Chapitre 683: Chapter 87: Should I leave?_1
A noble birth?
Qin Xiao heard this and suddenly laughed.
Let's not mention myself, even Huo Yuhao's birth is indeed excellent.
A son of a duke.
Moreover, he's the son of one of the most powerful dukes in the Xingluo Empire, the son of Duke Bai Hu. His lineage is indeed very noble, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In the original work, Dai Yueheng spent over a million golden soul coins to buy a soul tool, and didn't even blink an eye.
But that was just Dai Yueheng.
Huo Yuhao was nowhere near that level.
To say the least, it was too far a stretch. It was almost like comparing heaven to hell.
Huo Yuhao in the Duke's Mansion was bullied, living a life worse than a dog.
What was the use of a good birth?
The luxurious life of a duke's son had nothing to do with him.
Meng Hongchen knew a little about Qin Xiao's background from Jing Hongchen.
Although Jing Hongchen had never gone into details, just by sighing whenever Qin Xiao's background was mentioned, the smart girl could guess that Qin Xiao's background must not have been very good.
"My uncle master's achievements to this day have nothing to do with his background, but are all due to his own talent and effort," Meng Hongchen stood up and faced Zhou Yi.
Hmm?
Zhou Yi's face suddenly changed.
Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
Qin Xiao gently ruffled Meng Hongchen's little head and then turned towards Zhou Yi, "What do you have to say now?"
At his words, Zhou Yi's expression froze.
What to say?
She really had nothing good to say.
Originally wanting to intimidate Qin Xiao, she ended up being intimidated by him. Now she was indeed in a difficult position.
She subconsciously looked back and saw that the students behind her already had a look of awe in their eyes towards Qin Xiao.
Clearly, the image of Qin Xiao defeating Wang Dong with a single strike left a deep impression on them.
What's worse, she saw something different in the eyes of the sisters Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu...
"Hmph, those two sisters really have no backbone, to actually be swooning over him at a time like this..."
Zhou Yi felt a surge of irritation at the sight.
But, she was also clear that now was not the time to lash out at her students. Putting Qin Xiao in his place and maintaining her authority was the priority.
With that in mind, she slowly turned back around, faced Qin Xiao, and said without emotion, "I had indeed underestimated you just now. It seems that Soul Masters from the Sun-Moon Empire do have some skills and are not completely reliant on soul tools. But I believe people like you are in the minority, right?"
Qin Xiao's eyes flickered.
What's true is true, what's false is false, Zhou Yi had spoken the truth, and there was no need for him to twist facts or say things against his conscience just to refute Zhou Yi. With his status and perspective, there really was no need.
However, Qin Xiao was also clear-headed.
Zhou Yi wanted to change the topic, so how could he let her have her way?
He didn't hesitate to bring the topic back, "Then Teacher Zhou, shouldn't you apologize for what just happened?"
Right, she should apologize.
She had been trying to throw dirt on him and belittle him maliciously; he, Qin Xiao, was no saint. How could he easily let Zhou Yi, this old woman, off the hook?
This kid was troublesome... Zhou Yi's pupils contracted abruptly.
She had not expected Qin Xiao to dodge the important and hold on to the trivial, pulling the issue back on track, not falling for her trap at all.
But...
"Me, apologize to him? Is that possible?"
"A boy from a foreign land, does he deserve an apology from me? Does he think he is still in the Sun-Moon Empire?"
"Plus, if I apologized, how would my students see me? All the authority and image I've worked so hard to build would collapse in an instant. Not to mention there are quite a few people in the academy waiting for a good laugh at my expense. If word of today's incident goes out, wouldn't people laugh their teeth off?"
"Especially that old woman Mu Jin, she wouldn't miss an opportunity to mock me, waiting to kick me when I'm down."
After weighing her options, Zhou Yi made a decision in her heart.
Over her dead body would she submit.
It was impossible to admit wrongdoing, she could only continue to suppress.
Once Qin Xiao was PUA'd, all problems would be solved.
Having taught at Shrek Academy for many years, she was an old hand at this.
An idea formed in her mind.
"I admit I was wrong in my judgement, but what fault have I committed?"
Zhou Yi pointed at the still unconscious Wang Dong and said indifferently, "You, a Soul Ancestor who can wield your normal combat power, defeated a careless Soul Elder who didn't even show all his strength. I don't think that's something to be proud of. And I don't think it proves anything."
Huh?
So what she's saying is, I'm the one bullying the weak?
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
This old woman Zhou Yi, although not explicitly saying it, implied it in every other word.
It was as if he was in the wrong.
"Clap clap clap."
He couldn't help but applaud sarcastically.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Yi frowned and asked Qin Xiao in a deep voice.
"Deserving of a teacher from Shrek Academy. I don't know about your strength, but this unflappable poise and ability to distort the truth is something our teachers at the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy can't match," Qin Xiao commended. "They can only research, but should actually be brought over to learn from you. Teacher Zhou, your words feel as powerful as an Eighth-grade Soul Guidance Device, ignoring defense and attacking the spirit directly."
