After joining the advanced class, Su Yang discovered that what was so-called advanced class was actually just a group of students attending lectures in a large classroom. And the teachers giving the lectures were the sa as before, teaching the sa subjects that would be learned in any regular school, without anything special.
Of course, now everyone knew that these teachers possessed the strength of Terrestrial Immortals. So, when seeing these teachers, everyone was extrely respectful and didn’t dare show the slightest disdain.
Su Yang and Hu Xiexie sat on Zhao Dongming’s side of the room, appearing to be part of Zhao Dongming’s group. In fact, many of Zhao Dongming’s followers harbored hostility towards Su Yang; these people had previously followed Fang Ping and had been dealt with by Su Yang, still seething with anger inside.
Zhao Dongming kept a lid on this, and on top of that, Su Yang’s previously dominant performance—defeating so many of the Fang Family on his own—ant that although these people were angry, they dared not show it.
As for the others, they were quietly sizing up the two. Or rather, more were sizing up Hu Xiexie.
There weren’t many girls in the advanced class to begin with, and although those girls weren’t bad-looking, there was a significant disparity when compared with Hu Xiexie. Hu Xiexie’s beauty easily overshadowed those girls, naturally drawing the attention of many male students.
Ge Kaiyang was brazenly eyeing Hu Xiexie, as if he had already considered her to be his woman.
Hu Xiexie, however, remained seated next to Su Yang, completely ignoring these people, not even bothering to give them a glance.
When class ended, the teacher leisurely packed up and left the room.
As the teacher exited the classroom door, the room suddenly erupted into a buzz of activity. Although the individuals here were extraordinary, they were all young people between the ages of ten and twenty, possessing youthful spirits not much different from ordinary students.
During the noise, several youths walked straight over to Su Yang’s side. The leader asured Su Yang up and down before speaking in a deep voice, "You are Su Yang?"
The noise around them stopped in an instant, and everyone turned to look at their side, as if watching a drama.
Su Yang’s face remained calm as he nodded and said, "That’s right, I am."
"I am Yue Ming, a brother to Master Lv," the youth spoke seriously. "A couple of days ago, you injured Master Lü’s brothers. How do you plan to settle this matter?"
Zhao Dongming looked at Su Yang and imdiately stood up, saying, "Yue Ming, Brother Su has just joined the advanced class and you’re already bringing up these things; isn’t that a bit too much?"
"Zhao Dongming, it has nothing to do with you!" Yue Ming cut him off directly. "This is a matter between the Northern Three Provinces and him, Su Yang. Are you intending to ddle in our grievances?"
"You..." Zhao Dongming was angry but ultimately did not say anything, looking sowhat weak.
Many people around were sneering at the scene. In this advanced class, Zhao Dongming indeed occupied a very weak position, and few took him seriously.
Su Yang remained calm and glanced at Yue Ming, "How do you wish to settle it?"
"Am I asking you, or are you asking ?" Yue Ming said angrily. "The incident from the other day, I happened to be out of town and not at the school. Who would have thought you’d be so ruthless as to not only drive our fellow classmates from Northern Three Provinces out of Qinghe Academy but also injure and expel our brothers from the advanced class? Su Yang, you really have so nerve. Are you provoking people from the Northern Three Provinces, provoking Master Lü?"
"You are mistaken, that’s not the case," Su Yang shook his head.
Hearing Su Yang’s words, many around scoffed. You’re backing down after just a few words? You’re in the advanced class; isn’t face important? Even if you can’t beat them, you should at least hold your ground. How can you back down just by talking?
One of the youths beside Yue Ming shouted furiously, "Damn it, you’ve done the deed and now you say it’s a misunderstanding? Who the hell are you trying to fool? You bastard, you even dare to hit Master Lü’s people, it seems you’re tired of living. Brothers, let’s not be polite with him, beat him till he’s crippled!"
Yue Ming’s followers surged forward with violent montum, ready to gang up on Su Yang.
Zhao Dongming quickly stood up, "Hey, guys, we’re all classmates, why do this?"
Although Zhao Dongming had stood up, only a few sparsely distributed people rose to their feet by his side. Those from Capital City watched Su Yang with cold eyes, showing no intention of intervening.
This scenario made many people snicker. Zhao Dongming’s influence was indeed too weak; he couldn’t command these people from Capital City.
"Zhao Dongming, mind your own business, sit down!" Yue Ming shouted angrily.
Zhao Dongming’s face flushed as he looked at those around him, but they ignored him. Even the few who had initially stood up with him quietly sat back down.
The snickers from the crowd turned into open laughter, worsening Zhao Dongming’s embarrassnt.
"Yue Ming, are you really going to make a big fuss out of this?" Zhao Dongming clenched his teeth, "Fine, do you want to fight? I’ll keep you company!"
These words surprised many. Had the relationship between Zhao Dongming and Su Yang beco this strong?
Yue Ming was also taken aback, then frowned. He was unclear about Zhao Dongming’s abilities, but he was certain they wouldn’t be weak, for his teacher was the Martial Champion.
In fact, even though Zhao Dongming belonged to the weakest force out of the four influential powers in the advanced class, Yue Ming was still reluctant to provoke him. After all, standing behind him was the Martial Champion.
The matter with the Fang Family a few days ago was settled by Young Master Qee at the school. At that ti, not many knew Young Master Qee’s identity, but afterwards, when it was revealed, it shocked people.
The Martial Champion’s son had personally stepped in to resolve the situation for Su Yang!
This made people ponder, what was the Martial Champion’s intention?
Of course, even though people couldn’t fathom it, those in the advanced class had already branded Su Yang with the Martial Champion’s mark. In everyone’s eyes, the Martial Champion resolving the issue for Su Yang sent a signal, effectively backing Su Yang by proxy.
And now, the fact that Zhao Dongming was so close to Su Yang made people suspect whether the Martial Champion really intended to win over Su Yang.
Yue Ming furrowed his brow, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Zhao Dongming, are you planning to take responsibility for this matter?"
"There’s no talk of taking responsibility or not. Su Yang is my friend; he’s new to the advanced class, and I hope everyone will give him so face!" Zhao Dongming said firmly. "Although I, Zhao Dongming, don’t have much ability, I will definitely not stand by and let others bully my friend!"
Yue Ming clenched his teeth and coldly stared at Zhao Dongming, responding sternly, "Zhao Dongming, rember what you said. In a few days, Master Lü will co to Qinghe Academy. By then, I hope you won’t regret the words you’ve said!"
