"They are right. Mingwei's talent and ability are obviously excellent. She should not be left out of the core disciple rewards. Among all the students here, is there anyone who has a level 24 spirit power at the age of nine, and is there anyone whose first two spirit rings are a thousand years old?"

"And my teammate Huo Yuhao, he clearly..."

Wang Dong wanted to speak up for Huo Yuhao and asked the academy not to use anything to disgust him temporarily. But Huo Yuhao interrupted him and said in a calm voice:

"I am indeed lacking in talent and ability. I have nothing to say about receiving the temporary core disciple reward, but Mingwei's talent is so good, she should not be left without a reward."

Du Weilun did not expect that anyone would question the college's decision, but he thought it would be better to make the matter clear, otherwise it would not be worth it if it caused any negative impact on the college.

"It's like this. Mingwei was involved in a poisoning case. The college is currently investigating. If it is found that Mingwei has nothing to do with this incident, then the college will pay out the rewards and compensation that should be given."

"Poisoning case?"

Ming Wei: “?!”

Mingwei was completely stunned, confused and shocked.

She thought Du Weilun would say that she had applied to drop out and would no longer be a student of Shrek Academy, but she didn't expect him to say that.

As for the poisoning case, Mingwei didn't know how she was involved.

Although she had taken action several times, she was sure that even if Tang San came, he would not be able to find out. Moreover, it had been so long since the incident, if they wanted to settle the score with her, they would have done it long ago, why did it have to be her turn now?

"What kind of poisoning case is this? Who poisoned whom? How did it involve Ming Wei? She has been with us almost every day these days. How could she have the opportunity to poison us?"

Wang Dong felt very unfair for Mingwei and subconsciously questioned her. She was very sure that Mingwei had nothing to do with the poisoning case and that she must have been framed by someone.

But Mingwei suddenly thought of something, and some details from the past seemed to connect together to form an answer.

Chapter 35: No Corn, No Sweet Dates

Du Weilun's next words also verified Mingwei's guess.

"Your roommate was found to have been poisoning Teacher Zhou Yi for a long time. Today, she was caught on the spot while poisoning Teacher Zhou Yi again. You, who live in the same dormitory with her, are also suspected."

What Du Weilun said was quite clear. His reason seemed very reasonable and there was no logical problem.

At least most of the eleven or twelve-year-old children present believed what he said and thought that Mingwei was just unlucky and was implicated by his roommate. This was the college's cautious consideration, but the college would definitely find out the truth and clear Mingwei's name.

"Oh, then let's check it out."

Mingwei acted very indifferent, without a trace of nervousness or worry.

She wasn't really a nine-year-old child. If others couldn't see what Shrek meant, could she not see it? It was precisely because she had seen through the meaning of Shrek Academy's move that she was even more disappointed.

Du Weilun was slightly surprised when he saw Mingwei, who was extraordinarily calm. He began to doubt whether the academy's approach was correct.

Ming Wei had been investigated by the college countless times. In the Mo Junjun poisoning case, she was indeed not a suspect at all. She just happened to be unlucky enough to live in the same dormitory with Mo Junjun.

The reason why the college did this was just to suppress Mingwei.

Mingwei's talent and ability are indeed first-rate, and she is the best among the freshmen of this year. But at the same time, she also has a characteristic that makes the college dare not use her with confidence.

Ming Wei is too arrogant. She looks calm, but she is more arrogant than anyone else. She will never be willing to be controlled. If she cannot suppress her arrogance, it is likely to backfire.

In order to suppress Mingwei's arrogance, the academy adopted a training method of giving a sweet reward after a hard time.

But looking at Mingwei's expression, it seemed that the blow had no effect on her.

Suddenly, I couldn't give away the "sweet dates" in my hand.

Du Weilun called the three people into his office, intending to complete the task assigned to him by the college.

To lay the groundwork, Du Weilun first talked about the fact that Huo Yuhao did not become a core disciple. Huo Yuhao accepted his explanation well because he did not care that much about it.

But Ming Wei could not accept Du Weilun's explanation. She could not bear to see Huo Yuhao being wronged.

“What’s wrong with a one-ring spirit ring? What’s wrong with a ten-year spirit ring? Can you judge whether a student is excellent based on these things? What if you are wrong, Huo Yuhao does not have a one-ring spirit ring, or that spirit ring is not ten years old, or he has other cards?”

