Junior Brother, I Was Too Loud Just Now

"Keke, which academy's outer disciple is this Ye Beixuan? I'll have someone teach him how to respect his elders."

Yan Xu's face was ashen. He was quite well-known in the inner courtyard of the Sword Dao Institute, and he had made it into the top fifty in the last inner sect competition.

All it takes is a casual greeting to the junior students from the other departments, and teaching Ye Beixuan a lesson would be a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, Ning Keke's face instantly lit up with joy. "Senior Brother Yan, I knew you were the most powerful. Ye Beixuan was from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, and just because his name sounded good, he caught the eye of that Half-Saint from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

However, I heard that he only stayed at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute for a few months before being expelled down the mountain by that Chief Chu."

She became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, completely unaware that Yan Xu's face grew increasingly gloomy, and his gaze towards her changed from doting to disgust.

"Get out of here!"

Yan Xu shoved Ning Keke, who was clinging to him like a little bird, away.

Ning Keke looked at Yan Xu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Senior Brother Yan, why are you suddenly being so fierce to her? If you keep being fierce, she won't talk to you anymore."

Snap!

Yan Xu slapped Ning Keke across the face and said sternly, "Today I'm not only going to yell at you, I'm going to slap you too!"

Ning Keke was stunned by the slap, covering her face and letting tears stream down her cheeks. She glared at Yan Xu with a wronged and resentful look.

Seeing this, Su Qing's heart pounded with anger. "Senior Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

"Snort!"

Yan Xu snorted coldly, "If you say another word, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Senior Brother Cao, so you'll remember this: do you think you country bumpkins like you can mess with the people from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

Since arriving at the Dao-Seeking Academy, Su Qing had never suffered such humiliation. Usually, many of her fellow disciples treated her with great respect. Yan Xu's words were even more painful than being slapped twice.

She pressed her lips together, staring at Yan Xu without saying a word.

Cao Youde, standing to the side, said calmly, "Su Qing Sister Suqing, for the sake of our brief but intense relationship, I'll give you a word of advice: Half-Saint Chu's power is beyond the comprehension of a mere outer disciple like yourself. Our connection ends here."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

Although Su Qing was extremely unwilling, she did not throw a tantrum like Ning Keke.

"Junior Brother Yan, let's go."

Cao Youde turned and left as he spoke, with Yan Xu following closely behind, showing no intention of even glancing at the two women.

Ning Keke was left sulking, and Su Qing remained silent, suppressing her anger.

"Sister Qing, we can't just let this go."

Ning Keke still unconvinced, and she attributed the slap Yan Xu had given her to Ye Beixuan.

If it weren't for Ye Beixuan's bullying and abuse of power, she wouldn't have lost a powerful backer.

Su Qing nodded slightly, her expression exceptionally firm, and said, "I refuse to believe that we can lose to that country bumpkin Ye Beixuan. As long as we are strong enough, I believe the sect elders will definitely stand on our side."

Upon hearing this, Ning Keke's eyes lit up. "You're right. As long as we can make it into the top 100 in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, we'll definitely be stronger than Ye Beixuan."

"Um."

Su Qing responded and secretly vowed to herself that she would amaze everyone in this competition.

On the other side, Cao Youde, expressionless, led Yan Xu toward Miaomiao Mountain.

Yan Xu spoke up, "Senior Brother Cao, do you think Junior Brother Ye will give us any face?"

Cao Youde pondered for a moment, "Even if he doesn't give us face, he'll give Youqian some. I'll give him a few pills then, and this matter should be resolved."

Yan Xu nodded slightly. "Then I'll have to trouble you to handle this matter, Senior Brother. From now on, I will definitely follow your lead."

"No problem."

The two had just flown to Miaomiao Mountain when they saw Ye Beixuan's figure.

Cao Youde spoke first, "Junior brother, please wait."

Ye Beixuan frowned slightly upon hearing the voice. He turned his head and saw two familiar figures landing. He frowned instinctively.

These two guys actually dared to follow me all the way here! They really don't take me, Ye Beixuan, seriously at all!

He spoke first, "Senior brothers, can't you wait any longer?"

Yan Xu smiled and said, "I really can't wait any longer. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to let it fester. Junior Brother Ye, I was speaking too loudly just now, please forgive me."

???

Ye Beixuan was stunned. He hadn't expected this guy to pull such a move, leaving him speechless.

Seeing this, Cao Youde continued, "Junior Brother Ye, we didn't know you were a Daqian brother of the Great Qian Dynasty before. This is a case of mistaken identity. We hope you can forgive and forget."

As he spoke, he took a porcelain bottle out of his storage bag and handed it over.

"Junior Brother Ye, there are several high-grade Essence Yuan Pill here. Consider it compensation from us brothers."

Ye Beixuan then came to his senses and sneered, "You two senior brothers really have some tricks up your sleeves. You actually made fun of your junior brother just to show off in front of your junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youde quickly explained, "That's really not the case. We have no relationship with those two women anymore. If you're still not satisfied, Junior Brother, we can have someone bring those two women over and make them kowtow to you and apologize."

If someone else had said this, Ye Beixuan certainly wouldn't have believed it, but judging from the other person's previous words, he and his second senior brother were of the same generation in the Cao Clan.

Teaching two mere outer disciples a lesson was indeed a trivial matter for someone like him.

Yan Xu added, "Junior brother, I've already taught that woman a lesson. If you're not satisfied, feel free to make any requests."

Having said all that, Ye Beixuan naturally couldn't push his luck any further. Having lived two lives, he understood that cultivation wasn't about fighting and killing, but about understanding human relationships and worldly affairs.

"Since you've said so, Senior Brother, then I'll accept this Essence Yuan Pill. Let's just consider this a small misunderstanding."

When Cao Youde saw that Ye Beixuan had accepted the pills, a look of joy flashed across his face.

"Junior Brother Ye is very generous. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to come to the Pill Dao Institute to find me."

"No problem."

Ye Beixuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the two of them.

Yan Xu said, "Junior Brother Ye, we've become acquainted through a fight, so why don't we take this opportunity to go down the mountain and have a drink?"

Ye Beixuan declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Yan, but I have just returned to the mountain and should pay my respects to our master. I will invite you two for drinks after the competition."

It's a deal!

"No problem."

Seeing that Ye Beixuan's anger had subsided, the two felt a great weight lifted from their hearts and took their leave.

Ye Beixuan watched the two figures disappear, muttering to himself, "Why don't these two follow the script from those novels? Giving up so easily makes me feel no sense of accomplishment."

He had barely finished speaking when a familiar voice reached his ears.

"What, you're thinking of making a lot of tough talk first, and then slapping them in the face?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan quickly turned around and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng had just noticed two inner disciples arriving at Miaomiao Mountain, so he came over to take a look and witnessed the scene just now, which prompted him to make a teasing remark.

Ye Beixuan felt a little uncomfortable under his master's teasing gaze, and scratched his head, saying, "Master, I did have this idea before, but unfortunately you are too strong, and others don't even give me this opportunity."

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I wonder what you've been through this time you went down the mountain. Let's go back to the courtyard and tell your master about your experiences."

Ye Beixuan replied respectfully, "Yes!"
