Upon hearing this, He Xue shrugged slightly. How could she know the answer to this question?
There must be a reason for Hong Xiu’s actions, but how could she possibly guess so much?
“Why think so much? Ye Ling went into the Secret Realm, which might be more dangerous than what we’re facing. Maybe it’s because Teacher Hong acknowledges his strength.”
This was just He Xue’s own speculation. As for the truth, she couldn’t say for sure.
“Hmm? Do you know Ye Ling? Are you talking about the only male student in the Academy, Ye Ling?”
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly chimed in.
He Xue and Sun Ning, who were chatting, were momentarily stunned. They both looked up to see a girl who had casually sat down beside them.
This girl was Yun Yi, who had joined Vermilion Bird Academy with Ye Ling.
She didn’t enter the Common Class but was placed in the Elite Class.
Besides having considerable strength herself, she also had the care of Hong Xiu.
After all, Hong Xiu was also from Skyshine City, and naturally, she took care of Yun Yi, who came from the same city.
Having gone through the grouping and morning training, Yun Yi had come to the cafeteria to eat and happened to overhear someone talking about Ye Ling.
And from what she heard, it seemed like they were in the same group as Ye Ling.
Ye Ling, this walking national treasure, why hadn’t he shown up? Yun Yi was already curious.
Now that she finally had some news, Yun Yi certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
So she directly sat down beside the two, looking very familiar with them.
He Xue and Sun Ning exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Clearly, neither of them knew Yun Yi.
He Xue looked at Yun Yi with some confusion and asked.
“Excuse me, who are you?”
Hearing this, Yun Yi realized she hadn’t introduced herself yet.
After apologizing, she quickly explained.
“Oh! Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. I’m Yun Yi, a new student in the Elite Class, from the same city as Ye Ling.
I heard you mentioning Ye Ling just now, so I came over to ask.”
After hearing this, He Xue and Sun Ning finally understood what was going on.
Then, He Xue recounted the earlier events to Yun Yi.
And what they mentioned was also overheard by a female student eating nearby.
This student liked to post comments on the Academy’s official website and immediately shared the news there.
[Breaking News! The first male student in the history of Vermilion Bird Academy entered the Secret Realm on his first day. Is it because he’s highly skilled and brave, or what?]
In no time, this news was posted on the Academy’s official website.
Students and teachers, already curious about Ye Ling, the only male student at Vermilion Bird Academy, saw the news immediately.
Everyone began a heated discussion.
“Who is his teacher? Why let him go to the Secret Realm alone?”
“The Secret Realm is dangerous. Without a teacher’s accompaniment, he might encounter danger alone.”
“I’m a senior student, and I don’t know which level of the Secret Realm Ye Ling went to. If it’s a high-level Secret Realm, it could be very dangerous!”
“Don’t scare everyone. How could a new student enter a high-level Secret Realm? I think it’s at most a First Rank Secret Realm.”
…
While everyone was discussing this matter, Gao Yu, the teacher in charge of the Vermilion Bird Class, also saw the news.
When she learned that Ye Ling had entered the Secret Realm alone on his first day, she felt utterly unwell.
A dizzying sensation hit her, and if she weren’t sitting, she might not have been able to stand steadily.
Fuming with anger, Gao Yu was truly troubled.
She immediately took out her phone and called Hong Xiu.
Meanwhile, Hong Xiu, who was enjoying her lunch, looked at her phone with some confusion, wondering why Gao Yu was suddenly calling her.
As soon as she answered, a barrage of shouting came through.
“Hey! Hong Xiu! What are you thinking? Why let Ye Ling go to the Secret Realm alone? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to enter alone? Don’t you know…”
After a long tirade, Hong Xiu held the phone far away, looking helpless.
Was this necessary? Calling just to rant without giving her a chance to speak.
After a minute, with Gao Yu showing no sign of stopping, Hong Xiu decisively… hung up.
Yes, she simply ended the call.
But within three seconds, Gao Yu called again.
This time, when she answered, there was finally no shouting.
“Are you done? Can I speak now?”
After answering, Hong Xiu said leisurely.
On the other end, Gao Yu’s voice came through, filled with helplessness.
“Go ahead, I’m listening.”
