Tai Shi Xiao Xiao felt very conflicted when looking at Guan Yue. Guan Yue was truly a promising talent; if he continued on this path, his achievements would be formidable. However, his overly rigid personality and unwillingness to compromise made it difficult for him to navigate relationships, even disregarding the royal family of the Southern Source Empire. It was likely that his life would not be smooth sailing.
Just moments ago, during Guan Yue's confrontation with others, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had reached a consensus with Nantian. Tai Shi Xiao Xiao would remain at Qilin Academy, but he wouldn't need to stay in the academy for training all the time; he could go out and gain experience. He still needed to help the academy cultivate Mind Master talents. After consulting with Futian, who agreed that Guan Yue should also continue at Qilin Academy, Nantian proposed that Guan Yue must not become his enemy in the future.
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao naturally agreed. She believed that currently, Qilin Academy was the most suitable place for Guan Yue to train. After they reached an agreement, they revealed themselves together. Since Guan Yue was studying here, it was very likely that Nantian and Futian would meet and possibly reconcile. She was most hopeful for a reconciliation between them. The origins of their grievances were truly complicated.
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao understood that in Futian's heart, he was far less stubborn about past events than Nantian. This time, when Futian went out to settle old scores, he did not seek trouble with Nantian. It was Nantian who couldn't let go of the past and made things difficult for Guan Yue. Ideally, as the head of an academy, one should treat all students equally, regardless of their background or origins, only considering their character and potential.
The current issue was persuading Guan Yue to continue staying at Qilin Academy, but Tai Shi Xiao Xiao did not expect that Guan Yue had gone to the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone and even gained recognition from Duanmu Changying, being acknowledged as a god-grandson.
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao slowly approached Guan Yue, who still radiated intense Vital Energy Fluctuation, clearly not yet fully calmed down.
Upon seeing the Grand Historian Vice Dean approach, Guan Yue immediately bowed and said, "Vice Dean, I have returned as promised. However, Teacher He and others were trapped by Huangfu Qingkong. I went with Sima Xiaosa and three others but were innocently bound and detained by them. Now both Huangfu Qingkong and Sima Xiaosa are unaccounted for. Please assist in searching for them."
What Guan Yue said revealed another side of him: he was still a caring child. In this situation, he did not mention his own grievances but prioritized his friends instead; such character was truly rare!
Immediately, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao sent out a message and then gently said to Guan Yue, "I have received the news you asked her to bring. That is why I came here with the dean. Guan Yue, you have really grown quickly."
Guan Yue nodded and replied, "I gained a lot from this trip to the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone."
"We have already contacted your master, Futian. He hopes you can continue your studies at Qilin Academy." As she observed Guan Yue's expression, she continued slowly, "I have already discussed this with the dean; you must not become his enemy in the future. He will continue to nurture you. Is there any problem with that?"
"Me? Continue cultivating at Qilin Academy?" It took a moment for Guan Yue to process this. His mind was currently focused on contemplating his future path, and suddenly hearing that he was expected to continue studying at the academy left him momentarily unable to adapt.
"Dean Kintian has already agreed. I will also continue staying at Qilin Academy. Your master will come to have a long talk with him; their grievances will be resolved by themselves. As the next generation, you should not get involved. Do you understand?" Seeing that Guan Yue did not immediately object, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity to press on.
g Guan Yue nodded naturally. Like Tai Shi Xiao Xiao, he believed that matters from the previous generation should be resolved by them; unless it reached a point of extermination or extinction, it was better for the next generation to stay out of it.
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved and then asked, "Do you have any other requests now?"
Guan Yue replied directly, "Grand Historian Vice Dean, I want Teacher He, Yin Jingjing, Huangfu Qingkong, Sima Xiaosa, Xiahou Xiong, and Jiang Tianlan to come over. We need to clarify today's issues together and uncover the truth. Let's all speak openly in front of each other and clear Huangfu Qingkong's name, as well as restore my and Sima Xiaosa's, Lei Dazhuang's, Marco's, and others' reputations."
"Understood." The Grand Historian Vice Dean sent another message. This time it was in bright red, indicating that it was urgent.
At this moment, Dean Kintian also approached. The Grand Historian Vice Dean went over and exchanged a few brief words with him. Seeing the dean nod, Guan Yue knew he agreed to call everyone over, which significantly reduced her resentment towards him.
Before long, Teacher He and the others arrived at the scene. Even many other students came to watch after hearing that Guan Yue had returned and caused a stir.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Zihongfang, Ruo Yi, and others who had already regained consciousness were present as well; they were eager to witness the unfolding events. Everyone was curious about how things would be handled.
He Bi was the most curious; she had heard many stories about Guan Yue but had never seen how she dealt with problems firsthand. Thus, she was filled with anticipation, waiting to see Guan Yue's performance.
Teacher He felt anxious; he didn't know if the dean would intervene in handling the issue now that the Grand Historian Vice Dean was present. He knew the Grand Historian Vice Dean favored Guan Yue, which made him very worried. However, experience told him that calmness was needed at this moment.
