"I apologize!"
To everyone's surprise, the first to back down was Elder Qing.
Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Elder Qing's shame turned to anger, blushing from her neck to her ears!
"What are you looking at! Can't this elder admit when she's wrong?"
She wasn't stupid. Luo Feiying was one thing; even if there was trouble, it would be an internal matter for the Beast Taming Peak. But with Qianying involved, the nature of the situation changed.
Everyone knew Qianying was allied with Vice Principal Qin, while Elder Zhang was with Vice Principal Xia. This also involved Bai Shengyi. If she got involved, she wouldn't know how she died!
"Junior Sister Bai, Luo Feihua, I am sorry. Today, this elder was indeed negligent and wrongly accused you. I will go to the Disciplinary Hall to receive my punishment."
Elder Qing finished speaking quickly and, covering her face in shame, hurried away as if fleeing.
"Huh? Sister, has Elder Qing changed her ways?" Luo Feihua asked foolishly. She knew Elder Qing had disliked her and her sister for a long time and had expected to suffer a loss today.
Luo Feiying understood the current situation in the academy better than Luo Feihua and shook her head.
After Elder Qing left, all eyes fell on Elder Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground.
Elder Zhang felt a mountain pressing down on his back, forcing him to stoop and lower his head. His face twisted instantly.
"Ling Yue, are you just going to watch people from Qianxiao Peak attack me? Isn't this a transgression?" Elder Zhang shouted at Ling Yue.
Ling Yue: "Where? Venerable Qianying hasn't even moved. I can't see anything." He couldn't see anything.
He picked up Luo Chengli with one hand and stood aside, constantly telling himself, *You brought this on yourself, and now you're scared.*
"I didn't see anything either." Luo Feiying had disciplined Luo Chengli but had no intention of letting Elder Qing off the hook. She directly took Luo Feihua and left the courtyard. "Feihua, let's go. Let's settle some personal grievances first."
After all, with Venerable Qianying present, this Zhang Congyun was finished.
Seeing that both Luo Feiying and Ling Yue were turning a blind eye and staying out of it, Elder Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief.
At this crucial moment, Bai Shengyi poked her head out from behind Qianying and added fuel to the fire with a smile, "Elder Zhang, you are truly confused. My senior sister is so far away from you, how could she have attacked? If you want to spar with my senior sister, don't be shy. Just invite my senior sister to the Battle Arena. My senior sister will surely be happy to oblige."
Bai Shengyi was practically saying, *If you're not convinced, just fight for real.*
Elder Zhang's face turned red with anger, and he almost choked.
"Little clever girl." Qianying smiled and tapped Bai Shengyi's forehead, then turned to Elder Zhang, "Junior Sister is right. Elder Zhang, let's go. This venerable one has agreed."
Qianying smiled, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Qing Fang could leave because she knew Qing Fang was only targeting the Luo sisters. But Zhang Congyun... this person had been causing trouble since returning from Xiaxilou, acting with impunity, relying on the backing of Xiaxilou to abuse the Disciplinary Hall. He deserved to be taught a lesson.
Elder Zhang had no choice but to refuse. His vision swam, and he found himself on the Battle Arena.
He felt a sense of dread and opened his mouth to apologize: "I ap..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish, he was sent flying backward!
Below the Battle Arena, Bai Shengyi admired Qianying's decisive movements while comforting the anxious Moon Jade Cat that had just woken up.
"Good boy, Er Gou, it's alright." Bai Shengyi stroked the Moon Jade Cat's back, softly soothing it.
"Meow~"
The rosemary powder had a significant effect on spirit beasts. The Moon Jade Cat had just woken up and let out a weak meow. The entire cat was unusually docile, nestling into Bai Shengyi's embrace.
Bai Shengyi whispered comforting words. Seeing the cat fall into a deep sleep again, she walked over to Ling Yue. "Elder Ling, may I have a word with Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Luo Chengli couldn't make a sound, his eyes wide with terror, full of refusal. He didn't want to!
But he heard Ling Yue say, "Of course."
Ling Yue was happy to do Bai Shengyi a favor. He raised his hand and waved it in front of Luo Chengli, then threw him towards Bai Shengyi. "He can speak now."
Saying this, he took a few steps back, but not too far. Ling Yue cautiously pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the gossip, not at all feeling that this behavior was unbecoming of his status.
"You... what do you want to do?"
As Luo Chengli looked up, he saw Bai Shengyi's smiling gaze, but a chill ran down his spine, and he kept shrinking back.
"Coward!" Bai Shengyi sneered.
"Bai Sheng..." The indignant voice, upon meeting the coldness in Bai Shengyi's eyes, was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, calming him down instantly. He changed his tune, "Martial Aunt Bai, what do you want to talk about?"
"I'm asking you, why did I offend Yun Youyue?"
Bai Shengyi frowned unhappily. Apart from their encounter in the Thousand Cloud Secret Realm, she had no interaction with Yun Youyue.
If she had to say, it was only...
"You're still pretending? The entire Artifact Refining Peak is buzzing with it. You stole the Starfall Emperor Ring that belonged to Fairy Youyue, and that's how you were able to refine the Spirit Root Purifying Pill!"
As soon as Yun Youyue was mentioned, Luo Chengli perked up again and shouted fearlessly, "You think you can still act as you did in the academy as you did in the Thousand Cloud Secret Realm, where you could cover the sky with one hand? If you hadn't asked Venerable Qianying to help threaten and persecute Fairy Youyue, why would Fairy have gone missing!"
"What?" Bai Shengyi was truly enraged now. "Who the hell is spouting nonsense?"
As soon as she spoke, she saw Ling Yue and Qianying, who were not far away, pause. Both of them seemed to have stopped to check their communication talismans.
Ling Yue said, "Little Friend Bai, could you and Venerable Qianying please accompany me to the main peak? The two Vice Principals and Venerable Yun Kai from the Artifact Refining Peak have requested your presence."
Qianying flew directly to Bai Shengyi's side and pulled Bai Shengyi onto the flying sword.
"Junior Sister, let's go to the main peak and see what new trouble that old fellow Yun Kai has stirred up."
