Chapter 82: An Unexpected Encounter with Student and Teacher (Fourth Update)

  These days, Li Xie is busy stabilizing Chrysanthemum City and has no time to show off or flirt with decent women on the streets. A small flame of rogue in his heart has long been burning into a raging fire.

  Now's your chance!

  There are beautiful female teachers and also beautiful student sisters!

  Hmmm... The teacher is indeed the main dish, but someone drooled on it, so let's put that aside for now. My gaze is fixed on the student!

  Li Xie's eyes narrowed, his eyebrows twitched, and the corner of his mouth rose, revealing his sharp canine teeth: "Hello everyone, my title is too long to remember, you can call me Duke Xie, but that sounds too formal, so just call me Brother Xie."

  "Xie ge..."

  The male students made a bow and the female students curtsied, all of them paying their respects.

  Of course, they are not so obedient to be called "evil brothers" at once. It's just that etiquette is like this, although different countries have their own ways of doing things, when meeting nobles from other countries, it is necessary to pay respects, but there is no need to use honorific language or perform a bowing ceremony.

  "Haha……" Looking at the crowd of people who used to be envious of Li Xie's bookworms bowing to him like a dark and messy gathering, Li Xie laughed particularly brightly, indeed fulfilling that phrase "The wheel of fortune turns!" Don't underestimate poor young men!

  Miss Amanda also nodded slightly towards Li Xie and smiled: "Three of you came to our airship, what's the matter?"

  Li Xie didn't respond, but instead looked at a somewhat wooden Vandy Saul: "Vandy! Have you forgotten something?"

  "Ah? Oh!" Vandy Sell finally came to his senses and hastily said: "This is Professor Amanda, Viscountess Amanda Angel, a 10th-level natural system magician, Vice President of the Magic Institute of Goldenrod Empire's Goldenrod Academy."

  "Vice President, I used to be a Vice President too!" Li Xie smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Professor Amanda should know my old friend Van Dyke?"

  Old friend!

  Van Di Sel glanced up at Li Xie with a look of gratitude in his eyes!

  Vandy Sell is no longer the Dean of the Sword Saint Institute at the Imperial Academy, but just a follower of Li Xie! Although Vandy Sell doesn't mind, being a follower in the Human Realm of the Gods' Continent is a relatively special position, equivalent to a personal bodyguard and also equivalent to a deputy officer. The title may not have a specific definition, but the status depends on who you follow! A Grand Duke's follower has an absolutely higher status than any college dean, because a Grand Duke's follower is equivalent to a Deputy Lord!

  However, this is still an undefined title, and the servant of a baron can also be called an attendant. Vandy's current status has been elevated, but it's not very good to see people, mainly because he's embarrassed to see a particular person, which is also why Vandy didn't introduce his attendant identity just now.

  But Li Xie's one sentence, old friend, was what moved him so deeply! Letting him know that his duke not only treated him as a follower but also as a friend, as a brother! That's why he paid such attention to details in front of the woman, calling him by name as a friend rather than just a follower! This was giving him face!

  "Sir, I indeed know Miss Amanda. Every year, the Wang Dynasty Academy exchanges with academies from other countries, and we met at the exchange meeting." said Vandy Sell.

  "Look at this old guy, he should find a wife already, doesn't even have a girlfriend. So, Teacher Amanda, take a look at him, isn't he too serious? Li Xie shook his head and said to Teacher Amanda: "In private, he actually calls me 'Xie brother', but when there are outsiders around, he's all formal and calls me 'sir'. He's so stiff! But being stiff means being honest, and being honest means being dedicated. Dedicated is what women should look for in a man, don't find someone who's promiscuous, it'll only bring suffering to yourself. Find someone dedicated, even if they're a bit stiff, you'll be happy for the rest of your life! Teacher Amanda, isn't that right?"

  Master! Your words have made Vandy kneel down to you! You will forever be my master!

  Wandi Xie is so touching, hot tears are flowing in my heart! Following such a master, what can't be expected? Even helping to pick up girls!

  Vandy Sell has already seen that Li Xie is aware of his inner thoughts, otherwise, he wouldn't have given him face and put the topic on him right away. After all, here, the Grand Duke and the Lord are the main characters! He secretly glanced at Teacher Amanda a few times, wanting to see how she would react after hearing Li Xie's words.

  Miss Amanda still wore a polite smile: "The Duke of Evil's words are not unreasonable, it's just that I've heard that rigid men lack romantic sentiment, what do you think, Duke of Evil?"

  Wow!

  Li's eyebrow twitched, it seems that these two people are not just Fan Di's one-sided love, Amanda also has a crush on him! This sentence is obviously said to those two idiots, Fan Di and the other guy!

  Li Xie smiled slyly: "Romantic feelings are like wine."

  "Oh? What's going on?"

  "The Great Sleeper said: Just drinking alone, you can't appreciate the flavor of wine, and it's even more bitter. It's like unrequited love, no matter how much you think about it, or long for it, the person is always elsewhere, unaware of your deep feelings! So, when drinking, you need to pair it with something - food, events, or people! Drinking with food opens up your appetite; drinking with events washes away a thousand worries; drinking with people makes everyone drunk without the wine! Some stiff guy isn't lacking in romantic sentiment, but lacks someone to share a drink with. Of course, others can't see the atmosphere of 'everyone gets drunk on their own'! Amanda teacher, it seems like it's almost time for dinner."

