Chapter 532: What Colored Scene Came to Mind

At that moment, a flash of sharp light crossed the eyes of some disciples in the crowd.

"Instructor Ye, Nanguo Buxie and Nanguo Qingyuan are still just children!"

"Can't you spare them because they're still young and set aside past grievances?"

"Exactly, you're an adult—what are you arguing with a child about?"

Clearly, Ye Qingran said nothing.

Moreover, this contest was sparked from the start by the Nanguo Buxie siblings.

It ended up becoming Ye Qingran's fault.

"May I ask you all, if the losers today were my children, would you still say that?"

Ye Qingran spoke softly, a smile on her face, but the smile was cold.

The elders were momentarily stunned.

The answer was clearly negative.

Not only would they refuse to plead for Xiao Chen and Xiao Hu, they would also seize the chance to harshly humiliate them, cement the cheating charge, ruin their reputation, and ultimately drag their parents out of Shenzhou Academy, turning them into despised pariahs.

"Why are you silent?"

Ye Qingran stood there, a plain white robe as pure as snow.

Her beauty was stunning, her aura moonlike, like a celestial maiden descended.

"I know you not only wouldn't, but would also kick them when they're down, right?"

Ye Qingran took a few steps forward, gazing across the void at the elders and instructors with varied expressions.

"Instructor Ye, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Elder Li asked displeased.

"Ask yourselves honestly—do I speak nonsense?"

Ye Qingran continued, "Letting them go is not impossible either."

Nangong Han and his spouse's expressions changed; their gazes turned deep as they looked at Ye Qingran, and they heard her say, "If you admit that Huangjin City and Dan Valley are a bunch of Untrustworthy Words, people who break promises and grow fat on them, then I will stand up for the children and let Nanguo Buxie and Nanguo Qingyuan remain in the Academy's Heavenly Class."

Ye Qingran's voice was clear and resonant, striking the ground.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, then fixed on Nangong Han.

"Nangong Han, Ling Xueyao, do you admit it?"

Nangong Han and Ling Xueyao both grimaced fiercely.

To make them admit that the people of Huangjin City and Dan Valley are untrustworthy?

That is undoubtedly a slap in the face!

Know that, as one of the top forces in Beimingzhou besides Shenzhou Academy, reputation is very important to them.

If they truly admit it, after today Huangjin City and Dan Valley will become a laughingstock!

"Wuwuwu, father and mother, I don't want to be kicked out of the Heavenly Class!" Nanguo Qingyuan wept, tears like rain on pear blossoms.

"Ye Qingran, how can you be so heartless, driving them out of the Academy? You are also parents—doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Ling Xueyao ground her teeth, her face snarling, as if she were the embodiment of justice.

"Your scheming is so deep despite your small stature, constantly plotting to expel others from the Academy—doesn't your conscience ache for raising such children?"

Treating them with their own methods.

Some Academy disciples who had initially sympathized with the Nanguo Buxie siblings, upon hearing Ye Qingran, each found that they perhaps were not worthy of sympathy.

If they hadn't spread rumors and caused trouble, claiming that Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen cheated, they wouldn't face today's fate.

They brought it on themselves!

"Refuse to admit? Then get out of the Academy!"

Ye Qingran flicked her sleeve decisively.

"Right, if you don't admit, you get out of the Academy!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng echoed.

They, of course, stood on their mother's side.

Ling Xueyao nearly bit off a silver tooth.

She was so resentful.

She swore that she would not dismember Ye Qingran's family of four; she, Ling Xueyao, vowed she would not become a human.

"Ye Qingran, are you sure you want to go this far?"

Nangong Han's tone was threatening.

"I think I've made myself very clear."

Nangong Han's face turned grim, "Fine. Ye Qingran, don't regret it. Huangjin City will not let you go unpunished."

"Yes, and Dan Valley too! Ye Qingran, you're doomed!"

Madness filled Ling Xueyao's eyes.

At that moment, a ferocious aura enveloped the surroundings.

The heavy pressure made almost everyone feel an immense weight.

It was like a mountain hanging overhead, ready to topple at any instant.

When she looked closely, it was Ye Xiu standing behind Ye Qingran.

Ye Xiu cradled Ye Qingran and the two children in his arms; his expression beneath the mask was unreadable, but his tone was icy.

"If you don't want to die, bring it on!"

His darkened collar fluttered without wind, a regal aura spreading outward.

A demonic god's body, an emperor's aura.

All gazes, at this moment, were completely frozen.

Is the person before us truly just a Guest Minister Elder of the Academy?

How does he give them the feeling of a world‑shaking emperor?

Nangong Han and Ling Xueyao were both stunned by this aura, and a sense of retreat arose in their hearts.

Upon further thought, they each represent Huangjin City and Dan Valley; the two great powers joining forces could certainly sweep across Beimingzhou, and would not fear even the many great forces of Xi Ji.

Where does this Ye Xiu get such brazen confidence?

Does he truly think he is the Emperor Sovereign atop the peak of the hunt?

"Fine, you wait for me! Han, let's go!" Ling Xueyao said resolutely.

Nangong Han gave a slight nod.

"But, mother, I don't want to go!"

Nanguo Qingyuan was reluctant.

Ling Xueyao, bitter as iron that won't become steel, said, "Is it just an Academy? Our Huangjin City and Dan Valley are no worse than this place!"

In a contest, Xiaohu Xiaocheng not only proved to everyone that they truly deserved their Heavenly Class disciple status, but also dazzled the entire Shenzhou Academy, their skills shocking all four corners, becoming a legend of the Academy.

As for the Nan Gong siblings, they slunk away from the Academy and were no longer Heavenly Class disciples.

This contest left Nangong Han's family and Ye Qingran's family of four in outright enmity.

Many Instructor disciples of the Academy felt worried for them.

After all, behind Nangong Han's family stand two great mountains.

Ye Qingran and her party seemed to have no impressive background.

However, Ye Qingran and her group apparently did not mind it.

Not to mention, they were not at all afraid of Huangjin City and Dan Valley joining forces.

Moreover, she already had a grudge with Dan Valley, which would eventually have to be settled.

This contest was merely an advance of the plan.

After returning to Ting Yu Xuan, Han Xing Leng Yue celebrated Xiaohu Xiaocheng.

After dinner, Ye Qingran, Han Xing Leng Yue, and a few others talked about girls, while Fu Hanxiu got up and returned to his own Courtyard next door.

As he left, Ye Qingran watched his back, a mischievous curve lifting the corner of her lips.

"Miss, may I attend to your bath?"

Ye Qingran declined Han Xing's suggestion, "No need, I'll go next door."

Han Xing was startled, then recalled something, and his face flushed red.

She knew what the Miss was about to do.

"Xing Er, why is your face so red? Did you think of some colorful scene?"

"Annoying! Miss, you're teasing me again!"
