The two Skyspan Academy Students had only just broken through, while Ye Zichen used sixth-stage sky supreme experts.

It was immediately obvious which side was stronger.

Ye Zichen didnt even give them time to fight back. The yao experts bound them hand and foot almost immediately.

After capturing them, the yao returned to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.

People ought to learn how to size up a situation. Dont you know that? Ye Zichen rolled his eyes at them, and as he finished gathering up his treasures, he continued, Didnt you see that I tied them all up and tossed them in a corner? Did you really think that you could get revenge with just the two of you? Dont you two have brains?

What a despicable man, said the girl. She struggled to break through her bonds, but in the end, all she could do was glower and curse.

Are you sure you arent mistaking something? Youre saying that Im the despicable one? After he finished with his treasures, he walked up to the girl, then grabbed her by the jaw. You think that, compared to you, Im despicable?

How could you not be? She glared viciously, straightening her neck to look right at him. You stole someone elses store, and now youre stealing their treasures. You even stuffed socks in their mouths to trample on their dignity. You cant really think youre a good person, can you? Dont think that you can do whatever you want just because youre strong! People like you are scum!

Youre insane, arent you? He shoved her face away, speechless.

He was obviously the victim here! This girl came here to stop evildoers without even verifying the situation first?

What, you refuse to admit it? When I came in, I saw you gathering up your ill-gotten gains. Are you still trying to talk your way out of this? The girl snorted in disdain.

So that was it!

This girl most likely assumed that hed tied up her comrades, then robbed them. But there was nothing wrong with that! After all, theyd stolen everything they had to begin with; none of it truly belongs to them.

Ye Zichen shrugged in disregard. If thats what she thought of him, he might as well just go ahead at take what he wanted. They were poor, but they were still sky supremes; they must have some stuff worth taking right?

Ye Zichen licked his lips and reached into her robes. Dont misunderstand! He wasnt trying to take advantage of her!

He absolutely wasnt!

What are you trying to do? When she saw his movements, she shrunk back.

What am I doing? What do you think Im doing? said Ye Zichen, deliberately putting on an ambiguous expression. His right hand kept on searching, moving up her body.

Youd best stop! If you dare touch me, my master wont let you off! The entire Skyspan Academy wont let you off! shouted the girl. Her voice was suddenly shrill, perhaps due to nervousness.

She closed her eyes and shrieked. Ye Zichen stopped in response.

Skyspan Academy?

Did this woman just say Skyspan Academy?

What did you say just now? asked Ye Zichen, his expression returning to normal.

His evildoing hands stopped before defiling her purity. The girl sighed in relief, then snorted. I said, youd best not touch me, otherwise my master and Skyspan Academy dont let you off! Im sure you know this, but Skypsan Academy was built by the Sea of Innocence. If you offend me, youll offend the academy. If you offend the acedemy, youll offend the Sea of Innocence. If you offend the Sea of Innocence, dont think of taking even another step on the Northern Divine Mountain. Even if you flee to another Divine Mountain, youll face the Sea of Innocences relentless pursuit. Even if you flee the God.

Stop!

It looked like this was a misunderstanding.

If they were from Skyspan Academy, why did they say they were with the bandits?

Were the bandits also students of Skyspan Academy?

If that were the case, Ye Zichen didnt want to study there.

Regardless, Ye Zichen was already certain that there was something wrong with that girl.

She was just a student from Skyspan Academy. Did she really think she was some sort of VIP? Going on about the Sea of Innocence and the Northern Divine Mountain. She really thought highly of herself!

Youre afraid, arent you? If youre afraid, hurry up and let me go, she shouted viciously.

I can untie you, but first, theres something I need to confirm with you. If this were just a misunderstanding, that was one thing. But if these two were Skyspan Academy students and were involved with that gang of bandits, or alternatively, if the bandits were students of Skyspan Academy, he wouldnt let them go.

Hed have to lock them up!

If you think youre all that, go ahead! Make the Northern Divine Mountain chase after me!

Ye Zichen truly didnt believe that, given his personal relationship with the Sea of Innocence, that this girl could compete with him.

Ask! snorted the girl.

Whats your name. Ye Zichen habitually started the conversation this way.

Xue Mo.

As soon as she spoke, the stalwart youth smiled sheepishly. Chen Guangfa.

Are the people I tied up over there your allies? And if so, are they also students of Skyspan Academy?

They arent, said Xue Mo.

Then are you controlling from them behind the scenes? Or are you in any sort of alliance with them?

What do you mean by that? Xue Mo frowned.

If youre unrelated, then tell me, why did you say you were on their side? Is something wrong with you?

Wasnt she just making trouble for herself? If she hadnt said she were on their side, would Ye Zichen have even attacked them?

I stand on the side of justice! she said, snorting and straightening her neck. Supporting the weak and stopping evil is the purpose of my existence. You think you can use your superior cultivation to steal other peoples store and steal their treasures? Youre walking down the wrong path. If you recognize your mistakes and repent, then let me and my junior apprentice brother go, we can let you off easy.

He understood!

Now he understood!

This girl thought he was the bandit!

Ye Zichen put his head in his hands and sighed, muttered an incantation, and undid their ropes. He pointed at the bound bandits in the corner and said, Wanting to stop the wicked and support the weak is admirable, but I hope youll learn to think first. Those people over there are the human scum youre on about. Theyre the ones who seized this tavern and stole others resources. I am just a passing victim. It just so happened that I was strong enough to deal with them; they just got unlucky. Do you understand?

He glowered at Xue Mo. When they heard his explanation, both Xue Mo and her younger apprentice brother froze.

Xue Mo felt a bit faint. She glanced meaningfully at Chen Guangfa.

The youth arched his brows then dashed up the bound pandits. He lifted their heads, and when he saw them, his expression shifted. He rushed back to Xue Mo, lowered his voice, and said, Senior Apprentice Sister, it seems we really were mistaken.
