Beneath the snowflake trees, Vice Dean Xuan was looking this way.
And Xu Yi seemed to be heading straight toward where Vice Dean Xuan was.
"What... what is he trying to do?"
Black-faced Supervisor murmured.
Yuan Pan had already hurried off, heading toward Xu Yi.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Vice Dean."
Xu Yi smiled.
His perception was keen; he had sensed Vice Dean Xuan the moment she arrived.
As he ate and drank his fill, he quietly sensed Vice Dean Xuan's graceful figure wandering beneath the snowflake trees, as if watching a performance.
But now, he couldn't afford to delay any longer. If he did, he'd run out of time.
"I've been standing beneath these snowflake trees, thinking for a long time, and I still can't figure out whether you're unafraid of death or simply don't know what death is. Could you enlighten me?"
Vice Dean Xuan said expressionlessly.
As Xu Yi approached, she had considered leaving. But then she thought, since she had nothing to hide, why be so evasive? Sneaking away would only give people more to gossip about.
Just as Xu Yi was about to speak, Yuan Pan rushed over like a gust of wind. Whether from excitement or something else, his face was bright red. He kept his head down, not daring to look Vice Dean Xuan in the eye, and hurriedly said, "I report to you, Vice Dean Xuan: Xu Yi insulted the head of the South Academy and slandered Instructor Xu. Supervisor Cai can testify to this. I beg you to punish him severely."
Whether the rumors about Vice Dean Xuan and Xu Yi were true was the subject of much speculation, but there was no way to verify them.
But everyone knew of the feud between Xu Yi and Vice Dean Xuan.
