Chapter 552: Instructor Ye Abuses Disciples

The next day.

When Ye Qingran walked into the Academy, she clearly noticed that the disciples' gazes toward her had changed.

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered, and she naturally guessed the reason.

She said nothing, heading straight toward where the Renxu 108 Class was located, but after just a few steps someone blocked her path.

"Instructor Ye, you're shameless!"

A female disciple stepped up, pointed at Ye Qingran's face, and unleashed a torrent of insults, her expression twisted, her aura fierce.

Her voice was sharp and loud, instantly drawing all the nearby Academy disciples.

In an instant, disciples kept gathering around.

"How do you mean that?"

Ye Qingran stopped, crossed her arms, and looked at the other party with amused composure.

"Because of you, the Academy lost a hundred nine-grade elixirs, five hundred eight-grade elixirs, and a thousand seven-grade elixirs. Moreover, over five years, nearly ten thousand elixirs—do you know what that means for the Academy? It means the Academy's strength could rise by a tier!"

The female disciple gritted her teeth, filled with righteous indignation, as if Ye Qingran had committed an unforgivable great sin.

"Oh? I didn't know I had done such a big thing."

Ye Qingran smiled faintly and said leisurely.

"How can you still smile? This is the good deed of your whole family of four—why don't you just go die?"

The female disciple's face turned savage, her eyes venomous.

Originally, if this female disciple had only scolded her, Ye Qingran wouldn't have bothered with her.

But she absolutely should not have cursed her family.

Ye Qingran's expression suddenly darkened, killing intent fully revealed.

"What do you want to do? Do you really intend to attack me? Ye Qingran, I warn you—this is the Academy, you..."

Before the female disciple finished speaking, Ye Qingran kicked her in the face.

The female disciple was sent flying backward, landing far away on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, several teeth falling out mixed with blood, she made painful whimpering sounds in her throat but couldn't utter a word.

"Can't speak? Then don't speak for the rest of your life."

Though her tone was light, it was chilling to hear, like it came from the depths of hell, sending a shiver down one's spine.

All the disciples held their breath.

No one dared to step forward to help that female disciple, leaving her to suffer agonizing pain as she lay in a pool of blood.

Ye Qingran's eyes were icy.

Letting her live is already a great mercy.

At that moment, some disciples' eyes flickered, they exchanged glances, and a male disciple stepped forward.

"Ye Qingran, as an Academy instructor, how can you mistreat Academy disciples? Someone like you doesn't deserve to be an instructor."

"Exactly, striking so hard is practically murder! Everyone, look—Instructor Ye killed someone!"

"Everyone, hurry and tell others—Instructor Ye is abusing Academy disciples in broad daylight!"

Indeed, many disciples slipped away quietly to inform others.

As for the remaining disciples, under the deliberate urging of some, they surrounded Ye Qingran in the middle, clearly intending not to let her leave.

Ye Qingran's gaze swept over those disciples, yet she remained completely calm inside.

Do these people want to trap her?

Coincidentally, she also had no intention of leaving.

Today's grand show—if Nan Chen doesn't come out to sing, she'll drag him out and force him to sing!

Thinking this, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Qingran's eyes.

Qin Zixie had long known this scene would happen, so from the moment Ye Qingran entered the Academy, he had been secretly observing everything.

Surely, the developments unfolded exactly as he had expected.

This place, the Divine State Academy, has top-notch talents, and is not lacking in top-notch scoundrels.

These scoundrels, upon hearing that their interests were infringed, will absolutely step forward without hesitation.

"Ye Qingran, I'd like to see how you'll handle this!"

Qin Zixie curled his lips into a smile, his eyes brimming with interest.

Not long after, more and more Academy disciples and even instructors rushed over, quickly packing the open square to capacity.

Most of them came because they heard the news of Ye Qingran mistreating disciples. Of course, they also heard to some extent that Dan Valley, because Ye Qingran refused to supply the Academy with nearly ten thousand elixirs,...

Nan Yan and Ling Xueyao also rushed over; seeing Ye Qingran surrounded by the crowd, they both showed a sneering look in their eyes.

"Ye Qingran, today I will definitely drive you out of the Academy!"

Ling Xueyao clenched her fists, her whole body tense; beside her, Nan Gong Han's face was equally icy.

Nan Yan, meanwhile, raised her chin and shouted: "Instructor Ye, what can't be said nicely? Why must you resort to violence?"

Saying that, she jogged over to the beaten girl, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her face, and also produced an elixir for her to take.

"This is our Dan Valley's seven-grade golden trauma pill; it works very well."

Nan Yan deliberately placed the elixir in her hand, displaying it to everyone, instantly drawing countless envious gazes.

Everyone then praised Nan Yan for her kind heart and generosity.

Her gentleness and kindness formed a stark contrast to Ye Qingran's violence.

"Instructor Ye, you've gone too far!" a harsh voice rang out.

Li Zhanglao arrived with a group of elders, their aura fierce.

"That female disciple—was it you who hit her?"

Li Zhanglao stopped before Ye Qingran and demanded in a low voice.

"Not bad, I did it."

The disciples who hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes all inhaled a gasp of cold air.

Unexpectedly, Instructor Ye was truly magnanimous, and even openly admitted it.

"Instructor Ye, the Academy has a clear rule: Instructors may not lay hands on disciples. You violated it. I hereby inform you that you are dismissed!"

The other Elders all nodded in agreement.

Ye Qingran, however, remained calm, "Li Zhanglao may have forgotten that I am a Special Grade Instructor. If I recall correctly, an Elder of the Academy can only dismiss a Regular Instructor; dismissing a Special Grade Instructor requires the Dean's consent, right?"

Li Zhanglao choked on his words.

He naturally knew the rule; he was just assuming that Ye Qingran, being new, was unaware of the Academy's regulations.

Unexpectedly, she knew it so clearly.

"You have violated the Academy's rule; even if you go to the Dean, you will still be dismissed!"

Li Zhanglao snorted coldly.

"Then summon the Dean."

Ye Qingran said lightly.

Come. The more people arrive, the better; the more, the merrier.

She intends to make today the Dan Valley's day of disgrace, a day that everyone will never be able to forget in this lifetime!

"Summon the Dean!" Li Zhanglao flicked his sleeve, and someone immediately ran off.

Nan Yan's eyes flashed at that moment, and she stepped before Ye Qingran, "Instructor Ye, setting aside the matter of hitting someone, why can't you think of the greater picture and sacrifice the small self to achieve the greater good?"

Her gaze was pleading, hesitant and faltering.

"If it were me, I would unquestionably leave the Academy. As long as my departure benefits the Academy, I would gladly do so without a single complaint!"

When those words were spoken, many disciples again said that Nan Yan had high enlightenment, unlike the selfish Ye Qingran.

Nan Yan continued, "Moreover, Instructor Ye, with the abilities of your family of four, even if you leave the Academy, you should be able to find a good place. Why then can't you think of the Academy's interests?"
