Teacher Zhi's True Identity

Teacher Zhi really knew how to yield when necessary.

Hearing Teacher Zhi's sincere words, Ning Weiyang found it hard not to forgive her.

After all, Teacher Zhi had not made any grave mistake, and her attitude in admitting fault was good...

Just as Ning Weiyang had expected.

When Meng Shenji saw Teacher Zhi's attitude, he clearly hesitated.

In the end, he waved his hand. "Enough. Don't make this kind of mistake again. I'll find you another assistant. From now on, you and another teacher will manage Class C together."

"Alright. Thank you, Education Committee."

Teacher Zhi let out a breath of relief and hurriedly took her leave.

She only wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

The reason Meng Shenji had made that decision was still because he had to consider the backing behind Teacher Zhi.

This matter alone was not enough to drive Teacher Zhi out of the academy.

She was not stupid. Since she had admitted her mistake so quickly, they could not make things too difficult for her.

Otherwise, it would make them seem as though they were deliberately targeting her.

Bai Baoshan sighed softly. He was not satisfied with the outcome, but he could not show it too obviously in front of Ning Weiyang.

With a smile, he reached out and rubbed Ning Weiyang's head. "Little Weiyang, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on! Eat with your uncles!"

Zhi Lin also chimed in, putting the earlier unpleasantness behind them. "Little Weiyang, eat whatever you want today. Your uncles are treating you—eat as much as you like!"

Seeing what they were thinking, Ning Weiyang cooperatively brightened up. "Yay!"

She happily followed Bai Baoshan and the others to eat, looking as though nothing had happened.

After the meal, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin left the dining hall first.

They had matters to attend to.

At the table, only Ning Weiyang, who was still eating, and Meng Shenji, who had already finished and was watching Ning Weiyang with a complicated expression, remained.

Ning Weiyang noticed the way Meng Shenji was looking at her, but she did not pay much attention to it right away.

Only after she had eaten and drunk her fill did she look up and meet Meng Shenji's eyes. "Uncle Meng, what's wrong?"

Ning Weiyang looked at Meng Shenji in confusion, blinking her big sparkling eyes.

Meng Shenji's expression grew even more complicated as he looked at such an "innocent" Ning Weiyang.

"Nothing. Are you full, Little Weiyang?"

After thinking it over, he still felt that it was not good to tell a child about scheming and intrigue.

Teacher Zhi would not make things difficult for Ning Weiyang again, and Ning Weiyang would be going to Spirit Hall Academy before long. Whether he said some things or not would not make much difference.

Ning Weiyang obediently nodded, patting her stomach. "I'm full!"

The sight of adorable Ning Weiyang made Meng Shenji's heart soften.

He reminded her, "Alright, then go back to your dormitory and rest. Go to Class C tomorrow afternoon. And remember not to be late for the morning theory lecture."

"Okay."

Ning Weiyang answered.

Seeing that Meng Shenji had not mentioned Teacher Zhi's identity, she could not help but take the initiative. "By the way, Uncle Meng, why was Teacher Zhi targeting me? I feel like she really dislikes me, but it was my first time meeting her?"

"..."

Ning Weiyang's question stumped Meng Shenji.

After a pause.

Even the most foolish child could sense whether an adult liked them or not, let alone someone as perceptive as Ning Weiyang.

Meng Shenji had thought Ning Weiyang did not care about such things, but unexpectedly...

Sigh.

So be it.

Telling her some things could also prevent certain problems.

"Teacher Zhi's real name is Ge Zhi. She is the niece of Marshal Golong, the Empire's Grand Marshal. She was placed here by Marshal Golong. She has little learning, but she has achieved something in combat techniques."

"Little Weiyang, you must understand that on this continent, the strong are revered. This is even more true among soul masters. The reason she showed such dislike for you is probably because of that."
