Chapter 58: Let Zhuge Mingyue Marry Him!

  But just as everyone thought the outcome was already decided, Zhuge Mingyue's eyes became extremely sharp. At this moment, beside Zhuge Qinglian, a summoner who was about to complete his spell suddenly stopped and flew out without warning. In the place where he originally stood, a faint shadow like a ghost quickly floated by.

  "Could it be that someone has already completed the summoning? No way, how is that possible so quickly?" The remaining three summoners' hearts sank at the same time.

  In the duel of summoners, what's crucial is the speed of summoning. Whoever can summon their magical pet first will gain the upper hand and take control of the battle. Therefore, every summoner needs to not only constantly strengthen their spiritual power but also continuously improve the fusion speed of their spiritual power and incantations to increase their summoning speed.

  In the rigorous training of Ziyun Academy, these young summoners have been constantly trying and honing their skills, starting from every syllable and every word, continuously improving their summoning speed. Perhaps in terms of level, they may not be much stronger than summoners from other academies, but in terms of speed, they have absolute confidence.

  But today, in front of Zhuge Mingyue, their confidence was shattered. With the divine beast Xīng Huò as her contracted magical pet, Zhuge Mingyue had a seemingly innate familiarity and intimacy with summoning spells, as if these spells had accompanied her through countless reincarnations, deeply imprinted on her mind, and didn't require much time or effort to bring out their effects to the extreme.

  Just as several summoners were in a gloomy mood, two more summoners flew out one after another beside Zhuge Qinglian. "It's just a little bit away from completing the summoning, just a little bit!" The two summoners wailed in their hearts.

  The lithe figure of the clouded leopard finally appeared in people's sight, with its coat pattern as mysterious and beautiful as ever, stirring people's hearts.

  "It's actually the Cloud Patterned Leopard, no wonder it's so fast!" Zhuge Qinglian and his group suddenly realized, at the same time feeling uneasy. For these high-level swordsmen, the terrifying speed of the Wind Leopard posed a threat that was in no way less than that of the Earth Swordsmen.

  Zhuge Qinglian was also shocked and resentful in her heart, someone like Zhuge Mingyue had already become a high-level summoner, and her magic pet was even a Cloud Patterned Wind Leopard.

  In the chaos, the last summoner finally completed the summoning. In the fiery light, a small fox appeared with its cute and lovely figure. The summoner finally let out a sigh of relief. This high-level magic pet was known for its speed and intelligence, perhaps it could withstand the wind leopard's speed.

  However, their hopes were soon dashed. The fire fox had just appeared in shape and hadn't even had time to show off its speed and wisdom when it saw a shadow looming over its head. The earth beast's massive body fell heavily on the summoner's front, creating a pit in the ground, lifting its stone-like front paws, and gently patting them, sending the summoner flying out, losing consciousness in the last moment. This poor summoner only saw Wan Zhenchen's face with a silly and rustic smile. As for the even more pitiful fire fox, it was already too late to care about it.

  And what about the guardian of this summoner? He was having a hard time dealing with Xue Zihao. He went east, Xue Zihao followed him east; he went west, Xue Zihao followed him west. Neither could gain the upper hand over the other. To make matters worse, Xue Zihao was smiling at him with an expression that stuck to his face like caramel. Watching his summoner being beaten and sent flying, while he himself couldn't rush over to rescue him, made him so angry he wanted to jump up and down.

  Wan Xi Chen commanded his demonic pet to charge into the crowd, and he himself drank a bottle of strength potion, flexing his arms like a legendary Vajra as he plunged into the crowd. Meanwhile, Zhuge Mingyue had already taken a step ahead of him and was charging towards Zhuge Qinglian.

  It's a one-sided massacre! A mournful cry echoed through the campus. The highly anticipated summoner fell before even making a move, and the remaining high-level swordsmen were no match for Ling Feiyang's majestic longsword. Ling Feiyang's sword seemed to have a life of its own, growing more excited with each kill, trembling slightly at the end, with a faint red glow amidst the white light. The archers had some close combat abilities, but how could they be a match for Xue Zihao and Wan Qichen, who were under the effects of enhanced strength and agility potions? People around Zhu Ge Qinglian fell like wheat, crying out in agony while clutching their heads and chests.

  Zhuge Qing's mind was filled with anger and panic, and she was surrounded by people protecting her, giving her precious time to chant the spell to summon her magic pet. However, due to shock and panic, her emotions were unstable, and twice when she was about to finish the spell, she heard the screams of the people around her, which interrupted her spell. This had never happened before. She and her companions had also participated in training exercises and fought against fierce beasts, so they had plenty of combat experience. But today, it was Zhuge Mingyue, whom she thought was harmless, who made her feel so humiliated in public. The negative emotions accumulated in her heart, making her mood even more unstable. This was a taboo for summoners!

  Zhuge Mingyue wouldn't give her a stable emotional time, she drew out a dagger and skillfully made her way through the chaotic crowd, directly arriving at Zhuge Qinglian's side. The sharp dagger swung, and the hair on the edge of Zhuge Qinglian's ear fell again, the icy dagger pressed against Zhuge Qinglian's neck.

  "Stop, stop!" Wang Xifan shouted anxiously as he saw the situation. He wanted to rush over to rescue, but was blocked by Ling Feiyang's long sword. Another guardian of Zhuge Qinglian was a girl, she was Zhuge Qinglian's good friend, called Wei Qing'er. At this moment, she covered her right arm with a pale face and stood on the side with difficulty, her right arm seemed to be broken. Wan Kuichen had drunk an enhanced version of the strength potion improved by Zhuge Mingyue, his moves were not reserved at all. He absolutely wouldn't "cherish jade" just because his opponent was a woman.

  "Zhuge Mingyue, you will pay the price for what you did today." Zhuge Qinglian didn't dare to make any rash moves at this time, and only coldly spat out these words.

  "Do you believe I'll make sure you never have the chance to speak again?" Zhuge Mingyue's dagger pressed down lightly, and a streak of blood appeared on Zhuge Qinglian's neck. A warm flow trickled down her neck. Every pore on Zhuge Qinglian's body stood up, and a chill surged up continuously. This little cheap thing, how dare she! How did she dare to really lay hands on herself!

  "Stop, stop!" Wang Xifan shouted anxiously, desperately jumping back. "I surrender, we surrender, don't move Qinglian." It has to be said that Wang Xifan was indeed sincere towards Zhuge Qinglian, even though Zhuge Qinglian had never looked at him properly, he still guarded her selflessly without complaint.

  Zhu Ge Qinglian glared at Zhu Ge Mingyue with a mixture of anger and hatred. She couldn't understand why this lowly woman's abilities were so strong, even surpassing those on their side in summoning demonic pets. Was it really due to the bloodline of the Zhu Ge family? The Zhu Ge family took pride in their identity, boasting a hundred years of glory with each generation producing renowned and powerful summoners. Could it be that Mingyue's body flowed with the blood of the Zhu Ge family? Bah! Qinglian thought this and spat out a mouthful of saliva, resolutely refusing to acknowledge that this wild child, Mingyue, was a member of the Zhu Ge family!

  Just as everyone was at a standstill, a bald middle-aged fat man came running over, wiping his sweat and looking anxious, shouting loudly to Zhuge Mingyue from afar, "Stop! Everyone stop!"

  "Director Chu!" Zhuge Qinglian and his group were overjoyed to see the chubby man running towards them, and they exclaimed the identity of the newcomer. The person was indeed Director Chu Jian of Ziyun Academy.

  "You... you, what kind of person are you, daring to commit violence at Ziyun Academy and injure our students?" The bald fat man finally ran up to him, his whole body trembling with rage, panting heavily as he asked. It was only natural that he would ask this, because the clothes of Zhuge Qinglian and the others had the emblem of Ziyun Academy on them, while those of Zhuge Mingyue and the others did not.

  Before Zhuge Mingyue and the others could speak, Chu Jian continued to say angrily: "Hurry up and let go of our student. You dare to lay hands on her, do you know who she is?" Chu Jian's tone was clearly biased towards someone.

  Zhuge Mingyue sheathed his dagger and retreated back to the side of Wan Qi Chen and the others with a calm expression.

