155 If apologies were useful, what would we need the King of Hell for?
"Why would you fight with others?" Lin Yan asked.
Jiang Xin finished the last bit of the spiritual tea in the cup, smacked his lips, and then answered, "They started it first. I was acting in self-defense. It can't be considered a fight."
Her serious look almost made Lin Yan laugh.
However, upon hearing this, the Xu family couple exploded: "If you hadn't provoked our Xu Yang first, would Xu Yang have taken action? Look at what you have done to my son! He is so young, and you can't tell how vicious he is!"
It was a bad review and Jiang Xin couldn't listen to it.
She covered her ears, shook her head and began to mutter: "I don't want to listen, it's just a turtle chanting sutras."
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she choked.
Jiang Xiao covered his ears like her, "I don't want to listen, you bastard."
Mrs. Xu, who had just recovered and wanted to curse back, was once again so angry that she was speechless!
These two little brats are so annoying!
Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao's actions seemed like a provocation, making the Xu couple even more furious.
If they hadn't been concerned that this was the Tianshui Sect's territory, they would have taken action long ago.
The dean wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, and said loudly: "I have learned about the situation from the students present. It was Xu Yang who wanted to sit in Jiang Xiao's position. Jiang Xiao did not agree, so he pushed Jiang Xiao away."
"Just by pushing him, can he fight back and beat my son like this?" the Xu couple asked dissatisfiedly.
The dean glared at them and said, "I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
He looked at Jiang Xin, "Jiang Xin didn't participate at that time. It was later that Xu Yang attacked Jiang Xiao. There were three of them fighting against Jiang Xiao alone. Jiang Xin was afraid that Jiang Xiao would get hurt, so she went over to join the battle."
Jiang Xin nodded repeatedly and puffed out her chest proudly: "Xinxin has protected my junior brother."
Jiang Xiao was particularly happy: "Yeah, yeah, Senior Sister is the best."
The two of them acted so respectfully, which made the Xu couple even more angry: "Don't talk nonsense. I know our Xu Yang well. He would never fight with others. You must be bullying them by taking advantage of your power."
Lin Yan smiled: "In terms of numbers, you have more people, and in terms of cultivation, your son is at the first level of Qi Refining. You also saw what happened to my junior brothers and sisters. Your son lost the fight in the end. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
There were many mortal children in the academy. Lin Yan and Zhao Shi didn't want to get involved, so they restrained their cultivation.
The Xu couple's cultivation was not as good as theirs, and they could not see through their crude disguises and thought they were ordinary mortals.
In addition to the sects of cultivating Taoism, the Tiancheng spiritual world also has some sects that specialize in practicing martial arts, which are composed of mortals without spiritual roots or Qi-refining monks who are unable to advance.
Hearing Lin Yan addressing Jiang Xin, the Xu couple thought that they belonged to these martial arts sects, and they were even more disdainful in their hearts:
"What am I reflecting on? Do you know that we are monks? My son wants that seat because I respect him. What right do you have to compete with him?"
The dean laughed out loud, finally understanding where this couple got the confidence to challenge him.
It seems that they both think that the monks in Yunming City are rare items.
Little did they know that as the base camp of the Tianshui Sect, a stone was dropped in Yunming City and hit ten people, eleven of whom were cultivators.
Lin Yan finally understood their logic, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little: "So you mean that cultivators can do whatever they want?"
Legal illiteracy is contagious and hereditary to a certain extent. It is obvious that Xu Yang's legal illiteracy was inherited from his parents.
The couple naturally asked back, "Why else would I practice cultivation?"
As they spoke, the two of them simultaneously released the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage, wanting to give Senior Brother and Sister Lin Yan a warning.
Lin Yan released the suppression, and the aura of the Jindan stage was clearly revealed. Without even mobilizing his spiritual power, he broke the pressure from the two foundation-building masters opposite him.
The Xu family couple and Xu Yang, who had already drawn Qi into his body, were all stunned in shock: "Gold... Golden Core cultivator?!"
Zhao Shi followed closely behind, also releasing the suppression in his body and emitting the aura of the Golden Core Stage.
The three members of the Xu family were all stunned: "You...how could you possibly..."
Lin Yan smiled slightly: "Although the laws of the Tiancheng Spirit Realm are perfect, there are always things that cannot be taken into account. Fortunately, evildoers will be punished by evildoers, don't you think?"
As he spoke, his voice got lower and lower, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious, as if he was a gloomy villain, scaring Xu Yang and his family of three as if they were falling into an icy cave.
The Xu couple held their son down and knelt down in front of him: "Senior, please spare our lives! We were blind and did not recognize the great man! Please forgive us!"
The Tiancheng Spirit Realm does have regulations that prohibit cultivators from killing people at will, but it is too easy for the Jindan cultivators to deal with these two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. They have many ways to kill them without anyone noticing.
At this moment, Xu Yang and his family of three regretted their decision so much that they even regretted coming to Xingyue Academy for classes.
But at this moment, Jiang Xin was still pretending to be polite and asked sinisterly, "If an apology is useful, what is the use of the King of Hell?"
The Xu couple wished they could kowtow to her on the spot until her heads bled.
But because he was too scared, his body froze after he knelt down and he couldn't move.
The dean was familiar with the laws of the Tiancheng spiritual world and knew that although the Xu couple were arrogant, they were not yet at the point of calling for war and killing.
