With the mentality that they would rather kill by mistake than let go, Shrek Academy included Xia Linyuan and Dai Huabin, who had a grudge against Zhou Yi and had the ability and background to cause such a situation, as suspects, but they did not think that they would do this.
They believed that although Dai Huabin was arrogant and vengeful, it had been nine months since Zhou Yi threw him out of the classroom. Normally, he would never hold back such a grudge for so long, and it was impossible for him not to consider the existence of the Shrek Academy.
Although White Tiger Duke Mansion is considered a behemoth to the Douluo Continent, even the four empires have to give three points to the Shrek Academy, not to mention that Dai Huabin is only one of the two heirs capable of inheriting White Tiger Duke Mansion. On his head, there is such a big mountain like his eldest brother Dai Yueheng.
As for Xia Linyuan, they think it is even more impossible.
After all, the grudge between Xia Linyuan and Zhou Yi is not a serious grudge at all. Is it unusual for a teacher to punish the squad leader just to scare the monkey? As a general of a country, Xia Linyuan is not so stingy, right?
Even if he is such a stingy person, there is no need for Xia Linyuan to endure it until this point, right? Even if it is just to search for evidence, with his ability, there is no need to endure Zhou Yi for such a long time.
In this way, the only two suspects with ideas were eliminated by them.
I'm afraid Shrek Academy will never think in his lifetime that the mastermind behind all this - Xia Linyuan, did not plan for a long time at all, but Shi Xing started it all.
While Shrek Academy was busy discussing compensation matters with those families whose children had suffered persecution at the hands of Zhou Yi, Inverted Clone came here.
"Teacher Naiya, can I come in?"
Inverted Clone's office door was knocked, and at the same time, Ma Xiaotao's voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and Ma Xiaotao in a blood-red school uniform walked in.
There seems to be something wrong with Ma Xiaotao's pretty face is flushed, and there is a faint red light looming on her body.
Inverted Clone can tell at a glance that Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire is starting to get out of control again.
Without the emergency rescue of Huo Yuhao in the original work, Evil Fire of Ma Xiaotao actually broke out at this time.
"Please sit down." Inverted Clone nodded slightly to her.
"Naiya teacher, excuse me."
The pretty and blushing Ma Xiaotao was about to pull up a chair and sit next to Inverted Clone, but the ordinary chair turned into a pile of coke the moment she touched it.
"Uh..." Ma Xiaotao smiled awkwardly.
Inverted Clone saw this scene, "..."
He didn't say anything, nor did he pay attention to Ma Xiaotao. Instead, he picked up the documents on the table and browsed them boredly.
Ma Xiaotao didn't say anything and silently went to sit next to Inverted Clone on the floor.
Just when Ma Xiaotao was half a meter away from Inverted Clone, a cold breath hit her face, instantly extinguishing all the Evil Fire in her body that had been ready to move during this period.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a little happy and a little sad.
Being around "Nyarlathotep", it is much simpler and easier to suppress Evil Fire with the help of breath alone than with the assistance of Xu Sanshi.
It is a pity that relying on the aura of "Nyarlathotep" to suppress Evil Fire is not a long-term solution. Only by completely eradicating Evil Fire's problems can she truly exert the power of this fire phoenix.
But even so, Ma Xiaotao still feels very satisfied.
After all, in the past ten years or so, under the torture of Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao had countless thoughts about how great it would be if he were a man.
Before meeting "Nyarlathotep", even with the help of Xu Sanshi, most of the people around her were trying to persuade her to slow down her cultivation speed, and even advised her to give up the Spirit Master path, just because her Martial Soul is Evil Fire Phoenix and she is a girl.
If she were born as a boy, when Evil Fire accumulated to a certain level, she could go to those fireworks places to vent her anger, but she was born as a girl and was bound by secular concepts...
But as he grew older, Ma Xiaotao gave up on this idea.
She thinks that no matter if Martial Soul is Evil Fire Phoenix, no matter if she is a girl, she can become a powerful Spirit Master with her own efforts and will.
