The Qi Cultivation Emperor Who Snatches Brides, do you think you're funny?

Those around Jiang Yang looked at him and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Jiang Yang was pampered in the Jiang family since childhood, but little did he know that behind all this glory was the cruel means his mother used to obtain it.

At this moment, his dignity has been trampled, his faith destroyed, and his former pride vanished, which is truly lamentable.

The dean felt a mix of emotions as he watched this scene.

He knew all too well the suffering Jiang Yu had endured, and that Wang Li's actions were truly unforgivable.

However, Jiang Yang is, after all, a disciple whom the academy is focusing on cultivating, and he has extremely high talent. If he is dealt with by Jiang Yu in this way, it would be a great loss to the academy.

The dean stepped forward, looked at Jiang Yu, and said solemnly, “Jiang Yu, Wang Li’s behavior is outrageous, and she deserves what she got. But Jiang Yang has been kept in the dark all along; he was unaware of this matter. Moreover, Jiang Yang has been diligent and hardworking at the academy for many years and has made certain contributions to the academy. I hope you can let Jiang Yang off this time for the sake of the academy.”

Hearing the dean plead for Jiang Yang, a glimmer of hope welled up in Wang Li's heart. At this moment, she was filled with guilt and worry for her son, and as long as Jiang Yang was safe and sound, she didn't care what happened to herself.

She looked up at Jiang Yu with teary eyes, her voice trembling as she said, "Jiang Yu, please, for the sake of the dean, spare Yang'er. I'm willing to accept any punishment; I deserve it, but Yang'er is innocent."

People around started whispering among themselves.

One of the powerful figures who came to attend the event said, "This matter is indeed thorny. Wang Li's behavior is despicable, but Jiang Yang has always had a good reputation in the cultivation world. It seems a pity that he has been implicated like this."

Another person chimed in, "Yes, Jiang Yang is innocent after all. He's also a victim, kept in the dark for so many years. If Jiang Yu could let him off the hook for the sake of the dean, it would be a way to give everyone a way out."

The students of Linlang Academy also shared their opinions.

A young disciple said, "Senior Brother Jiang Yang is usually very kind to us. He probably doesn't know what his mother did. It's such a pity to give up on him like this."

“But Senior Brother Jiang Yu is too pitiful. He and his mother have suffered so much. It doesn’t seem right to let Jiang Yang off so easily,” another disciple replied.

Murong Xue watched this scene and thought to herself, "Jiang Yu's situation is indeed pitiful, but if Jiang Yang is crippled because of this, it will be a great loss to the academy. I hope Jiang Yu can make the right choice for the sake of the dean."

Lu Shaoyou frowned slightly and said, "This matter needs to be handled carefully. If Jiang Yu does not agree, it may cause a rift with the academy."

……

Wang Li had completely lost her former arrogance and ruthlessness. Like a helpless madwoman, she knelt on the ground and frantically kowtowed to Jiang Yu.

Each blow was devastating, kicking up dust from the ground. Her forehead quickly became red and swollen, and blood slowly trickled down her cheeks. Yet, she seemed oblivious to the pain, repeatedly muttering, "Jiang Yu, please, spare Yang'er! You two are brothers! It's my fault as his mother, I deserve to die. If you want to kill or torture him, come at me, don't make things difficult for Yang'er..."

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she had to keep Jiang Yang alive no matter what.

In her eyes, Jiang Yang was everything to her, her only hope in this world.

As long as Jiang Yang can safely get through this ordeal, there are endless possibilities for the future.

She fantasized that one day Jiang Yang would become a saint, standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, and then avenge her. This thought sustained her, causing her to abandon all dignity and desperately beg Jiang Yu.

Dean Linlang felt a pang of pity for Wang Li when he saw her like this, but he knew even more clearly that he had to keep Jiang Yu calm and give Jiang Yang a chance to survive.

He spoke again, his tone sincere yet serious: "Jiang Yu, Jiang Yang is exceptionally talented and has always brought glory to the academy. If he were to perish now, it would be a tremendous loss to the academy and the entire cultivation world. Moreover, he was truly unaware of Wang Li's evil deeds and had been kept in the dark all along. I hope you can prioritize the greater good and give Jiang Yang a chance to reform himself."

The students of the academy echoed the dean's words.

“Senior Brother Jiang Yu, Senior Brother Jiang Yang has always taken good care of us. He is a good person, but he was implicated by his mother.”

"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang Yu, you are a magnanimous person, please spare Senior Brother Jiang Yang this time. He will definitely repay your kindness in sparing his life in the future."

The onlookers couldn't help but join the discussion. "Jiang Yang is really pitiful. He was kept in the dark by his mother the whole time, and the glory he enjoyed suddenly turned into sin. Anyone would find it unbearable."

"If Jiang Yu can let Jiang Yang go, that would truly be repaying evil with kindness, and it would be a good story if word got out. His prestige in the cultivation world would surely increase greatly in the future."

As Jiang Yang listened to the discussions around him, he outwardly appeared guilty and grateful, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

He felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, and this sense of humiliation followed him everywhere.

He never imagined that his pride was built on such a shameful truth. What he found even more unbearable was that he now had to rely on his mother's pleas and others' entreaties in front of everyone to save his life.

His hatred for Jiang Yu grew wildly like weeds.

In his view, Jiang Yu should never have appeared. So many years have passed, and Jiang Yu should have died quietly in some unknown corner, just as he imagined.

But now Jiang Yu is not only alive, but also appears in front of him with such a powerful attitude, turning his life upside down.

"Why? Why is he still standing here, revealing the truth that I've been kept in the dark about, making me an object of everyone's sympathy?" Jiang Yang roared inwardly.

He felt that Jiang Yu was doing this on purpose, that he was trying to take away everything he had, including his status in the academy and his image in the eyes of others.

But he had to suppress this hatred, as he was no match for Jiang Yu at the moment.

He secretly vowed that as long as he could survive this ordeal, he would make Jiang Yu pay the price. He would endure and work hard to improve his strength. One day, he would repay Jiang Yu for the humiliation he had suffered today tenfold.

All of this must begin with getting out of his current predicament. He must pretend to be extremely grateful to gain Jiang Yu's trust and wait for the right opportunity.

Jiang Yang suppressed the hatred and murderous intent in his heart.

He sat on the ground, head bowed, looking sorrowful.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yu.

From a high vantage point in the restaurant, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Interesting. Jiang Yu isn't just trying to kill, he's trying to destroy their spirit!"

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; that's truly terrifying.

Li Xuan smiled inwardly.

Tianyi and Lao Huang also noticed it, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

Li Xuan took a sip of tea. Soon, the person he was waiting for would arrive.

In front of Linlang Academy, Jiang Yu smiled as he watched Wang Li kneel down and kowtow frantically.

He looked at Jiang Yang and chuckled, "Jiang Yang, are you just going to watch your mother kowtow to me like this?"

Jiang Yang suddenly raised his eyes, which were bloodshot. "Jiang Yu, what else do you want to do?!"

Jiang Yu's smile widened. "What are you doing? Don't you know what you're doing? If I remember correctly, only you knew that I awakened the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, right? How did your mother find out? Did you tell her?"

"Also, you knew everything when my exquisite heart was transplanted, right? After all, you've been so smart since you were little, and you planned all of this."
