Chapter 499: She Wants to Give Gu Wuyou a Chance?

She looked at the group of disciples gathered in front of the Courtyard and gently shook her head.

These disciples were probably here to mock her, right?

Ling Xueyao was actually here too?

She firmly believes she fell into Gu Wuyou's hands like that?

Couldn't it be that Gu Wuyou is kneeling, singing "Conquest" for her?

When she lifted her head, she saw Hong Wu on the wall.

Hong Wu flashed her a harmless smile.

"What happened? Why is it so lively?"

Ye Qingran said loudly.

Her clear voice instantly reached everyone's ears.

Everyone was stunned on the spot by the sudden voice.

Following the sound, they saw Ye Qingran had appeared behind them at an unknown time.

She stood gracefully, speaking and smiling gently.

She seemed like an outsider, calm and unperturbed.

"Instructor Ye?!"

Someone shouted.

"Renxu 108 Class, have we come across some great figure?"

Ye Qingran asked with a smile.

Big shot?

A death‑seeking ghost, at least!

Or someone here to claim your life!

Hearing someone call "Instructor Ye", Gu Wuyou, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp cold light shot out like a sword.

He stood up, stepped over the crowd, and looked at the culprit who destroyed his alchemy room.

It was a woman.

Her appearance was stunning, ethereal and otherworldly.

However, it didn't concern him.

"You destroyed my alchemy room?"

He spoke in a deep voice, questioning.

Only then did Ye Qingran notice Gu Wuyou.

Although she had known before arriving that Gu Wuyou was returning, this was still her first time seeing him.

He was pretty much as she imagined.

"Who are you?"

"Gu Wuyou."

Gu Wuyou answered patiently, seemingly not clouded by anger.

"So you are Gu Wuyou of our Renxu 108 Class."

Ye Qingran said while walking toward Gu Wuyou.

"Classmate Gu Wuyou, I'm not blaming you, but the Classroom is meant for lessons; how could you arbitrarily turn it into an alchemy room? Since this is your first offense, I won't pursue it this time, but you must not repeat the mistake, understand?"

Ye Qingran's expression was stern yet gentle, speaking earnestly, assuming the demeanor of a proper teacher.

This move left everyone present staring dumbfounded.

Not…

Shouldn't Gu Wuyou be questioning Ye Qingran about why she destroyed his alchemy room?

How did it become Ye Qingran lecturing Gu Wuyou?

Although what she said made sense, there was no flaw.

Yet, something still feels off!

Gu Wuyou, apparently not expecting Ye Qingran to say that, after a brief stunned pause, spoke again, his tone colder, like frost, "You destroyed my alchemy room?"

"First, that wasn't your alchemy room; second, I didn't destroy it, I restored it; finally, you shouldn't speak to me in that tone, I am your Class Instructor."

Everyone: "......"

Can this newly arrived Instructor argue so cleverly?

Clearly she destroyed Gu Wuyou's alchemy room, a fact everyone knows.

"Ye Qingran, as everyone knows, Gu Wuyou's alchemy room was destroyed by you. Even if he has other faults, you still can't just go and destroy someone else's property, right?"

Ling Xueyao said in a sarcastic tone.

Several disciples immediately echoed, saying Ling Xueyao's words made sense.

"I'll give you two choices: one, return my belongings untouched; two, hand over your hand!"

Gu Wuyou said coldly.

His words were shocking.

Who could have thought this seemingly non‑aggressive young man could be so cold‑hearted?

The disciples' gazes looked at Ye Qingran with some sympathy.

The item was already destroyed, reportedly utterly so, making restoration impossible, so Ye Qingran could only choose the latter.

A pair of hands!

They all thought that hands would hurt!

Ling Xueyao heard this and smiled even more, her smile blossoming like a flower.

She just knew that the disciples of Renxu 108 Class were not to be messed with.

Ye Qingran had only just provoked the first one, and she would have to pay the price of her hands—her future days were all too easy to predict!

"Tsk, so ruthless? Is there a third option?"

Ye Qingran shrugged.

Gu Wuyou's eyes flashed with cold intent: "No."

On the academy wall, Hong Wu clung to her fabric doll, taking in everything.

Gu Wuyou, he really didn't disappoint her.

"Ye Qingran, I'm curious—will you hand over these hands, or not?"

Her voice floated out lightly from her lips, and the fabric doll in her hand let out a terrifying laugh.

That pale expression carried schadenfreude, and more of it was bloodthirsty.

"But I can't bear to part with these hands." Ye Qingran raised her pair of jade hands, turning them to display: "Look, they're snowy white and frosty—can you bear to do it?"

All the disciples' gazes fell on Ye Qingran's hands.

One cannot deny, they are indeed a pair of hands beautiful to the extreme.

Exquisite as an artwork.

No one could bear to see such a pair of hands severed from the body, turning into flesh and blood.

"Since it can't be restored, then hand over your hands!"

Gu Wuyou walked step by step toward Ye Qingran, his face grim and cold.

His expression showed no sign of joking; his eyes were filled with ruthlessness, his whole body exuding cold-bloodedness.

As he approached, his body gradually emitted a silver light.

The silver light rose straight up, and in the blink of an eye it soared three zhang high.

Bathed in the silver radiance, Gu Wuyou's aura shifted suddenly; at this moment he seemed like an emperor who stands between heaven and earth.

"This is..."

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered.

"Human Emperor's Fortune!"

Ye Qingran instantly understood what this silver light signified.

Above the Profound Emperor are Sages, and above the Sages is the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor is an illusory realm.

And yet Gu Wuyou actually possesses Human Emperor's Fortune.

This means his ancestors produced a Human Emperor, so his veins flow with Human Emperor bloodline.

What's more terrifying is that he is likely able to cultivate to that realm in the future!

No wonder he's so arrogant—he actually has something to rely on.

Just this Human Emperor's Fortune alone already supports him in unleashing unimaginable strength.

The people of the Academy have all heard somewhat of Gu Wuyou's extraordinary abilities; seeing it in person now leaves them in awe.

When they looked at Ye Qingran again, it was as if they were looking at a corpse.

Having offended such a terrifying Gu Wuyou, Ye Qingran's fate goes without saying.

They were all waiting for the miserable sight of Ye Qingran's arms being cut off.

"Wait!"

Just then, Ye Qingran suddenly spoke.

"Although you don't intend to give me a third option, I decide to give you one chance."

What?

The disciples all stared blankly.

Does Ye Qingran know what she's saying?

Is she giving Gu Wuyou a chance?

Has she gone mad?

Amidst everyone's bewildered expressions, Ye Qingran raised her hand and flung something at Gu Wuyou.

Gu Wuyou instinctively caught it.

He first glanced at Ye Qingran, then, looking into her eyes, lowered his gaze to look.

It was a sheet of paper.

After seeing what was written on it, his expression changed drastically.