But before encountering "Nyarlathotep", even with the assistance of Xu Sanshi, her Evil Fire still frequently broke out of control, almost causing immeasurable losses to the Shrek Academy many times. This made her feel a little discouraged, and she even thought about giving up on the path of Spirit Master.
But she is a master who will not give up easily. Even though the road ahead is full of thorns and unknown possibilities, her fighting spirit becomes higher and higher.
And now, even with the help of the college and teachers, she did not find a solution to the Evil Fire problem once and for all, but she did find "Nyarlathotep".
She could feel that if she could always practice by his side and rely on his aura to suppress Evil Fire, she would definitely be able to reach the Titled Douluo level within twenty years, or even higher.
It's a pity that people don't seem to like her very much, so she can only find "Nyarlathotep" before Evil Fire is about to lose control and run away and use his aura to suppress it. It is impossible to stay by his side to practice.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but sigh secretly. It would be great if he could find an excuse to stay with "Nyarlathotep" to practice.
Suddenly, a light flashed through her mind.
"You kid, you can't possibly stay married all your life, right?"
"I don't want to get married, I want to become a powerful Spirit Master."
"Teacher Naiya, apart from being a bit cool-tempered, he is also a good match."
Now, Ma Xiaotao finally understands the meaningful words of teacher Yan Shaozhe when she knew that the aura of "Nyarlathotep" could easily suppress her Evil Fire.
Bah, bah, bah! She doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't like just for Martial Soul!
As soon as he mentioned this, Ma Xiaotao became a little angry.
What? She Ma Xiaotao can't accomplish anything big without a man in her life, right?
But...
If this person is "Nyarlathotep", it doesn't seem impossible...
Ma Xiaotao, who was shocked to realize that he suddenly had such an idea, suddenly woke up from his thoughts.
Why do you think so? I'm not very familiar with "Nyarlathotep", right?
Just as Ma Xiaotao was busy shaking this ridiculous idea out of his mind, Inverted Clone also noticed something was wrong with Ma Xiaotao.
He could clearly feel that her heart was in chaos.
But he was always not interested in things that were not related to his purpose, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
A few days later, the processing results for Zhou Yi finally came out.
Zhou Yi's cultivation was abolished, and all the glory he had gained in the Shrek Academy was taken back by the Shrek Academy, and Shrek City was kicked out, and he was not allowed to step into Shrek City again for the rest of his life.
Although on the surface Shrek Academy did not succumb to the pressure of public opinion and hand over Zhou Yi to those families and sect forces, but abolishing Zhou Yi's cultivation, expelling Shrek City, and not allowing him to take another step into Shrek City for life, is not a compromise to those families and sect forces.
For Zhou Yi, it would be far worse to expel her from Shrek City's torture than to be killed on the spot by the Shrek Academy's enforcers.
As for Fan Yu, who was responsible for acting as the protective umbrella for Zhou Yi, he was also removed from all positions and rights in the Shrek Academy. As for the specific details, Xia Linyuan did not pay too much attention.
Fan Yu is a level that cannot be bypassed if you want to move Zhou Yi, and Fan Yu has no residual value for Xia Linyuan, so there is no harm in throwing it away.
"What are you thinking about? I just saw what you have been thinking about." Gu Yuena asked.
Xia Linyuan turned to look out the window and murmured, "Did you see it?"
"Is there something outside?" Gu Yuena stuck his head out and followed his gaze without knowing why, but didn't find anything different.
"The wind is picking up."
"?" Gu Yuena slowly typed a question mark, "Is the wind blowing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the trees outside the window suddenly shook and made a "rustling" sound.
"Dingle bell--"
When the bell rang, Wang Yan pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and read, "Xia Linyuan, Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu... these students come to the office with me."
The students in Class 1 were shocked to find that the names Wang Yan read were all core disciples, which made them wonder if something big was going to happen in the academy.
Come to Wang Yan's office.
"I called you here today because I have a special situation to inform you." Wang Yan said.
