Chapter 10

Jonla brought another chair for Tasha to sit on.

"Come on, gossiping among girls is not a big deal." Qi Jiong then said to Lilith, "You can't just rely on intuition, show us some evidence, the more direct, the better!"

Lilith thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is. After Qin Yang disappeared for two years and came back eighteen years ago, he worked as a substitute teacher at The Chishin Academy for two months. The class he taught happened to be right next to the principal's class. At first, they were quite friendly, but after one day's conversation on a small path, they never spoke again. But before leaving, Qin Yang specially went to bid farewell to the principal and gave her a cat spirit he found on his way."

"A cat spirit?" Tesha found it strange.

"Yes, a cat with red fur that Qin Yang found in the north." Lilith made a serious gesture to describe the cat's appearance.

"Can it talk?"

"Of course, and it's quite fluent. It always claims to be some kind of elf royal family, but it's just a fallen royal family at most."

"......" Tesha picked up a pen and drew a cat quickly. She asked, "Like this?"

"Um...it looks a bit similar. Have you seen it before?"

"I have one at home, but it's probably just a lookalike."

"Oh, let's forget about the cat. The conflicts between them were just minor. Before Qin Yang left, he felt that they needed to reconcile, and it seemed reasonable."

"Jiong, what is the conflict exactly? That is also a suspicious point. Besides, right before that, it was Qin Yang's parents' engagement banquet, and both the principal and Qin Yang were present. By the way, I don't think Qin Yang's father should have invited the principal. Who invites someone to show off their love so soon after breaking up with them? And that night, the Fist Demon King and Hisa mysteriously fought, and even when things got heated and they were about to erupt, they didn't show up."

Qi Jiong became excited and sat up straight. If she had witnessed such a scene, she would have been thrilled for days.

"Wow, how exciting, a battle between gods and demons!"

"You're thinking too much. It's not exciting, it's frightening. They could have ended up dead. If they weren't careful, the whole imperial capital would have exploded."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"I fused with the Divine Fire used by Qin Yang's father. Qin Yang didn't leave a trace! He deliberately prevented us from finding him." Lilith's gaze became fierce and wicked as she angrily bit down on the books that Xiaoyao was placing, making a loud cracking sound, and then tore them out page by page.

"Oh, these are old books from the old activity room, they're dirty. Lilith, hurry up and spit them out." Xiaoyao snatched the book from her mouth, held Lilith's cheeks with her fingers, and made her spit out the paper.

"Lie...bro...Oh" Lilith wanted to say something, but couldn't articulate it clearly.

"You better not say it. You guys think too much, suspecting this and suspecting that, like a bunch of resentful women!" Suddenly, Qingxue, a senior student, appeared behind them. She had just finished cleaning the dirtiest part of this detached building and was covered in dust.

"Sister, we're not just imagining things. Our suspicions are reasonable!"

"You're all girls with boyfriends, we don't have any, so why don't you go play with yourselves." Qingxue took Tasha and left the gossip team.

In the corridor, the lights were a bit dim. Qingxue walked to the end and opened the curtains of a window, letting the sunlight pour in. The beams of sunlight were separated by the window flowers and looked very beautiful.

“Tesha, why have you looked a bit uncomfortable since earlier? Is there something on your mind about Qin Yang?" Qingxue asked, playing with her hand under the sunlight, seeming quite amused.

"No...nothing," Tesha replied.

"Oh, by the way, you mentioned that you have a red cat at home. Bring it over sometime, I'm curious to see," Qingxue said with a smile.

"Haha, sure, I'll bring it next week," Tesha replied, shaking her silver hair as she walked away.

Qingxue turned around with a smile, glanced out the window. This was the third floor, quite high, but she saw someone, a young intern teacher. They made eye contact and nodded friendly as a greeting.

In the principal's office, it was also dim, but we didn't seem to want to turn on the lights or draw the curtains for some light to shine through.

Guffy's long, slightly curled hair had turned silver from its golden color. She said she kept the silver hair for me to see when I returned because I told her that she was most beautiful with silver hair.

She was lying in my arms now, her arms wrapped around my neck, and I was sitting on the principal's chair.

Guffy remained silent as I told her all my secrets, including the incident with Bai.

"We haven't moved for an hour. Should we change positions?" I asked.

"No, I like it this way," she replied.

"Alright, I owe you one then."

"Hey, that night, was it black or white?" Guffy suddenly asked.

