“Fifteen years old is considered young?” Yan Tianhen stated disdainfully, “My family’s two young tigers are just around this age, nonetheless they know what can be done and what can’t be done. As a master, you don’t know how to teach your pet; you only know how to spoil it. Inevitably, there will be a day where bystanders will teach it a lesson for you!”

Li Mohan frowned slightly and said, “To let demonic beast pets break into the Demonic Beast Garden and kill demonic beasts inside is still considered wrong.”

Yan Tianhen looked towards Li Mohan.

Li Mohan indifferently said, “Since this is the case, Yan Tianhen, you will copy the rules and regulations of the Academy ten times in the next few days, and then write a review report and hand them into me together.”

Yan Tianhen breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Li Mohan was indeed a fair and kind person, his approach was very appropriate. He said, “Tianhen receives his punishment. I’ve troubled Senior Martial Brother.”

Li Mohan nodded and said, “In the future, leave some leeway when doing things. Yin Changge–“

Yin Changge stepped forward and said, “Senior Martial Brother Li.”

Li Mohan spoke, “You are involved in the situation. Come with me to go with me to see the Master Judge, to tell him the whole story from the beginning to the end while providing him your account.”

After all was said and done, it was necessary to expel several disciples, so it was not a small matter. Li Mohan naturally had to make a report to the judge, and then announce it to the dean of the courtyards that these disciples were located, and finally issue a joint order.

Yin Changge lowered his hand, letting his sleeve cover his wrist, and whispered, “Yes.”

The news that Myriad Dao Academy expelled five disciples spread throughout the sect the next day, and many disciples talked about it spiritedly- after all, the last time the academy expelled disciples was a few decades ago, when Feng Jiuqing killed his teacher and seized his sword.

And the reason for expelling the disciples this time was also very harsh. It read “Using strength to bully the weak, not knowing any repentance”. And the story of Little Prince Yan, who took two white tigers and rushed into Demonic Beast Garden to kill several demonic beasts, was also spread throughout the four courtyards of East, West, North and South.

While expressing admiration or loathing or dread towards Little Prince Yan, most of the disciples who were gossiping held the mentality of watching a good show, waiting for him to be brutally beaten by Ying Guanchao, who secretly stored up power, in the coming assessment.

After all, this incident also involved Ying Guanchao. Although he was the initiator, because he did not leave much evidence and many people vouched for him, so he was not expelled from the sect, but he was still reprimanded by the dean and was forbidden from accepting missions for a full year.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Ying Guanchao didn’t hate Yan Tianhen.

On the day before the examination began, the ratio of the odds of winning and losing between Yan Tianhen and Ying Guanchao had reached one to two hundred, and almost everyone had betted on Yan Tianhen losing, with the greatest amount of bets on him of losing within twenty moves.

When he heard this, Yan Tianhen laughed it off, then personally went to a gambling stall and bet all the contribution points he had on his own victory.

Yan Tianhen said especially calmly, “No need, even if I lose, there is still someone who will raise me.”

Qi Feiqing, “…..”

Yan Tianhen patted Qi Feiqing’s shoulder and said with deep implications, “If you are willing to bet on me, you definitely won’t suffer losses.”

Qi Feiqing had a bitter expression and said, “No, I can’t understand, where does your confidence come from? In any case, you and him differ by a whole cultivation realm, and you also hold such a useless sword in your hand. If you can win, it’s against the natural order of things.”

Yan Tianhen, “…..”

Why do I feel the urge to whip someone? 

Yan Tianhen sinisterly smiled and said, “People in the mountain naturally have their own clever ways. In any case, I will never cheat you.”

Qi Feiqing, “…..Okay.”

Just when Qi Feiqing was wavering between betting and not betting, Yin Nian rushed in with great enthusiasm. As soon as he stood still, he slapped his leaf card on the table and said, “Three thousand contribution points, all betting on Yan Tianhen winning!”

“Alright!”

Yin Nian’s voice caught Yan Tianhen’s attention.

“Yo, Young Master Yin,” Yan Tianhen shouted.

Yin Nian turned his head around and saw Yan Tianhen and Qi Feiqing standing in the corner. He immediately raised his eyebrows and came their way. “You also came to bet?”

“Yeah.” Yan Tianhen nodded and said, “You must seize opportunities to make a fortune.”

Yin Nian smiled and asked, “Who are you betting on?”

Yan Tianhen touched his nose and said, “Betting on myself.”

Yin Nian laughed and said, “It’s good to bet on yourself. Even if you lose, you can’t blame it on others.”

Yan Tianhen, …What you said is very reasonable, but for some reason, it sounds displeasing.

Although Qi Feiqing wanted to draw his sword whenever he saw Yin Nian, it was improper to draw his sword while they were in the academy. In addition, he was really curious, so he asked, “Everyone else all bet on Ah Hen losing, so why do you want to bet on Ah Hen winning? Could it be you know what his ultimate move is?”

“You actually have an ultimate move?” Yin Nian raised his eyebrows and said, “I am not betting on you because I have confidence in you; I merely want to test my luck — after all, your ratio is the highest among everyone. If I win the bet, won’t I win big? I am normally too lazy, so I have very few contribution points left, so now I can only play big.”

Yan Tianhen, “…..”

Yan Tianhen was unconvinced and said, “I have looked before, the odds between Longyao Lingguang and Xuan Ziyun are also very large.”

