In the academy, everyone's gaze was focused on Fang Yuan.
These gazes contained shock, fear, mockery and coldness.
Fang Yuan turned a blind eye to these gazes. He looked at the academy elder, pointing at the unconscious guard on the ground, his expression solemn.
"Reporting to elder, these two guards had malicious intentions, they deserve to die! They forcefully broke in at the critical moment when I was about to break through to the middle stage. As everyone knows, a Gu Master's cultivation cannot be disturbed. Especially when breaking through to a higher realm. If one is careless, not only will the breakthrough fail, the aperture will also be damaged. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to step into the middle stage the moment they barged in. "
"But!" Without waiting for the others to react, Fang Yuan continued, "These two still refuse to admit the mistake they made earlier, actually boasting shamelessly about attacking me, and even insulting my clan's ancestor, falsely claiming that it was lord clan elder's idea to disturb this junior's cultivation. The student did not believe it, and resisted fiercely. These two were highly skilled, and I fought bravely, defeating them both. "
"But seeing that these two are the academy's guards, I didn't kill them. Only one had his arm cut off, and the other had his leg cut off. Although they lost a lot of blood, they did not die. This matter is like this, please uphold justice for me, elder! "Finishing, Fang Yuan cupped his fists towards the academy elder.
His tone was hurried, saying a lot, and the others did not have the right to interrupt.
After he finished, the surrounding people slowly reacted.
"What did Fang Yuan just say, I don't think I heard it clearly."
"I think he said he advanced to the middle stage!"
"How can it be, he's just a C grade talent trash, how could he be the first to advance to the middle stage?"
"He must be lying, he's afraid of the academy's punishment, so he lied!"
The students all began to discuss loudly.
Compared to Fang Yuan advancing to the middle stage, the life and death of the two guards were no longer important.
They were not surnamed Guyue, who would care about their life and death?
"You said that you have already advanced to Rank one middle stage?" The academy elder's voice was cold, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Fang Yuan, you can't say such things carelessly. If you admit your mistake now, I can still deal with you leniently because it's your first offense. However, if you continue to make mistakes and try to cover up with lies, then this old man will tell you right now that lies are easy to see through. "
Fang Yuan did not try to defend himself. He only chuckled and said to the academy elder, "Elder, please check."
Without needing him to say anything, the academy elder had already walked over.
He placed his hand on Fang Yuan's lower abdomen and diverted a bit of his attention into it. He immediately saw the scene of Fang Yuan's aperture.
Inside the aperture, there was no Gu.
The Spring Autumn Cicada had already hidden itself. A Rank six Gu's level was far higher than a Rank three academy elder's. If it wanted to hide, it would not be easily discovered.
As for the Liquor worm, Fang Yuan temporarily put it in the wine jar in the dormitory and did not carry it with him.
The academy elder closed his eyes and saw a bronze primordial sea, calm and undisturbed.
Every drop of primordial water was the pale green color of middle stage primordial essence.
Looking at the surrounding aperture walls, the white aperture walls were rippling with light, as if they were made up of water. Waves of water were flowing rapidly.
Water membrane!
"He really advanced to middle stage, how is this possible!?" The academy elder shouted in his heart, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. But he tried his best to hide it, his face as solemn as water.
After a moment, he digested this fact and slowly retracted his hand, saying in a low voice, "It is indeed middle stage."
The students had long held their breaths, quietly waiting for the result.
Once the academy elder said this, the entire academy seemed to explode.
The students were bewildered, each of their faces showing an expression of disbelief.
Fang Yuan was only a C grade, but he was the first to advance to middle stage. This was something that defied common sense!
When a Gu Master cultivated and broke through realms, the most important thing was talent. Are you kidding me, even a C grade could advance first? How could those A and B grade talents endure this!
"This!" Guyue Fangzheng's face turned pale. He was still full of confidence last night, but now the truth was in front of him. He could not take the impact and sat down.
