Qin Yi's attitude caught everyone's attention.
At this moment, everyone held their breaths as they looked forward to hearing Qin Yi's outcome.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Yi's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Xu Yan and said, "Although you were bewitched by the Divine King's clone, which is why you did such a thing. However, if I don't punish you, not only will I be letting myself down, but I'll also be letting you down. Don't you think so? "
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
They were all too familiar with this kind of speech routine.
First, they would pretend to be helpless and think that they weren't bad at heart.
Usually, this kind of speech was used by people in power to shirk their responsibilities and make others think that they were innocent and helpless before saying words of punishment.
The people present were considered veterans who had been in the academy for many years. No one knew this better than them.
Most importantly, once such words were said, the punishment would be very severe, so severe that it was hard for people to accept it.
They were very clear about this routine. In fact, they would often say this to others before this.
They knew very well what the person who said this was thinking. Usually, when someone said this, it meant that they hated the person they were about to punish.
Only by saying such words could people feel disgusted and sad.
Therefore, when Qin Yi said this, they all felt that Qin Yi hated Xu Yan to the extreme. Next, he would say some extremely severe punishment to make Xu Yan feel great pain.
Of course, Xu Yan also knew this routine.
Therefore, when he heard Qin Yi's words, his face had already turned a little pale.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that he could safely get through this.
After all, he was indeed still young and had unlimited possibilities in the future.
Although he had indeed made a mistake this time, he also wanted a chance to correct it.
He never felt that he was a useless loser. He felt that as long as he worked hard, he should be able to make himself stronger.
For a person who felt that he had unlimited possibilities, how could he be willing to be beaten to death at this time and never be able to make a comeback?
Evidently, if he were to suffer a serious injury this time around, he might never be able to raise his head again in this lifetime.
It was very likely that his path in the Martial Dao would be completely severed, and it might even be impossible for him to survive.
Although the God King was vicious, his point of view was not wrong.
There was no one in this world who was not afraid of death, especially geniuses. They would cherish their own lives even more.
Xu Yan was afraid of death. He had no idea that his actions today would bring about such a serious consequence.
But now, since it had already happened, there was nothing he could say.
After all, no matter what, he felt that he should accept any punishment with dignity.
This was what his master had taught him since he was young. He had to admit his mistakes, and he had to stand firm when he was beaten!
Even at that moment, his master had said the same thing!
Since he was the one who had made a mistake, he should bear the consequences. Even though the consequences might be very serious, he should still stand upright and accept any punishment.
Therefore, even though he had a bad premonition, he did not say a word to ask for forgiveness from Qin Yi so that Qin Yi would deal with him leniently.
Qin Yi nodded inwardly when he saw Xu Yan's reaction.
To be honest, when he had said those words earlier, he had indeed not meant anything else. He had merely been expressing his point of view.
However, after saying it, he realized that everyone's expression seemed a little off. At that moment, he knew that he had probably said something that would cause a misunderstanding.
However, he did not try to explain anything.
After all, there was nothing to explain in a situation like this.
In any case, when he announced his decision later, everyone would know exactly what he meant.
Of course, the most important thing was that he also wanted to see how Xu Yan would react after knowing that he might be in trouble through such a misunderstanding.
Perhaps from this, he could see some clues and see if Xu Yan was a person worthy of his forgiveness.
To be honest, he did not have much opinion on a person like Xu Yan. Therefore, whether it was forgiving the other party like this or punishing the other party heavily, it made no difference to Qin Yi.
However, Xu Yan was considered the future pillar of the academy. If he performed well now, Qin Yi could see some clues about the future of Yin-Yang Academy.
What surprised him was that even though Xu Yan knew that he might be in trouble because of this, his emotions did not fluctuate too much.
Although there was a regretful expression on his face, it could be seen that he was calm and looked like he was taking responsibility!
It could be seen that his master, the white-bearded old man, had been disciplining him quite well. At the very least, this fellow could be considered an upright man now.
Looking at him like this, the smile on Qin Yi's face deepened.
Then, he said, "The punishment I'm giving you is that from today onwards, you must put away your anxious emotions and control them well. Don't let them explode again. In addition, I request that you become a strong person in the academy in the future. Although I don't ask you to be the strongest, you must at least be one of the strongest! "
As soon as this was said, everyone present was stunned!
This … This was a punishment?
This was obviously just some wishes. At most, it could only be considered as a request, right?
Originally, they thought that after saying those words, Qin Yi would punish Xu Yan properly. However, they did not expect that in the end, Qin Yi would only say such words. This could not be considered a punishment at all, right?
It seemed that from the beginning until now, they had misunderstood Qin Yi!
They had also underestimated Qin Yi's magnanimity. To be able to do this, for a young man who was in his competitive age, it was really not easy!
However, at the same time, they seemed to have felt that there was a reason why Qin Yi had become so strong!
