Your Actions Are a Disgrace to Heavenly Firmament Academy

Qin Anlan hadn't neglected his cultivation.

Cultivation was like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back.

However, the path of cultivation required a balance between effort and rest.

Overtraining would only be counterproductive.

The process of taming Liu Ruyan was also proceeding in full swing.

A dual approach of reward and punishment, a combination of the stick and the carrot.

Liu Ruyan's initially defiant attitude had gradually given way to submission.

Even the way she looked at Qin Anlan had changed significantly.

Anger and hatred had long since been worn down through countless battles.

What replaced them was a subconscious surrender.

Qin Anlan was quite satisfied with his masterpiece.

He believed it wouldn't be long before Qin Anlan acquired a loyal concubine.

During this time, Qin Anlan also took a look at the newly constructed Bronze Sparrow Platform.

Qin Anlan had previously planned to establish the Bronze Sparrow Platform to recruit talented women from across the land.

It had to be said, the efficiency of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate was no mere boast.

The Bronze Sparrow Platform would likely be completed in less than half a month.

Once the Bronze Sparrow Platform was finished, Liu Ruyan could move in.

Liu Ruyan would also become the first concubine on the Bronze Sparrow Platform.

As for the second concubine, Qin Anlan had already chosen her.

This person was none other than Liu Ruyan's own sister, Liu Ruxue.

With an imperial decree from the Empress, Qin Anlan could legitimately go to Heavenly Firmament Academy and take Liu Ruxue as his concubine.

Heavenly Firmament Academy.

In the grand hall.

"Your Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate is going too far, forcibly trying to claim Heavenly Firmament Academy's outstanding students as your own."

"Liu Ruxue is an inner disciple of Heavenly Firmament Academy, with exceptional talent, an outstanding student of Heavenly Firmament Academy."

"On what grounds do you make her Qin Anlan's servant without her consent?"

"Don't you know that Qin Anlan destroyed the Liu Family, killed Liu Ruxue's parents, and abducted her sister? He is Liu Ruxue's mortal enemy."

"To curry favor with Qin Anlan, you sacrifice our Heavenly Firmament Academy's disciples. Your actions are a disgrace to the entire Heavenly Firmament Academy."

In the magnificent hall, a crowd of people stood, their voices a cacophony.

The young man with a clear complexion, yet a resilient and unyielding expression, clenched his fists and let out a roar of indignation.

This person was none other than our protagonist, Ye Qingyun, the top disciple of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

"Presumptuous! You are merely an inner disciple, what right do you have to point fingers here? You dare to talk back to the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis and the Dean? You must be tired of living."

An elder with restrained aura and terrifying presence, who had been angered to the point of his face turning ashen by this sudden scene, spoke out, intending to silence Ye Qingyun.

This was, after all, the grand hall of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Present were the Dean of Heavenly Firmament Academy, the Left Prime Minister of the court.

The Vice Dean of Heavenly Firmament Academy, the First Prince of the court.

The Young Lord of the Divine Marquis's Estate.

And a host of experts from Heavenly Firmament Academy and the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Ye Qingyun's sudden outburst, accusing their actions, was tantamount to slapping all the important figures in the face.

If it weren't for maintaining appearances and the unsuitable timing, he would have wanted to slap the ignorant Ye Qingyun to death with a single blow.

Ye Qingyun possessed exceptional talent and excellent aptitude, a rare talent for Heavenly Firmament Academy in a century.

As the top disciple of Heavenly Firmament Academy, Ye Qingyun not only had superior strength but was also second to none in terms of both intelligence and emotional quotient.

He was not only highly valued by many elders of Heavenly Firmament Academy but also deeply favored by the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister.

But now, look at the situation.

With one sentence, he had offended everyone.

Inside the hall, many inner disciples and true disciples pointed at Ye Qingyun, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

The way they looked at Ye Qingyun was as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Is Ye Qingyun crazy? Running all the way here to spout nonsense."

"Although Ye Qingyun is the senior disciple of the inner sect and the disciple of True Person Ziyun, no matter how arrogant he is, he should know when to stop."

Someone immediately jumped out and sneered.

"This is an imperial edict from the Empress, ordering that Liu Ruxue be bestowed upon the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis. Ye Qingyun dares to oppose it and even slander Heavenly Firmament Academy and its Dean; he is simply asking for death."

"He doesn't want to live himself, and he wants to drag us down with him. He's a complete troublemaker."

It's just that the Child of Destiny comes with an aura of mockery.

His usual behavior is too ostentatious and overbearing, attracting countless eyes.

It made many female disciples of Heavenly Firmament Academy develop good feelings towards Ye Qingyun.

With the support of the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince, Ye Qingyun had long become a hot commodity at Heavenly Firmament Academy, enjoying immense prestige.

The other disciples of Heavenly Firmament Academy were angry at Ye Qingyun but dared not speak.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Qingyun to make a mistake.

And now.

They finally waited until Ye Qingyun stepped forward, defied the Dean and the First Prince, and even dared to openly disobey the Empress's imperial edict.

Kicking a dog while it's down.

They didn't mind using this opportunity to trample on Ye Qingyun.

The other elders also had considerable dissatisfaction with Ye Qingyun.

You, a mere inner sect disciple, even if deeply trusted by the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince, could have done many things.

But you had to confront the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis at this time.

And you even dared to openly defy the Empress's will.

You've had enough attention, boy, you've caught everyone's eye.

But the mess you've made, everyone at Heavenly Firmament Academy has to pay for it.

Inciting public anger.

Ye Qingyun's actions had already incited public anger.

"Your name is Ye Qingyun, and you are the senior disciple of the inner sect of our Heavenly Firmament Academy."

"When I first saw your exceptional talent, I was quite appreciative, and I even guided you beyond the usual regulations."

"I originally thought your future achievements would be limitless."

"But I never expected... I never expected it!"

Just then, an elder with white hair and a refined aura, seated at the head of the grand hall, spoke.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of disappointment on his face.

The elder's aura was like an abyss, unfathomable.

His eyes held a captivating power that made one afraid to look directly at him.

His entire being exuded an aura of natural authority.

Clearly.

The elder was an ultimate expert.

This person was none other than the Dean of Heavenly Firmament Academy, who was also the Left Prime Minister of the current court.

As soon as the Left Prime Minister spoke, the entire hall fell into silence.

Everyone stopped talking, not daring to utter another word.

Buzz!

Ye Qingyun felt a vast pressure sweep over him, engulfing everything.

Under the oppression of that powerful aura, cold sweat dripped uncontrollably from his forehead.

His entire body trembled uncontrollably.

However.

At this moment, under the gaze of countless eyes, he absolutely could not show any sign of weakness.

Furthermore, Ye Qingyun had his own trump cards when he dared to step forward.
