He rubbed his chin and said with interest, “The last time I heard about the Tong family, I thought One Man’s Rule was standing up for you. I thought the two of you were in cahoots or perhaps One Man’s Rule was yours. Then I concluded that it was unlikely.”
He leaned lazily back in his chair. “In that case, One Man’s Rule isn’t purely helping you.”
“I don’t even know anyone who has a say.” Sheng Yang changed the subject. “Let me ask you about someone.”
Lan Ran immediately became more energetic because of Sheng Yang’s cold and indifferent personality. “Long Xian.”
“Huh? Him?”
“Yes.” Sheng Yang closed her eyes. She was a little concerned. She felt that there was something strange about that person. The last time they had parted at the entrance of the academy, she hadn’t thought much of it. Now that she thought about it, his gaze was a little strange.
“Are you sure he’s one of the Four Gods?” Sheng Yang suddenly asked.
This question stunned Lan Ran.
It was because the Four Gods had never seen each other’s true faces.
However, no one was bold enough to impersonate the Four Gods. There had never been such a precedent before.
Therefore, he naturally assumed that Long Xian was one of the Four Gods. Moreover, it was normal for there to be strange people among the Four Gods.
“Why don’t I arrange a meeting between the Four Gods and find out?”
“That won’t be necessary.” Sheng Yang was just a little curious about this person, but she didn’t like to think about people. It was too complicated. She couldn’t explain all the permutations.
“Mhm,” Lan Ran said softly, but he had his own plans.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. It was Lan Yu. He was shocked to see Teacher Sheng, the person he had been ‘longing’ for, at his house.
Lan Ran did not expect his brother to come back early today. Their eyes met, and for a moment, he could not explain himself.
Lan Yu was extremely confused. Teacher Sheng had not told him that she was coming.
“Miss Sheng… did you specially come to see me?” Lan Yu immediately stumbled. The young man’s face was still unnaturally red. He scratched his head as he spoke, feeling flattered.
Sheng Yang closed her eyes and decided not to say anything. She really wasn’t good at lying.
Seeing that Miss Sheng had agreed, Lan Yu said in a friendly manner, “Hey, Miss Sheng, why didn’t you say so earlier? Otherwise, I would have come early and you wouldn’t have to chat with my brother for so long.”
With that, Lan Yu was overjoyed and quickly went into the house to get his report card.
He wanted to tell Miss Sheng that after she left Lanca Academy, he continued to work hard and did not slack off.
Seeing him go in, Sheng Yang lowered her voice. “How long are you going to pretend?”
Lan Ran glanced at her calmly. “Aren’t you also very enthusiastic about hiding your identity?”
Sheng Yang fell silent, speechless.
Those five had said the same thing about her.
Actually, she was just used to it and didn’t think it was necessary.
Sheng Yang stayed in the Lan family’s house for a while. She was used to doing whatever she wanted in the past. Being a teacher this time was a rare experience in her life. Although it was a little difficult to help others learn, the feeling at the end of it wasn’t bad.
Previously, no one was optimistic about Lan Yu. Who would have thought that he would become a good talent who might be able to enter the research institute?
When Sheng Yang was busy, so was Yi Juncheng.
Zhou Feiyang had never seen Yi Juncheng before. He would just give her instructions through the phone, text messages, and the Internet.