  "We are here to report as new students." Wan Xi Chen said in a low voice, "As for the murder, I think this teacher should investigate clearly before making a conclusion."

  "Are you taking me for a blind man? Look at the good deed you've done!" Chu Jian's face was red with anger, and everyone on the ground was in a state of disarray. Zhuge Yaxin's cheeks were even more swollen and red. He rushed over just in time to see Zhuge Mingyue holding a dagger to Zhuge Qinglian's neck. What else could be said? Moreover, Zhuge Qinglian was the eldest sister of the Zhuge family, and he not only didn't dare to offend her but also had to fawn on her. In fact, that's exactly what he had been doing all along.

  "You still want to sign up? You think you can still sign up? You haven't even started school yet, and you're already fighting and causing trouble. And as for your future classmates, you don't have a shred of love or kindness towards them, striking out with such venom. People like you aren't worthy of entering our Ziyun Academy!" Chu Jian rebuked loudly, his words full of righteous indignation, spittle flying from his mouth.

  "We're just defending ourselves." Wan Qi said with a squint, in a light tone. He wasn't an idiot, he could tell that the teacher in front of him was obviously favoring Zhuge Qinglian and the others. However, there were some things that if not spoken out loud would leave a bad taste in his mouth.

  "Self-defense, can self-defense beat someone up like this?" Chu Jian's voice grew louder. "With such ruthless and merciless behavior, do you still want to enroll? Get out of here immediately! Our Ziyun Academy doesn't need students like you. Which teacher recruited you? I'll deal with them properly. As the Dean of Studies at Ziyun Academy, I hereby declare that you are expelled... no, you haven't even enrolled yet, so I'm canceling your admission qualifications." After finishing speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Zhuge Qinglian's expression and saw that they all had satisfied and gloating looks on their faces. He felt a sense of relief in his heart, thinking to himself that this move was correct.

  "There's such a stupid teacher in this school, even if they paid me to attend, I wouldn't go." Zhuge Mingyue sneered and pulled out the admission notice from her bag, tearing it into shreds. With a flourish, she tossed them into the air, and the scraps of paper danced in the wind.

  Chu Jianqi's face turned bright red, for the first time someone dared to scold him so openly! Chu Jianqi's stomach hurt, just as he was about to get angry, Zhuge Mingyue beside him, Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao also tore up the admission notice of Purple Cloud Academy. Their movements were so elegant, their expressions full of disdain and contempt.

  Chu Jianqi's whole body trembled with rage, his finger pointing at Zhuge Mingyue and the others. In his imagination, shouldn't these people be begging for another chance? They actually dared to behave like this, it was infuriating.

  "Chu Jian, you haven't changed a bit after all these years, still as elegant as ever." Suddenly, a clear voice filled with jest and sarcasm rang out.

  Chu Jian was taken aback, turned his head, and only then discovered Ling Feiyang! He was shocked and delighted at the same time. Shocked that Ling Feiyang was here? Delighted because he had received news earlier that Ling Feiyang would be re-enrolling, which was great news. As a Great Land Swordsman, Ling Feiyang had met the graduation requirements early on, so he graduated ahead of schedule. The Chen Long competition didn't have him, and the teachers at the academy were all disappointed. Later, when they heard that Ling Feiyang would be returning to school, all the teachers, including the principal, were overjoyed.

  "Brother Ling Fei Yang..." Chu Jian Huan put on a smile and greeted Ling Fei Yang.

  However, Ling Feiyang's words afterwards made Chu Jian change his face: "For a long time, you are still so selfish, so unscrupulous, so flattering, and such a bootlicker." Ling Feiyang smiled charmingly, but the words that came out of his mouth were enough to make people vomit blood.

  "I'm also one of the perpetrators." Ling Feiyang shrugged and shook his head, "Trouble to inform the principal that I haven't even enrolled yet, but my enrollment qualification has been cancelled." After finishing speaking, Ling Feiyang took out the admission notice, tore it into pieces, threw it away, and walked beside Zhuge Mingyue with a smile.

  "Next month, let's go." Ling Feiyang glanced at Chu Jian, whose face had turned the color of a pig's liver. "You're right, with such an idiot teacher in this college, it's really not worth attending anymore."

  Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ling Feiyang's calm face and smiled, then didn't look at Zhuge Qinglian and the others again, and left with everyone.

  "Zhuge Mingyue, I won't let you off." Zhuge Qinglian stared at Zhuge Mingyue's back, saying fiercely in her heart. Although she hated Zhuge Mingyue, unconsciously, she no longer looked down on her as before, but instead regarded her as an opponent, and a very formidable one at that.

  "How could Ling Feiyang be with her?" Chu Jian's heart was filled with anxiety and unease, wondering what was going on. How did Ling Feiyang just leave like that? Was it because of his own words? How would he explain this to the principal now? Chu Jian was now filled with regret, if only he had known that Ling Feiyang was in cahoots with that group, he wouldn't have spoken out in defense of Zhuge Qinglian so quickly. The Zhuge family was a prominent family in the capital, and the Ling family was too! Moreover, Ling Feiyang's abilities were even above those of Zhuge Qinglian! It was truly regrettable!

  "I don't know." Zhuge Qinglian replied with a bad temper, then left with the crowd. Chu Jian looked a bit upset, he had offended Ling Feiyang to help Zhuge Qinglian, but Zhuge Qinglian didn't even say a word of gratitude before leaving. It was really not worth it! Actually, Zhuge Qinglian was still fuming at this moment, if it were usual times, she would have given Chu Jian some face, but today she wasn't in the mood. The Ling and Zhuge families had never gotten along, and now the powerful Ling Feiyang had become Zhuge Mingyue's guardian. At this time, Zhuge Qinglian was both jealous and resentful.

  Chu Jian was already regretful when his intestines turned green, while Zhuge Mingyue and the others had already left the gate of Ziyun Academy.

  "Moon, where are we going now?" The effects of the medicinal water had worn off long ago, but his mind was still reeling from the intense excitement. Thinking about being expelled before even enrolling, he felt a bit lost and asked Zhuge Mingyue. He only felt lost, without any regret.

  "Pangzi, Haizi, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you two..." Zhuge Mingyue felt a pang of guilt in her heart, thinking about how she had dragged down Pangzi and Haizi, preventing them from entering their dream school, the Purple Cloud Academy.

  "Halt!" Wan Qi Chen cut off Zhuge Mingyue before she could finish speaking, his voice stern. "Mingyue, are we not companions?"

  "Yes." Zhuge Mingyue nodded.

  "That's it, what's the big deal? If you guys didn't come to Ziyun Academy, I wouldn't have come either. What's the worst that could happen?" Wan Xichen coldly snorted, his tone dismissive as he comforted Zhuge Mingyue.

  "Moon, I'll ask you one thing. If today we were the ones who clashed with others, would you help us out? Would you think it's a pity that we're not from Zi Yun Academy?" Xue Zihao asked calmly to Zhuge Mingyue.

  Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. The intentions of Wan Qichen and Xue Zihao were clearly conveyed to Zhuge Mingyue at this moment. Did they need to ask? If Wan Qichen and Xue Zihao encountered such a thing, she would also help without hesitation, regardless of the consequences.

  Ling Fei Yang carried a huge sword on his back, holding his head in his hands, looking up at the sky and said: "Where are we going now?" As for whether or not to go to Ziyun Academy, he didn't care anymore. He was an early graduate, this time he would accompany Ming Yue and others to re-enroll.

  "Isn't there another academy? Let's go there." Zhuge Mingyue remembered the academy they had seen before, Tianfeng Academy. The old man in charge of the assessment at the entrance had left a deep impression on them.

  "Right, others also have Saint-level experts, by the way, what's that academy called?" Wan Xi Chen's eyes lit up. In fact, even if there were no Saint-level experts, as long as Zhuge Mingyue said he wanted to go, he wouldn't have any opinions at all. However, he seemed to have forgotten the name of that academy. This couldn't be blamed on him, after all, the signboard of that academy hadn't been hung up yet.

  "Tiān Fēng Academy!" Xue Zi Hao said. He actually remembered the name of that academy.

