The moment they saw Zhou Qingran, Jiang Feng, the Old Man in Brocade Robe, and the others felt their hearts clench. A nameless unease seized them, and their eyes widened in shock.
Why had Zhou Qingran shown up in person?
Was she here specifically because they hadn't gone to apologize within three minutes?
How arrogant!
Knowing Zhou Qingran's temperament, she might really do something like that. But there were more than ten mentors here. How dare she?
She was only a rising star. What gave her the nerve?
"What happened?"
The tremendous commotion soon drew the attention of many disciples at Heavenly Extremes Academy. Quite a few left their cultivation islands and watched from afar.
When they saw Zhou Qingran facing off alone against several academy mentors, they all sucked in a sharp breath.
Was she really going to do it?
They hadn't apologized within three minutes, so she'd actually come right to their door!
"Mentor Zhou, you've gone too far! Heavenly Extremes Hall is where the mentors discuss important matters, yet you've destroyed it. If the dean blames us, how are we supposed to answer for this?" the Old Man in Brocade Robe shouted, striking first.
"If he has a problem with it, he can come find me."
Zhou Qingran replied calmly, without the slightest hint of anger in her voice.
She stood there in her white robes, her jade-white feet and glistening calves exposed, her beauty utterly captivating.
"Hiss!" At her words, it wasn't just the surrounding disciples who gasped. Even Jiang Feng and the other mentors couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
Zhou Qingran's words were outrageous. The dean was the head of the entire academy! Yet she spoke as if she didn't care about him at all!
"Mentor Zhou, do you know what you're saying?"
