You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"You?" Xiao Yao was even more confused: "You are just a shadow, how can you have the ability to go to the real world?"

"I have told Yu Luying everything and have apologized to her," Teacher Yao did not directly answer Xiao Yao's question. "Yu Luying accepted my advice and agreed to take the course at our school."

Xiao Yao glanced at Yu Luying, who held her head and said, "I'm sorry... I, I really can't remember."

“Even if you want to drop out of school, you shouldn’t burn down the parent-child education center,” Teacher Yao reprimanded gently.

"It wasn't me who burned it..." Yu Luying stammered.

"Yu Luying wants to drop out of school now. Will you let her go?" Shen Jie asked loudly.

"It's not allowed, but since I respect everyone's freedom..."

"And Zhou Qi," Xiao Yao tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl next to Teacher Yao with a complicated expression: "We have been looking for you, and everyone is very worried about you... We all came here to save you."

"Stop talking nonsense," Zhou Qi said with a disdainful smile, "Do I look like someone who needs you to rescue me?"

“You may not understand yet…”

"I understand everything," Zhou Qi interrupted him. "From the beginning, I came here voluntarily. I voluntarily wanted to live with Teacher Yao."

"But he is just Teacher Yao's shadow—"

"Perhaps, he is more real, pure, and lovely than the teacher Yao outside." Zhou Qi let go of teacher Yao's shoulders and took a few steps towards Xiao Yao and others: "The one outside is too deeply bound by responsibilities and worldly views. Too deeply."

"..."

"Xiao Yao, I was wrong to blame you before and treat you like that. Can you help me one more time?" Zhou Qi's expression was actually sincere. "Let's go, leave here, and don't interfere with the life I choose anymore."

"But have you ever thought about it? At least you still have parents and other relatives. They can't lose you, and they are all very worried about you," Xiao Yao said.

Zhou Qi was slightly startled, then curled his lips and said: "They? Care about me? Forget it..."

"Don't waste your breath. I think she is hypnotized, just like Yu Luying just now," Shen Jie suggested, "Let's get started."

"Ah, the girl from another school who flips the table over when she disagrees with someone and always wants to fight," Teacher Yao laughed, "You must be enjoying this feeling of freedom, right? Deep down in your heart, you are still the wild girl who always wants to pick up a baseball bat and smash the windshield..."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Jie said angrily.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about," Teacher Yao laughed boldly, "Just like you peeked into my and Qiqi's memories, I can also see deep into your memories.

"A girl bound by the etiquette of being a lady and aristocrat, longs for true freedom in her heart, doesn't she? That's why you indulge your true nature in my palace.

“When drinking tea, you must clamp your ribs with both arms, leaving no gaps; when holding a teacup, hold the handle with one hand and the bottom of the cup with the other hand, with the tip of your middle finger against the bottom of the cup wall.

“When you wipe your mouth with a napkin, you must use the inside, and you must drink from the same place every time; when you stir the coffee, you must stir it up and down, and the metal spoon must not touch the wall of the cup and make noise…

"Follow your father's request and protect your chastity so that you can marry the person he wants you to marry and sell you for a good price..."

"Shut up--" Shen Jie screamed, and then was hugged by Xiao Yao from behind.

"You've been meaning to pack it all up for a long time, haven't you? You're having a lot of fun swearing and running amok in my halls, aren't you?

"This is the freedom you want. I give each of you the freedom you want."

Teacher Yao ended his long speech and raised his arms high like a savior.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Jie said angrily, "Does your freedom mean that you treat the school as your kingdom, act tyrannically, and open your harem in the principal's office?"

"I am facing my own desires honestly," Teacher Yao said sternly, "Is your seemingly righteous condemnation really for the so-called justice?

"Did you really come here for Qiqi, Yu Luying, and these people? What a joke. You don't care about their lives at all.

"You don't care about classmate Xiao Yao. What you really want is just an exciting and magnificent adventure. You turned my palace upside down just to--"

Shen Jie's personality is indeed a little different from when she was outside, Xiao Yao thought.

"That's enough," Shen Jie turned to Xiao Yao and Yu Luying, "Are we just going to stand here and listen to him sow discord in front of us? Let's just get this over with!"

"Don't worry," Xiao Yao reached out and grabbed Shen Jie's arm again: "Teacher Yao, in my heart, you have always been a good teacher, to me, to Zhou Qi, to everyone, you are a good teacher.

"Your school is also for the freedom of all people, so that they can freely study the courses they want to study and do what they want to do."

"That's right." Flattery never wears out, so Teacher Yao nodded.

"If Zhou Qi wants to stay here, we won't have to take her away." Xiao Yao said in a deep voice.

"What?" Shen Jie was anxious, but Xiao Yao stepped on her foot.

"But please allow me to take Yu Luying and Xiong Ji away, because this is also their freedom."

"Sure." Teacher Yao agreed immediately.

