“Ye Wushuang, was it you who shattered Shang Tianque’s arm?”
Tutor Chu fixed his gaze on Ye Wushuang and demanded an answer in a stern voice.
Ye Wushuang glanced at Tutor Chu but remained silent.
Tutor Chu reiterated, “I am Chu Yan, an inner court tutor of Qingyun Academy. I am asking you a question. Do you hear me, Ye Wushuang?”
After another look at Chu Yan, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “It was me, but…”
“Enough!”
Chu Yan abruptly waved his hand and declared, “You dare to harm a fellow student right in front of Qingyun Academy before even stepping through its gates? How dare you! We will not tolerate such a reckless and arrogant individual in our academy. Leave now!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows twitched in a subtle expression of defiance.
Standing nearby, Shang Tianque watched Ye Wushuang with a cold, mocking smile. How dare Ye Wushuang shatter his arm so effortlessly? Ye Wushuang was as good as dead, a thousand times over! If Ye Wushuang could not enter Qingyun Academy, Shang Tianque had a myriad of ways to ensure that Ye Wushuang would never find a place to rest in peace within the capital.
At that moment, Qing Chengtian hurried forward and said, “Tutor Chu, it was Shang Tianque who started the provocation. You should be reprimanding him first.”
“Are you teaching me how to handle matters?”
Chu Yan sneered coldly and warned, “Young man, if you utter another word, I will strip you of your eligibility to enter Qingyun Academy. Do you believe me?”
“How can you, as a tutor of the academy, be so unjust?” Qing Chengtian retorted, clearly unconvinced. “You haven’t even inquired into the matter and have already made your decision?”
Chu Yan scoffed, “So what? And what of it?”
Qing Chengtian was about to argue further, but Ye Wushuang gently restrained him. Turning to Chu Yan with a smile, Ye Wushuang said, “I have long heard that the Chu and Shang clans, among other powerful families, wield immense influence within Qingyun Academy. It seems the rumors are true.”
“Since Qingyun Academy does not welcome me, I shall take my leave.”
Previously, Ye Wushuang had participated in the Qingyun Academy entrance examination in Liuyue City, hoping to gain a foothold in the capital. However, now that he had reunited with Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, Lei Chengtian, and others, and was residing in the Ye Mansion, the need for that identity seemed less important.
“Ye Wushuang!”
At that very moment, a voice of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Two figures were seen approaching together from within the academy. As the disciples of Qingyun Academy caught sight of them, their expressions changed, and they all bowed respectfully.
One of them appeared elderly but was full of vigor and high-spirited. It was none other than Elder Tang Chuyi, whom they had not seen for a month.
The other figure, dressed in a light blue robe, exuded an amiable demeanor with a smile on his face that made people feel as if they were basking in a warm spring breeze. He seemed to be in his early to mid-forties, and his identity was not immediately clear.
Chu Yan looked at the two men and quickly bowed in respect.
“Elder Tang.”
“Dean Li.”
Chu Yan’s eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
Today was the day for new students to register, yet these two held high positions and wielded significant power. Why would they be here?
However, Tang Chuyi paid no attention to Tutor Chu Yan. Instead, he walked straight up to Ye Wushuang and laughed heartily, “Young man, I’ve been meaning to find you these past few days. You’ve finally arrived.”
“Elder Tang,” Ye Wushuang greeted politely with a respectful gesture, “I have some matters to attend to and must take my leave.”
“Hm?”
Tang Chuyi was taken aback for a moment, then said, “Aren’t you here to register today? After registration, you’re supposed to participate in the Lingyun Mountain trial. Where do you think you’re going?”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Chu Yan and the others, and with a hint of helplessness, he said, “I would like to register, but this Tutor Chu here claims that I injured someone and is calling me a reckless troublemaker, unfit to enter Qingyun Academy. He has revoked my eligibility!”
What?
Could this be true?
Tang Chuyi’s expression changed dramatically.
Damn it, Ye Wushuang was destined to become a student of Qingyun Academy. Whoever dared to stand in his way would face dire consequences!
At that moment, Chu Yan hurried forward and said with a respectful gesture, “Elder Tang, this young man had a verbal altercation with Shang Tianque and tore off his arm. How can such a ruthless and heartless individual be admitted to our academy?”
