Chapter 39: What Is Xiao Xu?

The others present thought something similar to Su Muyu. Yi Qianmo had spent the last thirteen years in the Yu family; how could he possibly be Su Muyu’s teacher? Moreover, their statuses were worlds apart.

However, Su Muyu nodded and said, "That’s right, Yi Qianmo is indeed my teacher."

When those words were spoken, everyone from the Yi family was left speechless, and Yu Changqing on the ground looked ashen, "Your Highness… please don’t joke with me!"

"Who is joking with you?"

As Su Muyu spoke, she took out a token from her pocket and said, "Not only is Yi Qianmo my teacher, but he is also the Minister Professor of my Tianyuan Academy!"

The news before was already shocking, but they didn’t expect that the following words would be even more astonishing.

"Tianyuan Decree, this is the Tianyuan Decree, the Token of the Tianyuan Academy of the Yan Kingdom!"

"It is said that by possessing the Tianyuan Decree, one can enter the inner mansion of the Tianyuan Academy for training. Who is this woman, and how does she have the Tianyuan Decree?"

"She doesn’t even regard the Xuanyuan Sect, and Yu Changqing still calls her Your Highness. Her identity… Could she be that princess?"

Upon seeing the Tianyuan Decree, everyone quickly deduced Su Muyu’s identity, and at that moment, no one dared to meet her gaze.

Princess Jinyang, the most beloved sister of King Yan, the youngest daughter of the founding emperor of the Yan Kingdom, stands above everyone else in the entire Yan Kingdom, apart from the Four Great Sects.

Yi Danian and Yi Tianyang exchanged glances and looked at Yi Qianmo, only to find him calm, showing no surprise at what was happening in front of him.

Soon, others also turned to look.

They were not amazed by Su Muyu’s identity but by the teacher they saw in Su Muyu’s eyes.

Because they could not imagine at all that Yi Qianmo was actually Su Muyu’s teacher, and he was even the Minister Professor of Tianyuan Academy!

What right does he have?

Not only they, but even Yu Changqing and Steward Yu could not understand; they even doubted that Su Muyu made up all of this to deal with the Yu family.

But why would Su Muyu make up all of this for Yi Qianmo? This is a world where power matters, and they were not foolish enough to believe Su Muyu fell in love with Yi Qianmo at first sight.

This is a world where power matters; without power, no matter how good-looking you are, you are nothing.

"Why?"

Yu Changqing held onto a glimmer of hope, "Do you know that he killed a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect? If you protect him, it means Tianyuan Academy will stand against Xuanyuan Sect; you must think carefully, Your Highness!"

"What is Xiao Xu? For an outer disciple, Xuanyuan Sect would oppose my Tianyuan Academy?"

Su Muyu looked at him coldly.

Yu Changqing suddenly looked very pale and said, "Xiao Xu is not enough; what about Youwei?"

"I tell you, his value is far greater than Yu Youwei’s; you Yu family really do not know what you have!"

She lowered her head, spoke softly, and turned to Yi Qianmo, saying, "Teacher, how should we deal with this guy?"

Only at this moment did Yu Changqing give up hope.

Yi Qianmo walked over, and just then, a figure stepped forward and said, "Qianmo, leave him to me!"

The person was none other than the old man Yi Danian. Remembering the feeling Grandpa had kept inside, Yi Qianmo gave Su Muyu a look, and she quickly stepped back and stood to the side.

"Hahaha… Yi Danian, even with Tianyuan Academy behind you, your Yi family cannot escape disaster. Do you really think what happened back then was so simple?"

Yu Changqing slowly got up. Once the master of the Yu family, a powerful figure, now he looked extremely embarrassed. "And you, Su Muyu, I don’t know what kind of trick Yi Qianmo played on you, but your choice today will surely bring great trouble to your Tianyuan Academy, hahaha…"

"Pfft!"

With a flash of the sword, the old man appeared in front of Yu Changqing and struck down with his sword, finally releasing the stress he had held for thirteen years.

Next, Yi Tianyang also stepped in front of Steward Yu and raised his hand, bringing down his sword, cutting Steward Yu directly in half.

"Kill!"

Yi Tianyang turned his head, full of killing intent.

With his command, the masters of the Yi family rushed out, immediately overwhelming the Yu family guards who were present, leaving them in chaos; the fight lasted less than a moment before it was over.

Most of the masters from the Yu family chose to surrender; they had no choice, since the three great families of Green Cloud City were completely finished, and those loyal to the Yu family were all killed without mercy.

Yi Tianyu arrived late with Yi Lingyu and found that the battle was already over; he went to find Yi Lingyu, intending to escape with her.

Seeing the scene before him, Yi Tianyu was stunned.

……

In the secret room, Yi Qianmo sat cross-legged on the mat, regaining his lost spiritual power.

"Congratulations, Teacher, on reaching the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

Su Muyu clasped her hands to congratulate him; in the entire secret room, there were only the two of them.

Yi Qianmo opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said, "How long have you been waiting outside?"

Su Muyu was taken aback; she had actually arrived earlier but just didn’t come in, "Not long, I arrived when you were fighting Xiao Xu. I knew you could handle Xiao Xu, so I didn’t want to disturb you."

"Is it that you didn’t want to come in and create trouble, or did you want to test me?"

Yi Qianmo’s gaze was icy.

Under his watchful eyes, Su Muyu’s smile froze. The boy in front of her was clearly two years younger, yet she always felt as if she were facing the old monsters at the academy.

"If you didn’t have the strength, I wouldn’t have chosen you as my teacher," Su Muyu forced a smile.

"It is interesting that the master always tests the student, but I have never heard of a student testing the master!"

As Yi Qianmo spoke, he suddenly wiped the smile off his face and said coldly, "You’re waiting outside for me to kill Xiao Xu, aren’t you?"

Su Muyu, who had been calm until now, immediately changed her expression upon hearing this.

Before, she saw Yi Qianmo as just a young boy with a high talent for alchemy. Su Muyu knew that such people often have a high opinion of themselves and love to show off.

But as long as they receive enough respect and pride, they are easy to control. However, when Yi Qianmo exposed her tricks, she realized he was far from the genius boy she had imagined.

"The teacher is wise."

Su Muyu said, "The teacher and Xuanyuan Sect are destined not to go together, so…"

"So, after I kill Xiao Xu, there will be no turning back, right?"

Yi Qianmo sneered and said, "How I choose is my business, and you don’t need to worry! There cannot be a next time for something like this, do you understand?"

Cold sweat broke out on Su Muyu’s face. She swallowed hard and said, "Don’t worry, teacher, there will definitely not be a next time. Also, I have already taken care of the Yu family for you when you dealt with Xiao Xu."

"Hmm!"

Yi Qianmo looked at her unexpectedly.

In the past, he would have definitely disliked Su Muyu, because although she seemed harmless, she was actually very cunning.

But now he did not dislike Su Muyu, because he had enough strength to handle her!

"What is the teacher’s plan next?"

Su Muyu said, "It is said that Yu Youwei is on Green Dragon Mountain, but I suggest you not go looking for her just yet. Come back to Tianyuan Academy with me first."

"Since we will meet sooner or later!"

Yi Qianmo said, "Why not do it now?"

Su Muyu frowned and then smiled, saying, "Don’t worry, teacher. Tianyuan Academy will definitely keep you safe!"