“That was before yesterday.” Yin Nian said, “Haven’t you heard? Just this morning, Ying Guanchao announced that this time, he will have you walk up the arena but be carried down. He swore to never give up until he had beaten you within an inch of your life. Ying Guanchao was so energetic that people assumed he would go all out, so there were even more people who bet on him winning.”

Yan Tianhen nodded and said, “He has ambition and ideals.” Unfortunately, the enemy he met is me.

Yin Nian pretended to sigh and said, “Little Prince, you have to make an effort. I’ve bet all my possessions on you. If you lose, in the future I will have to drink the northwest breeze.”

Yan Tianhen said with deep affection, “Don’t worry, brother, when the time comes, I will definitely accompany you to drink the breeze.”

Yin Nian, “…..”

Yin Nian decided to go outside and cool off in the wind.

After Yin Nian left, Qi Feiqing silently bet his points on Yan Tianhen. Yan Tianhen said blankly, “What made you suddenly make up your mind?”

Qi Feiqing gritted his teeth and said, “Even Yin Nian has bet on you. As your good friend, how could I let him bet before me?”

Yan Tianhen pulled up corners of his mouth, and suddenly he couldn’t think of a rebuttal.

After placing the bets, as soon as he returned to the dormitory, Yan Tianhen ran into Shen Congrong, who was waiting in the courtyard. “Elder Brother Shen, what is your business here?”

Shen Congrong calmly took a deep breath and said, “I already know about Changge’s matter. I came here to thank you.”

Yan Tianhen waved his hand and said, “When was it your turn to thank me? Changge is my friend, and it is reasonable for me to help him, plus it took very little effort.”

It’s just that Yin Changge probably did not need his help at all. Yin Changge had always kept silent, not uttering a sound, seemingly resigned, but in fact he was unwilling to provoke an argument. He had been collecting evidence the entire time, just waiting for the right time to come and give the enemy a fatal blow.

If Li Mohan hadn’t mentioned the time limit of one year, Yan Tianhen wouldn’t have noticed that there was such a rule, but Yin Changge’s crystal jade record started exactly a year ago. His mind was as deep as the sea. He was actually able to patiently bear it for so long, which made people admire his temperament and state of mind.

Shen Congrong looked at Yan Tianhen. He hesitated, then said, “Changge has been avoiding me, so I ask that you pass on a message from me.”

Yan Tianhen lifted his chin, showing off a very smug appearance, and said, “You might as well tell me what you want to say before I decide whether to convey it for you.”

Shen Congrong, “…..”

If it wasn’t for Yin Changge avoiding him these days, Shen Congrong wouldn’t have asked Yan Tianhen to act as a middleman for him.

However, things had already developed to this point, so Shen Congrong said, “This one has been wandering around dangerous areas all year round. This one is a person who doesn’t care about his life and is desperate, and carrying a blood feud, so he and I are not the same kind of people.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Are you rejecting him in a roundabout way?”

Shen Congrong said, “We don’t walk the same path to begin with, and I don’t want to harm him and make him regret it.”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “Alright, I’ll convey it for you.”

Shen Congrong cupped his hands, bowed and said, “Much thanks.”

After Shen Congrong’s departure, Yan Tianhen found Yin Changge, who was hiding in his room, unwilling to come out, and conveyed Shen Congrong’s words to him.

After passing on the message, Yan Tianhen said, “If he didn’t add the words ‘blood feud’, it would still be fine, but once he added them, I think you might as well give up for now. I have a senior martial brother who bears a blood feud. His temper is obviously a little paranoid and detached. Although he treated us very well, he tormented both himself and the senior martial brother who liked him for many years, and it took years to get a positive result. Who knows how far their relationship will get.”

Yin Changge let out a great sigh. After a moment, although he was disappointed, he was not obstinate. He said, “In this case, I won’t think about this any more.”

Shen Congrong had his blood feud, and Yin Changge also had things Yin Changge had to do. Love and hate, they were nothing more than clouds and smoke.

……..

The evaluation came as scheduled.

This day was a grand occasion for the entire academy. The originally calm academy suddenly became lively, and many people in Ethereal City came to Myriad Dao Academy to watch the fun.

City Lord Qin was also invited to the main seats.

After all, the people taking part in the examination were Myriad Dao Academy’s hope for the future, and many of them would be the future leaders of the Qianyuan Dynasty’s imperial court. These discerning eyes, which had seen many almighty disciples, would definitely come to distinguish the good prospects among the disciples.

In order to make the occasion look better, and make everyone passionate, therefore the martial arts assessment was scheduled to happen first. The competition happened in accordance with the drawing lots order, and Yan Tianhen was still considered near the front, so his turn was today in the afternoon.

Most of the disciples who took part in the competition wore the newest robes and held magic treasures that they had touched many times. Their faces and expression were serious and solemn, as if they were going to the battleground instead of the practice field, and went to the high platform with dignity.

The Dao Division’s competition was exciting and made people’s blood race. After all, it was a battle with real weapons. If you were not careful, then there would be blood, and you could see all kinds of different styles, which made people feel dazzled and overwhelmed.

Lin Xuanzhi sat in a main seat, and Sword Saint Tianshu next to him said, “I still remember your assessment back then.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I originally drew Yan Huanyu. However, after the assessment with him, you said I bullied him.”
