"Master Nandian, this is Guan Yue. He is only nine years old and was specially recruited by our academy," Teacher Zhong introduced him enthusiastically. Since Guan Yue was specially recruited, Teacher Zhong knew him.
"Oh, Guan Yue. Would you like to take me as your master? My name is Nantian," the old man suddenly asked Guan Yue directly.
Teacher Zhong immediately explained to Guan Yue with great enthusiasm, "This Master Nandian is a renowned Great Power, famous throughout our Southern Source Empire. He is a legendary figure in the hearts of Disciples and also our National Protector Master." Teacher Zhong's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. What a great opportunity! Why wasn't it me?
Guan Yue looked at Master Nandian and noticed that he was tall and thin, very amiable, with several age spots on his face, yet still spirited, eagerly looking at him.
"Master Nandian, I already have a master. Thank you," Guan Yue politely declined the offer without much thought.
Teacher Zhong was astonished; the disciple of the National Protector Master! How could Guan Yue dare to refuse such a tremendous opportunity right in front of him?
The other teachers who accompanied Master Nandian looked at Guan Yue as if he were a fool: "What an ignorant idiot! He actually turned down such a rare opportunity presented to him? Is this kid lacking common sense?"
"Oh, may I ask who your master is?" Master Nandian seemed unwilling to give up and continued to inquire.
"My master's name is Shang Fu Xia Tian. He treats me very well. I hope you can understand," Guan Yue replied with a bow. Teacher Zhong was even more puzzled; Guan Yue completely disregarded Master Nandian's dignity and outright rejected him. It seemed that Master Nandian was taken aback upon hearing the name Futian; perhaps they knew each other?
"Oh, so it's that old ghost Futian. He must be fortunate," Master Nandian sighed and then silently turned to leave. Guan Yue was taken aback; he knew his master? It seemed he was also quite a formidable character. However, he didn't dwell on it and left as well; he was going to eat because he was very hungry. Since passing the Gravity Trial at a hundred times normal gravity, Guan Yue had noticed his appetite had greatly increased, and his body was growing rapidly; his original clothes were starting to feel very short.
Master Nandian suddenly angrily said to Teacher Zhong, "Tell Dean Kintian that I will not see him again. I am taking my leave now."
Teacher Zhong panicked: "Master Nandian, please do not be angry! If Guan Yue has offended you in any way, please forgive him. After all, he is just an ignorant child. Please return to your residence to rest for now. Allow me to discuss it with Guan Yue; I will make sure he comes to apologize to you. Please give me this opportunity."
Master Nandian slowly replied, "Very well, this is also a matter of insufficient fate; one cannot blame others. I truly must leave now. In the future, I need to have a successor who is even stronger than this child Guan Yue; otherwise, I would have no face to see that old man Futian again."
Teacher Zhong was shocked to learn that Master Nandian intended to take Guan Yue as his disciple, which was a tremendous opportunity. In the eyes of countless Disciples in the Southern Source Empire, Master Nandian shone like the sun. Even Teacher Zhong wished to become his disciple. He felt a pang of regret, wondering why Master Nandian did not choose him.
Just moments ago, Teacher Zhong had introduced Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian to Master Nandian, who only offered a few words of encouragement and showed no intention of accepting him as a disciple. Yet, he seemed particularly fond of Guan Yue. Was Guan Yue more talented than Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian? Teacher Zhong was puzzled.
Meanwhile, Guan Yue had arrived at the cafeteria and was devouring his meal. He was eating five bowls of rice along with many dishes. If it weren't for the free meals provided by Qilin Academy, he would struggle to afford food.
At that moment, Wang Renwei stormed in with a group, surrounding Guan Yue, who was still eating. A cold smirk spread across his round face as he said, “Guan Yue, I heard you stole our Peak Fire King and earned over a thousand points. With such actions, you managed to enter the Gravity Trial room for an extended period and even passed the hundredfold Gravity Trial. How do you plan to account for this?” His expression was menacing, as if he wanted to dig out the food that Guan Yue had just eaten.