Mingwei didn't quite understand. It was really funny that the teachers in an academy that claimed to be the best in the continent actually used these things that could be used to distinguish good from bad at a glance to determine whether a student was excellent and whether he was worth training.

If we cannot teach students in accordance with their aptitude, find the shining points of each student and promote them, how can we be called good teachers and a good academy?

Huo Yuhao, who was standing by, originally thought that Ming Wei had discovered that he had concealed the age of his spirit ring, but after listening carefully he realized that Ming Wei was just making an analogy.

"Our college has been standing for thousands of years and has trained countless outstanding students. We still have a good eye for people."

Du Weilun's words meant that they would never make a mistake and they believed that Huo Yuhao was worth just this much.

“Although Huo Yuhao works very hard and has some talent and potential, it is still far from enough. Compared with Wang Dong, he is far worse than you. Huo Yuhao, what do you think?”

"Ming Wei and Wang Dong are indeed excellent."

Du Weilun: ...

Sincerity is always the secret weapon. The other party will not accept your provocation and will acknowledge your vision.

"Okay, this is the reward I got for you from the academy. It's a piece of the right leg bone of the Kongming Demon Leopard. It can increase the speed of the soul master and provide an attack skill. It's very suitable for you."

As Du Weilun handed the soul bone to them, he also carefully introduced the origin and characteristics of this soul bone and asked them to keep it confidential.

After talking about the championship reward, Du Weilun brought up the poisoning case involving Ming Wei.

"You are young and you have just entered the academy. The academy and I do not believe that you are related to the poisoning case, but you still have to go through the necessary procedures. The academy will definitely clear your name, so you don't have to worry too much."

Think about it from another perspective. If it is an ordinary nine-year-old child, who is helpless and has lost his memory, and has just entered a very good college, he is suddenly implicated by his roommate and becomes a suspect in a poisoning case.

You must have felt helpless and confused, probably as if the sky had fallen. Moreover, when you were still not cleared of suspicion, the academy said some words that they believed in your innocence. You must have been deeply moved.

By the time the college clears his name and gives him some compensation as a sweetener, I'm afraid he will be completely loyal to the college.

It’s a pity that Mingwei is not an ordinary child, and she doesn’t like to eat corn or sweet dates.

"I'm not worried. This matter has nothing to do with me. What I want to know more now is how is Teacher Zhou? Classmate Mo Junjun, how are you going to deal with it?"

Ming Wei didn't respond to Du Weilun's words at all, and the other party was helpless and just said:

"Teacher Zhou is fine, he is just receiving treatment to cleanse the residual toxins in his body. As for Mo Junjun's affairs, it is not your business."

Yes, even if a great soul master concocted some clever poisons, how could he be a match for a soul emperor? However, Du Weilun's words actually revealed a piece of news, that is, Mo Junjun was still alive.

This is all Mingwei wants to know.

"I want to go visit Teacher Zhou. I wonder if it's possible."

Mingwei continued, saying that it was said to be a visit, but in fact it was a questioning.

She wanted to ask Zhou Yi why she suppressed her application for withdrawal. Judging from the reactions of Shrek Academy and Du Weilun, they didn't know that she had already submitted her application for withdrawal.

When Zhou Yi accepted her application for withdrawal, she clearly told her to complete the freshman assessment first. She couldn't just abandon Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong halfway. After the freshman assessment was over, her application for withdrawal should have been approved.

But now, she was asking about her expulsion notice? Where did it go? Why was she still on the class list?

"of course can."

Du Weilun also told Mingwei where to find Zhou Yi.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally accompanied Ming Wei, because after the class division, Zhou Yi was still their class teacher.

"We should indeed go visit Teacher Zhou, and she will definitely believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. Mingwei, you are too unlucky to be implicated like this by your roommate."

Wang Dong's words and tone showed that she believed Du Weilun's words.

"Mingwei, don't worry. The academy will definitely clear your name. By then, you will get all the rewards and compensation you deserve. Just wait a little longer."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 36: Determined to Leave

Huo Yuhao spoke right after him, saying that he was a kid who had been fooled just like Wang Dong.

"How can I feel at ease with you two? Doesn't the academy know that I'm innocent?"

"They have investigated me inside and out at least three times. Today was the third time. I think they even turned my dormitory upside down. They should have known that I had nothing to do with this matter."

"what?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were both shocked: "If the academy knew that you had nothing to do with this, why would they do this?"

"Of course I give you a stick and then a sweet date!"