Xiao Yao was slightly surprised: "Thank you."

"Yu Luying," Teacher Yao looked at the girl who lowered her head, "Do you really not want to go back to continue your course? Do you really not want to live with your father again?"

"Dad is gone, he will never come back," Yu Luying said, biting her lip, "but Mom is still here. If I continue to live here, Mom will not be able to live...

"Although my mother in the real world has a bad temper, is very controlling, and is very gloomy, and is not as lovely as she used to be in the parent-child education center, she is my mother after all, and she only has me."

"...I understand." Teacher Yao was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "I can make an exception for you once and let you and your friends leave. But once you leave here, you can never go back."

"I know, thank you...you." Yu Luying said.

Teacher Yao waved her hand, and Zhou Qi walked to the door behind the "Principal's Office" and opened it.

Is it really that simple? Xiao Yao couldn't believe it.

"Do you really want to leave Zhou Qi here?" Shen Jie did not move.

"A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Let's go out first, and then discuss the next things with Father Yu..." Xiao Yao whispered to her: "We can't continue fighting now, right?"

Although Shen Jie was very reluctant, she still agreed with Xiao Yao's words: "What about your buddy Xiong Ji? Is he also left here?"

"Why hasn't Xiong Ji come yet? Didn't I call him? This kid..." Teacher Yao looked at the door that Xiao Yao came in through: "When he comes, if he wants to leave, I will never stop him."

"Go out through this door," Zhou Qi urged, "I will help you erase all your memories of the temple, and then send you back to the outside world."

"Erase memory?" Xiao Yao was shocked.

"Don't worry, these are just memories from the hall." Zhou Qi explained, "You know too many secrets that you shouldn't know... The principal must also protect the peace and reputation of the entire school."

"I won't!" "Don't even think about it!" Xiao Yao and Shen Jie shouted in unison.

It was in this hall that Shen Jie and I saved each other's lives several times and established a deep comradeship, Xiao Yao thought.

It was also here that Shen Jie and I hugged and held hands many times, and she finally decided to treat me as the son-in-law of the Shen family.

I can’t let this all go to waste and go back to the relationship that we had before.

I can never accept it.

"The memories here contain things that I must protect at all costs." Xiao Yao told Teacher Yao.

A cloud of black mist began to condense around Teacher Yao, and his voice gradually changed: "You don't agree with my philosophy, but I don't blame you. You don't accept my gift, but I don't want to force you.

“Now, I understand the righteousness of the matter and allow you to come and leave with a clean record, but you still don’t accept it.

"Don't you understand your situation? Do you think I look particularly easy to talk to? Do you think I'm begging you to get out?"

"No one expects a pervert like you to have good intentions! Who knows if your memory erasure will turn us into puppets like them." Shen Jie shouted.

"Shen Jie, you are not my student. This is your first time at my school, so I am looking forward to creating some unique sparks between us. That is why I have been giving you face. However, it is really heartbreaking that you have taken advantage of the face I gave you and indulged yourself in this way."

"Bah! Disgusting!" Shen Jie grabbed the plastic bucket, swung it around and threw it at Teacher Yao.

Xiao Yao had long been accustomed to Shen Jie's routine of attacking the monsters, so he also rushed forward, ready to give this fake Teacher Yao a hard shield slam in the face.

"Next time, please let the tank attack the monster first!" Xiao Yao shouted.

Facing the flying bucket, Teacher Yao neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, she stood still with her hands on her waist and with a loud shout, the bucket was bounced back and hit Shen Jie on the head.

Xiao Yao was halfway through his rush when he was suddenly attacked by the sound wave and felt dizzy instantly.

Fortunately, Lao Tang did not let him down at this moment, allowing him to raise his shield.

A shadow emerged behind Teacher Yao - the monster had three heads. The middle one was a male head with flames coming out of its mouth, and on both sides were the heads of a bull and a sheep.

Its legs are like a rooster's legs, and it has a snake tail behind it.

It had a beast that looked like a lion riding on its lap.

It's called a lion, but it has wings and a neck like a dragon...

It's not a Chinese dragon, but the kind of dragon commonly seen in Western fantasy.

This... is this Teacher Yao’s spiritual fortress?

Teacher Yao threw away his purple cloak and punched the shield head-on. The huge impact force made Xiao Yao unable to support his knees. Then there was one punch, and another.

"Poor Yao Qi... this insect, even his shadow is so kind and cowardly." Teacher Yao's mouth did not move at all. The extremely unpleasant sound came from the belly of the monster behind him: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished."

Teacher Yao's fist smashed into the shield, leaving horrifying dents. The huge noise of the metal collision roared in the not-so-big room. Even Shen Jie and Yu Luying, who were a little further away, were shaken so hard that they were dizzy and unable to stand. They collapsed to the ground.

"Yu Luying, use your spiritual fortress!" Shen Jie shouted, "My fortress power has been used up!"

