Now, even newly entered Disciples dare to act wildly. In a few days, when the Prodigies and Geniuses from the top factions arrive, if they act wildly at Qingyun Academy, even if Old Ancestor Qingyun steps in, he likely won’t be able to quell it.

But if Xiao Fan is here, the situation will be different.

Even if Xiao Fan just shows his face, those top Prodigies will likely be so scared they won't even dare to breathe.

In the last few days, Xiao Fan had Huang Wudi investigate the newly entered Disciples under the identity of Huang Wudi, to see if any of them had ulterior motives toward Qingyun Academy.

If there are any, he should just tell Old Ancestor Qingyun to get rid of them early.

Three days later…

One after another, the Prodigies from the top factions arrived at Qingyun Academy.

After arriving at Qingyun Academy, these youths from various factions were all arrogant, and their expressions were not very pleasant.

You must know, coming to Qingyun Academy this time was not free; they had to pay ancient spirit stones—ten thousand ancient spirit stones per person, per year.

If they gained nothing at Qingyun Academy, they would be punished upon returning to their respective factions.

Qingyun Academy's exorbitant demands were also one of the reasons for their anger.

For these various Geniuses and Prodigies from the major factions, Qingyun Academy specially arranged excellent accommodations.

They were free to borrow books from Qingyun Academy's Scripture Pavilion.

These Geniuses and Prodigies didn't stop for a moment; as soon as they arrived at Qingyun Academy, some didn't even go to check their Immortal Caves, heading straight for the Scripture Pavilion instead.

The Scripture Pavilion of Qingyun Academy was precisely one of the reasons they had come to Qingyun Academy.

If they could truly discover the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates, it would be a Heaven-Defying opportunity to change their fate.

It was just a pity; where would Qingyun Academy have any Heaven-Defying Cultivation Techniques now?!

A few days later, the Prodigies from all sides who had come to Qingyun Academy were all frowning, having not obtained what they wanted.

"Damn it! Is Qingyun Academy doing this on purpose? Could it be that they have hidden the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates?!"

"Right! It must be like that! The Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates! Qingyun Academy wouldn't put it in the Scripture Pavilion! We were careless!"

"Damn it! Isn't this just scamming us? Ten thousand ancient spirit stones!"

"Let's go find Old Ancestor Qingyun to demand justice!"

"…"

A large group of top Prodigies headed aggressively toward the main hall of Qingyun Academy, and the guarding Disciples couldn't stop them at all.

Among these Prodigies, there were even a few at the Emperor Realm; in a one-on-one fight, even Old Ancestor Qingyun would not be a match for them.

Upon reaching the main hall, Old Ancestor Qingyun's expression was indifferent as he scanned the crowd: "What have you come here for?"

"What have we come for?" Mo Xiao stepped out from the crowd and said in a low voice: "Old Ancestor Qingyun! Let's be frank. We came to Qingyun Academy to learn, but in truth, we wanted to learn the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates. However, your academy's Scripture Pavilion does not have the Cultivation Technique we want! Therefore, we now suspect that it is your Qingyun Academy that has hidden the Cultivation Technique."

"Hidden it?" Old Ancestor Qingyun glanced at Mo Xiao and shook his head: "No."

"No? Hehehe… Do you think we believe that?" Mo Xiao sneered.

The group of Prodigies from the various factions followed Mo Xiao, shouting that they didn't believe him.

"What do you want, then?" Old Ancestor Qingyun picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

"What do we want? Hehehe… There are two paths! First, let us observe the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates! Second… return the ancient spirit stones we paid! Give them back to us!" Mo Xiao said with a sneer.

"That's right! Either let us see the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates! Or return our ancient spirit stones!"

"Exactly! Ten thousand ancient spirit stones per year! You are truly ruthless!"

"We came to your Qingyun Academy! We gained nothing at all! Qingyun Academy must give us an explanation!"

"We traveled mountains and rivers to get here! And yet, where is the sincerity of your Qingyun Academy?!"

"…"

"Sincerity? Traveled mountains and rivers? Truly ruthless? Hahaha… What a joke." Old Ancestor Qingyun laughed loudly, smashed the wooden table beside him with one palm, and said coldly: "It was you who begged our Qingyun Academy, saying you wanted to come to our Qingyun Academy to learn! Now, you're unhappy? When you came, you didn't say you were coming to find the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Fan Cultivates!"
