Chapter 475: No Apology? Then Get Lost!

Everyone looked at Ye Qingran and her parents with an incomparably complex expression.

Are they sure they want to be so extreme?

Do they truly have no regard for each other's identities at all?

"Wanting us to bow and apologize to you is nothing but a fool's dream!"

Nanguo Buxie placed both hands around his chest, shook his leg, and was extremely contemptuous.

"Exactly, you haven't even taken a piss to see what you are, and you still dare demand that we bow and apologize?"

Nanguo Qingyuan's face was full of cutting sarcasm.

The siblings' reaction was exactly what Xiaohu Xiaocheng expected.

"So you mean you're going to breach the agreement?"

Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.

"What breach? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Nanguo Buxie decided to flatly deny it.

"Yesterday you both verbally promised that if we made it into the Second Round's second stage, you would bow and apologize to us. Why are you now trying to renege?"

"Is that really the case? Do you have evidence? Who heard it?"

Nanguo Qingyuan shouted, his attitude extremely arrogant.

No one responded.

In fact, some of those present yesterday were here, but they all chose to remain silent.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng didn't expect those people to help them.

Xiao Hu let out a cold laugh, took out a Recording Stone, and quickly played back yesterday's conversation. The sound was loud, and everyone could hear it crystal clear.

"Now you can't shake it off, can you?"

Nanguo Buxie and Nanguo Qingyuan wore solemn expressions, unsure how to proceed.

"You're shameless, actually recording it!"

Both were incensed.

"Hmph, dealing with scoundrels like you requires meticulous planning! If I hadn't recorded it, were you planning to flatly deny it?"

"Untrustworthy Words—yet you keep claiming to be from Huangjin City!"

Xiao Chen said sarcastically.

"Even if we said it, so what? I won't apologize; what can you do to me? I'm a young master of Huangjin City, my father is the Little City Lord of Huangjin City, my grandfather is the City Lord of Huangjin City, my maternal grandfather is the Valley Master of Dan Valley. My status is immensely noble; if I don't apologize, no one can force me!"

Although Nanguo Buxie's attitude was arrogant, no one thought there was anything wrong with his words.

On Beimingzhou, people of Nanguo Buxie and Nanguo Qingyuan's stature truly cannot be compelled to do anything.

"You're really something!"

Xiao Chen gave a thumbs‑up.

Those with powerful backers speak more forcefully than others!

But no matter how powerful, it's useless.

Isn't it just a matter of leveraging one's father?

He's never lost since childhood!

If we count the time, his Father Lord should have made a dashing entrance by now, right?

"What happened?"

The voice, majestic as divine utterance, descended from the heavens, yet was low and magnetic, exuding an ascetic sensuality.

Everyone's spirits trembled, and they looked toward the source.

They saw the newcomer tall, mysterious, with an imposing aura.

A silver mask covered the face, but could not hide countless charms.

At the sight of Fu Hanxiu, Ling Xueyao squinted.

How does Ye Xiu turn up everywhere?

"Ye, you've arrived?"

At the sight of Fu Hanxiu, Wu Shushan was momentarily stunned.

He truly didn't know Fu Hanxiu would come today.

Ye?

Everyone sized up Fu Hanxiu, already guessing his identity.

It is said that a new Guest Minister Elder has joined the Academy, named Ye Xiu, so this must be him.

"Ye, the matter is…"

Wu Shushan dared not conceal anything and recounted exactly what had happened here to him.

Everyone looked at the scene in astonishment.

It always felt somewhat eerie.

Logically, Wu Yuanzhang is the Academy Dean, while Ye is merely a Guest Minister Elder; why does the dean treat him with such respect?

As if he were seeing the dean himself?

After hearing Wu Shushan's words, Fu Hanxiu's gaze swept over Ling Xueyao and her parents.

Ling Xueyao has seen the world, yet when facing this Guest Minister Elder she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"If you won't apologize, then get out of the Academy."

The voice was cold, domineering, unquestionable, booming in everyone's ears.

Everyone's hearts trembled ever so slightly.

I didn't expect this Guest Minister Elder to be so dignified?

Ye, what do you mean?

Ling Xueyao's face was extremely grim.

Earlier, when she ran for Special Grade Instructor, Ye Xiu expelled her from the Academy and cancelled her eligibility—she still remembers it vividly, and today he's opposing her again!

Do they really think Ling Xueyao is easy to bully?

The Academy does not admit those who are untrustworthy; if your child does not fulfill the agreement, they need not participate in the Heavenly Class Selection.

The vast crowd fell silent, not even a sparrow's chirp.

Ye said, if Ling Xueyao's child does not apologize, they need not participate in the Heavenly Class Selection.

"Why should my child apologize to them? My child is the young lord and lady of Huangjin City, supremely noble—how could they apologize to them? What right do they have?"

No apology? Then get out!

Get out?

Ling Xueyao's gaze trembled.

She knew the Academy had some stubborn hotheads, but she didn't expect this Ye to give her no face.

But if she chooses to leave, her child will never have a chance to enter the Heavenly Class.

Although they are the young lord and lady of Huangjin City, being turned away from the Academy will become a lifelong stain on them.

She absolutely will not allow her child to bear a stain.

Thus, she gritted her teeth and decided to change her approach.

She smiled and said, "It's just child's play, Ye, why take it seriously? Let me go back and discipline them properly—would that be okay?"

Go back and discipline?

Who would believe that!

Ling Xueyao, before you say that, fulfill your own part first.

Ye Qingran said softly.

Fu Hanxiu looked at Wu Shushan, seeming puzzled.

Wu Shushan hurriedly explained the whole story of the bet between Ye Qingran and Ling Xueyao.

Ling Xueyao shouted in a low voice, "Ye Qingran, don't go too far!"

"Me? Going too far? You just promised it yourself. Want to back out?"

Ye Qingran refused to let up.

"If you go back on your word, your child will also lose their eligibility."

Fu Hanxiu said coldly.

Ling Xueyao exclaimed, "I am me, my child is my child, Ye, there's no need to lump us together!"

Fu Hanxiu remained silent, and Ye Qingran said lightly:

"As the saying goes, if the beam is not straight, the crookedness follows; as the mother, you are so untrustworthy—how can your child turn out well?!"

"You!"

Ling Xueyao was furious.

One Ye Qingran, one Ye Xiu— they are practically her nemesis.
