Chapter 428: Chapters 316-318: The Fierce Mud Dragon
Yi Luo Xiang didn't hold any resentment towards Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan, even though they were both very direct and even rude in what they said. She could truly understand their feelings. It wasn't just them—by now, even she had begun to loathe herself.
Back then, it was Xin Yun who gathered everyone together when they were at their most lost and helpless, forming this harmonious, warm little family. Although everyone was around the same age, it was precisely because of this that everyone worshipped Xin Yun hopelessly. To them, Xin Yun was the greatest person in the world.

But now, their idol in their hearts, the one who seemed incapable of failure, was suffering humiliation. While the others had no solution, and she, who could potentially solve it, refused to take a firm stance. If things continued like this, what would become of Xin Yun?
Her fair and delicate hand gradually clenched tighter, and Yi Luo Xiang's gaze became increasingly angry. It was all because of those despicable people. Why wouldn't they listen to reason? Did she have to get angry before they realized what they should and shouldn't do? If that was really the case, then there was nothing more to say. Heaven's wrath is tolerable, but one's own doing is unbearable.
She took a deep breath; what was done was done, and regretting it now was useless. Her most important task at the moment was to find a solution quickly and deal with the future issues. Yi Luo Xiang knew that this incident was not the end of it; it was just a spark. The real trouble hadn't even begun.
Today's confrontation made Yi Luo Xiang clearly realize something: she could forgive past events, but from now on, she must handle her affairs properly. If she failed to do so, the others might help, but if things continued as before, their disdain would grow over time. In the end... once Xin Yun was expelled from the Academy, even if they did not fall apart, they would definitely not care about her anymore. For her, it would be nothing short of the end of the world.
The reason she didn't blame Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan was that Yi Luo Xiang thought it through clearly. If their roles were reversed, with her as Yan Qingying and Yan Qingying as her, she wouldn't be able to accept such a situation either. It was utterly senseless.
Yi Luo Xiang's intelligence was never in doubt, but intelligence couldn't replace experience. Many things were considered too one-sidedly by her, and her perspective might be problematic. However, with just a little reminder from someone, she could quickly work through many problems.
An ultimatum, huh? No doubt about it... If Yan Qingying hadn't been pushed to her limit, she would not have come to her, and Ming Xuan wouldn't have written that letter. In the foreseeable future, not only would Xin Yun face numerous challenges, but Yi Luo Xiang would not have it easy either. If she could not resolve her affairs, then she might as well not bother. Even if the others didn't drive her away, she wouldn't have the face to stay herself—a vase that only caused trouble and could not solve any was worthless.
But, leaving Xin Yun, where could she go? How would she live the rest of her life? To Yi Luo Xiang, that was more terrifying than death itself.
Leaving Yi Luo Xiang's thoughts aside for now, on the other hand... Xin Yun lay comfortably on his dormitory bed, feeling greatly relieved from today's battle. Finally, he could get a good night's sleep.
Xin Yun was aware that his actions today had offended many people, and that doing so would not calm things but only intensify the conflict. Unless they were willing to admit they were afraid of Xin Yun, those true powers were bound to make a statement, and various disputes were inevitable.
Moreover, there have always been sayings like "beauty is a source of trouble." Now that Yi Luo Xiang had made an appearance today, nothing could be concealed anymore. In this world, there was no shortage of those who covet beauty, and Yi Luo Xiang's attractiveness was sufficient to incite them to do anything.
But would Xin Yun be afraid of those guys? Of course not! Though he was still lacking in strength, though his preparations weren't complete, since the matter had already come to a head, he would not fear anything. If he could be so daring in his past life, all the more so now, reborn as a formidable him.
As for Yi Luo Xiang's weakness, Xin Yun was not angry. In fact... Yi Luo Xiang was just that kind of person. Even at her angriest, it was hard for her to curse like a shrew. Even facing a mortal enemy, she was always temperate, never hot or cold. To put it plainly, that was called temperament!
The same anger, if felt by those fierce girls, would surely result in a thorough tongue-lashing for their opponent. But for Yi Luo Xiang, after much effort, the harshest things she could muster were "trash" or "scum" at most. It was her limit—never expect her to stand with hands on hips, pointing at the other's nose, and verbally blasting them fiercely.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious dormitory within the Academy, a burly fellow leaned against the headboard, cradling a voluptuous girl in an Academy uniform, his large hands unrestrainedly exploring, leaving the girl gasping for breath, whimpering continuously.
Next to the large bed stood another student, also clad in an Academy uniform, standing there respectfully with his eyes fixed on the ground, daring not to take even a half glance at the bed.
After quite some time, the burly guy spoke up, "That guy, is he really that arrogant? Did he really dare say those words?"
