Begin Teaching

"Um..."

"Just call me Ah Fu."

"Ah Fu, is there anything I should be careful about when meeting Miss Li Mucheng?"

Ah Fu's expression here is quite intriguing, seeming to suggest that Ye Feng will likely have a very unpleasant time with Li Mucheng in the future.

"Miss Li Mucheng, aside from being a bit cold and... strong-willed, is actually a very good girl."

"......"

Ye Feng could almost feel that Ah Fu was straining to praise Li Mucheng.

"Ye... Ye Feng, Miss Li Mucheng is actually very nice, it's just that..."

At that moment, a door suddenly swung open, and Li Mucheng emerged, disdainfully, wearing a purple dress.

Ye Feng had to agree with the notion that Li Mucheng was a cold beauty, for she was indeed stunning. Even in a simple, monochrome dress with no extra adornments, she stood out as the most dazzling presence in the room. However, her eyes seemed to express a clear dislike for him.

Li Mucheng's tightly furrowed eyebrows slightly relaxed upon seeing Ye Feng, suggesting that either his appearance or something else had given him a slight advantage.

"Are you the private tutor my father sent?"

Li Mucheng said unhappily, crossing her arms and sizing up Ye Feng.

Strange... why does this guy give me a sense of déjà vu? Have I met him before?

Ye Feng knew this was his chance to show himself, stepping forward and nodding slightly.

"Yes, Miss Li Mucheng, my name is Ye Feng, and I am..."

"What can you teach me?"

Before Ye Feng could finish, Li Mucheng interrupted, clearly intending to pick a fight with him.

Ah Fu, sensing trouble, was about to intervene, but to his surprise, Ye Feng retorted without hesitation.

"I can teach you how to be a human."

"What do you mean by that!"

Li Mucheng glared at Ye Feng, her resentment evident.

"Interrupting someone before they finish speaking, is that the education you received, Miss Li? It seems you really need me to teach you a lesson."

Ye Feng's gaze did not waver, meeting Li Mucheng's head-on. He wasn't like the servants who would indulge her; he was here to be her teacher.

"How dare you! Ah Fu, get him..."

Li Mucheng turned to order Ah Fu to throw Ye Feng out, only to find that Ah Fu had already disappeared.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, a gardener was watering the flowers when he suddenly found his hose had been taken. Turning around, he saw Ah Fu whistling and doing his own work.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing?"

"Just strolling around."

"Oh..."

......

"Hmph, what's your name?"

"Ye Feng."

"Ye Feng, I remember you."

Li Mucheng turned to head back to her room, having never intended to let this so-called tutor teach her anything.

"Miss Li Mucheng, I advise you to be a good student."

"Oh? Do you have the guts to come into my room?"

Li Mucheng snorted coldly, not even glancing at Ye Feng as she entered her room.

"Tsk... What a stubborn child. Well, it's time for Uncle... ahem, for this teacher to give you a proper lesson."

Ye Feng said, knocking on Li Mucheng's door.

"Miss Li, it's time to come out for your lesson."

"I said I don't need any teacher, and you're not my teacher!"

"Heh."

Looking at the closed door, Ye Feng shrugged helplessly. With Li Mucheng's temperament, no wonder she was called a cold beauty.

Ye Feng didn't rush; instead, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. The more anxious you are with Li Mucheng, the more she'll resist. Everything must be done with patience.

After hearing no movement outside her room, Li Mucheng snorted disdainfully. She figured Ye Feng must have gone to complain to her father, which wasn't unusual.

As time passed, Li Mucheng was puzzled to find that she hadn't received any messages, even wondering if her phone was malfunctioning.

What is that man doing? Why is there no sound at all?

Curious, Li Mucheng quietly opened the door a crack to observe the outside.

Through the crack, she vaguely saw a figure leisurely lying on the sofa, her tutor Ye Feng.

Is he sleeping? How dare he? Doesn't he fear I'll tell my father and get him fired?

Despite her doubts, Li Mucheng pushed the door open and walked out.

Seeing Li Mucheng emerge, Ye Feng stretched and sat up as if he had really been resting. "Oh, Miss Li, finally decided to come out."

"You... aren't you afraid I'll tell my father about your current state?"

Seeing Li Mucheng bring up Li Jing, Ye Feng remained unfazed, lazily yawning.

"Do as you please, Miss Li. I'm just doing my job."

"Sleeping is your job?"

"It's Miss Li who isn't cooperating, which has nothing to do with me. Please don't twist the facts."

"I said I don't need a tutor! You..."

"I've read the reports, Miss Li. You were kidnapped recently, weren't you?"

Suddenly, Ye Feng changed the subject, interrupting Li Mucheng.

"So what if I was?"

"Don't you want to get revenge on the people who kidnapped you?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Mucheng recalled the fear instilled by the fox-masked man and the unforgettable flick on her forehead.

"You... do you have a way?"

"Of course, tracking is an essential part of the curriculum."

"Alright then, if you can help me find that person, I'll give you the best treatment. But if you can't..."

"Disappear from my sight immediately."

"Deal."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a system notification rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, the illustrated progress has reached 10%, gaining the skill 'Mastery of Knowledge']

Mastery of Knowledge (Primary): Like an encyclopedia, it covers knowledge in many areas but is not proficient or expert.

Well, that's a useful thing to have, just right for the teacher's profession. But why is the progress increasing so fast? It was only one percent just now.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?"

"Huh? Oh, Miss Li, you were saying?"

"When do we start the lessons?"

Ye Feng glanced at the bright sunny day outside and turned back to answer.

"Now."

......

"Sir."

"Have you found anything?"

"I'm sorry, sir. According to the latest captured gang of kidnappers, they said they were originally hired by another group, but someone else actually kidnapped Miss Li. We haven't been able to find any trace of that person."

"Then keep looking. I don't believe he can just vanish into thin air."

"Yes, sir."
