The spiritual bird alighted on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, and immediately a voice rang out.
“Brat, you promised to be punished in the Qingliao Tower at the academy. You’ve been home for more than ten days. Are you even still a student of Qingyun Academy?”
The voice of Li Changqing.
Ye Wushuang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, “I’ve been too busy. I’ll go back as soon as I’ve dealt with everything and accept the punishment!”
The spiritual bird, as if sensing the voice, spread its wings and flew high into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.
Inside Qingyun Academy, in a valley, Li Changqing had been obsessed these past ten days, practicing his sword day and night, much like Elder Tang Chuyi not long ago.
A spiritual bird descended and spoke, “I’ve been too busy. I’ll go back as soon as I’ve dealt with everything and accept the punishment!”
Hearing this lazy and lackadaisical voice, Li Changqing cursed loudly, “The little brat still has the nerve to be so relaxed. Does he think he’s coming back to collect a reward?”
“Old Li, what’s got you so angry?”
Tang Chuyi appeared in the valley, chuckling and saying, “I heard from Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng that Ye Wushuang demonstrated a sword technique for you. So, how did it go? Any progress?”
Li Changqing snorted, “Mind your own business.”
“Come now, don’t be so impatient. Not everyone has the same insight into the Way of the Sword and such unique talent as I do!”
“You?” Li Changqing sneered, “If it weren’t for Ye Wushuang’s sword technique, would your sword intent be complete? Stop boasting to me.”
Li Changqing stopped his practice and said again, “So, what’s the matter?”
“What else could it be?” Tang Chuyi also came over and sat down, complaining, “The new students’ trial on Lingyun Mountain has ended, and the annual Cloud-Treading Ranking battle for the inner disciples is about to begin.”
The Cloud-Treading Ranking!
There are a hundred spots in total.
The disciples on the list are undoubtedly the top hundred in the vast inner court of Qingyun Academy.
Most of them are at the eighth or ninth level of the Meridian-Condensing Realm.
Even the top ten are heavenly geniuses who can step into the Yuanfu Realm at any time.
Tang Chuyi continued, “The academy holds these new student trials every year, and the senior students’ training is a real hassle.”
“Has the location for this year’s Cloud-Treading Ranking battle been decided?”
Every year, the method of the Cloud-Treading Ranking battle is different. Sometimes it’s a tournament on a platform, and sometimes it’s a trial in the mountains to hunt and kill spiritual beasts. In any case, it’s all to update the ranking and keep the disciples motivated.
Li Changqing immediately said, “I’ll ask Mu Yunxuan, Bai Limu, and Feng Luochen later and see what they think.”
“Time… let’s set it for a month from now!”
“Deal!”
Tang Chuyi continued, “This time, let Ye Wushuang participate as well.”
“Once that brat joins, it’ll be a bloodbath. The Five Great Families want to get rid of him, don’t they? Let the kid kill a few more.”
Li Changqing sighed helplessly, “You old man, you’re really something.”
“Me, bad?” Tang Chuyi snorted, “The Five Great Families have been too arrogant these past few years. What has Qingyun Academy become? If we don’t do something, it’ll lose its status as the number one academy.”
“I understand.”
Li Changqing watched Tang Chuyi leave and smiled.
“Ye Wushuang… it’s not bad to stir up some trouble…”
In the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital, inside the Ye Mansion.
The sun set in the west.
Ye Wushuang called Ye Feifei over.
“Big brother, what’s up?” Ye Feifei asked curiously.
“I’m now a student of Qingyun Academy, and I can’t stay at home all the time.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “I asked Mu Qiqi, and there’s an academy in the Imperial Capital called Qingtian Academy, specifically for cultivating the martial arts foundation of boys and girls aged ten to fifteen.”
“I’ve enrolled you, and you can report in a few days. Start there and lay a foundation for your martial arts.”
Ye Feifei replied, “Uncle He can teach me, and there’s also Third Uncle…”
“No way.”
Ye Wushuang flatly refused.
