On the other side, Miss Gongyang was still unaware of the terrible incident that had occurred at the stables.
She was still chatting and laughing with people from the three Branch Academies.
At this moment, they had already arrived at the venue for the exchange meeting, which was the Xingluo Hall of the War Soul Star Palace.
As the group stepped inside, they saw several men and women already seated.
The one leading them was a young woman dressed in the attire of the Holy Dragon General Academy. The smiles on everyone’s faces froze; the students of the Holy Dragon General Academy had already arrived.
One by one, they wondered who this leading genius was.
At that time, the woman slowly stood up, her gaze falling on Miss Gongyang.
Then, she walked over step by step, with several students from the Holy Dragon General Academy following leisurely behind her, until she stopped in front of Miss Gongyang and asked indifferently, "Are you Miss Gongyang?"
Miss Gongyang bowed slightly and replied, "Indeed, may I ask who you are?"
The next instant, before Miss Gongyang could react, the woman slapped her, striking her beautiful face hard.
Although Miss Gongyang was strong in Martial Arts, she had not anticipated a sudden attack.
Caught off guard, she was confused by the blow, and her crimson veil was knocked off.
She was holding her face, stunned.
In the next moment, Aunt Mian and several members of the Moon Soul Group came to their senses, and the sound of weapons being drawn rang out as they pointed them at the students of the Holy Dragon General Academy, their murderous intent spreading wildly.
Following that, Aunt Mian roared, "Holy Dragon General Academy, are you seeking death?"
The woman who had slapped her laughed wildly, then said, "Seeking death? What a big joke. The mere guards of the War Soul Imperial Advisor dare to spout such conceited threats at my Holy Dragon General Academy, have your brains been kicked by a donkey?"
At these words, everyone was stunned.
Indeed, the Three Great Academies were too powerful, and none was something that Gongyang Ren could afford to offend.
Hearing this, Aunt Mian’s face turned extremely ugly, and she could only look towards Miss Gongyang...
At this point, Miss Gongyang finally came back to her senses.
Fury blazed in her eyes, and then she slowly pulled the veil back up, her voice ice-cold as she asked, "What does the Holy Dragon General Academy mean by this, have I, Gongyang Ying, offended you?"
She clenched her teeth tightly, rage squeezing through them.
However, she couldn’t retaliate immediately, even after being humiliated with a slap, because she had to consider the powerful background of the other party.
She needed to consider the safety of her grandfather and the Imperial Advisor Mansion...
Hearing this, the girl from the Holy Dragon General Academy coldly replied, "Firstly, I dislike you. Why should you, Gongyang Ying, be called an Immortal? It should be I, Lian Zhiyu, who deserved to be called an Immortal."
As soon as she said this, Miss Gongyang was stunned again and incredulously replied, "I have never liked others calling me the Moon Soul Fairy."
At the same time, the name "Lian Zhiyu" flashed through her mind. Ranked 86 in the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List, she was a True Inheritor Student of the Holy Dragon General Academy, with an Extraordinary Realm Blood Refining Chasing Dragon, known for being domineering and unreasonable.
Her father was a high-ranking official in the Holy Dragon General Academy, and she had been extremely willful and unruly since she was a child.
"Secondly, the third prince Lu Ding died because of you."
Lian Zhiyu sneered continually. She didn’t care whether Miss Gongyang liked to be called an Immortal or not; she simply disliked her.
Then, she stated the second reason for hitting her.
This reason left Miss Gongyang even more confused, and she immediately retorted, "The third prince Lu Ding died within the Long Night Empire, killed by the Disciple of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, Sikong Jing. What does that have to do with me?"
About the death of the third prince Lu Ding, there was a huge uproar among the higher echelons of the War Soul Dynasty, and Miss Gongyang was very clear about it.
"Humph, still saying it has nothing to do with you?"
"Why did Lu Ding go to the Long Night Empire? It was because he liked you. He accepted the Emperor’s Order from your War Soul Dynasty to issue a challenge, and that led to his death at the hands of that bastard Sikong Jing."
As Lian Zhuiyu spoke, Gongyang Ying’s face showed utter disbelief.
At this moment, Aunt Mian could no longer hold her tongue and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? It wasn’t our Miss Gongyang who asked the third prince to issue a challenge. I think you’re the one who liked the third prince and are now jealous of our Miss."
Upon hearing this, Lian Zhuiyu’s expression darkened, as Aunt Mian had clearly struck a nerve.
Without warning, she slapped Gongyang Ying again.
But this time, the latter was prepared and forcefully grasped the former’s hand, her eyes fierce as she said, "Don’t go too far."
However, with an icy expression, Lian Zhuiyu quickly slapped the Moon Soul Group guard beside Gongyang Ying instead. The guard let out a low cry and flew backwards into the students of the Three Great Subacademies, but no one dared to help.
"Lian Zhuiyu, you..."
Seeing this, Gongyang Ying was furious beyond measure. The Moon Soul Group member being struck was just like a severe slap to her own face.
Regrettably, before she could finish speaking, Lian Zhuiyu interrupted, "What about me? I did slap you, and I slapped your guard. You dare hit me back?"
As she spoke, Lian Zhuiyu pointed to her own face, her sneering laugh incessant.
Aunt Mian and the guards of the Moon Soul Group were red-faced and shaking with rage. The opponent was doing whatever she pleased, backed by the Holy Dragon General Academy, and they could not strike back at will.
As guards for Miss Gongyang, they felt aggrieved and humiliated.
Clenching her teeth, Gongyang Ying shouted, "Lian Zhuiyu, I challenge you..."
If she wanted to fight, to take revenge, then it had to be through a fair battle, as this would leave no room for fault-finding.
Unfortunately, Lian Zhuiyu had anticipated this and laughed disdainfully, "I refuse. Do you, ranked 30th on the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List, even have the face to challenge me? Haha, I won’t accept your challenge. But I dare you to try hitting me."
As these words were spoken, the onlookers from the three Subacadmies found the scene increasingly hard to watch; this was nothing short of shamelessness.
Martial Artists are all brave warriors, aren’t they?
But Lian Zhuiyu was just that shameless, pointing at her face and laughing strangely, "Hit me, come on, hit me!"
Several students from the Holy Dragon General Academy were also laughing hysterically.
Students like Qiu Baichu from the War Soul Sacred Dragon Palace had their faces turning green with embarrassment; Lian Zhuiyu was just too shameless.
As a student of the Holy Dragon Branch Academy, Qiu Baichu dared not say anything.
Gongyang Ying clenched her fists tightly, her face so red it seemed it might bleed, but she could not bring big troubles upon her grandfather.
If only someone could stand up for her now and give Lian Zhuiyu a good thrashing, how wonderful that would be.
In the next instant, Gongyang Ying’s wish came true.
A black figure suddenly appeared before her, and a detached voice said, "Lian Zhuiyu, as you wish."
As the words fell, a heavy slap landed on the arrogant and shameless face of Lian Zhuiyu. The crisp sound echoed throughout the hall, turning her triumphant laughter into a scream as she flew into the Xingluo Hall and crashed heavily to the ground.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
When Gongyang Ying saw the figure’s back, she was somewhat entranced. Was the person a student from the Xingluo General Academy or the Heavenly Dao General Academy? Only they dared to make a move, and only they were not afraid of offending the Holy Dragon General Academy.
However, when the dark figure turned around, Gongyang Ying was taken aback and blurted out uncontrollably, "Shihun, Shihun!"