"In three days, Outer Court will hold a core disciple selection competition. It was originally not for our second-year students, but the college suddenly decided to let our second-year core disciples also participate in the selection, so you all must be prepared."
Everyone couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts. The academy's assessments must be too many. The promotion assessment has just ended. Why is there another core disciple assessment?
Dai Huabin asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what is this trial for?"
Wang Yan said, "You don't have to worry too much. There will be no punishment for losing in this trial, and the participants are all Outer Court's core disciples under the age of fifteen, including Soul Guidance Department."
"I calculated that there are about thirty core disciples participating in this selection competition, and the college plans to select seven of them to participate in a task."
"As for what this task is, only the winning students can know. Originally, these places should have been reserved for third-, fourth-, and fifth-year students, but you are lucky enough to be able to participate this time. I don't ask how many of you can become one of these seven people. I only ask that you do your best."
Hearing this, Wang Dong couldn't help but whisper to everyone around him, "Teacher Wang Yan is easy to talk to. If it were the old woman Zhou Yi, she would definitely not say, 'I don't ask how many of you can become one of these seven people, I only ask that you do your best.' Instead, I ask how many of us should become one of these seven people."
In this regard, except for Xia Linyuan and Gu Yuena, everyone nodded with deep sympathy.
"Ahem!" Although Wang Yan only has the cultivation level of Soul King, his hearing is not blind. Hearing Wang Dong compare him with Zhou Yi, he couldn't help but cough heavily, "Wang Dong, please pay attention to the impact."
Since the Zhou Yi incident came to light, it has had an immeasurable negative impact on the Shrek Academy, and even pushed Shrek Academy to the forefront of public opinion. For a time, the entire Shrek Academy was completely silent about the name "Zhou Yi".
Wang Dong stuck out his tongue.
Others don't know, but Xia Linyuan knows. The so-called mission is nothing more than to participate in the competition as the reserve team of this continent's senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament Shrek Academy. It is also to select and train the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters in advance.
"Okay, you go back first, Linyuan, Huo Yuhao, you two will stay here for a while."
"Yes."
"We are waiting for you outside." Gu Yuena said.
Everyone else went out. Huo Yuhao closed the office door obediently, then turned to Wang Yan and asked, "Teacher Wang Yan, do you have anything else to tell me and Linyuan?"
Wang Yan smiled helplessly and said, "I am only responsible for conveying the words of Dean Yan and Dean Xian. The two deans said that it is okay for others not to enter the top seven. But if you do not enter the top seven, you will bear the consequences."
"Ah?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "No, teacher Wang Yan, in the strength ranking of the core disciples, I am at the bottom, let alone the senior seniors participating, how can I enter the top seven? But with Linyuan's strength, I can definitely enter."
"It's useless for you to tell me this. If you want to find it, you can only talk to Dean Yan and Dean Xian to reason with me."
"This..." Huo Yuhao looked at Xia Linyuan as if asking for help, but he was helpless and ignored him at all, which made Huo Yuhao feel like crying without tears.
After leaving the door, Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin, and Wang Dong were waiting for them at the door.
"Why did Teacher Wang Yan leave you two alone?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao reluctantly told them briefly what Wang Yan meant.
Hearing that Huo Yuhao was actually asked by the two deans Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department to be one of the seven candidates to enter the core disciple assessment task, everyone couldn't help but give her a look of "You can save yourself, I can't help you."
Huo Yuhao said with a look of sorrow and anger, "Don't you love me anymore? Why don't you comfort me?"
"Ahem!" Wang Dong glanced at her and coughed heavily, "What do you love or not love? Huo Yuhao, since when did you become like a girl?"
Huo Yuhao reacted suddenly, pretending to laugh and said, "Don't you think it's interesting for the girls in the class to say such things, so I learned a lesson."
"Okay, okay." Wang Dong patted her shoulder, "Who made you a dual-series core disciple, who made you perform so well in the upgrade assessment, and who also owns Ultimate Martial Soul, just ask for your blessings."
