Chapter 1381: Listing the Crimes!

In a dead corner of an alley, a figure slowly emerged.

It was a middle-aged man of extraordinary bearing, clearly an expert.

Ye Yuan didn't know him either, but this man had been following him nearby ever since he entered the Wumeng Academy.

The man meant him no harm, so Ye Yuan guessed that he might be someone sent by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to protect him.

Wang Song's face changed drastically at the sight of the middle-aged man.

Teacher... Teacher Chi! How... how are you here?

Wang Song had never imagined that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would dispatch a Return to Void expert to protect Ye Yuan!

Just who was this Ye Yuan?

The middle-aged man came to Ye Yuan's side and introduced himself: "My name is Chi Fang, a teacher at the academy. But I'm surprised you noticed my presence. When did you find out?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "From the very beginning."

Chi Fang had hidden himself well, but how could he escape the perception of Wu Chen?

Chi Fang's expression stiffened. He had thought his concealment was perfect, yet Ye Yuan had discovered him long ago.

Now he finally understood a little why the Pavilion Master had sent him to protect Ye Yuan.

"Alright, leave them to me. You go ahead," Chi Fang said calmly.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you! Please inform the Pavilion Master and ask him to mediate this matter. Say that... Ye owes him a favor."

Chi Fang's gaze sharpened, and he nodded. "Rest assured, I will deliver the message."

The Wumeng Academy was naturally the City Lord's Wumeng Academy, but the City Lord couldn't manage the academy and the royal city alone.

Thus, the City Lord also relied on these great families for many matters.

Among them was the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Although the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was an external force, it was not to be underestimated.

Naturally, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion also had a share in the Wumeng Academy.

"Get out of my way!" Ye Yuan said coldly as he approached Wang Song.

These scum had wasted too much of his time, and he was furious.

Wang Song's expression shifted uncertainly. He had finally seized this opportunity, only to end up like this.

"Hmm? Do I need to take action myself?"

Chi Fang's voice deepened, and the pressure of the Return to Void Divine Realm instantly radiated outward, suffocating everyone.

Jia Chong, in particular, was only at the Dongxuan realm and couldn't withstand such pressure. He fell to his knees with a thud.

At that moment, he was facing Ye Yuan, making it look as if he was kneeling to him.

Though extremely unwilling, Wang Song still stepped aside half a pace.

Ye Yuan had no time to waste on them. He moved and vanished in a flash.

As soon as Ye Yuan left, Chi Fang's realm pressure dissipated without a trace.

Wang Song's face darkened. "Teacher Chi, this... is against the rules. I will report this to Uncle Qin!"

Chi Fang said calmly, "As you wish! But... you should be grateful that I also hold the identity of an academy teacher; otherwise, you would be dead by now!"

Wang Song's expression stiffened, and Chi Fang vanished with a flicker.

The dignity of a Return to Void expert was not to be profaned.

With just that one remark from Wang Song, Chi Fang had ample reason to kill him.

Although Wang Song was practically half a son-in-law of the Qin family, killing someone like him with Chi Fang's status would hardly cause much of a stir.

However, Chi Fang was also a teacher at the academy. If he laid hands on his own student, it would be hard to explain.

Then he would offend not just the Qin family, but the City Lord of Wumeng!

...

Wumeng Square was the largest square in Wumeng Royal City, now packed to the brim.

In the center of the square stood a high platform, on which two figures were very conspicuous.

Ye Yuan pushed through the crowd and finally made it to the front.

A year had passed, and the little fatty seemed to have grown another circle.

But now the little fatty was dressed in rags, looking like a beggar.

Whip marks were clearly visible on his face and body, cutting deep into the flesh!

Yet Xie Jingyi didn't care at all. He declared loudly, "Everyone must be familiar with this wench. She is Miss Qin Peiyu of the Qin family, known as the female demon! I don't need to elaborate on the atrocities she has committed; you've all heard of them, or even experienced them yourselves! Everyone fears her status and dares not do anything to her, but I, Fatty, refuse to believe that. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven!"

"Good!"

Xie Jingyi's words immediately drew a thunderous response.

Qin Nantian had spoiled this daughter to the skies, making her a notorious bully throughout the royal city.

But people usually dared only to be angry, not to speak out.

Now that someone had stepped forward, their pent-up emotions erupted.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Xie Jingyi directly slapped her a few times, drawing another round of cheers.

Qin Peiyu's eyes blazed with fury. "You dead fatty, you... you're dead! I'll repay everything you've done to me a hundredfold!"

Xie Jingyi looked at her with a mischievous grin, said nothing, and slapped her a few more times.

"Say whatever you have to say, all at once!" Xie Jingyi laughed.

This time, Qin Peiyu was completely deflated. She dared not utter any more threats and could only glare at Xie Jingyi.

"Hey, that's more like it!"

Xie Jingyi chuckled lightly, then turned to the square and announced loudly, "Fifty years ago, this wench was eight! On the street, she snatched food from a child surnamed Rong on Wufang Street, got into a conflict, and had the entire Rong family wiped out!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

After speaking, Xie Jingyi swung his hand and delivered several more slaps. Qin Peiyu's pretty face quickly swelled up.

"Forty-seven years ago, this wench rode her horse recklessly on Xiushui Street and trampled a little girl under three years old to death!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

After saying that, he swung his hand and slapped her again!

...

And so, Xie Jingyi listed one by one the crimes Qin Peiyu had committed over the years, showing her disregard for human life.

After each item, he would slap her a few times.

Soon, Qin Peiyu was once again beaten into a pig's head!

At first, everyone cheered and applauded.

But later, their expressions turned to anger!

The crimes this female demon had committed were too numerous to record.

Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked. He had initially thought the girl was just willful and spoiled, but he never expected that such a young girl could be so ruthless!

At the same time, Ye Yuan saw Xie Jingyi in a new light.

This little fatty usually seemed unreliable, but once he took something seriously, he did it so beautifully and meticulously!

Over the past year, the little fatty had dug up everything about Qin Peiyu.

Ye Yuan had thought the little fatty was acting on impulse, but he never expected his preparations to be so thorough.

Today's stunt seemed reckless, but it was actually crude with finesse!

He made such a big commotion, drawing the attention of the entire city, and then listed Qin Peiyu's crimes one by one for everyone to hear. This not only made the Qin family cautious and hesitant to act rashly but also put him on the moral high ground!

Even if the Qin family wanted to make a move, they wouldn't dare to criticize the little fatty in front of so many people!