  Too high! Really too high!

  The adults are giving me an opportunity! Next, I only need to show some romantic feelings, hehe...... But...... what is a romantic feeling? No way! I'll have to secretly ask the adults later!

  Fan Di Xue is now admiring Li Xie with utmost respect. Seeing him habitually take out paper and pen, he quickly wrote down "Wine does not get drunk, everyone gets drunk by themselves".

  Miss Amanda glanced at Vandy Sell and smiled: "It's almost dinnertime, but the Evil Duke has gone around in circles and still hasn't said what you're doing here on our airship."

  "Heh heh, just came to take a break and coincidentally get some food, Teacher Amanda won't make us bring our own lunch, right?"

  "The Marquis of Evil smiled and said, 'As long as the Marquis of Evil doesn't despise our college's food, please follow me into the cabin...'"

  "No, no, eating in the room is boring. Let's eat on the deck instead, with the students. Everyone will have a good time! I'll pay for the wine!"

  "Alright then. I'll go and give the order."

  "Go ahead."

  As Amanda walked into the cabin, Vandy Sail leaned in close to Li Xie and whispered: "Thank you, sir."

  "Do you like her?" Li Xie asked with a raised eyebrow.

  Van Dyke's face turned red and he nodded awkwardly.

  "Go for it if you like her! It's the most ordinary thing in the world. Be bold and do it! How long have you known her?"

  "Ten..."

  "Ten years? My god, you still can't get it done in ten years?" Li Ye glanced over and no wonder Fan Di was still single even though he was in his forties and had a decent position.

  "Adult......" Vandy Sell's face turned purple: "Yes... nineteen years and nine months..."

  Li Ye slapped his forehead: "You're really something! She's not married either? No boyfriend?"

  "It seems like... nothing..."

  "Go! There's a play!" Li Xie patted his shoulder, took out a bottle of wine: "A 70-year-old Tielni, the entire Doudou dynasty only produced less than ten bottles, this is one of the two remaining ones. I'm reluctant to give it to even Mengmeng. The road is paved for you, take it yourself. That little girl can see that even a rookie like me has some interest in you, it's up to you to grasp it. Oh, she's a romantic person, remember this."

  "Sir!" Vandy Sell gripped the wine bottle tightly, his lips trembling with emotion. It was a while before he calmed down, then said: "Sir... I don't understand romance."

  "Haha, no one understands, our earth... I said that in our village, there's a saying that goes like this: 'Picking up girls is all about being bold, meticulous and having thick skin!' A fat pig can knock over a big white radish, a wild beast can get a beautiful rich woman! Moreover...” Li Xie laughed and said: “They say men are animals controlled by their lower body, do you know what animal women are? Women are blind people with sensitive ears! They can't see anything, they can only hear, so speak more good words, good words aren't afraid of being cheesy, be bold and speak!"

  "Bold and meticulous with a thick skin... good words..." Vandy Sell nodded vigorously.

  "Haha, romance is all about evoking emotions with scenery and sweet talk. Later, you go flirt with Amanda alone, I'll go chat up the schoolgirl."

  The sun slowly sets in the west, and in its afterglow, a patch of orange-yellow appears on the deck.

  The students of Jinque Academy and Teacher Amanda sat in a circle, while Li Xie's three people sat together, with a sumptuous dinner in the middle.

  Vandy Sael hasn't had a chance to be alone with Ms. Amanda yet, probably after dinner.

  The dishes were provided by Jinque Academy, while the wine was provided by Li Xie. Even if Li Xie took out his own worst and most abundant wine, it was still a fine wine that these students couldn't even drink normally, and they all exclaimed in surprise. The group of female students even surrounded Li Xie, calling him "Xie Ge" this and "Xie Ge" that, provoking the male students' eyes to fill with jealousy.

  When did Li Xie ever enjoy such a treatment of being surrounded by beauties? He was so delighted that he couldn't close his mouth!

  And he learned from the students that they were all 4th or 5th level minor magicians who had just finished their intermediate courses and went to Manny City for sightseeing as a graduation trip.

  "Master Sleep is on! I have a question for you all, now that you've graduated, some of you are going to further your studies, while others will be entering the workforce. Have any of you considered working in another country?"

  Since Li Xie knew that this was a student of the Magic Institute, he had already been planning to deal with these people, including Teacher Amanda!

  Magicians, although a powerful force in each country, are generally free to work in other countries, often taking on roles as teachers or in professions that require magical power, but do not participate in the military. After all, if two countries go to war, it involves too many things, and the home country will not allow magicians to join the military of another country, nor will another country dare to let foreign magicians join their military.

  Li Xie doesn't need them to join the army, but rather needs them to be teachers or something else, because Huajing City lacks magic users! Although this can be done by asking the Imperial Academy for people, Li Xie has thought about it but hasn't done it yet. However, since they coincidentally ran into foreign magic users, why not try to persuade them to come over?

  Moreover, Li Xie wanted them to go to Chrysanthemum City also because of a peculiar rule!
