Douluo's Top Actress and the Tea Qi Lawbringer

Zhou Yi's words had indeed gone too far. Even the students of Class Nine wore indignant expressions.

Though they had only spent a week together, the teachers and students of Class Nine had all seen Qian Mu's character for themselves. Aside from the strength she had displayed when running for class monitor, she had never acted arrogantly toward her classmates or Teacher Mu. She always wore a smile and was exceptionally gentle. Many of the girls even envied Qian Fei for having such a powerful, gentle older sister.

Even when facing a teacher, Class Nine's students were not afraid. They had reason on their side, so what was there to be cowardly about?

"Teacher Zhou, what do you mean by that?!"

"As a teacher, you're slandering a student without any evidence. Isn't that going too far?!"

"Qian Mu is our class monitor! We won't let you insult her however you please!!"

Originally, Zhou Yi had wanted to establish her authority and recover some of the dignity of being a homeroom teacher by imposing harsher punishments on these Class One students who had no sense and forgot how to walk at the sight of a pretty girl.

But before she could finish, Mu Jin unexpectedly refused to yield this time and metaphorically smacked her over the head with a ruler. The Class Nine students were also seething with outrage, forcing her to swallow the rest of her words.

Since class had ended around dinnertime, students from the other freshman classes had heard the commotion and come over out of curiosity. The crowd of onlookers kept growing.

"You..." Zhou Yi felt as though she had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice she used as bait.

A somewhat tall boy stepped out of the classroom as well, seemingly shielding the teachers and students of Class Nine behind him.

"Teacher Zhou, what you said was indeed a little excessive."

It was Dai Huabin.

Qian Mu looked at the tall boy standing in front of her. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly before a hint of interest appeared in them.

Dai Huabin glanced back briefly, then faced Zhou Yi without being either servile or overbearing. "Teacher Zhou, as a teacher, how could you slander a student for no reason? Miss Qian Mu is our class monitor. I know she had a conflict with your Class One monitor, but as far as I know, your Class One monitor was at fault first. Miss Qian Mu retaliated in self-defense, and there was nothing wrong with that. If Teacher Zhou is holding a grudge against a twelve-year-old girl over something like this, isn't that rather narrow-minded?"

This guy was actually speaking up for Qian Mu?!

Not only Mu Jin, but even Qian Mu, the Lawbringer herself, found it rather surprising.

Dai Huabin was indeed somewhat arrogant, but that did not mean he was foolish or incapable of restraint. Besides, Qian Mu had defeated him fair and square in the contest for class monitor, and afterward, she had never said anything humiliating or demeaning to him.

As the saying went, leave some room for others, and you might meet again someday. Thus, Dai Huabin did not bear Qian Mu too much of a grudge. He merely accepted that he had been lacking and needed more practice.

Ultimately, Qian Mu was not Huo Yuhao. There was neither enmity nor resentment between her and Dai Huabin. There was no need to make their future years as classmates unpleasant over a class monitor position.

With Dai Huabin stepping forward, the aura around him blocked most of Zhou Yi's pressure. Even the Class One students gathered their courage.

"Teacher Zhou, I also think your words were too harsh!!"

"That's right! What did Sister Qian Mu ever do to you?!"

"Class Monitor Wang Dong lost because he was too weak. You're making things difficult for a freshman like this—I really can't stand watching it!"

A large group of people shielded the delicate Shuangxue Sisters behind them, determined to seek justice for them.

Qian Mu looked as though she had been moved as well, wiping at the corners of her eyes. "Thank you, everyone... But she's your homeroom teacher. If you do this..."

Oh heavens, how could such an angel exist?!

Seeing that Qian Mu was still thinking of them, the children from Classes One and Nine felt even more protective of her.

Yet apart from Zhou Yi, no one noticed the sly smiles Qian Mu and Qian Fei gave her.

Trying to play mind games with a Ten Thousand Years actress and a Tea Qi Lawbringer who could stand shoulder to shoulder with a thousand people? You were still far too inexperienced!!

"Fine, fine, fine!" Zhou Yi was so furious that she said "fine" three times in a row. "You think this is very interesting, do you?! Then I am formally informing you ungrateful little brats that you have been expelled!!"

Mu Jin smiled faintly and shook her head, looking around at the former Class One students. "What, Zhou Yi? You're going to expel them all over such trivial matters?"

"That's right. Anyone who violates the rules I set will be expelled from the academy." Zhou Yi cast Mu Jin a provocative glance. "Just like how your younger brother was expelled back then!"

"You!" Mu Jin immediately gritted her teeth in fury, but her smile quickly returned. The sudden burst of Soul Power around her instantly forced Zhou Yi back!

Her broad arms immediately shielded the trembling former Class One students behind her as she declared imperiously, "If you don't want these twenty students, then they're mine!!"

The former Class One students were stunned, followed by heartfelt gratitude. "Teacher Mu Jin..."

It had only been two days since school started. Who knew what miserable days they had endured under that old hag Zhou Yi? Yet because of the disparity in status and strength, no one had ever been willing to stand up for helpless lambs like them against Zhou Yi, that female demon.

Now, Mu Jin was the first to stand forward, defend them, openly oppose Zhou Yi, and declare, "If you don't want them, I do." It truly moved these children to the utmost.

"You... want to take all twenty of my students at once?" Zhou Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant.

The week before school started had originally been the period when she was most accustomed to establishing her authority. Things had been going rather smoothly, but then Qian Mu had emerged from Class Nine. Her prized student Wang Dong had gone to test the waters, only to nearly test himself into the grave!

Then the other girl's younger sister had revealed the truth in front of everyone, and that assist had completely disrupted Zhou Yi's plans!

With so many students rebelling at once, she had originally hoped to use the authority of a homeroom teacher to severely punish these little brats. Then the other students in the class who lacked the courage to come over would see what she looked like when she was truly angry, and in the future, no one would dare object to her orders.

This was also Zhou Yi's usual tactic: using an example to cow the rest of her class.

Yet she had not only underestimated Qian Mu's strength, but also her charisma! Now it was over. If she really lost twenty students at once, all of whom had considerable talent...

It would make Freshman Class One, which only had fifty students left to begin with, even worse off. Zhou Yi was practically about to become a commander without an army.

Mu Jin thought this was her favorite episode.

"That's right, Zhou Yi. Don't forget that both of us are homeroom teachers for freshman classes. You have the right to expel your own students from the academy, and I likewise have the right to let them join my class!"

Zhou Yi's expression stiffened as she shifted her gaze to those twenty youthful faces, revealing an even more threatening look in her eyes.

Clearly, if these children truly dared to transfer to Mu Jin's Class Nine, she would make sure not to stop making things difficult for these ungrateful little brats.

Seeing the vicious, savage look Zhou Yi sent their way, the children shrank behind Mu Jin like frightened kittens.

At that moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind them. Qian Fei's little face was full of courage as she said fiercely in an adorably threatening tone, "Everyone, come over here. Don't be afraid. Teacher Mu will definitely protect us!"

Perfect expression! Perfect tone! Perfect movements! She truly deserved to be Douluo Continent's top actress from Ten Thousand Years ago!!
