Dong Qiwen realized something was amiss after he finished speaking, and quickly sneered, "I can't stand seeing people do well? I'll pick on whoever's students outdo mine."
The sneer and mockery in his eyes deepened. He glanced at Dong Qiwen and did not hide the contempt in his voice at all: "Instructor Fang, are you referring to yourself by the 'who'?"
Fang Xun looked at him calmly.
Dong Qiwen felt his anger rising in waves, especially when he saw Xie Xihe standing quietly and obediently beside Fang Xun. The scene of him being restrained by her and fed dirt that day immediately emerged in his mind uncontrollably.
His blood surged, and he sneered again, saying, "Teacher Fang seems very confident in his students. But since you said that, I'd like to ask you, which of your students has surpassed my students?"
"Him?" His gaze fell on Chu Xuan. After a moment, he sneered and looked away without any extra comments.
It was a complete disregard, as if Chu Xuan was totally unworthy of mention to him.
His gaze shifted, passing through Lin Jiangfei and Su Jinchuan in turn, and he sneered and shook his head again.
In fact, Lin Jiangfei and Su Jinchuan are both quite capable. They reached the graduation standards more than half a year ago, and at that time they had only joined Dawn Light for about two and a half years.
It was one of the more successful batches.
But it's just good, and there is still a big gap compared to Ji Danyun, who reached the graduation standards after only one year in the hospital.
To be honest, even if Chu Xuan hadn't had that incident, he would still be the number one in Chenxi, but if compared with Ji Danyun, he would actually be a little worse.
After all, Ji Danyun not only has a cultivation speed that exceeds that of ordinary people, but he is also an ancient alchemist.
This identity alone is enough to crush the vast majority of students.
Dong Qiwen's mind shifted, and he finally turned his gaze to Xie Xihe. A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he said, "It seems that Instructor Fang is talking about Student Xie."
He looked Xie Xihe up and down, nodding thoughtfully, "Student Xie's cultivation talent and strength are unquestionable, but when it comes to surpassing my Dan Yun, I'm afraid she still lacks a bit of maturity, unless she is also..."
"Unless I'm also an ancient alchemist, right?" Xie Xihe took over his conversation, his eyebrows relaxed, and nodded, "Yes, I am an ancient alchemist."
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
After a brief silence, laughter broke out from all directions, especially from Dong Qiwen, who laughed so exaggeratedly that his face almost convulsed.
He laughed and said, "I heard that Student Xie's family is a doctor and has been selling various pills for a long time. So, does Student Xie think that just because he can make a pill he is an ancient alchemy master?"
"Medicine pills and ancient elixirs are two completely different things. Student Xie, please don't say that again. Otherwise, not only will you lose face, but your teacher will lose face too."
He turned to look at Fang Xun and said with a smile, "Teacher Fang said so, right?"
Fang Xun looked at him steadily, and suddenly chuckled: "Whether it is true or not, Teacher Dong will know soon."
Dong Qiwen didn't expect Fang Xun to react like this. He was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he saw Fang Xun looking past him and reminded him, "Mr. Mu is here."
Everyone was slightly startled and quickly turned around to look. They found that Mr. Mu had arrived at the square at some point and was looking at the crowd with a sullen face.
Well, I was mainly looking at Dong Qiwen and Ji Danyun beside him.
A strange feeling arose in the two of them and they frowned slightly.
But Mr. Mu had already withdrawn his gaze and walked to the front of the crowd.
But he didn't immediately mention the elixir that everyone was most concerned about, but instead asked, "What happened? Why is there so much noise?"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to speak for a moment.
It wasn't until Elder Mu asked again that one student stepped out from the crowd, raised his hand, and answered, "Elder Mu, it's Junior Sister Xie. She said she's an ancient alchemist. Everyone thought it was funny, so she was just joking."
Mu Lao's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Oh? How is it interesting?"
The student's name was Gong Liang, and he was the one who asked Ji Danyun for medicine but was refused that day.
Gong Liang had been looking for opportunities to cause trouble for Xie Xihe during this period, but he hadn't seen Xie Xihe for half a month since that day.
This month, Xie Xihe finally came, but he plunged into the training room and still couldn't even see him.
He couldn't even find any fault.
Fortunately, today finally came, the monthly pill distribution day, and Xie Xihe finally showed up.
Gong Liang secretly glanced in the direction of Ji Danyun and saw that although she still looked calm and indifferent, there was a slight frown between her brows, which made him feel moved.
The slightest hesitation faded away, and he replied, "Of course I find Schoolmate Xie interesting. She's only been in the academy for a short time, and has only been exposed to ancient martial arts for a short time. I'm afraid she hasn't even touched a real ancient pill, yet she has the audacity to claim that she's an ancient pill master. It's really interesting."
After he finished speaking, he immediately winked at several students he had contacted early in the morning.
The other students understood and immediately followed suit in criticizing Xie Xihe.
Old Mu listened quietly, with no expression on his face, but a deep coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
After a long while, the seven or eight students finally criticized all the crimes Xie Xihe had committed since she entered the academy. Gong Liang then spoke on her behalf, "Master Mu, although Xie Xihe has extraordinary talent in cultivation, she is disrespectful to teachers and classmates, unfriendly, and acts cruelly. Now she even tells lies like she's an ancient alchemy master, which is easily exposed."
"This shows how corrupt his character is!"
He said righteously, "No matter how talented a person like this is, she's not worthy of being a student at Dawn's Light! If she were to graduate and leave, she'd be a cancer in society and another disgrace to Dawn's Light!"
"To prevent future trouble, I feel we must stop the damage immediately and abolish her cultivation and drive her out of Dawn's Light!"
Amidst the silence, Fang Xun spoke up, "Student Gong may have forgotten that Xihe has only been a member of Dawn's Light for less than a month. Her cultivation is innate and has nothing to do with Dawn's Light."
It is precisely because of this that she is even more unworthy!
They practiced day and night, but after several years they only reached the fourth or fifth level of ancient martial arts. However, Xie Xihe possessed the power of the seventh level of ancient martial arts without doing anything!
This is totally unfair!
Gong Liang said this in his heart, but it was not easy to say it openly. He changed his mind and was about to say "Then just kick him out of the academy", when Mr. Mu, who had been listening quietly since Gong Liang and others started criticizing Xie Xihe, spoke.
He directly called out the names of about twenty people, and then said to the empty space on the side: "You, stand over there."
