Yi Shuangzi remained silent for a long time.
Fengling jumped up and pinched Chen Miemie's ear:
"You're still trying to stir up trouble in the middle? Let me make it clear to you guys, protection is one thing, but the position of [Dean] will never be yielded. Even if Old Man Deng doesn't make it, I will be the one to take over."
"What!" Chen Miemie was shocked. "You, a mere homeroom teacher, can skip countless ranks and become the school's dean directly?"
Fengling looked displeased. "Who do you think I am? If I only had ability without a background, do you think just anyone could become the leader of the investigation team?"
Chen Miemie was unconvinced. "Who are you then?"
"The previous [Chief] was surnamed Feng."
Chen Miemie immediately took a huge leap backward, distancing himself from the two women to avoid getting caught in the crossfire if they started fighting.
The previous [Chief] was someone who had participated in the sneak attack on Bishop Yi.
Even if Fengling and Yi Shuangzi didn't carry on the grudges of the previous generation, they shouldn't be walking together so amicably.
Unexpectedly, Yi Shuangzi showed no reaction.
Chen Miemie slowly edged his way back over. "You guys aren't going to fight?"
Yi Shuangzi said, "Thank you, Teacher Fengling. Thinking back on it now, when I was in the lower grades, you were also one of the people secretly protecting me."
"You are the student, and I am the teacher. It's only right."
"Teach, with such a massive background, why did you come here to be an ordinary teacher?"
Fengling glared at Chen Miemie. "Ordinary my foot! Do you think your class is an ordinary class? Not only is there a whole bunch of problem children, but they are all people with powerful connections. Who else but me could keep them in line?"
"Then why are you leading another batch now?"
"What else am I supposed to do? I don't want to go to the city hall and deal with all their deception and scheming. If I stay at the school, I have to do something."
After expressing her gratitude, Yi Shuangzi put on a serious face. "Teacher Fengling, I am grateful to you and the Dean, but I will still fight for my family's honor."
Fengling waved her hand. "Then fight for it with your own abilities. The reason I chose to come to the school is actually the same as Old Man Deng; I hate those troublesome matters at the city hall. But it can't be helped, the position of [Dean] cannot be given up right now."
"Why?"
"Because what Sixiang City needs the most right now is the school, not the church."
Yi Shuangzi left the school.
Chen Miemie was told to stay behind by Fengling.
Room 1, District C, the academy's infirmary.
"Teach, what do you need me for? I deal with a myriad of affairs every day, I'm very busy."
"Have you gotten completely mixed up with the Yi family?"
"No, I thought Old Man Deng had screwed me over, so I came to investigate together with them. I didn't agree to the power struggle that came after."
"That's good. It's almost impossible for the Yi family to rise again, so don't choose the wrong side."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"What do you think? Ten years ago, regardless of whether they were victims or not, the Sun Bishop got a bunch of people killed. This time, the Moon Bishop has provoked public outrage across the whole city. Do you really think there will still be a place for a [Bishop] among the Big Three?"
Hearing this, Chen Miemie immediately felt that it made sense.
Whether it was ordinary citizens, mystics from secret societies, or powerful families, probably no one in the entire city wanted to see the church come to power.
Yi Shuangzi's Yi family was rooted in the Sun Church, so didn't that mean they had no hope?
Chen Miemie slyly whispered into Fengling's ear, "Then you become the [Dean], and I'll back you up."
Fengling pushed him away.
"No need to whisper, it's just the two of us here."
"This is where you lack vigilance. Haven't you heard that walls have ears?"
"Hehe, did you forget? No one in the entire school dares to come near my infirmary."
Chen Miemie shook his head, showing his disbelief.
Fengling gave an eerie smile. "Then I'll let you experience how powerful I am after breaking through to [Mystery] Rank 5."
Following Fengling's voice.
The entire room came alive.
The walls, the floor, and the ceiling all took on a fleshy texture, and then... squeezed out countless eyes.
"Holy crap!" Chen Miemie never knew he had trypophobia, but today he learned that when things got dense enough, he definitely did.
Thousands upon thousands of eyes looked at Chen Miemie from all directions, without a single blind spot.
Chen Miemie didn't dare to move, because if he did, he would step on the eyes right by his feet.
Fengling smiled playfully at Chen Miemie. "How about it? Do you think I can be certain whether there's anyone around or not?"
The scene was incredibly eerie.
Chen Miemie felt as if he were inside the body of a giant beast, surrounded by eyes.
And what was even more bizarre was...
There wasn't a single trace of fear on Chen Miemie's face.
He didn't dare to move simply because he was worried about crushing these cute eyes and hurting Fengling.
"Teach, this is amazing! This is simply art!" Chen Miemie widened his eyes, meeting the surrounding gazes one by one.
Without waiting for Fengling to answer, he continued to marvel:
"Wow, there are subtle differences in every pupil. The details, such amazing details!"
"This blood-red one is beautiful, and that one with a big windmill inside is not bad either. Hmm? Is this one over here double-pupiled?"
Fengling was a bit confused.
"Chen Miemie, you're not scared?"
Chen Miemie was also confused.
"Why would I be scared? It's not like I'm surrounded by swords and blades. I'm just being looked at by some eyes, can looks kill me?"
Fengling waved her hand, and the room full of eyes disappeared, returning the room to the original infirmary.
She came to a conclusion: "Never mind. Chen Miemie belongs to the mentally abnormal category, so it's normal for him not to be scared."
Chen Miemie looked around, seemingly regretting the disappearance of the beautiful scenery.
"Teach, you're really something. I feel like if this ability of yours advances to [Mystery] Rank 6, it will definitely be super fierce."
"Hehe, [Mystery] Rank 6... I wouldn't dare break through to that. That's just courting death."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I have no faith. Whether it's the sun or the moon, I don't believe in them. I only believe in my own eyes."
"No, Teach, you do have faith."
"Wouldn't I know myself whether I have it or not?" Fengling rolled her eyes at Chen Miemie.
Chen Miemie wasn't joking around.
He spoke very seriously.
"What you believe in is your own [Mystery], and Mystery is the characteristic of that yellow moon. Therefore, you are destined to be a believer in the Eternal Moon."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
