Meeting Yan Shaozhe (Q Reader Release, Please Keep Reading)

After noticing Xue Ningbing's meaningful look, Huo Yuhao gave a slight nod.

Xue Ningbing left the office and headed straight for the main entrance.

To Xue Ningbing's surprise, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had not left when she reached the entrance.

Xue Ningbing asked Xiao Xiao, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Don't misunderstand. I wasn't waiting for you—I was waiting for Huo Yuhao," Wang Dong cut in before Xiao Xiao could answer.

Xue Ningbing rolled her eyes at Wang Dong's rushed reply.

Before Xue Ningbing could say anything, Wang Dong snapped, "What do you mean by rolling your eyes at me?"

Xue Ningbing said, "What else could it mean? I was asking Xiao Xiao. Why are you, an outsider, butting in?"

"Who are you calling an outsider? I'm Huo Yuhao's roommate!"

"So what if you're his roommate? Isn't my relationship with Huo Yuhao better than that of a roommate who's only known him for two or three days?"

Watching Xue Ningbing and Wang Dong continue to argue, Xiao Xiao said helplessly, "Can you two stop fighting?"

But Xiao Xiao's voice was completely drowned out by Xue Ningbing and Wang Dong's bickering.

Xiao Xiao muttered to herself, "Why do the two of them feel like love rivals who can't stand each other? But Wang Dong is a boy. It can't be that he likes Huo Yuhao, can it?"

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Unless he's a girl disguised as a boy. But if that were true, how did Wang Dong flatten those two things in front? Or were they flat to begin with?

"What are you three doing here?" Just as Xiao Xiao was wildly speculating, a voice sounded beside her.

Xiao Xiao turned around and found an elderly man dressed in white.

"The two of them started arguing. I couldn't stop them."

The old man shook his head in disappointment at Xiao Xiao's explanation. "This is the teachers' office building. Do you two have no respect for your teachers?"

His powerful presence immediately intimidated Xue Ningbing and Wang Dong, who had still been arguing moments ago.

That's a Titled Douluo—no, that's not right. Judging by the fluctuations in his soul power, he should be at least a Super Douluo. Xue Ningbing and Wang Dong turned to look at the old man beside Xiao Xiao.

"You've calmed down now, haven't you? Since you're new students, I'll waive your punishment this time. But if there is a next time, you will be punished."

"I give you two minutes to get out of my sight."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Xue Ningbing, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao did not hesitate in the slightest.

After all, this was Shrek's territory. They still had to show the proper respect.

After watching them leave, the old man entered the teachers' office building.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi was still in Class One's classroom.

At that moment, she was utterly helpless.

Looking at the empty classroom, with no one left but herself, the homeroom teacher, and her six frozen soul rings, she was completely dumbfounded.

No, those brats had really gone to file a complaint. She had only wanted to give them a show of strength and establish a stern image as a teacher.

It was over. Truly over.

Du Weilun had warned her before that if he received another large number of complaints against her, she would be dismissed immediately.

Terrified, Zhou Yi collapsed weakly to the floor.

After a brief daze, Zhou Yi chose to seek help from the Soul Tool Department.

Only that way could she salvage a sliver of hope.

A complaint from the entire class of one hundred students, on the very first lesson of the school term.

This matter would probably reach the ears of every teacher.

She had truly humiliated herself beyond measure.

It was currently break time, so Zhou Yi could only hurry toward the Soul Tool Department.

However, all the students who had been dismissed and the teachers returning to their offices saw her.

They were all deeply puzzled by Zhou Yi's actions.

Du Weilun's office.

"You must be tired after standing for so long. You can sit on the stool over there."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to decline, the door behind him suddenly opened.

"You're Huo Yuhao, right?"

Although Huo Yuhao knew that the elderly man before him was Yan Shaozhe, he could only pretend not to recognize him and answer, "Yes. And you are?"

"Yan Shaozhe."

Yan Shaozhe gave only that simple reply before walking past Huo Yuhao and looking at Du Weilun. "What happened this morning? I heard all the students from Class One of the first year came to you."

"Here's what happened." Du Weilun told Yan Shaozhe the entire sequence of events.

After learning the truth, Yan Shaozhe was unexpectedly delighted.

Yan Shaozhe said, "Excellent. Now we have a reason to dismiss Zhou Yi. This is truly the first time I've seen a teacher get reported by her entire class before the first lesson had even ended."

If not for the sake of the Soul Tool Department's reputation, he would have wanted to dismiss Zhou Yi long ago.

Huo Yuhao had not expected Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun to have long wanted to dismiss Zhou Yi, but thinking about it, it was only natural.

She was either expelling students or on her way to expel students.

Aside from expelling students, she also sent new students to the Soul Tool Department. Even Huo Yuhao would have wanted to dismiss Zhou Yi in her place.

Yan Shaozhe glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, come with me to my office."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was a little baffled. Why hadn't Du Weilun simply brought him to Yan Shaozhe's office from the start? Why had he needed to come here personally, only to go back to the office afterward?

Wasn't that a little redundant?

Forget it. He might not understand, but he would respect it. After all, how could a nobody like him possibly anticipate the thoughts of these big shots?

What Huo Yuhao did not know was that Du Weilun had the exact same thought.

But neither of them dared to ask.

The main reason Yan Shaozhe had made such a fatal mistake was that he had been severely sleep-deprived and confused from handling several important matters.

Under Yan Shaozhe's lead, Huo Yuhao followed him to Yan Shaozhe's office in the Inner Court.

After arriving at Yan Shaozhe's office, Yan Shaozhe had Huo Yuhao sit opposite him.

After arranging the documents on his desk, Yan Shaozhe said to Huo Yuhao, "In a moment, I need you to do me a small favor."

Although Huo Yuhao had roughly guessed what it was, he still asked, "Dean Yan, what can a new student like me possibly help you with?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe smiled faintly. "Only you can solve this matter. Not for any other reason, but because you possess Ultimate Ice. Aside from you, there is no second person in the academy with Ultimate Ice."