Guyue Mobei clenched his fists. Guyue Fangzheng gritted his teeth.
The academy elder could not be fooled, so how did Fang Yuan do it?
At that moment, all the youths stared at Fang Yuan. They all had the same question in their hearts — with Fang Yuan's C grade talent, how did he advance so quickly?
The academy elder's heart was also filled with doubts.
Under such a huge doubt, he threw the idea of suppressing Fang Yuan to the back of his mind, and asked directly, "Fang Yuan, I hope you can explain, how did you advance to middle stage."
Fang Yuan smiled silently, "Heaven rewards the diligent. As a student, I studied hard and trained hard, accumulating over time, so success came naturally."
"Liar!"
"Tch, if Heaven rewards the diligent, I would have been number one long ago!"
"Studied hard and trained hard? Just a while ago, I saw him leisurely strolling around the shops. "
The students were obviously not satisfied with such an answer.
"Is that so?" The academy elder did not deny it. His eyes were cold as he stared at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's face was calm, and he stared back at the elder without fear.
He was bathed in blood, and his linen clothes were messy, as if he had just gone through an intense battle.
His eyes were as deep as a lake, revealing a kind of calmness, a kind of indifference, and even a hint of mockery.
Seeing such a pair of eyes, the academy elder's heart could not help but waver.
"This Fang Yuan is not afraid, not afraid, not scared, not shocked, how could I force him to reveal it? With his C grade talent, he was able to advance to middle stage first, there must be a secret. But since he does not want to reveal this secret, as the academy elder, I cannot force him to reveal it. Looks like I can only investigate in secret. "
Thinking of this, the academy elder could only retract his gaze, and his cold and stern face softened.
But Fang Yuan did not let it go, "This student is terrified. Sir elder, how are you going to deal with these two guards? These two have lost too much blood, and if they are not treated, they will die. "
"You are terrified?" The academy elder could not help but snort coldly in his heart. His eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Now that things had developed to this stage, as the person in charge of the academy, he had to step up and deal with it.
"But how should I deal with it?" The academy elder could not help but feel that it was a little tricky.
He could not help but ponder.
Fang Yuan took in the academy elder's change of expression. He laughed in his heart, the academy elder must be in a difficult position right now.
These two guards, were just servants with a different surname, and their lives were as cheap as grass. If it was under normal circumstances, it would be fine if they died, no one would care.
But the situation now was different, these two were personally sent out by the academy elder. If they really died, it would be a disgrace to the academy elder!
So these two guards would not die, and the academy elder would treat them.
What really troubled the academy elder was the way to deal with Fang Yuan.
In his original plan, Fang Yuan played truant first, and then killed the guards, going against his teacher and being arrogant. According to the clan rules, he would be locked up in the clan's prison, to reflect and admit his mistakes.
But these mistakes, when added to the fact that Fang Yuan had advanced to the middle stage, suddenly became different.
Fang Yuan, because of his cultivation, had no choice but to play truant and kill the guards. This was pardonable.
The key was that he had successfully advanced to the middle stage, becoming the first person in this batch. This was the right thing to do.
What did Fang Yuan rely on to advance to the middle stage, this secret could be put aside.
Winner takes all, everyone cared about the results. No one would criticize such an outstanding junior.
The academy elder could not punish him in any way.
What did the academy do? It was to nurture outstanding Gu Masters, to inject fresh blood into the clan.
With such an outstanding youth appearing, as the academy elder, it would be a dereliction of duty to suppress him!
Just like when a student achieved good results, as the teacher, he had to praise and encourage him, not punish or criticize him. A teacher who criticized and punished a student because of their outstanding results would never be acknowledged.
Maybe the other elders, because they were afraid of Fang Yuan's development prospects, or because of grudges, would suppress Fang Yuan in the dark. But only you, the academy elder, cannot!
Because you are in charge of the academy, you have to be fair and just, at least on the surface.
These are the rules!
