Qi Yu frowned so deeply that he almost tied his fists. He never expected that there would be such a disgusting scoundrel among the disciples of the Spirit Academy.

Seeing that Qi Yu remained silent, the man put the fasting pill back into his hand and said, "Then I'll take that as your agreement. Don't worry, I'll return it to you."

Qi Yu said, "No, how do I know when you'll be able to return it to me?"

The senior sister, who was sitting and cultivating, saw the argument breaking out and stood up to ask, "What's wrong?"

When the senior sister saw the disheveled man, she said in a bad tone, "Lai Pi, what trouble have you come here for?"

Lai Pi said, "No! This junior sister accepted my token and said she wanted to sell me Bigu Pills. I don't have any contribution points right now, so I thought I'd buy them on credit."

“If you had said earlier that there were no contribution points, I wouldn’t have sold it to you.” Qi Yu rolled her eyes. “Or you could just convert it into spirit stones for me. One Rank 6 Bigu Pill costs 200 low-grade spirit stones, so two pills would cost 400 low-grade spirit stones.”

Lai Pi's eyes widened. "Why don't you just rob it!"

Qi Yu sneered, "If you don't have money, don't post tasks. You post tasks, take the rewards, and then come here to annoy people. I'm not a fool. Are you going to pay me or not?"

"I don't have any money either, what can you do to me?" Lai Pi tossed the fasting pills up and down, looking like a shameless rogue.

“What can I do…” Qi Yu summoned the Sword of Compassion, stared at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man, and decided to “reason with him.”

"Ouch!" Lai Pi picked his nose cheekily and said, "Junior sister has quite a temper. Don't you know that your senior brother Lai Pi's swordsmanship is so good that even people from the Yunyang Sect are willing to extend olive branches to me? I'm about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. I'm afraid you little sister won't even get to see me many times!"

Senior Sister rubbed her forehead in exasperation and pulled Qi Yu aside, saying, "Don't be impulsive. Lai Pi's swordsmanship is indeed excellent. You must be a new junior sister here. Let's discuss this properly."

Qi Yu twirled his sword and said, "What good is your swordsmanship if you don't give me the money today? Don't even think about taking another step!"

Xiao Baichi suddenly said, "The Spirit Academy does not allow private fights. If you want to fight, go to the martial arts arena."

Qi Yu held his sword horizontally to Xiao Baichi's neck, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Is this any of your business? Shut up!"

Xiao Baichi didn't even see how Qi Yu drew his sword before someone held a sword to his neck. Terrified but unwilling to back down, he said, "How dare you turn your sword against a fellow disciple! You're too arrogant!"

Lai Pi also summoned his own sword and with a "crack" knocked Qi Yu's sword away.

"Junior Sister, why are you so quick to resort to violence? This junior brother was just trying to be helpful. If you really want to fight me, don't end up crying your eyes out and going home to your mother!"

A cold glint flashed in Qi Yu's eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.

She no longer has a home and can no longer find her mother.

Without saying another word, Qi Yu raised his sword and slashed at Lai Pi.

Lai Pi laughed twice, and the two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant. However, Qi Yu had not practiced swordsmanship as long as Lai Pi and had only learned some basic sword moves, so he gradually fell behind.

Seeing Qi Yu gradually showing signs of fatigue, Lai Pi became even more excited and his sword strikes became even more ferocious.

Seeing that things were getting increasingly extreme, the senior sister quickly took out her communication jade scroll and sent messages to several teachers.

Qi Yu was slightly careless and ended up with several wounds on her body. She was even more furious and threw all the attack techniques she had learned in the past few days at Lai Pi.

Lai Pi dodged the attacks and then provocatively said, "Tsk tsk tsk, is Junior Sister tickling Senior Brother?"

Qi Yu's gaze turned cold as she held a sword in her left hand and summoned spiritual fire with her right.

Fire Phoenix sensed the rage burning within her and was about to pounce on Lai Pi.

Lai Pi thought the fire phoenix was just some low-level magic, and raised his sword to split the fire apart, but unexpectedly the fire phoenix opened its beak and swallowed the sword whole.

He stared wide-eyed in shock as he threw the sword aside, watching it turn to ashes.

"What's this!"

Qi Yu recalled Huo Feng and looked at him coldly, "The money, will you give it to me or not?"

Lai Pi was still grieving the loss of his beloved sword. "You, you have to pay for my sword!"

"Ha!" Qi Yu hovered the sword an inch from his chest, just a hair's breadth away from piercing him through.

"stop!"

A voice suddenly rang out, and Qi Yu was pushed back several steps uncontrollably by a force.

Hua Nongying, dressed in a floral dress, arrived on her sword.

"What happened?" Wu Rouwan also landed gracefully, frowning as she looked at her senior sister.

Qi Yu put the sword back into the system's inventory and straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes.

Before the senior sister could speak, Lai Pi began to complain loudly, "Dean! This junior sister has a terrible temper. I just asked her to borrow two pills, and she took my sword!"

Xiao Baichi also said, "I only advised her a couple of times to show some respect to her senior brother, and she drew her sword against me. She is extremely arrogant and domineering!"

Wu Rouwan's expression remained unchanged as she continued to ask her senior sister, "Is the Flying Ring like this?"

The senior sister named Fei Huan said with some difficulty, "This junior sister just accepted Lai Pi's mission and gave Lai Pi two sixth-grade fasting pills, but Lai Pi said he had no contribution points and wanted to pay on credit. The junior sister disagreed and asked him to give her spirit stones. The two couldn't reach an agreement and started fighting."

Lai Pi shouted, "She even burned my sword! You saw it too, didn't you? How can our Spirit Academy tolerate such a narrow-minded person!"

Qi Yu said coldly, "If you're not as skilled as others, you're not as skilled. If you can't beat them, you go and complain to others. Don't you think that's too despicable?"

"You! Who are you calling despicable!"

Qi Yu glanced at him and said, "Who should be speaking?"

"Alright, I understand," Wu Rouwan said, and everyone looked at her.

“Lai Pi, the Mission Hall does not have the concept of credit. Since you have issued the mission and taken the pills, you should return the spirit stones to them.”

Lai Pi protested, "If you're going to give me the spirit stones, what about my sword?"

Hua Nongying finally understood the whole story and said irritably, "What do you mean, 'what to do'? You still have the nerve to ask what to do? I even praised your swordsmanship, and you were actually defeated by a new disciple who just joined not long ago. You really embarrass me."

"Her swordsmanship is nowhere near as good as mine!" Lai Pi said with some fear. "It's her spiritual fire. I don't know how a disciple of hers could have such a fire. It's like a firebird. With one beak, it swallowed my sword and turned it into ashes!"

Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Wu Rouwan's eyes, and she glanced at Qi Yu without making a sound.

"This matter ends here. Lai Pi, you started this trouble first, and you reap what you sow. This result is what you deserve. Quickly give the spirit stones to Qi Yu."

Lai Pi reluctantly took out his storage bag and counted out four hundred low-grade spirit stones for Qi Yu.

After receiving the spirit stones, Qi Yu said to Wu Rouwan, "Thank you for upholding justice, Dean."

"It's nothing."

Wu Rouwan gave Qi Yu a probing look again before leaving with Hua Nongying.

Seeing them walk away, Lai Pi said viciously, "Qi Yu, right? Remember this, the sword tournament is in a month, and I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Qi Yu crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "If you're not afraid of losing your life, I'm ready to fight you anytime."
