Chapter 52

~~

"Ye Wei?" The common students in the class looked at Ye Wei, whose face was dark, with complex expressions. There was envy, jealousy, and more subtly, a sense of schadenfreude.

Ye Wei was originally the worst student in the junior third class, with the poorest talent and the lowest cultivation. Anyone who was in a bad mood could vent their frustrations on him. Who would have thought that Ye Wei, who had only a red-level talent and was merely a one-star apprentice, would have the talent to become a Divine Pattern Master? Who would have thought that Ye Wei would gain the favor of Miss Ziyuan? The sudden change in Ye Wei's status and position, from being a waste, made these students from common backgrounds feel envious and jealous. How could they not be?

As for the subtle schadenfreude, it was because Ye Wei had skipped class for three consecutive days, openly violating school rules, and offending Du Mingze!

Du Mingze was not only very strong but also a member of the Du family, one of the three major families in Qingyue City. While they were wary of Ye Wei, Du Mingze did not care.

"Ye Wei skipped class for three consecutive days. At tonight's class meeting, Xiao Qi will surely exaggerate the situation to the teacher. For someone like Ye Wei, who openly violates school rules, even if he has some talent, the teacher will definitely punish him severely. Otherwise, how can he set an example?"

"The teacher's punishment is not a big deal. Since Ye Wei has talent, the teacher won't be too harsh, perhaps just a symbolic punishment. But Ye Wei offended Du Mingze. Who is Du Mingze? How could he let Ye Wei off easily?"

"Thinking he has some talent, his tail is already in the air, not knowing who he is. Talent is just talent and does not represent strength. In half a month, the monthly exam at Nansheng Academy will begin! I want to see how a one-star apprentice like Ye Wei will pass this exam!"

Although the students in the class did not dare to mock Ye Wei to his face, they all secretly laughed and looked forward to seeing him humiliated.

The news that Ye Wei had been taken as a personal disciple by Master Yi had already spread among the noble families, but these common students had not yet received the news. Most ordinary students had no chance to interact with the upper echelons and did not know the grudge between the Ye and Du families!

Now, Ye Wei was the only personal disciple of Master Yi. Which teacher at Nansheng Academy would dare to punish Ye Wei? What was Du Mingze? Even the head of the Du family, Du Yuanming, dared not provoke Ye Wei, let alone Du Mingze, who had just reached the Warrior Realm!

"Ye Wei, come here, come here!" Cao Ning, who sat next to Ye Wei, waved his hand anxiously, his honest face filled with worry.

When Du Mingze brought a group of people to block Ye Wei, Ye Wei had escaped because he was skipping class. At that time, Cao Ning happened to be in the dormitory.

Cao Ning was the only one in the class who had a good relationship with Ye Wei, and he was very worried about him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Wei walked to his seat, sat down, and seeing Cao Ning's worried face, his angry expression softened. He smiled faintly and asked, somewhat puzzled.

Cao Ning was Ye Wei's only friend at Nansheng Academy. No matter how bad his mood was, he couldn't take it out on his friend.

"You can still smile?" The honest-looking Cao Ning, seeing Ye Wei's faint smile, patted his forehead helplessly.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a class meeting tonight, don't you know?" Cao Ning looked at Ye Wei helplessly, "You know the teacher's temper. You've skipped class for three consecutive days. Do you think he'll let you off?"

"Also, the exam is in half a month. Aren't you worried? Everyone is working hard to cultivate, but you've been skipping class. Miss Ziyuan values you so much. If you end up being the last in the academy, won't you disappoint her?" Cao Ning's eyes were bloodshot. The exam was in half a month, and he had been practicing hard for several nights.

"That matter!" Ye Wei rubbed his nose, smiled awkwardly, and had indeed forgotten about the exam. Even if he hadn't forgotten, he wouldn't take it seriously.

The Nansheng Academy exam was divided into three parts: basic Divine Pattern knowledge, cultivation test, and practical test!

Ye Wei could perfectly answer the questions on Master Yi's disciple test, let alone the basic Divine Pattern knowledge! As for the cultivation test, Ye Wei was already a four-star apprentice, not as strong as the top geniuses, but not weak either.

Ye Wei cared even less about the practical test. After cultivating a high-level Profound Technique, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao, and taking the Flame Sun Body Tempering Pill, even a five-star apprentice would probably not be his match!

"Do you realize the urgency now? There's still half a month. If you start working hard now, there's still hope. Miss Ziyuan knows your situation. As long as you don't come in last, I don't think she'll blame you." Cao Ning patted Ye Wei's shoulder, looking at him with a relieved expression, and consoled him in a deep voice.

"Last place?" Ye Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the three years he had been at Nansheng Academy, he had indeed come in last many times. In the past, Ye Wei would get a headache whenever there was a test, but now it shouldn't be a problem.

"Also..." Cao Ning cautiously scanned the surroundings, pulled on Ye Wei's sleeve, and leaned close to his ear, speaking cautiously, afraid of being overheard.

"You have to be careful of Du Mingze. On the day off, Du Mingze brought a group of senior class students and blocked the entrance, looking for trouble. They also went to your dormitory!" Cao Ning's honest face showed unmistakable worry as he whispered.

