Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife Chapter 1231-1232 God King High Realm

"What Lady Yi Lian stated is correct!" Lu Zhen frowned, his tone turning cold as he added, "Elder Zhou Min, you are truly being unjust! This is unfair to the other disciples!"

"Justice?"

Zhou Min let out a sneer and retorted, "Since I am the judge, my word is justice! Furthermore, I shall establish a new rule from this moment on. Disciples of the academy are forbidden from crippling and killing one another. Battles must cease once a victor is determined. Failure to comply will result in expulsion from the academy!"

Zhou Min held significant influence amongst the academy elders, allowing her the liberty to casually decree academy rules. This enabled her to utter those words…

Lu Zhen's expression contorted with anger, and he declared, "The individual authorized to make such decisions within the academy is the Lord Dean, not you!"

Zhou Min snickered again and countered, "The Dean pays no mind to such trivial matters. Everything merely requires reporting to Elder Rong! But do you truly believe Elder Rong would disapprove of this new rule? The academy exists for disciples to learn, not to engage in mutual slaughter and cripplings! I possess the authority to expel this girl from the academy for casually killing and harming other disciples! As for her companions, given their close association with her, they are likely of similar character. Our God Academy has no need for such individuals!"

Zhou Min cast a grim look at the surrounding disciples as she concluded.

"Hehe!" Yi Lian chuckled softly. "Xiao Yu was the one who attempted to kill and harm us first. If you intend to expel us from the academy, then Xiao Yu certainly doesn't qualify to remain here!"

Zhou Min cast a sweeping glance at Yi Lian before stating coldly, "What proof do you possess to substantiate your claim that Xiao Yu intended to kill you all? Why am I unaware of this? My disciple possesses a benevolent nature; she is not malicious like yourselves! Therefore, she cannot be placed on the same level as you in this matter…"

"That is precisely right!"

A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air from behind the assembled crowd…

"They indeed cannot be placed on the same level, particularly since your disciple is so utterly incomparable!"

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up with a surge of excitement upon hearing that familiar voice…

'The Dean has arrived. This is excellent. I am eager to witness how Zhou Min continues her arrogant display…'

"And just who might you be?"

Zhou Min's expression darkened as her gaze landed on Lin Ruo Yu, who was calmly approaching them. She appraised Lin Ruo Yu from head to toe with a disdainful smirk…

"I am Mu Ru Yue's maternal aunt."

Lin Ruo Yu paused her steps as she positioned herself beside Mu Ru Yue. Her sharp gaze fixed upon Zhou Min, and she declared in a chilling tone, "You wish to expel my niece from the academy? I fear you lack the requisite authority."

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Min erupted into laughter, retorting, "It is not for a mere village woman to decide whether I possess the authority! Allow me to offer you some advice to prevent you from incurring unnecessary trouble. Our God Academy is an institution of immense prestige; no one can oppose its decisions…"

Lu Zhen observed Zhou Min as if she were a complete simpleton…

'Has this woman lost her mind?

'Is she attempting to leverage the God Academy’s name against the Lord Dean himself, even implying that the Lord Dean's subordinates possess influence the Dean cannot counter?

'If her mind is not addled, then what else could it be?'

"Is that so?" Lin Ruo Yu smiled, her expression laced with contempt as she continued, "I am exceedingly curious to see what you can do to me! Even if my niece were to cause chaos within the academy, the Elder Rong you mentioned would hesitate to take action against her. And now, you presume to expel her? Does this God Academy belong to you?"

The onlookers, who had been silently judging Zhou Min’s actions, collectively gasped at Lin Ruo Yu's audacious declaration…

Chapter 1232 - God King High Realm Part 15

What manner of status did this woman possess to act with such reckless abandon, seemingly disregarding Elder Rong’s authority entirely?

Even the most recent initiates were well aware of Elder Rong’s esteemed position within the academy.

At present, with the Dean abstaining from academy affairs, Elder Rong naturally assumed the role of the academy’s supreme governor. Even Elder Zhou Min was expected to show deference to Elder Rong. Yet, here was Lin Ruo Yu claiming Elder Rong would not dare expel her niece.

Who did she perceive herself to be, exhibiting such unbridled arrogance?!

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Min burst into laughter, though an irrepressible rage simmered beneath its surface. She continued, "Excellent! Truly excellent! I shall now demonstrate to you whether I, Zhou Min, possess the authority to have her expelled."

"Guards!" Zhou Min’s gaze turned grim as she coldly commanded, "By my decree as an elder, Mu Ru Yue, Yi Lian, Li Sha, and Qian Ye have flagrantly violated the academy's regulations. Consequently, they are hereby expelled. They shall be forbidden from ever setting foot within this academy's grounds again!"

Lin Ruo Yu's expression gradually darkened. Just as she was about to speak, a voice called out from below the stage...

"Elder Zhou Min, I have something to say."

Huang Yu shot a glare at Mu Ru Yue, who had emerged from the crowd, and declared, "Mu Ru Yue's servant, Fire Phoenix, is known for seducing men! Mu Ru Yue must have taught her this behavior. This serves as proof that she, too, enjoys seducing men. A woman like her is indeed unworthy of remaining in the academy."

Boom!

As soon as Huang Yu finished speaking, a chilling, sinister power enveloped her, causing her to tremble with cold.

Turning her head in shock, a handsome and captivating face briefly entered her sight...

"It's him!"

Huang Yu's expression shifted dramatically. "Isn't this the man who was with Mu Ru Yue on God Mountain? Why has he appeared at God Academy?"

Under the crowd's curious gazes, the man slowly approached Mu Ru Yue.

A gentle smile immediately graced his handsome features. His purple eyes shone like warm sunlight upon Mu Ru Yue...

"I've only been gone for a short while. Why has such a commotion erupted?"

Ye Wu Chen halted his steps upon reaching Mu Ru Yue. With an enchanting smile, he inquired, "Mu Er, do you require me to eliminate her?"

He then turned his head to face Huang Yu.

At that moment, all traces of a smile vanished from his face, replaced by a gloomy and terrifying aura. Killing intent radiated from his body without any restraint...

Under his overwhelming presence, Huang Yu found it difficult to breathe, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"This Elder has just established a new rule: disciples are forbidden from killing or crippling each other within the academy. Yet, you dare to speak of killing someone in front of me! You clearly show no respect for me as an elder. Therefore, you shall be expelled along with them! Someone, escort them out of the academy, and by the way, throw that village woman out as well!"

Lin Ruo Yu sighed in helplessness, observing Zhou Min's arrogant demeanor.

She had hoped to keep her identity hidden to avoid trouble. However, it now seemed she had no choice but to reveal it...

"Zhou Min, do you truly believe you hold absolute power? Let Elder Rong personally inform you whether you possess the authority to alter the academy's rules at your whim!"

Lin Ruo Yu sneered, casting a sharp glance at Zhou Min.

Just as Zhou Min prepared to retort mockingly, a familiar figure caught her eye...

"Elder Rong? Why has he arrived?" Zhou Min asked in shock, taken aback.

However, Elder Rong paid her no mind and proceeded directly towards Lin Ruo Yu.

"Lord Dean, why have you summoned me?"
