A woman's cold, sharp voice rang out.

"Don't you understand?"

Beibei and Tangya exchanged a glance and frowned simultaneously.

"It's Hoba-sensei's voice."

"Beibei said in a low voice."

"The other one seems to be...Professor Zhou Yi?"

Tang Ya nodded.

"They started arguing too?"

Without hesitation, Beibei turned and walked towards the door.

Tang Ya followed behind him, and the two quickly crossed the corridor and arrived at the courtyard outside the medical room.

In the courtyard, two figures faced each other.

Fan Yu stood on the steps, her brows furrowed, her face full of helplessness, but her spirits were still relatively good.

Zhou Yi stood opposite him, arms crossed, her cold face full of dissatisfaction.

The students and teachers around stood at a distance, not daring to approach or make a sound.

"Fanyu, are you coming with me or not?"

Zhou Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sharp and imposing air.

"You've seen the state of the college. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later!"

Fan Yu took a deep breath, her tone filled with patience.

“Zhou Yi, don’t be impulsive. The academy is going through a difficult time right now. How can I leave?”

"Impulse?"

Zhou Yi gave a cold laugh.

"This isn't an impulsive act; it's a clear-headed decision!"

Her voice rose a few decibels.

"Fan Yu, look at Shrek Academy now. What's left? The strongest members are all lying in the infirmary. The academy's treasure trove has been emptied, and its millennia-old reputation has been ruined in an instant! Tell me, what hope is there for an academy like this?"

Beibei heard these words as soon as she stepped out of the medical room.

His steps faltered abruptly, and his heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by something.

Every word Zhou Yi spoke was like a knife, stabbing deeply into his heart.

Shrek Academy is finished. What's left? What hope is there?

Beibei's face turned pale instantly.

Although he already knew these things in his heart, he still found it hard to accept when someone said them so bluntly and when these words clearly reached his ears.

"Teacher Zhou."

Beibei stepped forward, trying to keep her voice calm.

"What...what do you mean by saying all this?"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhou Yi turned her head and looked at Bei Bei, her cold and sharp eyes showing no sign of backing down.

"What I mean is, I'm taking Fan Yu away from this academy."

Beibei was stunned.

"Leave?"

"Yes, leave."

Zhou Yi nodded, her tone crisp and decisive.

"I've already explained why. Shrek Academy is no longer viable. Staying here will only be a waste of time and a waste of life."

Beibei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"Beibei, don't mind it."

Fan Yu quickly spoke up, her tone tinged with apology.

"That's just Zhou Yi's temper; she speaks her mind. I won't leave Shrek Academy, don't worry."

He looked at Beibei and added earnestly.

“I studied and grew up at Shrek Academy. The academy nurtured me, and now that the academy needs me, how could I possibly abandon it?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi's face instantly darkened.

"Fanyu, can't you see the situation clearly?"

Her voice carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.

"Shrek Academy has become a joke! Do you know what people outside are saying about us?"

She pointed in the direction of the medical room, her voice growing louder and louder.

"The elders of the Sea God Pavilion, fifteen titled Douluo, were all defeated by one person in just two moves!"

"Tell me, what future does this kind of college have? What's worth staying for?"

Her gaze swept over Beibei and Tang Ya, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"You're still here guarding what? Guarding an empty shell?"

Beibei's hands were clenched into fists inside her sleeves.

He knew that what Zhou Yi said was true.

But it was precisely because it was true that he felt even worse.

Chapter 247 Moon Awakens: How's Shrek?

The students and teachers nearby all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound. This was a conflict between Shrek Academy's current top fighter and his wife.

However, they did not expect Zhou Yi to say such a thing at this time.

"Zhou Yi!"

Seeing that Beibei's expression was getting worse and worse, Fanyu quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Zhou Yi turned her head, glanced at Fan Yu, snorted coldly, and didn't reply.

Standing beside Beibei, Tang Ya finally couldn't hold back after hearing Zhou Yi's words.

She stepped forward, raised her head, and looked directly into Zhou Yi's cold and fierce eyes, her voice carrying a hint of anger.

“Teacher Zhou, I originally thought you were a very good teacher. You were strict with your students and with yourself. Although you had a bad temper, you were at least a responsible person.”

Her voice trembled slightly.

"But I never expected that you would say such outrageous things when Shrek Academy is facing difficulties."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Zhou Yi's words also apply to Tang Ya. Currently, only she and Bei Bei remain in the Tang Sect. However, generally speaking, Bei Bei is still a member of Shrek Academy, while only she is a member of the Tang Sect.

My Tang Clan was almost wiped out, and the only remaining lineage was with me. Now, am I not just guarding an empty shell?

“My situation is similar to Beibei’s. The Tang Clan is in decline now, but it is still my Tang Clan, the Tang Clan that my father passed down to me. No matter what, I will protect it for the rest of my life!”

Zhou Yi looked at Tang Ya, remained silent for a moment, and then let out a cold laugh.

"Are you done talking?"

Her tone carried a hint of disdain.

"Now that you've finished speaking, I'll say a few words too."

She crossed her arms and looked down at Tang Ya.

"You know you're guarding an empty shell? You know your Tang Clan is declining? Then what are you guarding? Is it even meaningful?"

"You call that responsibility?"

Zhou Yi's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

"That's called stupidity."

Tang Ya's face instantly turned bright red.

"you--"

"What about me?"

Zhou Yi interrupted her, her tone even more sharp.

“I’m telling the truth. Is there any hope for your Tang Clan? Can it regain its former glory? You know better than anyone else that it’s impossible.”

"What is it if not foolishness to cling to a Tang Clan that can never be restored?"

Tang Ya's body trembled slightly, and her lips quivered a few times, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Beibei reached out and gently took Tang Ya's hand, silently supporting her.

"Teacher Zhou."

Beibei raised her head, looked at Zhou Yi, and spoke calmly.

"You say it's foolish for Tang Ya to guard an empty shell, then what about you?"

Zhou Yi was slightly taken aback.

"Shrek Academy has nurtured you for so many years. You studied here, grew here, and became a respected teacher here."

Beibei's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"Now that Shrek Academy is in danger, you have chosen to leave."

He paused, then asked, word by word.

"So what?"

Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her cold and stern demeanor.

She said coldly.

"I have nurtured so many talents for Shrek Academy. My class has always had the highest pass rate. My contributions have long since repaid the academy for its cultivation."

"Now, I owe the academy nothing."

Beibei was silent for a moment.

"So, you think you can leave once the debt is paid off?"

"right."

Zhou Yi nodded, her tone crisp and decisive.

I owe no one anything.

Seeing the two getting increasingly tense, Fan Yu quickly stepped forward and stood between Zhou Yi and Bei Bei.

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

He first looked at Zhou Yi, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Zhou Yi, calm down first, don't get so angry."

Then he turned his head and looked at Beibei and Tangya.

"Don't take it to heart. That's just Zhou Yi's temper. She speaks her mind directly, but she doesn't mean any harm. Right now, she's worried about the college's affairs, so she's a little out of it."

He paused for a moment, then added.

"Don't worry, no matter what others think, I will not leave Shrek Academy."

Looking at Fan Yu's serious face, Bei Bei felt a surge of warmth in her heart and nodded.
