Chapter 623: The Truth Revealed

Chapter 623: The Truth Revealed

Qin Feng’s words echoed with the rhetoric of the dandy Young master.

The mocking tone in it was obvious.

The faces of the people from the National Academy turned sour, especially Young Master Jiang, who was filled with resentment.

Upon hearing this, the students of the Peaceful Academy felt a sense of excitement, but also a sense of pride!

All their previous grievances and frustrations were swept away the moment Teacher Qin stood up for them.

They knew that this slap was given by Teacher Qin for them.

At first, the people from the National Academy wanted to speak harsh words for the slapped Young Master Jiang, but the moment they met Qin Feng’s gaze, all their words were swallowed back into their stomachs.

The phrase ‘bully the weak and fear the strong’ found its most vivid illustration in them.

At that moment, a calm voice sounded from behind the National Academy: “Young Master Qin, as the Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet appointed by Emperor Ming, you do indeed have great prestige.”

“You resorted to violence against the son of the Minister of Personnel. Do you still uphold the law of the Great Qian in your eyes?!”

“Or is it that you have been tainted by too much worldly air within the Peaceful Academy and have become so vulgar and uncouth?”

“Master of Siye!” The people from the National Academy turned around, their faces filled with excitement.

The one speaking was none other than Mo Siye, their advocate!

Mo Siye raised his hand to silence them, then sneered, “We are all men of letters. If conflicts are resolved through physical confrontation, what distinguishes us from those rough warriors and wild beasts?”

As soon as the words fell, two pairs of eyes turned towards him, and Mo Siye suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Looking at the source of the gaze, he saw two figures standing out from the crowd, coldly staring at him, causing him to lose half of his confidence in an instant.

‘This boy even brought his two wives with him...’

Mo Siye’s expression changed slightly, and even though he had some mocking words prepared, he swallowed them.

There was no need to mention the Dragon Clan. Liu Jianli’s reputation within the Great Qian was unparalleled, not to mention her family the Duke Liu. It wouldn’t be wise to offend her so easily.

Mo Siye’s expression immediately darkened as he looked at the other person. Could it be that the people from the Star Seizing Tower were on the side of the Peaceful Academy?

“This is absurd! You’re clearly asking for the moon! I should find someone from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion and ask if this item is really worth ten thousand taels of silver!”

“You may have misunderstood what I said,” the Crown Prince said coldly, giving him another look. “The Purple Mist Lake White Cup was valued at ten thousand taels of silver back then, and of course its price has risen over the years. But considering our friendship with the National Academy, if you compensate me with fifteen thousand taels of silver, this matter can be settled. Of course, if you’re still in doubt, feel free to bring someone from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to inquire.”

With that, Anya sighed and stepped out of the crowd, pulling out a sign representing the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. Then she said, “I am indeed from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. What this young master said is correct, the Purple Mist Lake White Cup does indeed have this prize.”

Qin Feng looked puzzled upon seeing this. This sibling duo was playing a game of mixed doubles, intending to fleece this young master from the National Academy to the bone.

But deep down, he was grateful, knowing that these two were also looking out for the students of the Peaceful Academy.

This unexpected turn of events took everyone by surprise.

When Young Master Jiang heard these whispers, he was furious and shouted, “If I don’t compensate you, what will you do?”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince’s expression completely darkened. Although his cultivation was not high, the aura of someone in power was unmistakable, causing Young Master Jiang to break out in a cold sweat.

“The compensation is just to give the National Academy some face and offer you a way out. Do you really think your tricks can fool everyone? Do you know that there’s a kind of immortal technique called Mirror Flower, Water Moon? It can show past events, and I happen to know the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.”

At the mention of his name, Young Master Jiang’s face turned pale. He knew better than anyone who had shattered the Jade Butterfly.

Just as he felt uneasy, time seemed to freeze, even the flames in the coloured lanterns stopped flickering.

This strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment, but everyone could sense it.

All eyes turned to Qin Feng, their expressions filled with astonishment. He looked like an exiled immortal, reminiscent of the time he fought the asura.

What was he planning to do... the elegant young man in silk robes turned pale with fear.

Qin Feng spoke lightly, “Why bother the National Teacher with a mere Mirror Flower, Water Moon Immortal Technique?”

As he spoke, colourful light flowed with a wave of his hand, causing ripples in the void like a mirror reflecting a scene.

In the reflection, everyone saw Young Master Jiang, dressed in luxurious robes, glaring at the people from the Peaceful Academy with resentment before dropping the jade butterfly from his hand.

The truth was revealed, clear as day!
