"Mm."
Ma Xiaotao nodded and obediently sat down on the sofa.
Ever since learning of her teacher and the academy's "sacrifice," along with her teacher's wife's various pieces of advice, she had gradually begun to rein in her hot temper.
She knew that she could not do without Xue Nianbing, nor could the academy.
For this treatment, the academy had paid a great price. She absolutely could not keep acting willfully.
To be fair, Ma Xiaotao was merely impulsive and quick-tempered. When clear-headed, she was still very sensible.
"Dean Cai, please stand guard."
"Alright."
After receiving Cai Meier's reply, Xue Nianbing slowly walked behind Ma Xiaotao, circulated the Soul Power within him, and released his Extreme Ice Martial Soul.
"Crack, crack..."
As his Martial Soul was released, frost spread outward with Xue Nianbing at its center.
Without hesitation, Xue Nianbing immediately guided the frigid aura of Extreme Ice into Ma Xiaotao's body, using Soul Power and spiritual power to search for the "root of the Evil Fire."
Very soon, Xue Nianbing's consciousness detected the Evil Fire.
At this moment, a thin ice-blue layer of ice covered the area around the Evil Fire.
This was the "gift" Xue Nianbing had left behind when he suppressed it last time.
Seeing the Evil Fire restrained by the ice layer, Xue Nianbing immediately increased his Soul Power output and reinforced the ice layer with the chill of Extreme Ice.
This time, it took far longer than expected.
Mainly because there was a difference of more than ten levels between Xue Nianbing's Soul Power Level and Ma Xiaotao's. Furthermore, the suppression required his full concentration, making it a major undertaking.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.
Wang Dong had come by midway through. In
