Capítulo 739: Chapter 116 Meeting He Caitou Again_1
"Cai Tou? Is that you?"
Wang Dong stared at the shiny bald head, his expression a bit bewildered.
"It's me," Cai Tou nodded, "I'm still the same old me. It's you who has changed a lot.
If you hadn't spoken, we might have just walked right past each other. If I hadn't recognized your voice, I wouldn't have dared to acknowledge you."
"What on earth happened to make you look like this, Wang Dong? I remember your family was quite well-off, weren't they? How did you end up in such a plight?"
Cai Tou's voice was also full of sighs.
Within the academy, Wang Dong was very well-known. Not to mention anything else, just his looks were enough to cause a sensation among the female students.
Moreover, Cai Tou had once accompanied Wang Dong to the Xingluo Empire to participate in the Continental Elite Soul Masters competition and knew that he was someone who was not short on money. To see him in such a sorry state now was truly unexpected.
"Could his family have fallen on hard times?"
Cai Tou thought to himself.
"It's a long story talking about all that's happened. Can we go inside to talk?"
Wang Dong gave Cai Tou a meaningful look.
This place was too crowded, clearly not suitable for conversation.
He didn't want to be a spectacle for the public.
"My brother here is a student from Shrek Academy. I wonder if you could possibly make an exception?"
Cai Tou said while chummily speaking to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper showed a difficult expression upon hearing this, "This is a tough request. As you know, our academy enforces very strict rules. It would require extra money..."
Cai Tou: "..."
I almost thought you were really a man of integrity.
Wang Dong also rolled his eyes upon hearing this. So, after all that, it still came down to money.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Why all this rigmarole?
Thinking this, he directly took out ten golden soul coins from his Spatial Soul Guidance Device and stuffed them into the gatekeeper's hand, "Is this enough?"
Who would have thought this beggar was actually loaded... The gatekeeper muttered to himself, then smiled, "Go on in, but I'm warning you, without a certificate from the Empire, stay within Shrek Academy's team. Don't wander off, or you might really run into trouble."
Wang Dong perfunctorily replied, "Got it," and followed Cai Tou into the academy.
In fact, he didn't take the gatekeeper's warning seriously at all.
How could he not wander around?
He still needed to find Qin Xiao to help lift the curse on him, or at the very least, make him unaffected by the curse like before.
And he had inquired around; lifting a curse was not a simple matter.
At the very least, in Ming City, where Soul Masters were a dime a dozen and Soul Masters were as common as dogs, he had yet to find any Soul Master who could solve his problem.
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat angry.
"If it's not that easy, why did you lie to me, claiming there's plenty of people in the Sun-Moon Empire who could lift my curse?! Damn it!"
The Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy was huge, and Wang Dong had to follow Cai Tou for a while before arriving at the area where Shrek Academy's delegation was based.
In the lab, Wang Dong saw one of the individuals in charge of the exchange program from Shrek Academy, who was also the leader of Shrek's delegation at the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy—Fan Yu.
"Cai Tou, you're back?"
Fan Yu looked up at the door and greeted.
But his gaze shifted to Wang Dong, who was standing next to Cai Tou, he paused and asked, "Hey, aren't you, what's-his-name?"
He recognized Wang Dong's face but couldn't remember his name right away.
"Teacher, I'm Wang Dong, from Shrek Academy, class one of the first year," Wang Dong introduced himself helplessly.
"Oh, right, right, right..."
Fan Yu nodded repeatedly, but soon felt something was off, "But that's not right, you're not on the list of exchange students from our academy."
"Teacher, I came here on my own."
"What?" Fan Yu was somewhat surprised, "You said you just came from Shrek Academy?"
Wang Dong thought for a moment before answering, "On the way here I also spent a couple of days..."
"Then that's really great. Did the academy send you here?" Fan Yu expressed his surprise with delight.
He knew that the news he had been sending to the school had vanished like stones sunk in the ocean, without any response, and he always felt that something must have happened at the academy, but no one could give him an answer, which made him very anxious—he even thought about sending someone back to Shrek Academy to find out what exactly was going on.
Wang Dong's arrival might be able to clear up some of the doubts in his heart.
Wang Dong hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, "I wasn't sent by the academy. I came to the Sun-Moon Empire for some personal matters that I prefer not to discuss with the teacher."
"I see..."
Fan Yu felt a slight sense of disappointment.
He felt as if he and these exchange students were like forgotten people.
"Then do you know what has happened at the academy recently?" He Caitou asked in a low voice.
"This... a lot has happened, I'm not sure what you want to ask about," Wang Dong genuinely didn't know where to start.
Upon hearing this, Fan Yu perked up, asking the question he wanted to know the most, "Since you're a student of Class One, how is the Class One's homeroom teacher doing now?"
Few people at the academy knew about his relationship with Zhou Yi, so he didn't tell Wang Dong how his wife was...
"Teacher Zhou, ah..."
Wang Dong was at a loss for words momentarily.
Although Fan Yu hadn't explicitly stated the nature of the relationship, from Fan Yu's eager and anxious expression, Wang Dong could tell that the relationship between the two was definitely out of the ordinary.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Seeing Wang Dong's difficulty, Fan Yu felt a sinking feeling in his heart; he guessed that it was definitely not good news.
And after all, Zhou Yi's tempestuous temper was well-known—it was hard not to offend people.
It looked like she had hit a snag.
Now it was all about how bad the situation had gotten.
Despite his worries, Fan Yu still believed that Shrek Academy would surely stand by Zhou Yi.
At the worst, she would be suspended for an investigation.
"Then I'll just say it."
"Go ahead, don't beat around the bush. I'm already prepared."
"Teacher Zhou has been dismissed!"
"Oh, so it's a dismissal."
Upon hearing it was not a suspension, Fan Yu subconsciously thought it wasn't serious.
But the more he thought about it, the more it didn't sit right with him.
Wait a minute!
"Dismissed?"
"You're saying Zhou Yi has been dismissed?"
Fan Yu looked at Wang Dong in disbelief.
He had thought of many possibilities, but had never imagined that the situation could have become this grave.
Wang Dong nodded with difficulty, "As hard as it is to accept, that is the truth..."
"At the time, the incident caused quite the uproar, and there was an announcement throughout the whole school."
"Afterward, many students said they saw Teacher Zhou leaving."
"Did you see her leave?" asked Fan Yu, agitatedly.
Wang Dong was like the last straw he could grasp at.
Wang Dong shook his head, "I didn't see Teacher Zhou leave. From that day on, I haven't seen Teacher Zhou either..."
