Chapter 937 Inexplicable hostility

Time flies, and before we know it, another autumn has arrived.

Qinglong Academy was rebuilt and is much more magnificent than before.

After the war, there were only more than 200 students surviving. Now the number has expanded to more than 2,000, more than ten times the previous number.

Feng Beishuo and Yunxian never appeared from beginning to end.

At first, Ruan Yu was able to deceive himself that the two men were just out, so he escaped. However, a year later, the two men still did not show up, and it was very likely that they had been killed long ago.

The teachers and students of the college unanimously decided to support Ruan Yu as the new dean.

It was natural for Ruan Yu to take on this hot potato.

She spent so much money and energy to rebuild the college. It can be said that every brick and tile of the college is her contribution.

It's normal to be a dean, right?

New year, new qualifying.

Almost everyone is pessimistic about Qinglong Academy. After all, Qinglong Academy’s tens of thousands of years of foundation have been destroyed. How can it have the resources to train students?

Yes, Qinglong Academy does have a genius alchemist and a god-level alchemist—Ruan Yu.

But she had limited energy and it was impossible for her to refine a large amount of ammunition for the students to use.

As for the rumors spread by the craftsmen last year, they just thought it was a gimmick deliberately released by Qinglong Academy to attract students.

"Who do you think will win this year's qualifying competition?" On the day of the qualifying competition, various forces gathered at the White Tiger Academy.

"I am optimistic about White Tiger Academy."

"I believe in Azure Dragon Academy. Have you forgotten? Last year, we were just like today. We didn't take Azure Dragon Academy seriously at all, but the facts dealt us a heavy blow! With Ruan Yu, this monster, here, how could we not win?"

Some people were persuaded.

At this time, a voice immediately sounded: "But isn't Ruan Yu the dean of Qinglong College? She is not participating in the competition. It is undeniable that Ruan Yu is indeed very powerful, but what does it have to do with her students?"

With just one word, the balance in everyone's hearts gradually tilted towards White Tiger Academy.

"I heard that the five-element genius girl Yao Yue has broken through to the sixth level of the emperor realm! In just one year, she has improved so much!"

"She is the winner of this competition!"

Everyone was talking at once in a heated discussion.

However, the genius girl Yao Yue, as they called her, was now standing in front of the team, standing on tiptoe and looking around.

"Yaoyue, who are you looking for?" The student from White Tiger Academy walked forward with a red face.

"Ruan Yu."

"What do you want to see Ruan Yu for? She is the dean now and will not participate in the competition."

There was a hint of disappointment in Yao Yue's eyes: "I know, but I want to see her."

After the incident at Qinglong Academy, she wanted to help but was stopped by her master. Later, she heard that Ruan Yu had returned and successfully resolved the crisis by turning the tide with her own strength.

Later, when Qinglong Academy was rebuilt, she also came. Unfortunately, at that time, Qinglong Academy was heavily guarded and no one except Qinglong Academy was allowed to enter or leave.

Only then did she give up the idea.

Now that the qualifying round has begun, she can finally meet Ruan Yu. How can she not be excited?

"Yaoyue, aren't you competitors? You should hate her, but why do I feel like you want to be friends with her?" asked a student from White Tiger Academy in confusion.

Yao Yue immediately turned her head, frowned and said seriously: "Who told you that I should hate her?"

"I... because, because you lost the game to her and everyone was laughing at you, shouldn't you hate her just for that?"

"If I didn't have this much tolerance, I would have angered myself to death long ago." Yao Yue said in a cold tone.

She has always been gentle to others, but now she can no longer suppress her emotions: "Ruan Yu is a strong person and deserves the respect of everyone. What's more, we have never been in a competitive relationship. I..."

Yao Yue's eyes darkened, and her tone was mixed with a bit of disappointment: "I am not qualified enough to be her opponent."

Her intuition told her that during this year, Ruan Yu's cultivation had reached a terrifying level.

And she was afraid that she would never be able to catch up with her even if she spent her entire life.

The student who was scolded lowered his head in embarrassment and muttered indignantly: "Tsk, what's the big deal? Isn't it just being the dean? It's not like being the emperor!"

When he meets people from Qinglong Academy later, he must teach them a lesson!

Ruan Yu didn't know yet that she was being hated by someone she had never met.

She appeared in the square with the participating team, and suddenly, countless eyes from all directions converged on her. Among them, there was a very hateful look, which Ruan Yu could hardly ignore.

She followed her gaze and saw the student behind Yao Yue.

This man was ugly, dark and thin. Ruan Yu was sure that she had never had any contact with him.

So, what's the reason for this inexplicable hostility?

"Ruan Yu." Yao Yue thought Ruan Yu was looking at her, and ran over happily, "It's been a year since we last met, and you've become more and more beautiful."

Yao Yue wanted to hug Ruan Yu, but felt that this action was too abrupt, so she forced herself to lower her hands.

Now they are in public, and Ruan Yu's identity is different from before, so she can't be so presumptuous.

"Long time no see." Ruan Yu smiled back.

"After the last competition, I have been in seclusion almost all the time. Now I have reached the sixth level of the Emperor Realm." Yao Yue looked at Ruan Yu with anticipation, like a child waiting to be praised.

Ruan Yu said perfunctorily: "Great."

However, Yao Yue enjoyed it very much. She felt like she was immersed in a honey pot and felt very sweet in her heart.

"Who is that person?"

Ruan Yu glanced at the boy who was hostile to her.

Yao Yue looked back and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's my junior fellow apprentice, Lin Bei. He...he seems to dislike you a little, but I scolded him, so don't take it to heart."

"He wants to kill me." Ruan Yu waved his hand, signaling the participating students behind him to sit in their respective seats.

Yao Yue's face turned pale. Why did Lin Bei want to kill Ruan Yu? Just because Ruan Yu defeated him?

"I, I will talk to him nicely and promise not to let him hurt you."

Ruan Yu asked: "If you had to choose between him and me, who would you choose?"

"Of course I choose you." Yao Yue answered without hesitation.

Although she and Ruan Yu met because of a competition and they didn't have much friendship, friendship is so strange that she had long regarded Ruan Yu as a close friend.

Even their status in one’s heart is no less than that of one’s own relatives.

As for Lin Bei... Although Lin Bei was her junior fellow apprentice, she somehow always felt that there was an inexplicable gap between them.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Ruan Yu pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was dazzling.

Just because of what Yao Yue said, she might consider lending a helping hand if Yao Yue gets into trouble in the future.
