In the two days after breaking through to the second stage, Ye Li stayed in the Scripture Depository Pavilion.
It was rather quiet during that time.
Yu Qianqian was right.
Even the instructor who rushed over that night was shocked by the situation of Liu Yangde and the other two. After understanding the whole story, he didn't take any punishment against Ye Li.
Instead, he actively requested the school to make Ye Li an official member of the school team.
His attitude was extremely eager.
And Vice - Principal Li Haohan, upon hearing about the relevant matters, immediately agreed.
Afterward, he planned to have a chat with Ye Li to enhance their relationship. But upon hearing that the young man had been staying in the Library Pavilion for the past two days, he didn't rashly disturb him.
Anyway, Ye Li was now an official member of the Linhai School Team.
It's worth mentioning that this morning, on the way to the Library Pavilion, he happened to run into Wang Ren, who had just returned from the hospital.
Wang Ren had a bandage wrapped around his face and a steel plate on his body.
When he saw Ye Li, who was calm and composed, his face immediately showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he exclaimed:
"Why are you okay?!"
With Liu Yangde taking action, he thought Ye Li would definitely suffer a big loss.
At the very least, Ye Li should be dejected, like a plucked rooster.
However, the Ye Li in front of him was full of energy, with a calm and unhurried posture, and a stable and long - lasting aura.
Where was there the slightest sign of being frustrated?
Could it be that Liu Yangde didn't attack him?
Ye Li casually asked: "Why would I have something wrong?"
"Liu Yangde actually didn't touch you..." Wang Ren blurted out subconsciously.
"Liu Yangde? Oh, him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li showed a look of sudden realization, then smiled lightly and said: "I've already dealt with him."
"Dealt with him? What do you mean?"
"It seems you two didn't go to the same hospital." Ye Li shook his head regretfully.
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
He originally wanted to casually earn some Malice Value, but unexpectedly, Wang Ren was so frightened by his action that he turned and ran.
Looking at the other person's figure running away, Ye Li was also a bit surprised.
"I'm not a villain. Is it really that scary?"
There was about a week left until the exchange competition next week.
There were only six positions for official members. Ye Li didn't care who he had replaced.
He only knew that the instructor of the school team had applied for an A - level scholarship for him.
Five hundred thousand Hanxia Coins had been transferred to his card.
This allowed him to choose a slightly more advanced breathing method.
"C - grade breathing method, Blazing Flame Strength, 450,000 Hanxia Coins."
"C - grade breathing method, Raging Waves Decision, 500,000 Hanxia Coins."
"B - grade breathing method incomplete scroll, 700,000 Hanxia Coins?"
On the third floor of the Library Pavilion, Ye Li looked at the rows of breathing methods on the light screen and felt a splitting headache.
There really wasn't anything suitable.
The only B - grade breathing method was an incomplete scroll, priced at 700,000.
If he wanted to complete it with the help of the system, it would cost a large amount of Malice Value.
"Forget it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just go ask the school directly. It's just a breathing method. I don't believe they won't give it to me."
After continuously choosing for two days in the Library Pavilion, Ye Li's choice paralysis finally flared up, and he finally decided to take advantage of the school.
Leaving the Library Pavilion, Ye Li headed all the way to the training building.
On the way, he received a lot of strange looks. Most of the gazes were filled with fear.
Ye Li then remembered one thing.
The day before yesterday, after knocking down Liu Yangde and the other two, although the school had no objections, somehow the news spread quickly within the school.
However, the versions of these rumors were a bit absurd
"The newly - joined substitute of the school team openly provokes other members, disrupting the team's atmosphere!"
"Ye Li from Martial Arts Class Nine is arrogant and actually severely injured three team members!"
"How can a substitute beat three official members?"
"I heard that this person's strength is only at the fifth level of the first stage. He must have used some underhanded means!"
"The exchange competition is next week. Why is he attacking his own team members at this time?"
"I also think he has ulterior motives. If it weren't for Senior Jiang, it feels like the school team of Linhai No.1 Middle School would be ruined by this person!"
Most of these rumors were more or less the same.
The general idea was that Ye Li was arrogant, used some underhanded means, and severely injured three team members.
As the saying goes, rumors can be as powerful as a tiger.
This kind of absurd rumor, similar to "a certain student challenged the principal to a fight on the weekend," quickly became a hot topic within the school.
Ye Li naturally became the target of discussion.
Moreover, because the "means" in the rumors were too vicious, those students who believed the rumors developed a sense of fear towards him.
"Rumormongers are so annoying no matter where they are..."
Ye Li shook his head helplessly. In fact, he didn't care much about this matter.
There was only a month left until the martial arts exam and graduation. By then, everyone would go their separate ways to defend against strange beasts, and they probably wouldn't even cross paths.
There was no need to be about a baseless rumor.
Never fall into the trap of self - justification. Start with me... Ye Li nodded slightly and walked into the training building as if there was no one else around.
However, not caring doesn't mean really not caring.
If I catch that rumormongering bastard...
Damn rumormonger, I'll definitely make you pay!
Just then, a heavenly sound rang in Ye Li's ears.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, your notoriety level has been upgraded!]
[Notoriety LV1: Your notoriety is little - known!]
[Golden - quality reward has been issued!]
On the fifth floor of the training building, in the captain's office.
"Senior Jiang."
With tears in her eyes, Shen Lian sat on a chair and said pitifully to the person across the wooden table:
"This Ye Li really can't stay. He not only injured Captain Liu, but he also attacked me before. If I hadn't reacted quickly that day, I'm afraid I'd be lying in the hospital now."
In front of the wooden table, a girl with black hair over her shoulders sat upright. She had delicate features and a cold - looking small face. In front of her was a book titled [Summary of Spear Techniques].
After listening to Shen Lian's complaint, Jiang Qingzhu's face showed no fluctuation at all.
Still looking at the [Summary of Spear Techniques] on the table, after flipping to the next page, she said indifferently:
"You should talk to Teacher Wang about this. It's useless to talk to me."
Shen Lian was taken aback, but she had spent a great deal of effort spreading rumors these days, just for this moment.
She had to make this girl teach that Ye Li a lesson!
Shen Lian immediately gritted her teeth and said: "Senior Jiang, you also know that Teacher Wang has never stopped this kind of behavior. But this Ye Li is different!"
"The high - school exchange competition is coming soon. He's provoking internal strife at this time. Obviously, he wants to ruin our future!"
"Vice - Captain Liu has already been sent to the hospital by him. If you don't take action, Senior Jiang, no one can stop him!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingzhu finally looked up at Shen Lian and said calmly:
"Student Shen Lian, your act of feigning injury is very bad."
Shen Lian immediately blushed: "Senior, I..."
"Get out."
"No, Senior, I'm really..."
"I'll say it again." Jiang Qingzhu frowned slightly, and the air in the room suddenly dropped several degrees. Her voice was cold as she said:
"Get out and close the door behind you."
"..." Shen Lian was full of reluctance.
Dare not contradict the black - haired girl, she finally left the room with an ashen - faced expression.
When the door closed again, Jiang Qingzhu gently tapped the table with her fingers, making a "tick - tick" sound.
The air was silent for two seconds.
Jiang Qingzhu picked up her phone from the table, dialed a number, and said politely:
"Student Yu Qianqian, it's me. Are you in the training building now?"
"According to the rules, I should talk to Ye Li. I heard you have a good relationship with him. Please help me call him over."
"Thank you."
