Now she hated Guan Yue to the bone. Guan Yue actually used Mental Attack in the Arena to confuse her, making her look foolish in front of everyone. It was truly a humiliation—something that could not be tolerated. She was determined to confront Guan Yue and eliminate this humiliation. The only way to do that was to humiliate Guan Yue in the Arena in return. She couldn't believe that she couldn't defeat Guan Yue with her true abilities. This grudge had to be avenged, and the sooner, the better.
Thus, like Ouyang Shaohua, she became one of the people at Qilin Academy who wanted Guan Yue to return as soon as possible.
Guan Yue quietly returned to Qilin Academy without alerting anyone. However, when her three roommates saw her back, Sima Xiaosa, Lei Dazhuang, and Marco immediately expressed their enthusiasm. Although they had endured many grievances, they knew that Guan Yue was a good friend and classmate.
But when Zhang Hai and Yang Zun saw Guan Yue return, they immediately ran out of the dormitory, looking somewhat nervous.
Sima Xiaosa admired Guan Yue from the bottom of his heart and welcomed her back with great enthusiasm, even offering to treat her to a meal out of his own pocket.
Guan Yue declined his kindness and explained to the three: she had returned this time to handle her withdrawal procedures and would no longer be a student at Qilin Academy. She hoped that Sima Xiaosa could continue their friendship for a long time.
Sima Xiaosa asked in confusion, "Why did the dean suddenly turn against you? Is it really because Yin Jingjing reported you?"
Guan Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Yin Jingjing and Teacher He reporting me was just the fuse; the real reason is that the dean no longer wants to cultivate me. He is dissatisfied with my background. You will know the real reason later—it's quite ridiculous. But I don't hate the dean; he has helped me in some ways."
"But since the dean won't cultivate you anymore, everything about your time at this academy has changed. Even we have been affected. Please forgive us three; we are now left with only Huangfu Qingkong as our sole friend," Marco explained the situation at the academy to Guan Yue.
Guan Yue nodded and said, "I understand. After I leave, you will definitely be affected as my friends. You've worked hard. Huangfu Qingkong is a good person; he helped me out back then, and now he still maintains his friendship with you despite others' cold stares—it's really commendable of him."
"By the way, he often goes to the Noble Girls' Dormitory now; I heard he's looking for Yin Jingjing. Ever since Yin Jingjing joined the guard team, they've been getting along quite well. It seems like they're in a relationship," Sima Xiaosa casually mentioned.
Guan Yue immediately felt something was off: "I realized that Yin Jingjing has long been involved with Teacher He. Now that Teacher He has both let Yin Jingjing join the guard team and encouraged her to get close to Huangfu Qingkong, is he planning something against him?"
"Teacher He can't be that ruthless, can he? Huangfu Qingkong is just someone we are closer to; there's nothing else," Lei Dazhuang hesitated.
"Don't you realize that the students are isolating us? It's not Teacher He causing trouble, is it? Otherwise, why would everyone be so united in ignoring us?" Guan Yue reminded Sima Xiaosa.
"How about we go remind Huangfu Qingkong? He might still be at the Noble Girls' Dormitory," Lei Dazhuang suggested, as he also began to sense something was off.
Guan Yue was eager to head to the Noble Girls' Dormitory, wanting to see Ouyang Shaohua soon, so he agreed.
The five of them walked together toward the Noble Girls' Dormitory.
Just as they entered the main gate of the Noble Girls' Dormitory, they heard a tremendous uproar, chaos, and the furious shouts of Teacher He coming from inside.
A message quickly spread from the Noble Girls' Dormitory: "Huangfu Qingkong is worse than a beast; he forcefully assaulted Yin Jingjing in the Noble Girls' Dormitory, and was caught red-handed by Teacher He and other Guard Members."
Upon hearing this news, Guan Yue and Sima Xiaosa rushed toward Yin Jingjing's dormitory, wanting to find out what had happened and hoping to help Huangfu Qingkong.
Little did they know that as soon as Guan Yue appeared at the door of Yin Jingjing's dormitory, Teacher He immediately ordered the Guard Members to capture all five of them. Naturally, Guan Yue resisted, but the Academy Guard Team, mostly composed of upperclassmen with considerable skills, took action in the small room without warning. Caught off guard, Guan Yue had no escape as Teacher He used a royal-grade capture device specifically designed for apprehending serious offenders. The device completely covered the room's ceiling, leaving Guan Yue nowhere to flee, and he was swiftly subdued. At the same time, Sima Xiaosa and the other three were also bound.
