The biggest problem was that they didn't know what to say to her when faced with Yun Qingyan's arrogant expression.
After calling her an ugly woman and a good-for-nothing, she accepted all the insults and didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed about it. What were they going to do about such a shameless person?
There was nothing they could do.
But the person standing next to Baili Qingxue wasn't going to let them off so easily.
She scanned all of them and there was intense disdain and mocking in those black eyes of hers. It was as if they were just unknown piles of crap by the roadside or a patch of weeds
Who could stand being looked at like that by a useless and ugly bum?
Of course, they couldn't stand it.
"Yun Qingyan, what the hell are you looking at?!" A bulky muscular and authoritative-looking man stood out with a large ax in hand. He swung the large ax violently enough to cause a gust of wind before it finally hit the ground with a loud bam. A hole immediately appeared on the tiled floor and dust flew everywhere.
"Oh no… it's Qin Li. This guy is famous for being violent and he has an obsession with fighting."
A few tiny gasps were going around.
Lin Wanyue was secretly thrilled to hear this.
Qin Li was famous for having bad temperament and didn't care about the consequences the moment he started fighting. He wouldn't care about whether Yun Qingyan was backed by the best fighter in all of the Beian Nation, Marquis Yun.
He wasn't as easy to deal with as Su Ling. If Yun Qingyan offended him, even if she didn't die, she'd be crippled.
She didn't expect Yun Qingyan to be stupid enough to court death so easily. But at least that saved herself the effort.
Qin Li wasn't as famous in Qingxuan Academy as Baili Qingxue was, but he was considered a legendary character. He exuded a strong murderous aura about him because he was often involved in fights so that in itself was already rather frightening. When his eyes stared straight at you, one would feel like a wild beast was eyeing you. There were several people at the same level as him who lost in a fight with him purely because of the presence he commanded.
But even after he stared at Yun Qingyan, her expression didn't change at all.
That little face covered with green spots was still smiling faintly and flippantly like before. It was so flippant that everyone felt like boxing her right now.
"I'm looking at a bunch of toads who keep dreaming of being able to fly." Her gleeful female voice filled the air, making the expressions of most of the people within the plaza fall immediately.
She was mocking them en masse, creating a feud with every single one of them.
They couldn't help but wonder if Yun Qingyan was taking revenge on them after they always said that she was a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.
"Yun Qingyan, who are you insulting? Don't you know who the real toad is? There's nothing good about you, you're such a useless punching bag, you're ridiculously ugly, and you dare to covet a genius like Baili Qingxue! You're a toad lusting after a swan's flesh! You're shameless!" A young lady in orange stood out and started yelling angrily. Her face turned red for a moment when she talked about Baili Qingxue.
Yun Qingyan uninhibitedly gave a wolf whistle at this. Oh my, this lady has got to be one of Baili Qingxue's big-time fans.
She really couldn't understand what was so good about this blinded douchebag next to her.
Yun Qingyan dusted off the dust that was created when Qin Li stepped forward and slammed his ax, and spoke very calmly and slowly, "To truly gain enlightenment on your path to cultivating martial arts, you need to make sure your heart and mind are strong and not be distracted or confused by external appearances. This world is so big and there are plenty of weird and strange-looking things out there. If just my face alone can scare you, then how can you still want to become top Elementalists when your hearts can't endure much? Do you want to reach the peak of martial arts like this? Aren't all of you just toads who wish to fly?"
The clear female voice sounded leisurely and unbothered, but it brought about a different effect among the listeners.
There were some whose faces were red and wanted to retort, but there was also a small group of them who hung their heads and started to think about these words carefully.
The road of cultivation was a tough one indeed, and if you wanted to become an excellent Elementalist you would have to go through many difficulties and hardships, which included facing all sorts of vile and ferocious Magical Beasts.
Some Magical Beasts looked even more terrifying and scary than Yun Qingyan.
A cultivator needed to have a steady heart and mind, and couldn't allow external appearances to affect them so easily. Yun Qingyan was a useless bum but she was actually able to see more deeply than them?
Qin Li was ready to fight earlier, but now he lowered his head and there was a flash in his large eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head with a start and clasped his hands together politely towards Yun Qingyan. "Yun Qingyan, I, Qin Li, owe you a favor." With that, he hurriedly disappeared, leaving behind a group of completely confused people.
What just happened? Did they miss something? Could someone explain it to them?
