Chapter 28: The Pride of a Genius! They can't Afford to Humiliate Her!

Many people could not withstand the luminosity of the flame and subconsciously closed both of their eyes. Only those whose cultivation levels were above Mystic Soldiers could still hold on and stare with much difficulty.

At the same time, Ye Qianli's hand finally moved!

Swoosh!

With a move of her hand, her body also leaned back slightly. The fire in her palm quickly rose, and a heavy breath of fire spread out towards the entire site with her as the center in a flash.

"In the name of your master, summon!"

Ye Qianli let out a clear shout, and her wrist pressed down in the position of a slam dunk. The flame in her palm exploded with a 'bang', causing the heaven and earth to tremble.

Immediately after—!

"Roar—"

"Roar—"

Everyone could clearly see that the sky above the Vermilion Bird Platform seemed to have cracked open! 18 streaks of cracks split abruptly, and 18 dragon-shaped flames of fury seemed to have fallen from the highest of the heavens! They shone brilliantly as they appeared.

At the next moment...!

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

In no particular order, these 18 dragon flames of fury neatly charged towards the 18 drums aggressively the instant Ye Qianli pressed her palm down.

For a moment...!

Dong!

An ultra-loud sound of drums shook the heavens as it exploded out. The powerful vibrating sound wave was like a continuous ripple of water. A tangible sound wave swept across the entire stage with the 18 drums as its center! It swept across the entire site! It even swept across the entire city!

Dong—

The aftershocks of this drumbeat continued to quake endlessly towards the Vermilion Bird Mountain on the south side of the Vermilion Bird Royal City. It jolted into the Vermilion Bird Temple on this divine mountain, startling a blood-red light to shoot into the sky.

18 drums!

Rang evenly!

Furthermore, because it was so orderly, everyone only heard a single ring.

It was also because it was too orderly that the might of this loud sound was magnified! Many onlookers at the scene couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts. They had been severely injured on the spot, bleeding from their seven orifices from the quakes.

All 18 drum surfaces of the Vermilion Bird Platform were vibrating at the same time! This was unprecedented in history!

...

How many people stood up with widened eyes...

How many people became so excited that their eyes turned red...

How many people raised their hands and clapped vigorously...

...

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The venue was soon covered by thunderous applause. However, no matter how loud the applause was, it could not cover up the sound of the drum. From that, it could be seen how strong Ye Qianli, the person who had struck the drum, was.

This wasn't just a simple sounding of the drums; this was practically a conquest! The 18 drums were singing loudly for her, singing loudly for her regal bearing of a king!

Three days ago, she said, "Am I shameless, or am I being slandered? Am I a great waste, or am I a real genius? In the Prodigy Convention three days later, I—the granddaughter of the Northern Territory King, Ye Qianli—invite you to wait and see."

Three days later, at this moment!

She used her talent and her strength to silently but shockingly say: "I'm a genius. I'm the granddaughter of the Northern Territory King, Ye Qianli. How noble I am! How proud I am! Why do I need to degrade myself?"

At this moment...

Even Ye Fengtian knew that he had wronged his daughter as he had seen the ironclad evidence and solid proof. Why? There was no reason. This was the truth.

It was laughable that his daughter had asked him back then: "Father, do you think so, too?"

At that time, he really thought so. He thought that, because this daughter of his could not stand being turned into a useless person, she was willing to lower herself to... to do those things that he was even ashamed to talk about.

Thinking back carefully, how many times had his daughter cast hopeful glances at him, hoping that he would stand on her side? Trust her! Trust her.

However, what did he do? He had destroyed his daughter's hopes time and time again.

Therefore, she left—severing her father-daughter relationship with him without hesitation—and resolutely walked out of the residence! At that time, he still thought that this evil girl was just being muddled for a moment and would return after she went out and ran up against a snag. She could only come back, too. Otherwise...?

However, right now, he knew that it was impossible. She would never come back.

From now on, in this huge Ye family, she only had one family member in her heart—her grandfather and his father. No one else.

At such a moment, Ye Fengtian finally realized that, although this daughter resembled her grandmother very much in looks, her personality was very similar to her grandfather's. She was very similar to their Ye family—proud and unyielding!

Pa, pa, pa...

At that moment, Ye Fengtian clapped as well. Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes as he clapped. He did not know why he had been so blinded that he lost such a good daughter. He only knew that, as a member of the Ye family, she was that outstanding! And that dazzling.

I'm sorry.

Father was wrong.

Ye Fengtian was filled with intense regret. It was a pity that he himself knew it was too late...

As a father, he had abandoned his daughter when his daughter needed support, understanding, and trust the most. Now that she was the center of attention, how could he have the face to ask for her forgiveness and enjoy her honor?

"Ye Qianli, I'm the headteacher of the Gifted Academy, Feng Lihuan. I'm also the one who issued that genius enrollment token on you. I want to take you in as my student personally. Are you willing?"

At this moment, while the earth-shattering applause continued to erupt, a loud and clear voice rang out. This voice was like a ceasefire, instantly extinguishing the applause in the entire place.

"Gifted Academy?"

"Is that the number-one academy in our Four Divisions Continent that only accepts talent cultivators?" Many people were a bit confused when they heard about the 'Gifted Academy' because this institution was too prestigious and mysterious.

Most importantly, in the previous years of their Vermilion Bird Dynasty's Prodigy Convention, there had never been a situation where a teacher from the Gifted Academy specially came to recruit students.

Therefore, even Ye Qianli looked at Feng Lihuan somewhat suspiciously. Could this be a swindler? However, no one would dare to steal the name of the Gifted Academy, right?

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the crown prince of your dynasty, Rong Mo. He is also a student of our academy. I was also the one who asked him to give you that enrollment token." Facing Ye Qianli's suspicious gaze, Feng Li Huan wasn't angry at all and even explained in a good temper.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qianli indeed looked at Rong Mo suspiciously and thought. Wasn't he the one who gave me this enrollment token? How did it become this teacher who asked him to give it to me?

"Yes." Seeing Ye Qianli looking over, Rong Mo did not feel guilty at all and nodded.

"!" Ye Qianli's eyes turned sharp instantly, and she almost blurted out angrily: "Then, why did you say that the other day? That this is my betrothal gift!"

Shameless!

How shameless!

...

"See, with your dynasty's crown prince as my witness, you should believe me now. I wonder, what do you think about what I just said?" Feng Lihuan, who didn't know the inside story, said happily. He even thought that Rong Mo had been cooperative enough. Not bad, not bad.

However, he did not know that it was precisely because of Rong Mo's cooperation that Ye Qianli, who was suspicious of Rong Mo's character, became even more suspicious of this Gifted Academy's teacher.

"It's not impossible to get her to agree, but there's a prerequisite. You have to accept her younger female cousin as your student as well. Otherwise, it's out of the question." However, just when Ye Qianli stayed silent, a voice that no one could have imagined uttered ridiculously.

"Ye Qianli pays her respects to Teacher Feng." Ye Qianli did not need to look to know that this retard who had spoken was Su Qin. As a result, she simply bowed and acknowledged him as her master.