  Several people quickened their pace and soon saw the shadow of Tianfeng Academy in the distance. However, they also saw a person they knew.

  In the distance, a slender figure stood still by the lake, quietly gazing at the newly opened academy. A gentle breeze swept across the lake's surface, rustling her clothes, with a hint of desolation.

  "Teacher Liang, what are you doing here?" As she walked closer, Zhu Ge Mingyue exclaimed in surprise. This elegant and refined woman was actually the Summoning Master instructor of Ziyun Academy, Liang Rouyun.

  "Oh, nothing, just taking a stroll. By the way, are you guys here to sign up for Ziyun Academy? I'll take you there." Liang Rouyun came back to her senses, smoothed out her bangs, and said with a hint of embarrassment.

  "It's already gone, and was dismissed ahead of time." Zhuge Mingyue said nonchalantly.

  "What?" Liang Rouyun was momentarily stunned and asked in surprise.

  "I met Zhuge Qinglian and Zhuge Yaxin, then we had a fight." Zhuge Mingyue said simply.

  Without her saying more, Liang Rouyun could also guess what had happened. Last time at Baiyu Academy, the two were already incompatible, and this time they met at Ziyun Academy and got into a fight, which wasn't surprising at all. Zhuge Mingyue's personality was not weak and bullied by others. Liang Rouyun guessed that this time, the fight must have been provoked by Zhuge Qinglian and Zhuge Yaxin again. Thinking that Zhuge Qinglian might have said some hurtful words to insult Zhuge Mingyue, a pang of heartache rose in Liang Rouyun's heart. This girl who was like a scorching sun, Liang Rouyun had a good impression of her.

  "Even if you were fighting, it's not necessarily your fault, why should they expel you? I'm going to reason with them right now." Liang Rouyun said indignantly.

  "No need, Teacher Liang, thank you. To be honest, I didn't really want to go to Ziyun Academy anyway. Besides, sooner or later, I'll still get expelled if I keep running into Zhuge Qinglian and getting into fights with her every time we meet." Zhuge Mingyue smiled graciously, but her words were straightforward. Zhuge Qinglian and Liang Zi had a history of clashing, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they would fight every time they met. Liang Ruyun's previous words had also made Zhuge Mingyue feel more sympathetic towards her, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her.

  "What are you going to do now?" asked Liang Rouyun, and then she blamed herself, "It's all my fault. If I had gone with you, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

  "Are we here to sign up again? Tianfeng Academy!" Zhuge Mingyue smiled and pointed at the Tianfeng Academy, which didn't even have a recruitment sign yet.

  "Tianfeng Academy..." Liang Rouyun looked at the academy with a mixture of surprise, embarrassment, and seemingly joy, her expression strange.

  "Not just them, but me too, I'm here to sign up as well." Ling Feiyang said following that.

  "Ling Feiyang?" Liang Rouyun looked at Ling Feiyang and said uncertainly. How could Ling Feiyang also be here?

  "What's wrong, Teacher Liang? Don't you recognize me?" Ling Feiyang joked with a smile.

  "Ling Feiyang, I heard you weren't going back to Ziyun?" Liang Rouyun asked with some confusion.

  "Yes, I'm back. But since I also got into the fight, I had no choice but to follow him here. Who made me Mingyue's guardian anyway? Sigh!" Ling Feiyang pretended to look troubled, but his eyes were full of amusement.

  "You're actually the Guardian of Zhuge Mingyue!" Liang Rouyun was stunned, she had seen Ling Feiyang at the White Feather Academy last time, but she didn't think about it that way. Now that she knew Ling Feiyang was actually Zhuge Mingyue's Guardian, she was naturally very surprised. The Liang family wasn't inferior either, in the Imperial City they were considered a reputable family with a good background. So she was very clear about the opposing relationship between the Ling and Zhuge families. Now seeing Ling Feiyang become Zhuge Mingyue's Guardian, she was naturally very surprised.

  "Hmm, I'm the guardian of Mingyue. By the way, Teacher Liang, that bald guy Chu Jian is still so arrogant and reckless. He hasn't improved at all." Ling Feiyang shrugged and said with a helpless tone, "He directly cancelled our qualifications without going through the principal's office. I think he's still crying and doesn't know how to solve it now. At first, he even wanted to punish the teacher who recruited us. When he finds out that it was Teacher Liang who recruited you, I'd like to see if he dares to do anything." After saying this, Ling Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude. Liang Ruo Yun is after all the principal of Ziyun Academy's niece. But Chu Jian doesn't know about this matter.

  Liang Rouyun couldn't help but laugh after hearing Ling Feiyang's words. She knew that the principal had high hopes for Ling Feiyang's return, especially with the upcoming Chenlong competition. As a powerful swordsman, Ling Feiyang's participation would greatly increase their chances of winning. Since Ling Feiyang had graduated early and met all the requirements, he was eligible to re-enroll in the academy. Others who were strong but didn't meet the standards wouldn't be able to enroll. It was easy to imagine how furious the principal would be when he found out about Chu Jiandong's good deed.

  Liang Rouyun thought for a moment, then came back to her senses and said: "Then hurry up and sign up, if you're late, you won't be able to find anyone." Liang Rouyun was indeed open-minded and no longer forced Zhuge Mingyue and the others to return to Ziyun Academy with her.

  "Um, Teacher Liang, goodbye." Zhuge Mingyue bid farewell to Liang Rouyun and walked past her towards the Tianfeng Academy.

  Although they failed to enter the Purple Cloud Academy, the few people following Zhuge Mingyue had such a calm expression, their footsteps were so firm, with no hesitation or regret.

  As she watched the few people walking away in the distance, Liang Rouyun felt a sense of melancholy and envy. What if, at that time, she had been as brave as they were? What would it be like now? A thought quietly emerged from the bottom of her heart, like seeds sprouting under spring rain, growing and developing.

  At this time, Director Chu Jian was sweating all over and ran to the principal's office. He had already made a big mistake and needed to think of a way to make up for it. Anyway, he had to put all the blame on Zhuge Mingyue and his group, emphasizing that they didn't take the college seriously at all, and on the first day of reporting, they came to fight and cause trouble. Hmm, that's right.

  In the principal's office, Changsun Changming, the dean of Ziyun College, was talking to someone. Chu Jian ran quickly to the door and knocked hastily, hearing Changsun Changming say "come in" before opening the door and walking in.

  As soon as he entered, he saw Chang Sun Changming and another teacher standing together. When Chang Sun Changming saw Chu Jian enter, his face turned unpleasant. When Chu Jian clearly saw who the other teacher was, his heart sank. This teacher was none other than Li Xiao Li, the most conservative teacher in the college. His world only had black and white, black was black, white was white. Right and wrong were extremely clear, even absolute. He would not cover up for anyone, nor would he frame anyone.

  Looking at the dean's dark, dripping face and Li Xiao's indifferent expression. Chu Jian wailed in his heart, he's done for! Chu Jian understood that what he had thought of saying earlier probably wouldn't work now. That bastard Li Xiao must have told the dean everything that happened earlier.

  "Chu Jian, your guts are getting closer to your body shape." Zhangsun Changming was the principal of Purple Cloud Academy. He was usually gentle and kind to his students, but when it came to his true nature, he had a sharp tongue that didn't mince words.

  "I, the principal, didn't mean to either." Chu Jian's forehead was sweating profusely. It's really unfair to him, Principal, his courage is actually very small. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of offending the Zhuge family? How can it be said that his courage is getting more and more like his body shape? In fact, his body shape isn't very fat, just a little bit. But these words, he didn't dare to say out loud.

  "Isn't it intentional? Then it's deliberate!" Chang Sun Chang Ming raised an eyebrow and asked in a rage.

  "No! Dean, how would I know that Ling Feiyang and those people are in cahoots? I really didn't know. I saw outsiders causing trouble in our college and attacking our students, how could I just stand by and do nothing? It's you who taught us to take good care of our own students." Chu Jian argued, sweating profusely.

  "I didn't know when I gave you the right to arbitrarily cancel students' admission qualifications." Zhangsun Changming was so angry that he really wanted to pounce on Chu Jian's fat neck. But seeing his sweaty appearance, he still dispelled this idea. Not to mention the sweat on one hand, but also the oil on the other hand.

