfang Yu, who everyone knew was Bai Rouyun's subordinate, was not considered as a person to care about in his world.

"Miss Bai, I understand that you find these lectures pedantic with your current background, but you have to understand that you can not always depend on your husband and his subordinates to follow behind and save you from disasters."

The teacher suddenly spoke out with an awe inspiring voice, surprising not only Bai Rouyun, but also all others within the classroom.

The reactions were different from expert to expert, and while some were gloating and others jealous, there were also a few who were watching the drama with interest.

Among these were Dongfang Yu. He was indeed her follower, but he did not wish to become a brainless dog who would jump and bite at others without any form of thoughts.

He understood very well that Bai Rouyun was not one to be easily overturned, so instead of rushing to defend the young woman, he just leaned back against the back of his chair and crossed his arms while intently watching the teacher who was about to get scolded by his own student.

The more intelligent students within the class noticed Dongfang Yu's behavior and all of them felt as if they had gotten an epiphany. While a few expected that the young man had left her alone, the more intelligent ones instantly understood that he was protecting her.

No one was stupid enough to cause problems with their teacher, but at the same time, they also wished to defend Bai Rouyun.

However, while they were nervous, all of them were unwilling to offend the professor for a mere student.

"Teacher, I feel that you are being very partial. You have yet to see me fight or survive on my own, yet you made suppositions on my behalf without knowing about my abilities."

Bai Rouyun smiled slightly, seemingly full of regret. Then she lowered her head, seemingly ignoring the teacher once more.
