High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 501: Chapter 170 Zheng Qing’s Problem_1

Thankfully, Su Shijun was standing on the podium behind the little fox lady.

To maintain her lady’s image, Su Ya didn’t make any more scene in front of the public.

This genuinely reassured the young state-sponsored student—only for him to hold his breath again.

Because standing on the podium was the most beautiful woman in the Wizard World, smiling at him.

”I’m pleased to meet you, hero of Great Ming Pavilion.” Su Shijun’s lips curled into a slight smile, her tone casual and relaxed, ”So... what kind of question do you intend to ask?”

Zheng Qing froze, swallowing the half-breath he’d been holding.

He then slowly took a deep breath, subtly prodding Xiao Xiao twice with his brush. In such a critical moment, he could only rely on Doctor Xiao.

Indeed, when Tang Dun was conducting a survey not long ago, Zheng Qing did fill in a few questions— such as the name of Su Shijun’s child, or his wish to explore the depths of Silent Forest with Su Shijun, and so on.

But after the previous round of Q&A, these questions had mostly been answered.

If he continued to ask trivial questions like ’What is the name of your child?’ or ’What is the meaning of your child’s name?’, he might face the same treatment as Xin Fat Man even before the class ended, or even worse.

After all, people always have the highest expectations for the last chance.

And the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Thinking of this, the young state-sponsored student shuddered, quickly giving up his unnecessary reservation, looking around for more and clearer hints.

It seemed like everyone in the classroom was willing to help him for free.

”Ask how that man pursued our Su Su?!” A female witch sitting in the back row of the classroom shouted out the sentiments of all the male wizards.

This question piqued Zheng Qing’s interest.

”How can I join Su Su’s hunting team?!” Another male wizard seemed to consider a strategic detour, even if he couldn’t pursue the beautiful senior witch, he thought it would be nice to join her hunting team and see her smile often.

Besides, a heartwarming male wizard suggested Zheng Qing ask what the most significant annoyance of Ms. Su is—if possible, many people would be willing to help her solve those problems.

The above questions were relatively normal.

However, some other questions passed through paper frogs and paper cranes were somewhat thrilling.

For instance, someone wanted to know ’Would you mind if we get rid of that wild man?’; someone else wanted to know ’Has the little fox lady by the lectern come of age?’; and someone demanded, ’Could we borrow some finer hair from the tail?’. Zheng Qing instantly discarded these questions.

It’s not that he was a coward, but he wasn’t ready to die yet.

The variety of questions dazzled Zheng Qing, leaving him unable to keep up.

”Ask his name!” Finally freed from Jiang Yu’s restraint, Li Meng turned around, her teeth clenched as she glared at the young state-sponsored student, urgently whispering: ”Ask for the name of that man! The question Tang Dun asked before... you know what I mean, right?!”

Zheng Qing hesitated, then nodded.

Despite the little witch’s muddled speech, it didn’t hinder him from understanding her request.

”Ridiculous!” Xin Fat Man somehow managed to escape from the pile of suppression symbols—however, as most classmates were eagerly suggesting their questions to Zheng Qing, no one wanted to waste talismans suppressing this fat man.

”You absolutely can’t ask that question!” Xin Fat Man solemnly warned: ”Brother Qing, I’m not trying to scare you... if Su Councilor was willing to answer that question, she would’ve told us when Tang Dun asked the first time... I can find a hundred reasons to evade this kind of question, let alone a senior witch?!”

”Indeed.” Xiao Xiao chimed in, agreeing: ”The fat man is rarely smart... just as he said, asking a question should also consider whether the other party is willing to answer... tact is necessary. You can’t just bluntly ask whatever you want to know.”

”So do you guys have any other suggestions?” Li Meng pouted, glaring resentfully at the two male wizards.

Xiao Xiao and Xin Fat Man immediately closed their mouths.

Zheng Qing rubbed his throbbing forehead.

”Have you thought of what to ask? Hurry up! Our lady’s time is very precious!” Beside the podium, Su Ya was again yelling.

Apparently, she was more than willing to complicate things for Zheng Qing in this insignificant matter.

Zheng Qing glanced at the little fox lady, suddenly recalling the seeds he planted in their dormitory a few days ago—he once speculated that these seeds might’ve dropped from Su Ya—thus, he immediately thought of a question.

”Excuse me!”

The young state-sponsored student cleared his throat, looking towards the podium.

The slight commotion in the classroom immediately subsided. The classmates looked curiously at Zheng Qing, wondering what question he would ask.

”I would like to ask Councilor Su...between Duke Milton and Prince William, who do you prefer?”

Duke Milton was Matthew Karen, the youngest son of the legendary patriarch of the Karen family, John Hugh Karen, and quite the figure among the new generation of the Blood Race. Prince William, on the other hand, was an outstanding figure in the Rhein Werewolf King’s court, rumored to have one foot in the realm of the senior witch.

Both of these men, nobles among the nobility of Under the Moon, had openly expressed their admiration for Su Shijun more than once, but she had never directly responded to their pursuits.

Indeed, this was a good question. Newspapers had discussed and analyzed this issue more than once, but they never provided a completely convincing answer.

On this subject, who could be more authoritative than Su Shijun herself?

Especially this sort of closed question, which makes it easier to discern Su Daxu’s specific preference from the answer.

Everyone was rather satisfied with Zheng Qing’s question.

Thus, after hearing Zheng Qing’s question, the classroom became utterly silent.

Matthew Karen, in particular, sat stiffly as the question involved his blood relative. The previously dignified young vampire’s posture had become even more formal, and his expression had turned extremely solemn.

Su Shijun knitted her brows slightly, her face revealing a hint of distress—this inadvertent motion nearly led to Zheng Qing getting beaten up. Fanatical fans didn’t care about the cause and effect of the situation; all they cared about was that their beloved was unhappy!

Luckily, Su Shijun’s eyebrows didn’t knit for long.

Just a few seconds later, her forehead smoothed out, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

This smile gave Zheng Qing a dreadful feeling at the bottom of his heart.

”As far as I’m concerned, both of them are too old. I don’t like either of them...comparatively, I admire young and promising men like you more.” After answering the question unhurriedly, the beautiful Su put on her glasses, took Su Ya’s hand, and strode away.

She completely ignored the explosive classroom behind her.

And the young wizard who was severely affected by the explosion.
