Chapter 1 A Moment of Silence

*Shua!*

Instantly, the entire place fell silent.

Yang Xiangdi and the others widened their eyes, completely dumbfounded.

They were stunned. What kind of performance was this?

Is anyone there? What are the consequences of verbally abusing the NPC responsible for opening the dungeon in the Inner World? Urgent, waiting online!

"Yu-ge, are you okay?" Yang Xiangdi asked in horror.

"I'm fine. I ate Liuliumei."

After scolding Irene, Qiao Yu instantly felt refreshed, and the unhappiness from before was swept away.

He turned his head to look at Yang Xiangdi and the others, who were still dumbfounded and horrified.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm a man overflowing with fatherly love. When I see Irene, I feel as close to her as I would to my own daughter, so it's reasonable for me to say I'm her dad, right?" Qiao Yu explained.

Yang Xiangdi: ......

Fang Yuan, Fang Xun, Long Chang: ......

Do you even hear yourself?

"Alright, alright, since there's nothing else, let's hurry up and leave," Qiao Yu urged.

He didn't know why, but looking at Irene's ambiguous expression, he felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if the other person wasn't an Inner World NPC, but a real, living person.

"Wait, classmate Qiao Yu!"

Fang Yuan walked over to Qiao Yu, bent her delicate body ninety degrees, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for saving us, and thank you for leading us through the exclusive dungeon!"

Gratitude was also written all over Fang Xun and Long Chang's faces. They were very clear that if it hadn't been for Qiao Yu, they wouldn't have been able to clear the Myriad Poison Cave this time.

"It's nothing, no need to thank me. The famous Spider-Man once said, 'With great power comes great irresponsibility'," Qiao Yu said.

"Huh?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment. She had never heard that quote before.

However, Fang Yuan didn't forget her purpose. She asked Qiao Yu,

"Classmate Qiao Yu, which university are you planning to apply to for the national college entrance exam?"

"Kyoto University. I was recommended."

"Kyoto University..."

A hint of gloom appeared on Fang Yuan's face. Even though she had cleared the exclusive dungeon, with her aptitude, it would still be difficult for her to get into Kyoto University.

Should she give up?

No, I won't!

A stubbornness surged in the girl's heart. She didn't understand what was happening to her, but the thought of not seeing Qiao Yu in the future made her feel inexplicably irritable.

"Classmate Qiao Yu! Wait for me! I will definitely go to Kyoto University to find you!" Fang Yuan mustered her courage and shouted loudly before immediately leaving the Inner World.

At this moment, Zuo You, who was in the real world, suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, the weather isn't cold, so why did I suddenly sneeze?"

Zuo You's face was full of confusion. She had just returned from clearing the exclusive dungeon for the Tank class and was about to go find out if Qiao Yu and the others had returned.

In the Inner World, Qiao Yu looked at Yang Xiangdi with a dumbfounded expression.

"What did she just say? She's coming to find me? What does she want?"

"I don't know, could it be..."

Yang Xiangdi pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh.

"I get it! Yu-ge, be careful, this woman definitely wants to cut out your kidney! And without anesthesia!"

"I see!"

Qiao Yu instantly felt that it made sense.

"I knew that woman didn't look like a good person! Xiangdi, good brother, thanks for reminding me!"

"You're welcome. Who told you to be my Yu-ge!"

Yang Xiangdi was complacent. His little brain was just too useful.

"Let's go, Yu-ge, let's go back and eat something. I don't feel safe without fat on my body."

"Alright!"

The two figures appeared in the real world. For some reason, Qiao Yu suddenly felt a chill starting from his tailbone and rushing all the way to the top of his head.

At this moment, a large hand wrapped around Qiao Yu's shoulder.

"Not bad, Qiao Yu, you dared to skip class and sneak into the Inner World without saying a word. Your wings have gotten hard, huh! You made us worry about you here." Xue Jinlong said with a smile.

"Um... Teacher Xue, let me explain!"

"Wait a minute!" Xue Jinlong waved his hand. "Yang Xiangdi should have gone with you, right? Why didn't he come back? And who is this person you brought back?"

"Teacher Xue, he is Yang Xiangdi!" Qiao Yu said.

Xue Jinlong turned his head and sized up the person next to Qiao Yu.

He saw a tall and sturdy figure with bronze skin and distinct, deep features, like a Greek sculpture. His dark and deep icy eyes showed a wild and unruly, bewitching sexiness.

*Pa!*

Xue Jinlong slapped the back of Qiao Yu's head.

"Qiao Yu, you skipped class and now you want to lie to your teacher? I've been your homeroom teacher for three years, do you think I don't know what Yang Xiangdi looks like?"

"That's right, classmate Qiao Yu, please tell us, where did classmate Yang Xiangdi go?"

Shi Mei, who was next to him, looked anxious. As Yang Xiangdi's new homeroom teacher, she didn't know Yang Xiangdi well yet, but she knew that Yang Xiangdi was a big fatty.

Qiao Yu wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only cast a pleading look at Yang Xiangdi.

"Teacher, it's really me! I successfully lost weight in the Inner World!" Yang Xiangdi said.

"Is that so? Then how can you prove it?" Xue Jinlong's face was full of disbelief. He had never heard of anyone losing weight in the Inner World.

"Teacher, don't you remember? When I was in the first year of high school, I went to the teacher's dormitory to find you, and you were reading a novel there, reading Bai Jie... um, um, um!"

Before Yang Xiangdi could finish speaking, Xue Jinlong covered his mouth.

"Okay, shut up! I know you're Yang Xiangdi!" Xue Jinlong's face turned red.

"Teacher Xue, who is Bai Jie?" A trace of doubt appeared on Shi Mei's delicate face.

"Um... this, this is a distant older cousin of mine! Yang Xiangdi knows her too, if you don't believe me, ask him."

Xue Jinlong desperately winked at Yang Xiangdi.

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Xue's distant cousin is called Bai Jie, and she used to visit Teacher Xue," Yang Xiangdi said cooperatively.

Seeing Shi Mei nod with some suspicion, Xue Jinlong breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close! Almost ruined his upright gentleman image.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinlong looked at Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi angrily.

"Still trying to justify yourselves! Why did you go to clear the exclusive dungeon without saying a word! If you had told me in advance, would I have stopped you?"

Xue Jinlong's anger wasn't because Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi went to clear the dungeon, but because they disappeared without saying a word. Principal Hong had scolded him badly these past few days.

He said that if Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi didn't come back, he would make Xue Jinlong disappear with them.

As soon as Xue Jinlong finished speaking, Yang Xiangdi instantly distanced himself from Qiao Yu.

"Teacher Xue, it was all Qiao Yu who instigated me to go! I argued with him and tried to persuade him to come back, but he just wouldn't listen! He even said that he was determined to clear this exclusive dungeon today! And he wouldn't let me come back!"

"Teacher Xue, please investigate! I've been worried and scared in the Inner World these past few days, and all the fat on my body has disappeared, this is all evidence!"

Yang Xiangdi was tearful, as if he had really suffered a great injustice, moving everyone.

Only Qiao Yu on the side had black lines all over his head.

I have a "fuck your mother" that I don't know if I should say or not?

Forget it, I won't say it. Yang Xiangdi's mistakes should be borne by himself, his mother is innocent.
