Ye Qing Luo’s thin brows frowned slightly when she caught the tone in Yun Duan’s voice and brought a little caution.
Was Yun Duan seeking her opinion?
It should be… impossible.
Ye Qing Luo cast the thought aside and gave a little nod: “I shall abide to the grand elder’s arrangements.”
Yun Duan stroked his white beard and threw a side glance at Yun Xiang, with unpleasant looks on his face.
“Student Ye, you must be terrified. Go ahead and get some rest, the elder quarter will take action to apologise some other day.”
Ye Qing Luo was a tactful person, as the grand elder of the elder quarters, he wouldn’t blame it on his own people.
And Liu Xue Yue became the tool that Yun Duan used to block the knife for Yun Xiang.
Yun Xiang punished Liu Xue Yue and even asked if Ye Qing Luo was happy with the results as an indication that she should step down and not probed further.
Ye Qing Luo knew what she had to do; she gave a courteous bow to Yun Duan and left the hall immediately.
Her ears twitched the moment she stepped out of the hall, only to hear Yun Duan’s voice: “Don’t just stand there, you better reflect on your own actions. You shall remain in your courtyard for the next few days to show remorse as an accountability towards student Ye.”
“Grand Elder! She is only a freshman! You…..”
“She is indeed a freshman.” Yun Duan interrupted Yun Xiang’s word, “But this freshman is someone you cannot afford to offend, so you better steer clear away from her and not get the elder quarters involved otherwise I will not be able to protect you the next time!”
“I have check on her background, there isn’t anything special beside that she knows the overlord.” Yun Xiang’s tone became more solemn when he realised Yun Duan was being serious, “Moreover, this freshman is someone that the upper level wants to watch….”
It seemed like his words were stopped by Yun Duan before he could finish his sentence.
Ye Qing Luo was unable to halt her footwork as there were guards surrounding her.
As she gradually made her way out of the elder quarters, she was unable to detect Yun Duan’s voice with her sharp ears.
But she was still able to make out some of the words faintly: “She has other backers besides the Overlord.”
“……”
After that, she could no longer hear any voices.
But Ye Qing Luo caught a key name.
Vaguely, she seemed to have caught a name of a master Zhu besides the overlord.
Master Zhu?
Subconsciously, it reminded her of the cortege that came to deliver the medicine pills previously who had also mentioned about Master Zhu.
Could it be…. The reason why Yun Duan would appear and stood on her side unconditionally to punish Liu Xue Yue was because of that master Zhu?”
That master Zhu….
Who exactly was he?
Ye Qing Luo was puzzled and confused as she had searched for his name in her memory but to no vail.
………
Back in the dormitory, Liu Xiao Yu was pacing up and down the hallway anxiously.
Seeing that Ye Qing Luo had returned, she immediately pounced forward and hugged her: “You are finally back! I heard that you have been taken to elder quarters and I went searching high and low for master Gui You but to no avail! I got so worried!”
Ye Qing Luo patted on Liu Xiao Yu’s back gently and consoled her.
She quickly related the happenings at the elder quarter to Liu Xiao Yu, including the appearance of Yun Duan and Liu Xue Yue being punished.
Liu Xiao Yu’s eyes widened as she listened to the story, her jaws dropped open: “You say Liu Xue Yue’s vice president position has been… suspended?”
Seeing Ye Qing Luo nodded her head, Liu Xiao Yu couldn’t help bursting out into laughter: “Hahaha, let’s see how she will be arrogant next time!”
Liu Xue Yue was so full of herself because of her vice president’s identity.
But now, after the news was announced and recorded of a major demerit point, what else could she be proud of after she lost the glamorous coat of the vice president?
