Chapter 87: Acting as if No One Else Is Present

What had been a sure thing was ruined by Hu Yanyong, and Su Yubai was now furious enough to kill.

But Hu Yanyong was an instructor at the academy; if he actually made a move, he could forget about remaining as the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall.

Moreover, while Hu Yanyong couldn't beat him, if he really wanted to run, he couldn't stop him.

Yet he stood in front of Ye Yuan, making things very tricky for Su Yubai.

He had to kill Ye Yuan today—this kid was rising too fast!

For the Su family, he was definitely a potential threat.

If he let Ye Yuan grow, in less than ten years—no, just five—he would become another Ye Hang!

One Ye Hang was already enough to give the Su family headaches; two Ye Hangs...

"Arrest me? Fine, bring it on! I'd like to see how you'll arrest me!" Hu Yanyong said coldly.

"Hmph! Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?" Seeing Hu Yanyong's defiant attitude, Su Yubai was enraged.

Hu Yanyong had always been a staunch follower of Jiang Yunhe, and he had never gotten along with Su Yubai.

They had never been on good terms, and now it was even worse.

Given Su Yubai's strength, capturing Hu Yanyong, who was at the peak of the Spirit Liquid Realm, was simply impossible unless he killed him!

Hu Yanyong was counting on the fact that Su Yubai wouldn't dare kill a fellow disciple.

"Ridiculous! You're the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall, you can touch anyone you want, how could you not dare touch me? But if you want to kill Ye Yuan today, you'll have to walk over my dead body!" Facing the powerful Su Yubai, Hu Yanyong did not back down.

"Good! Good! Good! Everyone saw it—Hu Yanyong is protecting a remnant of the demonic path, making him an enemy of the Danwu Academy! Today, on behalf of the academy, I will eliminate the demon and destroy these two traitors!"

Su Yubai said "good" three times in a row, showing his anger.

With that, Su Yubai unleashed his full aura, pressing down on everyone until they could hardly breathe.

Just as Su Yubai was about to make his move, a graceful figure stepped out from the crowd and stood beside Hu Yanyong.

"If Elder Su insists on making a move, then consider Ruoqing a member of the demonic path as well, and kill me."

Feng Ruoqing said this lightly, but the weight of her words was immense!

Others might not know Feng Ruoqing's identity, but how could Su Yubai not know?

No matter how high Su Yubai's status was in the Danwu Academy, he wouldn't dare touch a single hair on Feng Ruoqing's head!

The imperial Nanfeng clan had always kept a low profile, but families with deep foundations knew that the Nanfeng family was the number one family in the Qin Kingdom, without exception!

Everyone was stunned by Feng Ruoqing's appearance, including Su Yubai and Hu Yanyong.

Many couldn't help but recall some privately circulated rumors, which now seemed not to be baseless!

At this moment, the students looked at Ye Yuan with strange expressions.

So Ye Yuan's greatest skill wasn't martial arts or alchemy, but his ability to win over women!

The Feng family aunt and niece had always been aloof goddesses at the academy; many pursued them, but no one ever truly hoped to win them over.

Yet Ye Yuan had done it!

Standing up at this moment to oppose the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall—if there was no relationship between Feng Ruoqing and Ye Yuan, they wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death!

Of course, more people felt as if the goddess had been defiled, wishing they could slap Ye Yuan twice to show their indignation!

But even if they wanted to slap him, it wouldn't be their turn.

...

Feng Ruoqing turned to look at Ye Yuan, who lay on the ground unable to move, and quickly went over to help him up.

Being embraced by a beauty was naturally a very pleasant thing, but Ye Yuan was half-dead at the moment; how could he have such romantic thoughts?

Just smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Feng Ruoqing, Ye Yuan felt a bit revived.

Feng Ruoqing frowned and said, "Are you alright?"

Ye Yuan gave a bitter smile and said weakly, "Do I look alright? Don't worry, I won't die, but I can't move right now. Lü'er, she..."

Feng Ruoqing frowned again: "Even like this, you're still worried about your little maid!"

"How is she?" Ye Yuan ignored Feng Ruoqing's reproach and asked on his own.

Feng Ruoqing sighed: "With your help suppressing the cold energy, she's fine for now. I knew you were reckless, so I handed her over to Zhi Rou and came myself."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you. I will repay you handsomely another day."

Others' thanks, Feng Ruoqing naturally didn't care about, because she lacked nothing!

But Ye Yuan was different; given that he could refine second-grade super-grade pills at the fourth level of Yuan Qi, his repayment would be priceless!

"I told you not to be reckless, but you wouldn't listen! A gentleman can wait ten years for revenge; what's the rush? Now you almost lost your life—are you satisfied?" Feng Ruoqing didn't mention repayment but instead complained.

It didn't sound like a complaint, but rather like a caring wife's concern.

"Ha... haha, ten years isn't too late? I can't wait even a moment! If I have to wait ten years for such a small fry, what about the others?" Ye Yuan was touched and spoke from the heart.

Feng Ruoqing didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Yuan's words, but at that moment, Ye Yuan's eyes were very complex, like those of a weathered old man, not a fifteen-year-old youth.

What had she been through? How could she have such a weathered and sorrowful look?

Feng Ruoqing couldn't help but wonder.

It was Ye Yuan who came to his senses first and said, "I have healing pills on me, but I can't move now. Could you help me get them?"

"No..." Feng Ruoqing instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Ye Yuan's condition, she hesitated.

Feng Ruoqing, with her precious body, had never touched a man's body before—not even through clothes!

"Ah, forget it, I'll do it myself. Hiss..."

As he spoke, Ye Yuan reached for his chest, but as soon as he moved, he gasped in pain.

Feng Ruoqing quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll do it!"

Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Feng Ruoqing slipped her jade hand into Ye Yuan's robe.

"Ah! My goddess! Why?"

"Is there no way to live? Teacher Feng, no!"

"Let go of that boy, let me do it!"

Everyone shouted in their hearts, but it was all in vain.

Feng Ruoqing fumbled inside Ye Yuan's robe for a moment and pulled out a bottle of pills. By then, her face was flushed red, as if she were drunk.

"Is this it?" Feng Ruoqing asked, her face red.

"That's it! There are five pills left in the bottle; give me the light yellow one." Ye Yuan instructed.

Feng Ruoqing poured out all the pills; there was only one light yellow pill. She picked it up and fed it to Ye Yuan.

After taking the pill, Ye Yuan's originally pale face gradually regained color.

"Alright, help me sit up; I need to refine the medicinal power."

"You can move that quickly?"

Although she knew Ye Yuan couldn't be judged by common sense, Feng Ruoqing was still very surprised. She had never seen any pill with such immediate effects.

Ye Yuan nodded with difficulty and began to refine the medicinal power.
