Tang Qi Complains to the Resident Elders, Old Esteemed Teacher Protects His Own

Shrek Academy, Inner Court.

Another day passed.

Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi were the first to return to the Inner Court, having submitted their mission.

Their arrival meant the mission had been successfully completed.

At this, quite a few Inner Court Students gathered around to check on the two, only to find that Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi were actually unharmed.

This was truly rare.

A Red-level mission, and they weren't injured.

Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi indeed had some skills.

But why was Tang Qi's face so grim, looking as if his mother had died at home?

Chen Zifeng came closer and asked, "Yueheng, didn't you and Chaoyun go on a Red-level mission together? Why are only the two of you back? Where are Ling Luochen and Qian Chaoyun?"

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but ask, "Yeah, where's my person? Don't tell me Ling Luochen and Qian Chaoyun had an accident?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought, This is bad.

If she had known an accident would occur, she would have stopped this Inner Court mission no matter what.

Dai Yueheng replied, "Xiaotao, Qian Chaoyun and Ling Luochen are fine. This mission was completed perfectly. I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'm going to rest."

"No accident?"

The heavy stone in Ma Xiaotao's heart sank.

It's good they're fine, it's good they're fine.

At the same time, Chen Zifeng also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Qian Chaoyun was fine. If something had really happened, he would have lost a friend.

However, Tang Qi's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Ma Xiaotao asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, why are you still frowning?"

"Don't mention Qian Chaoyun in front of me."

Tang Qi suddenly exerted force, pushing Ma Xiaotao and the other Inner Court Students away, and flew towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Everyone was a bit confused.

What happened?

Tang Qi, this kid, was throwing a tantrum right off the bat, as if someone had offended him.

At this moment.

Tang Qi arrived at the entrance of the Golden Ancient Tree and shouted, "I request the Resident Elders to uphold justice for me!!"

This shout immediately summoned all the Resident Elders.

Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile, "Kid, did something unexpected happen? Did you complete this mission perfectly?"

Elder Xuan, while gnawing on a chicken drumstick, said indifferently, "My good disciple should be back soon too. You old disciples are faster. Chaoyun isn't as fast as you."

Xian Lin'er inquired, "What happened?"

Among the group of Resident Elders, only Xian Lin'er noticed that Tang Qi's expression was wrong, as if he had suffered some immense grievance.

Tang Qi immediately cried out, "Dean, Qian Chaoyun, he... he's gone too far, do you know? He actually didn't care about my and Dai Yueheng's lives."

"What's going on?"

Yan Shaozhe suddenly stopped smiling and continued, "Explain the whole story. We Resident Elders will judge fairly."

Tang Qi gritted his teeth and recounted everything that happened in the Star Luo Empire, not omitting the details of how he and Dai Yueheng were captured.

Finally, he embellished and exaggerated how Qian Chaoyun attacked them without regard for his companions' danger, causing him and Dai Yueheng to be injured.

After listening, the Resident Elders showed looks of surprise.

Elder Xuan's action of gnawing on the chicken drumstick paused.

That was his disciple!

Qian Chaoyun had actually stabbed Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi with a sword, nearly killing them.

Such a crazy act made even him tremble.

Tang Qi shouted, "I request the Resident Elders to uphold justice for me! Otherwise, what dignity does the Clear Sky Sect have? As a disciple of the continent's number one sect, how can I allow others to insult me?"

Immediately after, the Resident Elders convened a meeting.

Not long after, Qian Chaoyun and Ling Luochen also returned to the Inner Court.

The moment they landed, a large group of Inner Court Disciples surrounded them, asking what unexpected events had occurred during this mission.

They all knew Tang Qi was complaining.

Ma Xiaotao spoke, "Did you chop up Tang Qi? Look at him, he looks like his parents died, acting like he wants to fight you to the death."

However, Ling Luochen, standing beside him, became angry and retorted, "Without Tang Qi, this mission wouldn't have had so many accidents. Chaoyun and I almost died at the hands of the Evil Spirit Masters. It's all this guy's fault."

Qian Chaoyun, on the other hand, was much calmer and said indifferently, "I have my own way to resolve it."

As he spoke, he also entered the Sea God Pavilion.

Tang Qi playing these tricks on him, he truly wasn't afraid, as his actions always had a reason.

