The Female Teacher Who Fights Back

Chapter 21 Money Makes the Devil Turn the Mill 3

In the entire Liuyun Street, only two people knew Wu Lang’s origins. It wasn’t that Wu Lang had told Sister Qing herself, but rather that Sister Qing had deduced it relying on her unique intelligence network and her miraculous sixth sense. After all, including Sister Qing, only a few people on Liuyun Street—no, in the whole world—had the privilege of witnessing Wu Lang going “all out.” That kind of destructive power was simply a nightmare for humanity…

“What exactly is the item?” Even though it involved her father, Wu Lang’s tone was as flat as a routine business matter, devoid of even a ripple of emotion. Perhaps to her emotionless self, her father was merely the provider of half her DNA, plus a part of her childhood memories—nothing more.

“As for further information, I’m afraid I have nothing to tell.”

“I thought you were omniscient, Sister Qing.”

“Langlang, reverse psychology won’t work on me, you know.” Sister Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, her lips curving into a pleasing arc. For a woman to navigate this lawless gray zone as smoothly as a fish in water, she naturally had her own extraordinary abilities.

Suddenly, the alley outside grew clamorous. Sister Qing slowly stood up, walked to the window, lifted the thick, dark curtain, and looked outside through the gap. She clicked her tongue in displeasure. “Them again!”

“Again?”

“It’s those scumbags from Green Snake coming to grab territory.” Taking a puff from her pipe, Sister Qing continued to complain: “This Green Snake was originally just a small, insignificant gang in the south. Who knew that a student who could fight fiercely showed up recently, single-handedly taking down several sizable gangs.”

“A student?” Having lived in Liuyun Street for many years, Wu Lang knew the situation here inside out, yet she had never heard of such a figure.

“It’s that red-haired kid over there. Looking at his uniform, he should be a student from Sheng Tian Academy, where you’re about to take up your post.” Sister Qing pulled the curtain open a bit further so Wu Lang could get a clear view.

Although night had fallen, relying on her extraordinary dynamic vision, Wu Lang still spotted that eye-catching, wine-red short hair amidst the chaos. Wrapped in a blue-black uniform, his arms unleashed a furious, wave-like offensive. His clean and decisive punches and kicks lacked any discernible form or discipline, and paired with his spiked hair and fierce, menacing expression, he looked just like a raging lion…

“Not bad.” After observing for a long time, Wu Lang offered a relatively objective evaluation. In terms of sheer physical fitness alone, the other party could almost rival her—a ‘superhuman’ who had undergone genetic modification and integration during the embryonic stage. Unfortunately, he relied too much on his instincts and reflexes; if he encountered a martial arts expert like Ou Wenji, he would likely suffer a setback.

“Indeed, that level of skill is rare even in Liuyun Street. But by the same token, as long as he’s taken care of, Green Snake will collapse on its own—or even be counter-attacked by the gangs he previously offended until not even ashes remain.” The exhaled smoke created a thin mist on the glass window. As if realizing something, Sister Qing asked with a smile: “Langlang, why don’t you go out and help?”

“Why should I?”

“After all, that red-haired kid is from Sheng Tian Academy and might even be a student under your name. If anything happens to him, wouldn’t you be unable to shirk responsibility?”

To this, Wu Lang responded as follows: “First, it’s currently after school hours, and all off-campus activities of students have nothing to do with the school; second, I only officially start work tomorrow.”
