Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Although the students were curious whether Ling Yi would be punished, none of them dared to offend Teacher Yu and follow to see, so they all returned to their tents.

Yu Yang led Ling Yi away from the tent area, and walked for a long time without saying a word before stopping.

Ling Yi stopped as well.

Yu Yang turned to look at Ling Yi: "You..."

Yu Yang wanted to ask Ling Yi, "Does it have to be so ruthless?"

But when he met Ling Yi's cold eyes, all the questions Yu Yang wanted to ask got stuck in his throat, and what he finally said was: "What good does it do you to be so ruthless?"

Ling Yi and Yu Yang locked eyes. Instead of answering, Ling Yi asked, "Does Teacher Yu think I'm wrong?"

"You're not wrong." Yu Yang was very clear about this, but...

“I did nothing wrong, but killing them directly is too ruthless?” Ling Yi said what Yu Yang hadn’t said aloud.

Yu Yang looked at Ling Yi without saying a word.

Ling Yi looked at Yu Yang and smiled: "Teacher Yu, I won't do anything to them unless they provoke me, so you don't need to worry."

"Ling Yi, no one is infallible, and some people don't deserve to die." Yu Yang looked at Ling Yi: "Can you guarantee you'll never make a mistake?"

“Indeed, there’s no guarantee,” Ling Yi said indifferently. “So, if you make a mistake, just bear the consequences.”

"But some of the consequences are too severe."

"So?" Ling Yi looked at Yu Yang: "Teacher Yu, my attitude is very clear. If they don't provoke me, I won't lay a hand on them. If they do, I won't let them get away with it."

"If Teacher Yu thinks this won't work, then please tell me, Teacher Yu, what would be a better way?"

Yu Yang frowned: "Ling Yi, you did nothing wrong, but the world doesn't work like you do. Right is right and wrong is wrong. There will always be people who condemn the right side. I hope you can be more tactful in your actions, which will be better for you as well."

"Teacher Yu is referring to people who talk without understanding the situation," Ling Yi smiled. "Why should I care what they say?"

“If they go too far with their words, I wouldn’t mind killing them all.”

Looking at Ling Yi's expression, Yu Yang knew she wasn't lying, and fell silent.

After a long silence, Yu Yang sighed and said, "I understand. You should go back and rest."

Ling turned and left.

"Wait," Yu Yang called out, his gaze falling on Ling Yi's left hand: "Ling Yi, your hand..."

Ling Yi's body can no longer withstand the force of the bone knife; each time it is pulled out, it injures his arm.

"Just a minor injury," Ling Yi said, and quickly left.

Yu Yang watched Ling Yi's departing figure and sighed deeply.

It's often said that the strong are easily broken, and Ling Yi's sharp and assertive actions are no exception.

...

With the matter of Changsheng Lake resolved, the originally abundant spiritual energy began to return to normal, so there was no longer any need for everyone to stay here to cultivate.

Yu Yang told everyone to pack up and prepare to return to the academy. As for Zhao Wenxu... all the students had an accident, so he left early.

"Where's Ling Yi?" When counting heads, Yu Yang didn't see Ling Yi and asked the student who was assigned to the same tent as Ling Yi, "Have you seen her?"

The student quickly shook his head: "I didn't see it."

Yu Yang looked at her: "You and Ling Yi were in the same tent, how come I didn't see you?"

The student being asked fell silent, but the girl next to her spoke up: "Teacher Yu, Qingqing didn't go back; she's resting here, so she doesn't know Lingyi."

Upon hearing this answer, Yu Yang's gaze fell on the woman named Qingqing. Qingqing lowered her head, avoiding Yu Yang's gaze.

Qingqing was afraid of Lingyi, so she didn't want to go back to the tent she was assigned.

Can we say that Qingqing was wrong?

Nowadays, everyone says that Ling Yi is cold-blooded and ruthless, killing without blinking an eye. Qingqing is just a student, so it's normal for her to be afraid and not want to go back.

The approach of avoiding conflict is not wrong, but isn't it just another form of rejection?

From Qingqing's perspective, she was afraid of Ling Yi and worried that she might accidentally offend him, so she simply decided not to go back. That made sense, and there's no way to argue about who was right or wrong.

This is precisely what Yu Yang is worried about.

"I understand." Yu Yang didn't blame Qingqing, but simply asked the teacher to call Ling Yi.

"Teacher Yu." Just as the others were waiting, Yan Wuxin and Mu Shengyuan arrived.

Yu Yang looked at the two of them: "What brings you here?"

"I've come to see Ling Yi off." Yi Mu Ling Yuan returned, and Mu Sheng Yuan also returned to his previous appearance, smiling as he said, "If I weren't unable to beat your Dean, I would have wanted to snatch Ling Yi away."

“Xiao Yuan, I won’t let you have your way on this matter.” After Mu Shengyuan finished speaking, Yan Wuxin chimed in, “Our academy wants it too.”

"Well then, we'll just have to rely on our own abilities." Mu Shengyuan said, then looked at Dongfang Jibai: "Brother Jibai, you are the Second Prince, why don't you give an order for the Dean to release Ling Yi?"

As dawn broke, he smiled silently.

That little devil is full of schemes. She suddenly pulled this stunt because she saw what just happened and wanted to stand up for Ling Yi.

Do you like Ling Yi that much?

Dongfang Jibai felt a pang of sadness. Despite the long-standing friendship between the two great empires, this little devil had called him "brother" with ulterior motives, never once with genuine sincerity, yet she treated Ling Yi differently.

Sour.

Dongfang Jibai looked at Mu Shengyuan: "The affairs of Chun Kingdom have been resolved. Aren't you going back?"

"Go back," Mu Shengyuan said. "We have to see Ling Yi off. After we see Ling Yi off, we'll leave."

"Hmm," Dongfang Jibai said gently, "Be more careful in your actions in the future."

"Okay, okay." Mu Shengyuan didn't want to listen to his nagging, and having already made his stance clear, he pulled Yan Wuxin toward Ling Yi's tent. But after only a few steps, the teacher who had left rushed over: "Teacher Yu, Ling Yi isn't in the tent!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang's expression changed. Remembering the dean's instructions before they set off, he immediately looked at Mu Shengyuan: "Princess, there are soldiers guarding Changsheng Lake. Has anyone approached us during this time?"

Mu Shengyuan shook his head: "No."

“The guards take turns guarding the area three times a day. Besides you, there are also elders and experts from the Chun Kingdom royal family here. No one gets close.” Mu Shengyuan’s mind worked quickly: “Ling Yi left on his own. It’s impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye. Since there are no outsiders, it can only be that the person who left recently took Ling Yi away.”

"Zhao Wenxu!"

Yu Yang immediately took out the communication stone to contact Zhao Wenxu, but he couldn't get through no matter what he tried. He was so angry that he cursed, "Idiot!"

Seeing Yu Yang so angry, the teacher next to him quickly said, "Teacher Yu, Teacher Zhao is a teacher after all, she shouldn't want to kill Ling Yi, so don't worry too much."

"Worried?" Yu Yang looked at the teacher: "Worried about whom?"

"Um..." the teacher said, "Aren't you worried about Ling Yi?"

"I'm worried about that idiot Zhao Wenxu!" Yu Yang was so angry that he lost all his composure. "He doesn't even use his pig brain to think. He can't even break the barrier that Ling Yi set up. If Ling Yi hadn't volunteered, how could he have taken the person away?"