  "Principal, our Ziyun Academy has produced many talents, and losing one Ling Feiyang shouldn't make a big difference, right?" Chu Jian said with an awkward smile, as if comforting himself. "I really didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea Ling Feiyang was with them. If I knew, I definitely wouldn't have done that. Now that things have turned out like this, even if you beat me to death, it can't be changed." Chu Jian seemed to have a 'nothing-to-lose' attitude now.

  "There's still half a year before the Chen Long tournament starts, but I've heard that this year's contestants from other elite academies are much stronger than in previous years. It won't be easy for our Ziyun Academy to get a good ranking this time." Zhang Sun Changming sighed, feeling quite depressed. He also understood what Chu Jian said, and things had already turned out like this. He knew Ling Feiyang's personality very well, and with his proud nature, it was impossible to invite him back now!"

  The Chenlong Competition is a traditional event among the elite academies of various countries in the southern part of the Canglan Continent, where each country's elite academy sends its top students to participate. The competition results have a significant impact on the reputation and prestige of the academy, and even have some influence on the national status. Therefore, both the country and the academy have always attached great importance to it.

  "Dean, Ling Feiyang is indeed a powerful Earth Swordmaster, but... our college also has Earth Swordmasters, right?" Chu Jian was somewhat puzzled. In the Purple Cloud Academy, there were indeed Earth Swordmasters, so why did the Dean place such great importance on this Ling Feiyang?

  "Ling Feiyang rose from a senior swordsman to a grandmaster in less than half a year at our college, and then he graduated early. I'm asking you, is there anyone else in the Purple Cloud College who has grown faster than him?" Zhang Sun looked at Chu Jian with wide eyes. Chu Jian was indeed a pig-headed fool, always missing the point.

  "Ah!" Chu Jian was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully and came to an astonishing conclusion. There really wasn't anyone who had seen a swordsman grow faster than Ling Fei Yang!

  "Never mind, you won't understand even if I tell you. By the way, do you have any news about Ning Huao?" Chang Sun Changming asked. This dead fatty, I'll deal with him later. Chang Sun Changming gritted his teeth secretly in his heart.

  "I've just received news that Young Master Changsun is already on his way back and has arrived at Honglin City." Bald-headed Zhu Jian hastily replied. Changsun Ninghao was the grandson of Changsun Changming, and had always been known as the number one summoner among the Ziyun Academy students.

  "That's good, you go down first." Zhangsun Changming waved his hand impatiently, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental: If Ling Feiyang didn't leave, relying on his cooperation with Zhangsun Ninghuan, even if the other national elite academies were stronger this time, it wouldn't be difficult for Ziyun Academy to get a good ranking, and there was even hope of winning the championship. Alas, what a pity! This damn fatty, see how he cleans up his own mess later.

  Li Xiao and others pushed Chu Jian out, then slowly said: "Director, do you want to go find Ling Feiyang again?"

  "It's all over. Don't you know Ling Feiyang's personality? "Changsun Changming sighed lightly, "A person as proud as him, will he come back again? I just hope he won't become our student, nor a student of any other college. I don't want him to be against us. Otherwise, it'll be big trouble."

  Li Xiao fell silent after listening. He understood that every word Long Sun said made sense. Ling Feiyang would not be able to come back again. Moreover, he hoped that Ling Feiyang wouldn't fight for another college. Otherwise, it would really be a headache.

  ……

  Zhuge Mingyue and his group had already arrived at the entrance of Tianfeng Academy.

  "Those who are looking for someone, please enter directly, and those who are signing up, register. The registration fee for intermediate and below is five gold coins..." Seeing Zhuge Mingyue and others, the thin old man raised his head and repeated the words he had already repeated countless times. However, now, no one dares to underestimate him anymore.

  "They're worth two to five gold coins, I'm free, he can decide when to leave himself." Before the old man could finish speaking, Zhuge Mingyue interrupted him and pointed at Xue Zihao and Wan Qichen, then pointed at herself and finally at Ling Feiyang.

  The old man was stunned and asked incredulously, "They are intermediate, you are advanced, and he is earth level?"

  Zhuge Mingyue nodded slightly.

  The old man widened his eyes, looking at them incredulously. Then he jumped out and let them show off. After determining their level, the old man coughed softly: "Hmmm, since you're sure what you said is true, then pay ten gold coins and go in. The dormitory is over there, take this well. This is our college emblem. I don't care if you pin it on your head as a hairpin or on your clothes, pants, or even shoes, just pin it well so people can see that you're students of Tianfeng College. Go to the dormitory to report."

  "Thank you, teacher." Zhuge Mingyue and the others put away their badges, and Old Man Chong nodded in gratitude.

  "Ah, all of you come in." The old man had a dignified appearance.

  Zhuge Mingyue and his group slowly walked towards the dormitory. The old man sat on the chair, looking at the names registered above. Zhuge Mingyue, Ling Feiyang, Wan Qi Chen, Xue Zihao...

  Hehehe, the old man's eyes narrowed into a line in an instant, where no one else could see. Not bad, not bad, these few people are quite capable. Especially with a great earth swordsman. Ling Feiyang... wait! Isn't he that genius from the Ling family? Didn't he graduate early from Ziyun Academy? How did he end up at their Tianfeng Academy?

  The old man blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. Never mind, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, coming to Tianfeng Academy is a good thing. Just wait and see how things go. Now that we've entered the gates of Tianfeng Academy, even if we want to drop out, there's no way, let alone any windows!

  ……

  The dormitory of Tianfeng Academy was also brand new, with two small buildings standing side by side. One building was the girls' dormitory and the other was the boys' dormitory. Zhuge Mingyue went to report at the girls' dormitory herself. After reporting, the only one dorm mother arranged her in a room on the second floor with excellent lighting. Zhuge Mingyue looked around the dormitory and was very satisfied. There were only two beds, good lighting, a small balcony, separate desks, wardrobes, and a clean bathroom. She thought every dormitory was like this when the dorm mother said: "You are a high-level summoner, so you live in a double room."

  "Huh?" Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback, then immediately understood, "What about the mid-range rooms that accommodate four people? The deluxe rooms that accommodate one person? What about those below mid-range?"

  "Eight people in a room. Once you upgrade, you'll be transferred to another dormitory immediately." The housekeeper said calmly, "This is the school rule. No matter how much money you pay, you won't get a single room. For now, you don't have any roommates yet, and when someone else checks in, they will be arranged to stay with you. The cafeteria is in that two-story small building on the right side of the dormitory building."

  The dormitory aunt handed the key to Zhuge Mingyue and left. Zhuge Mingyue looked around the house, very satisfied. Thinking that she would move her luggage over later. In the dormitory, everything was ready, including white bedding, all very clean.

  Because he didn't bring any gifts, Zhuge Mingyue also didn't take much, summoned the parrot and went downstairs.

  "Master, where is this? The scenery isn't bad, it's just not luxurious enough." The parrot perched on Zhuge Mingyue's head, chirping and evaluating. The parrot was often summoned by Zhuge Mingyue because he had requested it himself. He said that being outside wouldn't consume his lifespan. Later, Zhuge Mingyue discovered that summoning the parrot didn't consume much of her spiritual energy, but instead felt like a form of training for her spiritual energy. So, she let the parrot out to play.

  "This is the new academy I'm attending, called Tianfeng Academy." Zhuge Mingyue said calmly.

  "Oh, master, master, I'll go take a look around the surroundings." The parrot said, and then flapped its wings and flew out.

  "If you dare to cause trouble for me, I'll pluck out all your feathers." Zhuge Mingyue said viciously from behind. The parrot's mouth was something she understood best.

  "Master, you're so annoying, why do you always say 'strip' whenever you move?" The parrot's coquettish voice gradually faded away as it flapped its wings and flew off.

  Out of the dormitory, Zhuge Mingyue took a look at the distance. The environment of this college is indeed very elegant. In the distance was that huge lake whose name she already knew, called Zijing Lake.

