Holy Academy Realm, Emperor Enlightening Academy:
Xu Shi — mid-meeting — stopped as soon as she heard Wang Wei's voice. And once the curse ended, the first thing that popped into her mind was: "Something is wrong. Why is he acting so aggressive — so domineering?" Even if Ma Liqiu had truly enraged him, he shouldn't have treated her so publicly.
"Did something happen, or is he planning something?" she thought.
"Let's end things for now." Xu Shi's meeting with Wang Wei was set for two days later, but she decided to see him early to gauge the situation and maybe gather some information.
"Headmaster, are you going somewhere?"
"Yes, I'll push my meeting with the Dao Opening sect to today. Bai Han, you're in charge of things while I'm absent."
"No problem."
