Yun Feng enjoyed the applause from the students below. After a moment, he pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to stop clapping. He then said, "Thank you for your encouragement. Huaxia is now the undisputed number one power in the world, so learning Huaxia culture is a significant and long-term endeavor."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively to his speech, Yun Feng smiled and asked, "I wonder who in our class has the most outstanding achievements in Huayu, so I can get a better understanding."

At Yun Feng's question, everyone subconsciously looked towards Ran Mouri's seat. Sonoko Suzuki, beside Ran, even shot up from her seat, pulling Ran up excitedly as if presenting a treasure, and shouted, "Professor Yun, her name is Ran Mouri! She's our class's Huayu representative, and her Huayu scores are the best in our class! Ran even knows about the Three Kingdoms period of Huaxia!"

Yun Feng nodded. He hadn't expected Ran to be the Huayu representative; this was truly a matter of fate. Only then did he have the opportunity to carefully observe his childhood goddess—Ran Mouri's brown, flowing hair fluttered gently with the breeze from the window, like mischievous little sprites cascading over her shoulders. Her exquisitely beautiful face had a faint blush, and a hint of embarrassment flickered in her light purple eyes, but it couldn't hide the gentleness, kindness, and cheerfulness that emanated from them... Although at this moment Ran was just smiling shyly, it was like a captivating magic that made him feel a wave of relaxation in his heart, as if Ran's smile naturally possessed an irresistible affinity...

Yun Feng didn't know what an angel looked like, but as he looked at the goddess smiling shyly because of Sonoko's words, the word "angel" involuntarily appeared in his mind. Although Yun Feng's grades in school weren't great, Chinese, especially composition, had always been his strong suit; otherwise, he wouldn't have directly requested to teach Huayu. Even so, he was at a loss for words at this moment, and could only use the word "angel" to describe Ran...

Behind Yun Feng, Yun Xiaoyu was looking at her master with surprise. As a professional agent, she had already captured Yun Feng's abnormality just by his back view. Following his gaze to the female student named Ran Mouri, Xiaoyu deeply committed her appearance to memory. This was the first person to make her master act so out of character since arriving in the Island Nation.

Composing himself, Yun Feng nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect our Huayu representative to be a female student. It seems the old Huaxia saying that women are no less than men is truly valid. And from the enthusiastic reaction of the classmate beside her, you two must be very good friends. Please, both of you, sit down." With one sentence, he defused Sonoko's mischief and Ran's embarrassment.

Ran looked at Yun Feng gratefully, pulled Sonoko to sit down, and thought to herself that this Professor Yun was truly worthy of being an expert professor, so tactful and proper.

Next, Yun Feng began to explain the Chinese lesson of the day according to the textbook. Unlike the rigid teachers of the past, Yun Feng used plain, easy-to-understand language interspersed with humorous anecdotes, an unconventional method that made the students listen with great interest, often bursting into roars of laughter at Yun Feng's funny jokes.

Sonoko Suzuki listened to Yun Feng's lecture with sparkling eyes, whispering to Ran beside her, "Hey, if Professor Yun had taught Huayu before, I guarantee my Huayu scores wouldn't be worse than yours."

Ran, beside her, was meticulously taking notes on Yun Feng's key points. Hearing Sonoko's complaint, she couldn't help but smile, but she didn't reply, instead quietly placing her long finger by her rosy lips, making a shushing gesture.

Just as everyone was listening attentively, one boy sat listlessly in his seat, his gaze wandering to the distant scenery outside the window, as if he were daydreaming. This person was Shinichi Kudo. He had originally hoped that this Professor Yun would teach something about criminal psychology, but it turned out to be all Huayu lessons, which he immediately found very boring.

On the podium, Yun Feng had been paying attention to the actions of these plot characters, and Shinichi Kudo's state naturally did not escape his eyes. He chuckled to himself, then gave Yun Xiaoyu a look, subtly pointing in Shinichi Kudo's direction.

Yun Xiaoyu understood. She lightly picked up the blackboard eraser on the podium and casually tossed it towards Shinichi Kudo. Just with such a casual throw, the blackboard eraser flew like an arrow from a bow, rapidly hitting Shinichi Kudo's arm. Whether intentionally or not, it happened to strike his elbow joint.

With a cry of pain, Shinichi Kudo jumped up from his seat. For a moment, his entire arm had been numb from the impact. Now, a sharp pain spread from the joint, so painful that tears almost welled up in his eyes.

"During the professor's class, please do not be distracted," Yun Xiaoyu said coldly. In front of outsiders, she would change her address for Yun Feng, only calling him Master when they were alone or when outsiders couldn't hear.

The incident happened in an instant. Only now did everyone react. Understanding the reason, they all looked at Shinichi Kudo with dissatisfaction, complaining that he had disrupted such a harmonious listening atmosphere. Sonoko Suzuki even heckled, "Just being lightly hit by a girl with a blackboard eraser, and you're making such a fuss. The great high school detective is so pathetic." She didn't mean any harm, it was just her usual way of joking. However, some of the surrounding students, especially some male students, deliberately echoed her. They had long been tired of this Kudo classmate's smug and arrogant attitude just because he had gained a little fame.

Ran also gave Shinichi Kudo a reproachful look, feeling a little annoyed at his lack of tact. She was the Huayu representative, after all; how could he not listen properly in Huayu class in front of the new professor? However, she wasn't bothered by Sonoko's heckling; rather, she was a little worried. As the saying goes, "outsiders see the fun, insiders see the skill." As the captain of the school's karate club and a black belt, she knew that the beautiful girl's casual throw had a speed no less than her own full-power strike. In that situation, even if she had been aware, she wouldn't have been able to dodge the flying blackboard eraser. She hadn't expected Professor Yun's assistant to be so formidable. It seemed the rumors about Professor Yun's mysterious family background were probably true...
