That torrent of scolding left Xu Sanshi standing there in a daze.
Watching Jiang Nannan cry, Xu Sanshi finally realized that he had truly done something wrong. In that moment, anger had completely clouded his mind.
Not only had his furious roaring failed to save face, but it had also dragged Jiang Nannan into being cursed at alongside him.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
Xu Sanshi looked helplessly at Jiang Nannan. He did not say a word, yet he had said everything.
With red-rimmed eyes, Jiang Nannan snapped, "Xu Sanshi, don't ever appear in my sight again. I hate you, you jerk..."
After saying that, Jiang Nannan wiped away her tears and left with her classmates without looking back.
Xu Sanshi stood frozen in place, feeling as though he had suffered ten thousand critical blows. He lowered his head, not daring to keep watching Jiang Nannan's retreating figure.
Nannan, I was wrong again.
Every word she said stabbed into his heart like a thorn.
Huo Yuhao and the others watched Xu Sanshi and could not help wanting to laugh.
Huo Yuhao was even a little pleased inside.
This guy had finally gotten what was coming to him.
Wang Dong chuckled and turned around with a smile. "Xu Sanshi totally deserved it. That guy was begging to be cursed at. Every girl hates him, and getting taught a lesson was his own fault. Yuhao, we're not sympathizing with him."
Beibei shook his head helplessly and walked up to Xu Sanshi to comfort him. "Sanshi! I honestly don't know how to judge you. Why did you have to provoke that madman Qian Chaoyun?"
"Get lost!" Xu Sanshi was holding back his anger. He shoved his good brother Beibei away and walked alone down the Academy road.
His back looked lonely, like that of a helpless child.
Not far away, Qian Chaoyun merely glanced over casually before turning and leaving.
He had not returned to the Inner Court in a long time, and he planned to go back and rest for a while.
As for these matters in the Outer Court, Qian Chaoyun truly had no interest in them.
That night.
Sea God Pavilion, Inner Court.
Before long, the major incident that had erupted in the Outer Court reached the ears of the Resident Elders of Sea God Pavilion, causing quite a stir in the Inner Court.
The Inner Court Students were all stunned.
In just a year and a half, Qian Chaoyun had become like this. He was so righteous that he seemed almost evil.
At the same time, Mu En convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting, gathering the Resident Elders to discuss a punishment.
Because of Qian Chaoyun's special circumstances, this meeting specifically called in Xuan Zi, who had been lying somewhere and sleeping while slacking off. He was also Qian Chaoyun's Old Esteemed Teacher.
At the conference table, Mu En kept his eyes closed as he spoke. "State your opinions. We will decide on the final punishment. This matter has caused quite a commotion; the entire Outer Court knows about it."
"Xuan Zi, Qian Chaoyun is your disciple. Do you have nothing to say?"
Xuan Zi ate a chicken drumstick and pondered seriously before saying, "Mu En, Old Man thinks Chaoyun did nothing wrong. Where did he go wrong? Not only was he not wrong, I think the Academy should reward him."
"Think about it. Xu Sanshi overturned a stall and bullied a new student. Chaoyun drew his sword in anger. That is the spirit of youth, that is true chivalry."
"At the Soul Fighting Arena, Xu Sanshi was simply inferior in skill. A four rings Soul Ancestor could not defeat Qian Chaoyun, who only used a sword without even activating his Martial Soul. Old Man thinks Xu Sanshi has been slacking in cultivation and must be assigned some missions. Otherwise, he is always chasing after Jiang Nannan and violating the Academy's rules."
The moment those words came out, Mu En opened his eyes.
That was true!
Xuan Zi's words were not without reason, but Qian Chaoyun's personality seemed to be growing more and more extreme.
When they had first met, he had been such a well-behaved child. Now, at fourteen and a half, he had become an Angel Soul Master who hated evil like an enemy. Whether it was a Soul Beast or a person, as long as he believed they were an Evil Spirit Master, he would act.
In just a year and a half, he had completed half of the Inspection Group's mission quota.
However, Qian Chaoyun had clearly gone too far today. He had nearly cut off Xu Sanshi's manhood with a single strike.
That was not a good sign.
Thinking of this, Mu En turned to Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department. "What does Shao Zhe think?"
Yan Shaozhe answered seriously, "Mu En, I believe Qian Chaoyun was not wrong. His intentions were not wrong. Xu Sanshi bullied a student and should have been punished. Why can't an Angel Soul Master be an adjudicator? Qian Chaoyun possesses a righteous spirit, so he can naturally serve as an enforcer."
