"What did Fellow Daoist Tong think about what Steward Liu just said?"
"oh?"
Jia Xitong pretended not to understand and asked, "What is Fellow Daoist Wang talking about?"
"Manager Liu has already explained that the person who framed you is among our colleagues. Fellow Daoist Tong is exceptionally intelligent and must understand this."
Wang Xiushi stated directly, bowing slightly to Jia Xitong, "The five of us have come to explain to you that this matter has nothing to do with us. As colleagues, we have no grudges against each other, and certainly no one would slander a colleague behind their back."
I hope Fellow Daoist Bucket will act with caution and prudence, lest he become like that foolish farmer who helped others only to be bitten in the process.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Sharp frowned, clenched his fists, and questioned her. His anger was tinged with a hint of guilt.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's let it go."
Jia Xitong's expression remained calm, yet there was a hint of uncertainty in it. "I hope we can all get along well and help each other in the future."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and sat down.
They didn't bring up what had just happened again.
Do you really not care?
Yeah, right!
On her very first day as a teacher, someone tried to trip her up, insulted her character, and questioned her morals. That's really going too far!
Jia Xitong had her doubts.
At first, everyone was a suspect, but Hu Changxiu's behavior showed that he was the least suspicious.
As for the other five, I had very little contact with them and couldn't say I had offended them. But I couldn't rule out the possibility that they were jealous.
But after much suspicion, Jia Xitong realized that the most likely person to report her was actually Sharp.
Regardless of how much truth or falsehood there was in the five monks' joint clarification, judging from Sharp's demeanor and actions just now...
Why was he standing next to Liu Shan?
Why did Liu Shan keep looking at him while he was talking?
Why did he remain silent when questioned, yet react so strongly when five monks came to explain?
The seed of doubt was planted, so that now, when Jia Xitong looks at him, she always feels that he has ill intentions.
But I didn't do anything to wrong him, did I?
Jia Xitong frowned slightly, though she didn't show it on her face, she was paying closer attention to him.
"Fellow Daoist Tong".
At this moment, Sharp came over himself and said, "Wang Xiushi and his group have ill intentions. Be careful and don't be fooled by them."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xia."
Jia Xitong forced a smile, then abruptly changed the subject, "Did you report me?"
Sharp was stunned by what he heard.
Two seconds later, his eyes involuntarily looked to the upper right. "You... how could you doubt me? We've known each other for so long, how could I do such a thing?"
"I hope so."
Judging from his reaction, Jia Xitong had already made up her mind.
She suppressed her smile and looked at Sharp coldly, "I hope this doesn't happen again next time, otherwise, I won't forgive the person who slandered me behind my back."
"Of course, of course."
Sharp's heart was pounding, and his expression became unnatural.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xia, do you remember that I paid your registration fee when you signed up?"
Jia Xitong brought up the matter as if it were unintentional, casually mentioning to him, "Although a mid-grade spirit stone isn't much, even close brothers should keep clear accounts, right?"
"……right."
If Jia Xitong hadn't brought it up, Sharp would have thought they didn't have to pay it back.
One mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
She was wealthy and powerful, so of course she considered it a small amount of money. But he was different. It was already difficult enough for him to come to Dingtian Academy, and now asking him to return another hundred low-grade spirit stones was almost all of his wealth.
petty and narrow-minded.
The rich are heartless.
"Fellow Daoist Xia?"
Jia Xitong smiled at him and extended her palm.
This means, "Give me my money back!"
Sharp's face darkened, and he reluctantly took out the spirit stone from his pocket.
Looking at the spirit stone, he felt a little reluctant to part with it.
"Fellow Daoist Tong, do you still suspect that I reported you...?"
"No. How could someone as upright as Fellow Daoist Xia do such a despicable thing?" Jia Xitong grabbed the spirit stone he had returned and took Hu Changxiu with her.
The five-person group watching from the side understood what was happening.
"I never would have guessed it was him."
"He reported someone and then went on to praise them. Sharp is no good."
"He reports others and still wants to gain benefits from them. That's just how he is. Hmph, it's only because Fellow Daoist Tong is so magnanimous. If he were me, I certainly wouldn't let him off so easily."
Those who cultivate themselves have sharp ears and eyes.
Although the discussion was quiet, it reached Sharp's ears completely.
He was furious when he heard that.
But feeling guilty, he dared not refute.
On one side was the group of five led by Wang Xiushi, and on the other side were Xi Tong and Hu Changxiu. He stood alone in the middle, clearly isolated.
Everyone else was pretending not to understand, except for Hu Changxiu, who was still genuinely confused. "Fellow Daoist Tongtong, Fellow Daoist Xia, he he he..."
"He's fine."
Jia Xitong patted Hu Changxiu on the shoulder, "You don't need to worry about him anymore."
Hu Changxiu's eyes widened.
Having been prompted to this extent, he understood.
"A heartless wolf?!"
Jia Xitong snorted coldly, "Both wicked and stupid."
##
After all, it's my first day of teaching, and I can't let something so trivial ruin my mood.
afternoon
Jia Xitong composed herself, changed into the embroidered pillow-shaped puppet made by Shang Yanting, and walked into the classroom with a smile on her face.
Because the talisman has spread widely within the academy, more and more students are choosing talismans as an elective course. As soon as Jia Xitong entered the classroom, she saw that it was packed with people.
Looking at these heads, Jia Xitong felt a jolt of energy, as if she could hear the sound of "believers +1 +1 +1".
How wonderful!
They are all top seeds.
With excitement, she walked up to the podium and introduced herself to the disciples below, "Hello, students, I am your talismanic teacher, Teacher Tong."
Upon seeing the person on the stage, Cuiping, who was sitting in the third row below, instantly changed her expression—
How could it be her?!
Cuiping never expected that the talisman teacher she chose would be her!
Didn't Sharp say he could kick her out of school?
What should we do now?
I offended her before, will she kill me?!
Fortune changes every day
Cuiping never expected that this would happen to her. She regretted choosing talismans because she envied the bright future of talisman cultivators. Looking at Jia Xitong in front of the podium, she felt like she was being pricked by needles.
Jia Xitong glanced over and naturally spotted Cuiping as well.
To be honest, as a teacher, she wouldn't go so far as to settle personal scores. At most, she might not show her any favors in class.
But Cuiping herself couldn't sit still. Under the gaze of the crowd, she suddenly stood up. "Teacher Tong? I wonder what abilities you, at such a young age, have given you the qualifications to become a teacher at our Dingtian Academy?"
"What I'm capable of is none of your business."
Jia Xitong glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to study, you can apply to take other electives."
