~~~~~~

Long Aotian became the new Duke and moved into the Duke's Castle in the main city of the Principality, while I returned to the border town at my own strong request.

The former baron's mansion now belongs to me alone.

There is no other way. I think that Aotian College has to be opened in such a border area.

It's still the issue of teaching civilians privately. Although the duke who came to pick a fight with me is dead, who knows if there will be a second or third official coming. If the academy is built in the main city of the principality and attracts attention, that would be disastrous.

I had made an appointment with my lovely students Qiu Qiuya and others to go back to class, and three days have passed to date.

Well, of course, there is a more important reason.

Sister Feiya said that she would come to see me again and listen to my classes.

Even though it's just one sentence, but I really care about it.

I can’t tell whether Long Aotian’s words are true or false, but I seem to have really fallen in love with Sister Feiya.

After much thought, I still can't bear to part with Sister Feiya, the beautiful sister who is gentle and strong to me.

I feel so wronged. I don't want to be a spare tire.

Humph, when the time comes, I will definitely use my own eyes to confirm whether she is lying to me or not!

Chapter 33: Missing Students

After another night of recuperation, I felt more and more bored watching Long Aotian handling the affairs of the principality. This guy is quite good at dealing with all kinds of people.

I can't do that. Now in my little head, besides Sister Feiya, there is only my class of students.

The next morning, before dawn, I took a carriage alone and returned to the familiar village.

I originally came to become your teacher with the determination to do what I love, but today, I have been teaching you for three days, and I really feel a little guilty.

As soon as I returned to the village, I went straight to the classroom.

Surprisingly, everyone sat quietly in their seats, waiting for me obediently. Even Erdan, who always liked to pick a fight with me, sat up straight.

I quietly asked Sister Elisa, and it turned out that news came yesterday that the Dukedom had changed hands and classes had resumed, so everyone should sit down and wait for me to come back today.

Well, they are really good kids. It’s worth my educating them.

I jumped onto the familiar podium again and looked down and around.

There were a lot of familiar faces, all good kids, but as expected, the people I expected to see weren’t there.

The missing people are Dousha and the little white dog.

Sister Feiya didn't even come.

Guu, is it possible that whenever Sister Feiya has something going on, Sister Dousha will always be by her side?

Woo, no no no, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

I had clearly thought it through before. Sister Dousha is most likely the apprentice of Sister Feiya. Otherwise, she is just a girl, how could she have such powerful skills?

Think about it, Dousa's often used [Dousa Hell Cart], that throw that can send people flying 720 degrees, is very similar to the way Sister Fia sent her followers flying but not killing them that night.

However, this is just my guess, or rather, it is just the excuse I use to convince myself that Sister Feiya is not a scumbag.

Oh, when I think about the fact that Dousha has run off to who knows where with Sister Fia, I still feel very uncomfortable.

"Gu, today, let's review what we learned before. Everyone, open your textbooks."

I don’t want to think about these things anymore. The more I think about them, the worse I feel. I should focus on teaching and not let my mood affect everyone’s enthusiasm.

And just like that, another week passed.

There has been a lot of news this week, but most of them are about the new policies implemented by Long Aotian. He seems to be conveying his policy of treating all ethnic groups equally to the people of the principality.

But my school is much quieter.

Wow, not only did Sister Fia not come to see me, even the little white dog didn’t come back.

I slumped down on my desk, feeling extremely unhappy.

Now that I think about it, how come the people around me have disappeared one after another, even Long Aotian has moved to the Principality.

Before this, Little F, who had been silent for a long time, complained that I was not doing my job properly, but now the male lead’s favorability towards the female lead is still 0, so do I need to worry?

This is also its fault. As for the standard for completing the task, Xiao F has always had only one ambiguous statement, which is that it needs to be completely confirmed that the relationship between the hero and the heroine will never get better. So, isn't it good for me to teach students, earn a living, and leisurely wait for the task to be completed?

After only a few days, I discovered that in this small frontier town, the only things left for me were the Baron's mansion and Aotian Academy.

"Sir, sir!"

I was sitting in the office feeling unhappy when I heard a crisp shout.

Hmm, is that Qiuqiuya’s kid?

"Qiu Qiuya, is there anything you need from the teacher?"

I reached out and touched the little loli Qiuqiuya who was sweating profusely from running.

"Well, sir, something bad has happened. Mi Li, Mi Li is missing!"

Qiu Qiuya finally managed to catch her breath and looked up at me with a tearful face.

"Mi Li? Is she the child of the beastman?"

I have some impression, after all, there were not many foreigners in the class. She was a loli with a pair of cute animal ears. The way her furry ears twitched was really cute.

"Well, Qiu Qiuya hasn't seen her for almost three days. I went to her house after school today, and her adoptive parents said that she was lost!"

Three days, three days gone!

My face turned red. My students hadn't come to class for three days, and I didn't even notice.

Oh, this is also my responsibility. Even if the students don't come for one day, I wouldn't pursue it, because everyone is here voluntarily. But the person has been missing for three days, and I didn't even notice it!

I reached out and held Qiu Qiuya's shoulders.

"Why didn't her parents tell her? It's been three days!"

"Oh, because, because Mi Li is a child of the beast tribe, and they were originally adopted. In the past, even if a child of the beast tribe was lost, no one would take care of him..."

Qiu Qiuya was so sad that she almost cried. The little girl didn’t understand. She was obviously their little friend, but everyone always talked about humans and aliens separately.

"Don't worry, be good, Qiu Qiuya, trust the teacher, I will definitely help you find her back. Remember, you are my student, you can't have such wrong views as them, everyone is obviously the same!"

