Turbid World sighed helplessly, "Since all the Elders have asked, I'll just say it… I once talked to Elder Xu, asking if he had those kinds of feelings for Shen Yi, and the answer I got was no!"
Ya Li's brow furrowed slightly, "Then why didn't Elder Xu make things clear to Shen Yi?"
Turbid World continued to answer, "The reason he hasn't made things clear to Shen Yi is that Elder Xu feared hurting the former, but I think, since there is not even a slight possibility, it's better to clear things up in advance! Hence, I suggested that Elder Xu take this opportunity to make the situation clear!"
He also couldn't bear to watch his own disciple get hurt because Xu Sheng didn't reject outright, and keep hoping there was a chance until being deeply wounded in the end…
As these words came out, the Elders all took a deep breath, not expecting the truth of the matter to be this!
Ya Li replied with a complex expression, "Turbid World Elder, it must have been tough for you, to put in so much effort for Shen Yi!"
Long Yeyue gave a slight nod, "Yes, Shen Yi is a very serious child; once she's set on something, she'll definitely see it through! Clarifying during this event is indeed better!"
Feng Wu Yu coughed slightly, with a hint of apology, "Turbid World, I misunderstood earlier, I take back what I said before, I didn't expect Elder Xu and Shen Yi were in such a situation!"
Turbid World waved his hand, without a hint of blame, "It's alright, after all, as a teacher, to personally sabotage my disciple's love… ah…"
Long Yeyue glanced at the person next to her, "Pavilion Master, by the look of things, you must have known about this already, right?"
Yun Ming nodded faintly, calmly replying, "Yes!"
He also felt it was a pity for such a well-matched pair as Xu Sheng and Shen Yi, but there was nothing to be done; matters of the heart can't be forced!
...
The male students who had also heard Xu Sheng's words, furrowed their brows one after another...
"How could Elder Xu say something like that? Isn't this the Sea God's Pavilion's matchmaking event?"
"Maybe he's just reminding everyone not to persist in pursuing a hopeless romance!"
"I think there's a deeper meaning, Elder Xu is so friendly, he wouldn't just talk nonsense in public like this!"
"Hmm, I don't think it's said offhandedly either, you think, could it be that Elder Xu has feelings for… Teacher Shen…"
"Don't talk nonsense! Elder Xu and Teacher Shen are always so close, how could there be such a thing between them!"
Xie Xie turned to Tang Wulin and said, "Wulin, I don't think it's as simple as that, Teacher Xu never speaks lightly on important matters!"
Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, "Yes! I'm afraid that Teacher Shen… never mind, it's not our place to care!"
It's better not to make wild guesses before the final moment!
Right now, what he needed most was to think about how to express his own feelings to Gu Yue!
Yue Zhengyu shrugged, "I think you're overthinking it. Elder Xu and Teacher Shen are both fine, and here you are, cursing them to break up, tsk!"
Meanwhile, the Sea Fairies standing beside Shen Yi, seeing her in a daze, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Shen, are you alright?"
Shen Yi shook her head, mustering a faint smile, "I'm… I'm fine!"
For some reason, just now, when she heard Xu Sheng's words, she felt inexplicably irritated and even had an ominous premonition...
But judging by the latter's demeanor, also...
Perhaps, it was just her being overly anxious!
Seeing her reaction, the Sea Fairies praised her, "I'm really envious of Teacher Shen, being able to be with Elder Xu; why can't I have such luck!"
"How can you say that, Teacher Shen is also great! Whoever has seen them together, who doesn't find them well-matched?"
"Mmm, but with Teacher Shen here, we don't stand a chance. Otherwise, who would give up on Elder Xu, such a perfect god of men!"
Shen Yi also tenderly responded, "You will all find your other halves who love you!"
Just then, Dai Yun'er, who had been listening to their discussion, pursed her lips disdainfully and stated, "Tch, they're not a match at all. Who Elder Xu will choose remains to be seen!"
However, her voice seemed a bit too loud, abruptly drawing many unfriendly glances from the Sea Fairies...
"Did you just hear that? The exchange student from the Xingluo Empire seemed to be saying that Elder Xu and Teacher Shen aren't a good match!"
"Yeah, I heard it loud and clear. Typical of someone from the Xingluo Empire, speaking without using their brain!"
"How dare she be so arrogant in our Shrek Academy, really living up to her identity as a princess of the Xingluo Empire, isn't she?"
"I really don't understand why the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion allowed this Dai Yun'er in. Oh right, and that Long Yue!"
Shen Yi naturally heard this comment and instantly recognized the identity of Dai Yun'er...
Her mind swiftly recalled the events that had happened in the Xingluo Empire, and a faint hostility began to emerge in her eyes...
Unless she was mistaken, this Dai Yun'er harbored feelings of admiration for Xu Sheng!
Before she could speak, the hot-tempered Xu Meier coldly rebuked, "Dai Yun'er, right? What are you doing at our Shrek Academy instead of acting as the noble Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Xingluo Empire?"
"And besides, you say Elder Xu and Teacher Shen don't match. So who does match, you?"
Dai Yun'er, intimidated by the powerful aura emanating from Xu Meier, took a deep breath and collected her courage to say, "What about me... Everyone has the right to pursue!"
Xu Meier retorted fiercely, "I don't care about your pursuit, but this is Shrek Academy, not your Xingluo Empire. Since you show such disrespect to our Academy's teachers, I'll discipline you on behalf of the Royal family of the Xingluo Empire!"
Having said that, she took out her Destoyer series pistol and aimed it at Dai Yun'er's chest...
The other Sea Fairies hurriedly tried to stop her saying, "Sister Meier, don't get agitated; if you really strike, the consequences will be serious!"
"That's right, Sister Meier, put away your weapon!!"
"She's not worth it for this sort of person!!"
Seeing Xu Meier stirring up trouble again, Cai Yue'er shouted angrily, "Meier, haven't I told you before? Don't point your weapon at others!"
Xu Meier gritted her teeth, somewhat infuriated, "But she..."
However, apparently realizing the coldness in Cai Yue'er's eyes, she chose to close her mouth...
Cai Yue'er said again, "Your qualification to participate in the Sea God's Courtship Event has been canceled. Do you have any objections?"
Reluctance filled Xu Meier's eyes, but knowing she had indeed broken the rules, she shook her head, "No!"
After saying that, she glared fiercely at Dai Yun'er and then left the scene of the Sea God's Courtship Event...
The expression on Cai Yue'er's face eased slightly as she said, "Alright, the Sea God's Courtship Event will continue. Elder Xu, please tell me which Sea Fairy you have in mind!"
Meanwhile, the Sea Fairies' gazes toward Dai Yun'er were filled with distaste...
In their eyes, had it not been for her, Xu Meier wouldn't have been disqualified at all!
