Chapter 9:Ji Wuchang Gets Beaten Up Because of His Mouth.
Just as the two were immersed in their own world, a rather jarring voice pierced their ears, causing them to separate as if electrocuted.
Looking in astonishment at the source of the sound, they realized there seemed to be someone else in the room.
They had just been getting emotional and were preparing to rekindle their feelings. Fortunately, they hadn't been in such a hurry; even though Ji Wuchang was just a little kid, it would still be embarrassing for him to see them.
Looking at the two, whose faces were slightly flushed, Ji Wuchang had a strange expression.
His body had recovered almost completely with the help of the Life Tree Soul Saint; it was just that his mental energy was too depleted, causing him to be temporarily unconscious.
Who knew that upon waking, he would witness such a rather stimulating scene?
A handsome but clearly middle-aged man was embracing a girl who looked no different from a young girl, kissing her…
Sorry, he had only ever seen such a scene in very serious films…
Compared to Fan Yu's tall and imposing physique, Zhou Yi looked quite petite. The pairing of these two made Ji Wuchang click his tongue.
"Hey! This little brat!"
Ji Wuchang's clicking of his tongue was easily heard by the two, and he was furious.
"Hey, I say, uncle. I think you're not young anymore, why are you still chasing after young girls? This lady is probably much younger than you, right?" Before he was done, Ji Wuchang started his verbal sparring again, and
Fan Yu's face immediately darkened, his lips twitching involuntarily.
As for Zhou Yi, who was standing to the side, her displeasure instantly softened upon hearing this.
This kid, he's quite good at talking.
Zhou Yi chuckled to herself. What woman could resist being praised?
Maybe some? But not Zhou Yi!
Glancing mischievously at her man, Zhou Yi could hardly contain her laughter.
Fan Yu also noticed Zhou Yi's gaze, and his lips twitched again involuntarily.
Damn it, this kind of brat needs to be taught a lesson, so he won't go out and cause trouble for others in the future.
"And this lady, with your looks, why don't you cherish yourself and let an old man ruin you?"
"..."
Ji Wuchang's verbal attack wasn't limited to just one person. He immediately shifted his target.
A little brat lecturing them with such an air of superiority—if word got out, where would they put their faces?
"Beat him up!" ×2
The two pounced on Ji Wuchang simultaneously, their expressions clearly indicating something bad was about to happen.
Ji Wuchang wasn't stupid; he wouldn't just stand there motionless. Although his martial soul seemed temporarily unusable, his physical abilities were undeniable!
Like an eel, he slipped away from their encirclement with a single step:
"Haha, you two idiots..."
Ji Wuchang was about to taunt them when he found himself stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. The couple, however, seemed completely unaffected.
"Go ahead and run! Why aren't you running anymore?" Fan Yu, holding a remote control, sneered at Ji Wuchang.
Zhou Yi, standing to the side, crossed her arms and remained silent.
"Ahem, I was wrong." Realizing he'd messed up, Ji Wuchang quickly backed down. These two didn't have the aura of evil soul masters, and they didn't seem like bad guys.
Ji Wuchang suddenly remembered the three people who had arrived when he was unconscious.
He wondered if they were with those three.
Unfortunately, his boastful words were destined to get him a severe beating.
"Speaking of which, what about those evil spirit masters?"
Only after being double-teamed by the two did Ji Wuchang finally ask the question.
"I don't know, but you were brought back by a tall, thin member of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team," Zhou Yi replied.
"Oh...huh?" Ji Wuchang's mind went blank. What did he just hear?
The Shrek Academy Inspection Team?!
"Members of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team? Those three are from the Shrek Academy Inspection Team?" Ji Wuchang instantly became excited.
His goal was to enter Shrek Academy, and with the help of those three, entering Shrek Academy would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
What bothered him most was not being able to find the way to Shrek Academy. But if he couldn't find it, surely the members of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team couldn't be missing?
"Where are they? Are you also members of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team?" Ji Wuchang asked excitedly.
"I don't know where they are, but they're not here," Zhou Yi shook her head.
"As for whether we're members of the Inspection Team, I can only say yes!" Fan Yu took over the conversation.
"Can you take me to Shrek Academy? I don't even know how long I've been lost!" Ji Wuchang couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhou Yi and Fan Yu exchanged a strange glance.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Freshman Class, Shrek Academy's Outer Courtyard," Zhou Yi said, straightening her clothes.
"Ah? Oh... ha?" Ji Wuchang's tone became unusually odd. Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Ji Wuchang was somewhat bewildered.
