The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"We want to hear the following!"

Suddenly, a jeer rang out, immediately resonating with the other students, who also chimed in with their own jeers.

In fact, Gu Ran could pinpoint who started it, but that was the situation he wanted, so he didn't name those who egged him on.

"Alright, alright, I know everyone wants to hear stories, but this is a course at Lanxin University, not a storytelling forum. The content should focus on practical information relevant to the course," Gu Ran said, patting the lectern and lowering his voice.

The students sighed in disappointment.

However, at this moment they did not realize that they had accepted Gu Ran, who was too old for their teacher, and even hoped that he could teach more.

"If we're fast enough, we can still keep talking, even just chatting. But that would require your cooperation, otherwise the principal will deduct my salary if the teaching task isn't completed." Gu Ran's tone suddenly changed again.

"Hahaha..." Gu Ran's words made them feel very close to her; she didn't have any airs of a teacher at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set off well, Gu Ran continued his lecture.

Students who started paying attention in class realized that Gu Ran was a really good lecturer. He not only knew the knowledge points in the textbook by heart, but he could also extend the discussion to the latest scientific research hotspots and make some additional content.

After speaking for a while, Gu Ran stepped down from the podium and said, "Okay, next I'm going to ask a question. You can raise your hands to answer. Students who answer correctly will get extra points for their participation. Opportunities are limited, first come, first served."

Gu Ran's words immediately inspired some top students to try their luck, as they cherished every opportunity to improve their scores.

Suddenly, Gu Ran noticed a girl hiding in the corner, avoiding facing him directly.

"You look familiar, but I don't think I know anyone in Canglong City."

Gu Ran was somewhat puzzled.

He hesitated for a moment, not asking a question immediately, but instead walked to the other side, wanting to see the girl's face and figure out which of his "acquaintances" she was.

But when Gu Ran walked over, the girl covered her face and turned to the other side, still avoiding facing Gu Ran directly.

"She has a very petite figure, but her most striking features are quite eye-catching..."

Gu Ran pondered to himself, and this body type quickly narrowed down the possibilities for him.

To be honest, he did know people in Canglong City, although he only "met" them after arriving there.

Those are the twin sisters from the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy.

Of course, the two sides have no real relationship; at most, they are just strangers. Whether they can be considered "acquaintances" is debatable, but they are at least "familiar faces".

Once he finally remembered who it was, Gu Ran lost interest in her.

He felt something was off about that woman, just like that old fox Xue Yingsong, and he didn't want to get involved with her.

"My question is how to safely prepare a test tube of liquid starstone?" Gu Ran asked with a smile.

......

The course was even more successful than Gu Ran had expected. There were some troublesome students who wanted to test his abilities as a teacher, but Gu Ran was naturally not stumped by them.

After gaining access to the Lanxin University Library, Gu Ran's knowledge improved rapidly, and according to his own estimation, the Lanxin University library's collection would probably only last for less than a month.

So even when faced with questions from the elite students of Lanxin University, Gu Ran felt that they were no different from questions for elementary school students, and it was difficult to perceive any difference.

"Damn it, this is so unlucky. I never thought that guy would become my teacher. What if he recognizes me and holds a grudge and gives me a low grade?"

Gu Ran was on her way back to her residence when she saw an "acquaintance" on the road.

Cheng Youmeng walked along anxiously, completely unaware that the person she was muttering to was right behind her.

In fact, she has practiced martial arts since childhood and has developed the ability to be sensitive to her surroundings. If an ordinary person were standing behind her, she would definitely be able to spot them.

But standing behind her was Gu Ran, a telekinetic user who could blend into his surroundings.

Gu Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised. Why did they run into each other again? Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

After thinking it over, Gu Ran decided not to take a detour and went straight there.

If anyone should be taking a detour, it should be her. Shouldn't she be the one who's afraid?

"Cheng Youmeng, so you're here. Did you think you could hide here? Your Niyuan Martial Arts Academy has long since declined. Why can't you accept that fact?"

A very burly man walked towards Cheng Youmeng with two henchmen.

"Oh? You even brought in help? This is... that recent star researcher?" Her previously nonchalant tone suddenly changed. "Cheng Youmeng, do you think you can rest easy just because you brought in a teacher from the school? Anyway, we haven't broken any school rules, so even if it's a teacher, they can't do anything to us?"

Cheng Youmeng turned around, somewhat puzzled: "Help? Teacher? What did you say—"

Cheng Youmeng, who saw Gu Ran, suddenly paused, and Gu Ran, who was halfway there, also couldn't help but stop.

For some reason, an awkward atmosphere filled the room.

The burly man over there continued to grumble: "Hmph, Cheng Youmeng, you're not getting rid of us anyway. Although we can't beat you, we can annoy you to death. As long as you're still at Lanxin University, you can't lay a hand on us, who are also students at Lanxin University. Of course, if you want to lay a hand on us, you can, and we certainly won't retaliate."

Finally, the burly man revealed a smug smile, as if he had everything under control.

It wasn't what I thought...

Gu Ran originally thought that Cheng Youmeng had offended these people, so these people were preparing to retaliate against Cheng Youmeng and fight her. Cheng Youmeng was anxiously pacing back and forth.

Unexpectedly, it seems she is quite powerful and has already taught them a lesson. They were just following her out of revenge, simply to annoy her.

Shaking his head, Gu Ran prepared to leave.

