“I will introduce you to two new classmates, Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen. Leng Ruoxue will be your leader from now on,” Elder Qiu said.
“What?”
“She’s Leng Ruoxue? Isn’t she a simpleton?”
“Leng Ruoxue is even more beautiful than Xu Na’er!”
As soon as Elder Qiu finished speaking, all sorts of discussions broke out.
“Elder Qiu, what qualifications does she have to be our leader?” a sweet-looking girl directly questioned with displeasure.
“This is the academy’s decision.”
“How can the academy arbitrarily decide on who the leader is?” Sun Ting said with dissatisfaction. When the academy let Leng Ruohan be the leader, she didn’t dare to object. After all, Leng Ruohan was the strongest person in the academy, and he was well-respected by everyone. But why should a simpleton be their leader?
“Are you doubting the academy’s decision? Do you doubt the vision of our academy?” Elder Qiu said unpleasantly. Before coming, he had guessed that these prodigies would most likely be dissatisfied with Leng Ruoxue suddenly becoming their leader. But he didn’t expect them to make things difficult for her in front of him. Moreover, he didn’t expect the one to make things difficult would be Sun Ting, who usually looked very well-behaved. Besides, the most difficult person and most likely to make things difficult in the Sacred Hall wasn’t here today. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“Elder Qiu, don’t you still have something to do? Don’t worry about us.” Leng Ruoxue gave Elder Qiu an out.
“Uh… Yes, I have something else to do. Then I’ll be heading off first. I’ll leave this place to you guys,” Elder Qiu said tactfully. He knew that Leng Ruoxue was going to teach these arrogant and snobbish prodigies a lesson.?Alas, the principal has a good eye. Leng Ruoxue’s aura is even more terrifying than her brother’s.
“You said I’m not qualified to be your leader? Who is qualified then? You?” Leng Ruoxue said coldly after Elder Qiu left.
“I… Of course not me. Senior Brother Feng, Senior Sister Xu, Senior Sister Chen, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Qiao, and Senior Brother Fu of our Sacred Hall are all more qualified than you,” Sun Ting said the names of several people in a row with a face full of adoration.
“Unfortunately, your leader is now me, not anyone that you mentioned. And you should know the rules of the Sacred Hall!” Leng Ruoxue was really unwilling to stoop to the level of such a small fry, so she brought up the rules of the Sacred Hall. She had been in the academy for several days, and the reason Grandpa Lin didn’t arrange for her to appear in the Sacred Hall first was to let her familiarize herself with the environment of the academy.
“I…” Sun Ting hesitated. One of the rules of the Sacred Hall was to respect your superiors, but she didn’t consider her their leader at all… So she didn’t care about the rules.
“Whether you accept it or not, I am your leader. How dare you question the academy’s decision. Aren’t you offending your superiors?” Leng Ruoxue rebuked coldly. In fact, no one had any objections previously when the academy appointed leaders because they had always been recognized as the number one genius in the academy. But if you weren’t the number one genius who could convince the masses, then some people would feel unbalanced and might even resort to despicable means in secret. In order to prevent such things from happening, the academy had specially set a rule—if you questioned the choice of leader, every student of the Sacred Hall had the right to challenge the leader. If you won the challenge, then you would become the leader of the Sacred Hall. This was also a half-appointed and half-democratic way of doing things to convince everyone.
“If you think that I don’t have the capability to be the leader, you can challenge me openly. If you don’t have the guts to do so, then shut your mouth. Otherwise, I don’t mind expelling you from the Sacred Hall,” Leng Ruoxue warned. She might think highly of Sun Ting if she had challenged her directly, but her pure provocation made her not even qualified to be her opponent.
“How dare you… You are just a simpleton!” Sun Ting said angrily. She didn’t believe that this simpleton would really dare to expel her from the Sacred Hall. Although the Sun family wasn’t comparable to top families like the Feng family and the Xu family, they still had considerable power. So Sun Ting wasn’t afraid of this simpleton’s threat.
“I hereby announce with my position as the leader that Sun Ting has offended her superior and disrespected the leader. From today onward, she will be expelled from the Sacred Hall,” Leng Ruoxue announced loudly. It seemed she had to make an example of her.
As soon as Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, Ye Chen cooperatively threw Sun Ting out the window without any pity for the fairer sex.
Everyone present in the training room widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at the two of them in horror.?Damn, these two people are really courageous.?Too terrifying. This Leng Ruoxue actually dared to offend the Sun family, and that man actually threw Sun Ting out the window…?Fortunately, the Sacred Hall was only two floors. Otherwise, Sun Ting would have fallen to her death.
“Now, tell me, who else wants to leave the Sacred Hall?” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
No one else dared to speak anymore. Leave the Sacred Hall? Would they still be nurtured by their families in the future? The reason they valued the Sacred Hall so much was that they would have the best treatment and would also have an influential position in their families in the future. The Sacred Hall was not only a symbol of strength but also meant a network of future personal connections.
“Since no one has any objections, then cultivate diligently. You must remember that you are not cultivating for me. Don’t make life miserable for your future. That is the most foolish behavior,” Leng Ruoxue warned. Whether they could understand or not, whether they would be instigated by others or not, was something beyond her control.
“Looks like the principal’s efforts were not in vain,” Ye Chen whispered in Xue’er’s ear with a gentle smile. Taking advantage of the absence of the superior students, Xue’er subdued this group of timid students without a firm position. This move was indeed good. Unfortunately, he knew that Xue’er didn’t take those people seriously at all.
“That old man just likes to act smart and let me clean it up all at once to save trouble,” Leng Ruoxue complained.
“Xue’er, what do you intend to do with those fellows?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