It turned out that Lei Dazhuang and others were displeased with how Zhang Hai and Yang Zun acted smugly after associating with noble offspring. They mocked them and revealed that Guan Yue had found three Peak Fire Kings, earning over fourteen hundred points. When Wang Renwei and Ruo Yi learned this, they were furious and vowed to reclaim those points. They had struggled near the Peak Fire Essence for over twenty days, each earning only about thirty points. Meanwhile, Guan Yue had never even approached the Peak Fire Essence! How could he have obtained the Peak Fire Kings!
Standing next to Wang Renwei was a witness brought in by him, responsible for guarding the Qilin Academy, named Teacher He. Not only did he have a good relationship with Wang Renwei and Ruo Yi, but he was also a distant relative of Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. At this moment, he spoke up: “Guan Yue, I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless. Now, with eleven people including Ruo Yi and Wang Renwei, we are reporting that you stole their Peak Fire King found in the Gerson Mountain Range. You must confess your crimes and accept punishment from the academy.”
The group that went to the Gerson Mountain Range with Wang Renwei and Ruo Yi stood behind him, their faces filled with smugness. They greedily thought that if they could claim all the points from the Peak Fire King, they too could enter all training locations in the academy.
Only one person, Black-faced, did not follow along; he was determined not to oppose Guan Yue. Moreover, such blatant lies made him feel ashamed!
Guan Yue looked coldly at Wang Renwei, Teacher He, and the nine others, as well as many onlookers in the cafeteria. He had heard many rumors about Teacher He, known as a lecherous figure and a demon within the academy who used his position to do bad deeds. The students dared not voice their anger.
At this moment, however, Guan Yue felt secretly pleased about their arrival and began plotting how to deal with them. He feared there wouldn't be enough spectators, so he spoke up: “Respected Teacher He, and equally respected classmate Wang Renwei. One is blind to reality while the other speaks nonsense; I am truly impressed. To take such an absurd claim seriously makes you both unique—no one can surpass you in this regard. By the way, where is another respected classmate, Ruo Yi?”
“Whether he comes or not is none of your business,” retorted Wang Renwei. “Quickly confess your crimes.” His round face feigned anger but secretly held satisfaction: today would be the day that Guan Yue fell into their hands!
“Guan Yue, I formally tell you that you must publicly apologize to them and return all points earned from the Peak Fire King. Additionally, you must make a public confession in front of all new students; otherwise, I will recommend expelling you from the academy,” declared Teacher He, showing no mercy towards him.
At this time, various voices emerged from the crowd of onlookers, while those allied with Wang Renwei desperately accused Guan Yue of stealing their Peak Fire King in the Gerson Mountain Range.
"Turns out Guan Yue is truly not to be underestimated. He actually steals from others."
"I originally thought Guan Yue was a promising Disciple, but unfortunately, he turned out to be a thief."
Envy and jealousy led some onlookers' discussions to gradually turn into personal attacks:
"If it weren't for the Peak Fire King he stole, he would never have been able to break through the One Hundred Times Gravity."
"People like him are the most terrifying. If he becomes a strong figure in the academy, what hope do we have?"
"Scum, absolute scum. That little Guan Yue is even worse than a pig or a dog."
At that moment, Sima Xiaosa, who was also eating in the cafeteria, rushed in anxiously and shouted, "At that time in the Gerson Mountain Range, it was Ruo Yi and Wang Renwei who wanted to hunt down Guan Yue. Moreover, we discovered that Peak Fire Essence. They took our Peak Fire Essence just because they had more people."
Regarding Sima Xiaosa's words, the crowd began to murmur again, but most people believed what Wang Renwei and his group of ten said because they were the ones who raised the issue first. If Wang Renwei and his group had stolen Guan Yue's Peak Fire Essence, then why didn't they report it to the academy?
Listening to the crowd's discussions, Wang Renwei felt even more smug. He turned to Teacher He beside him and said, "Teacher He, everything is very clear now. You should handle this directly. We must seek justice for ourselves. Expel this Guan Yue from Qilin Academy. We need a clean sky and a pure environment in our academy. We can't let this rat droppings spoil our soup."
Other new students who were already filled with envy and hatred towards Guan Yue joined in the uproar:
"Expel Guan Yue!"
"We cannot allow such a despicable person to exist in Qilin Academy."
"His four roommates are no good either; expel them all!"
