Peak Master Qiu always kept his word; if he ever set foot in the academy again, he'd probably be beaten to a pulp by this straightforward Peak Master. Qiu Changyun secretly resented all of this, but he could do nothing about Luo Jiujiang—he lived in the same courtyard with You Su at night, and sometimes separated from Young Master You during the day, but he was always surrounded by a group of people. Even if Qiu Changyun wanted to, he wouldn't have the courage to do it in public.

But he was still in the academy after all, and before leaving, he had a chance to do one last thing.

…

"Brother Qiu, what did you ask me to do?" The sister standing opposite him was dressed in Yaofeng clothing, her face very calm. Yaofeng disciples are always busy, but she and Qiu Changyun stood face to face for a quarter of an hour, without any anxiety or impatience between her brows. She even spoke with understanding: "...But Brother, are you having some financial difficulties? I have accumulated some money over the years. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Qiu Changyun: "..."

It would have been better if she hadn't said this, but after she said it, Qiu Changyun almost vomited blood - not for anything else, but because after he was expelled from the academy by Qiu Shi on the spot, Mr. You, who was rumored to be "elegant and graceful, and would never give anyone any trouble", actually ordered a storage bag of spirit stones on the spot and sent someone to give it to him as travel expenses!

He may be short of everything now, but he has quite a lot of spirit stones. However, these spirit stones are both uncomfortable to hold and hot to the touch!

Qiu Changyun swallowed his breath and forced a smile. He bowed and said, "No, no need. Junior sister, there is only one thing I can't let go of before I leave, and I want to entrust it to you..."

The woman hurriedly supported him and said, "Brother, you saved my life. It doesn't matter whether you ask for help or not. If you need anything, just tell me!"

Qiu Changyun stood up and put on a sad face. "I was expelled from the academy this time because I was blinded by anger. I deserve it. There's nothing much to say. But that Luo Jiujiang... Sigh, he is really a piece of shit!"

At this point, he couldn't help but show some emotion. "Although he and I competed in public, the details were known only to the two of us. He repeatedly provoked me, not to mention his eyes, tone, and gestures, deliberately stirring up trouble, toying with me like a toy! Now I'm leaving the academy, but I can't let this cancer continue to harm my classmates! Junior sister, I'm relying on you for everything."

Qiu Changyun felt that his speech was passionate, but the only listener seemed somewhat indifferent.

The quiet woman was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "Brother, I've seen Mr. Luo from afar, but I really can't believe he's that kind of person."

Qiu Changyun heard the hint of refusal in her words and was horrified, "Junior Sister, you don't trust me? My saving your life is no more trustworthy than your looking at him?"

"...How dare I distrust you, Senior Brother? Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Mr. Luo from now on. If I see him misbehaving, I will report him to the academy and stop him from doing anything, even if it means my own death." The quiet woman noticed that there was still resentment in Qiu Changyun's eyes, so she said tactfully, "Senior Brother Qiu, I heard about the origin of the incident that day."

"..." The dispute was naturally about him bullying the independent cultivators first; that was an undeniable fact. Qiu Changyun's face paled, then paled. After a moment, he said gloomily, "Forget it. You're a woman, so it's natural to be afraid. If you don't want to, forget it. For the sake of me saving you from the beast, just pretend you didn't hear anything. I'll go find Junior Sister Hong."

"...Wait." The quiet woman's expression finally changed. "Don't bother two masters with one thing. Why bother Hongmei, Senior Brother? Whatever you want me to do, just tell me. Why would I refuse?"

You've clearly been pushing the issue, are you thinking I'm blind? Qiu Changyun sneered inwardly, but remained restrained, saying, "I'm just trying to get rid of this cancer quickly, regardless of the tactics used. A gentleman shouldn't be deceived, but you have no such scruples for villains... Junior Sister, are you willing to tell Master Yin Feng that this scoundrel has disturbed your reputation?"

For the first time since they met, the quiet woman's beautifully curved brows furrowed in a frown. "...Brother, do you really know what you're talking about?"

The head of Yao Peak was known for his strange reputation of not helping those in need. He had a strange appearance, aloof behavior, and a cold demeanor, but his actions were not completely unnoticeable. The older disciples in the academy knew that this Senior Brother Yin seemed to have a problem—he couldn't stand the young, beautiful female disciples of his peak being disrespected by others.

To say he regarded the women of Manshan Peak as his own because he was ugly and a toad craving swan flesh was not entirely true. When he really ordered his disciples around, he made no distinction between male and female. It wasn't the first time he had frightened a female disciple into tears by having her skin a caterpillar or gut a snow toad.

But to say that he became abnormal because of his obvious bachelor fate and could not bear to see the affection between men and women is nonsense. He is frugal with words and once personally praised two loving couples in the peak: "It's rare, keep it up." Although the disciples of Yao Peak all believed that he was expressing that it was incredible that they could squeeze out time for a tryst in a place like Yao Peak where even drinking water was necessary.

It was this kind of peak master. When a female disciple was insulted and molested one time and came to him in grief and anger to complain (the disciples of "Yao" Peak later unanimously believed that the senior sister must have cried half her brain out that day, and her anger made her twice as bold), he sent a challenge letter on the spot, which almost made the young master of the small world never see the sun again.

Afterwards, even the dean was alarmed and came to the scene to mediate. The young master managed to save his life, but when he left, he still suffered from hemiplegia, which would never be cured in his lifetime.
