The Innately Evil Brat, Yu Xiaogang Everyone Hated!

"Shut up!"

Qin Qi turned and shot the gatekeeper a vicious glare, scaring him into immediately clamming up!

How is it this little ancestor again?!

It's over, it's over. What rotten luck!

This was the very gatekeeper Qin Qi had beaten up before.

He felt incredibly unlucky right now, but at the same time, he was somewhat relieved.

Relieved that he had admitted his mistake back then.

Otherwise, he might have been the one getting pinned to the ground and beaten now!

"Save me! Save me!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the gatekeeper as if he had seen his savior. His face filled with excitement as he shouted.

"This guy assaulted a teacher! He's an innately evil brat! Hurry up and arrest him!"

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the gatekeeper, he felt saved. He had completely forgotten how he had begged for mercy just moments ago.

Instead, he began viciously attacking Qin Qi with his words, calling him an innately evil brat over and over.

"..."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's cries for help, the gatekeeper silently lowered his head and cursed inwardly.

Me, save you? Aren't you thinking a little too highly of me?!

And you caused this mess yourself. Why should I help you?!

I didn't see anything. I don't know anything.

Just don't hit me!

The gatekeeper had absolutely no intention of paying Yu Xiaogang any attention. He was just a man who guarded the entrance.

Saving people had nothing to do with him, and he had no intention of getting involved.

"Still barking like a dog!"

Qin Qi stomped directly on Yu Xiaogang's head, pressing his face into the ground.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, and goosebumps rose all over his body!

Something's wrong! This feeling—it's the danger warning from my second Soul Skill!

Qin Qi froze for a moment before immediately realizing that the second Soul Skill of his Formless Hand had begun to take effect.

He lifted his foot from Yu Xiaogang and turned, preparing to retreat.

Just then, many teachers rushed over. They had been alarmed by the gatekeeper's earlier shout.

The first to arrive was Notting Academy's headmaster, a four-ring Soul Ancestor!

Right behind him came the dean of studies, a three-ring Soul Elder.

Several two-ring teachers also hurried over.

When they arrived, they saw Yu Xiaogang beaten into a pig's head and Qin Qi with bloodstained hands.

"W-what happened here?"

The Notting headmaster looked utterly confused. He could not imagine what had happened.

It could not be that a six-year-old child had pinned down and brutally beaten a fifty-year-old, level-thirty master, could it?

No matter how useless a master was, he was still an adult and a level-twenty-nine Soul Master.

How could he possibly have been pinned down and beaten by a child?

"Headmaster, this bastard threatened me!"

"He said that if I didn't become his disciple, he would have me expelled!"

"When I refused, he even tried to hit me."

"I had no choice but to fight back!"

Qin Qi looked at the teachers gathering around him and estimated that his chances of successfully running away were rather low.

Besides, if he ran now, even if he had been in the right, he would become the one in the wrong.

He would try reasoning with them first. If that failed, he could always run!

"That's not what happened! He's lying!"

"This brat attacked me without saying a word!"

"He's an evil student who has no respect for his elders or teachers! Hurry up and arrest him!"

When Yu Xiaogang saw the headmaster arrive, he finally relaxed. He felt like he had someone to back him up now.

He lifted his head from the ground, then glared fiercely at Qin Qi and roared.

"Enough. We'll discuss what happened afterward. Teacher from the infirmary, treat the master first."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's bedraggled state, the headmaster frowned and spoke.

"Alright."

The female teacher from the infirmary stepped forward and casually treated Yu Xiaogang.

After finishing, she walked away in disgust.

Yu Xiaogang was truly hated by everyone at the academy. Even dogs would bite him; no one welcomed him at all.

"You're student Qin Qi, correct? Tell us what happened first."

The Notting headmaster looked at Qin Qi and spoke.

"Yes, Headmaster."

"I went out for a walk today, and I ran into Yu Xiaogang on my way back."

"Without saying anything, he demanded that I become his disciple, but I didn't want a master."

"Then he started insulting me, saying I was shortsighted and that I would be a useless good-for-nothing for the rest of my life."

"I couldn't help arguing with him. As we argued, Yu Xiaogang tried to hit me."

"I'm not someone who lets others bully me, so I punched him."

Qin Qi did not fabricate anything. He simply recounted the events exactly as they had happened.

"The master is truly despicable!"

"He tried to force someone to become his disciple just because they refused!"

"He actually tried to hit a child—and even lost to one."

"What a disgraceful fool."

"Keeping a clown like this at Notting Academy only tarnishes our name."

Without the slightest doubt, the teachers believed Qin Qi's words.

For one thing, what Qin Qi said matched their understanding of Yu Xiaogang. He had done such things before.

Whenever he saw someone talented, he wanted to take them as a disciple. If they refused, he would insult them for lacking vision.

For another, Qin Qi was only six years old and had left a good impression on the teachers at the academy.

They did not think Qin Qi was lying.

"No, he's lying! He's lying!"

"He even pinned my head down just now and made me kneel to him!"

"He's an innately evil brat!"

Hearing the teachers' words, Yu Xiaogang could not help shouting.

But the teachers' gazes were cold, and not a single one wanted to speak up for Yu Xiaogang.

Some even wanted to kick him while he was down and use this chance to drive Yu Xiaogang, this complete waste, out of the academy!

"Although Qin Qi's Innate Soul Power is a little low, his practical combat ability is excellent."

"He also performs very well in class."

"He gets along well with his classmates too. Everyone speaks highly of him."

The teachers gathered around Qin Qi. As they reassured him, they spoke to the headmaster.

"Huh?"

"The situation seems to have turned around?"

Qin Qi stared at the teachers surrounding him, stunned. He had expected to be condemned by everyone.

Yet unexpectedly, everyone was speaking up for him.

Just how terrible was Yu Xiaogang's reputation at the academy that not one person was willing to help him?

The chill behind Qin Qi's back began to fade, and his raised hairs slowly settled.

The danger seemed to have disappeared!?

"What do you think, Director Su?"

The headmaster looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Qin Qi, hesitation appearing in his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang was indeed his friend, but they were not that close.

Keeping Yu Xiaogang here had merely been a convenient favor.

But now Yu Xiaogang had gotten into a fight with a student. If this matter was not handled properly,

then once word got out, the academy's reputation would be ruined. Who would dare enroll here afterward?
