Several days later, at Bai Lu Academy.
Yun Zhiqiu looked at the figure before him, his heart restless, yet he still stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Mr. Lu."
This Mr. Lu was the very elder who had led the academy's disciples in battle against the demons on that fateful day.
His expression was sharp as he stared at Yun Zhiqiu. Surrounding Bai Lu Academy disciples looked toward them, wondering what was happening.
Why was Mr. Lu blocking Yun Zhiqiu's path?
Moreover, judging by Mr. Lu's gaze, there seemed to be a trace of anger.
"Yun Zhiqiu, do you realize your crime?" the elder asked.
*"What does the teacher mean by this? I don't understand,"* Yun Zhiqiu bowed his head and acted ignorant. But in truth, he had already guessed the matter and couldn't help feeling uneasy deep down.
*He feared that he would be expelled from Bai Lu Academy, gaining an irreparably bad reputation, perhaps even leading to utter disgrace and universal condemnation.*
