410: Xiao Ming's mentality collapsed

Hearing this, Wang Beiwang nodded in satisfaction: "Good that you know. Otherwise, I'd have to ask Bai Qingfeng what exactly he taught his Disciple!"

Upon hearing his Revered Master's name, a hint of dissatisfaction flickered in Xiao Ming's eyes.

But that emotion was fleeting.

At this moment, Wang Beiwang continued: "This is Lin Ye, the Divine Child of Flying Feather Holy Sect. He's here to visit our Academy today. I thought you young people would get along better, so I brought him over."

"Divine Child?!"

The moment the words "Divine Child" were uttered, all the Elders and Disciples of the Academy present widened their eyes.

They had only seen this title in ancient texts before; there was no such title as "Divine Child" in this era. The highest status was that of a Saint.

And it was from a top Dao lineage like the Flying Feather Holy Sect.

It was simply unimaginable.

Gaze after gaze fixed on Lin Ye, filled with curiosity, jealousy, disdain...

Xiao Ming was also startled by the title of Divine Child, but he quickly recovered and smiled at Lin Ye: "So it's Lin Ye, the Divine Child of Flying Feather Holy Sect. I am Xiao Ming, a Sequence Disciple of Xuanyang Academy."

"Mm..."

Lin Ye nodded, showing no intention of getting close to Xiao Ming.

Tang Xueqin was indifferent to Xiao Ming, now Lin Ye was even more indifferent to him, added to Wang Beiwang's insult, and Xiao Xiaoxiao's angry scolding.

Numerous factors combined, Xiao Ming was on the verge of exploding. If he hadn't suppressed his rage, he would have directly attacked.

"Lin... Lin Ye..."

Tang Xueqin slowly walked up to Lin Ye, her bright, beautiful eyes holding a mix of apprehension, fear, and an inexplicable emotion.

"How did you come here?"

Lin Ye naturally knew what Tang Xueqin was asking, because he was from the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains before, and suddenly coming to the Great Thousand Domains inevitably caused some surprise.

But Lin Ye merely replied indifferently: "If you can come, why can't I?"

Tang Xueqin bit her lower lip tightly, her expression showing a hint of grievance: "You... you can naturally come."

Seeing this, Xiao Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light, his anger clearly intensifying, but on the surface, he still spoke gently: "Brother Lin, do you and Xueqin... Junior Sister Tang know each other?"

He originally intended to say Junior Sister Xueqin, but before he could finish, Tang Xueqin glared at him angrily.

So Xiao Ming immediately changed his tone.

Hearing Xiao Ming's question, Lin Ye again replied indifferently: "Mm..."

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Xiao Ming, who was not a kind person to begin with. Lin Ye's repeated indifferent responses made the veins on Xiao Ming's forehead bulge.

"Brother Lin, since you and Junior Sister Tang are old acquaintances, why are you speaking so impolitely?"

"Hm?"

Lin Ye spoke with a strange expression: "Are you telling me what to do? Then what are you?"

Wang Beiwang not only showed no intention of stopping the scene before him, but even thought inwardly, wishing for the two to escalate the matter further.

After all, Xiao Ming belonged to the Academy Lord's faction, and Lin Ye was someone their Xuanyang Academy was determined to win over. No matter which side had a problem, it would be beneficial and harmless to Wang Beawang.

"How dare you!!!"

"Presumptuous! Who told you to speak to Senior Brother Xiao like that?!"

"Even if you are the Divine Child of Flying Feather Holy Sect, so what? This is our Xuanyang Academy!"

"That's right! Get out!!!"

Lin Ye's merciless words clearly incited public anger. The Academy Disciples behind Xiao Ming all roared at Lin Ye, clenching their fists as if to strike.

Seeing the agitated crowd, a bitter smile appeared on Tang Xueqin's pretty face.

That's right, Lin Ye had never changed. Just like before, he had casually shattered her Qi Sea and killed the Tang Family's Consecrated on the spot.

He was still like this...

At this moment, Xiao Ming's eyes held a hint of triumph: "Brother Lin, how about you apologize to Junior Sister Tang? As Cultivators, we naturally don't need to care about face; after all, strength is what truly matters. Moreover, weren't you the one who offended Junior Sister Tang first?"

Sigh...

Lin Ye sighed and said helplessly: "Indeed, those named Ming are all no good, you are, Lin Ming is too... (Except for handsome, beautiful, and talented readers!)"

"Brother Lin..."

Xiao Ming's face darkened: "I'm speaking kindly to you, and you and Junior Sister Tang are old acquaintances. Asking you to apologize to her shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Xiao Ming!"

Before Lin Ye could answer, Tang Xueqin walked in front of Lin Ye and said coldly to Xiao Ming: "I don't need him to apologize to me, and I'm not that familiar with you. I hope you won't interfere in our affairs anymore."

"Hm?!"

Xiao Ming's pupils widened. At this moment, his composure completely shattered!

The most hurtful part was that he had always been helping Tang Xueqin against Lin Ye, yet Tang Xueqin was now standing on Lin Ye's side.

"Junior Sister Tang! Are you crazy? I'm speaking up for you!"

Hearing this, Tang Xueqin's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "I don't need you to speak for me. This is between the two of us."

"Hehe... Hahahahaha!"

Xiao Ming seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown, bursting into laughter: "Good, good, good, it's your business. By the way, Divine Child Lin, since you've come to our Lun Dao Hall, and we are both of the younger generation, how about we spar a bit?!"

"No!"

Tang Xueqin said coldly: "Lin Ye and his group are guests, just here to visit the Academy. Why would there be any need for sparring or debating Dao?"

"Tang Xueqin!"

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth, staring at Tang Xueqin, his hands tightly clenched into fists.

But even with Xiao Ming's fury, Tang Xueqin met his gaze coldly, showing no intention of backing down.

"Enough!"

Lin Ye stepped forward and pushed Tang Xueqin aside: "My affairs don't need you to decide for me."

Tang Xueqin, pushed aside, looked at Lin Ye in disbelief.

And Xiao Ming grew even angrier: "Divine Child Lin, since you don't need Junior Sister Tang to protect you, then let's go to the arena! Don't worry, it's just a friendly spar."

Hearing this, Lin Ye ignored Xiao Ming and instead turned to look at Wang Beiwang.

"If I beat this thing to death in the arena? Will your Academy blame me?"

...

Wang Beiwang was stunned. He knew that Lin Ye was absolutely not joking, especially since a Sequence Disciple had died by his hand not long ago.

Killing another Xiao Ming, he would absolutely dare to do it!

But while Lin Ye dared to act, Wang Beiwang dared not let him act!

Even if Xiao Ming belonged to his opposing faction, he was still a Disciple of the Academy. With so many people watching, how could he possibly agree?
