The members of the Qin family stared at the dean with bitter looks, and finally the dean felt he had asked the wrong question. He quickly changed the topic: “Why did you kill Qin Qianqian?”
Huang Quan looked at the dean and fell into silence.
Should she explain or not?
Explaining would be troublesome, but her brother had to attend classes in the academy.
Well, she decided to explain.
“Qin Qianqian initiated the conflict with me,” Huang Quan sighed. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.’ She has been bullying me all along, and today, she pushed me into the Mingyue Lake, nearly causing me to drown.”
“After being saved by my brother, I kept thinking that if I didn’t argue with Qin Qianqian, she would keep bullying me.”
“If I stayed silent, her bullying would only get worse.”
“Nearly dying made me decide not to endure it any longer,” Huang Quan continued, lowering her gaze to look at Qin San. She smiled and said, “I thought, if I’m going to be bullied regardless, why not resolve it at its root?”
“Qin San, do you know what it means to resolve something at its root?”
Qin San’s eyes were red with anger, but because he was pinned down by Huang Quan and had his life in her hands, he couldn’t utter a word. He could only glare at Huang Quan in frustration.
“Seeing your current state, it seems you don’t understand,” Huang Quan smiled and said, “Let me explain.”
“The meaning of resolving something at its root is that I don’t mind uprooting the entire Qin family, making the Qin family disappear forever.”
A gasp filled the air, and the onlookers looked at Huang Quan as if she were insane.
Has she gone mad? Is she boasting so wildly?
Even the expressions of the teachers were hard to fathom. While Huang Quan had indeed managed to seriously injure Qin San, Qin’s family head held the position of the Prime Minister in the Tianhuang Empire. His family had close ties to the royal family, relations with other ministers, and even women from their family in the imperial palace as consorts. Uprooting the entire Qin family?
Blowing such a grand horn without fear of a backfire!
Everyone thought Huang Quan was exaggerating, even Nangong Mian found it impossible. However, Ye Qin seemed to believe what Huang Quan had said.
Even though Huang Quan didn’t currently possess that ability, he believed she would have it in the future. Moreover, with Ye Qin by her side, she didn’t need to think about the future. All she had to do was ask, and he was willing to help her completely uproot the Qin family and make them disappear from then on.
Qin San was so enraged by Huang Quan’s words that he once again spat out blood.
Upon seeing this, the dean’s eyelids twitched. He asked, “Nangong girl, is what you just said true?”
Huang Quan looked at the dean and replied, “It’s true. Qin Qianqian enjoys bullying me, and most of the students in the academy know about it. You can verify it with one question, Dean.”
The dean, after hearing her words, turned to the teachers beside him and said, “Go and ask the students outside the academy gate.”
The teachers were somewhat astonished. Why did they always get involved in such matters?
Regarding Qin Qianqian’s bullying of Huang Quan, not to mention that most students knew about it, they all knew it was true. But could they speak about it openly?
Seeing that no one was moving, the dean’s expression turned cold, and he sternly said, “Why are you still standing here?”
The teachers, with a sigh of resignation, went outside to question the students.
As the dean watched the teachers leave, he cast a sidelong glance at Ye Qin. He noticed that although Ye Qin appeared calm, his gaze was fixed on Huang Quan. The dean had a better understanding of the situation.
Most likely, this ancestor was here for Huang Quan’s sake.
This matter needed to be handled properly, and if they treated Huang Quan unfairly, the academy would be the one truly in trouble.
The teachers were cautious because the Qin family was a prominent clan in the Tianhuang Empire. All these teachers were from the Tianhuang Empire and had to consider their actions in the capital. However, the dean didn’t fear the Qin family.
If the Qin family wasn’t satisfied with the academy, they could only resort to veiled threats but wouldn’t dare to actually harm the academy.
After all
The backing of the Academy of the Tianhuang Empire was the Imperial Academy of the Tianqi Empire, and when compared to the Qin family, there was no competition.
