Su Xin himself, however, was enjoying the most leisurely time he had experienced since coming into this world.
For the past month, he has hardly left the house, spending all his time in the private courtyard of Slade Academy.
His daily life consisted either of having fun with nine female students or on his way to have fun.
On this day, the sun shone brightly and the breeze was gentle.
Su Xin was on the lawn in the courtyard, meticulously preparing an open-air BBQ for his nine beloved female students.
He skillfully flipped the various meat skewers on the grill, occasionally sprinkling them with his secret seasoning.
The enticing aroma quickly filled the entire courtyard.
"Here you go, Rongrong, your favorite roasted chicken wings are ready."
Su Xin held a skewer of golden-brown, crispy chicken wings to Ning Rongrong's lips, a doting smile on his face.
Ning Rongrong happily opened her little mouth, took a bite, and her eyes narrowed into slits with happiness.
"Mmm! Delicious! The chicken wings that the teacher bakes are the best things in the world!"
"Zhuqing, Zhuyun, your grilled shrimp are ready too, be careful they're hot."
"Leng Leng, here are your roasted vegetables."
"Hey dancer, come on, try the teacher's special sausage, I guarantee you'll love it."
As Su Xin grilled the food, he handed it out one by one to the girls who were eagerly waiting.
"Teacher, you're being unfair! Why are the sausages from the dance troupe so big, while ours are so small!"
Shui Yue'er looked at the sausage in the dancer's hand, which was clearly a size larger than the others, and protested in dissatisfaction.
Su Xin laughed and gently pinched her little nose:
"You little rascal, you're so clever for your age. When you grow up, your teacher will bake you an even bigger one."
"Hehe, you said it yourself, teacher, so you can't go back on your word!"
The girls sat around Su Xin, chattering and laughing, their silvery laughter carrying far.
"Don't worry about getting fat, eat more meat." Su Xin looked at their youthful and beautiful faces and was in a great mood.
"Tonight, the teacher will teach you a set of exercises to ensure that you get better and better in shape and more and more attractive."
Wow! The teacher is so nice!
"Teacher, I'd like another skewer of grilled sausage. That was amazing, so salty and delicious!"
The dancer blushed slightly, holding up the half-eaten sausage in her hand, and said with lingering relish.
"No problem, enough!"
Su Xin laughed heartily with satisfaction, and his grilling movements became even more serious.
At this joyous moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually quiet, suddenly asked:
"Teacher Su, those guys outside have been kneeling for almost half a month now, are we really not going to do anything about it?"
Ning Rongrong pouted and said with a look of disgust:
"It's all that old miser Flander's fault!"
"Ever since that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang ran away, he has been constantly instigating Ma Hongjun and Auska."
"They say sincerity can move heaven and earth, and it will surely move Teacher Su so that she will accept them as well."
"And sure enough, those two idiots actually believed it and knelt there for half a month."
"Later, Feng Xiaotian somehow got wind of it and knelt down too. It's so annoying."
Upon hearing Feng Xiaotian's name, the dancer beside him blushed and coughed awkwardly.
"Um... Rongrong, this... this is my fault, I accidentally let it slip."
"I originally wanted my brother Wushuang to try it out too, to see if he could get some guidance from the teacher."
"But I never expected that he would bring Feng Xiaotian, that stubborn pest, along with him."
"Your brother's here too?" Su Xin was somewhat surprised to hear this. "Why didn't you say so sooner, you silly girl?"
"I..." the dancer stuck out her tongue, "I'm afraid you'll find it annoying, teacher."
"Silly girl. I may not give face to other people, but I must give face to your brother!"
With that, Su Xin stood up from the grill, wiped his hands, and addressed all the girls:
"Let's go, we've been cooped up at home for so long, let's go out and see those silly boys, and have some fun while we're at it."
The girls perked up at the prospect of some fun, jumping up from the grass and excitedly following Su Xin toward the courtyard gate.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun, Auska, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wushuang were kneeling upright on the hard stone steps.
Half a month of exposure to wind and sun had left them looking disheveled.
Even so, their eyes remained full of determination and perseverance.
When the courtyard gate, which had been tightly closed for half a month, slowly opened with a soft creak.
The four people looked up almost at the same time!
When they saw that handsome, silver-haired figure dressed in black appear at the door.
His previously dim eyes suddenly burst forth with an incomparably dazzling light!
"Teacher Su!"
"Professor Su, you've finally agreed to see us!"
Ma Hongjun and Auska were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and without thinking, they started kowtowing repeatedly.
"Please, Teacher Su, have mercy and accept us as your disciples!"
"We are willing to serve you like cattle and horses, to give our lives and die for you!"
Although Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang were not as exaggerated as the others, they were equally excited.
"Please give us a chance, Teacher Su!"
Su Xin did not speak immediately, but stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over the four people indifferently.
Behind him, nine girls, including Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, stood like nine proud little swans.
Each of them craned their snow-white necks, scrutinizing the four people kneeling on the ground with a critical gaze.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really pitiful."
Ning Rongrong looked at Auska's disfigured face and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Little Ao, if you don't shave your beard soon, I'll start to think you're Teacher Zhao Wuji's brother."
"Yeah, it stinks!" Dugu Yan pinched her nose.
"You haven't showered for half a month, are you trying to drive the teacher out with your stench?"
The girls' teasing made the four people kneeling on the ground turn pale and then red, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
Seeing their embarrassed state, Su Xin couldn't help but be moved. He even thought of the monkey on Fangcun Mountain.
He then cleared his throat and slowly began to speak.
"Although I don't accept male students, I do need a few more people to handle things."
"Considering you've been kneeling for half a month, which shows you at least some sincerity, we'll give you this."
"If you can pass my test, I can give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, the four of them instantly trembled with excitement!
Professor Su Xin has finally relented!
Although he was just a subordinate and couldn't compare to a direct disciple, he was still one of King Tianwei's people!
This title alone is enough to drive all the Soul Masters on the continent crazy with envy!
"We do! We do!"
Without a second thought, the four nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice, and made their promise in unison.
Su Xin's gaze first fell on Auska's hairy face.
“Auska”.
"Yes, Ms. Su!" Auska immediately straightened her back, her face showing both nervousness and anticipation.
"Your first test... is to shave off your beard first."
"Huh?" Oska was stunned, clearly not expecting the test to be like this.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Su Xin said irritably.
"Look at yourself now, you look like a man in his forties or fifties. I feel uncomfortable just looking at you."
"My students, Su Xin's students, may not be strong, but their image absolutely cannot be bad!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The teacher is right! I'll go shave today!" Auska nodded in agreement.
“This is just the first step.”
Su Xin continued, "Your second test is to be able to use soul skills without reciting those disgusting incantations."
"Teacher Su, you may not know this, but the soul skills of us food-type soul masters all require incantations to guide them."
"This is a characteristic of martial spirits, fundamentally..."
“Nothing is impossible.” Su Xin interrupted Auska directly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Incantations, to put it bluntly, are just a form of mental suggestion, a means to help you concentrate your mental energy."
"A truly powerful Soul Master relies on absolute control over Soul Power, not on those fancy slogans."
"The fact that you can't do it only shows that your control over your soul power is far from sufficient."
"I don't care what method you use, just come see me when you've succeeded."
"Otherwise, you'll always be just a piece of trash who can only conjure sausages by shouting slogans."
Su Xin's words struck Auska's heart like a heavy hammer.