What's more, as a teacher, he doesn't want to ruin any child at will.
"Yan'er, Zhaoshi, let them apologize and compensate you for this matter and that'll be the end of it." He came out to act as a peacemaker.
Not only is it letting the three members of the Xu family off, but it is also hoped that Senior Brother Lin Yan and his sister can be more open-minded and not get upset over such trivial matters.
Lin Yan and Zhao Shi didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin didn't take this matter to heart in the first place. If the Xu couple hadn't insisted that she and Jiang Xiao give them an explanation, Jiang Xin would have slipped out to play in the chaos.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao was also asking about his opinion, Jiang Xin agreed without thinking: "Okay."
"Sorry, we were wrong." The three members of the Xu family bowed and apologized together, their postures so neat that it seemed as if they had rehearsed it.
Then Madam Xu took out a bag of spirit stones.
The two of them are independent cultivators who were born in a remote town. There are not many cultivators in the town, which makes their cultivation seem particularly high.
If they had not learned about the relationship between Tianshui Sect and Xingyue Academy by chance, they would probably never have left the small town where they were born, let alone come to this prosperous Yunming City.
The couple plundered the town for so many years before they were able to save up this small bag of spirit stones.
Madam Xu asked distressedly, "How many spirit stones should I pay?"
The spiritual stones of the natural spiritual world are used together with gold and silver.
All things containing spiritual energy use spiritual stones as the base currency.
As for ordinary items that do not contain spiritual power, both can be traded.
The biggest loss suffered by Jiang Xin's side this time was Jiang Xiao's book that was torn in half and some bumped tables and chairs in the classroom.
Jiang Xin is a sincere person: "You can just compensate my junior brother's books and the broken desks and chairs. How much do these cost, dean?"
These things are all ordinary objects without any spiritual energy, and their total value is only a few taels of silver.
The price was so low that the dean couldn't help but look at Lin Yan's face.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he could go ahead and speak.
The dean thought about it and gave a number directly: "Then ten taels of silver."
This made the Xu family couple suspect that they had heard it wrongly: "Ten taels of silver???"
The dean nodded and winked at them, signaling them to pay the money quickly to avoid any further trouble:
"No one was seriously injured in this incident. Yan'er and the others are kind-hearted and are willing to make a big deal out of a small matter. Go back and give Xu Yang some pills to heal his injuries. Don't bully others in the future."
Madam Xu quickly took out ten taels of silver, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she took out ten ingots of gold and said, "We are wrong in this matter. The extra silver will be regarded as our donation to the repair costs of the school."
This was the school's business and had nothing to do with Jiang Xin, so she was too lazy to care.
Lin Yan and others had the same idea.
However, Lin Yan is not as easy to talk to as Jiang Xin.
"We're leaving now." The Xu couple turned around and tried to leave, but Lin Yan stopped them, "Don't worry, I'll tell you your fortune for free."
The Xu family's premonition of danger rose sharply: "No... no need."
"Yes." Lin Yan took out the tortoise shell slowly and skillfully made a divination in front of them. He figured out the result in a short while.
"Didn't you earn all your spirit stones by yourselves?" Lin Yan asked.
Mr. Xu instinctively wanted to ask in return why not, but he felt inexplicably guilty when the words came to his lips.
They were the couple who were among the few cultivators in the area. Their combat power in the foundation-building stage was at the top level, so they could naturally share the best local resources.
These voluntary donations are insignificant in front of a behemoth like the Tianshui Sect, but they are a huge sum of money for cultivators of their level, and an unimaginable number for local mortals.
Otherwise, they would not be able to afford the spiritual boat tickets to Yunming City, hire guards, and would not have the luxurious life they have now.
There seemed to be a destiny wheel flowing in Lin Yan's clear eyes.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, the Xu couple realized that Lin Yan was questioning whether they had seized the spirit stones that they did not deserve.
Lin Yan's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making them feel like they had nowhere to go.
They dare not deny it, let alone admit it.
But such silence means consent.
Lin Yan spoke slowly, his voice slightly ethereal, as if coming from the sky: "You must return the spirit stones that do not belong to you and forgive your past mistakes."
"But...we have already spent all those spirit stones." Master Xu said in a low voice.
Lin Yan smiled slightly: "Making money to repay debts is your business, I am only responsible for escorting you to the government. Foundation Establishment cultivators who embezzle will be punished with ten years at least. All stolen money will be confiscated, and fines will be calculated separately."
The Xu family couple: "!!!"
"Don't send us to the government! We...we are willing to offer all our assets!"
Jiang Xin snorted, "Who cares about your little tricks?"
Only after being promoted to the Jindan stage can one truly embark on the path to immortality. Thinking of the two Jindan cultivators here, the Xu couple did not dare to refute this.
Xu Yang paused in her tears and asked weakly, "Will those who are illiterate about the law also be arrested?"
Lin Yan nodded and kindly reminded him: "You can go in and study the law. There is a special juvenile reform center."
Xu Yang: “!!!”
The good news is that they offended the Jindan Zhenren, but the Zhenren was kind and generous and did not kill them.
Bad news, Jindan Zhenren abides by the law and can predict the past and the future. He personally wrote a letter of denunciation to send them to jail for a minimum of ten years.