Soon, Qian Chaoyun arrived at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion. He glanced at Tang Qi beside him and cursed, "Trash!"

"Who are you calling trash?"

Tang Qi immediately got agitated.

Qian Chaoyun said indifferently, "Whoever is trash is who I'm calling trash. Who told you to admit it? You have no strength but love to show off, and you betrayed your companion when the mission failed. You truly live up to being a descendant of the Tang Family, possessing the pure bloodline of the Tang God King."

"You, you bastard!"

Tang Qi was instantly enraged and charged forward.

However, Qian Chaoyun merely raised his hand and used his formidable physical strength to send the other flying two meters away.

Tang Qi was dumbfounded.

He had been beaten again, and it was by this annoying guy again.

Just then, Yan Shaozhe opened the door to the Sea God Pavilion, stopping the two of them.

Qian Chaoyun turned his hand and submitted the intelligence, saying, "I have always believed in the Dean and that he can clear my name."

Before long, the Resident Elders began discussing the situation of this mission.

Initially, some Resident Elders believed Qian Chaoyun was too cold-blooded and should have saved his companion at a critical moment, even if it meant letting an Evil Spirit Master go.

However, immediately after, some Resident Elders refuted this.

Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi, after being captured, revealed the names and strengths of their companions, putting Qian Chaoyun and Ling Luochen in mortal danger.

Qian Chaoyun's actions were not improper.

In that situation, the Evil Spirit Master absolutely could not be let go.

Continuing to investigate the cause, the Resident Elders discovered that all these crises were created by Tang Qi, and he had also brought his companions into mortal danger.

Qian Chaoyun had indeed held back. Otherwise, his Fifth Soul Skill could have directly killed Tang Qi.

As the Resident Elders argued incessantly, the Old Esteemed Teacher, Elder Xuan, slammed the table and roared, "Enough! My disciple is not wrong. The one who is wrong is that little bastard.

Arrogant and conceited, thinking he could do whatever he wanted just because he had the Clear Sky Hammer. After being caught, he even sold out Chaoyun and Ling Luochen. This is simply the behavior of an idiot.

On this mission, my disciple not only completed the task beyond expectations by killing all the Evil Spirit Masters and destroying their lair, but he is not wrong; he even deserves credit."

Yan Shaozhe also agreed, "In that situation, if Qian Chaoyun hadn't acted, the Evil Spirit Masters would have fought back desperately. I believe Qian Chaoyun is not wrong; desperate times call for desperate measures."

The Resident Elders collectively fell silent.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that the two of you had been protecting Qian Chaoyun all along.

But the fact remained, Qian Chaoyun's decision in that situation was not wrong; the problem was that Tang Qi's fragile heart had been wounded.

During this mission, Ling Luochen had also been seriously injured. Qian Chaoyun's performance had been flawless, perfect from both a mission execution and a strategic perspective.

Tang Qi and Dai Yueheng had truly been a drag on the team.

Elder Mu was not present at this meeting, and everyone argued their own case.

Finally, after deliberation by the Resident Elders, they decided to give Qian Chaoyun the punishment of eating in the Outer Court, out of respect for Elder Xuan.

Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi, however, were punished with zero academic credits for the semester due to their arrogance and major mistakes during the mission. They would only be able to redeem themselves by continuing to participate in such missions.

Tang Qi stood at the doorway, stunned into a stupor upon hearing the outcome.

How could this be? No!

Heavens, you can't do this to me!!

It must be that the academy is biased towards Qian Chaoyun, it must be!

Thinking this, Tang Qi angrily declared, "Dean Yan, you're playing favorites, and the Resident Elders are covering for Qian Chaoyun. I do not accept this outcome."

Beside him, Qian Chaoyun let out a sneer, turned, and walked away, sarcastically remarking, "You truly are brainless, perfectly inheriting the Tang Family tradition."

Then, he calmly accepted the academy's punishment and went to eat in the Outer Court.

Yan Shaozhe stood there, his face stern. Being called out by an Inner Court Disciple for playing favorites in public made him very angry.

He said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Tang Qi froze, instantly sobering up.

At this moment, he realized he had spoken out of turn, daring to question the punishment handed down by the Resident Elders.

With that thought, he quickly apologized.
