How dare he refuse!
Countless eyes fell on Ye Futian. Not long ago, Yu Sheng and Ye Futian had defeated the strong cultivators of Heiyan Academy and won back the reputation of Qingzhou Academy. Coupled with their amazing talent, everyone already knew that the so-called ban would be useless. The two of them would definitely win the favor of the important figures of Qingzhou Academy.
Just as everyone had predicted, several Headmasters had invited the two of them, and the farce seemed to have come to an end.
However, they had guessed the beginning, but not the ending. They had clearly underestimated Ye Futian's stubbornness and pride.
If Ye Futian was still the same old Ye Futian, no one would care about him. However, he had defeated a Mandate Sorcerer of the same plane and awakened top-level spell scrolls. Of course he had the right to be proud.
Therefore, even the important figures of Qingzhou Academy fell into a state of silence.
The outer sect disciples of Qingzhou Academy, other than the outer sect lecturers who imparted knowledge about cultivation, most of the time, the outer sect disciples of Qingzhou Academy cultivated on their own. Even in the library, they were only allowed to enter the first floor. They did not have access to much of the academy's resources. The battle just now was about the honor of Qingzhou Academy. Therefore, when Ye Futian said that he had repaid the academy for three years of cultivation, no one could blame him for that.
It seemed that he and Yu Sheng had fought side by side not just because of what Hua Jieyu had said, but because he had already planned all of this in his heart …
Thinking about this, the important figures of Qingzhou Academy were even more speechless. The young man had cultivated at Qingzhou Academy for three years, but no one had truly realized how outstanding he was.
"Yu Sheng ranked first in the last Fall Quarter Examinations. Similarly, you will also rank third in the First-Class Roll. This will be recorded in the records of all the Fall Quarter Examinations," Leng Qingfeng said to the stubborn figure in front of him. In the crowd, Murong Qiu's face was dark and gloomy. Two months ago, the results of the Fall Quarter Examinations were announced on the spot. He had ranked first in the First-Class Roll. Now, Qingzhou Academy had made history by changing the results of the Fall Quarter Examinations and taking him down. This would definitely cause a sensation. If word got out, what would Murong Qiu be? A laughing stock.
The students of Qingzhou Academy were speechless. They could not help but look at Murong Qiu. Indeed, he had no right to be first in the Fall Quarter Examinations. He did not even have the courage to fight against Heiyan Academy. Yu Sheng, on the other hand, had crushed all his opponents.
"I object." Shi Zhong said coldly. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "The results of the Fall Quarter Examinations have already been announced. How can we change them just like that? Even though Ye Futian's performance today was outstanding, it is also a fact that he disrespected his elders and disobeyed the rules. Considering that he fought for Qingzhou Academy today, we can consider revoking his punishment. However, if he uses this battle to threaten the academy, it doesn't matter how talented he is."
"Threaten the academy?" Ye Futian stared at Shi Zhong. It seemed that the person who placed Murong Qiu first in the Fall Quarter Exam and pushed Yu Sheng over the top was none other than Shi Zhong, the Earth Elemental Pavilion Lord.
As for the Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Leng Qingfeng, he had always been friendly to him, so it was unlikely that he was involved in this matter.
Looking at Shi Zhong, Ye Futian suddenly laughed and said, "I am just an outer sect disciple. How can I threaten Qingzhou Academy? But I would like to ask you, Headmaster Shi. How did I offend you?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Zhong asked coldly.
"In the Fall Quarter Examinations, Yu Sheng was obviously better than Murong Qiu in terms of both talent and strength. Today's battle is the best proof of that. When Palace Lord Shi placed Murong Qiu first, I was not happy with it. Even if Palace Lord Shi thought I disobeyed the rules and disobeyed you, I was kicked off the List of First-Class and was banned from doing so. Today, Yu Sheng and I are fighting for Qingzhou Academy, and Palace Lord Shi only said that he could revoke my punishment. Is the honor of Qingzhou Academy really that insignificant to Palace Lord Shi?"
Ye Futian looked at Shi Zhong and said slowly, "Or should I say, how did I offend you to make you hate me so much? And just how talented is Murong Qiu for you to place him first in the Fall Quarter Exam and even ban me because of him?"
"How dare you!" Shi Zhong shouted angrily. He looked at Ye Futian coldly and said, "Nonsense. Is this how you talk to your elders? Such a rebellious disciple, even if you raise him to be a strong cultivator, he will only be a disaster in the future."
"Rebellious!" The surrounding students of Qingzhou Academy felt a chill run down their spines. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the ranking of the Fall Quarter Examinations was not as simple as it seemed. Shi Zhong's words were sharp, and it was obvious that he wanted Ye Futian to leave.
Ye Futian had also said that Shi Zhong had banned him because of Murong Qiu's influence. Thinking about this, the disciples of Qingzhou Academy felt a chill run down their spines.
"Shi Zhong, that's enough." The Pavilion Lord of the Thunder Pavilion couldn't stand it any longer and said coldly. The seven Pavilion Lords of the School of Divination Arts were friends with each other. Even though they knew about the unspoken rules, it was inevitable. As long as it didn't affect the interests of Qingzhou Academy, they would turn a blind eye to it.