"If Qian Chaoyun did anything wrong, it was only that he acted too aggressively and nearly cut off Xu Sanshi's manhood. He made the tiniest mistake. Just forbid him from eating for a day, and that will be enough."
"I think we should give Qian Chaoyun the status of an Academy enforcer afterward. That would allow him to better restrain those troublesome Students, especially some Students whom even us Teachers find difficult to interfere with."
The moment Xuan Zi heard that, he immediately agreed with Yan Shaozhe. "Shao Zhe's proposal is good. Old Man approves!"
Although he usually did not involve himself in affairs, Xuan Zi would still protect his disciple when it mattered.
Qian Chaoyun had brought him glory. He had beaten Xu Sanshi flat without even activating his Martial Soul, and who did that ultimately reflect well on?
If one day Angel Douluo Qian Chaoyun became renowned across the continent,
and had the name of his esteemed teacher, Xuan Zi, added after his own, Xuan Zi would be satisfied beyond measure.
Thinking of that, Xuan Zi ate his chicken drumstick and giggled foolishly, drool running from the corner of his mouth.
Beside him, Yan Shaozhe held his forehead, his face full of speechlessness.
Given his usual personality, he definitely would not have taken either side. But since he planned to bring Xiaotao and Qian Chaoyun together, he could only call black white and show this little fellow some favoritism.
Hopefully, Qian Chaoyun would not cause an even bigger disaster later, or things would become troublesome.
At that moment, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Spirit Engineering Department, frowned and asked, "Mu En, has something like this happened before?"
"Yes."
Mu En nodded and recalled, "Half a year ago, Qian Chaoyun was carrying out a mission to kill Evil Spirit Masters. Dai Yueheng took pity on a female Evil Spirit Master and wanted to persuade her to return to the right path, but that touched Qian Chaoyun's Reverse Scale."
"Qian Chaoyun believed that the woman had many lives on her hands and had to be killed, while Dai Yueheng believed she could be persuaded to reform. Their views clashed, and they ultimately fought."
Qian Duoduo asked, "What was the result?"
Before Mu En could speak, Yan Shaozhe replied, "That female Evil Spirit Master still died, beneath Qian Chaoyun's sword. Yueheng was injured."
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened.
That result was rather unexpected. After all, Dai Yueheng was a level-sixty-five Soul Emperor, while Qian Chaoyun had only just advanced to Soul King at the time.
Dai Yueheng had actually lost?
Watched by so many Resident Elders, Yan Shaozhe continued, "Qian Chaoyun possesses a Soul Bone from the Angel race. After activating the Angel Domain and forcibly using the Soul Bone's power, he can temporarily gain the buffs of three Ultimate Attributes: sacred, light, and fire. You can probably guess what happened next."
"The Sacred Angel Spirit is no ordinary top-tier Martial Soul. Qian Chaoyun is also a direct descendant of the Angel God. In particular, his third soul skill, Battle Intent Buff, makes him stronger the longer he fights. By the end, it would be difficult to determine victory or defeat."
Upon hearing this, all the Resident Elders drew in a sharp breath.
Qian Chaoyun was truly monstrously gifted!
Not only had he defeated Dai Yueheng, he had also executed an Evil Spirit Master.
Still, the kid had indeed done the right thing. An Evil Spirit Master guilty of monstrous crimes should have been killed. Dai Yueheng had been the one in the wrong in that matter.
Seeing the expressions on the Resident Elders' faces, Xuan Zi's grin nearly reached his ears.
That was Old Man's disciple!
He had truly brought Old Man glory.
Soon, half an hour passed, and the meeting came to an end.
The major Resident Elders unanimously believed that Qian Chaoyun had merely acted too aggressively and had committed no major error. He was to remain in secluded cultivation within the Inner Court for three days and was forbidden from going to the Outer Court.
Xu Sanshi had bullied a new student and damaged the academy's reputation. He had caused major trouble just to win a female student's smile, so he was ultimately sent out to carry out Inspection Group missions, and his academic credits were deducted.
Finally.
Yan Shaozhe casually obtained Shrek's enforcer identity token from Mu En, allowing Qian Chaoyun to punish disobedient Students on behalf of the Academy's enforcement team.
At the end of the meeting, Mu En proposed opening Qian Chaoyun's Inner Court Disciple Assessment early and barring him from participating in the New Student Competition.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo proposed sending Qian Chaoyun to the Spirit Engineering Department for further study, but Mu En ultimately rejected it.
Before long, these arrangements were carried out.
The incident that had shaken the Outer Court finally subsided for the time being.