  The college is not big, but there seem to be even fewer people, so it's very quiet. Zhuge Mingyue strolled slowly along the lake, with a gentle breeze blowing in, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of grass. The parrot flew back, flapping its wings, and perched on Zhuge Mingyue's head, hanging its head and saying: "Master, what kind of place is this? There isn't even a beautiful woman. Let alone a beautiful woman, I've been flying for half a day, and I haven't seen many people."

  "This is a newly opened academy, and there are still few people, it's normal." Zhuge Mingyue explained nonchalantly, gazing at the swaying reeds by the lake. Unbeknownst to her, her mood began to lift.

  "Oh." The parrot was still a bit dejected. "By the way, Master, I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

  "What time is it now?" Zhuge Mingyue looked up at the sky, and it was still early. It wasn't even time for dinner yet, "What do you want to eat?"

  "I liked that pastry Ling Shao bought last time." The parrot's two small eyes blinked repeatedly, almost drooling at the corners of its mouth.

  " Chestnut cake?" Zhuge Mingyue suddenly remembered. The taste of that chestnut cake was really good, it's just that too many people bought it, and you had to line up.

  "Master, let's go buy it, call out the storm, we'll be back soon." The parrot's eyes shone brightly as he came up with a plan.

  Zhuge Mingyue thought for a moment, nodded, and summoned a hurricane.

  "Master?" The hurricane yawned and looked around, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

  "Go, Hurricane, I'll buy you chicken legs." Zhuge Mingyue didn't think it was shameful to bribe the simple-minded Hurricane at all.

  At the sound of chicken legs, the amber-colored eyes of the hurricane instantly emitted a green light, and he licked his mouth: "Well, master, come on up. Show the way!"

  Zhuge Mingyue deftly mounted the wind leopard and then commanded it to run towards the city. Since the academy hadn't started classes yet, there weren't many people around, and now there were even fewer. So she ran all the way out without anyone seeing her. Like this, Zhuge Mingyue headed straight for the city center. On the road, people who saw her couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement - someone was actually using a wind leopard as a mount, which was unprecedented. Zhuge Mingyue didn't notice these reactions and instead went to buy ten chicken legs for the wind leopard before lining up at a pastry shop.

  It's almost evening, and there aren't many people queuing at the pastry shop, only three. Zhuge Mingyue rode up on his motorcycle, taking last place in line. The person standing in front of Zhuge Mingyue felt the motorcycle's rumble, and his legs started shaking nonstop. Hearing the crisp sound of the motorcycle savoring a chicken leg, he even began to shake his thighs. He was afraid that the leopard behind him would mistake him for a chicken leg to chew on.

  He finally couldn't help it, turned his head and said cautiously: "Miss, I'm not in a hurry, you can go ahead of me, I don't mind." He spoke without any pause. Why? Afraid.

  "No need, I'm not in a hurry, it's okay. We're almost there." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and stuffed another chicken leg into the Storm Chaser, "Don't be afraid, my Storm Chaser won't attack people without my orders. Don't look at its fierce appearance, it's actually very well-behaved." After saying that, Zhuge Mingyue patted the Storm Chaser's head. The Storm Chaser narrowed its eyes and chewed on the chicken leg, completely ignoring Zhuge Mingyue's words.

  That man swallowed hard, glanced at the hurricane's gleaming fangs, and silently turned his head away, but inside he was crying in the wind. Brother ahead, hurry up with buying pastries, I'm about to collapse.

  The two people in front seemed to have heard his thoughts, and quickly bought the pastries and left. The man also hastily made his purchase, didn't even bother to wait for his change, and fled in a hurry. Zhuge Mingyue rode up on her motorcycle: "Boss, give me three packages of chestnut cake, one package of red bean cake, one package of green bean cake, oh, and three packages of rose cake too."

  "Alright, alright..." The boss replied somewhat awkwardly. It was the first time he had seen someone ride a magical creature to buy things, and it was such an impressive one at that.

  The boss quickly packaged the pastries for Zhuge Mingyue, who paid and rode her hurricane back to the mansion. She brought the pastries to Duanmu Xian and instructed Blue Butler to send their gifts to Tianfeng Academy tomorrow. Before leaving, Duanmu Xian looked at her with pleading eyes, making Zhuge Mingyue feel uneasy. She wondered if Tianfeng Academy would make an exception for Duanmu Xian, considering his age might not be enough. Maybe she should go ask that old man again.

  The sky gradually darkened, Zhuge Mingyue rode on the wind, holding a rice cake, walking and eating, throwing one to the head, the parrot accurately caught it with its mouth.

  "Master, this is delicious! Let's buy it again next time." The parrot ate with relish and smacked its beak.

  "Uh-huh." Zhuge Mingyue had no resistance to delicious food either, and readily agreed. "Let's go, Whirlwind, let's head back." Whirlwind swallowed the last chicken leg, sprang into action with all four limbs, and shot out like an arrow. The parrot almost fell off Zhuge Mingyue's head, causing it to squawk angrily.

  Zhuge Mingyue departed, in a small alley, two young men were discussing something. Suddenly, one of the young men in fine clothes looked up and stared at the entrance of the alley in shock, was he seeing things? Someone was riding a Wind Leopard?

  "What's wrong?" Another young man asked with some confusion. If Zhuge Mingyue saw this young man, he would find that the young man was actually Luo Jingfeng. The Luo Jingfeng who had appeared in Cangfeng City with Ling Feiyang before was a good friend of Ling Feiyang's, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say a sworn enemy.

  "Oh, never mind, just a gust of wind. Let's go." The young man in fine clothes thought to himself that he might have really been seeing things. Had he been infected by his own sister's romantic stories? Lately, she had been telling him all sorts of fantastical tales, and now he was having hallucinations, thinking he saw a beautiful girl riding a wind leopard. It must have been an illusion - who would ride a magical creature? And what kind of magical creature would lose its dignity and serve as a mount for its master? He should go back and tell his sister to tone it down, reading all those strange books was bad enough, but now she was even reciting them in front of him, causing him to have hallucinations too.

  Two people discussed things and slowly left.

  ……

  Zhuge Mingyue rode the hurricane back to Tianfeng Academy very quickly, and after summoning the hurricane that had eaten its fill, she walked towards the dormitory building. As soon as she arrived at the foot of the building, she saw Ling Feiyang and two others waiting for her. As soon as they saw her coming, all three of them came forward to greet her.

  "Moonlight, where have you gone?" Ling Feiyang asked.

  "I went to buy some pastries. I also stopped by our house and asked Blue to send over the gifts for tomorrow." Zhuge Mingyue waved the pastries in her hand and handed them to Wan Qi Chen, who was delighted. "By the way, I want to find the principal and see if he can make an exception to admit Xuanxuan. She's very talented and it's also lonely for her to be at home by herself." Zhuge Mingyue expressed her thoughts.

  "It's also true that Xuanxuan is indeed lonely at home." Ling Feiyang nodded.

  "Hmm, let's go talk to the principal." Xue Zihao was one of the people closest to Duanmu Xun, aside from Zhuge Mingyue and Duanmu Xun herself. He had always been diligent in teaching Duanmu Xun, who was a quick learner and clever. Unbeknownst to him, he had already grown to care for Duanmu Xun like his own little sister.

  "Plastic, is it Dean Water?" asked Wan Xi Chen, biting into a pastry and speaking unclearly. They still didn't know who the dean was after all.

  "The Dean is in that building. Burp……" The parrot opened its mouth, finished speaking and let out a full burp. It glanced at Wan Qi Chen with slanted eyes, if the young master hadn't eaten his fill, where would you have gotten your share? He had flown all over the academy before, of course he knew where the Dean's office was.

  "Let's eat first," Ling Feiyang said, "After dinner, we'll go find the principal and talk to him."

  The school canteen was a two-story small building, the first floor served meals and the second floor sold some snacks. When they arrived, there were already some students eating. The food was cheap and tasted good.

  "This school doesn't even know who founded it." Ling Feiyang said while eating, "The tuition is cheap, and the food is also cheap. It's clearly targeting ordinary people." Originally, a big family like Ling Feiyang's would not speak of food or sleep, but after being with Zhuge Mingyue and the others, Ling Feiyang felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, so he no longer restrained himself. He was indeed very curious in his heart, wondering who founded this school.

