Killing Them and Breaking Their Spirits

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's beaming smile, Xun'er's lips kept twitching. Then, relying on her formidable mental fortitude, she forcefully suppressed the resentment in her heart and instead revealed an exceptionally sweet smile.

"Xiao Yi Xian, it's been a long time."

To her surprise, Xiao Yi Xian raised a finger and lightly wagged it, putting on the air of an elder as she pretended to lecture her in dissatisfaction.

"That won't do, Sister Xun'er. You should call me Teacher Xiao Yi Xian, shouldn't you?"

"...I graduated from Jia Nan Academy many years ago. I shouldn't need to anymore, right?"

Xun'er's shoulders trembled, but the smile on her face did not change. Her attitude remained as calm as ever, while Xiao Yi Xian put on a deeply disappointed and resentful expression as she tilted her head slightly.

"Sigh~ I was your teacher for two whole years. Are you really that unwilling to call me Teacher?"

"..."

Xun'er still maintained that smile, but her brows were already twitching unconsciously.

What two years as a teacher? You only stayed properly at the academy for half a year! Didn't Brother Xiao Yan drag you off to the Black Corner Region to help for the rest of the time? And you were a teacher from the Medical Department—you never even taught us a single class. Whether you even counted as a teacher was another question entirely!

Hoo~ Calm down, calm down.

Xun'er forcefully endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Her purpose this time was singular and clear: she had come for Xiao Yan. There was no need to clash with Xiao Yi Xian over a momentary burst of resentment.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao Yi Xian. Xun'er was discourteous."

Xun'er did not continue tangling with Xiao Yi Xian and simply
