nAnother feature of the enhancement rune was that it could attack the enhanced when they intended to harm the enhancer.

nSo, the enhancement rune was also known as Cutter of the Ungrateful.

nWhen she read her master’s books, Gu Bailu had felt that this rune was most useful, and had learned it the best.

nYin Neng’s ice pierced her body, but Yin Neng suddenly stiffened.

nCracks spread throughout his bones, like a land in drought.

n“What did you do?”

nGu Bailu’s face was pale. It was too painful for her to speak now.

nShe was gradually losing consciousness, too.

nShe had truly tried her best.

nIf only she were a little bit stronger.

n“Gu Bailu!”

nAt that moment, a pink shadow reached her in a swirl of wind and lifted her from the ground. “Hang in there.”

nGu Yunjing’s face was full of coldness. His charming eyes were gloomier than ever.

nHe took out a Snow Goddess Fruit and gave it to Gu Bailu. When he saw the wounds on her body, his expression turned unsightly.

n“Who allowed you to hurt her?” Gu Yunjing stood up, holding Gu Bailu in his arms, and walked toward the disciples behind them.

nThe elders behind him didn’t dare say anything and could only stand in respect.

nThe disciples on the ground were already trembling in fear.

nShao Di was angry.

n“Answer me, who allowed you to hurt her?” Gu Yunjing asked again with palpable killing intent.

n“It was… It was Elder Qian…” The less bold ones hurried to confess.

nThey certainly couldn’t afford to shoulder the blame right now.

n“Did no one tell you that I was the one who personally invited her?” Gu Yunjing asked.

nEverybody knelt down. “Please punish us.”

nThey all knew that Shao Di had personally invited a loser to their academy, but none of them were happy about that.

nThey were all geniuses from renowned backgrounds. It wasn’t easy for them to come to Cloud Mirror Academy.

nNow, they were going to study together with a piece of trash?

nAll they wanted was to get rid of the garbage.

nThey didn’t expect Shao Di to defend Gu Bailu.

n“Do you remember the first rule of the academy?”

nThe disciples’ faces changed color. The first rule of the academy was that they mustn’t harm their classmates, or they would be banished.

nDid Shao Di intend to kick all of them out?

n“Please forgive us, sir. We only did it because Elder Qian stated that she was a criminal.”

nThe disciples begged for mercy.

nIt wasn’t a lie. If Elder Qian hadn’t given the order, they would never have attacked Gu Bailu openly, at least not in the square where fighting was forbidden.

nIf they wanted to do anything, they would’ve killed her in secret.

n“Bai Ling, find out who Qian Wangsheng met today.”

nGu Yunjing knew that many people in Cloud Mirror Academy were displeased with the exception he was making, and that Gu Bailu would face much hostility.

nHowever, he didn’t expect them to be so bold as to attack her without a care.

nHad his authority declined in Cloud Mirror Academy because of his lack of management all these years?

nGu Yunjing lowered his head, only to discover Gu Bailu staring at him. Her previously healthy face was completely pale.