  At this moment, two people appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria. Ling Feiyang looked up and saw them. One was the old man who had been in charge of registration at the door before, and the other was someone he knew.

  "Teacher Wen?" Ling Feiyang was somewhat surprised.

  Wen Yi and Yue Bo Wen at the door also saw Ling Fei Yang and others, Wen Yi smiled and walked over, while Yue Bo Wen went to buy food.

  "Teacher Wen, how did you end up here? I heard you resigned, I thought you..." Ling Feiyang was puzzled. He had only heard that Teacher Wen had resigned and assumed he went back to accept the arrangements of his family, but instead he came here to be a teacher. The Wen family wasn't considered a big family, Teacher Wen's father was an official of the second rank in the current dynasty, with relatively good connections.

  "This college was founded by me." Wen Yi's words made Ling Fei Yang even more surprised.

  After sitting down, Wen Yi smiled at the crowd: "I saw your name on the form, and at first I thought it was a namesake, but when I looked at the registration, it was a Grandmaster swordsman, so I knew it must be you. Is this Zhuge Mingyue?"

  "Hello, Dean." Zhuge Mingyue and Wan Qi Chen, Xue Zihao all greeted politely. I really didn't expect that the somewhat thin young man in front of me was actually the dean of this college.

  "I really didn't expect to receive you, I'm actually very happy that you can come to Tianfeng Academy." Wen Yi smiled, "Tianfeng Academy has just started, with you here, I feel much more at ease." Wen Yi did not ask them why they came to Tianfeng Academy, but instead smiled and discussed the upcoming course arrangements with them.

  "There aren't many students in the academy right now. I originally thought of dividing you into three grades: beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. However, with only over thirty students in the academy, I think it's better to have everyone learn together. Tomorrow, please report to the classroom. By the way, my teaching style is very strict."

  Strict? What kind of strict law is this? Many people are curious now.

  Anyway, Zhuge Mingyue and the others felt that the principal was not bad. While eating and chatting, Zhuge Mingyue brought up the matter of whether Duanmu Xun could be exceptionally admitted. Wen Yi thought for a moment before saying: "It's not impossible, as long as she can persist in our course, there's no problem. However, once she fails to persist, we will never give her another chance."

  Zhuge Mingyue nodded vigorously with joy: "Definitely, definitely, thank you Dean."

  On the second day, Zhuge Mingyue and others went to the classroom to report, and found that there were indeed only over thirty people, and their strengths were uneven. The teacher had not arrived yet, and the classroom was in a state of chaos, with new students enthusiastically discussing among themselves. However, judging from their clothes, they did not appear to be wealthy, and should all be commoners. When Zhuge Mingyue and his group entered, everyone in the classroom stared blankly at them. The four of them were indeed very eye-catching. Zhuge Mingyue was tall and handsome, with a cold and unapproachable aura when he wasn't smiling. Ling Feiyang's face was even more stunning, and his occasional charming smile could almost capture the hearts of girls directly. Xue Zihao belonged to the type of sunny and handsome guy, with slightly dark skin that made people want to get close to him at first glance. And Wan Qichen was a bit chubby, but had an okay face as well. The effect caused by these four walking in together was naturally extraordinary.

  After the four of them came in, they sat down in the corner on the right side of the classroom and were discussing something in a low voice. Many people couldn't help but steal glances at them out of the corner of their eyes, some wanting to strike up a conversation, but somehow feeling that the four of them seemed like one entity, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

  Before long, Wen Yi and Yue Bo appeared, with a man with a doll-like face behind them. He smiled, revealing eight white teeth.

  "Everyone, hello, welcome to Tianfeng Academy. I am Principal Wen Yi, this is your swordsmanship teacher Yue Bohun, and this is your archery teacher Xue Changge." Wen Yi stood on the podium, first welcoming the students, "You have all read the school rules, so you should understand our purpose. What I want to say is that our curriculum is unimaginably tough, if you can't keep up now, you can quit. Our goal is to cultivate the most elite students, one day we will surely make a name for ourselves, and we will definitely make the academy proud of you, and you will be proud of the academy."

  Wen Yi's words instead further ignited the fighting spirit of the crowd. Wen Yi looked at the students below, who were all full of vigor and vitality, and felt both relieved and worried in his heart. He was relieved that the students below were all full of confidence, but he was also worried that he didn't know how many colleges could hold on.

  After distributing some books, Wen Yi waved his hand and let everyone go to the martial arts arena in the back to report tomorrow morning, and officially start teaching the next day.

  Zhuge Mingyue went back to pick up Duanmu Xun. Originally, she wanted to ask the housekeeper to send all the luggage over, but the four of them had asked for leave and gone back to pack their bags. The mansion was spotless after being cleaned, and when they returned home, they found that Lan, the housekeeper, had already arranged for all their luggage to be packed. They found Duanmu Xun and told her that she could also attend Tianfeng Academy, but Duanmu Xun couldn't believe her ears. In her opinion, as an orphan with no status, it was impossible for her to enter the academy in her lifetime, but Zhuge Mingyue had brought her such good news.

  "Really? Sister, can I really get into the academy?" Du Mu Xuan only felt that her eyes were very sour, could she really go to the academy to study?

  "Of course." Zhuge Mingyue gently patted Du Mu Xuan's little head, although after following her, Zhuge Mingyue had properly supplemented her body, but she was still very frail. A ten-year-old child looked like a seven or eight year old. Hmm, need to continue supplementing, Zhuge Mingyue secretly decided in her heart.

  "Of course it's true." Xue Zihao looked at Duanmu Xun's palm-sized face, and felt a little heartache. This child was always so sensible. Being sensible made people heartache.

  Du Mu Xuan finally confirmed that he was not dreaming and jumped up excitedly.

  "However, the academy's courses are very tough. If you can't keep up, there won't be another chance." said Zhuge Mingyue.

  "I'll definitely keep going!" said Tuanmu Xun, clenching her small fist solemnly.

  In this way, the two horse-drawn carriages carried them and their luggage to Tianfeng Academy. Du Mu Xuan was assigned to an eight-person dormitory, and the dorm mother said expressionlessly that this was the rule. However, before leaving, she dropped another sentence: Du Mu Xuan could temporarily live with Zhuge Mingyue since there were still many empty dormitories. Zhuge Mingyue looked at the departing back of the dorm mother and secretly smiled to herself, thinking that this woman actually had a kind heart.

  Duanmu Xun was delighted to be able to live with Zhuge Mingyue again, and she was busy decorating the house.

  ……

  Although Wen Yi had said before that the courses of Tianfeng College would be very difficult, Zhuge Mingyue did not expect it to be so difficult.

  Wen Yi was a summoner, so he took all the courses for teaching summoners. The arena had many obstacles set up, including mud pits. Zhuge Mingyue thought they were for swordsmen to train their physical strength. But soon she found out she was wrong.

  Wen Yi requires all summoners to recite incantations while jumping over obstacles, and also be able to quickly recite incantations when affected by external factors.

  "Teacher, aren't we Guardians? Do we need this?" a boy with a puzzled expression asked.

  "Under the same conditions, a Guardian is equal to another Guardian of similar strength. If a Summoner is disturbed at this moment and their emotions are unstable, they cannot summon their contracted beast in time, while the opponent can ignore these disturbances and quickly chant the spell to summon their contracted beast, then is there still any suspense in this battle?" Wen Yi's face sank, "Summoners do need the protection of Guardians, I'm not saying that Guardians are not doing their job. But what if something unexpected happens? We can't predict anything. Blind confidence or over-reliance will only put yourself and your companions in danger. This is my first and last answer to your questions. If you can't train according to my requirements from now on, then please leave Tianfeng Academy." By the end, Wen Yi's tone had become very severe.

  The students suddenly fell silent, although Wen Yi's tone was severe, but had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.

  So, the trainees began their intense training. Not only were the summoners, swordsmen, and archers trained to death, but also the others who were being drilled. Wen Yi had previously worried that many would quit due to the intensity of the training, but contrary to his expectations, none of the 33 trainees dropped out, including the youngest, Duanmu Xun! The reason why not a single trainee dropped out was largely because of Duanmu Xun. Since such a young girl could persist, which of the other trainees would dare to give up and be inferior to her?

