"Are you serious, Senior Sister Bi Yao? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Lu Fan said repeatedly, his expression even more solemn.
"Of course, I'm not kidding!" Bi Yao patted her chest. "Your Senior Sister Bi Yao is no ordinary person. As the direct disciple of the Dean, this matter should be easy to resolve."
The disciples of Qingyun Sect immediately showed joy. If Bi Yao could resolve this matter, they wouldn't have to worry too much, as it had caused quite a stir.
"How does Senior Sister Bi Yao plan to resolve it?"
Lu Fan asked, his expression turning serious.
"I'll go and speak to him. That old man wouldn't dare to make things difficult for me," Bi Yao said confidently. After all, she was a direct disciple of the Dean, and even in front of the elders, her words carried some weight.
Just then, not far from the courtyard, the Seventh Elder, along with Wan Hai, was rushing towards the courtyard in anger, his expression full of displeasure.
Many people were watching from the surroundings, anticipating what would happen next.
As Bi Yao was about to go out, she saw the Seventh Elder and quickly went to meet him. "Isn't this Old Man Seventh? What brings you out for a stroll?"
"So it's Junior Nephew Bi Yao," the Seventh Elder said with a smile. "I'm not here for a stroll. Someone injured my disciple, and I will make him pay the price. Otherwise, he'll think I'm easy to bully."
Bi Yao was slightly stunned and looked at Wan Hai. She hadn't expected Wan Hai's injuries to be so severe, with one arm even crippled.
The Seventh Elder was extremely protective of his disciples, and facing such an act, how could he let it go?
"Old man, this matter might have some hidden reasons," Bi Yao said. "There must be a reason why Wan Hai was beaten. You are an elder, you can't just act recklessly, can you!"
The Seventh Elder frowned. "What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
"What I mean is, this matter can be reported to the Enforcement Pavilion, and let the Pavilion handle it," Bi Yao said with a light laugh. "After all, you are an elder, how can you show yourself in public like this? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the elders!"
"It's too troublesome to ask the Enforcement Pavilion!" The Seventh Elder shook his head and was about to step into the courtyard, but Bi Yao blocked him. "As I just said, Elder Seventh, it's not good to resort to violence here, as it will affect the academy's reputation. Most importantly, if my master finds out, he might be displeased."
"Master, please don't listen to his nonsense. Senior Sister Bi Yao is in league with them."
Wan Hai quickly said, "It's precisely because they have Senior Sister Bi Yao backing them that they dare to be so reckless and not put me in their eyes, directly crippling my arm!"
"So that's how it is!"
The Seventh Elder's expression turned cold, and he looked sharply at Bi Yao. "Junior Niece Bi Yao, what do you think about this matter?"
"With all due respect, these are all rumors and not to be taken seriously," Bi Yao said directly. "I'm saying this for your own good, Elder. If Elder insists on taking action, I can only go and invite my master to come and preside over justice. As fellow students of Beihai Academy, if you can't win a fight, you have to ask an elder to intervene. What will become of Beihai Academy's reputation in the future?"
"Don't try to threaten me, you little girl!" The Seventh Elder glared at her. "I won't be threatened by this. Moreover, that person injured my disciple, how can I let it go? Even if the Dean were here, I would never compromise." Su Dan Novel Network
Wan Hai stood aside, looking extremely pleased. He knew very well that the Seventh Elder was famous for his protectiveness of his disciples. As long as the Seventh Elder took action, any matter could be resolved.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade the Seventh Elder, Bi Yao frowned slightly. "Old man, you're not planning to get serious, are you? That person is my friend. If you do anything to him, I'll be unhappy!"
"My disciple cannot be bullied for no reason!" The Seventh Elder said coldly. "You little girl, don't get involved."
The Seventh Elder waved his hand and walked directly towards Lu Fan's courtyard, completely disregarding everything. He had come here today to get an explanation from Lu Fan, otherwise, Lu Fan and the others would likely face disaster.
"Master, it's this brat!" Wan Hai pointed at Lu Fan, exuding a powerful aura.
Lu Fan stood aside, appearing quite calm. "Elder, it was indeed me who made the move, but he provoked me first and beat up the Sect Master of Qingyun. If he hadn't been so presumptuous, I wouldn't have crippled his arm!"
"Then do you know that he is my disciple?" the Seventh Elder asked coldly, exuding a powerful aura.
"I know!" Lu Fan nodded. "But it seems to have nothing to do with whose disciple he is. He started the matter first, so my actions seem most appropriate."
"Since you dare to do it, I admire you," the Seventh Elder nodded. "But since you've done something, you must pay the price. This is also the rule of the cultivation world."
"Are you saying that the Elder is going to protect his own?" Lu Fan said with a light laugh. "If word gets out that you attack disciples without distinguishing right from wrong, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of Beihai Academy!"
"You brat, you have quite a big mouth. You still dare to be so arrogant now!"
The Seventh Elder's expression was cold. "Don't you have me in your eyes?"
"Those who respect me, I respect them!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I hope the Elder can understand this."
Bi Yao frowned at the side. Lu Fan's words might provoke the Seventh Elder, and if that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Well said, 'Those who respect me, I respect them'!" The Seventh Elder burst into laughter. "Today, I'll see what kind of ability you brat has to utter such arrogant words."
In that instant, the Seventh Elder formed his hand into a claw and lunged towards Lu Fan, even attacking from a distance without any reservation.
Lu Fan dodged. Facing an attack from a peak Spirit King expert, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to resist. If he didn't dodge, it would only be a dead end.
At that critical moment, Bi Yao suddenly made a move, charging towards the Seventh Elder with an unstoppable momentum. She couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Fan get into trouble, as Lu Fan had become a friend in her heart.
"Little girl, don't ruin my business!"
The Seventh Elder said coldly. "Otherwise, I'll deal with you as well!"
"He is my friend, how can I stand by and watch you deal with him?" Bi Yao said directly. "I hope Elder can act calmly and give the matter a chance to de-escalate."
"Since I've stepped forward, I will never show mercy!" The Seventh Elder said coldly. "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for not showing any regard for our relationship!"
"In that case, I will have to experience Elder's formidable skills!"
Bi Yao's expression turned cold, and she moved forward with an unstoppable momentum. She wanted to see what kind of abilities the Seventh Elder possessed.
