Chapter 699: Prejudice
These words immediately created an eerie atmosphere in the study.
All the elders knew that the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder had a bad relationship, and no matter how much they disagreed, they generally wouldn't make their differences public.
But judging from the Seventh Elder's tense words just now...
The Second Elder laughed in anger: "Just because I am one of the elders of Lingfeng Academy! I think it is very necessary to thoroughly investigate students of unknown origin!"
"If you don't want me to misunderstand that kid, then make him reveal his identity! I want to see just how powerful his family is!"
The dean gave the second elder a cold look: "Enough, second elder."
The Second Elder was indignant: "Dean, even you are protecting that kid?!"
"Given the nature of demons, they would never hide their bloodlust for humans," the dean said calmly. "If Xiao Li were truly a demon, he would have no reason to hesitate; he could slaughter everyone in the academy the moment he entered."
“Since he enrolled, he has gone through trials such as the Month of Trials, the Spirit Master Exchange Conference, and the Cangzhou Grand Gathering. He is dedicated to bringing glory to the academy and even won the top three places on the individual points leaderboard. On the territory of the hidden families, he took away the honor that originally belonged to the hidden families. If he is a demon, why would he do these things?”
"No one can prove he is not a demon, but no one can prove he is a demon either."
The dean, unusually stern, spoke in a tone that was far from his usual gentleness, instead becoming cold: "Second brother, don't use your prejudice against Chenglan to inflict on an innocent junior."
The second elder gritted his teeth, but in the end, he could only remain silent, seething with resentment.
Seeing this, the dean raised his eyes and glanced at the Seventh Elder: "Chenglan, you may sit down as well."
The Seventh Elder sat down with a blank expression.
The tense atmosphere eased temporarily at this moment, and the dean continued, "Some time ago, there were rumors of young women going missing in Lingyun, Xingluo, and Wushuang kingdoms. In addition, some female students who participated in the Trial Month were brutally murdered in Panlong Peak. The Wanjian Sect suspects that the Demon Clan may have already infiltrated the human realm."
"Most of these rumors have come to nothing at the moment, but all the major powers in the human realm are on high alert, and so is our Lingfeng Academy."
The Seventh Elder listened quietly to the conversation between the Dean and the other elders, remaining silent.
She suddenly realized that Xiao Fei'er also had parasitic magical plants on her body.
The Seventh Elder's expression darkened considerably upon thinking that Ye Fei had had contact with the Demon Clan.
...
While the dean and the seven elders of the academy held an emergency meeting, Ye Fei was cultivating in her dormitory.
From morning till night, Ye Fei spent all her time cultivating. After finishing her cultivation, she would look at the manuals and refine pills, completely oblivious to everything else.
Ye Fei was not unaware of the matter that was currently causing a great uproar among the major forces in the human realm.
Her current status is special, so it's best for her to avoid showing her face as much as possible to avoid causing trouble.
and……
Ye Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, put down the secret manual in her hand, looked at the full moon outside the window, and showed worry on her face.
It's another night of the full moon. I wonder how Li Yuan is doing now, in the Demon Realm...
Thinking of the fiery poison on Li Yuan's body, Ye Fei lowered her eyes, unable to concentrate on the manual anymore.
Just then, Ye Fei sensed someone entering her dormitory courtyard. She put away the secret manual, put on an outer garment, and went out of the room.
