Seeing this, Ju Jingbai also turned her gaze to Xu Ge. She had never seen Xu Ge afraid before.
Every time she was scared, the first person she thought of was Xu Ge. Xu Ge was calm but also playful and mischievous. With Xu Ge around, serious matters didn't seem to be a big deal. Her eldest and second brothers were also very powerful, but Xu Ge was different from them.
"Is this something that is scary only in this school?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.
"This school presents me with exactly the kind of relationship I fear most." Xu Ge nodded and said, "Answer me first, am I excellent?"
"Of course, very good." Ju Jingbai said frankly.
Bai Ling also nodded. Xu Ge had been the center of everyone's attention since he appeared. It seemed that no one in this school was better than Xu Ge.
"Of course. I've been exceptional since birth. I was born with a talent no one else possessed. By the age of three, I could fluently use the talismans given to me." Xu Ge saw Bai Ling's strange look and smiled. "Just assume I could read and write at the age of three."
"I started systematically studying at the age of five, and I learned much faster than all my brothers. At first, I was very happy. I even had time to challenge older cousins to give me the title of brother. By the time I was eight or nine, I had become the older brother to all my siblings." Xu Ge smiled. "But because my abilities were so outstanding, everyone focused on me. The entire clan worked together to train me, and everyone praised me. It wasn't until I became independent that the training gradually eased."
"But cultivation isn't always smooth sailing. No matter how outstanding I am, I'll always encounter setbacks, and occasionally people will be jealous and say sarcastic things behind my back." Xu Ge looked downstairs. Students were already sparsely leaving the playground. "At those times, being praised would make me feel very pressured, especially when I understood my responsibilities and realized I was carrying the expectations of my entire family. Until one day, I began to fear being praised."
Ju Jingbai stayed in this school for several days and naturally witnessed how crazy the students were.
When she thought about the fact that Xu Ge had also experienced such crazy praise in real life, she felt uncomfortable all over. She could not accept this kind of life for a day.
“Boss, you…”
Ju Jingbai thought about it but couldn't say anything to comfort her. After all, this pressure was put on him by the entire clan, and she couldn't say anything nonsense about abandoning her responsibilities.
Xu Ge gave Ju Jingbai a soothing look.
"Then you're scared every day?" Bai Ling asked in shock. "That's impossible, right?"
"Of course not." Xu Ge shook his head. "I never stop moving forward because of a momentary fear. After a long time, I found that everything was not a big deal. Besides, I also found a suitable solution for myself. There is something that has magical powers, don't you know?"
"What is it?" Bai Ling was very curious.
Could it be what she thought it was? Ju Jingbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't deny that it was indeed a magical thing.
Xu Ge glanced downstairs and saw that the students had already formed up in formation for that day's mobilization meeting.
Xu Ge half-knelt down, put his hand on Bai Ling's shoulder, gently grasped it, and said with a smile: "RMB, as long as you have money, you can solve most of the troubles in life. You haven't experienced it yet, right? When you experience the benefits of having money, you will know. Now I will only accept compliments calmly because I am indeed good enough. When I am not so good in the future, I can use money to build a better one, and the family will not have to worry about having no successors. After all, money is easy to make."
Sure enough, Ju Jingbai couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips and said, "Xu Ge, I wanted to comfort you, but at a certain moment I suddenly felt that I was quite pitiful."
"Anyway, money is easy to make??? Listen, is this what people say?" The live broadcast messages of the Metaphysics Competition soared instantly after Xu Ge said this.
"Oh my god, this wave hit me with a combination of punches. The sadness of office workers."
"At one point, I also felt that I was quite pitiful."
"Just a minute ago, I imagined someone praising me as soon as they met me, and I honestly felt that it was really annoying because there was no privacy at all. Then I thought about it and realized that no one had ever praised me except my mom. I... I wanted to experience this fear."
“This man is so damn sweet…woooooo, big man, take me flying!!!”
Bai Ling's mouth twitched. He glanced at Xu Ge suspiciously. Could Xu Ge actually have such a personality?
"Well, you're right. Money can indeed solve a lot of problems. However, I'm still a student at this stage. I don't dislike money, but it's not my favorite thing either." Bai Ling nodded. It was indeed true. "I like food the most, and the cafeteria is also my favorite in this school."
