Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Willful Degeneracy
"Are you a disciple of Heavenly Hidden Academy?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Yes." Muu Ning nodded repeatedly, "I participated in the Six Exams and Six Difficulties and the inner and outer sect assessments with Senior Brother Xiao Yi, and the Twelve Peaks..."
Xiao Yi shook his head and interrupted, "Really, I don’t quite know."
"Oh." Muu Ning heard this and lowered her head slightly in disappointment, saying, "At that time, my eyes had an illness, covered with white silk, very inconspicuous."
"It’s normal for Senior Brother Xiao Yi not to notice."
"However, even though my eyes couldn’t see, my perception was very strong." Muu Ning said, her face filled with joy again.
"I saw very clearly when Senior Brother Xiao Yi crossed the Xuan Lock Chain and then fought against the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak."
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi is so young, first breaking the academy’s record, then overpowering the Direct Disciple of Sky-reaching Peak."
"At that time, Senior Brother Xiao Yi," Muu Ning said, blushing slightly, "was very remarkable."
"Oh, right, after Senior Brother Xiao Yi left the academy, the Old Dean came out of seclusion soon after, and even..."
Muu Ning spoke joyfully, her face a little red, her voice barely a whisper.
However, she didn’t notice that Xiao Yi’s expression became increasingly cold and impatient.
"Enough." Xiao Yi shook his head and said coldly, "I’m not interested in what happens at Heavenly Hidden Academy."
"Also, stop calling me Senior Brother, I’m not a disciple of Heavenly Hidden Academy."
"Goodbye."
Xiao Yi said indifferently and turned to leave.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi..." Muu Ning wanted to say something.
Just at this moment, from afar, over ten powerful auras quickly approached.
In just a few breaths, over ten figures descended from the sky, arriving beside Muu Ning.
"Muu Ning." The leader among the ten was a middle-aged man.
"Deacon." Muu Ning saw the arrivals and gave a slight bow.
The ten individuals wore Heavenly Hidden Academy uniforms, evidently all from the academy.
"Muu Ning, how is it? Your family is safe?" The middle-aged man asked with concern.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man noticed Xiao Yi to the side, first frowning, then his eyes turned cold.
"Hmm? Aren’t you Xiao Yi?" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi.
"Muu Ning, is this the guy who’s threatening your family and being unfavorable to you?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Hmph, who do we have here." The middle-aged man sneered arrogantly, "Just a discarded academy disciple, dare to face the proper academy disciples?"
"But I must say, Xiao Yi, you shone brightly at the academy once, how could you sink so low, joining such a filthy place like Black Cloud Academy?"
"You scoundrel, what did you say?" Qing Lin immediately got angry.
"Deacon, you’ve misunderstood." Muu Ning hurriedly said, "Just now, it was Senior Brother Xiao Yi who helped my family overcome the crisis."
"I’ll say it again." Xiao Yi’s voice suddenly turned extremely cold.
"I’m not a disciple of Heavenly Hidden Academy, and if you dare to call me Senior Brother again, don’t blame me for being rude."
"Also, young lady, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t help your Muu Family; I just happened to be completing an academy task."
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi." Muu Ning’s face turned pale instantly, showing grievance.
"You brat, what’s with that attitude?" The middle-aged man became enraged.
"Do you know who stands before you? Muu Ning is the Direct Disciple of Tianao Peak Elder, and you dare threaten her?"
"Could it be that entering such a filthy place as Black Cloud Academy has made you so arrogant and degenerate?"
"Others may fear your Black Cloud Academy’s domineering ways, but our Heavenly Hidden Academy does not."
"You bastard, you..." Qing Lin was about to explode.
Xiao Yi grabbed his shoulder.
His icy gaze turned to the middle-aged man, "I don’t know if Heavenly Hidden Academy fears Black Cloud Academy or not."
"But, if you dare utter another word of nonsense near me, don’t think of returning to Heavenly Hidden Academy alive."
"Just a half-step Saint Emperor, I don’t care about you."
As the words fell, a terrifying icy aura swept across the entire scene.
Including the middle-aged man, all the martial artists from Heavenly Hidden Academy instantly felt as if they were in an ice cave, their bodies freezing cold.
"So strong." The middle-aged man’s expression changed.
"Let’s go." Xiao Yi glanced at Qing Lin and turned to leave.
Not until Xiao Yi and Qing Lin were far away did the middle-aged man breathe a sigh of relief, then showed a look of anger.
"Hmph, such a disrespectful kid, no wonder both Heavenly Sword Peak and Sky-reaching Peak turned him away."
"Fortunately, we didn’t let such an arrogant person into our academy, or else he would have brought shame to our academy in the future."
"No, Senior Brother Xiao Yi, he..." Muu Ning hurriedly spoke up.
"Alright, Muu Ning, don’t pay attention to such people who willingly degenerate." The middle-aged man waved his hand, interrupting.
"As soon as the elder received your message, he sent us to assist you immediately."
"With us here, no petty people would dare act recklessly."
....
In the distance, Xiao Yi and Qing Lin had moved away.
Xiao Yi’s expression remained indifferent throughout.
He finally understood why Sky Square City Lord Mansion and Fang Family were joining forces to suppress the Muu Family.
The reason was actually because of Muu Ning.
Muu Ning, a new disciple of Heavenly Hidden Academy, could gain the favor of an elder of the Twelve Peaks, specifically Tianao Peak Elder, becoming a Direct Disciple.
It can be imagined that Muu Ning must be a Supreme Heavenly Talent.
Such a talent, also cultivating at the First Academy of the Central Region, would certainly become a powerful figure in the future.
No wonder Sky Square City Lord Mansion wanted to force the Muu Family into marriage.
Xiao Yi chuckled, merely thinking over these issues lightly, not caring too much, and then stopped pondering.
Next to him, seeing Xiao Yi’s expression soften, Qing Lin asked, "Xiao Yi, do you know that little lady just now?"
"From the way she looked, it seemed she really idolizes you as her Senior Brother."
"Tsk tsk, that little lady is quite pretty, you two in the past... Tsk tsk, didn’t expect you to have such a love history."
"I said." Xiao Yi replied blandly, "I don’t know her, nor do I have any connection."
"You’ve misunderstood."
"But as for you." Xiao Yi looked at Qing Lin, smiling, "In half a year, your cultivation has greatly improved."
"Not as much as you, you monster." Qing Lin pursed his lips, "My cultivation has skyrocketed mainly because of the Spirit Vein."
"With such precious cultivation items assisting me, and no Martial Arts Barrier, my cultivation naturally keeps soaring."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi laughed, "To ignore the Martial Arts Barrier in the Saint King Realm is already impressive."
"Nonsense." Qing Lin shook his head, "I have no Martial Arts Barrier because most of the seniors in the academy have come out of seclusion."
"Half a year ago, you went to the Four-direction Domain before me."
"I stayed behind in the academy for closed cultivation, coincidentally when several old folks all came out of seclusion and guided me daily, of course, I had no Martial Arts Barrier."
"Most of the seniors came out of seclusion?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
As far as he knew, the seniors in the academy were in seclusion all year round.
Normally, it was fortunate to have a few seniors come out to guide, let alone so many.
Just as Xiao Yi was about to inquire, Qing Lin said irritably, "I say, where did you run off to train these past months?"
"I don’t know how many messages were sent to you at Wind Shattering Hall, and you didn’t receive or respond to a single one."
"If not for the academy’s records containing your presence, I would have thought you vanished into thin air, or were dead."
Indeed, the messages from Wind Shattering Hall were sent by Qing Lin to Xiao Yi.
