Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

The dining hall at West State University was bustling with people, laughter, and the aroma of food.

Bai Mo sat by the table, biting into a roasted lamb chop and licking the cumin off his lips.

Next to him, his fox disciple Honey Peach Cake held a lamb chop in each of its fox claws, enjoying itself merrily.

"Owo Owo Owo!"

Not far away were Wan Bocheng, Yang Zhan, Guan Yue Ling, and others dining together. After a long absence, they were all excited to see Bai Mo again.

"You know that thing that’s quite the buzz in academia lately? The attosecond pulse light, Expert Bai Mo, have you checked it out?"

Attoseconds?

Pulse light?

Laser in attosecond scale?

Bai Mo shook his head, indicating he had not delved into that area.

"What a pity; this discovery was not made by us in the Jiuzhou region."

"Word is there’s a team here working on it as well?"

"Bah! Science knows no borders!"

At this, they exchanged glances, each with a peculiar smile, breaking into laughter.

"Speaking of which, Expert Bai Mo probably doesn’t know about the recent exchange student program?"

"Some doctoral students from Shangjing University School of Physics have gone to study in the Sakura Region.

"In exchange, the Sakura Region sent one undergraduate to join our Immortal Grass Experimental Class."

Huh?

Bai Mo paused for a moment in bewilderment.

What does this mean?

This exchange sounds a bit weird, doesn’t it?

Wan Bocheng and Yang Zhan responded with sighs.

"I hear the doctoral students we sent were the best at Shangjing University. Strong foundation, experienced in large projects, and they bear achievements. Sending them should bring back genuine knowledge!"

"As for the undergraduate student they sent over to us..."

Wan Bocheng and Yang Zhan exchanged a cunning smile.

"Hehe, Yang Zhan and I have agreed to give him a warm welcome! Start with a cold shoulder and follow it up with a snub."

"And with the cold weather, gift him a pair of small shoes to wear."

"Teach him some Jiuzhou dialects to express friendliness, like ’Tide Tyrant’ and ’Magic Cloak.’

"In short, don’t expect him to take away any of the real stuff from our Immortal Grass Experimental Class... uh... hehe..."

Both of them got carried away talking.

Alongside, Guan Yue Ling, Li Fangfang, and other classmates smiled in response.

"Science knows no borders" is just a nice-sounding empty phrase.

"Even if science has no borders, scientists certainly do!"

As they chatted, they suddenly realized the dining hall had gotten much quieter.

Looking up, they noticed people glancing toward the entrance, where someone seemed to draw everyone’s attention.

It turned out to be Teacher Chen Wenquan, walking in with a girl.

It was the girl who caught everyone’s attention!

She was dressed in jeans and a little blazer, with a perfectly sculpted figure!

With short hair to her ears, snow-white skin!

Her big eyes were round and curious, occasionally looking here and there. There seemed to be a hint of fear, a trace of insecurity in her gaze, like a lost deer searching for a safe haven.

Wan Bocheng and Yang Zhan traded glances.

"Is that Old Chen’s daughter?"

"Grown up now?"

"Could be his niece too."

"She’s so cute."

"I like her face."

"I like her figure."

"She’s my type."

"She’s my type too."

"Fair competition then?"

"You can’t use money power."

Just then, Chen Wenquan approached their table with the girl.

"Haha, what a coincidence, Expert Bai Mo and Wan Bocheng, you’re all here?

Let me introduce you.

Old Chen stepped aside and gestured to the girl behind him.

"She’s the new exchange student in our class, from the Sakura Region.

Her name is Chu Mian."

Yang Zhan and Wan Bocheng laughed and stood up as if they were two eager huskies.

"Hahaha, Chu Mian, welcome to West State!

My name is Wan Bocheng, ranked second in Immortal Grass Experimental Class, you can come to me with any academic questions."

"Hahaha, Chu Mian, welcome to Immortal Grass Experimental Class!

My name is Yang Zhan, my greatest asset is my wealth. I never look at prices when shopping!"

Guan Yue Ling and Li Fangfang were dumbstruck, wondering if all their talk about cold shoulders, snubs, small shoes, magic cloaks still counted.

"Can those two still protect the precious knowledge of our Immortal Grass Experimental Class?"

"Those scoundrels, hard to say.

"They’re no longer normal, they’re like two rowdy mouths now."

Bai Mo was also speechless.

He kept his head down, eating with his fox disciple Honey Peach Cake, ignoring Wan Bocheng and Yang Zhan.

Just then, Chu Mian spoke up, her Chinese was awkward and broken.

"I... I know... Expert Bai Mo!"

Yang Zhan and Wan Bocheng suddenly became tense!

They looked at Bai Mo, and beside Bai Mo was his bodyguard Wu Qingyun... Wu Qingyun was quite pretty too, on par with Chu Mian, except she was a bit expressionless. No way Bai Mo would...

Chu Mian stepped forward, with her hands clasped in front, eyes wide open, her expression even more nervous.

"I... I wonder if... I could follow Expert Bai Mo..."

Bai Mo twitched his mouth.

Seeing this, Old Chen quickly intervened, laughing as he stopped Chu Mian.

"Sorry, Chu Mian, the thing is... um... Expert Bai Mo is not just a student, he’s quite busy with his official duties.

If you want to learn from him, we’ll need to wait for a suitable time to arrange it, okay?

Let’s go get some food first!

Haha, there’re plenty of delicious options at the counter. Come on, I’ll take you there."

Old Chen eased the awkwardness and led Chu Mian away.

Wan Bocheng and Yang Zhan eagerly followed, laughing.

"Chu Mian, what do you like to eat?"

"I have plenty of money on my card, no limit, use mine!"

Guan Yue Ling, Li Fangfang, and others watched their backs in disdain.