"Yes, delicious food is also a good way to relieve fear, but the food sold in the snack street outside the school is better. I also feel that the school's order is not good, and the students don't get along well with each other. The teachers don't explain the topics well in class, and their explanations are very superficial." Xu Ge sat down next to Bai Ling and continued, "Also, the desks and chairs in the school are uncomfortable to sit on, and there are always people making noises when sleeping in the dormitory at night. This school is really full of annoying things."
"Xu Ge, since you hate this school so much, why don't you transfer?" Bai Ling asked.
"I would like to transfer, but the timing is not right. The principal won't agree to sign for me when the school needs me so much." Xu Ge said.
Ju Jingbai listened to the two people talking without interrupting them. He didn't know what the boss had discovered that made him belittle the school like that.
Downstairs, the mobilization meeting had been arranged. When the bell rang, the voice of Yan Rong's loudspeaker came out.
"Ahem, can you hear me? I'm Yan Rong from Class 3, Grade 3. Can you hear me?" Yan Rong probably used a speakerphone; his voice was still clear even on the rooftop. "I'm on stage mainly to read a letter of apology. You should all have heard that I beat up a classmate named Zhou Li in the school cafeteria. Zhou Li couldn't beat me, so he complained to the teacher, and the teacher punished me by making me read the letter of apology."
"However, I refuse to admit my mistake. Don't you think it's ridiculous to punish me alone?"
"I think this school system is too harsh on poor students like us."
"Why can good students get away with it when they do something wrong, but we have to be oppressed when we do something wrong? This is unfair. We must rise up and revolt. Now I announce that our Poor Students Alliance has emerged. I have asked Xu Ge to be the representative, so those who want to join this alliance, please come to me to sign up." When they heard Xu Ge's name, there was chaos below.
"The alliance is committed to protecting the interests of every poor student, allowing us to be happy every day, no longer living in fear and oppression."
The teachers below were all controlled by Wang Yu and Song Qimeng.
Yan Rong read aloud, and his presence was extremely strong, but even so, he did not attract the big man behind the school.
The surroundings became even quieter, with only the sounds of students talking.
"There is another thing. Bai Ling, you guys know that he is going to commit suicide soon." Yan Rong looked around and said with a smile.
"Some people may not know who Bai Ling is, but I know that after he commits suicide, our school will go back in time, and everyone will return to yesterday's test." Now, the people below were even more confused. Of course, the majority did not believe it, but that did not prevent the students from becoming less orderly.
Ju Jingbai raised his hand and pinched Bai Ling's shoulder, looking towards the playground.
I don't know when a thick white fog gathered on the playground, and the negative and oppressive atmosphere swept across the entire playground.
And now the time has just come for Bai Ling to commit suicide.
Ju Jingbai lowered his eyes and met Bai Ling's gaze. Bai Ling's gaze had changed at some point, and there was an unshakable gloom in his eyes when he looked at Ju Jingbai.
He struggled hard and instantly broke free from the pressure of Ju Jingbai and Xu Ge on his left and right, and jumped onto the rooftop.
Xu Ge quickly put the prepared rope on Bai Ling and stopped his descent.
Ju Jingbai lifted up the Vajra Shield that appeared on his body and put it on Bai Ling, bringing him back safely.
"Bai Ling, committing suicide is wrong."
Bai Ling watched helplessly as two people took out some unknown things and rescued him: "???"
The white mist on the playground became thicker and thicker, and above the white mist, black mist gradually condensed, spreading over the white mist with thick ink, like a landscape painting with too much ink, and the mist gradually spread to the rooftop.
The darkness was so dense that Ju Jingbai couldn't even see Xu Ge, who was closest to her.
Naturally, she didn't notice that Bai Ling in the Vajra Shield had disappeared at some point.
"Ahhhhhhhh, someone's dead." Ju Jingbai could hear screams on the playground.
Bai Ling finally "committed suicide", and there was no time buffer for this retrospection.
Ju Jingbai opened his eyes again and looked at the countdown to the college entrance examination on the blackboard. Sure enough, the time had returned to the sixteen-day countdown to the college entrance examination.
Ju Jingbai looked around dejectedly, and suddenly found that Wang Yu, Song Qimeng and Yan Rong had disappeared from the examination room, leaving only her and Xu Ge.
The next moment, she grabbed Bai Ling's shoulders.
