Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan were utterly repulsed by Murong Rufeng. People who threw their weight around using their family's influence were inherently inferior, yet he acted so smugly. It was simply unbearable.
Just being there was torture. Both girls listened absently to Lin Ling's lecture on Cultivation, hoping the class would end soon so they could leave.
After about an hour, Lin Ling concluded her lecture for the day. She wrote down so of the key points on a large screen to help the students rember them.
"Alright, that's all for today," Lin Ling said. "You can stay here to reflect on the lesson, return to your dorms for Cultivation, or go to the Martial Arts Training Ground to spar. However, there is one rule: you must not cause trouble without reason. Ye Tian is a pri example, so you should all take that as a warning."
She glanced at the students before leaving. Shortly after, Qin Xiaowan and Ye Feifei also made their exit, but before they could reach the door, Murong Rufeng called out to them.
"Leaving in such a hurry, ladies? Rushing off to et your n?" Murong Rufeng said. "We're all students in the elite class; we should get to know one another. I, for one, would be more than happy to spend so ti with two lovely ladies like you."
Murong Rufeng was the first person to ever speak so brazenly to female students. As all eyes turned to him, he felt his own prestige swell.
Qin Xiaowan and Ye Feifei both stopped and turned to glare at Murong Rufeng. "You should take a good look at yourself," Ye Feifei said. "You think you're worthy of talking to us? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but the useless trash of a powerful clan. Soone who got in through connections dares to call himself a mber of the elite class? What a joke!"
Ye Feifei's voice wasn't loud, but it was perfectly clear to everyone present. She wanted them all to hear. Publicly humiliating him was deeply satisfying. 'It might have damaged my ladylike image,' she thought, 'but it was worth it.'
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe Ye Feifei was so audacious. Even Instructor Lin Ling was wary of offending Murong Rufeng, yet here he was, being told off as if he were completely worthless.
"Well said, Feifei!" Qin Xiaowan added. "Scum like him needs to be treated harshly. What's so great about relying on your family's power? I've always despised spineless losers like him."
Being spoken to like that by both beauties left Murong Rufeng utterly humiliated. His handso face turned livid with rage. If looks could kill, he would have murdered Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan a thousand tis over—and of course, he'd have had his fun with them first.
"You two bitches! How dare you speak to like that? Do you have a death wish?" Murong Rufeng roared. "So what if you're pretty? What's so great about that? Sooner or later, you'll just end up on your backs for so man. What's there to be so proud of!"
His words were so vile they made everyone who heard them even more disgusted. Many of the students thought he was a monster in human skin for saying such disgusting things to the two young won.
The many students who admired the two won were even more furious. If not for the academy's strict punishnts for fighting, they would have loved to teach him a brutal lesson themselves.
The color drained from Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan's faces. No one had ever dared to speak to them like that, let alone with such disgusting words. Qin Xiaowan couldn't take it anymore. In a flash, she blurred forward, leaving an afterimage as she appeared right in front of Murong Rufeng.
Her hand shot out and smacked him squarely across the face.
SMACK! The crisp sound echoed as a red handprint swiftly appeared on his cheek. To top it all off, sothing crimson trickled from the corner of Murong Rufeng's mouth. He spat, and two teeth ca out, mixed with blood and saliva.
To slap soone in public and knock out two of their teeth—Qin Xiaowan had been utterly ruthless, showing him no rcy whatsoever.
After landing the slap, Qin Xiaowan seethed, "Watch your filthy mouth. Don't assu everyone's afraid of you. Who do you think you are? In my eyes, you're lower than a dog."
Not waiting for a reply, Qin Xiaowan turned to leave. But Murong Rufeng, like a rabid dog, bellowed, "Bitch! You dare to hurt ? I'm going to kill you today!"
The mont the words left his mouth, he unleashed a vicious palm strike at Qin Xiaowan's back. Had it connected, she would have certainly been injured.
Murong Rufeng had gone from calling himself a refined 'young master' to a thuggish ',' his rage on full display. He had wanted to appear cultured and gentle in front of everyone, but now his true colors were showing.
Qin Xiaowan didn't turn around. She felt the gust of wind from the palm strike at her back and, with a quick flash, smoothly dodged it. The spacious lecture hall provided more than enough room to evade such an attack.
As Murong Rufeng missed and prepared to strike again, Sun Yibin stopped him. "Brother, this isn't the place to fight. We still have to abide by the academy's regulations. If you really want to teach that bitch a lesson, you can take it to the Decisive Battlefield."
"Besides, you don't need to get your own hands dirty to teach her a lesson. We can handle it for you! Just calm down. We'll make sure you're satisfied!"
Sun Yibin's words disgusted even more of the students, especially Chu Hongyuan and Zhou Xiang. He was the very definition of a bootlicking lackey, and they despised people like him.
"You have the nerve to challenge her to the Decisive Battlefield after saying such disgusting things to her?" Chu Hongyuan couldn't help but interject. "Is it just because you think you're at the One Vein Ninth Layer? What's so great about that?"
"Punk, mind your own damn business!" Sun Yibin imdiately snarled at Chu Hongyuan. "What, trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress? I don't think you're qualified! If you're looking to die, I can certainly oblige you!"
"It wasn't my business," Chu Hongyuan retorted, "but I was born to stand up against injustice. And I can't stand watching spineless bootlickers grovel and wag their tails for others."
Just then, Ye Feifei walked over to Qin Xiaowan's side. She glanced at the arguing Chu Hongyuan and Sun Yibin and said, "There's no need for the Decisive Battlefield. I'm afraid if certain people get up there, they won't be coming back down. Heaven values life, so it's best we avoid needless killing. If you've got the guts, we can head to the Martial Arts Training Ground for a spar. We'll see who's really qualified to talk so big."
"Bitch, you talk a big ga. In that case, I'll be the first to challenge you!" Sun Yibin hadn't said a word, but Murong Rufeng spoke up, his voice now slurred and airy from his two missing teeth. "I still haven't settled the score with you for what happened at the inn!"
"Oh?" Ye Feifei chuckled. "So you do rember that day. I was kind enough to let you go, but I see a leopard can't change its spots. You want to challenge ? Fine, I'll give you the chance. I hope you don't disappoint ."
"Ye Feifei, you're Ye Tian's friend, and so are we," Chu Hongyuan said. "If this arrogant bastard needs to be taught a lesson, it shouldn't be you who does it. You and Qin Xiaowan can just stand aside and enjoy the show!"
Ye Feifei gave Chu Hongyuan a grateful look and smiled. "Since you're friends with my Brother Tian, then you're my friends too. This whole ss started because of us, so we can't let you get into trouble for it. We don't want you to get punished by the academy."
