Chapter 2019: Provocation (1/2)
Li Qiye gave the young king a relaxed smile: “Is that so? I actually want to see these rules then.”
The young king’s eyes flashed with a murderous glint. Li Qiye has provoked him several times - a challenge to his authority at Hundred Halls.
“Good, very well, looks like our Hundred Halls always produce more and better talents in each generation. Princess Ye, no need for you to take action today. Leave it to me to sweep through the trash of my cla.s.sroom.”
“So be it.” Ye Miaoxue replied: “I’m sure as the leader of Hundred Halls, you can deliver justice to our Freesky disciple.”
“Brat, I won’t bully you. You go first for three moves.” The young king arrogantly stepped up with both hands behind his back.
“Three moves? You will probably take him down in two.” Another student from Hundred Halls flattered.
“Young King, Young King, wait!” A student ran over right before the start of the climax and panicked.
“What?” The young king frowned at the rus.h.i.+ng student.
The student whispered to the young king while stealing glances at Li Qiye in horror. The young king’s expression darkened after hearing this and also stared at Li Qiye.
“What’s wrong, Young King?” Ye Miaoxue raised her brows after seeing the hesitating king.
The young king’s color kept on changing with an embarra.s.sed expression as if he had just swallowed a fly. He was at an impa.s.se, not knowing what to do.
“Aren’t you going to uphold the rules of Hundred Hall?” Li Qiye looked at him and said.
“Uhh…” The king smiled wryly and said: ”Umm, Young n.o.ble Li, no, Teacher Li, I didn’t know you were a teacher from Study Room, this is a misunderstanding.”
So it turned out that after Li Qiye was hanging around with Miao Chan, the king immediately wanted to know his background so he sent followers for inquiry. Alas, he found out just now that Li Qiye was actually a teacher, not a student.
After the revelation, the students here immediately lowered their head; some even tumbled backward. They didn’t want Li Qiye to remember their face. Most were ready to run already but couldn’t until Li Qiye says something.
Remember, all teachers at the academy were extraordinary existences. Even the weakest ones were still powerful enough in order to qualify for the position.
Students in the academy could cause trouble and fight with each other. In fact, the academy even implicitly allowed for such a thing since compet.i.tion and conflicts could lead to improvements. The students required experiences and struggles.
But this wasn’t the case for the teachers. One would need to be quite mighty to challenge a teacher and ready to face the consequence. Unless you could defeat all the teachers, be ready for expulsion or even imprisonment!
Ultimately, the student body included geniuses from great powers, even imperial successors. If the academy didn’t have absolute authority and anyone could just challenge it, then there was no point for its existence. Because of this, if someone wanted to be the leader, very well, they just needed to sweep through their peers. If they wanted to fight, they could even challenge the teachers.
However, relying on one’s background to bully a teacher was absolutely taboo.
So now, when Ye Miaoxue and Six-sword’s groups were surrounding Li Qiye, a teacher from the academy, this became quite a big deal.
Li Qiye didn’t need to do anything right now. If he were to report this to the academy, he could have his way. An easy interpretation would be the students challenging him, but if he decided to be harsh on them, he could say that they conspired to take down a teacher!
The latter would result in a grave punishment, if not immediate expulsion.
Miaoxue and Six-sword were in a better spot than the others. After all, they had a good background. Even in the case of expulsion, they could still learn and train later in other places.
