Douluo Continent: The Peerless Sun and Moon Traverse the Heavens

Zhou Yi, who had been crossing her legs, quietly put them down. She sat on the sofa with her body slightly bent forward, biting her sharp lower lip and staring at Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng glanced at the outstretched finger, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes:

"First, you don't have enough patience to communicate with students and grow together with them."

They can only wear this mask, using a stern image to conceal their lack of empathy, using the power of a homeroom teacher to conceal the authority that should come from knowledge, and using numerical games like college entrance examination pass rates to conceal the fact that they are not good at teaching.

As a teacher, you have absolutely no responsibility to teach your students.

Xu Cheng retracted one finger, his tone calm and deliberate, his words clear and logical:

"Secondly, you are actually an extreme egoist."

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," is the motto of Shrek Academy. But after causing trouble, one must use one's own abilities to solve the problem.

Hehe, Zhou Yi, what about you?

If you simply refuse to communicate, you can push the subsequent troubles of expelling students onto the teaching affairs office.

What do you rely on? Is it the face under your mask that seduces men? Although Fan Yu is the most promising talent in the academy to break through to the ninth level of Soul Master, his status is not a shield for you to do whatever you want.

They take all the benefits and leave the problems to others?

As a member of Shrek Academy, all you know is how to depend on others and how to harm others for your own benefit.

Zhou Yi's pupils contracted. She glanced at Du Weilun beside her, but quickly moved away after noticing his unpleasant expression.

However, Xu Cheng had no intention of stopping there. His cold words were like knives stabbing straight into Zhou Yi's heart, and he waved his remaining little finger in front of her eyes:

"As for the third point, Teacher Zhou has taught so many students before, and I'm sure many of them are thinking of repaying you. When you leave Shrek City, as long as you take off your mask, no one will be able to recognize you, right?"

The world of Soul Masters is indeed dangerous. Without the protection of Shrek Academy, Teacher Zhou naturally has to consider his own safety.

The three fingers fell in succession, piercing straight to Zhou Yi's heart. Xu Cheng denied her existence based on her three identities:

As a teacher, she is unqualified.

As a member of Shrek Academy, she only cared about her own interests.

As a Soul Master, she can only walk outside Shrek City using the appearance hidden behind the mask.

"You bastard! You're talking nonsense!"

As if remembering something, Zhou Yi stood up from the sofa in a sudden reaction, unleashing the Soul Emperor's aura without restraint, filling the entire office, and a crack appeared in the middle of the mask on her face.

"Enough! Zhou Yi, how long are you planning to keep making a scene?"

Du Weilun couldn't let a teacher run rampant in the disciplinary office. His face darkened completely, and his tone was indifferent and devoid of any emotion: "You are hereby relieved of your position as the third-grade homeroom teacher. Next semester, you will be teaching me from the first grade again."

The Contra's oppressive aura firmly locked onto Zhou Yi, preventing her from acting recklessly.

Zhou Yi was trembling all over, and finally, as if she had lost all her strength, she sank into the sofa with a "thud".

The mask split in two and floated in the air, revealing a beautiful face that was pale and bloodless, with empty, lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling.

Xu Cheng felt a poke in his lower back; it was Han Ruoruo beside him.

Looking down, Xu Cheng saw Han Ruoruo give him a thumbs up. His lips involuntarily curled into a hook, and he raised an eyebrow, giving Han Ruoruo a flirtatious wink.

Clearly, Han Ruoruo was very satisfied with this gossip session.

Xu Cheng: This melon is ripe, tell me, am I amazing?

Even Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, who were originally standing to the side, looked at Xu Cheng with admiration, as if they were looking at a god of war.

Du Weilen cleared his throat: "Zhou Yi, aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhou Yi had recovered her senses by this time and left the office like a walking corpse.

Du Weilun turned to Xu Cheng and asked, "I heard Nan Nan is dropping out of school. Is she going to Mingdu with you guys?"

"Director Du, you should be aware of my situation. If the academy has a solution, it will prioritize treating Xiao Tao. I can only go to Mingdu to see if I can find a suitable opportunity. Nan Nan has been with me for three years. Thank you for your help, Director Du."

Du Weilin waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's no trouble at all; it's all within my duty. Actually, the academy has already received quite a few complaints from students' parents, so we're taking this opportunity to place her in the first year. Alright, you can go back now."

