Ma Xiaotao might not have drawn the academy's attention before, but after Mu En purified her twice with Sea God's Light, she had become someone the academy was determined to cultivate.
And now they had discovered this. How could they not be shocked?
"How... how could this happen?"
"Huang Jinxu, was it you..."
At the news, Yan Shaozhe felt as though his sky had collapsed.
During his darkest days, Ma Xiaotao had been the disciple he placed his greatest hopes in, his last source of support.
Now he was being told that Ma Xiaotao's powers were ruined.
How could he accept that?
Unable to contain his fury, Yan Shaozhe accused Huang Jinxu outright.
But before he could finish, Huang Jinxu knocked him unconscious with a slap.
"Elder Song, since you've taken the seat of Sea God Pavilion Master, keep it."
"You can arrange everything else as you see fit. I promised Mu En I'd protect the academy at a critical moment, but that doesn't mean I'll live and die with it forever."
"After all, we don't see eye to eye."
With that, Huang Jinxu left.
He had no interest in dealing with the rest.
"This..."
Song Yunzhi wanted to ask Huang Jinxu to stay, but he was already gone.
We don't see eye to eye?
She knew something of what he meant. When Huang Jinxu had first become Dean of the Martial Soul Department, he had compiled a great mass of material.
Reforming the academy as he proposed really would have made it better.
But it would also have shaken the interests of everyone in the current leadership.
Even she had opposed him back then.
At the time, she had thought that with Mu En and Xuan Zi there, it hardly mattered if Huang Jinxu's heart was not with Shrek
