Chapter 1506: Chapter 1505: Such Arrogance

Ding Chunqiu felt his eyelid twitching.

From Zhao Mengxue’s demeanor, he sensed an inexplicable resentment.

Zhao Mengxue was resenting him!

A once excellent student, how could she have become like this?

Ding Chunqiu was heartbroken; Zhao Mengxue had become completely unrecognizable, her personality becoming aloof, speaking in a sarcastic manner.

Ding Chunqiu also raised his hand slightly.

The wine glass on the table flew into his palm with a swoosh.

No wine spilled despite the speed, illustrating his profound cultivation.

Zhao Mengxue was slightly surprised. Though they were of the same level, she admitted that Ding Chunqiu was superior in battle experience and skill usage.

For experts, a single detail could determine victory or defeat.

No need to continue.

Zhao Mengxue’s voice turned cold and icy, saying, "All Zhao clan members, listen to me..."

The whole scene was silent, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

"Today is the Zhao Family’s grand day of hosting guests; Teacher Ding is my mentor. Anyone who disrespects Teacher Ding disrespects me..."

Hiss.

The crowd gasped.

Such arrogance.

She spoke as if her status was very high,

In that moment, everyone wondered if Zhao Mengxue had lost her mind?

How dare she speak to Ding Chunqiu like that.

Even without a warning, no one would dare oppose Ding Chunqiu.

Who would dare to provoke him?

But, since the host spoke, everyone listened, nothing to dispute.

But these words made Ding Chunqiu slightly frown and say:

"Zhao Mengxue... since you still acknowledge me as your teacher, I hope you can adjust your attitude properly. While being a Primordial Human Immortal is commendable, don’t forget... in Wanxian City, there are countless Primordial Human Immortals."

"Of course, I know... However, I’ve felt recently that I’m about to make another breakthrough. I may have been a bit carried away, hope Teacher Ding doesn’t mind."

Everyone was shocked.

Zhao Mengxue was already a powerful Primordial Human Immortal, if she breaks through again, wouldn’t that be the Ancestor Realm?

Being a Primordial Human Immortal is indeed not worthy of pride, but the Ancestor Realm is different; in all of Huaxia, no one would dare not show respect.

No wonder Zhao Mengxue had such confidence, no wonder the Zhao family obeyed her commands; an ambitious junior whom even elders had to concede to.

What terrifying talent this is.

Ding Chunqiu was shaken to the core.

Her breakthrough to Primordial Human Immortal was already unbelievable to him.

How could she break through to the Ancestor Realm?

Judging by her demeanor, she wasn’t joking.

Seeing Ding Chunqiu’s change in expression, Zhao Mengxue said, "Teacher Ding, since Emperor Yu is not here, please convey this to him for me: Zhao Mengxue will soon break through to a realm even beyond the Ancestor Realm, and at that time, I will personally express my gratitude for him expelling me from Wanxian University."

"..."

These words, tinged with sarcasm, felt like a declaration of war.

Doesn’t Zhao Mengxue fear that Emperor Yu will kill her before she breaks through?

Where did this confidence come from?

Seeing Ding Chunqiu’s unpleasant expression.

Zhao Mengxue knew she had achieved her goal.

Though unaware of Emperor Yu’s cultivation level, she was sure she couldn’t match him yet. Her words were meant to provoke Fang Yu.

This bizarre emotion, even she couldn’t understand why.

It seemingly validated the feeling of love turning to hate.

Zhao Mengxue once idolized Emperor Yu greatly.

To think Emperor Yu would treat her this way.

She wanted to prove, prove that she was no less than anyone, prove Emperor Yu was wrong, prove... Emperor Yu erred.

"Teacher Ding, please proceed, I’m returning to cultivate."

Without giving Ding Chunqiu a chance to speak, she turned and left.

Leaving Ding Chunqiu slightly embarrassed.

How could Ding Chunqiu stay here...

Watching Zhao Mengxue’s back, he said, "It’s good that you can improve your cultivation, but don’t go down a crooked path... nothing in this world comes without effort. Take care of yourself..."

Having said this,

Ding Chunqiu also turned and left.

Until Ding Chunqiu disappeared.

The hall became lively again.

Of course, people only spoke in hushed tones.

Those present were not fools, neither side could be offended.

...

Zhao Tianzhao spoke rather unfriendly, "If Emperor Yu were here, I might show some reverence, but you, a Primordial Human Immortal principal, of the same class as my granddaughter, dare to threaten my Zhao Family?"

As these words were spoken,

The Zhao clan children held their breath.

The guests present were equally surprised.

Zhao Tianzhao added, "My granddaughter stated that it won’t be long before she breaks through to the Ancestor Realm. Throughout all of Huaxia, there are less than five cultivators at the Ancestor Realm... A battle between those in the Ancestor Realm could destroy the world, does he intend to cause trouble?"

It felt like a showdown.

Like nuclear arms between empires before a major disaster, it’s mainly for deterrence, but when it comes to actual fighting, no one dares use it recklessly.

Just...

Zhao Mengxue breaking through to the Ancestor Realm, this news was too shocking.

Everyone rose to congratulate.

Zhao Tianzhao accepted each one with smiles.

People started expressing their dissatisfaction as if opening a floodgate.

"What Mr. Zhao said is true; Principal Ding is blind to the treasure, how can he blame others? Miss Zhao’s breakthrough to the Ancestor Realm is like a slap on their face. Such a talented student was expelled?"

"This shows that Miss Zhao’s talent is just as the rumors say, she is the foremost genius of Wanxian University!"

"Incredible, without a teacher’s guidance, she could break through to Primordial Human Immortal in such a short time! And without any cultivation resources, my Zhang Family is willing to provide ten Spirit Stones!"

"My Li Family is willing to provide five Spirit Stones!"

"My Su Family’s resources aren’t as abundant as everyone’s, so we’ll provide two Spirit Stones, plus a hundred pounds of Heavenly Treasures, and we hope Mr. Zhao won’t mind!"

The crowd gathered around.

Everyone knew this was like paying respects through gifts.

Initially, it was meant to be casual, now it seemed that not bleeding a little would make it hard to build this connection.

Zhao Tianzhao, unreserved, thanked everyone.

He said loudly, "Thank you all for your support. When my granddaughter breaks through to the Ancestor Realm, she will surely remember everyone’s kindness."

The Zhao Mansion bustled with activity again.

At the same time.

Ding Chunqiu quickly returned to Fang Mansion.

But...

It was empty; the housekeeper said the master had gone out, so Ding Chunqiu had to wait in place.

No idea how long he waited.

Finally, he saw Fang Yu and his brothers returning groggily.

Powerful cultivators, yet looking like street hobos, made Ding Chunqiu speechless.

"Sigh... better to come back tomorrow morning!" Ding Chunqiu vanished on the spot, swiftly leaving Fang Mansion.

Fang Yu and others returned to Fang Mansion.

They collapsed and slept immediately.

Until early the next morning, when they woke up.

The housekeeper outside reminded:

"Master, Principal Ding from Wanxian University requests an audience. He says he has important matters to discuss with you."
