Hearing Mu Yu's words, a trace of guilt flashed through Tang Xiao's eyes.
The elders were first astonished, then enraged. None of them doubted Mu Yu, because she had no reason to frame Tang Hao.
"That Tang Hao! Wasn't it enough that he got us sealed off by Spirit Hall? Does he have to harm us again?!"
"Seventh Elder, calm down."
Although the Second Elder did not look pleased either, he still retained his rationality.
"We will handle this matter, and we will find Tang Hao as soon as possible."
Before the Second Elder had even finished speaking, Tang Xiao could not help defending Tang Hao.
"There must be some misunderstanding. Brother Hao would never do something like this..."
Before Mu Yu could speak, the Seventh Elder spoke up. "How is that impossible?! Hasn't he caused us enough misery already?!"
Mu Yu exchanged a glance with Gu Rong. Gu Rong interrupted the Seventh Elder before he could continue berating Tang Hao.
"Elders, what remains is Clear Sky Sect's family matter, so we will not interfere any further. We are not insisting that you capture Tang Hao. We only hope that Tang Hao will not harm my disciple again."
Ning Fengzhi also rose to his feet along with Gu Rong's words. "We will take our leave first."
After leaving Clear Sky Sect, Mu Yu bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and the others. She planned to return to Spirit Hall first, rest for a few days, and then head to Sunset Forest.
About three days later, Mu Yu returned to the familiar Spirit City. Even her mood improved considerably.
She wandered along the main road for a while before being drawn over by the sound of an argument.
Wasn't that Spirit Academy? Puzzled, Mu Yu walked over.
"Hmph, you little brat, you actually dared to provoke me!"
"It was clearly you!"
"You filthy commoner. I was brought here by two elders. Do you believe that with a single word from me, your whole family will be buried alongside you?"
"You!"
When Mu Yu arrived, she saw a somewhat familiar figure kicking a simply dressed student.
She frowned slightly. Bullying the weak? Thinking that having elders to protect her meant she could bully commoners? Mu Yu was not some righteous person, but she still found it unpleasant to watch and walked over.
At that moment, an attack shot toward the commoner girl. Mu Yu teleported in front of her and blocked the attack with a lift of her finger.
The girl opposite her looked displeased, but the moment she saw who stood before her, her expression immediately changed.
"Xiao Yu, it's you!" The girl feigned surprise and linked arms with Mu Yu. Before Mu Yu could react, she dragged her to her own side, then introduced her to the lackeys gathered around them.
"Let me tell you all, this is Mu Yu, the Second Miss of the Spirit Hall Empire!"
The little lackeys around them immediately chimed in.
"I've heard of her! I heard both misses of the Spirit Hall Empire are peerless geniuses!"
"A Min, you actually know the Second Miss!"
"A Min, you can walk sideways through Spirit City now."
While A Min was still feeling smug, Mu Yu pulled her arm free. A little green tea was still a little green tea. She had read plenty of novels in her previous life, and this sort of scene was the most common: the commoner girl used someone else's influence to become a vicious supporting character.
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"
A Min stared at Mu Yu pitifully.
Mu Yu merely walked straight over to the girl A Min had bullied and helped her up.
"Who allowed you to bully commoners?"
Mu Yu stared coldly at A Min. A Min looked somewhat guilty. "Xiao Yu, she provoked me first. Besides... she's just a commoner..."
"So what if she's a commoner? A Min, weren't you a commoner too?"
The little lackeys around them looked at A Min in confusion.
"Sister A Min, didn't you say you had a very good relationship with the Second Miss? Why is she defending that little bitch instead?"
"Sister A Min, didn't you say you were a noble?"
A Min looked embarrassed. She had not expected Mu Yu to expose her so directly.
She still wanted to explain herself, but Mu Yu beat her to it. "I don't want to see any of you bullying commoners again. And besides, if not for me, you would have been a commoner bullied by others for your entire life! Now you discriminate against commoners?"
With Mu Yu's words, the little lackeys around them finally learned that A Min's noble image had always been an act. They could not help revealing disdainful looks. They truly did look down on commoners, but they hated fake nobles like A Min even more.
Seeing the lackeys who had once fawned over her begin to despise her, A Min could not help feeling angry and unwilling.
Meanwhile, Mu Yu gently comforted the commoner girl.
Seeing that Mu Yu was about to leave, A Min immediately grabbed her, forcing a few tears from her eyes.
"Xiao Yu! Why did you humiliate me in front of them?!"
Mu Yu quickly stepped back. "I merely told the truth. If not for me, you would not even have had the chance to enjoy yourself here."
With that, she turned and left.
"Also, I will tell Elder Gui and the others to establish a school rule at Spirit Academy forbidding the bullying of commoners. From now on, aside from the monthly allowance, Spirit Hall will no longer provide you with any funds. You are no different from those commoners. You merely happened to meet me. Since you look down on commoners, then return to being one. I am already being merciful enough by not driving you out of Spirit City."
She no longer paid attention to A Min's impotent rage and headed toward Elder Hall.
At the entrance of Elder Hall, Yue Guan, who had been resting in a tree, froze upon seeing Mu Yu. He then quickly jumped down.
"Second Miss?" He bowed slightly. Gui Mei also appeared behind him. "Second Miss has returned."
Mu Yu nodded and roughly described what had happened at Spirit Academy.
"I'll have to trouble the two elders to handle this matter~"
Gui Mei nodded. "We truly have not paid much attention to the academy lately. I will handle what you mentioned when the time comes."
Mu Yu gave a soft acknowledgment. "Then goodbye, Elders."
After discussing the academy matter, Mu Yu returned to Worship Hall. These past two days had exhausted her to death. She needed to get some proper rest.
She unceremoniously pushed open the great doors of Worship Hall and ran straight into Qian Daoliu, who was resting in the seat of honor.
"Grandpa!"
Mu Yu threw herself into Qian Daoliu's arms.
"Xiao Yu is back?"
"Mm-hmm~"
"Xiao Yu, how have these past few years been on Sea God Island?"
Mu Yu gave an evil grin. "I've been praising you to Grandma Bo Saixi all this time!"
Qian Daoliu smiled. "And how did you praise me?"
Before you continue
