"Are you joking?" Zhai Gaoyang said. "None of us in our academy knows Feng Yuqin. Why would we go looking for trouble with her?"
"Then Feng Yuqin has no grudges against them either. Why would she go looking for trouble for herself?" Elder Kou said calmly.
The other elders chimed in. "That's right. Feng Yuqin is just a new student. She doesn't know them. There's no way she would go looking for trouble with them. So the various charges you've placed on Feng Yuqin before are also unfounded."
The other elders of the Mountain and Sea Academy also hoped to keep a genius like Feng Yuqin, so they also argued their case.
"So what do you want?" The smug smile on Zhai Gaoyang's face turned into a cold sneer. "Are you not going to hand her over?"
"If it's Feng Yuqin's problem, we can hand her over." Elder Kou's words made Zhai Gaoyang's eyes light up.
However, Elder Kou continued. "There are many forces gathered here now. To whom should we hand Feng Yuqin over?"
"Of course, it should be to our Illusionary Sky Academy." Zhai Gaoyang said confidently.
"What if the other forces come looking for trouble again after we hand her over to you?" Elder Kou began to set a trap for them as Feng Yuqin had said.
"So what do you want?" Zhai Gaoyang frowned.
"All those who are looking for trouble with Feng Yuqin should send a representative to sign and seal an agreement." Elder Kou said. "If you're not brave enough, you're not worthy of saying you're going to look for trouble with Feng Yuqin."
Zhai Gaoyang didn't expect Elder Kou to make such a proposal.
Many people were still on the periphery.
At the head were the people from their Illusionary Sky Academy.
"What? Are you too scared? Or are you just unwilling?" Elder Kou's aura changed, and his voice turned cold. "If you want to look for trouble with the students in our academy, you must also sign and seal an agreement. Otherwise, if just anyone comes up and bullies our students and asks us to hand them over, how can our academy recruit students in the future?"
With things said to this extent, Zhai Gaoyang couldn't hold out any longer.
After all, he couldn't represent all the forces.
The elders who had come this time were all of a lower status than him, which was why he had come personally to talk to Elder Kou.
But when it came to other issues, he couldn't make decisions on behalf of the other forces.
"Fine, I'll inform them right away." Zhai Gaoyang immediately took out his communication jade and contacted those outside.
The major forces that received the news immediately came over.
Seeing these people, Elder Kou walked directly to his main seat and sat down.
This was a square outside the Mountain and Sea Academy.
But sometimes, things were also discussed here.
So there were special seats.
When the others saw this, although they were unhappy with Elder Kou's actions, they were on the other's territory, so they didn't care too much.
After all, they had been told before they came that they must bring Feng Yuqin back.
"Elder Kou, where's Feng Yuqin?" The one who asked was from the Luo family, the elder of the family of Luo Yanbin, who had been dealt with by Feng Yuqin before.
The elder of the Luo family wanted to take a share of the pie.
After all, getting Feng Yuqin, a genius, and hearing that she had a lot of treasures in her hands.
If they could get a part of it in the end, it would be quite good.
"I'm here..." Feng Yuqin finally appeared.
"Girl." When Elder Kou saw Feng Yuqin appear, he immediately stood up. "Come and sit next to me quickly."
Liu Yu was sitting on Elder Kou's left, and the seat on the right was still empty.
Feng Yuqin wasn't polite and walked over to sit on the right.
The people from the major forces were a bit stunned by Elder Kou's actions.
Wasn't it said that they were going to hand Feng Yuqin over?
Why was he being so nice to Feng Yuqin?
This didn't look like they were going to hand her over at all.
"Feng Yuqin, you're so vicious at such a young age. You attacked the students in our academy. You must come with us today." Zhai Gaoyang spoke first, forcibly placing those unfounded charges on Feng Yuqin.
A mocking smile curled up on Feng Yuqin's lips as she sneered. "Elder Zhai, do you have any evidence to prove that I attacked the students in your academy?"
"The students in our academy have all come back and said that you even poisoned them." Zhai Gaoyang said righteously, as if he was the one who had been poisoned.
"Just because they said so, you believe it?" Feng Yuqin laughed. "Or do you just believe whatever others say? Is the head on your neck just for show?"
These words made everyone else angry.
"Feng Yuqin, you're just too arrogant." The elder of the Luo family said with a gloomy face, then looked at Elder Kou. "Is this the quality of the students in your academy? Insulting us like this. Do you think we, the Luo family, will let this go?"
"If she's wrong, our academy will compensate as it should." Elder Kou said calmly. "But if she's right... Isn't that just stating the truth? What? Are you not allowing others to tell the truth?"
"Elder Kou, did you call the others here just to let this girl argue with us?" Zhai Gaoyang clearly didn't have that much patience. "If you don't have any other solutions, then we're taking Feng Yuqin away."
Hearing this, the other forces became interested.
After all, they all knew that Feng Yuqin had treasures in her hands.
In the eyes of these people, Feng Yuqin was just a walking treasure trove.
Although they weren't sure exactly how many treasures Feng Yuqin had on her.
But according to what Luo Yanbin and his people said, Feng Yuqin definitely had a lot of treasures.
They didn't doubt whether what Luo Yanbin said was true or false.
Even if it was false, they would be happy to do it if they could make the Mountain and Sea Academy lose a genius.
"I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences later." After Elder Kou said this, he called over a teacher from the academy. "Bring the contract over."
When the contract appeared, Elder Kou pointed at it and said. "I just said that if Feng Yuqin is really as vicious as you say and wrongly accuses others, then you can take her away. But if we prove that it's not Feng Yuqin but your people who did it, then you must give me an explanation today."
"What kind of explanation do you want?" Zhai Gaoyang asked.
"Didn't you ask me to hand someone over?" Elder Kou said calmly. "Those who came to our academy today to ask for someone will stay in our academy to do odd jobs."
"That's too much." The elder of the Luo family stood up first to protest. "We're elders of high status. Do you really think we'll come to your academy to do odd jobs? What on earth are you thinking?"
"What do you think I'm thinking?" Elder Kou sneered. "I'm just telling you not to wrongly accuse others casually. Those who wrong others will pay the price."

I made a mistake in the previous chapter. It should be the Mountain and Sea Academy instead of the Lingxiao Academy.
I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well today. I have an eye inflammation, and I can't see the computer screen clearly. My mind is all muddled.
