As everyone pointed their fingers at him, the face of the person in the middle suddenly turned pale.
Qin Yi had some impression of this person. It could even be said that out of everyone present, he was the one who remembered this person the most clearly.
He was none other than the disciple of the white-bearded old man who had arrived first. He was also the first person to put on an aggrieved look in an attempt to gain sympathy.
Qin Yi had not expected this guy to be the one who had incited everyone's emotions.
When this guy's master had arrived, the way he had acted was completely weak, giving people the impression that he was a victim through and through.
To be honest, even Qin Yi had not expected this guy to be the culprit in the beginning. Hence, he did not even look at him suspiciously.
If he was the one who had organized this chaos and incited everyone's emotions throughout the entire process, then one must admit that this guy's acting skills were indeed top-notch. Even Qin Yi had almost been fooled by him.
"Impossible!"
At that moment, a voice of disbelief was heard from the crowd. The one who had spoken was none other than the white-bearded old man.
"I've watched Yan 'er grow up. He has always been rather gentle. There's no way he could have organized something so extreme!"
The white-bearded old man was clearly very emotional. He could not believe this at all.
From his expression, it could be seen that he was not lying.
This guy named Xu Yan was his disciple and an orphan at the same time. Before he had even joined the sect, his days could be said to have been wandering from place to place.
Because he did not have any cultivation base, it was inevitable that he would receive unfair treatment in the world of cultivators.
Because of this, his days could be said to have been rather miserable in the beginning.
As the saying goes, those who had suffered would always be more mature and sensible. Ever since the white-bearded old man had found him and brought him back to the Yin-Yang Academy, he had always displayed a very obedient image.
Not only did he work very hard in his cultivation, but he would also remember every word his master said, not daring to disobey it in the slightest.
In addition to that, after his cultivation, his shocking talent had been fully displayed. Towards the end, he had become a very famous genius in the sect.
It was precisely because of this that the white-bearded old man regarded Xu Yan as his disciple rather highly, to the extent that he could not even bear to beat or scold her.
The white-bearded old man was furious when he heard that his disciple had gone to Qin Yi's residence to cause trouble and was captured by Qin Yi.
He felt that with his disciple's personality, he would never do anything overboard.
For Qin Yi to do this, he must be bullying the weak!
Therefore, the moment he heard the news, he rushed here angrily to demand an explanation from Qin Yi.
From this, it could be seen how much he liked this disciple of his.
However, he didn't expect that the one who organized this rebellion was actually his precious disciple who was usually taciturn and sensible.
How could he believe it? How could he dare to believe it?
Although he didn't know what Qin Yi's motive was, he was sure that if Xu Yan were to be identified as the main culprit of this matter, she would not have a good ending in the end.
After all, Qin Yi and the others had already escalated the nature of this matter to a level that could endanger the safety of the academy.
With such a serious attitude, if Xu Yan were to be identified as the main culprit, there was a high chance that she would not be able to return.
Therefore, the current him had to defend his precious disciple with all his might and believe in his disciple!
"Palace Master Lou, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter!"
The white-bearded old man looked at Lou Yangbing and said anxiously, "I'm willing to use my head …"
Before he could say the word "guarantee", he was interrupted by Qin Yi.
"Don't speak too soon!"
Qin Yi said indifferently, "I can understand that you dote on your disciple, but there must be an inside story in this matter that you're not aware of. Therefore, I hope you can calm down and don't say such things that you'll regret. "
His words seemed like a warning, but they were actually a reminder.
If the matter was proven to be Xu Yan's doing, then should he take the white-bearded old man's head or not?
Moreover, the current situation was actually very clear.
As a master, he wanted to protect his disciple, so there was nothing much he could say about putting in a good word for his disciple. Even if his disciple had really done something wrong, they should naturally work together in front of so many people, shouldn't they?
However, being protective was one thing. If he continued to say some extreme words now, then he would not be shielding his disciple, but getting into trouble.
Qin Yi was naturally doing this out of good intentions.
In fact, from the previous interaction, he realized that although the white-bearded old man was the first to find trouble with him, he did not have a bad heart. One could even say that he was a rather righteous person.
Moreover, the white-bearded old man was also very smart. After knowing that he was no match for Qin Yi, he immediately stopped.
Obviously, he was a reasonable person who knew when to advance and when to retreat.
If such a person were to stay in the academy, it would naturally be beneficial for the academy's future development.
Moreover, it could be seen that he was slightly younger than the elders present at the scene, so he should be able to handle the academy's internal affairs.
If such an elder, who was beneficial to the academy, suddenly met with such a disaster, Qin Yi did not wish to see it, nor could he bear to see it.
After hearing Qin Yi's advice, the white-bearded old man shut his mouth in time.
He clearly knew that although Qin Yi was a little forceful, what he said this time was indeed for his own good.
Of course, he did not think that Qin Yi was deliberately targeting his disciple.
After all, he had stood at the scene and watched the entire process.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Yi did not give any guidance. Apart from asking the disciples present to identify the culprit, he did not say anything else.
Moreover, if someone really wanted to frame Xu Yan, then it was impossible for everyone present to think of the same target without prior consultation.
For a matter like this, the possibility of it being discussed beforehand was negligible.
Therefore, now, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had to slowly accept this seemingly unbelievable fact!
