"You, you, you..." Li Zhou stammered for a long time but couldn't get a proper word out.
The others, having heard Elder Kou's voice, also looked at Feng Yuqin in shock.
"Is there someone nearby?" Elder Kou's voice came again. "It seems there are quite a few people. What's going on?"
"I'm in the Mission Hall..." Feng Yuqin paused. "But the people in the Mission Hall are blocking me from taking on missions?"
"Which bastard?" Elder Kou's powerful voice boomed.
Plop!
This time, Li Zhou couldn't hold himself up and knelt directly on the ground.
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian didn't expect that the so - arrogant Li Zhou just now would turn out to be so timid in a blink of an eye.
It was simply unbearable to watch.
They glanced at each other and decided that they were not needed here for the moment.
After all, since Elder Kou had stepped in, they might as well just be qualified onlookers.
The others in the Mission Hall looked at Li Zhou and then at Feng Yuqin.
Then... they all took a few steps back in unison.
They made sure to keep a distance from Feng Yuqin.
They didn't want to provoke her.
After all, they didn't even dare to provoke Li Zhou.
And now, if even Li Zhou couldn't afford to provoke this person, then she was definitely someone they couldn't afford to mess with.
Moreover, in the academy, wasn't the most well - known Elder Kou exactly that one?
Basically, when the Dean Shang was not around, many matters were handled by Elder Kou and the vice - dean.
The vice - dean was often in seclusion or dealing with other things.
So, many matters in the academy would be taken care of by Elder Kou.
This was what these students could think of.
Or rather, the only person who could scare Li Zhou like this was probably the Elder Kou they knew.
Seeing Li Zhou so scared, Feng Yuqin showed no signs of sympathy. "I don't know who you are. Why don't you introduce yourself to Elder Kou?"
Hearing this, Li Zhou's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled.
"Which bastard? Speak up," Elder Kou sounded clearly very angry over there.
Li Zhou steadied his body and stammered, "Elder... Elder Kou, it's... it's... it's me, Li Zhou."
"Li Zhou?" Elder Kou heard the name and thought for a while. "The person in charge of the Mission Hall?"
"Yes... it's me." Li Zhou's face looked even worse.
Although it was a good thing to be remembered by Elder Kou, it wasn't a good thing to be remembered at this moment.
"Damn it! What right do you have to stop this girl Feng Yuqin from taking on missions?" Elder Kou's roaring voice echoed throughout the Mission Hall.
From then on, everyone in the Mission Hall knew Feng Yuqin's name.
Before, they had only heard of Feng Yuqin, but now they saw her in person.
Sure enough, seeing her in person was more impactful than just hearing her name.
"I... I..." Li Zhou looked like he was about to cry and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how.
Elder Kou's voice came again. "Does the Mission Hall have a rule that she can't take on missions? Or does the academy's regulations have such a rule?"
"No... no." Li Zhou was completely flustered.
"Then let her take on missions. Let her take whatever she wants," Elder Kou's voice was powerful, with a hint of dissatisfaction towards Li Zhou.
"Yes," Li Zhou replied tremblingly.
"You're fined half a year's worth of resources," Elder Kou's words made Li Zhou's face turn white.
Then they heard Elder Kou speak again. "If I ever find out that you do such a thing again, you can just get out."
Li Zhou: "..."
"Girl..." Elder Kou's tone suddenly softened, becoming gentle and kind.
Seeing this differential treatment, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Yes," Feng Yuqin replied.
"Choose whatever you want. If anyone blocks you, come to me," Elder Kou said.
"Okay." After Feng Yuqin ended the call with Elder Kou, everyone didn't know what expression to use to face her.
But Feng Yuqin didn't care about their attitudes.
She looked at Li Zhou. "Can I register now?"
Li Zhou nodded and got up from the ground. "Yes."
...
"Is this girl really that good?" The speaker was Dean Shang of the Mountain and Sea Academy.
Elder Kou had informed him to come back before.
He had rushed back immediately after receiving the news, but he had been delayed on the way back due to some matters.
So, he had only arrived at the academy today.
While chatting with Elder Kou, he saw him smilingly answer a communication jade slip.
Only then did he know that this girl was Feng Yuqin, the one Elder Kou had always been telling him about and praising so much.
"You'll know if she's good or not if you take a look," Elder Kou said and waved his hand.
The scene in the Mission Hall appeared in front of their eyes.
At this moment, Li Zhou was registering the missions that Feng Yuqin was about to take on.
During the registration, all the missions were displayed on the big screen.
Dean Shang and Elder Kou could also clearly see the missions on it.
Dean Shang wasn't very surprised at first.
But when he saw Feng Yuqin's face, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, when he saw the missions on the screen, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He pointed at the screen. "Are you sure this isn't a joke?"
Elder Kou chuckled. "Dean, you don't know this. I've had contact with this girl a few times. She's never a reckless person. Since she's chosen these missions, she'll definitely complete them within a year."
"What if she can't complete them?" Dean Shang squinted his eyes and looked at Elder Kou. "You know, according to the academy's regulations, if she can't complete them, she has to leave the academy."
"Dean, when have I ever misjudged someone?" Elder Kou asked.
Of course, Dean Shang knew this.
Elder Kou was a very picky person.
Very few people could catch his eye.
At least in the Mountain and Sea Academy, the number of people he praised didn't exceed three.
Even for these three people, he would only mention them occasionally, saying that this person was good in some aspects and worthy of cultivation.
But Feng Yuqin...
Dean Shang remembered that as soon as he saw Elder Kou, eight out of ten sentences were about Feng Yuqin.
All were words of praise for Feng Yuqin.
As Dean Shang was thinking like this, his gaze fell on the missions on the big screen.
"For others, it would probably take more than a hundred people to complete these missions within a year," Dean Shang said.
The difficulty and distance of these missions were a huge obstacle.
"Moreover, there are only three of them..." Dean Shang looked at the column of names of those who would complete the missions.
There were only three names: Feng Yuqin, Zhao Yuanyuan, and Dong Yaxian.
Dean Shang knew that the latter two were children of the Zhao and Dong families.
After all, these two families were on good terms with Elder Kou.
Dean Shang had entrusted many matters to Elder Kou and the vice - dean.
During this period, the vice - dean was in seclusion.
So, all these matters were handled by Elder Kou.
Of course, Dean Shang had to be clear about Elder Kou's interpersonal relationships.
Among them, he knew that these two families were close to Elder Kou.