I patted her bottom and said, "Who needs to know what happened inside? The person outside is me, Qin Yang."

"You don't want me to distinguish who is who, afraid that I will divide things like the harem of your student council," Guffy said, different from those young girls, she was intelligent and sensible.

"Elena didn't make up her mind about her harem, and then such a thing happened. I haven't figured out a way to help her recover yet," I said.

"There will be a way, but I think you have to make her feel that your feelings for her are complete and not divided like with everyone else. Otherwise, Elena will still be entangled when she recovers," Guffy summarized.

"You're right, Headmaster."

"Heh, it's not like you were calling me Headmaster all the time. I'm not going to be Headmaster, it's too busy," Guffy said.

I remembered eighteen years ago, Guffy didn't agree to marry my father at the same time as my mother. After all, in this country, both parties had to agree in order to have multiple husbands or wives. So my father had to choose between them upon the suggestion, or rather, the order, of the empire's emperor. A duke's reputation couldn't be too poor.

I asked Guffy, "Don't you mind having multiple fiancées?"

Guffy suddenly laughed and said, "Heh, I only miss one chance and won't miss a second one. Besides, did I ever say I would marry you? Only girls with contracts are your wives."

"Who else would dare to marry you?" I pressed my nose against Guffy's and said.

But Guffy was not shy at all and stared at me straight in the eyes, easily kissing me.

"Sign a contract with me, Guffy!" I eagerly anticipated what it would be like to sign a contract with Guffy.

"..." Just as I was waiting for Guffy's response.

"Bang!" The principal's office door was pushed open, and the head teacher hurriedly walked in, saying, "Prin...". Even though the scene before him was dimly lit, he still saw it.

"Uh." The head teacher's words got stuck in his throat, his whole body unable to move, as he felt a slight magical force from those red pupils in front of him drilling into his brain, a sensation that was both painful and itchy, and he didn't even want to have any thoughts in his brain now.

"You didn't open the door, you just stood in front of it, ready to knock." I suddenly said, and the headmaster obediently followed my instructions, walking to the door and closing it.

"Did you alter his memory?"

"It's safer than hypnosis, to prevent him from having a chance to remember. The busy principal seems to have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Whether you want others to know or not, Tesha should know."

"As a mother, you should know whether she's willing to accept me as a father." From my conversation with Tesha in the morning, she doesn't like a father who disappeared right after she was born, but she does want to have a father. I need to explain to Tesha properly, not just randomly. I need a little opportunity.

"But..."

"Let her discover it herself. It will be better."

"Do you want her to accept it on her own?"

I stood up and picked up a red string to tie up Guffy's slightly curly hair.

"Slowly infiltrate into her life, let her discover it herself. Besides, she doesn't have to change her last name, 'Qin' doesn't sound good."

"Will Nia be happy or angry to know she's already a grandmother?"

"Haha, my mother is now only ten years old, chaos is already there, so let our family be even more chaotic." After tying up Guffy's hair, I left.

Outside the classroom, a large group of girls were gathering. I checked the classroom number, and it was indeed my class. Why were so many people here? They couldn't have come to see me, could they? Wait, I don't think I have that kind of appeal.

I slowly approached, peeking my head behind the crowd of girls and casually asking, "Hey, what's everyone looking at?"

"Of course we're here to see Qin Ying-sama!"

Ah, as soon as I heard that title, I knew who these people were. They were Qin Ying's fan club. Some of them always liked to fantasize about whether Qin Ying or I would be the dominant one in our relationship. I really wanted to shout and tell them that this young master likes women!

"He's not new here, why do we need to gather like this?"

"You boys wouldn't understand. Qin Ying-sama is a girl who dresses in girls' clothes and goes to school. It completely overturns our fantasies. We have to see it with our own eyes to believe it." Those girls wouldn't take their eyes off the classroom, girls' fantasies could be scarier than boys' at any moment.

"Um, but shouldn't you be looking outside? It's rare for Qin Ying to appear in the classroom, right? Besides, the student council members are preparing in the new activity building!"

Suddenly, all the girls looked at me when I said that, and then inexplicably they all backed away, dozens of girls crowded into a corner. What's going on?

"Why, do I have horns on my head or a tail behind me?"

"No girl wants to get close to your reputation."

"Shi, you talk as if you're not a girl yourself." This Shi Xueqi, she made it sound like my reputation stinks. Then come closer and try it.

"Qin, can you not call me a girl? And also, move away, don't block the doorway."