When Huangfu Qingkong and Sima Xiaosa were brought over under escort, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao raised her hand and said, "Today we are here to clarify one matter: Did Huangfu Qingkong assault Yin Jingjing? What roles did Guan Yue and Sima Xiaosa play in this? Were they wrongfully accused? First, let's have Teacher He introduce the situation at that time."
Teacher He pulled Yin Jingjing onto a platform and pointed at her while she was still crying. He addressed everyone: "Since I arranged for Yin Jingjing to join the guard team, Huangfu Qingkong has harbored ill intentions towards her. Today is a day off for Yin Jingjing. Under the pretense of visiting her, Huangfu Qingkong took the opportunity to enter her room while other students were attending classes. He forcibly assaulted Yin Jingjing, causing her immense physical and emotional pain. To this day, she remains trapped in her suffering. We have an obligation and responsibility to bring him to justice according to the academy's regulations."
Turning to face everyone again, Teacher He continued: "While we were capturing Huangfu Qingkong, Guan Yue and Sima Xiaosa suddenly barged into Yin Jingjing's room. Why were they there at that moment? As everyone knows, Huangfu Qingkong has been closely associated with Guan Yue. It is evident that they must have conspired beforehand and were likely observing from nearby. If Huangfu Qingkong's assault failed or if something unexpected happened, Guan Yue and the others intended to rush in to rescue her. Therefore, I decided on the spot to detain Guan Yue and Sima Xiaosa. I believe everyone can understand their intentions. I think my decision was correct."
At this point, Huangfu Qingkong shouted loudly: "I did not assault Yin Jingjing! I am being framed! This is an injustice!"
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao said firmly: "Everyone quiet down; let’s hear from Yin Jingjing about what Huangfu Qingkong did to you." Her voice was very serious and authoritative.
Yin Jingjing lowered her head and remained silent. Teacher He grew impatient and pushed her: "Speak up! How did Huangfu Qingkong bully you?"
Yin Jingjing's face turned red as she whispered: "He tore my underwear... then he wanted to..."
"Teacher He" shouted loudly, "Just now, 'Yin Jingjing' said that 'Huangfu Qingkong' first tore her clothes off, including her underwear, and then he was going to force himself on her."
'Huangfu Qingkong' knew this was his last chance, so he shouted back, "Yin Jingjing, you can't lie; you can't frame me. I am innocent. These falsehoods were created after 'Teacher He' came in. 'Teacher He', you are a beast; you are framing me."
'Tai Shi Xiao Xiao' pointed at 'Huangfu Qingkong' and said, "Next, please let 'Huangfu Qingkong' explain the situation at that time."
"I... I really like 'Yin Jingjing'. We often exchanged cultivation experiences together, so I thought she liked me too. That's why I frequently went to 'Yin Jingjing's' dormitory. But unexpectedly, shortly after I arrived at 'Yin Jingjing's' dorm today, 'Teacher He' barged in. As soon as he entered, he immediately accused me of wanting to assault 'Yin Jingjing', and it was he who tore 'Yin Jingjing's' clothes apart and also tore my clothes. He even made 'Yin Jingjing' scratch two bloody marks on my chest with her fingers. Then he called in the 'Guard Member' outside the door and forcibly bound me. He told me that as long as I admitted to assaulting 'Yin Jingjing', he would definitely go easy on me. I am truly being framed; I ask both deans to investigate thoroughly."
At this moment, 'Huangfu Qingkong' was desperately explaining; he did not want to remain silent any longer. He wanted to seize this last opportunity. Moreover, he knew that this opportunity must have been fought for by 'Guan Yue'.
"Who participated in the operation to capture 'Huangfu Qingkong'? Was it that 'Guard Member'? Please describe the situation in detail without any fabrication." 'Tai Shi Xiao Xiao' was very thoughtful and even called all the participating 'Guard Members'. Her tone naturally carried an irresistible willpower.
"It was us, the Six People. We had been waiting outside the door. About half an hour after 'Teacher He' entered the room, he finally let us in. When we entered, we found that 'Huangfu Qingkong's' shirt was already unbuttoned, and 'Yin Jingjing's' shirt was also unbuttoned; there were two scratch marks on 'Huangfu Qingkong's' chest." The six 'Guard Members' immediately stepped forward to report the situation truthfully.
"Half an hour? 'Teacher He', how do you explain this half an hour? Were you setting up the scene?" 'Tai Shi Xiao Xiao' suddenly changed her tone sharply.
'Teacher He' became anxious immediately: "I didn't! I didn't! I was just educating 'Huangfu Qingkong'. He indeed wanted to assault 'Yin Jingjing'; she can prove it."
'Tai Shi Xiao Xiao' sternly asked again, "'Yin Jingjing', tell the truth: did 'Huangfu Qingkong' really want to assault you?"
'Yin Jingjing' turned to look at 'Teacher He', then nodded affirmatively towards 'Tai Shi Xiao Xiao'.
