Beibei: "..."
Did I say I wanted to thank you?
Xue Nianbing truly could not learn that shameless quality of his.
"Whew."
Beibei took a deep breath and added, "Brother Xue, I think that was a bit much. Teacher Zhou may be famously strict, but she is still a good teacher. Every student she has taught has been outstanding."
"..."
Xue Nianbing fell silent for a while, somewhat speechless. "Brother Bei, then I have to ask you this: exactly where do you see Zhou Yi as a good teacher?"
"Her so-called high advancement rate was achieved by expelling students."
"Furthermore, her indiscriminate squeezing of her students' potential is, at best, tormenting them, and at worst, draining their future potential."
"I'd wager there are more Soul Masters who hate her than there are Soul Masters she has personally taught."
"Can that count as being a good teacher?"
By the end, Xue Nianbing's voice carried a trace of mockery.
With Zhou Yi's teaching methods, Shrek Academy not dismissing her was already her good fortune, all because of her husband Fan Yu.
Without Fan Yu... heh heh.
"This..."
After hearing Xue Nianbing's words, Beibei was left speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, it actually made sense.
So Zhou Yi had brought it upon herself, and even her suspension had been too light a punishment?
Xue Nianbing could see that Beibei had nothing more to say, so he did not dwell on the matter and instead savored the grilled fish.
"How does it taste?"
Xue Nianbing looked at Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong.
"Not bad."
"Mm."
Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan both responded.
Jiang Nannan ate in small, refined bites, the very picture of a lady, while Wang Dong was far less particular, taking big bites of fish without caring about her image.
"Nannan!"
A sudden voice shattered the relatively peaceful atmosphere.
Everyone turned toward the sound.
The newcomer wore a purple school uniform and was actually a fifth-year student.
He looked about the same age as Beibei. He was tall and broad, with thick brows, tiger-like eyes, a square nose and mouth, and a face with a hint of baby fat.
Seeing him, quite a few people's eyes shifted as gossip flickered across their faces.
They were all old hands at the academy and knew quite a bit about certain matters.
The relationship between Xue Nianbing and Jiang Nannan was obvious at a glance.
This fifth-year black-clad youth was Xu Sanshi, a well-known figure in the Outer Court. Moreover, he was Jiang Nannan's most persistent pursuer.
"Xu Sanshi."
Jiang Nannan frowned slightly, clearly displeased.
She had plainly rejected him many times, yet he still refused to give up. It was truly annoying.
And just when she had finally gotten a chance to spend time with Xue Nianbing, this man had come out to make trouble. He was really ruining the mood.
"Nianbing, his name is Xu Sanshi. He's a fifth-year..." Jiang Nannan explained softly beside Xue Nianbing's ear.
Seeing this scene,
a shadow flashed through Xu Sanshi's eyes.
However, in order to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he still forced a smile. "Nannan, I came to see you because..."
He ignored Xue Nianbing standing before him and walked toward Jiang Nannan.
But before he could get close, Xue Nianbing stepped in front of him.
"What is it?"
Xue Nianbing's voice was cold, and his Golden Eyes were intensely imposing.
Though he was not very old, his bearing was not weak in the slightest. It was even somewhat more terrifying than that of certain people in high positions.
Moreover, Xue Nianbing stood over 1.8 meters tall, taller than Xu Sanshi, giving him a faintly condescending air.
Faced with Xue Nianbing's imposing presence, Xu Sanshi's heart could not help but falter.
But he knew that, under so many watching eyes, he absolutely could not show weakness.
"I'm here to see Nann..."
Xu Sanshi was just about to speak.
Jiang Nannan cut him off. "Xu Sanshi, please address me by my full name, or call me Student Jiang."
"And I've already said this many times. I don't like you. Please have some self-respect."
As soon as those words fell,
many people gathered around to watch the show.
From their experience, today's matter would be difficult to settle peacefully. There might even be some "fist-and-foot interaction."
One was the long-famous Xu Sanshi of the Outer Court.
The other was the monstrous new student, Xue Nianbing.
If conflict broke out between them, who would prove more skilled?
For now, Xue Nianbing held the upper hand. After all, he was brimming with presence, and it was obvious at a glance that he was the man Jiang Nannan admired.
As for Xu Sanshi, he was just a simp.
Rejected in front of so many people, Xu Sanshi's expression turned rather ugly.
"Nannan, I..."
Xu Sanshi still wanted to say something.
However, Xue Nianbing directly raised a hand to interrupt him and said coldly, "You have three seconds. Get out of my sight."
"Three."
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant!"
"Two."
"A new student actually dares to treat a senior like this..."
Bang!
Everyone only saw a black blur flash before their eyes. Looking closer, they discovered that Xu Sanshi had actually been sent flying by a kick from Xue Nianbing.
"Hiss!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Xue Nianbing in disbelief.
He... he really attacked!
Xue Nianbing's gaze was icy as he said flatly, "I gave you face. Since you don't want it, then don't have it. Enjoy the feeling of making a fool of yourself."
At Shrek Academy, Xu Sanshi was definitely one of the many people Xue Nianbing disliked.
Zhou Yi, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin... these people were truly detestable. He could not muster even the slightest favorable impression of them.
If the opportunity arose in the future, he would definitely take their lives.
"Courting death!"
By then, Xu Sanshi had already scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state, his black school uniform stained with dust.
Most notably, there was a clear footprint on his chest.
"You're the shit yourself. Why do you need to look for it?" Xue Nianbing said blandly.
Everyone: "..."
Damn, that was truly the art of language.
It had not been funny at first, but once Xue Nianbing said that, everyone wanted to laugh.
Yet Xu Sanshi's reputation was known throughout the Outer Court.
They did not want to offend him, so they had to struggle to hold back their laughter.
"You're courting death!"
"I'm not looking for you."
"Kid, die!"
"The shit's in the toilet. Go get it yourself."
Xue Nianbing looked at Xu Sanshi charging toward him, his expression utterly calm and his voice even.
Everyone: "..."
One line after another, all about shit. This gossip had quite the flavor to it.
Maybe it would be better not to enjoy this gossip after all?
Still, what followed was sure to be entertaining.
Xue Nianbing had just kicked the unprepared Xu Sanshi flying. Now that Xu Sanshi had adjusted himself and was charging in again, what would the result be?
In principle, upper-year students were not allowed to bully lower-year students.
But hadn't Shrek Academy said that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocrities?
"Sanshi, stop!"
Just as Xu Sanshi and Xue Nianbing were about to clash again, Beibei stepped in front of Xu Sanshi and said sternly, "Sanshi, don't forget that you're a fifth-year student. Xue Nianbing is only a new student."
The outcome of Zhou Yi offending Xue Nianbing was still fresh in his mind.
As Xu Sanshi's brother, he truly did not want to see Xu Sanshi follow in Zhou Yi's footsteps.
Even though Xu Sanshi's status was not low either, Beibei's intuition told him that Xue Nianbing's background was far greater than Xu Sanshi's.
