Chapter 45: The Academy Establishes Its Authority (Middle)

  For a moment, the gaze of those with noble bearing flashed with envy as they stared over, most of the students in the Imperial Academy were from aristocratic families, and there were even some descendants of large clans. Seeing that a commoner freshman like Shangguan Yue'er had produced such an extraordinary beauty, it would be strange if they didn't have any designs on her. To them, what was there to worry about with commoners? Even if they were to forcefully take her away, no one would dare say anything. As for Zhou Weiqing standing beside Shangguan Yue'er, he was directly ignored by them.

  Zhou Weiqing naturally felt a sense of pride as he saw the sunlight shining on Xue'er's face, and he secretly gloated to himself, "You can see her, but you can't have her, it's killing you."

  Zhou Weiqing was very clear that from the moment he and Shangguan Xue'er entered the academy, it was destined that he would have to stir up trouble. With Shangguan Xue'er by his side, even if he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, there would naturally be people who would come to provoke him. He had never said these things to Shangguan Xue'er, but in his heart, he had long been prepared. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to go to the Heavenly Jewel Palace and complete the imprinting of most of his skills. The conflict between commoners and nobles, combined with Shangguan Xue'er's stunning beauty, made it certain that their lives would not be peaceful. Zhou Weiqing's thoughts were simple: whoever dares to touch my wife, I'll beat them up, and once they're all dealt with, everything will be calm again.

  Of course, he is not reckless at all. Firstly, he has great confidence in his own strength, and it's really not easy to find someone among the students who can beat him. Especially after defeating Ming Hua, who had a powerful physique and a condensed suit, yesterday, he gained even more confidence. Zhou Weiqing absolutely doesn't believe that there are many people as strong as Ming Hua among the students. Moreover, his true trump card is something that Ming Hua hasn't seen yet. He is an archer, not a warrior.

  Secondly, after all, this is an academy. As long as one is still a student of this academy with the royal name tag, no noble would dare to mobilize their family's power in the academy against oneself. This is the capital of the Imperial Empire, under the emperor's feet, so he believes that what he needs to face are just these students in the academy.

  Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er found the area with the first-year commoner freshmen's badges in the front row, walked over, and sat down. Among the commoner freshmen, female students were very rare; yesterday, when cleaning up their dormitory, Zhou Weiqing had heard Shangguan Xue'er say that there were only six female students in total. The number of male students was twenty-three, so the total number of first-year commoner freshmen was twenty-nine people, which naturally formed a single class. This opening ceremony also directly completed the class division.

  "Zhou Weiqing." Just as they had sat down, Zhou Weiqing heard someone call his name. Turning his head to look, he saw a group of bald men, led by the same Zang Lang who had fought him yesterday. He looked perfectly normal, just like he hadn't been injured at all yesterday. "Something's up?" Zhou Weiqing sat still, only raising an eyebrow slightly. Zang Lang said in a low voice, "After the opening ceremony ends, there are no classes this morning. I want to have a talk with you."

  Zang Lang suddenly took the initiative to find Zhou Weiqing, which immediately caught the attention of the surrounding civilian students. In the academy, civilian students only accounted for one-tenth of the total number, and there were less than two hundred people in total, including both men and women. Zang Lang was obviously one of the most famous among these civilian students. Moreover, having heard about what happened yesterday, his initiative to find Zhou Weiqing naturally drew attention. "Good." Zhou Weiqing replied briefly, then turned back to his seat without giving Zang Lang another glance. Zang Lang also didn't say anything else and left with a few of his younger brothers. "Damn, this new student is really something, he actually dared to ignore Zang Lang!"

  "Do you know what? I heard that yesterday, Qian Lang and a civilian named Xin Sheng had a fight, and he lost, and was even injured. It's probably that kid. Don't look down on him, he's very fierce, and it's said that he's also a three-star Tianzhu master, with strength surpassing Qian Lang's." "Speak softly. Anyway, these things have nothing to do with us."

  Zhou Weiqing's hearing was very good, and he could naturally hear the words of the nearby civilian students. At this moment, a soft and delicate small hand slipped into his grasp. Zhou Weiqing turned his head to look, and saw Xue Bing's gentle smile.

  This was a girl he was destined to protect, Zhou Weiqing gently patted Shangguan Xue'er's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry, but he refused to let go. Shangguan Xue'er struggled lightly and was held back by him, so she had no choice but to blush and comply.

  "Are you Zhou Weiqing?" Just then, another voice calling out Zhou Weiqing's name appeared. This time, even Zhou Weiqing himself was somewhat surprised. He had previously expected that the trouble he would face would be mainly led by Bing'er, but unexpectedly, all those who came to find him were looking for him. Could it be that his charm was greater than Bing'er's? Also, recently he seemed to have become more handsome. As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Weiqing's mood suddenly became much better, and he turned his head to look over.

