Looking at the cocky and handsome guy in front of him, Lin Yun's expression twisted slightly.
He forcefully suppressed the urge to punch this guy in the face and calmly said, "I assume you already have an idea of why I came to find you. Don't worry, I admire your talent. With me, your strengths will be maximized to their fullest potential!"
"My talent? Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly wide awake!" Qing Ye's eyes lit up as he let out a mischievous laugh.
"Tell me more. What do I need to do?"
"Come here, listen carefully!" Lin Yun gestured for Qing Ye to come closer. Qing Ye caught on and stepped forward, and the two began whispering about their evil plan.
On the side, Ice Emperor and the Myriad Demon King looked at each other in confusion, utterly baffled.
"So, you do this… then this… and finally this. Got it?" Lin Yun guided him patiently.
"Ah, I get it! I totally get it!" Qing Ye nodded with a mysterious look.
The two exchanged glances and then revealed meaningful smiles.
"Jie jie jie jie..."
"Rest assured, once you complete this task, the rewards will be plenty!" Lin Yun waved his hand confidently.
Qing Ye turned slightly, his face hidden in the shadows, still wearing that strange smile. "Then I'll thank you in advance. But honestly, I don't really care about the things you're offering me. What I want… is quite simple."
Everything rotten will eventually be destroyed, and from the ruins, a new order will rise!
Lin Yun remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand toward the Myriad Demon King. "Myriad Demon King, I remember that the leader of the Bright Unicorn Clan is Sheng Xin, right? Tell her to come over. Her healing abilities might come in handy."
"Yes, my lord."
…
After returning to Shrek Academy, Lin Yun was still in a great mood, humming a song that Ice Emperor couldn't understand but found oddly pleasant.
"My lord, what exactly were you and that human discussing just now?" Ice Emperor hesitated for a moment before asking.
Poor little scorpion had no clue what was going on!
"Heh, the secrets of heaven must not be revealed!" Lin Yun shook his finger mysteriously. "You just wait and see. There's no need for you to know the king's plans!"
"But for now… transform!"
Ice Emperor hesitated briefly before transforming into a soft and fragrant little loli in a flash of green light.
Somewhere nearby, a certain big worm still sleeping in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea would never know that the Ice Emperor it longed for was just a few walls away, serving as someone else's cuddle pillow.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: Pain… such unbearable pain!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
During this time, Lin Yun had been carefully observing Zhou Yi's microexpressions during class. It had only been a few days, but Zhou Yi was already struggling with the "outdated" teaching style.
More importantly, with Lin Yun in the class, the students had become bolder than ever. And since Zhou Yi had scolded all of them on the first day, they weren't too fond of her to begin with. Every now and then, they would increase the intensity of her suffering.
Almost every day, Zhou Yi left the classroom with a dark expression, her frustration maxed out. At this rate, only Fan Yu might be able to calm her down.
Poor Fan Yu, though—he was probably relying on goji berries just to survive.
On the fifth day, Zhou Yi finally snapped.
If it had just been minor mischief, she might have tolerated it. With Lin Yun present, she wasn't reckless enough to revert to her old extreme teaching methods. She had been sticking to the standard schedule—morning theory, afternoon physical training—and even refrained from adding any extra difficulty to the training.
Yet despite this, a few students still dared to slack off during physical training.
Other teachers might let it slide, but slacking off in Zhou Yi's class?
She hadn't even made them run 100 laps, just 20, with some normal physical exercises—and they dared to slack off?
Halfway through their 20 laps, some students had already started slowing down. Their physical training performance was as lifeless and rotten as old pickled vegetables—completely lacking any seriousness.
It had only been a few days since school started! How could Zhou Yi endure this?
Unable to hold back anymore, Zhou Yi lifted her foot, glanced at Lin Yun first, saw that he was casually chatting and laughing with Xiao Xiao without paying her any attention, and then heavily stomped her high heels on the ground. Six soul rings rose instantly, and her Red Dragon Martial Soul attached itself to her body.
Lin Yun merely glanced at her briefly before turning back to his conversation with Xiao Xiao.
Having spent half a month at Shrek Academy, Lin Yun had already seen how other teachers conducted their classes. What Zhou Yi was doing was no different from them. When she provoked him, he could beat her up and send her to the hospital without issue.
But if she was acting normally, there was no need for him to stir up unnecessary trouble. She wasn't targeting him—so why should he stand up for others?
Rebelling within the rules made a student a good learner. But deliberately sabotaging a teacher? That would make him an unruly troublemaker, which wasn't good for his undercover plans in Shrek.
After a quick side glance at Zhou Yi, Lin Yun looked away again.
Haha, keep going. The bigger the mess you make, the easier it is for me to proceed with my plan!
As expected, the eight students who had been slacking off were immediately taken down and thrown out by Zhou Yi.
Huh… Seems like those eight were exactly the same ones from the original story—not one more, not one less.
They even went to complain to the Outer Court's teaching director, Du Weilun, but he had long been accustomed to dealing with Zhou Yi. Seeing that none of the expelled students were exceptionally talented, and Lin Yun wasn't among them, he simply ignored them and brushed them off.
After all, Zhou Yi's husband, Fan Yu, held the same rank as him. There was no point in offending Fan Yu over a few Outer Court students. Expelling them? So be it.
And like always, people never know when to stop pushing boundaries.
After expelling those eight students and seeing that Lin Yun didn't react, Zhou Yi went on to use various excuses to kick out even more students over the next few days. When she noticed that Lin Yun still didn't respond—
Zhou Yi started to feel like she could do whatever she wanted again!
Not only did her voice grow louder during class, but she also stood even straighter. Though she still acted cowardly in front of Lin Yun, when dealing with ordinary students, she became incredibly aggressive!
"I can't control Lin Yun, but I can definitely control all of you!"
With her intensity maxed out, Zhou Yi finally revealed her true nature as an almost illiterate brute.
Training? Increased!
Lin Yun could do as he pleased, but the rest of the students had to run. And not just run—they had to wear iron vests while doing it!
Everyone in Class One, except for Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao, suddenly found themselves living in absolute hell.
The fear of being dominated by Zhou Yi!
