Zhou Yi Surrounded (Please Follow)

Xiao Xiao bared her fangs in a fierce snarl.

This annoying senior just loved to pick on her.

Even if she were starving, she would still wait for Zhang Lexuan to finish eating before she started; this girl just spent all day twisting her words.

"I didn't say that. If that's the case, Senior, why don't you give up your seat next to Zhang Lexuan?"

Ma Xiaotao retorted tit-for-tat: "Then why don't you give up your seat next to Zhang Lexuan?"

The two of them just glared at each other, the air thick with the scent of gunpowder.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Sheng and Zhang Lexuan paid no mind to these two childish girls, choosing instead to feast heartily on the food in their hands.

Let those two bicker if they wanted to; they were the ones on guard duty tonight anyway, so they might as well make sure they were well-rested for the night ahead.

Zhou Yi, sitting to the side, also finished her meal with great efficiency.

This place was a fairly well-known supply station, and most people would stop by to take a look.

As it happened, it wasn't too crowded today, so she should be able to replicate the scene that the disciples of Yu Xiaogang had experienced ten thousand years ago.

Zhou Yi set down her chopsticks and carefully scanned the crowd for suitable candidates.

Her eyes lit up when she saw a group of academy students walk in from outside.

Was this academy called something like Blue Sky Academy?

But that was completely unimportant...

The few members of Blue Sky Academy did not choose to disperse; instead, six or seven of them huddled in a circle, arms draped over each other's shoulders, waiting for the waiter to serve their food.

They were all dressed in uniform sky-blue outfits, accented with intricate silk patterns.

As soon as their lead teacher sat down, he began chatting with his students.

"Lan Ya, he is the first little genius among you to obtain a third soul ring," the mentor said with a rather proud smile.

"You all need to learn from him. You only know how to slack off all day long. If you worked hard, I could help you hunt soul beasts too, instead of just standing by and watching like you are now."

"If this continues, your good talent will only go to waste in the end," the lead teacher sighed, sounding frustrated that they wouldn't live up to their potential.

"Actually, they don't have any talent at all."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, and the restaurant fell deathly silent.

Upon seeing the neat Blue Sky Academy uniforms, everyone shifted their attention toward them.

But most people were waiting to see what would happen next.

After all, everyone here was a soul master; if they didn't choose to use a soul master's way of fighting, what else were they waiting for?

"These young men are certainly tall and well-built." Zhou Yi stared intently at the group opposite her, specifically at the one the teacher had called Lan Ya.

"But in my eyes, they are all at the level of trash."

It had to be said that, thanks to the memories and experience of Yu Xiaogang, her eye for talent was truly excellent.

The guy called Lan Ya had hands that, aside from looking somewhat uncoordinated with the rest of his limbs, were also prone to using far too much force.

One could tell from the small objects he had crushed earlier that he wasn't actually very familiar with his own strength.

This Lan Ya's martial soul wasn't like his name; instead, it was his hands. At his age, such talent was quite poor.

Even if he possessed a body martial soul, if the talent wasn't there, it simply wasn't there.

Zhou Yi adopted the same attitude she used with her own students, only sharper, because while her academy had students with genuine talent, these people here...

Heh...

"What did you say?"

The group from Blue Sky Academy stood up with a sudden clatter, a dozen eyes glaring fiercely at the outspoken Zhou Yi.

They hadn't expected that they would be mocked from behind while simply discussing their own affairs; it was truly intolerable.

When they saw the emblem on her clothing, they were somewhat shocked, not expecting her to be a teacher from Shrek, the number one soul master academy on the continent.

That place was not only a destination for every student, but also the only academy that teachers like them envied.

But even if she was from Shrek, she couldn't just disregard them like this, looking at them with such disdain and arrogance.

It was Shrek that was impressive, not you, you old hag—what are you acting so high and mighty for?

At the table nearby.

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at Zhou Yi, who had just mocked the group at the next table, with a face full of question marks.

What is this terrifying old lady doing?

But even seeing the faint, cunning smile on Zhou Yi's face, Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't quite wrap his head around it.

Don't tell me this woman's addiction to playing the teacher has flared up again.

That, honestly, was not entirely impossible.

Zhou Yi seemed to spend every day studying the rare manuscripts of Yu Xiaogang that she had obtained from who knows where.

If that was the case, was she trying to lecture the Blue Sky Academy group next door because she had become obsessed with her research?

Just as Xuanyuan Sheng was thinking this, he seemed to recall something; he vaguely remembered the general content, which seemed to be saying.

Not daring to cause trouble is for the mediocre.

"Sister Xiaotao, let's move to that empty corner over there, ignore her."

Xuanyuan Sheng winked at Ma Xiaotao beside him to remind her.

Zhang Lexuan would protect everyone on the team and certainly wouldn't let Zhou Yi get beaten up, and since Xiao Xiao's former homeroom teacher was Zhou Yi after all, she couldn't heartlessly watch her get beaten up either.

Ma Xiaotao understood immediately, using the surging power that Xiao Xiao could not possess to cover her, then grabbed her and carried her to a spot near the window where there were fewer people.

Xuanyuan Sheng was responsible for Zhang Lexuan; the scene in a moment would definitely be violent, so it was better to move early.

He immediately led everyone to the other side.

Yet Zhou Yi did not notice at all when the people behind her had left.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi said that line to the few people in front of her: "Not daring to cause trouble is for the mediocre."

Xuanyuan Sheng shrugged, feeling speechless after hearing this line.

Then have you ever heard that more friends mean more paths?

To make enemies without any malice, isn't that just pure insanity?

When Zhou Yi wanted to call the few people beside her.

She discovered that there was no one behind her, and her heart skipped a beat.

What is going on? Weren't Xiao Xiao and the others just sitting behind her a moment ago? How did everyone disappear the moment she turned around?

The people from Blue Sky Academy saw Zhou Yi looking left and right, and the anger in their hearts grew deeper.

"Don't say we are bullying the old with the young, old lady."

"At your age, you must surely be a widely respected Title Douluo. Beating me, a Soul Emperor, plus these little guys with two rings, should be as easy as turning over your hand."

The lead teacher clenched his fists, his face calm.

Wanting to be ganged up on, you brought this upon yourself, old lady.

If you want to look down on ordinary soul masters from on high, if we don't beat you, who would we beat?

You aren't that kind of Title Douluo with overwhelming strength who can scare us off with just a glance, and you...

The aura emanating from your body doesn't even seem to be higher than his.

Do you understand that what people fear is only Shrek Academy, not you, a mere teacher?
