Yuan Chunhua was the original Jiang Ming homeroom instructor back in the academy.
She was extremely tall with dazzling snow-white legs clad in a uniformed outfit. Her long colorful blue hair was able to propel her glamorous look further.
However, the most noticeable thing about her was the two pairs of glasses on her eyes that practically scream education.
Since the original Jiang Ming was absolute trash and garbage, he had given much of a headache toward Yuan Chunhua.
After all, her reputation as an instructor in the academy was well-known, yet Jiang Ming sole's existence was like dirt and smear to her reputation.
To save her reputation as a great instructor, she had spent numerous times lecturing Jiang Ming- to the point that Jiang Ming became frightened by her appearance.
"Jiang Ming, I'm talking to you. Can you not hear me?" Yuan Chunhua shouted again when Jiang Ming was lost in his thoughts.
'Ugh, I just finished recollecting the memories of you and you are really a pain in the ass instructor type…' Jiang Ming thought.
"I-Instructor Yuan Chunhua, what brings you to my new house?" Jiang Ming asked stutteringly.
How did she even find his new house in the first place?
The academy wasn't even located near the Central Zone and the instructors usually didn't bother to investigate other students' activities outside of the academy.
"Hmph, if I hadn't asked for some information from other people, I wouldn't even know our little Jiang Ming managed to make a fame for himself."
"F-Fame? Instructor Yuan Chunhua must be jestering. What can someone at my age obtain?"
"Oh let me count it then, being able to gain permission to enter the Central District. Owning a popular Moon Bazaar in addition with the Emperor and Princess attending alongside a reputed alchemist. Now tell me, which one of these isn't impressive?"
Yuan Chunhua's aura slowly rises up, creating a restricted atmosphere around them.
It was clear that she wasn't amused by Jiang Ming's words one bit.
The pair of glasses on her was like a hammer, striking every part of Jiang Ming's body.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, why don't we come inside and allow me to serve you some tea. It must have been a long journey to come here, right?" Jiang Ming tried to invite her inside.
Although he wasn't afraid of her, he was afraid of her accidentally provoking another person- Qi Shan.
Yuan Chunhua was exactly the type of target that Qi Shan loved and wished to toy with daily.
To avoid any complications, Jiang Ming could only endure the haughty Yuan Chunhua's attitude and behavior.
She was after all the original Jiang Ming's instructor and one that really wanted him to succeed.
It was just a shame that the original Jiang Ming could not meet her expectations and fell short of someone's scheme.
'Shaoxing Ming, it seems like your days are numbered. If even Yuan Chunhua is appearing, then I can't wait to trample you.'
Sometime later, Jiang Ming brought Yuan Chunhua to their living room where he quickly brewed some jasmine tea for her.
"Anyway, Instructor Yuan Chunhua must have something important to personally visit at my house, right?" Jiang Ming asked once she had subsided her aura.
Yuan Chunhua nodded her head.
"The annual examination is about to begin, and this time, if you fail the examination again, you will be expelled from the academy." Yuan Chunhua said solemnly.
Despite her grave tone of speech, Jiang Ming held a nonchalant expression as he calmly sipped on some jasmine tea, almost like the examination didn't pressure him at all.
"Aren't you going to beg me for tips like the previous time?" Yuan Chunhua raised an eyebrow.
And she continued, "I'm sure you understand the academy's policy more than me. If you fail the examination consecutively, your cultivation base will be shattered by the academy."
This was the punishment for students who had used the resources of the academy and failed to produce any result or talent.
An academy wasn't a charity organization.
Instead, it was a competitive place where only the strong will receive immense reward while the weak will endure humiliation and punishment.
Time slowly passed by, and Jiang Ming stopped drinking his tea because Yuan Chunhua had been staring intensely at him.
He was hoping his no response was good enough to reply to Yuan Chunhua.
Alas, not everything can go your way when it comes to life.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, are you worried about me failing the examination again and causing your reputation to drop to rock bottom?" Jiang Ming asked.
However, Jiang Ming's question was instantly met with backlash as Yuan Chunhua slammed on the table.
The table couldn't handle the sheer prowess of her palm and was directly shattered into pieces.
The jasmine tea that Jiang Ming had brewed was wasted in an instant.
Meanwhile, Yuan Chunhua wasn't done with her rage as she held a fierce glare at Jiang Ming.
"What do you take me for, Jiang Ming? I admit that I care about my reputation, but I still care about the students that I personally lecture." Yuan Chunhua shouted angrily.
She was extremely offended by Jiang Ming that he would think she only paid him a visit to try and save her reputation.
If reputation was really that important in her mind, then she would have long expelled Jiang Ming and saved her the extra troubles.
Jiang Ming wasn't from an influential and powerful clan, so she doesn't even need to fear any consequences.
Jiang Ming also realized his mistake in his question.
He stood up and bowed down slightly toward Yuan Chunhua.
"Apologies Instructor Yuan Chunhua, I didn't mean to question your conduct and reasoning." Jiang Ming gave his sincere apology.
One can only be counted as a man if he was willing to admit their own mistake.
In this aspect, Jiang Ming had misunderstood her intention and felt deeply guilty of accusing someone without evidence.
Yuan Chunhua managed to calm down after his sincere apologies.
"It's fine. It was also partially my fault for not being able to express myself clearer. I've only come today because I had heard rumors of people gathering together to target you specifically."