"Well, thank you sir!"

Without further ado, I took Qiu Qiuya's hand and hurried to visit Mi Li's adoptive parents' home.

Mi Li's parents are both human beings, and they bought and raised Mi Li since he was a child, and they have treated him as their own child.

But their child was lost, and apart from complaining to themselves and crying, the two of them just accepted their fate.

Wow, I'm a little angry.

I guess that Long Aotian has not been in power for long, and their deep-rooted concepts about humans and alien races have not changed fundamentally at all.

"Tsk, these slave traders are so abominable, I must let Long Aotian kill them!"

Such a cute little girl was lost just like that. Looking at the sad old couple, although I was angry at them for not fighting back, I was also extremely angry in my heart.

"Alas, sir, my rice grains were not lost by a swindler or a human trafficker, otherwise even if they were a slave, they would be considered property and we would have reported it to the police long ago."

Mi Li's mother had just finished speaking tearfully when she was glared at by Mi Li's father. She immediately shut up.

But the little bit of news I just heard was enough to shock me so much that my mouth opened wide.

"If he's not a human trafficker, I don't dare to report him to the police. Could it be that!"

According to common sense, if people are afraid to report to the authorities, then there is only one possibility: this matter was probably done by the government.

But isn’t Long Aotian the only local official?

"Wow, no way, Long Aotian is a lecherous guy, and he likes monster girls, but how can he be so perverted!"

My scream scared Mi Li's father so much that he jumped up from his seat immediately and quickly closed the doors and windows to make sure no one heard.

"Hush, my good sir, please don't speak ill of the Duke. I'm going to tell you the truth now!"

"army?"

What an unexpected answer.

"Oh, now I remember, my mother said that the soldiers who went on the expedition to the Pig-Headed Tribe came back recently. They were so bad that when they passed by Qiu Qiuya's house, they also grabbed two old hens from the aunt next door!"

Qiu Qiuya clapped her fists and suddenly realized.

Chapter 34 Clues!

Well, now I understand.

In this place where there is no profession similar to the ancient Chinese constables, soldiers are still the main reliance for maintaining local public order.

But the soldiers sent by these kingdoms did not take the border residents seriously at all. Now that they had returned victoriously after annihilating several pig-headed tribes, they must be extremely arrogant and their actions were no different from those of bandits.

"So, Mi Li was taken away as a 'trophy' by these guys?"

The couple both fell silent, and actually agreed.

Well, that's right. If you want to report to the authorities, you can only report it to the soldiers, and the soldiers will report it step by step. When you don't know how many people condone such things, ordinary people can only suffer in silence.

Moreover, although these soldiers commit minor offenses frequently, they all know their limits and will not do such things as killing people or raping women. Moreover, they have military merits to their credit, so even if the higher-ups really investigate, most likely nothing will happen.

If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on Mi Li being a child of the beastman tribe, a "valuable" commodity.

"That's not right. Mi Li is not a commodity, a trophy, or a slave. She is also a living child, my lovely student!"

"We all treat Mi Li as our own child. But there is no way. In today's world, who will stand up for us, for Mi Li, a child of the beast tribe?"

I couldn't sit still anymore and jumped off the chair.

"I will take care of it. I will definitely find Mi Li!"

Qiu Qiuya looked at me with admiration, her big eyes sparkling, and I couldn't help but rub her little head proudly.

"Alas, it's useless. These soldiers are sent by the kingdom. Even Duke Aotian is powerless to investigate. We appreciate your kindness, sir, but you should hide in school for the next two days, or you will be caught."

As expected, the only loli named Qiuqiuya trusts me. This couple doesn’t believe me at all.

Do they just think that I'm just a succubus loli who has read some books?

It was good to have a starting point and enough information, so I took Qiu Qiuya and left the couple's home.

It’s decided. I, Li Zhi, will save this poor loli who no one cares about!

The school just asked Sister Alyssa to take over the class for review temporarily. If I don’t go, I will feel guilty and how can I set an example for the students and give them a sense of security?

Woo, anyway, if I wait any longer, I guess Sister Feiya won’t come to see me. Humph, it’s been so long, she must have long forgotten about me, a poor loli who was teased by her.

angry!

I held Qiu Qiuya's hand and ran straight to the village entrance, to the soldiers' camp.

These people have recently returned from different directions and most of them are stationed in the camp over there. I hope I am lucky and the soldier who stole the rice has not returned yet.

"Stop, this is not a place for children to play..."

At the camp gate, I was about to go in when the guard stopped me with his weapon.

I pulled out a token and threw it in their faces.

"This is a token. Is it the token of Duke Long Aotian?"

Humph, of course I wouldn't be a loli who barges into a place like this without any confidence. I'm not a stupid loli who is brave but not wise.

"It's good that you know. Seeing this token is like seeing Long Aotian himself. Why don't you get out of the way!"

I glared at the two gatekeepers, and they looked at each other and had no choice but to let me pass.

"Oh, by the way, if you two have been guarding here, have you seen the soldiers bring in the beastman's children?"

I had already gone in when I suddenly remembered and asked a question.

"A child of the beast tribe? Zhang San and Li Si from the seventh camp seem to have captured one. They said it was a trophy captured in the pig-headed people's territory."

Bah, it turns out to be these two guys.

I gritted my teeth. It was really easy to get it. Zhang San and Li Si, just by hearing their names, I knew they were two lawless bad guys.

It was much easier once I knew the location, so I asked about the location of the seventh tent and headed straight there.

From a distance, I could hear the noisy sounds inside, people drinking, chatting, fighting, there was absolutely no military discipline at all.
