Chapter 106: Ye Fei, the Beloved Darling
Li Yuan glanced indifferently at Su Haochen, whose face was as pale as paper, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
That smile, in Su Haochen's eyes, was nothing short of blatant mockery!
"Li, where's Xiao Fei? Why can't I see her?" Huang Rongyu looked around but didn't see that thin figure, so she asked.
Li Yuan replied, "Ye Fei was slightly injured during her training and is currently resting and recuperating in the dormitory."
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, the three of them immediately looked tense: "Injured?! Where are you injured? How serious is it?"
Li Yuan: "..."
Li Yuan: "It's just a minor internal injury, nothing to worry about."
“Internal injuries are different from external injuries. It would be bad if the tendons and meridians were damaged.” As he spoke, the Grand Elder took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Li Yuan without hesitation. “Give this to Ye Fei.”
"Me too! Me too!" The Seventh Elder took out another porcelain bottle from the crimson jade bracelet on her wrist.
“Then I will also…” Huang Rongyu also took out a golden porcelain bottle from her storage ring. “This is the Meridian Continuation Pill. Li, you should give it to Xiao Fei as well.”
Li Yuan watched as the three of them took out their own pills, and accepted them all without changing his expression, saying, "I will give them to her."
Seeing this scene, Su Haochen's eyes widened in horror, and a growing bitterness welled up in his heart. Ye Fei, whom he had once despised to the extreme, was now being loved and cared for by so many people...
"Let's get back to the main topic." The First Elder coughed, his sharp gaze sweeping across Su Haochen's face. "Li, tell me the cause and effect of your dispute with Su Haochen."
Li Yuan said calmly, "This matter dates back to a long time ago—Ye Fei once gave Su Haochen a Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill as a token of their love. However, Ye Fei did not know that Su Haochen had already colluded with Ye Ning."
"Now that Su Haochen and Ye Ning are engaged, the marriage between the Ye and Su families is common knowledge. It is perfectly reasonable for Ye Fei to ask Su Haochen to return the Spirit Gathering Pill."
"But Su Haochen kept the Spirit Gathering Pill for himself, so he can no longer return this token to Ye Fei."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder's face instantly turned frosty. She glared at Su Haochen and said in an unfriendly tone, "You ungrateful brat! Not only did you betray Xiao Fei'er, but you also tried to take the Spirit Gathering Pill for yourself! What kind of bewitching potion did Ye Ning give you?!"
Huang Rongyu glanced at Su Haochen expressionlessly, then turned to the Grand Elder and bowed, saying, "Grand Elder, such a wicked cultivator is not worthy of entering Lingfeng Academy."
The elder stroked his long white beard, his scrutinizing gaze falling on Su Haochen's face.
Su Haochen was rendered speechless by Li Yuan's suppression, but he could feel the Grand Elder's gaze sweeping over him like a sharp blade.
If looks could kill, he would probably be a pile of mud by now...
Li Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Before we went to the Forest of Fireflies for training, Ye Fei and Su Haochen discussed the token. In the end, they agreed on 500,000 gold coins as compensation for the Spirit Gathering Pill. Ye Fei asked Su Haochen to raise 500,000 within five days."
"Today is the day to collect the debt, but Su Haochen not only failed to raise 500,000, he also brazenly claimed that he could only pay 100,000. The two elders can judge who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
The elder stared coldly at Su Haochen with a stern face: "If I'm not mistaken, that Spirit Gathering Pill was originally intended for Ye Fei to re-gather her spiritual energy. She gave you the Spirit Gathering Pill because she trusts you."
