on’t despair.
Since you have transcendent aptitude, you will definitely awaken to an element.”

“Gorgeous principal is probably the only one who can say such things to me.” Zu An couldn’t help but complain.

Jiang Luofu’s face reddened.
“What can we do? There are practically no cultivators in the whole of history who possess transcendent level aptitude, so we don’t have any past experience to use as reference.”

“I guess so.” There was no way Zu An could do anything about it, if even the principal had no idea what to do.
He suddenly thought about the two fire element manuals he had obtained.
“By the way, is there anything I can do if I want to awaken the fire element?”

“Fire element?” Jiang Luofu was surprised.
Chu Chuyan possessed the ice element.
If he awakened the fire element, wouldn’t they clash? “The elemental affinity usually appears on its own as soon as you reach the fifth rank, and isn’t something that can be chosen.
Of course, there have been exceptions.
For example, some with exceptional luck might inherit or encounter certain ability scrolls that can help to awaken a certain element directly.

“However, such circumstances are extremely rare.
Only those with exceptional luck have a chance at this.”

She never expected Zu An to sigh in relief.
“Thank goodness there’s a way.
If it ’s just luck, well, I’m hardly lacking in that department.”

Jiang Luofu was speechless.
She had no idea where his confidence was coming from.

“By the way, you shouldn’t publicly announce what happened between you and those master-ranked cultivators.
Every single master rank cultivator is connected to endless other parties, and you cannot contend against them right now.
I will find a way to contact the Chu clan and help them hide this information for you.
I hope that nothing bad comes about because of this.” Her expression was tinged with worry.
She had a feeling that this matter wasn’t going to end here.

Zu An looked at her.
“Gorgeous principal, you really are too nice to me! I don’t even know how to repay you! Honestly, I don’t have any valuable possessions, so I can only give you my body.”

“Get lost!”

“Okay~”

Zu An left the office in a much better mood.
Even though he still didn’t know how he was going to awaken the fire element, he now knew that it was possible.
It would all work out eventually.

He walked along the campus boulevard, clearly in no mood to join any lectures.
He’d already fought against master rank cultivators, so these classes didn’t seem to mean much to him anymore.

With that in mind, he decided to get some shut eye back in his staff residence.
However, he ended up running into a ravishing beauty along the way.

“Zheng Dan?” He caught sight of the beautiful girl in front of him, and nodded towards her.
She seemed to have grown slightly more plump.
She perfectly encapsulated the bashfulness of a younger girl, and the charm of a young woman.

No wonder the fellow students who passed her by couldn’t resist casting glances in her direction.

Hmph! All of you are just perverts without any real guts!

If you like her, why don’t you walk up to her and let her know? I guess you guys aren’t as handsome as me, so you won’t get much from her.
But, whatever the outcome, you’ll at least be able to talk to your goddess.

“Greetings, Teacher Zu.” A hint of redness colored Zheng Dan’s face.

“I see that student Zheng is still as polite as ever.
This teacher is pleased.” Zu An also enjoyed this act that they put up in front of everyone else.

“I heard that something happened to Teacher.
Now that I’ve seen that Teacher has returned safely, this student can feel at ease.” Her words were well-practiced and totally appropriate.

“Was student Zheng worried about me?” Zu An asked with a smile.

“Of… course.” Zheng Dan’s face grew redder.
She looked around her guiltily.
“By the way, I have some questions regarding arithmetic that I could use Teacher’s help with.”

Zu An knew that she wanted to talk to him in private.
He nodded.
“Let’s talk as we walk.”

The two of them walked along a secluded path in the academy.
To anyone else, Zheng Dan looked like an earnest student, asking questions with a book in hand.

All who saw her admired her.
Miss Zheng really was hardworking! She actually studied arithmetic so earnestly, without her cultivation falling behind.

Of course, some scions of other major clans felt that first miss Zheng had been unduly burdened by the Zheng clan.
There were many business matters that had to be taken care of within the Zheng clan, and Zheng Dan had no choice but to spend some more time working on her arithmetic.
If this weren’t so, her cultivation would surely have been higher than what it was right now.

None of these bystanders had any idea that the two of them had secretly linked hands while walking.
What arithmetic questions? They were using her book to hide their passion!

“Ah Zu, I’m actually here as a representative of my future father-in-law to conduct a business transaction with you.” Although Zheng Dan’s face had turned red from his earlier teasing, she hadn’t forgotten her reason for seeking him out.

Zu An was stunned.
“What transaction?” 

Zheng Dan looked at him with her large eyes.
“He wants the medicine that you have.”
