Among the more than thirty new teachers hired, the male-to-female ratio was seven to three, with males making up the majority. Their ranks ranged from the lowest Soul King to Soul Saint. Ye Cheng felt it was a slight pity that no Soul Douluos or Titled Douluos had applied.
However, on second thought, it was normal. In this world, Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo ranks were truly high-ranking Soul Masters at the pinnacle. Soul Masters of this level possessed both power and influence, and their cultivation had essentially peaked.
How could they possibly deign to come to an academy to be a teacher?
Even if this academy was jointly established by two Limit Douluos, it made no difference. It wasn't about anything else; it was purely a matter of pride.
Of course, if they were recruiting for positions like Vice Dean, then a crowd of Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos would certainly flock there. Ultimately, the teacher position was simply too low, and others looked down on it.
However, with the academy just starting, these thirty-plus teachers were temporarily enough. After all, Ye Cheng didn't plan to recruit too many students in the initial stage; teaching and nurturing people was not that simple. The students he intended to cultivate were not muscle-brained brutes or beasts with only power. Instead, he wanted to cultivate a group of talents who could influence society and change the world.
Lacking experience in the early stages, he could only explore slowly. If there were too many people, he would inevitably be unable to manage them all.
After arranging the positions for these new teachers in the school, the makeshift team of White Cloud Academy was initially set up.
The matters requiring his personal attention were settled; the rest could be handed over to his subordinates.
...
Ye Cheng returned home.
The City Lord's Manor was very large, designed in the style of the Forbidden City. Therefore, its daily maintenance naturally required a large staff. These people included both men and women; they were not eunuchs or palace maids who had sold themselves, but merely hired guards and maids who could resign at any time.
These individuals were basically recruited from the residents within the city, after layers of screening confirmed their clean backgrounds, before being brought into the City Lord's Manor.
The ones responsible for managing these people were the quintuplet maids originally sent by the Auction House. With no mistress yet in the City Lord's Manor, the status of these five maids, who were responsible for Ye Cheng's daily life, was no different from that of a mistress.
Regarding these quintuplet maids, Ye Cheng didn't fully trust them at first, so he used the authority of the Q&A System to check their detailed information.
It turned out that the lives of these five girls were quite tragic. When they were two or three years old, their parents sold them to the Auction House because they were so poor they could barely eat. Fortunately, they later awakened decent Martial Souls, which led to them receiving focused training.
It wasn't until Ye Cheng patronized the Auction House that, to curry favor with him, the Auction House reluctantly gifted these five carefully cultivated girls to him. This was the whole story.
Currently, these five girls showed no problems; they were not spies sent by the Auction House or other forces. As soon as the Auction House presented them to Ye Cheng like goods, they had already severed all ties with it and considered themselves his people. There was no possibility of betrayal.
Ye Cheng had a good impression of these five girls and had originally wanted to find an excuse to give them their freedom. But on second thought, in this world governed by the law of the jungle, giving these five girls their freedom would be a joke. Without his protection, they would likely be devoured in minutes.
Besides, with five great beauties delivered right to his doorstep, why would he let them go? He wouldn't be right in the head if he did.
So in the end, Ye Cheng didn't do much, choosing instead to let nature take its course and enjoy what was given. After all, what man doesn't like beautiful women? Especially when these five beauties also had a strong liking for him; anyone who let them go would be a fool.
...
Upon returning home, a young girl greeted him.
The girl had short, slightly pink hair and wore an elegant dress. She was Yihua, the eldest of the quintuplets. She was usually responsible for managing the manor's income, expenses, and other affairs.
"Master, Miss Ning Rongrong has come to visit. She is currently waiting in the South Garden."
Yihua approached him, tidying his clothes as she did so, acting like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Rongrong..."
Ye Cheng thought of his mischievous younger sister and guessed the reason for her sudden visit. She was probably here for a teaching slot at White Cloud Academy.
After all, during this period, countless people had been desperately trying to become teachers at White Cloud Academy. Many major forces had even tried to secretly or openly place people inside. However, most were eliminated in the preliminary selection.
Regardless of whether they could answer the exam questions correctly, even if they could answer all of them, Ye Cheng would never allow a group of unstable elements into the academy. These individuals were rotten apples who would sooner or later turn the academy into a mess.
And since there was no way to get in as a teacher through normal means, naturally, many people resorted to illicit methods, such as bribery.
Therefore, recently, the three major Single-Attribute Clans, along with some other smaller clans, had all received bribes from people hoping they could help arrange for a few individuals to become teachers.
These people, on the surface, calmly accepted all the bribes, and then the next day, they honestly came to him and reported everything, confessing it all.
If the matter of recruiting teachers had not been solely under his and Sun Zhongjing's full responsibility, some of these individuals might have truly managed to infiltrate.
PS: Okay, okay. The plot regarding the transmigrator has been changed. That part has been deleted, and although the setting hasn't changed, it will have to wait until it is written about later.
