But if Ye Feng were not such a powerful Half-step Master, he would never have defeated Gao Zhixiang so easily.
Yang Yu and Yang Ming had never considered that Ye Feng might be a Grandmaster.
After all, a Grandmaster in his early twenties was simply too incredible for them.
The youngest person they knew of who had reached the Grandmaster level was at least forty years old.
Thus, they would never even think that Ye Feng might be such a powerful Grandmaster.
Gao Ningning stared blankly at Ye Feng, feeling how foolish her actions had been. She had thought Ye Feng would be in danger, but now she saw her elder brother, Gao Zhixiang, being so easily defeated by Ye Feng.
It was all her own wishful thinking. Recalling how worried she was for Ye Feng just moments ago, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Just then, Ye Feng slowly turned around and looked at Yang Yu and Yang Ming.
His gaze was as calm as ever, eerily so; it was impossible to discern any emotion.
The Yang brothers felt a chill run down their spines, a bad premonition forming in their hearts, and involuntarily held their breath, watching Ye Feng warily.
At that moment, Ye Feng moved, his figure blurring, leaving a trace of an afterimage where he stood.
Ye Feng moved incredibly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of Yang Yu and Yang Ming.
Fear was immediately apparent on their faces as they stared at Ye Feng, feeling tense.
They hadn’t even seen how Ye Feng had moved in front of them, which highlighted the vast gap between them and Ye Feng. Yang Ming struggled to maintain his composure, squeezing out a smile uglier than crying.
"Ye Feng," Yang Ming managed to say, "it seems there’s been a misunderstanding between us, we could just have a talk!" Yang Yu nodded in agreement, "Exactly, just a misunderstanding, Ye Feng, let’s talk this over, peacefully."
However, before Yang Yu could finish speaking, Ye Feng’s hands shot out, reaching for the faces of both Yang Ming and Yang Yu. They couldn’t muster any resistance and were immediately grabbed by Ye Feng.
The True Essence in Ye Feng’s hands transferred into Yang Ming and Yang Yu’s bodies. The moment they felt Ye Feng’s grip on their faces, they weakened, lost all strength to resist, and found themselves unable to break free.
Ye Feng looked at them coldly and said indifferently, "Tell me, what exactly happened today?"
"What... what do you mean?" Yang Yu stuttered, trembling.
The surrounding students watched the scene unfold, dumbstruck, as if they were dreaming.
Yang Ming and Yang Yu, prominent figures at Longdu University, were held helplessly in Ye Feng’s grip like little chicks, not even daring to speak loudly.
"Ah~~" Just then, Ye Feng tightened his grip. The fingers digging into Yang Ming’s and Yang Yu’s faces intensified, causing them to feel a sharp pain.
They screamed in agony, feeling as if their faces were about to be crushed by Ye Feng.
"Lighter! Lighter!" Yang Yu and Yang Ming cried out, feeling utterly powerless.
Ye Feng spoke coldly, "Last chance, state your purpose for coming here today, explain everything clearly, and I might let you go. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind crushing your faces."
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, the students around them wore puzzled expressions, unsure of what Ye Feng wanted them to say.
Yang Yu quickly responded, "I’ll talk! Ye Feng, please go easier, just let me down, I’ll tell everything!"
Ye Feng then let Yang Ming and Yang Yu down. After being released, they both breathed a sigh of relief, looking as though they had narrowly escaped death.
Yang Yu glared at Li Rong, "Ye Feng, it’s all because of this bitch. She instructed me to deal with you, to team up with my cousin and gather everyone here today, then falsely accuse you of taking advantage of her, setting my cousin and me against you!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing Yang Yu’s words; they hadn’t expected that their purpose today was specifically to cause trouble for Ye Feng. Ye Feng had not taken advantage of Li Rong at all; it was all her fabrication.
At this moment, Zhang Hang stepped forward and said loudly, "Yes, Ye Feng never laid a hand on Li Rong! Here’s what happened, that day at our dormitory door, Li Rong asked me to do her a favor..."
Then, Zhang Hang quickly explained the incident when Li Rong tried to frame him to shoot a video.
"Holy shit, so that’s what happened? That’s way too much!" The crowd exploded, emitting waves of anger, clearly scornful of Li Rong’s actions.
The people discussed among themselves, "Li Rong, such an excessive woman, and I wondered where all these positive energy videos came from, turns out she’s been filming by deceiving others; that’s so dishonest, we should stay away from her in the future!"
"Yes, she shot many positive energy videos before. If all were deceits, didn’t we falsely accuse many students and unjustly label others?"
"I don’t know how many students Li Rong has wronged before, I can’t believe she even tried to frame Ye Feng today, utterly disgraceful!"
Nearly everyone grew angry, feeling indignant at Li Rong’s behavior. Li Rong’s face turned incredibly sullen as her positive image at Longdu University was completely destroyed in a matter of minutes.
Li Rong burst out, "Bullshit! I never wronged him; Ye Feng is scum, and the videos I made are all real!"
"Come off it," someone retorted, "you’re clearly holding a grudge, still claiming that Ye Feng took advantage of you, even now you want to argue, Yang Yu has admitted everything, what are you pretending for?"
