Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin had calculated it all.

According to the protocol, all the award winners would take an oath led by the dean, followed by a ceremonious activity of circling a white jade stone monument—of course, now the monument was smashed by her, so they could only circle the ruins.

It’s said the dean would also distribute Spiritual Pearls as scholarship awards.

The whole process lasts about ten minutes.

Hence, she had to accomplish her task and return within ten minutes.

Time for testing strength and wisdom has arrived.

Qin Xin sprinted towards the dean’s office....

Three minutes later.

She arrived at the office door.

Picked the lock in three seconds—the smart system here was too easy for her.

Once inside, trouble arose.

Unexpectedly, the dean kept a spirit bird, a parrot, in the office.

As soon as she entered, the parrot squawked, ”There’s a thief! There’s a thief!”

Killing a bird to steal documents seemed a bit excessive.

Qin Xin hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to raise her hand, Little Dongju rushed forward: ”Master, let me do it.”

He fed the parrot with the sweetest petals.

The parrot sweetly changed tune immediately, ”Sweet sweet flowers are here, sweet sweet flowers are here!”

Little Dongju was on the verge of tears: ”Good luck, Master!”

Qin Xin held the Spirit Stone Key, tried it on the safe, luckily, the process wasn’t complicated, and successfully opened it.

She looked at the neatly arranged stack of dark-red leather folios in the safe, her heart momentarily tightened.

Here it was, finally reaching the core of the secret.

She didn’t have much time left, so she skimmed through the folios swiftly.

Finally, she found what she was searching for.

On the cover of one folio, the man in the photo looked almost identical to the man in the red robe she had met.

It was him, not just in appearance, but also carrying an aura and feeling of insidiousness.

Qin Xin was just about to open the cover...

＝＝

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes after Qin Xin left.

Jing Zhichen was feeling somewhat anxious.

The ceremony was nearing its end, the dean was about to distribute Spiritual Pearls as awards, but Qin Xin hadn’t returned yet.

Even though he and Qin Xin were last in line, they could only hold out for another minute or two.

However, if Qin Xin doesn’t return within a minute or two, things would become uncontrollable.

The dean would first think of Qin Xin if he discovered someone had tampered with the folios.

He closed his eyes, trying hard to shuffle through dozens, even hundreds of chat topics in his mind, preparing to hold the dean in conversation for a bit when it was his turn to receive the Spiritual Pearl award.

However, this time, the dean didn’t give him the chance.

After shaking his hand, the dean yawned, ”Little Jing’er, no chatting today, let’s catch up in my office another day. Come, come, the next Spiritual Pearl scholarship goes to... Lan. Lan?”

Jing Zhichen’s heart skipped.

Finished.

Exposed now.

But the next moment.

He heard a crisp thank-you beside him: ”Thank you, dean. It’s Lan, not male classmate.”

Dean: ”Hahaha, you get my humor.”

Who else would crack such cold jokes with the dean, if not Qin Xin?

Jing Zhichen could finally let out a sigh of relief.

He exhaled.

She’s back.

Safely back, what a relief.

Once the dean awarded everyone, he jovially announced: ”I don’t like being a leader who gives closing speeches. But today, I’ll say a little bit. You are all here to cultivate abilities, I hope you will not be disappointed.”

He gave Qin Xin a deep glance, smiling warmly.

Then, he turned to the girls in the audience: ”Here’s good news for you, Divine Academy will soon welcome a super handsome new instructor... Look forward to it, children! Study hard, knowledge is yours, and the handsome guy is yours too!”

A cheer erupted from the girls in the audience.

The boys collectively fell silent: ”...”

Can’t they bring a pretty female instructor?

Amidst the warm atmosphere.

Ding Dou rushed over anxiously, grabbed Qin Xin’s sleeve: ”Sister Xin, it’s bad, God Ao and the others... fighting, got beaten up terribly...”

[Master Yun: Goodnight kiss! The super handsome new instructor is one meter away from arriving hey hey.]
