The cup was recognized by everyone present; it belonged to a burly man.
That burly man was none other than Yan Feng, a teacher in the advanced class of Black Gold Academy.
"Are all of you mentally ill? They are here to attend your class as equals. Do you think they are dishes on a restaurant menu for you to pick and choose, to criticize at will? Please, show respect to women, as you would respect your mothers, sisters, and daughters. Do not let me hear any more of your horny nonsense, or I will not hesitate to give you poor grades this year!"
Upon hearing this, those male students immediately fell silent.
Only Wu Yu stood there, speaking slowly, "Teacher, women who are chaste and remain devoted to one man are naturally worthy of respect. But women who are impure are as filthy and disgusting as rats in a sewer. What is there to respect? Letting them live is already our mercy."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xi, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
Bai Xi remained unusually calm in the face of such a gaze.
She had no interest in what such an insignificant person thought or said, as it was meaningless. It would be better to let her fists do the talking later.
Wu Yu's words made Yan Feng frown. He seemed about to say something, but ultimately refrained.
The Wu family was not to be trifled with.
Just then, a low and calm voice rang out, "This student only spoke about women who cannot remain devoted to one man. Then, may I ask how men who are promiscuous and flirt with multiple women should be evaluated? Are they dung beetles in a sewer?"
As Bai Xi heard the voice, her pupils contracted slightly, for she was all too familiar with it.
Han Mo!
Wu Yu frowned as he saw the person who walked out from behind Yan Feng. "And who are you?"
Yan Feng said calmly, "This is the new teacher for the Medical Department, and also the person in charge of liaising with me for the Medical Department these past few days."
Han Mo lightly adjusted the frame of his metal-rimmed glasses, his lips curving slightly as if in a smile. However, his sharp, stern eyes made Wu Yu's back turn cold. "My name is Han Mo."
Looking into the eyes of the man before him, Wu Yu felt a trace of fear. His body moved almost imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He was the most promising newcomer in the Martial Arts Department, the undisputed leader in the advanced class of the Martial Arts Department. How could he be intimidated by this seemingly refined man?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"So you're the new teacher from the Medical Department. It seems... you don't know who I am yet."
The school placed great importance on the Martial Arts Department, and therefore, also on the teachers of the Martial Arts Department. Even so, Yan Feng dared not directly question his words. This newly arrived teacher from the Medical Department dared to question him, even to mock him. Was he seeking death?
Han Mo's lips curved upwards. The metal-rimmed glasses made him appear gentle and harmless. "If I remember correctly, your name is Wu Yu. I reviewed all the student profiles before the two departments prepared to merge."
Last night, Wei Changhe had voluntarily sent him all the student profiles of Black Gold Academy, asking him to pass them to Bai Xi for investigation.
He had reviewed them all last night, so the people standing before him were like completed résumés.
Wu Yu frowned.
Knowing who he was, yet daring to act this way, who exactly was this man? Han Mo? He had never heard of any prominent Han families in the capital. Where did he get such courage?
As he was thinking, he suddenly recalled what Sun Mei had said during their intimacy last night: "She's coming to Black Gold Academy with her boyfriend today, and her boyfriend seems to be a teacher at Black Gold Academy. Will it cause trouble with the school if you make a move on her..."
Therefore, this man before him was most likely incited by that woman Bai Xi, and wanted to step forward for her. It was foolish of him to disregard his own safety and disregard his family, to openly oppose the Wu family.
However, it also indirectly proved that Bai Xi was indeed, as Sun Mei had said, a naturally promiscuous and seductive slut!
"Teacher Han, is it? Since you insist on protecting this slut, why don't we settle this with a duel, in the way of men?"
Han Mo raised an eyebrow and took a step forward, only to be blocked by Yan Feng. "Wu Yu, what are you doing? Provoking a teacher in public?"
If Wu Yu were not the heir of the Wu family, Yan Feng would have already beaten him to his knees and forced him to repent. He also had a wife and daughter. If someone spoke to them in such a insulting manner, he would likely be furious and want to fight. But unfortunately, Wu Yu's background was too strong to touch. If he were to act, not only would he suffer, but his entire family would be implicated.
Therefore, he could only try his best to prevent this from happening. Yan Feng knew Wu Yu too well. If a fight were to break out, Wu Yu would likely kill Han Mo outright.
In the moment Yan Feng blocked him, Bai Xi calmly stepped forward. "You want to fight, don't you? I'll fight you."
Disrespecting women, slandering him indirectly, and provoking her boyfriend – for these three offenses, he indeed deserved a good lesson.
Bai Xi stepping forward stunned everyone present. For an instant, the entire martial arts arena became quieter than a graveyard, as everyone present held their breath in shock.
After a brief silence, the entire martial arts arena erupted in laughter. "What is this woman doing? Does she really think she can defeat Wu Yu?"
"Hahahaha, did I hear that correctly? This woman is challenging Wu Yu?"
"How eager she is to die!"
"Do you see? Standing before Wu Yu, she's like a little chick, and yet she wants to challenge him."
"Utterly overconfident."
"..."
Facing a torrent of ridicule, Wu Yu looked at Han Mo with a disdainful smile. "You certainly have courage. I haven't even dealt with you yet, and you're challenging me? If you weren't a piece of trash, I would surely have gone easy on you."
Bai Xi said calmly, "Oh, really? I hope you can go all out, otherwise, I fear you will lose spectacularly."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wu Yu's eyes. "Truly overconfident!"
Yan Feng saw this and wanted to intervene again, but was stopped by Jiang Wei. "Teacher Yan, let's just watch here!"
Yan Feng's eyes were filled with sternness. "Jiang Wei, you know what kind of person Wu Yu is. If someone he targets gets into a fight with him, he will use every means necessary on the arena to torment them to death!"
He had witnessed it once before. He had loudly yelled for Wu Yu to stop, but unfortunately, Wu Yu had broken the other person's neck right before his eyes.
Afterward, Wu Yu's family used money to resolve the matter. The victim's family directly withdrew their accusation against Wu Yu. He wrote a report, intending to submit it to the principal, to inform the principal that although Wu Yu had extremely high martial arts talent and was very powerful, his character was very problematic, and he was not suitable to enter the Dark Division, let alone reach higher positions in the future.
But as soon as he finished writing the letter, he was blocked at his door. The Wu family also used coercion and temptation, threatening his family and telling him to never mention this matter again.
This was the pain of his life. Therefore, even though he could not directly confront the Wu family, he had to do his best to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
However, he had previously thought Jiang Wei was a promising newcomer among this year's freshmen in terms of martial arts talent and character. He had intended to cultivate her, but he had not expected her to be someone who would revel in trouble and not fear making it worse.
Jiang Wei pulled Yan Feng a little closer to her and said, "Teacher Yan, it's not clear who will be the one to suffer. Just watch, it's definitely going to be exciting later!"
As a Black Gold Academy student of the Martial Arts Department, she really wanted to see her teach that scumbag Wu Yu a good lesson!
