"What's going on here?" Stunned, Little Tyrant Yuan and the others stared at the notices in their hands.
What's going on here?
They hadn't even signed up yet!
How come the notice for the year-end assessment has already been issued?
Who would issue a year-end assessment notice to a few freshmen who have just joined the institute?
"Could there be some mistake?" Little Tyrant Yuan said.
"I'll go ask."
Before he could finish speaking, on the other side, Ling Yueyue and Ling Tianhan arrived, faces stern.
"It's no mistake, your names are definitely on it," Ling Tianhan said coldly: "The whole institute is buzzing with rumors now. They say you guys are overestimating yourselves, harboring malice. Having failed to falsely accuse Shi Qingqing and others earlier, you now plan to cause trouble in the year-end assessment and seek revenge against Shi Qingqing and her group."
Before he could finish, with a snap, Ling Yueyue fiercely whipped the air, seething with anger, "The whole institute is saying that you deserved this, and if you die in the arena, nobody else is to blame. Some even said they want to teach you a severe lesson, daring you to lay a hand on Shi Qingqing and others who aim to bring glory to the institute!"
"Oh, it infuriates me!" Unable to contain her temper any longer, Ling Yueyue exclaimed, "Were it not for my elder brother holding me back, telling me not to bother with these stupid, brainless people who are being used by others, I would have whipped them to death long ago! Scoundrels!"
She clenched her teeth and said, "It's definitely Shi Qingqing and her group behind this! That woman, appearing all graceful and gentle on the surface, actually harbors a more sinister mind than anyone else! Previously, when we faced danger in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm, it was Shi Qingqing who first suggested pushing us out to face those Death Souls!"
Saying this, Ling Yueyue was visibly grinding her teeth in anger.
And now, in this batch of listed names, including Little Tyrant Yuan, Luo Qingtong, Sima Jue, and Su Xiaoxiao, but notably lacking her own, doesn't that prove everything?
This is clearly a conspiracy by Shi Qingqing and her group, intending to legitimately kill Luo Qingtong and the others during the year-end assessment, eradicating any future problems, as they wouldn't be able to make their moves after entering the Daqin Saint Institute!
These scoundrels, their minds are truly sinister!
Not only planning to leave Luo Qingtong and the others dead, but also framing them, making it appear as though they brought it upon themselves!
Then Shi Qingqing and her group could act without any burdens!
These scoundrels, not only targeting Luo Qingtong and the others but also wanting to garner a good reputation for themselves in the process!
Really, they're taking all the advantages! Why don't they just ascend to heaven then?
Ling Yueyue truly could not wait to rush in front of Shi Qingqing and the others and fiercely whip them a good one.
Luo Qingtong heard their words, her lips curling slightly.
"If Shi Qingqing and her group dare to do this, they must have something to rely on, right?" she said calmly.
Back in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm, facing her, Shi Qingqing and her group fled like scared dogs!
If not for the overwhelming number of Death Souls that blocked her attacks, Shi Qingqing and her group would have been slain by her sword on the spot!
They wouldn't have had the chance to leave the Kaiyuan Secret Realm and return to the Tianyu Branch.
Not to mention destroying the Light Gate!
Isn't it because they are afraid of her returning alive to deal with them?
Now daring to be so arrogant, they surely must have gained some benefits.
Considering how Shi Qingqing and her group managed to miraculously survive amidst the attack of so many Death Souls, Luo Qingtong's eyes narrowed slightly.
