Chapter 545: Striking the Snake at Three Inches

"Instructor Ye, are you kidding?" Nan Yan showed a disdainful look.

From her perspective, Ye Qingran could never possibly know Lu Yunfeng.

Because, in the vast Academy, the only female disciple familiar with Lu Yunfeng is her, Nan Yan!

Hearing Nan Yan say that, many disciples found their own reaction amusing.

Indeed, how could Ye Qingran possibly be familiar with Lu Yunfeng?

One should know that everyone in the Academy takes pride in having a connection with Lu Yunfeng. Even the Instructors are no exception.

If Ye Qingran were truly acquainted with Lu Yunfeng, it would probably already be widely known.

How could it be so low‑key?

"Lu Yunfeng, no explanation?" Ye Qingran, too lazy to say anything, tossed the ball to Lu Yunfeng.

Lu Yunfeng wasn't the type to talk much or have patience for such matters. Under normal circumstances, he would have left long ago.

However, for some reason, today he displayed great patience.

Moreover, he seemed to obey Ye Qingran's words without question.

Just as...

Listening to his sister's words.

"Last time on Duanyun Peak, Instructor Ye and I had a very pleasant conversation."

Duanyun Peak?

Pleasant conversation?

The words coming from Lu Yunfeng's mouth had the effect of a calm thunder.

Duanyun Peak, isn't that just the back mountain?

Lu Yunfeng personally admitted that Ye Qingran had been up the back mountain before, and the two had a pleasant conversation?

So, Ye Qingran not only was already familiar with Lu Yunfeng, but had also been up the back mountain already?

"Damn!"

Hong Wu blurted out a profanity.

She increasingly felt that the new Class Instructor of Renxu 108 Class was truly remarkable.

Having two treasured sons, and also linked with the Academy's most aloof prodigy Lu Yunfeng?

What kind of divine Instructor is this?

She decided that even without Xiao Hu Xiao Chen's sake, she would become a fan of this Instructor!

Qin Feixue's eyes flashed, and looking at Ye Qingran's expression, she added a hint of meaning.

The hardest to accept this fact was undoubtedly Nan Yan.

She had always believed that in Shen Zhou Academy, only she, as a female disciple, was qualified to go up the back mountain.

This had always been a point of pride for her, and indeed she was envied by all the disciples.

However, today she heard that someone else had also been up the back mountain, taking away the glory that was solely hers.

That feeling was especially unpleasant.

It was as if her thing had been defiled by someone.

It made her burn with anger.

Especially the strange glances the Academy disciples cast, which pricked her like thorns in her back.

No, she absolutely would not allow her thing to be shared by others!

"Lu Yunfeng brother, are you telling the truth?" she tried hard to make herself look less fierce.

Ye Qingran spoke almost simultaneously, "How's your practice of that sword technique going?"

The atmosphere instantly stiffened there.

Lu Yunfeng barely hesitated and replied, "It's okay, just some details are still being refined."

Many disciples opened their mouths, unable to believe that Lu Yunfeng had ignored Nan Yan and answered Ye Qingran's question.

The ignored Nan Yan stood there; it was beyond awkward.

Her delicate face was almost twisted with anger.

"Do you need me to give you some guidance?"

"Fine."

Their conversation, as if no one else were there, made Nan Yan's complexion grow even more unpleasant.

This scene left the onlookers feeling puzzled.

Wasn't it said that Lu Yunfeng and Nan Yan had a good relationship?

Why does it feel like Lu Yunfeng's relationship with Ye Qingran is better?

"Do I have any need to lie?"

The crowd was first stunned, then realized that Lu Yunfeng was answering Nan Yan's question.

For Nan Yan, it would have been better if Lu Yunfeng hadn't answered the question.

At least she could console herself that he hadn't heard.

Now that he answered, it instead shows that, in his mind, Ye Qingran is more important than she is!

It made Nan Yan feel completely off.

"Nan Yan, you heard it too; Instructor Ye and I had gone up the back mountain before, obviously with Lu Yunfeng's permission. So this time, her going up the back mountain wouldn't count as trespassing, right?"

Hong Wu finally found an opportunity to attack Nan Yan.

Seeing Nan Yan clench her teeth from his words, Hong Wu felt the knot in her heart loosen considerably.

She pressed on, "Everyone says you're the only disciple in the Academy who can freely go up and down the back mountain, Nan Yan, but now it seems that's not entirely true, right?"

Strike the snake at the three‑inch spot.

Isn't Nan Yan the one who loves to brag about how wonderful her relationship with Lu Yunfeng is, how free she is to go up and down the back mountain?

She just insists on poking at her sore spot!

Nan Yan was indeed struck at a sore spot.

"Hong Wu, do you have some misunderstanding about me? I've never said that. If I could freely go up and down the back mountain and make you all uncomfortable…" Nan Yan looked at Lu Yunfeng, "Then, Yunfeng brother, will you from now on never let me go up the back mountain, okay?"

She is confident that Lu Yunfeng won't do that.

"Alright."

Lu Yunfeng nodded, and actually agreed.

The scene was momentarily very awkward.

Many Academy disciples looked at Nan Yan with sympathy, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed to do so.

As for Nan Yan herself, she wore a stunned expression, clearly not expecting Lu Yunfeng to say that.

Lu Yunfeng had actually never said Nan Yan could freely go up and down the back mountain; it was Nan Yan's own public claim.

And when dealing with Nan Yan, Lu Yunfeng has always been relatively tolerant.

After all, she once saved his life.

Actually, he was already extremely fed up with Nan Yan. Since Nan Yan proactively made this request today, he naturally agreed.

Ye Qingran blinked, suddenly feeling that Lu Yunfeng didn't seem as pure and breezy as he appeared; instead, there were a few shades of darkness.

That was somewhat reminiscent of her own scheming younger brother.

If he were Yun Feng, how wonderful that would be.

Ye Qingran's eyes deepened, gaining a few more layers of depth.

"Ahahaha~"

Hong Wu laughed, leaning forward and backward, "That really makes me die laughing; some people, what is that called? Self‑inflicted sin, can't live!"

Nan Yan's chest qi surged.

Lu Yunfeng actually really agreed!

Has he forgotten that she is his lifesaving benefactor?

How can he be so heartless?
