Student Ning Weiyang, I'm Sorry

Teacher Zhi froze on the spot when she heard those words.

What?

She had said that?

When had she ever said something like that?

Though it was only a few short sentences, Ning Weiyang's grievance and confusion filled every word. As the three Education Committee members listened to her, their expressions grew even gloomier.

They looked at Teacher Zhi, their oppressive presence bearing down on her.

Teacher Zhi swallowed, wanting to explain herself.

But Zhi Lin gave her no chance, saying coldly, "Your apology should be directed at Little Weiyang, not us."

"Little Weiyang's Soul Power Level is among the best in Class C. What gives you the right to look down on her and not want her in your class?"

Meng Shenji added.

Both of their tones were icy.

Just hearing their voices made Teacher Zhi tremble all over.

Bai Baoshan stepped forward and patted Ning Weiyang on the shoulder, gently comforting her. "Little Weiyang, don't mind what she said. You're a rare genius unlike any our academy has seen since its founding. Not just any riffraff gets to judge you. Cultivate diligently from now on, and slap her in the face with your results!"

Zhi Lin and Meng Shenji were responsible for pressuring Teacher Zhi, while Bai Baoshan was responsible for comforting Ning Weiyang.

Ning Weiyang was still young. They could not let her suffer any psychological trauma.

If something truly went wrong with her mentally, that would be terrible.

How could a child with thirteenth-level Soul Power at just six years old lack confidence in herself?

After all, at least eighty percent of Soul Masters on the continent might not even have thirteenth-level Soul Power by the age of ten.

With Ning Weiyang's starting point, she could certainly be called a genius.

Listening to Bai Baoshan's comforting words, Ning Weiyang slowly raised her head.

She met Bai Baoshan's gaze. He gave her a slight smile, giving her confidence.

Then, the insecurity in her eyes gradually transformed into determination. She nodded heavily. "Okay! Uncle Bai, I'll cultivate hard and slap them in the face with my results!"

"Mm."

Bai Baoshan nodded in satisfaction.

He could not have liked Ning Weiyang more.

A child who was easy to comfort was a virtue too.

Seeing that Ning Weiyang had recovered, Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin no longer pressed Teacher Zhi as hard.

But Meng Shenji had no intention of letting the matter pass so easily.

"Since you look down on Little Weiyang, there's no need for you to continue teaching Class C."

"A teacher as blind as you probably can't teach those children well either."

Taking this opportunity, Meng Shenji transferred Teacher Zhi away.

Teacher Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and astonishment appeared on her face.

"Education Committee, this is..."

She wanted to invoke her backing.

But Meng Shenji gave her no such chance. "Teacher Zhi, you cannot deny your prejudice and poor judgment. If the academy were to lose a genius like Little Weiyang, do you know how great a loss that would be for the academy?"

"Or rather, do you know how great a loss that would be for the Empire?"

Meng Shenji continued to apply pressure.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been established with funding from the Heaven Dou Empire.

The reasoning behind this was obvious.

Once Heaven Dou Royal Academy produced a talent like Ning Weiyang, someone unaffiliated with any sect or family, the imperial family would certainly recruit her.

What was more, Xue Qinghe's attitude had already made it very clear.

Ning Weiyang already had one foot in the imperial family.

Teacher Zhi broke out in a cold sweat as she listened to Meng Shenji's words.

Her mind raced, and she naturally understood what Meng Shenji meant.

Even if she had backing, it could not possibly compare to a genius who had reached thirteenth-level Soul Power at six years old.

If this matter reached her granduncle, there would be no better outcome for her either.

Teacher Zhi gritted her teeth lightly.

"Student Ning Weiyang, I'm sorry. I was blind, and I made baseless assumptions about you without properly investigating the truth of the matter. Three Education Committee members, please forgive me. I will never make such a low-level mistake again, nor will I ever treat any student differently. Please give me another chance!"
