Assistant Lin didn't understand what "comment-controlling dog" meant, but seeing the way "Bai Feifei" spoke, she instinctively knew things were going south. Her blood pressure began to rise uncontrollably.
She repeatedly muttered to herself, "Don't argue with a lunatic," before pushing up her glasses and taking a deep breath.
"Teacher Bai, the media lives for chaos. This getting out will not benefit you in the slightest."
"Those who hold a grudge against you will certainly say your teaching methods are violent and that you abuse your students."
"If you continue to be a target of public criticism in the Inner City, I'm afraid the City Lord will also be troubled..."
"The media lives for chaos? Well, it seems great minds think alike,"
Xu Mo interrupted her, casually whistling the ruler through the air with a sharp whoosh.
"What's with the mention of the City Lord? Trying to pressure me?"
"Speaking of which, where is he? He hasn't voiced his opinion for so long. If there's an issue, tell him to come find me."
Assistant Lin's mouth twitched. Looking at the woman before her who was completely impervious to reason, she finally realized that trying to talk sense into her was a pure waste of breath.
The Principal had been unheard of ever since he began his attempt to break through to the Prophet rank. During this time, she, as his assistant, had been managing all administrative affairs.
There had been no word from the City Lord's side either.
When they first decided to shoehorn an instructor into the academy, she never imagined it would lead to this!
She was truly exhausted from dealing with this mysterious, high-maintenance individual...
She turned to look at the group of Elite Class students who didn't dare to breathe a word. Finally, she sighed, waved to the Rank 5 Scavengers behind her, and led them out of the training hall.
Once the door closed, Xu Mo turned around, his gaze sweeping over the remaining students.
His eyes were like a butcher sizing up pigs for slaughter. A few of the more timid girls instinctively shrank back half an inch.
Even though this new teacher was exceptionally beautiful, in their eyes, there was always a sense of a horror movie coming to life.
"Alright, the nuisances are gone. Let's continue."
Xu Mo clapped his hands, the smile on his face gradually becoming more sinister.
"I said earlier that juicing is forbidden, yet some people still think they can sneak a couple of injections without anyone knowing."
He raised his left hand. The skull bracelet on his wrist glowed with a faint purple light as the Gaze of the Ancient One was activated once more.
"So, we'll do a rough check every day," Xu Mo said, slowly walking toward the crowd.
"The time for your Graduation Show is drawing closer and closer."
"In the future, I will create environments for you to get used to the feeling of fighting aberrations in advance."
"Once you're familiar with it, you can set an ambush for me and make your move. If you can even touch me, you can go straight to your break~."
As the purple light swept across the room, the air in the training hall seemed to lose its warmth.
The color visibly drained from the students' faces. Their lips turned pale, and their legs began to tremble.
Ye Yu stood at the front, her fists clenched tight, stubbornly refusing to back down.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but after these two days of "torture," her mental resistance felt higher than before.
Her combat experience was also growing imperceptibly.
Standing in the crowd, she watched "Bai Feifei's" back, a trace of obsessive light flashing in her eyes.
It was a strange, inexplicable fixation on proving herself to this person.
...
After dealing with those people, Xu Mo handed control back to Bai Feifei.
During the break, Bai Feifei was naturally not as perverse as Xu Mo. The media personnel, who had been waiting for a long time, finally obtained the firsthand news they craved.
As a result, the news spread even faster than Xu Mo had anticipated.
By that evening, the streets and alleys were filled with various discussions.
In an era lacking celebrities and internet influencers, there was almost nothing else to talk about. Xu Mo's actions had the potential for viral transmission.
Speaking of which, this was Xu Mo's first time trying this kind of approach. He wondered if it would earn him an achievement or something...
"That new female instructor at Qingping Academy caused trouble again today!"
"Her again? What did she do this time? She really can't stay quiet, can she?"
"It's about what she said before. This morning, three elite students with Word Souls teamed up to ambush her, and she crushed them all. It was extremely violent; I was terrified just watching it."
"Holy crap! She beat them up? Is no one at Qingping Academy going to do anything about her?"
"Go watch the video. That girl is ruthless, and her strength is genuinely incredible. More importantly, those students who were juicing said the drugs allowed them to obtain Word Souls!"
Embellished rumors spread rapidly through taverns, teahouses, and Scavenger communication groups.
Public opinion quickly split into two camps.
One camp was shocked by the new drug that could "grant Word Souls."
A Word Soul was something many people could never even touch the threshold of in their entire lives. Now, it could be activated with a single injection?
This was practically overturning the entire Scavenger training system.
If this drug was truly successful, it would change the era for Dawn City.
The other camp remembered what Xu Mo had said—"My Containment Object has a special effect against those who inject potions."
"If her Containment Object specifically counters juicers, doesn't that mean those potions themselves are problematic?"
"You can get a Word Soul just by juicing. Even if there's a problem, I'd still take it!"
"She was clearly against juicing from the start. Does she know something?"
...
At United Pharmaceuticals, in the top-floor conference room.
Liu Qing leaned back in his leather chair, holding a freshly printed public opinion report with a wide smile on his face.
"Good, this is excellent!" He tossed the report onto the table.
"The way this woman made a scene is equivalent to giving our new drug a free advertisement."
"As for the students losing even with Word Souls, it doesn't matter. Keep giving them the drug. Sooner or later, she won't be able to hold out."
A balding director nearby laughed. "Director Liu is right. Your decision was truly brilliant!"
"We'll use her as a stepping stone. This potion will definitely cause a sensation throughout the city."
"Director Liu."
The secretary's face was pale as she hurried to Liu Qing's side, leaning down to whisper a few words into his ear.
Everyone in the conference room saw the smile on Liu Qing's face freeze, inch by inch.
"What do you mean the Elite Class students have all given up?"
"Yes," the secretary's voice was extremely low. "They said their lives are more important. They're afraid Bai Feifei will kill them..."
Liu Qing's mouth twitched.
Why was she always threatening to kill people? Is she some kind of outlaw?
Weren't they all young masters and ladies? Were they really that scared after just one threat?
He didn't believe Bai Feifei would actually dare to kill those students.
The secretary swallowed hard and continued to whisper.
"The Ye family?" Liu Qing's expression went blank. "Which Ye family?"
"What do you mean, 'don't harass their children, or face the consequences'?"
