Although the book had been retrieved, the students' fighting did not stop. Elder Mu had just finished arranging things for Xiao Bo and Chunhu Siqiong when he heard the commotion.
He rushed in, only to be met with this chaotic scene, which nearly made him furious.
Fighting has long been strictly prohibited in the library. In such a sacred place, it's one thing for these students to start fighting, but to do it in a group at the same time is another!
Is this as if he's dead?
"Mr. Lao!"
Before Elder Mu entered, Jun Feijue had already informed Fan Qiyue, so he had already withdrawn the Xuanli silk thread and was standing obediently to the side reading a book.
All the trainees were naturally granted freedom of movement, but unfortunately, before they could retract their actions, Elder Mu saw them.
Seeing Elder Mu's angry expression, the students' faces instantly turned pale. They immediately stood up and pointed at Fan Qiyue, saying, "Elder Mu... it was him, it was him who used Xuan Qi threads to control us to fight!"
"Yes, we're not the ones who want to fight."
All the students nodded in unison and looked at Fan Qiyue.
"Explain yourself to me!"
Although Elder Mu was very angry, he was too impressed by the strength of Di Moyu and the others, so he believed what the students said.
“I…we were just reading the book on our own, but it just so happened that we had chosen the same book as them, and then he started doing it.”
One of the students wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "They're just taking advantage of their higher cultivation level to bully us!"
"That's right, Elder Mu, you must stand up for us!"
The other trainees also looked aggrieved and asked Elder Mu for help.
They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
At the time, Elder Mu was chasing after Xiao Bo and didn't notice what was happening here. Now that so many students are pointing it out, he can't help but have doubts.
However, Elder Mu was no ordinary person, and naturally he would not easily believe one side of the story or be used as a pawn.
"What do you say?"
Elder Mu remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at Fan Qiyue, waiting for his explanation.
"I didn't lay a hand on them, but they still bullied us."
As Fan Qiyue spoke, her eyes instantly reddened. She glanced fearfully at the menacing group of students and said, "They...they kept stealing our cultivation techniques. Even though they were unsuitable, they deliberately tried to sabotage us. We knew that fighting was not allowed in the library, so we tolerated it. But they wouldn't give up. Later, we said we could return some of the supplies, but the number of people was limited. As a result, they started fighting each other. It really had nothing to do with me."
Fan Qiyue looked frail, her voice was soft, and her eyes were filled with tears, making her appear extremely pitiful.
Even an elderly man like Mu felt a little soft-hearted after seeing this.
Such a cute boy doesn't seem like the type to lie.
Most importantly, Fan Qiyue also brought up the issue of rationing.
Elder Mu, with his profound experience, understands the true nature of the cultivation world best; cultivators are incredibly ruthless when it comes to resources.
Therefore, the students might not believe that these trainees were fighting over limited supplies, but in Elder Mu's view, it was perfectly normal.
Therefore, the scales in his heart have begun to tip somewhat in favor of Fan Qiyue.
The students watching from the sidelines were completely bewildered by Fan Qiyue's acting skills.
Damn it, he was so domineering and aggressive just a moment ago, and now he's as weak as a little white rabbit!
Are you a reincarnation of a drama queen?!
Could you be any more shameless?!
