Chapter 54

The stern rebukes of the three young men made Xiao Qi slightly dazed. Just as he was in a daze, the three young men from noble families had already flown to Ye Wei’s side, shielding him behind them.

"Ye Wei, don’t worry, as long as we are here, Xiao Qi won’t touch a single hair on your head!" The three young men from noble families looked at Ye Wei with a fawning expression, then coldly glanced at Xiao Qi and declared with a sense of righteousness.

These three young men from noble families didn’t practice very hard, so they were placed in the beginner class. However, their noble status meant that no one dared to provoke them casually. Their classmates kept a respectful distance from them. In the past, the three of them had been close friends with Xiao Qi.

But what was going on today?

Seeing the three young men from noble families protect Ye Wei, the other students in the class were once again stunned. They rubbed their eyes hard, suspecting that there was something wrong with their eyes.

Xiao Qi, the top student, couldn’t beat Ye Wei, and the three young men from noble families, who had a good relationship with Xiao Qi, didn’t help him but instead protected Ye Wei?

This was too bizarre and too unbelievable!

The three young men from noble families in the beginner class had a sense of superiority deep down and looked down on the students from common families in the class. They formed a small circle and hardly interacted with other students. Ye Wei, although from a noble family, had always been excluded by the three of them because of his red-level识海 (sea of consciousness).

But the current situation left the common students confused.

These common students had little contact with the upper echelons and didn’t know that Ye Wei was now a personal disciple of Master Yi. Only the three young men from noble families had received the news first. They were discussing how to take advantage of the situation and build a good relationship with Ye Wei. When they entered the classroom, they found that Ye Wei and Xiao Qi were in conflict. How could they miss such a good opportunity?

"What? Are you also going against me?" Xiao Qi’s bloodshot eyes stared coldly at the three young men from noble families who were shielding Ye Wei, his voice icy, "Let me tell you the truth, Ye Wei has offended Young Master Du Mingze. You should know the weight of the Du family in Qingyue City. You can’t protect him!"

Xiao Qi was very puzzled. These three guys didn’t have a good relationship with Ye Wei, so why were they suddenly helping him?

Although the three young men from noble families shielding Ye Wei were from noble families, there were hundreds of noble families in Qingyue City, and there were huge differences between them.

The Du family was one of the three major noble families in Qingyue City!

"The Du family? Haha." The three young men from noble families exchanged glances, their faces showing a disdainful sneer. They looked at Xiao Qi as if he were a pitiful frog at the bottom of a well.

Compared to Master Yi’s only personal disciple, what was the Du family? Even if they were one of the three major noble families, wouldn’t they have to humbly offer a million silver coins as an apology for offending the Ye family?

"Xiao Qi, don’t try to intimidate us with Du Mingze. Even if Du Mingze himself were here, I would still say the same thing: as long as we are here, no one will touch a single hair on Brother Ye Wei!" The three young men from noble families declared with a sense of righteousness, showing a determination to protect Ye Wei at all costs.

Ye Wei looked at the three young men standing in front of him and shook his head helplessly. He was well aware of their intentions.

However, no matter what, these three were helping him. Although he didn’t need their help, he couldn’t say much.

"You… wait and see, you’ll regret it!" Xiao Qi clenched his fists tightly, his cold gaze sweeping over the three young men and finally landing on Ye Wei, his face full of anger as he threatened.

The three young men from noble families were determined to protect Ye Wei, and Xiao Qi couldn’t do anything. He could only make this threat.

"Publicly violating school rules, skipping classes for three consecutive days, and even fighting in the classroom and injuring me. When the mentor comes, I’ll see if you can still protect him!" Xiao Qi rubbed his still burning stomach and chin, looking at the messy classroom, and coldly snorted.

Xiao Qi, seething with anger, sat down in his seat, waiting for the mentor to arrive!

"Brother Ye Wei, are you hurt?" The three young men from noble families didn’t care about Xiao Qi’s threats. As Master Yi’s only personal disciple, Ye Wei’s status was extremely high. Which mentor would dare to punish Ye Wei?

Even the Dean would have to give Master Yi face!

"I’m fine, thank you, all three of you!" Ye Wei shook his head. Although he knew that the three were trying to curry favor with him, they were still helping him, so he politely responded.

Seeing that Ye Wei didn’t intend to continue speaking, the three young men from noble families, fearing that they might offend Ye Wei, bowed to him and obediently returned to their seats.

"Alright, it’s fine. As a man, don’t provoke trouble, but don’t be afraid of it either!" Ye Wei patted his desk partner Cao Ning’s shoulder, who was still trembling, and smiled lightly.

Cao Ning, from a common family, was honest and straightforward. He was already a three-star apprentice, with decent talent, but he was too timid and afraid of trouble!

Seeing Ye Wei’s concern for Cao Ning, the three young men from noble families exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. It seemed that to get closer to Ye Wei, they could start by building a good relationship with Cao Ning.

"Okay!" Cao Ning looked at Ye Wei and nodded honestly. He couldn’t say why, but he felt that Ye Wei seemed different from before.

It wasn’t because Ye Wei had shown the talent of a divine pattern master, nor because he had gained Miss Ziyuan’s favor, but because of a transformation in his demeanor and character!

As time passed and the sky grew darker, the students returned to the classroom one by one. Those whose desks had been broken by Ye Wei and Xiao Qi could only stand helplessly, not daring to tidy up due to Xiao Qi’s pressure.

"Skipping classes for three consecutive days and fighting in the classroom, both are strictly prohibited by Nanxing Academy. Hmph, when the mentor comes, I’ll see if you can still be so smug!" Xiao Qi’s face was dark, and he coldly glanced at Ye Wei, who seemed unaffected, clenching his fists tightly.

The gazes of the many students in the class also intentionally or unintentionally turned toward Ye Wei’s position. They wanted to see how the mentor would punish Ye Wei.

What happened today was too bizarre. First, Ye Wei miraculously sent the top student Xiao Qi flying, then the three proud young men from noble families desperately protected Ye Wei. These events were beyond the understanding of the many students in the class!

Would the mentor punish Ye Wei, and how? Everyone was uncertain. At this moment, the students of the beginner class had never been more eager for the mentor to arrive.

But strangely, the mentor, who usually arrived early, was late today. It took half an hour for the mentor, wearing the academy’s black robe and with a fine sweat on his forehead, to rush into the classroom, looking flustered.

The moment the slightly plump mentor stepped into the classroom, all the students’ gazes turned to him in unison!
