Mu Ziying was already used to Meng Yao and her gang's bullying tactics. As for the newly-arrived Ye Qing, Mu Ziying was ambivalent toward her. But… Ye Qing's intervention gave rise to a different sort of feeling inside Mu Ziying.
Teacher Ye was the first and only person inside the Netherworld Academy to stand up for her.
"I will soon be kicked out of the Netherworld Academy anyway. Teacher Ye, you don't need to waste your efforts on someone like me." Mu Ziying kept her head lowered, her soft, childish voice tinged with a sense of helplessness.
She already knew that she wouldn't be able to stay on, so she didn't want to implicate Teacher Ye Qing.
As Ye Qingtang looked at the little girl who had her head lowered the entire time, she couldn't resist reaching out to stroke her head.
"Who said I am doing this for you? That student was breaking the academy rules. As a teacher, I have the authority to punish her. This has nothing to do with you."