  The person who called him this time was standing in the aisle next to his row, and a total of three people came, all wearing luxurious school uniforms with a noble style. The leader looked around 20 years old, with a normal appearance, but with some dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion, slender and tall like a hemp pole. To describe him in a few words, this is a guy who has more mistresses than the infamous playboy Rockwell, clearly overindulging in wine and women. The two noble students standing behind him were much more robust, but it was clear that they were led by the person in front.

  "I am Zhou Weiqing." Zhou Weiqing smiled as he replied, his mouth curving into a handsome arc. His elegant demeanor left the surrounding commoner students somewhat bewildered - who was the real noble student? "Zhou Weiqing, hurry up and get going, you lucky kid! I heard you defeated Ji Ruoyu yesterday, and Big Brother took notice of you. Come with me for a trip."

  Although this guy was talking to Zhou Weiqing, his gaze fell straight on Shangguan Xue'er, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down several times. That unadulterated gaze was completely unvarnished. "Oh? May I ask, who is your boss?" Zhou Weiqing still had a elegant smile on his face as he asked calmly.

  "Ask what ask, you'll know when you get there. Quickly let go of your dirty hands, can you even hold this beauty's hand? Hurry up and go, I've condescended to sit in your commoner district today."

  At this moment, even Guan Bing'er's face turned somewhat unsightly. Although she was unwilling to provoke trouble and had a kind nature, don't forget that she was also someone who had killed people and fought on the battlefield. Being stared at so brazenly by a pervert, and this pervert wasn't even Zhou Weiqing, her face could hardly look good.

  Zhou Weiqing's face suddenly lit up with realization, and he said: "I know, your boss's surname is Wang, right?" Ma Gang was taken aback. "No, no, my boss's surname is Ye."

  Zhou Weiqing shook his head firmly and said, "No, no, your eldest brother must be surnamed Wang, the eighth in the family, and you are just a ball-shaped thing that he accidentally rolled out from under his butt."

  Ma Gun was left speechless, the mountain mist shrouded and somewhat bewildered, the commoner students sitting around Zhou Weiqing were the first to react, their eyes fixed on the tall and majestic horse group. The guy let out a snort of laughter. Ma Gun asked in confusion: "Little kid, are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting?"

  "Sir, have you heard of an animal called a turtle?" At this, many people around them suddenly understood and burst into laughter. But surprisingly, Ma Gang still didn't get it. Ma Gang nodded, "I've heard of it!" Zou Wei Qing said seriously, "What I just said was the story of a turtle and its egg."

  At this point, the two behind Ma Gun understood and the one on the left hurriedly said: "He cursed our boss as a turtle egg." The one on the right said: "Isn't the ball-shaped thing that rolls out from under the turtle's butt a turtle egg? He said you're a turtle egg!"

  "What?! You dare to scold me?" Ma Gou became furious and turned to the two noble students behind him: "What are you waiting for? Take him out! He scolded our leader as a turtle egg, and said I'm the son of our leader. Our leader won't let him off!"

  The two tall and majestic noble students standing behind him did not move, the one on the left muttered: "Lao Ge, this little guy is said to be an Upper Body Master, a Tianzhu Master with three beads of cultivation. We can't beat him! Big Brother asked you to come over, it seems like he just wanted you to invite him over for a chat."

  "Are you kidding me!!! He's already scolded our boss to the point of being called a turtle, what else is there to say. You little brat, just wait, you're dead for sure." The last sentence was shouted out loud, and it was directed at the group of old students from the Ye family standing on the side.

  More than a hundred civilian students on the other side were all very calm, and many people's faces showed a hint of anger, but no one made a sound. Ju Rong sat there, his facial muscles twitching slightly, but he didn't glance sideways.

  "Old Master has called you out, are you all dead? Did our Ye family provide for your cultivation and printing in vain? All of you get out here, otherwise, you know the consequences." The young man with a hemp rod, Ye Lou, was shouting loudly.

  At this time, the scene was basically all students, and there were also a few teachers. However, even if they heard the commotion over here and saw it was Ye Lou, they pretended not to have seen or heard anything. More than ten people slowly stood up from their seats on the side of the commoner students' old birth, walking out from their respective positions.

  A sharp voice came from behind Zhou Weiqing, who was sitting one row back. He leaned forward and said, "Boss, I asked around yesterday. The noble students are also divided into three six nine grades. In the academy, the most powerful is the Ye family. The head of the Ye family is currently the prime minister, with a duke title. They have a lot of power. Many of the Ye family's sons are in the academy."
