Could Chu Ye Suppress the Evil Fire? (2.5K)

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched. This brat really had no regard for heaven or earth.

Yan Shaozhe said sternly, "I'm not that kind of person!"

Chu Ye curled his lip and said,

"Then I'll take Spirit Ascension Pills. Three of them."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief. Spirit Ascension Pills were precious, but he did have some.

Then he realized that he happened to have exactly three in his Space Soul Tool.

How had Chu Ye gotten the number so precisely?

"How did you know I had three Spirit Ascension Pills?"

The others were astonished too. Was Senior Chu Ye a roundworm in the dean's belly? Was he really that amazing?

Chu Ye said, "It's a secret."

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened as he said,

"I've given you the three Spirit Ascension Pills. Hand Xiaotao over to me."

He then tossed three jade bottles to Chu Ye.

Chu Ye put them away, then tugged at Ma Xiaotao's cheek.

"Hey, Ma Xiaotao, wake up. Stop taking advantage of me."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe felt his temples throb.

Ma Xiaotao's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Chu Ye's handsome face was right in front of her.

She stared at the young man looking down at her, momentarily stunned.

"Chu Ye?"

Ma Xiaotao's face quickly flushed red as fragments of her memories from when her Evil Fire had run wild resurfaced.

She had charged toward the outer court like a Ferocious Beast out of control, only for Chu Ye to subdue her with one hand. She had even slumped toward him and leaned against him for quite a while.

When had the hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao ever experienced anything like that?

Both embarrassed and angry, Ma Xiaotao instinctively got up from beside Chu Ye.

"Why is it you, Chu Ye?"

She tried to mask her inner turmoil with a fierce tone.

Chu Ye raised an eyebrow.

"I saved you, and you're still acting unhappy. What, then? I should have just thrown you into Sea God Lake. And get this straight: you were the one taking advantage of me."

Ma Xiaotao grew even angrier. She glared fiercely at Chu Ye and said,

"What do you mean, I took advantage of you?"

"We never settled the winner in our match in the inner court. Now I want another round with you."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly said,

"Xiaotao, whatever else you say, Chu Ye just saved you. Besides, if he hadn't been here, Bei Bei and the others might have suffered for it too. You mustn't be so willful anymore."

Ma Xiaotao's body trembled slightly at his words.

She had a violent temper, but she wasn't an Evil Soul Master. If she had really lost control and injured a few outer court students, she would undoubtedly have borne the greatest responsibility.

Thinking of this, she looked at Bei Bei and the others and said through gritted teeth,

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I almost got you hurt."

Bei Bei was stunned. He hadn't expected the proud Senior Ma Xiaotao to apologize to them like that.

The others didn't think much of it, though. After all, Chu Ye had stood in front of them.

They had felt completely safe.

Finally, Ma Xiaotao turned toward Chu Ye. Clutching the hem of her red skirt, she looked utterly awkward and didn't dare meet his eyes as she said, "And Chu Ye, thank you for saving me just now."

Chu Ye said, "Too quiet. I can't hear you. Is that any way to thank someone?"

Ma Xiaotao was instantly on the verge of overheating again.

She wanted to say more, but Chu Ye waved a hand.

"Forget it. Your master already paid me, so we're even."

Ma Xiaotao asked, "What reward did Master give you?"

Chu Ye said,

"Just a few worthless pills."

He then tossed the three bottles to Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao.

"Each of these three bottles contains one Spirit Ascension Pill."

"A Spirit Ascension Pill can roughly provide one level of Soul Power around level thirty. It should be just right for you at your current level."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened. These were Spirit Ascension Pills, not ordinary pills.

Her teacher had actually given away three of them.

Hearing Chu Ye's explanation and seeing Ma Xiaotao and the others' reactions,

Huo Yuhao realized the pills were extremely precious.

He looked at Chu Ye and said, "Senior Chu Ye, we didn't do anything."

Chu Ye replied casually,

"Just take them."

"I ate a good fruit from Mu En a few days ago. I don't think much of these pills."