  In the evening, the students who had been studying hard all day ended their study and took a stroll in the campus to rest. Zhuge Mingyue and several others were sitting on a bench near the school gate by the lake, discussing what they had learned today.

  "My whole body hurts so much." Wan Xi Chen twisted his meaty belly, crying with a sad face. The crazy training of the past few days made him speechless. He liked to eat but didn't like exercise, otherwise he wouldn't have been slightly chubby.

  "It has a weight loss effect, it's not bad." Xue Zihao gave Wan Qichen a glance.

  "Eat less, exercise more, and you'll have a great figure. So, give me all the snacks you've been hiding." The parrot squawked loudly as it flew onto Wan Qi Chen's head and perched itself there.

  "What is a well-proportioned figure?" Wan Xi Chen's hair stood on end, and he stretched out his hand to grab the parrot. The parrot let out a loud laugh and flapped its wings, flying up and not allowing Wan Xi Chen to catch it.

  Du Mu Xuan sat quietly beside him, while Xue Zi Hao was explaining some complex knowledge from today's class to her. Ling Fei Yang had a reed in his mouth, with both hands holding his head and leaning on the chair, looking at the distant sunset. The sunset reflected off the lake surface, making it look incredibly beautiful. Zhuge Ming Yue had been trained rigorously all day and was exhausted, also sitting down to rest.

  Just then, a discordant voice suddenly came from the doorway, disturbing their rest.

  "Get that old bastard out here, or I'll smash this crappy school!" At the entrance of the academy, a young man around 18-19 years old stood proudly with one foot high on the stone steps, shouting loudly. Judging from his luxurious attire, he was probably also an official's son, but his words revealed a strong gangster-like tone. Behind him followed a group of similarly dressed young men, all standing behind the young man in a typical lackey pose.

  After hearing his words, the students all showed a look of indignation, but most of them dared not speak out. They were just children from ordinary families and did not dare to conflict with this kind of aristocratic young master unless absolutely necessary.

  "You stay here, I'll go inform the principal." The guards invited by the college saw that things were not going well and took off running towards the college. As for whether they actually went to inform the principal or ran off somewhere else, no one knew.

  "Hey, can you hear me? You few, quickly go and get that old scoundrel Yue Bohun out here. If not, I'll beat all of you together!" The man, seeing no one dared to respond, became even more arrogant, kicking the large door with a loud thud, pointing at several students and shouting. The several young masters following behind him rolled up their sleeves, looking excited and eager to pounce into action.

  Unfortunately, among those people he was referring to were Zhuge Mingyue and their group, who happened to be sitting near the school gate.

  Upon hearing his words, Zhuge Mingyue coldly gazed over at him.

  That man finally saw the appearance of Zhuge Mingyue clearly, and his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Such an exquisite face was rarely seen even in the entire capital city. This person's heart began to itch like a cat scratching. He was originally someone who would think of teasing beautiful women whenever he saw them. Everyone in the capital knew what kind of person he was.

  "Hey, little sister, go call out that old scoundrel Yuebaoren. If not, brother will get angry and might hit someone. You're such a delicate beauty, if I accidentally hit the wrong place, don't blame brother." The man's eyes gleamed with malice as he scanned Zuge Mingyue up and down, unable to resist teasing her, then burst out laughing loudly. The group of spoiled brats behind him also followed suit, erupting into a fit of wild laughter. Ling Feiyang had his back turned to them, so naturally they didn't see that Ling Feiyang was also there... Ah, what a great mistake is brewing, what a great mistake..."

  "Looking for death!" Zhuge Mingyue's face turned cold.

  Ling Feiyang listened to the conversation between the two, without turning his head, and just slightly shook his head. This shake of the head was in sympathy. Sympathy for that guy who teased Zhuge Mingyue. What a tragedy this person is, daring to tease Zhuge Mingyue, isn't he tired of living? However, why does this person's voice seem somewhat familiar?

  "Zhuge Mingyue, don't mind him, this person's family has a lot of power in the capital." A female student quietly pulled Zhuge Mingyue and reminded her in a low voice. This female student had seen this guy named Yuan Shihao before, his reputation in the capital was not good at all. He often flirted with respectable women, but because he was the younger brother of the current emperor's favorite concubine, Yuan Wenyu, nothing big happened and no one dared to bother him.

  "Thank you." Zhuge Mingyue gave a grateful smile to that girl.

  "Wow, it's still spicy, I like it. Little beauty, do you want to introduce yourself?" Yuan Shi Hao walked towards Zhuge Mingyue with a sly smile on his face. He was also surprised in his heart, not expecting that this broken Tianfeng Academy would have such a beautiful female student. Before finding trouble with Yue Bo, it wouldn't be bad to take advantage of this beauty first. A group of young masters behind him were also smiling and following to watch the excitement.

  "Yes." Zhuge Mingyue smiled radiantly. Looking at Yuan Shihao's heart was fluttering.

  Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zi Hao were secretly laughing on one side, every time they saw Zhuge Mingyue smile so brightly, someone was going to be unlucky. Ling Fei Yang still didn't turn around, because at this moment he remembered who this guy was. It was Yuan Shi Hao, a typical spoiled rich kid, lecherous, fond of gambling, eating, drinking and having fun, just short of visiting brothels. Because he was the brother of the current favored concubine Yuan Wen Er, the favored concubine's brother going to brothels every day wouldn't sound good if it got out, damaging the favored concubine's image. So even though he really wanted to visit brothels, his family didn't allow it. This made the lecherous him even more miserable. Therefore, usually on the streets, flirting with respectable women was a common occurrence for him. After Ling Fei Yang remembered Yuan Shi Hao's identity, he wasn't in a hurry anymore. He also prepared to watch the excitement.

  "May I ask what is the name of this beautiful young lady?" Yuan Shih-hao asked with a smile that he thought was very debonair.

  "My name is Yiniang." Zhuge Mingyue smiled.

  "Auntie?" Yuan Shi Hao was taken aback, subconsciously calling out, but then felt that something wasn't right.

  "Alright, okay." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and agreed.

  "Silly, silly, big silly." The parrot circled above Zhuge Mingyue's head, loudly cawing with laughter.

  Yuan Shihao's face suddenly turned a sickly pale color. This little wench, actually dared to take advantage of him, and this fat bird, actually dared to mock him.

  "Bring it down, roast it!" Yuan Shihao furiously waved his hand, signaling the younger brothers behind him to set up their bows and shoot down the fat parrot. After giving the order, he was about to reach out and grab Zhuge Mingyue's wrist. Whoever dared to take advantage of him would be taken advantage of in return, and he would make sure to get his revenge.

  However, he grabbed nothing but air. Zhuge Mingyue's swift slap landed on his face. Yuan Shihao's face instantly swelled up, and he covered it with his hands, wailing in agony. He had been hit! And by a woman, no less!

  "What are you still dazing about, catch him for me!" Yuan Shi Hao yelled loudly, covering his face and quickly retreating backwards. The dog legs behind him immediately swarmed up.

  Wan Qichen didn't hesitate for a moment, took out the bottle of strength-enhancing medicine and gulped it down. Under Zhuge Mingyue's influence, Wan Qichen had developed the good habit of taking medicine before fighting.

  "Shi Quan Da Bu Wan" was swallowed, and Wan Xi Chen once again possessed the Diamond Body. With a refreshed spirit, he rushed forward and slapped one of the laughing young masters to the ground with a loud slap. After this period of devil training, Wan Xi Chen's close combat ability had also been greatly improved. While fiercely punching, he didn't forget to chant the summoning spell in his mind.

  The other students were momentarily stunned, looking at each other and then pounced on them. Zhuge Mingyue was actually the most idle one, staring blankly at this scene, somewhat unable to react. These students, all from commoner backgrounds, did not want to be enemies with the nobles if they could help it. But today, for her sake, they had all stood up.

  These young masters were originally not strong, and when it came to actual combat, they couldn't compare to these young disciples who trained hard with Wen Yi every day. They were quickly knocked to the ground one by one, covering their heads and wailing in despair.

