Will This Blow Up?

[Wow, Zhang Lexuan, you really know how to hit the snake where it hurts. You skipped over Zhou Yi's most cunning fallacies and went straight for her most unassailable point, relentlessly attacking it.]

That's true. You say you're strict in your teaching, that's fine, but for a Soul Emperor to unleash his power on a group of teenagers is just bullying the weak and taking advantage of the powerful.

If this can be considered a teaching method, then wouldn't all the teachers at Shrek be able to lay a hand on their students? Zhou Yi is probably really in trouble this time.

The questioning was so loud that all the students stopped listening to the lesson and gathered around the window.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Lexuan's level was simply far superior to Zhou Yi's.

Looking out the window at the scene before her, Ning Tian raised an eyebrow as the contents of her diary flashed through her mind. She thought to herself, "Lin Ye is right. Zhang Lexuan's move did indeed hit the nail on the head."

Zhou Yi's teaching style argument was never tenable to begin with, and now that she's been caught bullying the younger ones, even if Fan Yu came, she couldn't clear her name."

She was a descendant of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect and had witnessed the intrigues and power struggles within the sect since childhood, so she could see through the intricacies of the situation at a glance.

Zhang Lexuan's visit this time was not simply about the expelled freshmen; it was more likely that she wanted to use this incident to give Fan Yu of the Soul Guidance Department a warning and establish her authority within the academy.

Of course, Ning Tian didn't realize that Zhang Lexuan came because of the Diary.

She viewed the matter from the perspective of a sect successor and felt that Zhang Lexuan was trying to establish her authority.

In just a few short sentences, the Playground was already surrounded by layers of people.

The freshmen, who were originally in their respective classes, all gathered around and peered over the fence of the Playground.

The teachers who didn't have classes stood in twos and threes not far away, pointing and gesturing towards the center of the Playground.

Even some staff and leaders from the Teaching Department, Administration Department, and even the Soul Guidance Department rushed over upon hearing the news, gathering around the edge of the Playground to watch this spectacle with great interest.

The crowd erupted in a frenzy, with discussions rising and falling like a tidal wave.

"What's going on? Why is Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan from the Inner Court here? And why is she so angry with Teacher Zhou Yi?"

"You don't know yet? Today, Zhou Yi was in charge of the class, and she made the freshmen run more than a hundred laps with weights right from the start. Anyone who couldn't finish would be expelled. And look, a few of them are about to be expelled."

"I knew Zhou Yi's actions were going too far! She does this every year when she's in charge of a class, taking advantage of Dean Fan Yu being her husband to bully the freshmen. Only Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan dares to discipline her!"

"That's right! Zhou Yi usually acts all high and mighty at the academy, but today, she was completely shut down by Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan. It was so satisfying!"

Someone who watched the whole thing explained the whole story to those around them who were confused, and everyone immediately understood.

Actually, they weren't deaf or blind. Having been at the Shrek Academy for so long, who didn't know what kind of person Zhou Yi was?

Who hasn't heard of her extreme, almost obsessive, teaching methods?

But there was nothing she could do. Her husband was Fan Yu, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department and Shrek Academy's only Rank-8 Soul Engineer. He held a very important position and had a great deal of influence in the academy.

Even if they harbored many grievances, they dared not voice them, much less risk provoking trouble.

But things are different now. Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan from the Inner Court has personally stepped forward, and in front of so many people, she directly confronted Zhou Yi. This is going to be quite a show.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting to see how things would unfold, their faces beaming with anticipation – this was a rare and fierce battle indeed.

Among the crowd, many teachers and administrators were secretly making their own plans.

In terms of status, Zhang Lexuan is the Senior Sister of the Inner Court, holding an extremely high position in the academy. Even the dean of the Outer Court has to treat her with utmost respect.

Fan Yu is the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, possessing Shrek's most core Soul Guidance Technology. His status and position are almost on par with Zhang Lexuan's.

In terms of strength, Zhang Lexuan is a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse, only one step away from becoming Titled Douluo, and is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation of Shrek.

Fan Yu is also Soul Douluo- level player and a top-tier Rank-8 Soul Engineer on the continent. If they really went all out, his strength wouldn't be much weaker than Zhang Lexuan's.

As for her background, Zhang Lexuan's background has always been very mysterious. No one knows her specific origins, but everyone knows that her background is definitely not simple.

As for Fan Yu, he is the pillar of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, with the entire Soul Guidance Department standing behind him.

If these two really escalate this matter with Zhou Yi and it reaches the higher-ups at the academy, what will the academy ultimately choose?

Will they side with Zhang Lexuan, the Senior Sister of the Inner Court? Or will they side with Fan Yu, the pillar of the Soul Guidance Department and Rank-8 Soul Engineer?

Lin Ye heard the surrounding crowd's discussions clearly, and seeing the expressions on their faces that seemed to enjoy the drama, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

These people really love to stir up trouble, even going so far as to make things worse. Do they really think Fan Yu would break ties with Zhang Lexuan for Zhou Yi's sake?

Don't be ridiculous. What does Fan Yu value most in order to become the dean of the Soul Guidance Department and Rank-8 Soul Engineer? It's his own future and the Shrek Academy platform.

Zhou Yi is his wife, that's true, but if he offends Zhang Lexuan and the Sea God Pavilion for Zhou Yi's sake, does he still want to be the dean of the Soul Guidance Department?

Besides, Zhou Yi's actions this time were unreasonable to begin with, and she has stirred up such a huge mess, causing serious trouble for the academy's reputation.

It's already a favor that Fan Yu didn't actively push her out to quell public anger; why would she go head-to-head with Zhang Lexuan for her sake? Absolutely not.

Only Zhou Yi herself still believed that Fan Yu would definitely protect her; how naive and laughable!

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but laugh out loud. She wholeheartedly agreed, "Teacher Fan Yu looks honest and upright, but he's actually more shrewd than anyone else. How could he possibly ruin everything he's worked so hard for over the years for his wife, Zhou Yi? This time, Zhou Yi might be sold out by her husband without even knowing it."

Tang Ya couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, "In the Shrek Academy, naive people never live long."

Zhou Yi thought that with Fan Yu protecting her, she could do whatever she wanted, but she didn't know that when she had no more use and could even become a burden, the first person to abandon her would be Fan Yu.

Zhang Lexuan, standing in the center of the Playground, looked at the contents of the diary in her mind, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

She knew better than anyone that Lin Ye was right.

Fan Yu would never break ties with Zhou Yi, her, Mu En, or the entire Sea God Pavilion for her sake.
