Zhou Yi couldn't help but be surprised at Furina's knowledge of the Academy's internal information, but upon second thought, given the talent and temperament Furina had displayed, she must come from an extraordinary background, so it was not surprising that she knew these things.
Although she had to admit internally that what Furina said made sense, Zhou Yi was still very annoyed by her provocative behavior. "You speak so eloquently and have so many opinions about my teaching methods..."
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, "Why don't you, our Genius student, try being the teacher for once? I'd like to see how much better you can teach than I can?"
A glimmer of pleasant surprise flashed in Furina's eyes. She hadn't expected Zhou Yi to make such a request, which was the perfect opportunity for her to showcase her abilities and attract talent. In her heart, this was undoubtedly a golden opportunity to recruit more excellent students in the future.

Meanwhile, on a shaded path on the other side of the Academy, Xu Sanshi was pacing with a heavy heart, not even noticing when Bei Bei approached.
"What's wrong, Xu Sanshi?" Bei Bei asked with concern, "You look so troubled and absent-minded. Don't tell me you got scolded by Nan Nan and have finally decided to give up on pursuing her?"
Xu Sanshi waved his hand powerlessly: "How could that be? Even if I am rejected by Nan Nan a thousand times, I will not give up."
"Then what is bothering you so much?" Bei Bei asked, puzzled.
Xu Sanshi sighed and explained: "Actually, it's nothing big, just some problems with the Family business."
"The Xuanming Sect can also run into trouble with business?" Bei Bei was quite surprised, "Tell me about it... Of course, if it's inconvenient, never mind."
"It's about the profound water pill." Xu Sanshi lowered his voice and said.
"The profound water pill? The Xuanming Sect's specialty Medicinal Pill, which Spirit Master doesn't know it." Bei Bei was even more confused, "Could the problem be with the profound water pill?"
Xu Sanshi nodded heavily: "Exactly. I don't know how, but recently some small auctions have been auctioning the profound water pill. Although the quantity is not large, it has already exceeded the annual production limit of our Xuanming Sect. With them messing around like this, the market price of the profound water pill has been driven down."
He rubbed his temples in distress: "The most headache-inducing part is that even if our Xuanming Sect steps in personally, we cannot find out the source of the goods from those auctions. They seem to have reached some kind of tacit agreement and are keeping their lips sealed to the outside world."
"I keep hearing Family members talk about these things lately, and it's making me restless."
Bei Bei immediately associated this with Furina. When they first met, she had generously gifted Tang Ya a profound water pill. The Axis Cult was financially powerful; even the lost complete version of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill could be brought out, so it was no surprise that they possessed the Pill Formula for the profound water pill.
Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, Bei Bei could not tell Xu Sanshi directly. After all, he was now considered half a member of the Axis Cult.
"Sigh, just let things take their course." Bei Bei could only console him like this.
"That's all I can do." Xu Sanshi sighed helplessly.
The two walked side by side on the small path of the Academy, each with their own thoughts. Bei Bei was thinking about the true strength of the Axis Cult, while Xu Sanshi was worrying about the Family business. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadows on them, as if foreshadowing that Shrek Academy was about to welcome extraordinary changes.