  Before Wan Xizhen could summon the Earth Armor Beast, the battle had already reached its final stage. With Yuan Shihao at the forefront, all the young masters were beaten until their faces were bruised and bloody, with no one able to get back up.

  "Alright, stop it!" Zhuge Mingyue saw that if they continued fighting, someone would get killed, so she stopped the students who were in the midst of a fierce battle and walked up to Yuan Shihao. "Do you still want to find our teacher Yue? Are you sure you can beat him? Oh, by the way, my name is Zhuge Mingyue, feel free to come and take revenge anytime."

  "You... you... Zhuge Mingyue, I'm not done with you yet." Yuan Shihao cowered on the ground, backing away in fear, but refusing to back down.

  "Isn't this Young Master Yuan? Who are you not finished with?" Ling Feiyang's lazy voice rang out, and he slowly walked up. Previously, he had been leisurely hiding on the side to watch the excitement. This Yuan Shihao guy had been beaten quite a few times by them. It was said that they were arch-enemies, but it wasn't an exaggeration at all. Yuan Shihao was the type of person who became more courageous after being defeated. After losing many times to Ling Feiyang and Luo Jingfeng, he would challenge them again and again. Unyielding, his spirit was worthy of praise. Ling Feiyang looked at Yuan Shihao on the ground and put on a very pitiful expression. "Too tragic, how did Young Master Yuan get beaten so badly? Alas... Mingyue, does your hand hurt? Some people's faces are thick, I'm afraid you might have hit your hand in pain." Ling Feiyang's previous words seemed to be showing concern for Yuan Shihao, but the latter part of his sentence almost made Yuan Shihao vomit blood, and the surrounding people couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was really a ruthless remark.

  "Ling Fei Yang?!" Yuan Shihao was stunned when he saw Ling Fei Yang appear. How did this Ling Fei Yang end up here? Was the news that he would be returning to Zi Yun Academy to study false? At this time, many students of Zi Yun Academy still didn't know about the unexpected turn of events from that day's group fight.

  "What's up, long time no see, miss me?" Ling Feiyang stepped forward two steps and stood beside Zhuge Mingyue.

  I'd like to screw your mother! I'd like to beat you until you're searching for teeth all over the ground! Yuan Shihao cursed viciously in his heart. But this was only limited to his inner thoughts, he didn't dare say it out loud.

  "How did you end up here?" Yuan Shihao climbed up, observing Ling Feiyang and Zhuge Mingyue. He thought to himself, what's the relationship between Ling Feiyang and this Zhuge Mingyue girl?

  "I'm a student here." Ling Feiyang replied very seriously, "You're looking for trouble with my teacher again and hit my classmate. What do you think I should do?"

  Yuan Shihao's face changed colors like a chameleon, turning red, green and white, before he finally blurted out: "What do you want?"

  "What about you?" Ling Feiyang looked at Yuan Shihao's disheveled group, actually didn't think of doing anything else, and didn't want to hit anyone again. So he just said, "You, take your people and get out of here immediately. Don't show up here again. Next time we meet, we'll fight again, got it?"

  Yuan Shi Hao gave Ling Fei Yang a resentful glance, turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go!" He led his group of younger brothers to run away with a whoosh. Even after running far away, he still looked back at Ling Fei Yang and Zhuge Ming Yue, still wondering about Zhuge Ming Yue's identity. Seeing Ling Fei Yang and Zhuge Ming Yue chatting and laughing together, Yuan Shi Hao became even more determined to go investigate the identity of this girl who was so close to Ling Fei Yang. After all, the playboy Ling Fei Yang in the capital city seemed to be charming and courteous to every girl he met. But Yuan Shi Hao knew very well that it was because Ling Fei Yang didn't have any feelings for those women, which was why he treated them like that. His intuition told him that Zhuge Ming Yue standing beside Ling Fei Yang was different from the others in his eyes. If that's the case... Humph! Yuan Shi Hao sneered coldly to himself.

  Yuan Shihao led the crowd in a frantic departure.

  The students of Tianfeng Academy looked at the back of Yuan Shihao and others, but no one spoke. Ling Feiyang turned his head to look at everyone: "Don't worry about him taking revenge, if he dares to take action against you, I won't let him go." Everyone's heart was put at ease. With Ling Feiyang's guarantee, what else were they afraid of?

  After everyone had dispersed, Zhuge Mingyue curiously asked Ling Feiyang: "By the way, are you very familiar with that Yuan Shihao?"

  "Of course I'm familiar with him, I used to beat him up all the time with Jing Feng, how could I not be familiar?" Ling Fei Yang laughed.

  Wan Qi Chen and others heard this, couldn't help but laugh, and were delighted.

  "By the way, Feiyang, do you know why they came to Tianfeng Academy to cause trouble and specifically targeted Teacher Yue?" Xue Zihao asked.

  "I've heard a bit about this," Ling Feiyang thought for a moment before saying, "Yuan Shihao used to be a student at Ziyun Academy. He relied on his family's wealth and power to act arrogant and domineering after graduation. Once, he even openly harassed a female student. A new teacher who had just arrived couldn't stand it and beat him up severely. Later, the incident blew up, and the academy asked the teacher to apologize, but the teacher was also very stubborn and refused to apologize, even if it meant being expelled from the academy. If I'm not mistaken, our Teacher Yue should be that teacher who was expelled back then? However, this happened after I had already graduated, so I don't know the details of what really happened. I just heard people talking about it."

  "But is Yuan Shi Hao's brain not working properly? With him and his followers, their strength is so weak, coming to find trouble with Teacher Yue, isn't that just asking for a beating? In the past, Teacher Yue dared to beat him, now he should be even more daring, right?" Wan Qi Chen was shocked by Yuan Shi Hao's brain circuitry, how did it grow like this, to have such a strange way of thinking.

  "He's really not smart enough, or else he wouldn't keep coming to get beaten by us again and again." Ling Feiyang shrugged helplessly. "Never try to understand the thinking of a fool, otherwise you'll become arrogant and think you're the smartest person in the world."

  Zhuge Mingyue and the others were all amused by Ling Feiyang's words. Thinking about it, this Yuan Shihao was indeed a rare treasure.

  Everyone thought it was over, including Ling Feiyang. Because every time Yuan Shihao was beaten and cried back to complain, he was scolded even more severely. Old Master Yuan was not a fool, he couldn't bear the shame of his own grandson being beaten by others and going home to tattle, asking adults to intervene on his behalf. However, this time Yuan Shihao was clever and put Ling Feiyang and Zhuge Mingyue at a disadvantage.

  After Yuan Shihao left, he had someone investigate what kind of person Zhuge Mingyue was and why Ling Feiyang treated her so differently. When the results came out, he was shocked. The illegitimate daughter of the Zhuge family turned out to be the child of that wild woman his aunt hated. It turned out that Yuan Shihao and Yuan Shuhui were relatives, with Yuan Shuhui being the younger sister of Yuan Shihao's mother. And Zhuge Mingyue had a deep relationship with Ling Feiyang; they were originally supposed to attend Ziyun Academy together but got into a fight with Zhuge Qinglian on the first day and lost their admission qualifications, so they went to Tianfeng Academy instead. The Ling and Zhuge families had never gotten along, yet Ling Feiyang did all this for Zhuge Mingyue...the relationship between these two was quite something.

  Yuan Shihao was overjoyed the more he thought about it. He didn't like Yuan Shu-hui and Chu Ching-lien, one being his aunt and the other his cousin. Because whenever Yuan Shu-hui saw him, she would lecture him nonstop, saying that he didn't know how to improve himself. Chu Ching-lien was even more condescending, every time they met, she would raise her chin and ignore him with disdain. These two women were really detestable!

  So, Yuan Shihao came up with a brilliant idea that would kill two birds with one stone. It could make Ling Feiyang suffer and at the same time infuriate Yuan Shuhui and Zhuge Qinglian.

  That's it, he decided to go into the palace to find his beloved sister, Yuan Wen'er, and let her ask the emperor for a marriage decree! Let Zhuge Mingyue marry him! He didn't like Zhuge Mingyue's personality, but Zhuge Mingyue's face was not bad, besides, as long as she entered the door, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted? Yuan Shihao was getting more and more excited, feeling that he was very clever.