So, this girl who'd been taken by an older man was actually one of the teachers at Shrek Academy's Outer Courtyard?!
"Since you're a teacher at Shrek, and so young, why are you with an older man?" Ji Wuchang spoke without thinking again.
Zhou Yi's face darkened. Where was this silly boy's attention?
As for Fan Yu? Sorry, he was already planning to give Ji Wuchang another good scolding.
Being called an "old man" repeatedly, especially an "old cow eating young grass," how could he not be angry?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fan Yu, the vice dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department," Fan Yu said with a forced smile.
"No wonder he can date young girls, turns out he's a vice dean." Ji Wuchang muttered to himself.
"Wait!" He suddenly realized he seemed to have overlooked something, something he had only just remembered.
"I'm doomed!"
Zhou Yi, Fan Yu... aren't they Huo Yuhao's mentor and his wife? He had offended them so badly today, what would his life at Shrek Academy be like from now on?!
Ji Wuchang shuddered.
And what he feared most was whether they would be angry and refuse him admission. Because he wasn't even sure if it was still the admissions period.
"Ahem, teachers, please just let me go like a fart, okay? I won't dare to do it again." With a bitter face, Ji Wuchang said helplessly.
"Hmph!"
How could they forgive Ji Wuchang so easily? When had they ever suffered such humiliation!
Well, it seemed he was bound to be given a hard time in the future.
"Since you're awake, then tell me your identity and martial soul information. I'll take you to register for admission right away." Zhou Yi put on her mask again with a stern face.
Looking at the newly made old woman, although she had expected it, she still couldn't help but want to complain. The difference in her demeanor before and after—were they really the same person?However, Ji Wuchang didn't dare to be sarcastic anymore and seriously explained his situation.
"My name is Ji Wuchang, I'm almost thirteen years old. I'm currently a level 24 Great Soul Master, and my Martial Soul is a sword!" With that, Ji Wuchang released his Martial Soul.
A jet-black longsword, seemingly without any distinguishing features, appeared in his hand. It looked like a fire poker, without any highlights.
But no one could ignore its sharpness; just ask the hundreds of evil Soul Masters who had been cut in half by Ji Wuchang.
"The Martial Soul strength is not bad, and the Soul Power is also above average," Zhou Yi nodded.
Although she didn't know the specific function of that fire poker-like longsword, its powerful aura was undeniable.
As a teacher at Shrek Academy, she never looked down on any Martial Soul.
Because in this world, there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless people!
Tang San, the Sea God, with his Blue Silver Grass as his martial soul, is a good example. Although his Blue Silver Grass isn't just any ordinary Blue Silver Grass…
Suddenly, two glowing spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared, making Zhou Yi's eyes light up: "Your second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring. It seems your physical strength is indeed extraordinary."
Ji Wuchang nodded with a sheepish smile:
"I'm a spirit master from the countryside. I was originally coming to Shrek Academy to participate in the entrance examination, but I encountered an evil spirit master on the way and got separated from my parents. I was only able to survive because I met three senior students from the Shrek Academy Inspection Team."
"Oh? Is that so?" With a strange smile on her lips, Zhou Yi didn't believe Ji Wuchang's boastful words!
"Yes, yes!" Ji Wuchang nodded vigorously with a sincere expression.
"What about your parents? Aren't you worried about them getting separated? If they were captured by an evil spirit master, I think you should know the consequences." Zhou Yi asked again.
"Uh…" Ji Wuchang was instantly embarrassed.
He was now in a dilemma.
If he answered that he was worried, then he wouldn't care at all and would insist on enrolling, which wouldn't be believable as a son. Shrek Academy's admissions process also considers character!
If he answered that he wasn't worried, then his excuse would fall apart. But he couldn't very well go back to Star Soul City to find his parents to prove it, could he? Wouldn't that be like walking right into a trap? He had finally escaped his family's control; he couldn't just go back so easily.
At the very least, he had to wait until he had had his fill of recklessness before talking about it!
"Alright, if you don't want to talk, then don't. Put away your martial soul and come with me to report to Director Du." Zhou Yi ignored Ji Wuchang and turned to walk out the door.
"Well... bye-bye!" After putting away his martial soul, Ji Wuchang quickly followed Zhou Yi out. There was no other way; Fan Yu's face was practically blackened!
Once they were out of the room, Zhou Yi was almost out of sight. Ji Wuchang hurriedly followed, chasing after her with all his might.
However, the gap in strength between him and Zhou Yi was still too great. Zhou Yi walked Ji Wuchang like a dog, keeping him at a distance that he could see but not catch, causing Ji Wuchang to wail inwardly.
