Hearing Lin Fan's words, Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged glances, and their eyes fell on Wang Dong at the same time.
Wang Dong was busy gnawing on grilled fish. Feeling two gazes land on her, she looked up in surprise, then wore an expression that clearly said, "Why am I the one who has to say it?"
Still, she quickly swallowed the fish in her mouth and turned to Lin Fan. "Teacher Lin, do you remember the conflict you had with that old witch Zhou Yi?"
Since she was calling her an old witch, Zhou Yi had clearly offended the two of them badly. But... Lin Fan had not forgotten something that had happened so recently. He nodded to show that he remembered.
"After that day, that old witch probably felt humiliated and threw a huge tantrum when she got back to class."
"Then, because Huo Yuhao said a few good things about you in front of her, she started targeting him."
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly at that. He was somewhat surprised; he had not expected Huo Yuhao to speak up for him.
If he remembered correctly, Zhou Yi should have been of some help to Huo Yuhao during this period. For example, she had taken Huo Yuhao to study in the Soul Tool Department, which could be considered uncovering his talent.
Ling Luochen, standing nearby, was also taken aback and asked, "Was he expelled?"
After all, being expelled from Shrek Academy was no small matter for an ordinary student. Saying the sky had fallen would not be an exaggeration.
But for people like her and Lin Fan, it was not such a big deal.
Bei Bei stepped forward at that moment, shook his head, and explained with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Not expelled."
"Although Teacher Zhou Yi did not expel Yuhao and Wang Dong, she made things difficult for them at every turn. During class, she deliberately picked on their faults, even forbade them from studying theoretical courses, and trained them randomly during practice."
"Yuhao had originally been studying in the Soul Tool Department, but Teacher Zhou Yi has blocked him with all kinds of excuses. He can't go anymore."
Wang Dong immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this, her tone filled with obvious indignation.
"She really is an old witch! How can a teacher behave like that?"
"Besides, Zhou Yi was the one in the wrong from the start. What right does she have to take it out on other people?"
Tang Ya, standing nearby, could not help sighing softly.
When Huo Yuhao had first been assigned to Zhou Yi's class, she had thought he had been lucky. She had believed Zhou Yi was the kind of good teacher who was strict in her teaching but highly responsible.
But now that this had happened, she had naturally gone to speak with Zhou Yi herself, hoping to persuade her. Instead, she had been directly rebuffed.
Zhou Yi did not care at all about Tang Ya's status as the sect master of the Tang Sect, and her attitude had been extremely forceful.
Tang Ya felt awful about it, but there was nothing she could do.
Wang Dong added, "We can't switch classes either. Zhou Yi has no intention of letting us go."
"And the Freshman Grand Competition is less than two months away. We can't train properly at all right now."
Her voice grew anxious as she spoke. If they were eliminated in the Freshman Grand Competition, then they would truly be finished.
After hearing this, Lin Fan looked at Bei Bei.
Bei Bei naturally understood the meaning in Lin Fan's gaze.
In fact, he had indeed planned to speak with his great-grandfather, Mu En, about this matter today and use his elder's connections to resolve the issue of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong being targeted.
But...
Bei Bei had always been used to keeping a low profile. He had never revealed that he was Mu En's great-grandson, and now that he had to use that connection to pressure a teacher directly, he still hesitated. Fortunately, he ultimately made up his mind.
Lin Fan spoke directly at that moment.
"Since they were targeted because they said good things about me, I bear some responsibility too."
"I'll handle this matter and help you carry out your plan to switch classes."
"A teacher who lacks even basic professional ethics, then takes out her humiliation on students after losing face, is truly derelict in her duty."
Huo Yuhao's azure eyes immediately lit up when he heard that. He exchanged a glance with Wang Dong, and the two of them hurriedly nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Lin!"
Seeing them like this, Lin Fan suddenly laughed and asked, "Do you remember what I said when we first met?"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were both stunned. The words Lin Fan had spoken by Sea God Lake that day surfaced in their minds at the same time.
Leaving Shrek Academy might not necessarily be a bad thing. Of course, the two of them still found that difficult to understand. Shrek Academy was still the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, and its teaching staff was undoubtedly excellent.
Besides, they had only offended Zhou Yi. There were some terrible teachers in the academy, but there were also good teachers like Lin Fan.
As if recalling something, Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked, "Teacher Lin... could you help Xiao Xiao transfer classes too?"
"Xiao Xiao is on the same team as us, so Zhou Yi has begun targeting her as well. I'm worried she'll be affected too."
Lin Fan did not hesitate after hearing that and simply nodded.
"Sure. One more person or one fewer person is only a matter of a word to me."
Huo Yuhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his gratitude toward Lin Fan deepened even further.
At that very moment, countless people before the Light Screen ten thousand years later were stunned as they watched the scene before them.
Those who had read records of Zhou Yi's life were especially incredulous.
"Th-This... wasn't Zhou Yi supposed to be an exceptionally outstanding teacher?"
"Then why is she like this in the Light Screen?"
"Something's wrong with those records, isn't there?"
"Who exactly recorded Zhou Yi's character profile? Damn it, if you're going to record something, record it properly!"
At the Tang Sect, the current sect master was likewise stunned after hearing the entire account. More than anyone else, he knew how important Huo Yuhao's Soul Tool talent had been. It was precisely because of Huo Yuhao's appearance that the Tang Sect's hidden weapon technology had been reformed and upgraded, allowing it to keep pace with the times.
If Zhou Yi's targeting had caused Huo Yuhao to miss the chance to have his Soul Tool talent discovered, then the Tang Sect's future...
Thinking of this, the Tang Sect Master felt his heart tighten.
At the same time, others began to panic.
"If the events in the Light Screen drastically change history, will our era be affected too?"
"If Huo Yuhao misses his opportunity to study Soul Tools, can he still become the founder of the Spirit Pagoda in the future?"
"If history truly changes... will people like us disappear along with it?"
A string of questions spread through everyone's minds. The discussions before the Light Screen grew louder and louder, and unease appeared on many faces.