However, no one could have predicted that the two youths who were treated unfairly during the Fall Quarter Exam would be so talented, stubborn, and proud.
"Ye Futian, you have contributed greatly to the academy today. Qingzhou Academy will not mistreat you. I'm sure that one of the headmasters will accept you two as his disciples. Cultivate well in the academy, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Don't be so stubborn about other things," Li Jiang, the Wind Pavilion Headmaster, said as if he was trying to persuade Ye Futian.
However, Ye Futian's face broke into a self-deprecating smile. It seemed that he was indeed too young and too confident in himself. Even if he had displayed outstanding talent and fought for Qingzhou Academy, it would not have changed anything. At most, he would have entered the inner sect and been taken in as a disciple by someone important.
But was that enough?
Li Jiang, the Wind Pavilion Headmaster, told Ye Futian not to be too stubborn about other things. It was obvious that he wanted Ye Futian to quit while he was ahead. It seemed that he had the same idea as Shi Zhong. He thought that Ye Futian was only threatening the academy and would not really leave. After all, Qingzhou Academy was the holy land for cultivation in the City of Qingzhou.
But was he really going to let the Fall Quarter Examinations go just like that?
Was there no explanation for the punishment and ban that Qingzhou Academy had imposed on him?
As for the things that happened behind the scenes, it seemed that they would not be allowed to dig them out.
Perhaps he was too naive. After all, he was still too young.
However, there was at least one good thing about being young. He had the right to be willful.
Thinking about this, Ye Futian smiled and bowed slightly to the important figures of Qingzhou Academy. Countless eyes fell on him, wondering what Ye Futian's intentions were.
"I will remember the three years of teaching at Qingzhou Academy. Goodbye," Ye Futian said with a smile. Then, he called out, "Yu Sheng."
"Yes," Yu Sheng responded. He stared coldly at the important figures. He was obviously very unhappy.
"Let's go." Ye Futian turned around and walked away, one step at a time. Yu Sheng looked away and followed closely behind Ye Futian.
At this moment, the backs of the two youths looked so lonely, but their steps were so firm. It was as if one could feel the pride in their hearts.
They really left!
The important figures of Qingzhou Academy were also stunned. Obviously, they did not expect Ye Futian to be so serious.
The Head of the Battle Tower, the Cabinet Head of the House of Swordsmen, and several Palace Lords stared coldly at Shi Zhong. Their expressions were extremely ugly. This made Shi Zhong's expression even more gloomy. He said coldly, "Wait."
Ye Futian stopped and turned to look at Shi Zhong. "Is there anything else, Palace Lord Shi?"
"What do you think Qingzhou Academy is? You come and go as you please?" Shi Zhong said coldly. Ye Futian could not help but narrow his eyes a little. "Palace Lord Shi, what do you mean?"
"You are rebellious by nature and have a grudge against Qingzhou Academy. Now that you have betrayed Qingzhou Academy, are you going to listen to the strong cultivators of Heiyan Academy and follow them to fight against Qingzhou Academy in the future?"
As Shi Zhong's voice fell, the air seemed to become colder. Everyone felt a chill. Ye Futian could also feel the coldness in Shi Zhong's words. Was he trying to kill him with these words?
Heiyan Academy was Qingzhou Academy's mortal enemy. If Shi Zhong put this label on Ye Futian, and if the other important figures of Qingzhou Academy agreed with him, what awaited Ye Futian would be a terrible ending.
"Palace Lord, Ye Futian has already rejected Heiyan Academy. How could he follow them?" Qin Yi looked worried. Ye Futian had surprised her today, but he was also stubborn to the point that she was speechless. However, Shi Zhong's words were too scary. She had to stand up and say something.
"Of course he would not dare to join the enemy while he is still in the academy. But what about after he leaves?" Shi Zhong said coldly. Leng Qingfeng looked at him coldly. Shi Zhong was forcing Ye Futian into a dead end. Even if Ye Futian did not have such intentions, what Shi Zhong said would still lead to terrible consequences.
"What do you want?" Yu Sheng stared at Shi Zhong coldly. His body released a faint wild aura.
"Everything you have learned in the past three years," Shi Zhong said coldly. The entire place was dead silent.
They seemed to be stunned by Shi Zhong's words and did not make a sound for a while. After a long time, the sound of light footsteps was heard. The crowd saw a flawless figure walking on the snowflakes, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. It was Hua Jieyu.
Hua Jieyu walked to Ye Futian's side and glared at him. Ye Futian was dazed. This fox was really seductive.
Then, Hua Jieyu slowly turned her beautiful eyes to look at Shi Zhong. She smiled and said, "You better take back what you just said."
Hua Jieyu's calm voice seemed to have a magical power. Many people's hearts trembled. Was she threatening the Pavilion Lord of the Earth Elemental Pavilion?
Previously, the young man was furious for the sake of a beautiful woman and showed off his talent.
Now, the fairy-like girl walked out from the crowd. It was as if she was guarding something.
At this moment, countless people were envious and jealous.
When the two figures stood side by side in the snow, it was as if the holy land of Qingzhou Academy was overshadowed!