Speaking of sweet dates, Ming Wei raised the thing wrapped in soul bone in his hand.

"Why is the academy suppressing you? Are they crazy?"

The two were not too stupid, and they already understood something when Mingwei said this.

But they both agreed that the academy was crazy to suppress a genius.

But they didn't know that what Shrek Academy wanted was a genius who was completely devoted to them and could be firmly controlled by them. No matter how great his future achievements were, that heart would never fly away.

"Who knows? Maybe Dean Yan doesn't like me, or they see that I'm rebellious and they're afraid they can't control me!"

"That's ridiculous!"

Wang Dong was extremely disappointed. She felt in her heart that Shrek Academy should not be like this.

But compared to that inexplicable feeling, she trusted her good friend more.

"So I don't want this sweet date. I'll give it to you, Wang Dong. You didn't take it last time. If you don't like this one, you can sell it for some money."

Ming Wei said this and stuffed the soul bone in her hand to Wang Dong. The latter didn't want it either, but she didn't want to force it on Ming Wei and make her feel uncomfortable, so she accepted the soul bone first.

When the three found Zhou Yi, several teachers happened to walk out. One of them was Teacher Li from the Tree of Life, whom they had met once.

"I told you I'm fine. I'm a Soul Emperor after all. Don't I know if there's anything wrong with my body?"

Zhou Yi's complaints came from inside, and she still sounded full of energy, and it didn't seem like there was anything serious going on.

"What do you mean it's alright? If you let that little girl poison you for a few more years, you won't know how you died. How could she, a little girl in her teens, get so many strange poisons? She's been poisoning you for so long, and you didn't even notice it."

Fan Yu was accompanying Zhou Yi, and there was worry in his tone.

"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Fanyu."

The three of them stood at the door and knocked on the door frame. When they saw the three of them, especially Ming Wei, they both felt awkward for a moment, but they quickly concealed it.

"Mr. Zhou, how are you?"

Among the three, Huo Yuhao was the most worried about Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi was strict, she had always been optimistic about Huo Yuhao and took care of him.

"I'm fine. You came to see me because of Mingwei. Don't worry, Mingwei. Although that girl is your roommate, the academy will definitely clear your name soon..."

As soon as Zhou Yi opened her mouth, Ming Wei knew what she wanted. She knew that she was also acting and speaking the arranged lines. She was tired of listening to it, but she started acting it out one by one.

"I'm not here for the poisoning case. I'm here to ask, what about the application for withdrawal that Teacher Zhou Yi agreed to for me? You said that I would finish the freshman assessment first, and then the withdrawal procedures would be completed after the assessment. But why is my name still on the class division list, and why was I moved to your class on purpose?"

Ming Wei’s words made Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stand there in a daze, and they were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

When Zhou Yi saw the reactions of the two people, she knew that they didn't know that Mingwei was going to drop out of school, so she didn't rush to explain and waited for the two people to win over her heart.

"Mingwei, what did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?"

This is Wang Dong who is deceiving himself and thinking he just heard it wrong.

"Mingwei, why did you suddenly want to drop out of school? Why didn't you tell us?"

Huo Yuhao had vaguely sensed this before, and he couldn't understand why something was hidden from him.

"You heard me right. I am planning to leave Shrek Academy. I wanted to tell you before I left. I didn't mean to leave secretly without telling you."

Seeing that he was about to leave and might never see her again, Mingwei explained with rare patience.

But neither Huo Yuhao nor Wang Dong could accept her leaving, especially Huo Yuhao.

"Can't we just stay? Wouldn't it be fun for the three of us to compete together? There will be many other competitions in the future. Are you confident about the two of us?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong said together that they wanted Ming Wei to stay.

But Ming Wei just shook his head gently, turned to look at Zhou Yi, and his voice naturally became a little colder.

"You withheld my application for withdrawal. You want me to stay. Why?"

Mingwei couldn't quite understand why they didn't like to speak their mind.

Zhou Yi opened her mouth and hesitated for once.

What could she say? Should she say that she was afraid that refusing Mingwei's offer to drop out of school would affect her mentality, and that she would not take the competition seriously?

"Because staying here is your best choice. Your martial soul is a very rare spiritual attribute. Without the support of the teachers of Shrek Academy, it will be difficult for you to achieve great success. It will only waste your talent."

Zhou Yi acted as if she was doing this for Mingwei's own good, but this was exactly what Mingwei disliked.