At that moment, Guan Yue clearly saw that Huangfu Qingkong had his shirt undone, revealing two distinct finger marks on his bare chest that were already stained with blood. He was tied up and kneeling in front of Yin Jingjing. Huangfu Qingkong glanced at Guan Yue, but quickly lowered his head. As an upperclassman, he felt embarrassed to ask for help from Guan Yue, yet Guan Yue could see tears of grievance welling up in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yin Jingjing was completely undressed from the waist up; even her undergarment had been removed. She sat on the edge of her bed holding her clothes in front of her chest. Since she was facing away from everyone, three deep bite marks were clearly visible on her shoulder, along with several faint whip marks on her back that could be seen under Guan Yue's intense gaze.
Her skin was pale with a hint of green, remarkably delicate and possessing an unusual beauty that was indeed very tempting.
Pointing at Guan Yue, Teacher He laughed heartily: "Who would have thought? No wonder today Huangfu Qingkong dared to openly tease classmate Yin Jingjing. It turns out you were behind him orchestrating everything and even came here to support him. Guan Yue, you refuse to walk the path to heaven and instead choose to enter hell. This is self-destruction; heaven is punishing you. Ha ha! This time I want to see how you leave the Qilin Academy!"
Upon hearing her name mentioned by Teacher He, Yin Jingjing immediately turned around to look. She couldn't believe that at this moment, Guan Yue would actually show up. When she confirmed that it was indeed him standing before her, flames of anger shot from her eyes. It was this very Guan Yue who had led her to this situation; she blamed not only Teacher He, but entirely held him responsible—Guan Yue! She even felt an urge to tear him apart! All her hatred was directed at him; every humiliation and suffering she endured was because of him!
When she saw Guan Yue also bound on the ground, her heart sank again. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt sorrow for Guan Yue at that moment. Guan Yue was a Dapeng soaring in the sky; he shouldn't be tied up by anyone, at least not by anyone other than me, Yin Jingjing. So, Yin Jingjing put on a piece of clothing and got off the bed, coming to Guan Yue's side. While untying him, she said seriously, "Guan Yue, if you are a man, go to the Arena and accept my challenge. Don't let me down."
Guan Yue was truly enraged. He cursed loudly, "Yin Jingjing, you vile woman! Now you're actually framing Huangfu Qingkong. Did Huangfu Qingkong hurt you? Haven't you harmed me enough? Now you want to hurt Huangfu Qingkong too? How can you be so shameless?"
"Mind your own business. My matters are none of your concern. I just want to duel with you; we will meet in the Arena for life and death." At this point, Yin Jingjing was already in tears. Guan Yue's word "vile" caused her immense pain.
Guan Yue shook his head at Yin Jingjing. "Arena? You are not my opponent; you can only humiliate yourself."
"I will defeat you in the Arena. Whether you give me the Antidote or not, I will defeat you in the Arena. You are my greatest inner demon. Everything I have now is granted by you." As Yin Jingjing spoke, she cried even harder. Guan Yue really didn't know what to say about all this. He despised Yin Jingjing from the bottom of his heart; she was just a vile woman.
But Yin Jingjing continued to untie Guan Yue's bindings.
Teacher He watched all of this and was the only one who realized Yin Jingjing's true feelings for Guan Yue. He also sensed Yin Jingjing's dissatisfaction with him. When he saw that the ropes binding Guan Yue were about to be completely undone, he became furious. He stepped forward, grabbed Yin Jingjing by her hair, pulled her to the bedside, and pushed her down onto the bed. The other Guard Members rushed toward Guan Yue again, using Sima Xiaosa and two others as shields to threaten him. Concerned for Sima Xiaosa and the others, Guan Yue feared hurting them. Additionally, Teacher He helped the Guard Members and directly attacked him again with a royal-grade capture device, causing him to be firmly bound once more.
Guan Yue was also somewhat disturbed by Yin Jingjing's cries. What did she mean? Did she really want to battle me in the Arena?
Teacher He looked at Guan Yue and mocked him, "This time I will not let you off easily, you little brat! You have repeatedly insulted me to my face; now you've finally fallen into my hands. I will make sure you pay for it. Let's see who dares to save you this time!"
A sinister smile appeared on Teacher He's wrinkled old face; he could finally deal with Guan Yue openly. This kid had brought him so much humiliation that he had been restless day and night, always looking for an opportunity for revenge. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to deal with Huangfu Qingkong according to his plan, Guan Yue appeared at Noble Girls' Dormitory at that very moment, creating a perfect opportunity to frame Guan Yue for colluding with Huangfu Qingkong to harm Yin Jingjing.
Haha! Thinking of this made Teacher He feel like he could wake up laughing in his sleep. Heaven is helping me; truly, heaven has eyes! Guan Yue, can you imagine that today is your day of reckoning!