Firstly, he wasn't anyone's helper; he was just passing by. Secondly, these men couldn't beat her anyway, and they only dared to follow her around like this to annoy her while she was inside Lanxin University. Once she left Lanxin University, it should be a piece of cake for her to teach these guys a lesson.

“You guys are indeed as annoying as flies,” Cheng Youmeng sighed. “But if you think I’m avoiding you, you’re sorely mistaken. You don’t have that much influence.”

Cheng Youmeng never voiced her fear of or avoidance of anyone.

After all, the person involved was present.

"Hmph, if you weren't afraid of our strategy, why would you have brought your teacher along as an assistant?" The burly man ignored Cheng Youmeng's explanation and said smugly.

Cheng Youmeng remained silent.

"Leng Ran, is it? Although you are a teacher, I advise you to mind your own business. After all, Lanxin University has plenty of teachers and researchers. Losing one or two won't have much of an impact on Lanxin University." Seeing that he had "intimidated" Cheng Youmeng, the burly man turned his gaze to Gu Ran and said.

Gu Ran, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks.

"What if I want to meddle? I'm curious about your methods."

Gu Ran was indeed very curious about what methods this person who dared to make such arrogant remarks could use against him.

"They won't just keep following us like this, will they? That would be really disgusting."

A hint of disgust appeared on Gu Ran's face.

"Hmph, I didn't expect someone like you, a bounty hunter, to be so arrogant. Don't think nobody knows your background. If I wanted to investigate you, I could find out easily," the burly man said, tilting his chin up.

His two henchmen nodded and bowed in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, if Young Master Du wants to mess with you, he has plenty of ways to do it. We advise you to be obedient and know your place, and not be ungrateful."

"Pfft, are you guys a comedian? Why do you have a straight man?" Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh; this was just too funny.

135. How about I entrust Lanxin University to you? (4k)

“They’re from the Du Family Martial Arts Academy. Don’t worry, although they talk tough, they’re actually cowards and wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on the researchers from Lanxin University,” Cheng Youmeng whispered to Gu Ran.

Is this telling me not to be afraid, and to just stand up to them?

Gu Ran frowned slightly. Although he wasn't afraid of these guys, he still felt uncomfortable being used like this.

Cheng Youmeng continued in a low voice, "Although they are just cowardly small fry, there is a very terrifying force behind them. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you should leave quickly and not offend them. If you get involved with the forces behind them, you will be in real danger."

Cheng Youmeng's words eased Gu Ran's mind, and even her initial bad impression of her changed.

"Hmph, if you know what's good for you, leave now." The burly man snorted coldly, behaving very arrogantly.

Gu Ran glanced at Cheng Youmeng, then at the burly man and the others, and suddenly chuckled.

“That’s interesting. Although you seem very arrogant, I can sense that you are very afraid, not only of me but also of her. You think you’re hiding this fear well, but you don’t realize that every physical action you take is betraying you.”

"You were probably forced out of this, and you should know you can't beat her, so you blatantly followed a girl at Lanxin University to make yourselves 'famous.' It seems stupid, but perhaps that's where your wisdom lies."

"By doing this in such a blatant way, you've made yourself known to a great many people. This makes her hesitant to teach you a lesson at Lanxin University, which makes her wary. At the same time, it gives you an explanation to the forces behind you, letting them know that you are indeed taking action, even if the action seems a bit foolish. As a result, the people behind you can't blame you for it."

"I don't know if someone taught you this trick or if you came up with it yourself, but I have to say it's quite effective. At least it can protect you to the greatest extent possible."

"What...what are you talking about? I really don't understand a word of it, it's ridiculous." Gu Ran's words made the burly man's expression change. He forced a smile, trying to show that what he said was absurd and laughable. However, his mentality was really broken and his acting was not good, so he only confirmed what Gu Ran said.

"Although I don't know what grudges your backers have against them, I have to remind you that this is Lanxin University, the highest academic institution in Canglong City and even the entire Human Alliance. Don't make a mess of this place, otherwise, do you think the principal won't know anything? No, he knows everything, he just doesn't want to know normally. But once you do something he doesn't like at Lanxin University, nothing will be able to hide from him."

Gu Ran looked at the burly men and smiled slightly: "Gentlemen, you don't want the principal to know about the things you did at Lanxin University that displeased him, do you?"

"You... what nonsense are you spouting? We are all law-abiding and law-abiding students!" The burly man took two steps back, pointing his finger at Gu Ran. "You... you wait, you're slandering us like this, we're definitely going to file a complaint against you!"

"Go ahead," Gu Ran said casually.

"You... Hmph, we'll see!" The burly man stormed off, his two henchmen quickly following after him.

Cheng Youmeng looked at this scene with some surprise. How could the problem that had been giving her such a headache be solved so easily?

In terms of force, she was not afraid of her opponent; on the contrary, her opponent should be afraid of her.

However, she didn't have a good way to deal with the other party's trick of cheating.

Unexpectedly, the other party was persuaded to leave with just a few words. It seems that... they really do seem to feel guilty because their thoughts have been exposed.

Cheng Youmeng looked at Gu Ran thoughtfully.

Although this guy is a cultivation failure, he's actually quite skilled in other areas.

Thinking back to her past "outrageous remarks" to the other party, Cheng Youmeng felt a pang of guilt, and her face flushed slightly.
