Unlike Cao Cheng—a low-level ability user who had supposedly become a vice dean of the Superpower Academy through sheer political savvy and the backing of numerous factions—Zhou Yun was a genuine High-level Ice Ability User.
The two already had a tense relationship behind the scenes. They had only avoided a complete falling-out because their backing factions were still partners. Cao Cheng never expected that Zhou would catch him in the middle of his passive-aggressive comments.
After all, Zhou had a notoriously explosive temper.
The kind that had him flinging ice blades at the slightest disagreement.
So, the moment Cao Cheng saw Zhou appear, he took several steps back out of a guilty conscience, quickly saying, "Zhou, what do you think you're doing? Calm down. I was just having a casual chat with Miss Gu. It wouldn't do for you to scare her."
'After all, if Gu Xi were to act in self-defense, I wouldn't be the only one to suffer.'