Xu Cheng and Han Ruoruo stood up together and put their arms around Jiang Nannan who was standing next to them:

"Let's go home."

……

As dawn broke, the streets of Shrek City were busier than usual.

This time of year is the season for Shrek City students to have holidays and graduate. There are more carriages coming and going, but they can't hide the desolation of parting.

Outside the shop of the Universal Soul Guide, Xu Cheng was leaning against a carriage.

The two horned horses stood quietly, occasionally exhaling wisps of white breath and scratching their hooves.

Han Ruoruo was talking to Zhang Lexuan while holding her arm, glancing at Xu Cheng every now and then.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya stood facing each other, both with slightly red eyes.

The parting between young girls is always more poignant.

Xu Cheng felt helpless: Is this all women talk about? It's been half an hour already.

Xu Cheng waved to Bei Bei, Tang Ya's boyfriend, who was standing to the side, signaling him to come over and say a few words.

Beibei is the great-grandson of Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, and a Celestial Dragon of Shrek Academy. He has lived on Sea God Island since childhood, and Xu Cheng is no stranger to him.

Xu Cheng put his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder and whispered to him:

"Beibei, I heard you joined Tang Ya's Tang Clan?"

Beibei joined the Tang Sect purely to pick up girls, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Yes, Senior Xu Cheng. Teacher Xiaoya is now my sect leader."

Xu Cheng knew Bei Bei's thoughts and didn't have any objections to their teacher-student play. He came to Shrek Academy to pick up girls, but thinking about Tang Ya's experience, he still offered some advice:

"Bei, listen to your senior's advice. There must be a reason why the Tang Sect has declined to this point. You'd better not believe in that Blue Silver Grass sect leader stuff. Tang San's ancestor had the Blue Silver Emperor and twin martial souls."

Beibei interrupted urgently upon hearing this:

"Senior Xu Cheng, I promised Teacher Xiaoya that I would help her revive the Tang Sect, and that promise will never change."

Xu Cheng shook Bei Bei's shoulder, signaling him to relax:

"If you two want to revive the Tang Sect, the most important thing is to have a child first. If the sect leader lacks talent and strength, how can he command respect from his subordinates, and your sect will never become powerful."

"Ah, this..."

Beibei was so taken aback by Xu Cheng's unusual way of thinking that she was speechless. She lowered her head and stammered softly, "This...this is too early, isn't it?"

"I've been there, listen to me. Women can't be idle. If they're idle, they're prone to overthinking, and then you'll regret it." Xu Cheng patted Bei Bei's shoulder hard twice. "Go and call your Xiao Ya away. These women are going on and on about saying goodbye."

Beibei rushed to Tang Ya as if fleeing, grabbed Tang Ya's hand and turned to leave, saying something like, "If we're any later, we won't be able to leave the city in time," or "We can't wait for the Soul Hunting Time."

Seeing Jiang Nannan walk towards the carriage, Han Ruoruo finally ended her reluctant farewell to Zhang Lexuan. She turned back to wave as she boarded the carriage and asked Xu Cheng:

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Lexuan?"

Xu Cheng raised his whip and lashed it across the horse with a "crack," and the carriage slowly moved forward. He waved in Zhang Lexuan's direction.

"Our journey has just begun. This is not the end. There is still a long way to go, and we will meet again eventually."

The carriage arrived in front of a merchant guild and joined the guild's caravan that had been waiting. Once the caravan saw that the guests they were waiting for had arrived, they ordered everyone to set off together, heading west towards Shrek City.

Three women sat in the carriage. Jiang's mother was not a Soul Master, so she chose to travel by carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was equipped with a simple Soul Guidance Array, so the journey was not too bumpy, just like a long trip.

The caravan was from the Ordinary Merchant Guild of the Sun Moon Empire. Behind it was the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, which mainly controlled the entertainment industry in Mingdu. They happened to have business dealings with Xu Cheng's Universal Soul Guide, and by using their channels, they could save a lot of trouble.

As they drove out of Shrek City, Xu Cheng glanced back.

The lush branches of the golden tree are faintly visible, and the morning sun hangs obliquely in the east, draping the canopy with a layer of scattered gold.

Goodbye, Shrek.