"Your Dean Yan is too poor. Otherwise, I'd have tried to get something better."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's face filled with black lines.

Those three Spirit Ascension Pills were already worth a great deal, yet the brat had casually given them to three outer court disciples.

What was he supposed to say?

Should he say that Chu Ye was doing his job as a teaching assistant, or that he simply didn't think much of the Spirit Ascension Pills?

Seeing that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also wanted to refuse,

Chu Ye said,

"If you keep refusing, you're looking down on me."

"These past two days, I've led you to challenge the other classes, even the second years. I like your fighting spirit, so this is your reward."

Chu Ye naturally had his own calculations.

Over the past few days, the outer court's first and second years had been turned upside down, and the fate of the entire outer court had been thrown into chaos. Chu Ye had gained quite a few Fate Points on his system panel.

Wang Dong in particular had originally been meant to serve as a dog leash in God King Tang's plan, keeping Huo Yuhao restrained.

But now she was developing in an entirely different direction, becoming independent and strong.

That had earned Chu Ye even more Fate Points.

Besides, the Spirit Ascension Pills were of no use to him, so using them to win some goodwill wasn't bad either.

Compared to Fate Points, what the hell were three Spirit Ascension Pills worth?

Huo Yuhao's eyes reddened, and he said loudly,

"Thank you, Senior Chu Ye."

In his heart, he had only one word for Senior Chu Ye: loyalty.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were also full of emotion.

After all, she had gained a great deal and learned many techniques during this time.

And this time, Wang Dong had no objection at all to Chu Ye showing off. If possible, he could show off a few more times.

After all, this was a Spirit Ascension Pill.

Chu Ye looked at Ma Xiaotao and said,

"These three pills are also compensation for their emotional distress."

"Speaking of which, Ma Xiaotao, shouldn't you hurry up and thank me?"

Ma Xiaotao snorted and said,

"Fine, thank you."

"But once I'm back at full strength, I'll definitely fight you! I didn't go all out this time. Chu Ye, don't get too smug!"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's dead-duck stubbornness, Chu Ye said,

"Wait until you've dealt with the Evil Fire in your body."

"In a month, I'll be representing Shrek at the Spirit Pagoda. If you can't deal with your Evil Fire, you won't even be qualified to go with the group."

"After all, the various factions at the Spirit Pagoda and the Ferocious Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest will all be gathering there. If you can't control yourself, you'll only cause trouble for the academy. Don't make me wipe your backside for you again."

Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and said,

"Why wouldn't I be able to? I'll definitely suppress the Evil Fire."

As soon as Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the Evil Fire in her body seemed a little quieter than before.

Sensing the change, she was instantly bewildered. What was going on?

Chu Ye was the only one who had laid a hand on her just now.

She stared fixedly at Chu Ye and asked urgently,

"Chu Ye, what did you do to me just now? Why does the Evil Fire in my body feel like it's been suppressed?"

She had moved several steps away from Chu Ye, but now she hurried toward him again, even grabbing his sleeve.

Seeing this, Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and the others were stunned.

Senior Ma Xiaotao had just been snapping at Senior Chu Ye, so why was she suddenly so close to him?

Yan Shaozhe's body jolted. Chu Ye could actually suppress the Evil Fire?

Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire had troubled him for who knew how many years, yet the answer had been in the outer court all along, with that troublemaker Chu Ye. How had he never noticed?

At the thought, Yan Shaozhe bitterly reproached himself, then grew even more excited.

He looked at Chu Ye and said, "Chu Ye, if you can solve Xiaotao's Evil Fire problem, never mind Spirit Ascension Pills—I can get you even more precious pills."

Yan Shaozhe's heart even ached a little as he said it, but for his disciple's sake, he was ready to go all out.

That brat Chu Ye certainly wouldn't agree unless Yan Shaozhe paid through the nose.

He couldn't help wondering, Could the brat have already foreseen this, and that's why he was so confident just now?

Yan Shaozhe thought, If that's the case, then this brat isn't just a troublemaker like everyone thinks.
