Yan Yang Academy, Central Hall!
"Mr. Li, can't this matter be compromised a bit?"
"Those who have reached the Divine Power Realm can already be teachers at Yan Yang Academy."
Ye Han arrived outside the hall and immediately heard the helpless voice of Dean Su Xiaocang from inside.
"Compromise? Su Xiaocang, what do you think the rules of the Cycle Academy are?"
A young and cold voice echoed: "If no one reaches the Divine Power Realm, then I should return and not waste any more time."
At this moment, Ye Han heard his teacher's voice: "Li Kai, I am well aware of the Cycle Academy's rules, and they do not have such regulations. You are just an ordinary disciple responsible for this matter, yet you dare to set your own rules."
"Mo Qingrou!"
The young voice immediately filled with mockery: "Do you look down on my status as an ordinary disciple? You are just a failure who was expelled nine years ago, and you dare to talk about the rules of the Cycle Academy."
Outside the hall, Ye Han clenched his fists and stepped into the hall.
He saw a young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, sitting at the top of the hall, while even Dean Su Xiaocang had to sit to the side.
The young man was arrogant and spoke without restraint: "As for the rules of the academy, whatever Senior Brother Feng says is the rule, and whatever Senior Sister Yin says is the rule. If you are unhappy, you can go to the Cycle Academy to complain and see what kind of waves you can make."
The entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked up at Li Kai, but even the dean did not dare to say more.
There must be a reason for everything, and no wind arises without a cause!
Su Xiaocang knew Mo Qingrou's identity. The restriction that only those who have reached the Divine Power Realm can go to the Cycle Academy was clearly set to make things difficult for Mo Qingrou and her disciples.
But even as the dean of this branch of Yan Yang Academy, Su Xiaocang could not change this matter.
He had to be cautious in dealing with Li Kai, otherwise, it might affect the ability of Yan Yang Academy's disciples to enter the Cycle Academy in the future.
"Also, I heard that your disciple Ye Han is blind and dared to cause a disturbance at the Ye family. This matter has already reached the Cycle Academy."
"Senior Sister Ye Zixuan is quite dissatisfied and has already reported this to Senior Brother Feng. To be honest, Ye Han will never be able to step into the Cycle Academy in his lifetime. This strict requirement of the Divine Power Realm was set by Senior Brother Feng." Li Kai's voice rose a few notches.
"Ye Zixuan has just entered the Cycle Academy, and you call her Senior Sister?" Mo Qingrou glanced at Li Kai.
Li Kai snorted: "What's wrong with calling her Senior Sister? Although Ye Zixuan just entered the academy, she has already become an inner disciple under Senior Brother Feng's recommendation."
"Ye Zixuan directly became an inner disciple? Could it be...?" Mo Qingrou was finally moved.
"Exactly!"
Li Kai was smug: "Two years ago, Senior Brother Feng had already become the first Cycle Son."
At this moment, Li Kai's tone changed: "However, Mo Qingrou, nothing is set in stone. Your disciple still has a chance to join the Cycle Academy."
"No need!"
"That Cycle Academy, I, Ye Han, will not go!"
Ye Han spoke, and in an instant, many eyes turned to him. Only then did the people in the hall notice that Ye Han had entered at some point.
Glancing at Li Kai above, Ye Han came to Mo Qingrou's side: "Teacher, there are many paths to success in this world. I don't necessarily have to join the Cycle Academy."
Times have changed, and Ye Han's mindset has evolved!
If the Cycle Academy is full of arrogant and conceited disciples, it is easy to imagine the character of the higher-ups in the Cycle Academy.
"Is this your disciple?" came Li Kai's voice from above.
His eyes looked down, filled with disdain, like a high emperor scrutinizing a lowly subject.
"Ninefold Yuan Gathering? That's still quite good in this broken Yan City. You must not want to see Ye Han become mediocre in this small Yan City, right?"
"To be honest, I am here to carry out Senior Sister Yin's will. Mo Qingrou, if you can hand over the half of the Nine Yang Fire Jade and personally help Senior Sister Yin refine it, she can go to Senior Brother Feng to plead for your disciple to join the Cycle Academy." Li Kai stared intently at Mo Qingrou.
"Teacher, don't agree to it!"
Ye Han immediately shook his head. Although he did not understand what Li Kai was saying, he could grasp the meaning. He could not let his teacher suffer for his sake.
Mo Qingrou fell silent, pausing for thirty breaths before looking at Li Kai: "How can we ensure this?"
Above in the hall, Li Kai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up. A crystal-clear, crystal-like token appeared in his hand: "You hand over the Nine Yang Fire Jade, and I will give you the disciple token!"
He was clearly well-prepared!
"Agreed!"
Mo Qingrou looked at the token and spoke softly.
Suddenly, she showed a look of pain. In the next moment, she flipped her hand, and a fiery red jade pendant appeared in her hand.
Pfft...!
Her body trembled, and Mo Qingrou suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale and her complexion deteriorating.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Ye Han quickly supported her, extremely anxious and at a loss.
Over the years, although her legs had not changed, she still had yuan power and was not as weak as an ordinary person. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.
"I'm fine, Ye Han. Give him the Nine Yang Fire Jade." Mo Qingrou said.
"No, teacher, take it back quickly." Ye Han's voice trembled.
What virtue or ability did he have to make his teacher suffer so much for him?
She didn't owe him anything!
Mo Qingrou looked at Ye Han firmly: "I'm fine, Ye Han. If you still recognize me, Mo Qingrou, then go and get that token."
"I...!"
Looking at his teacher's pale and painful face, Ye Han clenched his fists in frustration.
"Go quickly!"
Mo Qingrou said.
"Alright, I'll go!"
Ye Han's voice was heavier and more serious than ever before.
He took the Nine Yang Fire Jade and walked a few steps to Li Kai. Under the other's mocking face, he exchanged the Nine Yang Fire Jade for the token.
"That's right, a wise man knows the times. Your choice will surely make Senior Sister Yin very happy."
Li Kai carefully put away the Nine Yang Fire Jade and then said: "Let's do it this way. I need to report to Senior Sister Yin, so let's set off today?"
Having achieved his goal, Li Kai was much happier and continued: "Mo Qingrou, I'll give you some time to rest. We'll set off in two hours. By the way, Dean Su, can you prepare two carriages? Mo Qingrou must not have any accidents before we see Senior Sister Yin."
"Sure!"
Su Xiaocang sighed inwardly and nodded.
"Teacher, let's go back and rest!"
Ye Han stared at Li Kai for a long time, then pushed his teacher, Mo Qingrou, and turned to leave the hall.
"Teacher, you didn't have to do this!" Outside the hall, Ye Han's voice was gentle, but his face was icy cold.
"Ye Han, I am already seriously injured, so it's fine. Actually, even if you want to join other major forces, it's still extremely difficult, but at least the Cycle Academy, I can still help you." Mo Qingrou could understand Ye Han's feelings and comforted him gently.
