Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Expel me? Zhou Yi, are you insane?"

In the office, Dai Huabin was shocked beyond words when he heard Zhou Yi's decision to expel him.

A mere teacher from the foreign studies department dared to expel him?

After all, Zhou Yi was only a Soul Emperor.

"And you, Zhou Yi, by what right are you expelling me? What qualifications do you even have to expel me? I'm a core disciple," Dai Huabin gritted his teeth. Wasn't it just a scuffle with Qian Ran during the assessment? He had his reasons for it, and besides, he hadn't even beaten Qian Ran — Qian Ran had punched him a few times instead.

"Hmph. During the advancement assessment, you recklessly unleashed your martial soul without regard for the rules, nearly involving innocent students nearby. If everyone acted like you and started brawling on campus whenever they felt like it, what would be the point of academy regulations? Both Dean Yan Shaozhe and Director Du Weilun witnessed your conduct today. Do you think you're blameless?"

"While I may not be able to expel you, Director of Discipline Du Weilun certainly can. Given his disposition, he'd probably waste no time in kicking you out." Dai Huabin had also unjustifiably killed a thousand-year-old spirit beast from the academy, which had already soured Du Weilun's impression of him.

And now, Dai Huabin had assaulted Qian Ran in the Beast Arena right in front of them. He'd truly humiliated himself on a grand scale.

A chill ran through Dai Huabin. He was starting to realize just how inappropriate his actions had been.

But his fiancée had been in another man's arms, being shamelessly fondled—who wouldn't be outraged at that? And Dai Huabin had a naturally explosive temper to begin with.

He'd seen Qian Ran brazenly touching Zhu Lu's thigh and certain private areas in the arena. Due to Zhu Lu's body blocking his view, Dai Huabin could only see Qian Ran's arm, so he wasn't sure if Qian Ran's hand was doing anything even more indecent.

But still!

Seeing Zhu Lu's expression gave him a pretty good idea!

That beast, Qian Ran!

He'd been with Zhu Lu for six or seven years without ever crossing the line with her. It wasn't that he didn't desire Zhu Lu's body; he just feared it would make her resent him. If she harbored any dissatisfaction toward him, it would affect their martial soul fusion technique, and thus his strength.

If it weren't for this concern, he'd have already lost control and had his way with her. Zhu Lu's figure was so perfect—she'd be an absolute delight in bed.

Damn it.

He didn't even know when Qian Ran had managed to steal her from under his nose.

And now they wanted to expel him? Ridiculous!

If he were to leave Shrek Academy, wouldn't that make it even easier for Qian Ran? How would he get his revenge on Qian Ran and that slut Zhu Lu then?

If he left, Qian Ran and Zhu Lu could carry on their affair without a care in the world, and he wasn't about to let that happen.

"Anything else is negotiable, but I will absolutely not allow myself to be expelled."

"If you insist on expelling me, then be prepared to face the wrath of the White Tiger Duke's House. After this, the prodigies of the Dai family will no longer attend Shrek Academy," Dai Huabin threatened, refusing to be expelled under any circumstances.

"You can make decisions for the Dai family?" Zhou Yi raised her eyebrows. Shrek Academy thrived in large part due to its collaboration with powerful families. If all of these families' disciples stopped enrolling, Shrek Academy's reputation would quickly decline.

There's no such thing as a useless martial soul, only useless spirit masters.

However, without quality martial souls, even Shrek Academy couldn't produce strong spirit masters.

The Shrek Seven Devils had always possessed top-tier martial souls, mostly originating from prominent spirit master families. Dai Huabin's threat wasn't entirely empty.

"I will be the next White Tiger Duke," Dai Huabin lifted his chin with pride.

"Hmph. Who can say for sure? But if you want to avoid expulsion, I can arrange for you to transfer out of this class. The condition is that you must first earn Qian Ran's forgiveness." Zhou Yi cast a glance at Qian Ran.

"Zhou Yi, are you out of your mind?"

"Qian Ran is the one who stole my fiancée, and they're all over each other, whispering sweet nothings. I'm the victim here! And you want me to seek his forgiveness?" Dai Huabin could hardly believe his ears. What kind of twisted situation was this?

Wasn't Zhou Yi known for her strictness and sense of justice?

He admitted that his rash actions had caused trouble for the academy, but he didn't see anything wrong with hitting Qian Ran.

Why should he apologize to Qian Ran? That bastard should be the one kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

The humiliation of losing his fiancée was an unforgivable disgrace!

Dai Huabin was practically shaking with rage.

Until now, he'd thought Zhou Yi, though severe, was fair-minded. He never expected her to be so unreasonable.

"What? You have a problem with my judgment?" Zhou Yi unleashed her martial soul, letting the pressure of a Soul Emperor's power crush down on Dai Huabin.

"Why should I? Why the hell should I have to apologize to Qian Ran? Give me one good reason!" Dai Huabin roared, feeling unjustly persecuted for the first time in his life. He'd always been the one pushing others around, like that waste from his family, Huo Yuhao.

"A reason? How about the fact that I'm your homeroom teacher?" Zhou Yi said coldly.

"And besides, what's wrong with Zhu Lu being with Qian Ran? Did he force her? Zhu Lu is with Qian Ran because she likes him. What does that have to do with you?"

"As for whether Zhu Lu is your fiancée, that's not something the academy is concerned with. If you want her back, improve yourself instead of barking here like a dog." Zhou Yi's voice was icy, showing Dai Huabin no mercy.

"Zhou Yi, did you just call me a dog?" Dai Huabin clenched his fists, glaring furiously at Zhou Yi. She was merely a Soul Emperor, hardly a powerhouse by his family's standards. How dare she insult him like this? His family had plenty of people more powerful than a Soul Emperor—who did Zhou Yi think she was?

"What, I can't? You have an issue with it? If you plan to strike a teacher, even the White Tiger Duke's House won't be able to protect you." Zhou Yi sneered. Shrek Academy would certainly not expel a talented student from a major family over trivial matters—as long as he didn't go too far.

Assaulting a teacher, however, would be grounds for immediate expulsion.

"You're threatening me? You old hag!" Dai Huabin was livid, wishing he could tear Zhou Yi to pieces.

"Insulting a teacher is also against school rules." Zhou Yi's face darkened. She slapped Dai Huabin across the face and threw him to the ground with force.

Well, Zhou Yi certainly was fierce. In the original story, she was much the same.

"Hiss."

Dai Huabin could see it clearly now—Zhou Yi was blatantly siding with Qian Ran.

Beneath the eaves, one must bow his head.

If he actually hit Zhou Yi, not only would he lose, but he'd also be punished.

"Fine, I'll apologize. Qian Ran, I'm sorry for raising my hand against you," Dai Huabin forced himself to say, the words choking him with resentment. Sincerity, though? That wasn't happening.

"Your attitude lacks sincerity. I'm afraid I can't forgive you," Qian Ran said, barely holding back a laugh. Zhou Yi was quite cooperative; she'd be very useful to him with some further guidance.

Hearing this, Dai Huabin's face darkened.
