Unexpectedly, the group on the opposite side noticed them, and rushed over to block their path. The one leading them spoke in a feigned innocent tone: "Don't rush off! Which one of you is Xu Xing? Come out and let us get to know you."
The counselor pushed through the group of girls, shielding Xu Xiaoyan behind her. She sternly addressed the thugs, whose faces screamed 'up to no good': "I am a teacher at the school, what do you think you're doing? That male student, stop hiding, come out if you dare. Show your face if you have the guts to confront us. Are you brave enough to tell us which class you are from..."

The counselor tried to chase after him but was blocked by the other thugs, making her curse in frustration: "What on earth are you trying to do..."
