73: Apology in person
"Really? Director Niu, I feel like what you're saying is different from the Sister Su I met?" Ye Liuyun looked at Director Niu in confusion.
This old guy wasn't pulling his leg, was he?
"I'd say what you saw is different from what I saw. Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about something serious.
You brat, you need to rein it in recently, do you understand? News about you has already spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
It's good to be strong and confident, but you're too arrogant. Now everyone outside is saying you're the strongest Freshman in history..."
Director Niu spoke about the brewing public opinion outside.
Ye Liuyun's face was expressionless.
He didn't release this himself.
"Did you hear me, you brat? This is 'praise to kill'. Once public opinion spreads, you'll be put on a hot seat."
Director Niu said earnestly.
He genuinely liked Ye Liuyun.
"Got it, Director Niu. Thank you, Director. But I actually think what they're saying is true.
I'm indeed incredibly strong!" Ye Liuyun smoothed his hair.
Director Niu shook his head and sighed.
It was useless; he had wasted his breath.
Upon returning to his room, he saw Director Wu pacing at the entrance of the villa, with Wu Xunxing following her.
Ye Liuyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Director Wu, you are..."
"I have something to discuss with you. Shall we go inside?" Director Wu pointed to the room.
"Sure, no problem." Ye Liuyun walked over and opened the door.
He was truly a bit clueless.
What were these two here for?
"Now, you can tell me what's going on, right?"
After entering the room, Ye Liuyun looked at Director Wu and spoke.
"We are here today to apologize to you. Our previous actions were our fault, and we are sorry." Director Wu bowed slightly, and Wu Xunxing directly bent at a ninety-degree angle.
"I'm sorry, Ye Liuyun. It was my problem at the time."
There was no hint of defiance in Wu Xunxing's voice.
He wouldn't dare to have any.
After witnessing the outcome of Ye Liuyun's battle with Qiu Xiong, any normal person would be able to understand the situation.
At this point, ending the matter was the best outcome.
As time went on, the seriousness of this matter was escalating linearly.
In the end, it might reach an irreversible stage.
So, Director Wu called her elder brother.
After an internal Family discussion, they decided to reconcile with Ye Liuyun.
Of course, their Wu Family was not a simple Family. They could admit their mistakes and concede defeat, but it would only be to the extent of everyone not interacting with each other.
They had no intention of trying to curry favor with Ye Liuyun.
"Inside this is a bottle of fourth-tier Vicious Beast Cultivation resources. This is our Wu Family's apology to you. We hope this matter can end here. From today onwards, no one from our Wu Family will have any further thoughts about you."
Director Wu finished speaking and handed over a vial of medicine.
As soon as she extended her hand, Ye Liuyun took it.
"You should have said so earlier! If you had brought this out earlier, it wouldn't have become so tense. How about giving me a few more? I'll apologize publicly to you then?"
Director Wu: "..."
Wu Xunxing: "..."
...The aunt and nephew left Ye Liuyun's room.
The Wu Family's matter was over.
"Aunt, Ye Liuyun is not quite what I imagined..." Wu Xunxing rubbed his head, still a bit slow to react.
"How is he different?"
"I feel like he... he's a bit shameless!"
"This is not something to be ashamed of, Xunxing. Remember, in this world, face is the least important thing. Many people don't understand this principle until they die, but Ye Liuyun, not yet twenty, already sees the ways of the world so clearly.
This person is far more terrifying than we imagined. I'll call your uncle later and tell him to keep an eye on Wu Xunyuan. If he acts irrationally and offends him to death, we..."
Director Wu didn't continue.
Shamelessness, at certain times, is not a derogatory term.
Shamelessness also means having no bottom line. From the moment Ye Liuyun entered school, it was evident that this person was extremely self-centered, never caring about others' evaluations or what others thought of him.
He only cared about profit; what benefited him was good, and what didn't benefit him had nothing to do with him.
If such a person truly holds a grudge against you, the consequences are truly unimaginable.
It's easier to be a thief for a thousand days than to guard against one for a thousand days.
Wu Xunxing nodded, half-understanding.
Anyway, what he understood was that if he didn't provoke him, it would be over.
If he couldn't win, he could at least run away.
"Alright, go back to your dorm. This matter is over. Don't talk about it when you go back. Whether others curse Ye Liuyun or whatever, don't get involved."
"Understood, Aunt."
...Su Family.
Su Qingwan, who had just gotten off work, lay on the sofa. She had been researching Vicious Beasts all day today.
The front lines were about to make a big move, and the work of their research institute had also increased accordingly.
The progress of research on some large-scale destructive Vicious Beasts was almost being urged every now and then.
After a week of busyness, she could finally go home and change her clothes.
Her father followed her home shortly after.
Su Zhengqing came back and sat on the sofa, glancing at his daughter.
"Your Uncle Wu called me. The matter between Wu Xunyuan and you is over. From now on, you two can decide for yourselves who or what you like."
"Really?" Su Qingwan looked up, a suspicious look flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"Could I possibly lie to you? It's all that Ye Liuyun, alas..."
"Ye Liuyun? What does he have to do with it?" Su Qingwan became even more curious.
Su Zhengqing explained the whole story, including what happened at National Martial Arts University.
Su Qingwan was a bit stunned.
She hadn't expected that the problem she couldn't solve was, by a strange twist of fate, resolved by Ye Liuyun.
This... "That kid is not bad. Although he's a bit young, his potential is extraordinary, so he might be suitable."
"Dad, you're overthinking. Ever since that research, Ye Liuyun hasn't contacted me at all..."
Su Qingwan rolled her eyes.
Her father was quite prone to overthinking.
"He hasn't contacted you?"
"No."
Su Qingwan shook her head, "Alright, Dad, this is a good thing. I don't have any plans to date anyway, so let's leave it at that.
It's already a good thing that Wu Xunyuan isn't bothering me. He's not a good person; he's done a lot of dirty deeds in his local area."
After speaking,
Su Qingwan got up and went upstairs.
She returned to her room, took off her clothes, and entered the bathroom.
When she had the chance, she would have to find Ye Liuyun. No matter what, he had helped her a great deal.
But this kid, too, asked for her contact information back then, and then there was no news.
Was her contact information really that hard to get?
...Ye Liuyun went out to eat and then stayed in the training hall. The battle with Qiu Xiong had greatly benefited him.
He was forced into an Armed State.
It was a pity that the opponent's stamina was too poor.
If only it had been stronger.
Next week was the Freshman Competition. After the Freshman Competition, he could take on missions at the school according to his abilities.
Without Qi points, he really felt insecure!
