"Oh? Brother Liang, how come you're so calm about this now?" Gao Xiaofu was slightly taken aback after hearing Zhong Yongliang's words.
"Why fight over meaningless titles like 'rich young master' or 'ringleader'? Those are things only kids do!" Zhong Yongliang waved his hand dismissively. "We've matured now. We don't play that game anymore. The truly formidable people all keep a low profile!"
"Oh, I get it!" Gao Xiaofu nodded quickly.
"We'll just stand on the sidelines and watch. If Xie Yufeng crosses paths with Wei Zhao, all the better. If not, it's none of our concern anyway," Zhong Yongliang said indifferently.
"All right, the three of you can sit at the back right of the classroom for now!" Teacher Liu pointed to the rear right corner of the room. "There's an empty desk over there. Since you three already know each other, just make do sitting together for the time being. If a suitable spot opens up, I'll rearrange things!"
Teacher Liu had originally intended to seat Xie Yufeng at the front, but seeing them now, it was obvious they weren't here to study seriously, so Teacher Liu's attitude toward them had cooled considerably.
Xie Yufeng and the other two, however, were clearly not particular about where they sat. It made no difference to them, so when Teacher Liu instructed them to sit at the back right, Xie Yufeng gave her a polite nod. "Understood, Teacher!"
Seeing that Xie Yufeng did not object and was respectful and modest, Teacher Liu's impression of him improved somewhat. She thought to herself that perhaps the two followers had been arranged by Xie Yufeng's family and had nothing to do with him personally.
Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Yufeng and found that he wasn't looking his way. He shook his head instead. Was he being overly cautious?
But just after Wei Zhao withdrew his gaze, Xie Yufeng's eyes shot toward him. It lasted only an instant before he looked away again and continued walking to his own seat.
How sharp was Wei Zhao's sixth sense? That fleeting glance from Xie Yufeng had still been caught by him!
Xie Yufeng had just looked at him! Why would he look at him? Was it because Wei Zhao had looked at him first?
After all, the perceptions of a Mystic-rank expert were extremely keen. When Wei Zhao looked at Xie Yufeng — provided Wei Zhao made no deliberate effort to hide it — Xie Yufeng would certainly sense it. So for him to look back was only natural!
"All right, now that I've introduced the new student, there's one more thing I need to announce!" Teacher Liu waited until Xie Yufeng, Li Panghu, and Wang Congming were all seated before continuing. "To relieve your study pressure, to add a little fun to the dull, dry life of senior year, and to let everyone relax a bit, the school has decided to hold a singing competition for the senior class! First there will be a competition within each class, and the winners will go on to the grade-level finals! Of course, this activity is not mandatory. Those of you with a passion for it can sign up — solo or in a group. Those who can't sing can be part of the audience! And of course, being tone-deaf doesn't matter. You could do rap instead — isn't rap all the rage these days?"
Teacher Liu's words drew a burst of laughter from the class! Senior year really was dull and dry, so even a small occasional activity could lift everyone's spirits! Singing competitions were a regular event around the arts festival in the first and second years, when no one had thought much of them. But upon entering senior year, the intense academic life had left many students gasping for air, and their only group activities seemed all the more precious.
So Teacher Liu's announcement was immediately met with enthusiasm from the majority of the class, who responded with cheers!
