Chapter 1171 1182: First Elder

Upon hearing Lai Yisheng's words, Elder Si Qin turned around, glanced coldly at Lai Yisheng, and said with a hint of chill in his voice, "Are you speaking to me?"

Lai Yisheng was startled and broke into a sweat on his forehead. He quickly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Elder Si Qin. I spoke without thinking because my beloved son was seriously injured, and I was in deep sorrow. But I believe that Mozi Academy is a place of reason, and you, Elder Si Qin, will surely seek justice for me."

Lai Yisheng's words put him on the moral high ground.

Emotionally, his beloved son was seriously injured, and logically, Mozi Academy is a place of reason.

Therefore, these words left Elder Si Qin unable to refute.

If Elder Si Qin had an ordinary relationship with Wang Yan, upon hearing Lai Yisheng's words, they would immediately side with Lai Yisheng.

However, at this moment, after hearing this, Elder Si Qin gave Wang Yan a meaningful look and then asked Lai Yisheng, "Why did he injure your son?"

Lai Yisheng hesitated for a moment and said, "There was a misunderstanding; my son took a liking to that girl, not knowing she was his wife."

Lai Yisheng spoke very blandly, not mentioning Lai Daodi's bullying at all.

Beiming Heng knew that this was a critical moment. If Elder Si Qin really sided with Lai Yisheng, then Wang Yan would be in trouble.

So, Beiming Heng hurriedly said, "That's not the truth. At that time, Lai Daodi led the Lai Brothers, and we only had five people, plus four Demon Emperors. Wang Yan had not yet arrived..."

Beiming Heng's words were meant for Elder Si Qin.

So, as he spoke, he kept looking at Elder Si Qin.

However, Beiming Heng's heart sank as he saw Elder Si Qin wasn't listening to him at all; she had already turned to look at Wang Yan, asking, "Did you injure him?"

Seeing Elder Si Qin ignoring Beiming Heng, Lai Yisheng relaxed, thinking that Elder Si Qin must be on his side.

But in his happiness, Lai Yisheng didn't hear the tone in Elder Si Qin's words. Elder Si Qin called Wang Yan by "you," indicating Wang Yan was considered one of her own, while Lai Daodi was referred to as "them."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing Wang Yan admit it, Lai Yisheng seized the opportunity and said, "Elder Si Qin, please see, he admitted it himself. You should hand him over to me, and I will be eternally grateful for your great favor."

However, Elder Si Qin ignored Lai Yisheng and continued to speak to Wang Yan, "Strangely, your temper has gotten so much better; why didn't you kill him?"

Upon hearing Elder Si Qin's words, everyone was shocked. Just now, Elder Si Qin seemed to favor Lai Yisheng; how could she say something so biased?

They didn't realize that what she said was entirely true.

In Elder Si Qin's view, Lai Yisheng's son dared to flirt with Wang Yan's woman, completely courting death.

It was surprising that Wang Yan, given his usual nature, didn't kill him.

Wang Yan chuckled silly and said, "No point killing anyone for nothing. I just used sixty-four Array Flags to nail him to the rocks. The Array naturally unties in sixty-four days. But if it's forcibly undone midway, then cultivation will be lost, and impotency for life."

At this, tens of thousands around felt a chill down their spines.

Although he didn't kill anyone, this was even more terrifying than killing.

Lai Yisheng finally understood why, after he undid the Array, Lai Daodi cried out in endless pain. That was the reason.

For a moment, Lai Yisheng was furious beyond measure. Lai Daodi was his only son and hadn't even married yet, and Wang Yan cut off the Lai family's lineage.

If Elder Si Qin wasn't standing there, Lai Yisheng might have rushed up and torn Wang Yan apart.

Initially, Elder Si Qin hadn't understood what "impotency" implied. After a while, she realized, blushed, and scolded, "Nonsense!"

After a while, the blush on Elder Si Qin's face faded, and she asked again, "How is this any different from murder?"

Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Of course, it's different. In these sixty-four days, I want him to slowly reflect and remember for a lifetime who can be provoked and who cannot."

At this, Lai Yisheng, who was just angry, couldn't help but shiver.

Although he was a Half-Venerable Powerhouse and shouldn't be afraid of Wang Yan, Wang Yan's words made him feel an indescribable chill.

Elder Si Qin glanced at Lai Yisheng and said, "Let this matter rest."

After speaking, Elder Si Qin addressed Wang Yan again, "Come with me."

Hearing that Elder Si Qin was simply going to let Lai Yisheng give up, Lai Yisheng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Lai Yisheng, being from Mozi Academy, knew the ins and outs of the academy. He knew that Elder Si Qin ranked last among the Eight Great Elders, having less weight compared to the other seven elders.

Compared especially with his patron, Zhao Liangdong, she was far inferior.

Therefore, with Elder Si Qin allowing him to let it slide, he immediately resented Elder Si Qin.

At once, Lai Yisheng shouted, "Elder Si Qin, the enmity of my injured son cannot be let go. I need justice. If Elder Si Qin deliberately favors Wang Yan, I'd rather appeal to other elders, especially Elder Zhao Liangdong who is good friends with me, will surely support me."

Elder Si Qin didn't turn back, only said lightly, "At will."

After speaking, Elder Si Qin took Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, and others, and left the courtyard, heading towards Mozi Academy.

Beiming Heng, who had been sweating coldly for some time, now saw that Elder Si Qin was biased towards Wang Yan, and thanked Elder Si Qin mentally hundreds of times.

At once, he hurriedly followed Elder Si Qin out.

Although Lai Yisheng wanted to attack Wang Yan, in front of Elder Si Qin, he didn't have the courage, so he stood there gnashing his teeth.

The Lai Brothers came over and quickly asked, "Patriarch, what do we do?"

Lai Yisheng cast his eyes around at the surrounding crowd and said, "I, Lai Yisheng, have vowed that if I don't kill Wang Yan today, I won't bear the Lai name. We'll wait till we get to Mozi Academy. I will have a way."

After that, Lai Yisheng led the Lai Brothers and others, following behind Wang Yan and the others.

The tens of thousands in the courtyard saw this and followed, leaving the courtyard and entering Mozi Academy.

Exiting the courtyard, one could see one main peak and eight side peaks, these nine towering into the sky, immensely majestic.

Lai Yisheng deliberately pointed at the eight peaks in front and said to the Lai Brothers, "Look, these eight peaks represent the Eight Great Elders. The higher the peak, the higher the elder's status. Look, this is Zhao Peak, it should be the second peak."

As he spoke, Lai Yisheng pointed to the Zhao Peak he remembered.

But then, Lai Yisheng was stunned, happily saying, "Zhao Peak is now the highest peak. Could it be that Elder Zhao Liangdong has become the First Elder?"
