Ye Rudí

Under the night sky, the hazy moonlight cast a soft glow, shrouding Green Moon Mountain in a veil of light gauze as a gentle breeze rustled, making shadows dance.

At the mountain summit, Ye Qiu and the Grand Law Enforcer sat facing each other, their gazes locked in a brief silence.

After a long while, the Grand Law Enforcer blinked, "The Ye Clan is, after all, the Royal Family. In the past, the Ye King bestowed some favors upon the Academy. With Lu's actions like this, where does the Ye Clan's reputation stand? The Academy finds itself in a difficult position!"

"Furthermore, today is the Young Master's grand ceremony for the Ye Clan. This matter... is truly rather improper."

Ye Qiu's expression was calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, his clear eyes showing no ripples. "How does this concern me?"

The Grand Law Enforcer took a deep breath. "You can't possibly not know why Lu has been targeting the Ye Clan like this, can you?"

Ye Qiu glanced at the Grand Law Enforcer. "You don't think I instructed Lu Li to do this, do you?"

The Grand Law Enforcer looked at him. Even if it wasn't you, this matter is absolutely because of you!

He said, "Everyone in the Academy knows Lu's attitude towards you now, don't they?"

Initially, everyone thought that the esteemed Lu Li wouldn't possibly have any feelings for an Abandoned Son.

The two were on completely different levels and could never end up in the same world.

However, the reality shocked everyone.

She had gone berserk in the Academy, taking down over a dozen disciples for Ye Qiu, even attacking a Super Mentor. She had gone to Saber Cliff to draw her saber for him, even risking her life.

This time, attacking Ye Rudi in the Ye Clan must also be due to Ye Qiu's special relationship with the Ye Clan.

Ye Qiu said, "And then?"

The Grand Law Enforcer said earnestly, "Look, could you perhaps talk to Lu? It's only a few months left, can't we just endure it? Or, if we have to act, can we at least find a place where no one is around, and preferably, be a little gentler... don't beat people to death!"

Speaking of this, the Grand Law Enforcer revealed a look of deep helplessness, tinged with bitterness.

He, the dignified Grand Law Enforcer, who judged the entire South Province, whose word was law, who could execute first and report later, had to stoop to such a level.

But... what could he do if he felt wronged?

He couldn't afford to offend them!

Moreover, the future of the Academy depended on pleasing them!

He looked at Ye Qiu, but at this moment, Ye Qiu's expression held even more bitterness than his own.

"Grand Law Enforcer, you don't think Lu Li would listen to me, do you?"

The Grand Law Enforcer fell silent, then said, "Otherwise, should I have the Academy Head talk to you again?"

Ye Qiu looked up. Old man, you're quite old, why are you still bullying people with your authority?

I'm just a law-abiding good student, I haven't provoked you, haven't bothered you!

The Grand Law Enforcer sighed. "Really, I'm truly at a loss! I'm finding it very, very difficult right now!"

Ye Qiu looked at him, feeling a sense of shared misfortune. "To be honest, I'm even more helpless than you. Do you know that Lu Li attacks me just as fiercely... she tries to kill me too..."

The Grand Law Enforcer glanced at him. "You should go to the brothels less often in the future."

Ye Qiu: "..."

The Grand Law Enforcer thought for a moment, then opened his Storage Ring and took out a full hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.

In the past, he detested this kind of private bribery. If he caught anyone doing it, the minimum punishment was a broken leg!

But now, he felt that some social niceties truly lacked their flavor without money.

He silently pushed the hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in front of Ye Qiu, his eyes holding a hint of pleading.

Ye Qiu fell silent, then looked up at the Grand Law Enforcer. "Do you have a million?"

The Grand Law Enforcer lowered his voice. "No."

Ye Qiu: "..."

Nan Qingyue's tactic didn't work.

He thought for a moment, then silently put away the hundred thousand Spirit Crystals. "I'll try, but it might not work."

The Grand Law Enforcer said, "As long as you don't go to the brothels, it will definitely work."

Ye Qiu's face turned a little ugly. "I didn't go."

The Grand Law Enforcer stood up and said meaningfully, "I understand!"

Ye Qiu: "..."

The Grand Law Enforcer turned and walked down the mountain, where he encountered the tall and sturdy Wu Xiaokai running towards the peak.

The Grand Law Enforcer stopped him. Wu Xiaokai immediately puffed up with pride and bowed his head, cupping his fists. "Grand Law Enforcer."

Although he hadn't been here long, this young man clearly understood who the most feared person in the Academy was!

This Grand Law Enforcer was ruthless!

He had been put in his place on his very first day.

"Your name is Wu Xiaokai?" the Grand Law Enforcer asked.

Wu Xiaokai nodded obediently, then raised a finger to guarantee that he had been well-behaved all this time and had absolutely not violated any Academy laws.

The Grand Law Enforcer said sternly, "From now on, go to brothels less."

Wu Xiaokai: "... I've fallen in love."

The Grand Law Enforcer glanced at him, then continued forward.

Wu Xiaokai silently wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, then quickly rushed up Green Moon Mountain and arrived beside Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye, you know already, right?" He seemed a bit excited.

Ye Qiu nodded.

Wu Xiaokai laughed, "You didn't see the scene today, it was truly... so brutal!"

"Let me tell you, that Ye Rudí was beaten like a dog..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sister-in-law is truly mighty!

Ye Qiu also chuckled. He didn't have a good impression of Ye Rudí, perhaps because he was too arrogant.

Back in the Ye Clan, more than half of the mud slung at Ye Qiu had been thrown by that kid.

And yet, Ye Jiangshan believed him.

At that time, Ye Qiu didn't understand.

But now, he understood.

They weren't clueless; they had already made their choice... Ye Rudí had the Heavenly King Body! He had great potential! He offered many benefits!
