Chapter 600: Do I Have Permission for You to Leave?

The dark clouds over the dense forest were blown apart by the wind, restoring the previously pristine blue sky.

Everything returned to normal, except that massive Azure Dragon still hovered there.

Ye Qingran put away her qin and wiped a thin sheen of sweat from her forehead.

The people at the Academy gradually came to their senses, and at this moment, the only thought in their minds was that Ye Qingran had tamed the Azure Dragon.

But before this, they didn't even know that Ye Qingran was a Beast Tamer!

No matter how unbelievable it seemed, the facts already explained everything!

"Instructor Ye, you're amazing!"

Hong Wu was practically going crazy.

What kind of treasure Instructor is this?

Strong in power, capable of alchemy, and also an exceptionally powerful Beast Taming Grandmaster!

Qin Feixue and a few others beside them were also overjoyed.

Qin Zixie slightly opened his mouth, a faint glimmer flashing in his eyes.

This woman kept reshaping his perception!

He lost to her back then, as if it weren't a big deal?

"Master, it's you! I finally found you!"

The most excited of all was Duan Yu.

Amid the crowd's stunned gazes, Duan Yu dashed to Ye Qingran's side, tilting his head slightly as he looked at her, his whole demeanor unusually nervous and cramped, as if he had met the person he admired and respected most.

"Master? What's going on?"

"I don't know, seems Duan Yu already knew Ye Qingran before?"

"She didn't act like this before."

Ye Qingran stood at a height, looking down at Duan Yu, a slight raise of her eyebrow, "You've seen me before?"

Duan Yu nodded frantically, "You probably don't know me, but I remember you clearly. Back then, outside the capital of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao in the Central Region, when I tamed that giant beast, I was there too!"

Central Region?

Outside the capital of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao?

Giant beast?

Ye Qingran did have some recollection.

She had many Beast Taming experiences over the years; if Duan Yu didn't explain, she wouldn't recall.

But that incident left a fairly strong impression, after all she met the irritating Xuan Yuan Luo.

"You were there too?"

"Yes!"

Ye Qingran nodded, "Did you start learning instruments and Beast Taming at that time?"

Duan Yu nodded again.

"No wonder!" Ye Qingran understood.

She had just thought Duan Yu's style resembled hers a bit; it turned out he had learned from her, so it made sense.

She looked at Duan Yu, sensing their excitement, and asked, "You've been looking for me? Looking for what?"

Duan Yu replied, "If I hadn't met you back then, I wouldn't have resolutely taken the Beast Tamer path. Over the years I've been striving to improve myself, aiming to one day become a Beast Tamer as excellent as you. I wanted to find you to tell you you're my role model, and also to let you see my achievements."

Duan Yu didn't hold back anything; they have always spoken whatever came to mind, never caring about others' opinions.

Consequently, everyone who heard the words was unusually shocked.

No wonder after Duan Yu returned from training abroad, they seemed like a different person; it was because meeting Ye Qingran solidified their resolve to carve out a sky on the Beast Taming road.

So, could it be explained that Duan Yu's current achievements are all thanks to Ye Qingran?

Doesn't that mean Ye Qingran is the mentor of Duan Yu, the Beimingzhou's number‑one Beast Tamer?

"I see."

Ye Qingran nodded, unable not to sigh inwardly at how truly wondrous fate is.

"Instructor Ye, I know that a few days ago the Academy was attacked by a Spirit Beast Horde; it was my overreach, trying to tame all the Spirit Beasts. You intervened and saved me, preventing a backlash!"

"Here, I sincerely apologize to you!"

Duan Yu's tone was very sincere; while speaking, they deeply bowed, and anyone could see their remorse.

This statement and action made many Academy disciples lower their heads, feeling great shame.

They had always believed that Ye Qingran's intervention with Duan Yu was because she feared Duan Yu would steal her spotlight.

They didn't expect that Ye Qingran never intended to harm Duan Yu, but to save them!

Their petty hearts measure the noble's belly!

"The ignorant are not guilty."

Duan Yu herself was not at fault; she simply lacked the ability to discern the rightness of the matter.

Some people, though...

Ye Qingran looked at Nan Yan. Nan Yan's heart tightened at the gaze.

"That day, my intervention was timely; even though you fell unconscious, it was just excessive consumption—sleeping a night cured you. So why is there a claim that Nan Yan saved you?"

Ye Qingran deliberately made sure everyone could hear.

Nan Yan stole her credit, deliberately lured Duan Yu, as if she wouldn't mind?

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone stared at Nan Yan with a strange look.

"I…" Nan Yan was flustered for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Duan Yu coldly looked at Nan Yan and told everyone, "She didn't save me; she merely pretended, giving me a pill to take, and when I woke up she lied that she saved me. It's just like how she once plagiarized Qin Feixue's credit for saving Lu Yunfeng."

Duan Yu's words were like a merciless blade, making even Nan Yan's thick skin unable to bear it.

Tsk tsk, Nan Yan really is a dog that can't change its habit of eating feces!

I can no longer bear to look at Nan Yan, this woman.

Really, every time I see her I feel disgusted!

After being exposed by Qin Feixue for her ugly appearance, Nan Yan had already become a laughingstock among people; today, being exposed by Ye Qingran that she is not Duan Yu's life-saving benefactor, adds insult to injury for her reputation.

From now on, everyone will know that Nan Yan is a vain and vicious woman!

Nan Yan clutched her chest, almost going mad.

But she had no retort, and could only stare at Ye Qingran with eyes full of hatred.

Ye Qingran, I will definitely make you pay a heavy price!

The Azure Dragon originally had its potential stimulated by the power of Dead Qi, which is why it grew to such a huge size.

Without the stimulation of Dead Qi's power, the Azure Dragon soon shrank into a small dragon only several zhang long.

Compared to its previous mighty and imposing aura, the Azure Dragon in its small dragon form is now somewhat cute and delicate.

Those eyes, free of the Black Mist's contamination, displayed a clear azure hue, like jade, making one's heart swoon and eliciting astonishment.

Woman, you're sensible enough not to have lied to me.

The little Azure Dragon sent a mental message to Ye Qingran, its tone carrying the same aloof arrogance as a young master.

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows. 'Of course, how could I deceive you?'

The little Azure Dragon nodded. 'Alright, I'll be going first.'

Wait.

Is there anything else?

Ye Qingran smiled. 'Did I give you permission to leave?'