"Did you hear that? This is the voice of the people. I now command you to apologize to all ten of them immediately and to hand over all the points you obtained from the Peak Fire King. When the next academy event comes, you will make a thorough self-reflection in front of all the new students. Otherwise, you will be expelled immediately," Teacher He said coldly to Guan Yue.
Guan Yue had been enduring this, suppressing his anger. He told himself to hold on a little longer and wait until he could gather more people for a counterattack.
At that moment, Ouyang Shaohua stepped forward from the crowd. As she passed by, everyone instinctively made way for her. She stood beside Guan Yue, raised her bright yet solemn face, and mustered the courage to express her opinion: "Teacher He, Wang Renwei, I am an outsider. I did not go to the Gerson Mountain Range, nor was I at the scene of their incident. But I can say for certain that Wang Renwei and his group have misunderstood Guan Yue. Perhaps the details of the situation were unclear, or maybe it happened suddenly and everyone did not understand what happened. However, I believe that Guan Yue would never steal from Wang Renwei and his group!"
Ouyang Shaohua said this last sentence with all her strength. Everyone present understood very clearly: Ouyang Shaohua did not believe that Guan Yue would commit theft!
In this situation, Ouyang Shaohua's words indicated her complete blind trust in Guan Yue! Her statement further stirred up great jealousy among many boys, who began to laugh loudly:
"So Guan Yue has a thing with the beautiful Ouyang!"
"I didn't expect Guan Yue to be so charming that even the beautiful Ouyang would stand up for him. Turns out he's just a man living off others."
Two girls even loudly discussed:
"Haha, who would have thought that little Guan Yue has special talents? But I can't feel it."
"Of course, it's because the beautiful Ouyang has unique taste; we can't compare."
Ouyang Shaohua's face turned slightly red, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, clearly showing her anger at those two girls who were speaking about her. Yet she remained firmly by Guan Yue's side without moving an inch.
Wang Dawei tried to persuade her: "Ouyang Shaohua, there's no need to defend him. He's just a petty person who has repeatedly gone against us. Now he even stole our Peak Fire King points to gain entry into the Gravity Training Ground. He deceives others and commits heinous acts; he should be punished by the academy." Wang Renwei's round face was filled with sincerity as he expressed his concerns about Ouyang Shaohua.
Ouyang Shaohua calmly glanced at Wang Renwei before turning away and no longer looking at him. Wang Renwei felt embarrassed and secretly angry.
The number of students gathered in the cafeteria was increasing, and many upperclassmen were drawn over as well. The voices of the crowd grew louder, and Teacher He’s expression became increasingly grim.
At that moment, Guan Yue suddenly jumped onto a dining table and loudly addressed the densely packed heads in front of him: “Dear seniors, right now, Wang Renwei and eight others are accusing me of stealing their Peak Fire King at Gerson Mountain Range. And now Teacher He is backing them up, demanding that I return all the points I earned by trading for the Peak Fire King and publicly apologize to Wang Renwei and his group. I would like to ask these nine individuals, including the esteemed Teacher He, a few questions. Shouldn’t they answer my questions so that everyone present can use their intelligence to uncover the truth before deciding how to handle this?”
“Right!”
“They should face it directly!”
“I agree, go ahead and ask!”
The onlookers unanimously supported Guan Yue's statement; since it involved their intelligence, they naturally wanted to show off a bit.
Seeing everyone in agreement, Guan Yue began his questioning:
“Wang Renwei, clarify this: at Gerson Mountain Range, there were eleven of you, including Ruo Yi and a classmate with a black face who are not here. We only had four people; how could I possibly steal your Peak Fire Essence?”
Wang Renwei relaxed a bit; he had been worried that Guan Yue would ask bizarre questions. As for this question, he had already prepared an answer: “Because after we discovered the Peak Fire Essence, everyone was focused on extracting it, and you took the opportunity to steal the Peak Fire King.”
“Is that so? Did everyone hear that? The Peak Fire Essence can be freely extracted,” Guan Yue loudly pointed out. “Were all of you extracting Peak Fire Essence?”
“Of course! Do you think extracting Peak Fire Essence is easy?” Wang Renwei began rolling his eyes at Guan Yue. “Idiot, those Peak Fire Essences aren’t easy to extract.”
