"You, you..."

Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled, but he could not get a single word out.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Pack your things and get out of my academy! From this day on, you are never to set foot in my academy again!"

The headmaster of Notting truly was angry. Notting Academy was the work of his entire life.

They could insult him, but they could not insult his academy!

"Pah."

Qin Qi looked at the utterly dejected master and spat. The teachers then escorted him back to the dormitory.

On the way back to the dormitory.

Damn that useless Yu Xiaogang. I wasn't looking for trouble with you, yet you came looking for trouble with me.

Just wait. If I let you live to see the sun rise tomorrow...

Then this Thieving Heaven Inheritance will have been for nothing!

Surrounded by teachers, Qin Qi walked toward the dormitory, but he was considering how to deal with Yu Xiaogang.

Things had already escalated to this point. There was no way they could simply let it go so easily.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang was narrow-minded. Who knew whether he would seek revenge?

To eliminate future trouble once and for all, Qin Qi intended to kill Yu Xiaogang outright!

"Student Qin Qi, you must have been frightened."

"But don't worry. You have us teachers."

"From today onward, that useless master will be kicked out of the academy. You don't need to worry about being expelled."

The teachers felt immensely satisfied. Yu Xiaogang, that tumor in the academy, was finally getting thrown out!

It was all thanks to Qin Qi. Not only was this child sensible, he had also helped them solve a huge problem.

They would have to take good care of this child in the future!

"Mm."

Qin Qi nodded obediently, but inwardly, he found it troublesome.

These teachers kept surrounding him. He could not find a chance to make a move against Yu Xiaogang.

In a direct fight, my Thieving Dao may not be especially strong, but when it comes to dirty tricks, no one in the Thieving Dao fears anyone!

I'll find an opportunity later and secretly use Formless Hand to seize Yu Xiaogang's heart meridian directly.

I'll make it look like he died of illness. That way, no one will suspect me.

But I need to figure out how to send these teachers away.

Qin Qi had already decided how to kill Yu Xiaogang and had even figured out how to disguise the murder as an accident.

But the first step now was finding a way to shake off these teachers.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang returned to his room in a fury and began packing his things.

"They look down on me!"

"The headmaster is like this, the teachers are like this, and the students are like this!"

"They're all worthless trash destined to amount to nothing for the rest of their lives!"

"They're driving me out now, but even if they beg me to return someday, I won't come back!"

Yu Xiaogang packed his things furiously. While picking up some books, he accidentally injured his hand.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Yu Xiaogang angrily threw the books straight to the floor and knocked everything off the table as well!

"Damn Qin Qi! I won't let you off! I absolutely won't let you off!"

"And Tang San, Tang Hao—once I cultivate a Titled Douluo in the future!"

"None of you will escape then!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists and roared inwardly, but his furious movements suddenly froze the next second.

"Wait, I've been kicked out now."

"That means I can't be a teacher anymore. Perhaps this is a good chance to shake off that evil bastard Tang San!"

"If I'm driven out like this, Tang Hao won't suspect anything either."

"This is a good opportunity!"

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang immediately revealed an extremely excited expression.

He hurriedly packed his things, then fled without lingering for even a moment.

He left Notting City that very night. It had to be said that the master had some talent when it came to running away.

The next day, news of the master being expelled spread throughout the academy. At this moment, Tang San was the most embarrassed of all.

"Little San, I remember you took the master as your teacher, didn't you?"

Xiao Wu, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, directly spoke to Tang San.

"I..."

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words and feeling the gazes around him, Tang San could not help lowering his head.

His eyes revealed his resentment toward Yu Xiaogang as he clenched his fists.

That useless trash really is worthless!

I must have been blind when I took him as my teacher!

Not only did I gain no benefits at all, I've even become a laughingstock now.

Damn it. Damn it!

"Teachers, thank you for your concern. I'm really fine now. You should hurry and get some rest."

At this moment, Qin Qi spoke to the teachers beside him with a helpless expression.

These teachers were far too enthusiastic. They had taken turns watching over and comforting him all night!

He had not had any opportunity at all to sneak out and kill Yu Xiaogang.

"Student Qin Qi, you truly are strong."

"Actually, we teachers aren't tired, but since you are so earnestly asking us to rest..."

"We can't refuse your kindness. We'll go prepare our lessons first."

"If anything happens, come find us anytime."

The teachers first praised Qin Qi for being obedient and sensible, then went back to prepare their lessons.

It was not Sunday. They still had to teach as usual.

"Whew, they've finally left. Now I'll go find Yu Xiaogang and kill him!"

Qin Qi wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, then stood up and prepared to leave the dormitory.

But after only two steps, Tang San blocked his path.

"Tang San, what do you want?"

Qin Qi looked at Tang San, and a slight chill ran over his skin.

His second soul skill was warning him. Tang San before him harbored hostility toward him.

"A teacher for one day, a father for life!"

"I believe my teacher isn't such a despicable person. You must have slandered him!"

"For my teacher's honor, I challenge you to a duel!"

"If I win, you must admit your mistake and apologize to my teacher."

"And you must admit before all the students that what happened before was all your fault and had nothing to do with my teacher."

Tang San looked at Qin Qi, clenched his fists, and spoke in a cold voice.

This was all Qin Qi's fault!

If not for Qin Qi, he would not have become so humiliated, so awkward, and so embarrassed!

But it did not matter. As long as he could defeat Qin Qi, everything could be cleared away!

Not only could he wash away his humiliation, he could also seize Qin Qi's position and reputation!

As long as Qin Qi agreed, he would become the boss of the academy. From then on, no one would dare look down on him again!

Or call him trash again!

"Little San, you've gone crazy."

"Boss Qin Qi isn't that kind of person. He would never slander that master."

Wang Sheng was the first to step forward and roar at Tang San.

He respected Qin Qi greatly. Because of Qin Qi's arrival, the work-study students no longer had to endure bullying from the regular students.

Now Tang San was insulting Qin Qi, and he could not stand it!

"Don't you want to fight? Then defeat me first!"

Wang Sheng roared as he used Martial Soul Possession, immediately opening with a tiger pounce and preparing to suppress Tang San.

"Hmph, trash."

Tang San advanced using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and, with a deft redirection of force, threw Wang Sheng away.

He used a great deal of strength in that move. If Wang Sheng hit the ground, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.

"Tang San, if you want trouble, then come."

Qin Qi reached out and caught Wang Sheng, cleverly using a spin to neutralize the remaining force.

He then set Wang Sheng on the ground, fixed Tang San with a sharp gaze, and spoke.