The teacher's punishment and the exam were not particularly serious, but offending Du Mingze would make it impossible for Ye Wei to stay at Nansheng Academy!

"If it doesn't work out, just drop out. The Ye family is also a noble family. Even if you're not at Nansheng Academy, you can still cultivate!" Cao Ning bit his lip and suggested.

Cao Ning was Ye Wei's only friend at Nansheng Academy, and Ye Wei was Cao Ning's only friend. Cao Ning really didn't want to see Ye Wei get into trouble.

He couldn't help Ye Wei, so he could only advise him.

"Du Mingze?" A cold light flashed in Ye Wei's eyes. Xiao Qi didn't have the courage to move against him, but before Master Yi took him as a disciple, Du Mingze did.

It seems that the one who smashed my dormitory and urinated on my bedding was Du Mingze!

Ye Wei clenched his fists tightly, his anger burning. Because of the Du family, his cousin Ye Zhongtang's mind was shattered and was still in a coma. Ye Wei, due to his lack of strength, had been holding back from seeking revenge on the Du family. The new and old grudges made him even angrier.

"It was Xiao Qi who led them to your dormitory!" Cao Ning continued to whisper.

"Xiao Qi, Du Mingze... very well!" Ye Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through the slits.

Bang!

At that moment, the front door of the classroom was kicked open violently, and Xiao Qi, with a defiant look on his face, strode in.

"Xiao Qi!"

"Xiao Qi!"

The students, who were chatting quietly, fell silent one by one, looking at Xiao Qi with a mix of awe and respect.

Xiao Qi was the top student in the junior third class, the only five-star apprentice, and often assisted the teacher in managing the class. No one in the junior third class dared to offend Xiao Qi.

However, they no longer deliberately flattered Xiao Qi, knowing that he and Ye Wei were at odds. In the past, helping Xiao Qi bully Ye Wei was fine, but now, no one dared to help Xiao Qi bully Ye Wei anymore.

No matter what, Ye Wei had shown the talent of a Divine Pattern Master. If Ye Wei really became a Divine Pattern Master in the future, those who had offended him would have no good days!

"Ye Wei!" Xiao Qi's arrogant gaze swept over the class, enjoying the respectful looks. When he saw Ye Wei, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

So what if you have the talent of a Divine Pattern Master? There are many talented people. Becoming a Divine Pattern Master is not that easy. I didn't dare to provoke Ye Wei before, but now with Du Mingze as my backing, Xiao Qi felt secretly pleased.

"Hmph, daring to provoke Du Mingze, you're asking for trouble!" Xiao Qi walked to Ye Wei's seat.

"Ye Wei, your audacity is a bit too much. You dared to skip class for three consecutive days. Do you still respect the teacher? Do you still respect the school rules of Nansheng Academy?"

"As the top student of the junior third class, I will report your absence to the teacher!" Xiao Qi looked down at Ye Wei, who was sitting, with a smug and gloating smile.

Ye Wei's brows furrowed, and his face darkened. Just as he was about to stand up, Cao Ning, who was beside him, pulled on his sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.

Miss Ziyuan was not here now. If Ye Wei and Xiao Qi got into a conflict, Ye Wei would definitely be the one to suffer. Although Xiao Qi was very annoying, he was the top student of the junior third class and the only five-star apprentice!

"It's fine!" Ye Wei looked at Cao Ning, whose face was tense and worried, patted his shoulder lightly, and slowly stood up, looking directly at Xiao Qi.

"Xiao Qi, was it you who led Du Mingze and his group to smash my dormitory?" Ye Wei's face was calm, and he asked in a questioning tone, looking at the arrogant Xiao Qi coldly.

"You brought it upon yourself by offending Young Master Du Mingze!" Xiao Qi looked at Ye Wei with extreme disdain and coldly snorted. Although he didn't directly admit that he led Du Mingze and his group to smash Ye Wei's dormitory, it was as good as an admission.

The atmosphere became tense as the two faced off.

The students' gazes focused on Ye Wei and Xiao Qi. One was the top student with a five-star apprentice cultivation, and the other was a talented genius favored by Miss Ziyuan. Their confrontation naturally drew everyone's attention.

"Ye Wei is not the same as before. In the past, how could he dare to question Xiao Qi? However, although Ye Wei has shown the talent of a Divine Pattern Master, his cultivation is only at the one-star apprentice level. Now that Miss Ziyuan is not here, no one will protect him. If he conflicts with Xiao Qi, he will definitely suffer!"

"Does Xiao Qi dare to move against Ye Wei? Isn't he afraid that Ye Wei will become a Divine Pattern Master in the future? Miss Ziyuan values Ye Wei so much. Isn't he afraid that she will hold him accountable?"

"Have you forgotten about Du Mingze? Du Mingze is already a Warrior and a member of the Du family, one of the three major families in Qingyue City. As long as you're not a real Divine Pattern Master, the Du family won't care. Ye Wei is just talented, and Du Mingze won't take him seriously!" In their eyes, the young master of the Du family was a powerful figure.

The students whispered among themselves.

In their view, if Ye Wei and Xiao Qi really had a direct conflict, Ye Wei would definitely suffer!

Xiao Qi was a five-star apprentice, while Ye Wei was only a one-star apprentice. Ten Ye Weis couldn't match one Xiao Qi.