"What fortress, what spirit?" Yu Luying said in confusion: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

She was also under the same tremendous pressure that Xiao Yao was under, and she collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.

"Damn, your armored female knight, the one with the flying axe!" Shen Jie was furious: "Is she only going to use it to hit us?"

Yu Luying's vision went dark and she was unable to speak.

Because not only did Xiao Yao's eyes go black, but his internal organs were churning and blood was oozing out of his nose and ears. He could only rely on instinct to use the shield to protect his body, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

If Teacher Yao wanted to, he could punch Xiao Yao's head into the floor at any time, but he refused to do so.

He just swung his fists to show off, repeatedly hitting the shield on Xiao Yao's body that was the only part that could still withstand attacks.

"Poor Yao Qi," said the phantom of the monster behind Teacher Yao, "You're actually going to send them back? Now that these top-notch people are here, isn't it a sin to let them go?

"Oh, clever Miss Shen Jie, are you actually worried that I am erasing your memories of the palace in order to turn you into puppets like them?"

The monster's voice resounded like a bell: "They are just empty shells, and you are souls with free will. How could I be so wasteful?"

The shield turned into a twisted piece of scrap metal, and the thunderous attack finally came to an end.

Shen Jie and Yu Luying had already lost consciousness, and Xiao Yao was also dying.

Teacher Yao extended his hand with satisfaction and let Zhou Qi put the velvet cloak on him, but Zhou Qi looked at him with a hint of complexity.

He sat down on the chair Zhou Qi brought to him, and looked at the immobile Xiao Yao with interest: "I really don't intend to lie to you, I'm not interested in men. As long as you nod and obey, I'll help you remember clearly, you can go back to class and sleep, go online after school, hang around for three years and find a factory to screw screws, and your life will be over, what a wonderful future.

"But you didn't make good use of the opportunities I gave you." Teacher Yao reached out and grabbed Xiao Yao's hair, lifted him up, and turned around as if he wanted to tell Zhou Qi something.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. A beam of golden light shone in, dazzling Teacher Yao's eyes.

"Where did this villain come from?" Teacher Yao pushed Xiao Yao away and blocked the light with his hands.

Xiao Yao also struggled to turn his head and look over. The only one who could help at this time should be that strange knight in white.

Looking against the light, Xiao Yao felt that the figure of the white knight seemed to have become shorter and fatter. He was no longer as tall and handsome as he had been when he met him before, and his behavior was also a bit funny - why did that beam of light look more and more like a flashlight?

"Xiong Ji?!" Zhou Qi on the side called out the name of the person who came. When Xiao Yao heard it, his eyes went dark.

He really wanted to shout out, asking Xiong Ji not to get involved in this mess and to run away quickly, but he opened his mouth for a long time and no sound came out.

"I thought you were still dreaming of immortality in that little refrigerator." Teacher Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiong Ji. He snapped his fingers, and the originally dim room became as bright as day. The light from Xiong Ji's flashlight was instantly swallowed up.

"So what? I'm telling you, before I lose my temper, quickly release everyone and I may consider sparing your life..."

Xiong Ji seemed to want to make a righteous statement, but Teacher Yao had lost his patience. Without waiting for Xiong Ji to finish his words, he suddenly leaped forward, took out a two-handed six-blade hammer from under his cloak, raised it high, and smashed it down on Xiong Ji's head.

Seeing this, Xiong Ji lost the heroic spirit he had when he first broke in and immediately started running away in panic.

"Help me, hero!"

Are you here to make fun of me? Xiao Yao was furious, but he could do nothing about it.

Teacher Yao was going to kill him, how could Xiao Xiong escape? Just as his head was about to be smashed into his chest, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves. In the side mirror, a knight in white clothes and a white horse rushed out like lightning, holding a lance in his hand and stabbing straight at Teacher Yao from the side and back!

The angle at which the knight appeared was extremely tricky, and Teacher Yao's attention was all focused on the little bear, so he had no time to react and was instantly pierced by the lance.

The knight continued to charge forward without losing momentum, until he was pinned to the mirror opposite like a specimen.

You can actually nail someone into this mirror and it won't break...

"Why did you come just now?!" Xiong Ji came to check on Xiao Yao's injuries while complaining to the White Knight in shock - it seemed that his previous bluff was a double act agreed upon with the Knight.

"I asked you to calm him down, not to provoke him." The White Knight's voice was low and emotionless. He let go of his lance and turned his horse's head. The white horse kicked up and kicked Zhou Qi, who was trying to rush up desperately, into the corner of the wall.

"You didn't tell me how to keep steady." Xiao Xiong helped Xiao Yao up and asked about his injuries with concern.

"You despicable villain!" Seeing Zhou Qi injured, Teacher Yao screamed and grabbed the lance with both hands, trying to free himself.

The White Knight dismounted, drew his sword, cut a piece from his purple velvet cloak, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth with disgust. Then Teacher Yao could only make a whimpering sound.
