Advisor Feng Li walked up to Mu Tingying and Nanrong Ni. Surprisingly, he seemed to be ignoring their injuries.
His face was cold as he snapped, ”I have no time to waste dealing with your clans, but you better pass my message to them! If something happens to a member of the national team that I, Feng Li, have chosen before the World College Tournament, I won't forgive the people responsible easily, even if they are the number one or two clans of our country!”
Nanrong Ni and Mu Tingying were shivering in anger after hearing this.
It was supposed to be the two of them giving Mu Ningxue a deadly blow, turning her from a talented genius to a cheap, detestable woman, so that she would never be able to stand at the same height as them. However, not only did they fail to do any harm to her, they were suffering from severe injuries inflicted by Mo Fan, and were then warned by Advisor Feng Li! The grudge they were holding was even more unbearable than the pain inflicted by the lightning and the fire!
Even though Mu Ningxue had lost everything, she was still one of the most talented Ice Mages of their country, a formal representative of the national team. It went without saying that the advisors would not care about the rules of their clans. However, if their student was injured, they would seek responsibility!
”You have only yourself to blame for the injuries you're suffering,” Advisor Feng Li harrumphed coldly. He then turned to Mo Fan and said, ”Mo Fan, you've slightly overdone it. Please control your temper, even if you're delivering punishment on behalf of me.”
Mo Fan was startled, but he quickly reacted. He nodded and said, ”I'll be more careful next time. It's just that I really despise people that try to hurt their own teammates! I was actually very gentle compared to before, considering that I see Mu Ningxue as even more important than myself.”
Feng Li glared at Mo Fan. His mustache curled up.
-This asshole, I already gave him an excuse to justify his actions. He just needed to follow suit, yet he is trying to take the lead instead!-
Feng Li was the main advisor of the national team. He was basically fully in charge of the team. No clan dared to touch him due to his overwhelming status. Both Nanrong Ni and Mu Tingying were infuriated when they learned Mo Fan was punishing them on behalf of Advisor Feng Li!
It meant that they could not take revenge on Mo Fan!
Li Kaifeng and Zu Jiming had recovered consciousness. They also wanted to make Mo Fan pay, but they had no way of doing so.
”We'll consider it settled. You can deal with your personal conflicts after the World College Tournament. If I see anyone breaking the rules again, I'll definitely take it to the factions behind you!” Feng Li was so loud that everyone felt their eardrums hurting.
Guan Yu, who did not take part in the battle immediately, helped those that were injured by Mo Fan. Anyone could see that the grudge the four had was on the verge of bursting out from their chests.
Even with the four of them teaming up, they had still suffered an utter defeat!
They had no chance of defeating Mo Fan themselves, yet they were scared to step on Advisor Feng Li's tail if they asked for help. They had no choice but to swallow the grudge into their stomachs, and wait until the World College Tournament finished!
Nanrong Ni and Mu Tingying felt they had totally lost face. Their clothes were ragged, and they were covered in dirt and filth. Every woman in the world cared a lot about their appearance. Mu Ningxue was supposed to be in their shoes instead!
------
”Mo Fan, are you out of your mind? You've injured four of my students. The tournament is about to begin. Are you trying to disqualify our team straight away?” Feng Li scolded Mo Fan.
”Why didn't you intervene when they were bullying Mu Ningxue?” Mo Fan snapped back in displeasure.
The advisors did not intervene even after something so serious happened. Were they seriously going to just stand and watch the Mu Clan take Mu Ningxue away and steal her cultivation?
No one knew better than Mo Fan how much effort Mu Ningxue had put into her cultivation. Taking away the hard work she had put in for the past ten years was no different than killing her!
Mo Fan had never felt this angry. If Feng Li had not shown up, he would seriously have turned the two vicious women into cripples!
Especially Nanrong Ni! Mo Fan had the urge to tear her face off, to see how ugly she would look under her fake, disgusting mask!
When Nanrong Ni was poisoned in the East Maritime Fortress, it was Mu Ningxue who risked her life to find the antidote for her. She should be grateful for the rest of her life that Mu Ningxue was her friend, yet she had set Mu Ningxue up in return instead! Mo Fan felt extremely angry on Mu Ningxue's behalf after learning how vicious the woman was!
”It was indeed their personal matter, you had no right to be involved in it. I have taken the blame for you this time. Don't stir up any trouble again, understood? You really are the most problematic member on the team, aren't you aware? Don't you know to control your temper a little better as a young man? If everyone simply goes ahead and does whatever they want, wouldn't everything be a total mess?” Feng Li cursed.
”The Mu Clan and Nanrong Clan are still going to trouble Mu Ningxue. Are you and the other good-for-nothing advisors going to help her or not?” Mo Fan demanded.
”Who did you just call good-for-nothing, you little asshole! Don't think you can act recklessly just because someone has your back! I will deal with the Mu Clan and Nanrong Clan myself, but you, just stop complicating things!” Feng Li was so angry that there was smoke coming out of his nose.
”Can you also tell them that if they dare to touch Mu Ningxue again, they will have to bring two coffins to keep their corpses? I swear I will kill them, even if I have to surrender myself to the Enforcement Union!” Mo Fan promised angrily.
