Qian Renxue's Reaction
That evening, when Lu Yang returned to the Crown Prince's Residence's residence, he was immediately summoned to the study by Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue went straight to the point and asked, "Today on the academy's Soul Fighting Arena, you severely injured the leader of the Heaven Dou Team One?"
"Right."
"What's going on?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Yang's answer.
"What did those three tattletales say?" Lu Yang didn't answer directly, but instead asked Qian Renxue a question.
Hearing Lu Yang say this, Qian Renxue felt even more uncomfortable. But she still handed Lu Yang the secret letter that Meng Shenji and the others had sent, letting him see for himself what Meng Shenji and the others had to say.
Lu Yang quickly scanned the secret letter, then chuckled.
"These old bastards are really shameless. If they weren't backing him up, would Qin Ming dare to act so arrogantly?"
"Back when I won the academy's assessment, Qin Ming Yu Tianheng out and said I hit too hard. I hadn't even awakened my Martial Soul yet, how could I hit too hard? This time, in the first and second team sparring match, I swept the entire team by myself, and he jumped out to show off again. Only those three senile old men would even look at a piece of trash like him who can't teach students."
Lu Yang tossed the secret letter into the brazier, then looked at Qian Renxue: "So, how do you plan to handle this?"
"I'm not going to deal with it. They chose the people themselves. If they can't lead the team well, it's their problem with their judgment, or the team leader is incompetent. What does it have to do with me?" Qian Renxue retorted.
"Then why did you call me here so late at night?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled.
"Because I'm very unhappy!" Qian Renxue finally shifted her gaze from the book in her hands to Lu Yang's face. "You're my person, why didn't you tell me if you were wronged? Or do you think I can't protect you?"
Qian Renxue's words left Lu Yang speechless. He scratched his head and said, "I just felt it was more satisfying to do it myself."
"Fine, you've got guts!" Qian Renxue's tone was clearly not good; she just felt a tightness in her chest, and she didn't know why.
"Alright, go back and rest. I'm annoyed just looking at you!" Qian Renxue waved her hand, dismissing Lu Yang.
After Lu Yang's figure left the study, Qian Renxue spoke up, "Uncle Ci Xue, go and teach those three old men a lesson. My men can't be let suffer for nothing."
"Yes, Young Mistress." A voice Ci Xue came from the shadows.
"Wait, let Uncle She Long go instead." Before Ci Xue could leave, Qian Renxue spoke again.
She had originally planned to have Ci Xue poison the three old men, causing them several days of suffering. However, she suddenly remembered that she was currently feeding Xue Ye a slow-acting poison, and fearing she might give herself away, she stopped Ci Xue and sent She Long instead.
"Yes!" She Long's voice rang out, and he left the Crown Prince's Residence. As a Titled Douluo, dealing with three Soul Douluo was naturally no problem for him.
The following day, Lu Yang arrived at the Heaven Dou Academy on time as usual. Yesterday's sparring had caused quite a stir within the academy, and many students made way for him upon seeing Lu Yang.
Lu Yang thought they were out of their minds. He wasn't a violent maniac and wouldn't cause them trouble for no reason.
As soon as Lu Yang entered the classroom, he saw Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. After a night, Dugu Yan had long forgotten what Lu Yang had said to her yesterday. Seeing Lu Yang enter the classroom, she waved for him to sit down next to the two of them.
"Lu Yang, have you heard? The team leader of Team One is going to be removed from the team," Dugu Yan said.
"I don't know, and I'm not interested." Lu Yang shrugged, clearly uninterested in the topic.
"His teaching was subpar; it's reasonable for him to be dismissed," Ye Lingling commented from the side.
"But some people still think he's very skilled, they're really blind," Dugu Yan chimed in, raising her voice slightly.
Yu Tianheng, who was sitting not far in front, seemed to be provoked. He clenched his fists tightly, but kept his head down and did not dare to stand up and refute.
The morning's theoretical lessons were quite dry, but Lu Yang listened very attentively throughout the morning. This was because the teacher had been discussing knowledge about fire-attribute Soul Beast. This might be helpful for Lu Yang in choosing Soul Ring in the future, so he paid extra attention.
Lu Yang spent the afternoon cultivating. He didn't need the assistance of the Mimicry Training Ground, so he went directly to the stands of the playground, found a seat at random, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who knew the reason behind his actions, were not surprised, but the others in the academy were puzzled. Many people, after witnessing Lu Yang's cultivation level and formidable strength yesterday, even thought that he had some deeper meaning behind his actions, and in the afternoon they went to the playground, found a seat not far from Lu Yang, and began to cultivate.
This left Lu Yang with many questions in his mind when he finished cultivating. He couldn't understand whether these noble children were all a little different from others, ignoring the academy's excellent Mimicry Training Ground and instead imitating him by coming to the playground. Could it be that their Martial Soul also had the special effect of increasing cultivation speed fivefold under sunlight?
As for the reason, Lu Yang only found out about it during a casual chat with Dugu Yan the next morning in class. Upon hearing this absurd answer, Lu Yang almost burst out laughing in class.
That afternoon, the noble children returned to the training ground. This time, however, Lu Yang didn't ignore them. Before they sat down, he spoke, "I'm telling you, stop imitating me here. I cultivate here because my Martial Soul is special; meditation under natural light is more effective than in the Mimicry Training Ground. You should go to the Mimicry Training Ground; it's more suitable for you."
Hearing Lu Yang's words, the noble children exchanged glances. One of them said awkwardly, "But, when we cultivated next to you yesterday, we really felt that our Soul Power was increasing faster."
"Yes, yes, although I'm not sure if it's more effective than the Mimicry Training Ground, I meditated for an entire afternoon yesterday, and my state was very stable with no fluctuations."
"I feel the same way."
Hearing their words, Lu Yang was dumbfounded. He wasn't even sure if these people were just being psychological.
However, seeing how insistent they were, Lu Yang didn't try to persuade them further.
Upon seeing Lu Yang begin meditating, these people immediately found seats and entered a meditative state as well.
Of course, what they just said wasn't entirely psychological. As Soul Master, although these noble children weren't particularly diligent in their cultivation, their perceptions shouldn't be wrong. The reason they had such a feeling was due to the unique nature of the Winged Dragon of Ra Martial Soul.
