Jin Feiyuan raised an eyebrow. "Yixian Academy has never involved itself in the affairs of the Dominion Realm. Now they've sent you here—the meaning is clear. They want to get involved in the Four Sides Heavenly Balance's affairs." If his words got out and people started suspecting Yixian Academy of meddling in the Four Sides Heavenly Balance's affairs, it would bring enormous trouble. The Four Sides Heavenly Balance wouldn't let Yixian Academy off the hook, just as they hadn't spared the Purple Gold Family. Yixian Academy would have to submit to one side or the other. For them, that would be a disaster.
Jin Feiyuan's words were poison to Yixian Academy.
The man rolled his eyes. "No kidding."
Jin Feiyuan was furious. "Wen Diyi, watch your mouth. You're a scholar, for crying out loud."
Wen Diyi sneered. "That's how scholars talk to thugs. What, got a problem? Go ahead and hit me. Think you can take me? Reading is for having a proper conversation with gentlemen. With thugs like you, fists are what make the rules."
Jin Feiyuan attacked outright. Since he couldn't win a war of words with Wen Diyi, he decided to fight instead—and Wen Diyi wasn't afraid of him. At once, Purple Gold Flame clashed with all sorts of strange characters above the Seventh Layer. They fought for over an hour, but neither could gain the upper hand.
"Not bad, Jin Feiyuan. You've still got the strength to fight me after getting beaten up just now. You really are a Phoenix—getting beaten up is your specialty," Wen Diyi taunted.
Jin Feiyuan panted heavily. "You'd better hope Yixian Academy never enters the Dominion Realm."
"No kidding." Wen Diyi sneered again.
Jin Feiyuan snorted.
"Jin Feiyuan, believe me, someone will beat you up again soon, you thug," Wen Diyi
