Upon hearing this, Tang Chuyi was taken aback. He looked at Ye Wushuang and asked, “Did you really do it?”
“It was me,” Ye Wushuang replied.
Seeing Ye Wushuang admit it so openly, Tang Chuyi coughed a little. *You young man, you could have at least tried to deny it.*
Beside him, Qing Chengtian quickly said, “Elder Tang, I, Qing Chengtian, have something to say.”
He then recounted the entire story in detail.
“It was Shang Tianque who was unreasonable first. He injured my father and me. Only then did Young Master Ye step in to teach him a lesson. Please, Elder Tang, see the truth in this matter.”
Hearing this, Tang Chuyi’s expression darkened immediately.
Chu Jian hurriedly interjected, “Elder Tang, no matter what, this fellow is ruthless and not suitable to be a student of Qingyun Academy…”
“Are you teaching me how to do my job?” Tang Chuyi glared at Chu Jian and snorted coldly.
“Chu Jian, remember, you are just an inner court mentor. I, Tang Chuyi, am now an Elder of the Tianyuan Court!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Jian’s face turned even more unpleasant.
In Qingyun Academy, there was a clear hierarchy.
The outer court disciples were all at the Physical Training level.
The inner court disciples were at the Meridian Condensation level.
Above the inner court was the Tianyuan Court.
The disciples of the Tianyuan Court were all experts at the Yuanfu level.
In any major city, they were powerful enough to establish their own families.
The disciples had ranks, and naturally, the mentors and elders of the academy did as well.
The highest-ranking person in Qingyun Academy was, of course, the only Dean, Yun Xingjian.
Apart from the Dean, there were the four famous Vice-Deans.
The Vice-Dean Li standing beside Elder Tang was Li Changqing, one of the four Vice-Deans and a true Tiangang-level strongman, whose power was on par with the heads of the five great families.
The Dean!
The four Vice-Deans!
Next were the Tianyuan Elders, who had to be at least at the Tiangang level.
Originally, Tang Chuyi was at the peak of the Yuanfu level and was the head of the inner court elders.
But a month ago, after returning from the recruitment mission, Tang Chuyi’s sword intent reached the peak of the realm and he broke through to the Tiangang level.
The academy’s many strongmen were very pleased with this, and even the Dean personally praised Tang Chuyi, promoting him to the position of Tianyuan Elder.
Below the Tianyuan Elders were the inner court elders with high Yuanfu-level strength, followed by the inner court mentors and outer court mentors.
Chu Jian was currently an inner court mentor, not yet promoted to elder, and naturally, he was far behind Tang Chuyi, the Tianyuan Elder.
Seeing Tang Chuyi reprimand Chu Jian like this, Shang Tianque understood that Tang Chuyi would likely favor Ye Wushuang. He immediately stepped forward and said, “Elder Tang, although I was wrong first, Ye Wushuang was too ruthless. My Shang Clan will never let this go.”
“Please, Elder, make a just decision and severely punish…”
“Silence.”
However, before Shang Tianque could finish his sentence, Tang Chuyi humphed, “You little brat, trying to use the Shang Clan to pressure me?”
“Shang Tianque, right? Now, immediately, get out of Qingyun Academy. From today on, you, Shang Tianque, are no longer qualified to set foot in Qingyun Academy ever again.”
Hearing this, Shang Tianque’s face turned pale immediately.
“Elder Tang, you are abusing your power!”
“I’ll do as I please. What are you going to do about it?”
Tang Chuyi impatiently said, “Get out now.”
“You…”
“Get out!”
With a single word, Tang Chuyi slapped Shang Tianque and sent him flying. A hundred meters away, a scream from Shang Tianque could be heard from the crowd, clearly indicating that he had fallen hard.
Tang Chuyi turned to Chu Jian and snorted, “Chu Jian, you made a decision without asking right from wrong. Go to the Enforcement Pavilion and receive your punishment!”
“Elder Tang.”
Chu Jian immediately retorted, “You are the one abusing your power. I will report you to the Dean!”
“Go ahead and report me!” Tang Chuyi sneered, “Come on, Vice-Dean Li Changqing is right here. Report me to him directly!”
Hearing this, Chu Jian immediately looked to Vice-Dean Li Changqing, who was standing beside Tang Chuyi, with a pleading expression.
After all, Li Changqing was one of the four Vice-Deans, with extremely high status and position.