"Are we just going to let him go like this? It was not easy to get a hold of his weakness. "The academy elder felt very unresigned. He knew in his heart that all the youths in the academy were outsiders.
Outsiders could only watch the show, unable to see the intricacies, unable to experience the excitement in the dark!
In fact, this was the first time he, the academy elder, and the scholar, Fang Yuan, exchanged blows!
First, he did not let go of the rules, wanting to punish Fang Yuan, and destroy his strong image in the hearts of the other youths.
Then, Fang Yuan brazenly counterattacked! His move seemed rash, but it hit the nail on the head. Using the excuse of advancing to the intermediate level, he immediately regained his footing.
As for the two unlucky guards, they were just pawns that were innocently implicated in the fight between the two, and were sacrificed.
"This Fang Yuan, he is too scheming! If he really killed the two guards, I could still use this reason to counterattack. Although his talent is not much, but his methods are so experienced and thorough, it is hard to imagine that this was done by a fifteen year old youth. But I can't even counterattack. No wonder in the early years, there were rumors of his early intelligence and poetry! "The academy elder suddenly realized that he had already lost.
His failure, was due to his identity, he was the academy elder in charge of the academy.
This was his strength, but it was also his weakness.
One point of strength, was one point of weakness.
Fang Yuan had long seen through this logic!
The academy elder felt helpless and annoyed.
He had once asked Fang Yuan to explain, but Fang Yuan's explanation was actually full of loopholes, and could not stand up to scrutiny.
These guards were all chosen by the academy elder, and their temperaments could not be so rash, and would not be so stupid as to insult the ancestors of Guyue.
Fang Yuan's words, were said on purpose. It was undisguised slander, and was framing and framing in front of an insider!
The academy elder was very clear on this point, but he was clear that he could not pursue this matter.
This was a trap.
Once he pursued this matter, and the truth was revealed, how would he deal with this matter?
If he did not punish Fang Yuan, the two guards would be wronged, and he, as the academy elder, would not be fair in handling matters. How would he be able to convince the masses in the future?
If he punished Fang Yuan, he would be suppressing the good, and being jealous of the talented! For the sake of two foreign servants, suppressing the younger generation of the clan, if this matter were to spread, it would cause the dissatisfaction of the clan.
So the best way to deal with this was to turn a blind eye, and treat these two guards as disposable. Then he would determine that these two had committed a grave mistake. At the same time, he would commend Fang Yuan.
This way, the clansmen would be satisfied, and the guards, who had been deceived, would also think that this was fair.
This way of dealing with it, was undoubtedly in the best interest of the academy elder.
Logic told the academy elder that this was the way to deal with it. But emotionally, the academy elder could not overcome this hurdle.
This Fang Yuan was too despicable!
This time, not only did the academy elder not suppress Fang Yuan's limelight, but he had become a stepping stone, stepped on by Fang Yuan, and lost face in front of everyone!
Fang Yuan did not respect him in the slightest, and dared to target him in front of everyone. This made him, the academy elder, feel a sense of shame and humiliation.
The key was, in the future, if these two guards felt wronged, and wanted to expose the truth, in order to protect his image and identity, the academy elder would have to be the first to jump out and suppress these two guards!
But this was all caused by Fang Yuan!
What kind of feeling was this?
To make an analogy, it was as if Fang Yuan had pooped on the academy elder's face, and the academy elder had to praise Fang Yuan, and at the same time clean up his mess. If there was an outsider who wanted to point it out, and say that the academy elder had pooped on his face, he would have to shut the outsider's mouth at the first possible moment.
This kind of grievance and humiliation, was almost unbearable for the academy elder.
There was a growing urge in his heart, to directly slap Fang Yuan a few times!
But in the end, the academy elder only reached out his hand, and lightly patted Fang Yuan's shoulder.
"So small." The academy elder's face was as dark as water, and he squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"It's all thanks to the academy's nurturing." Fang Yuan's tone was calm.
The academy elder's eyes twitched.
