Chapter 212 Legitimate Reasons
After a false alarm in the cafeteria, on the way back to the dormitory after dinner, the boy with the square scarf brought a few friends to Tianbao and Bai Yu.
"Thank you so much for what we did. If you hadn't interrupted us, we would have been beaten up." The young man with the square scarf patted Bai Yu's shoulder in a friendly manner, his face full of gratitude. "I know you two are siblings. Your name is Shi Yu, and your sister's name is Jiu Er, right? My name is Li Qiming, and we'll be friends from now on!"
The others were also grateful, and they paid more attention to Tianbao and Bai Yu, observing and exploring them.
They are not stupid. The man who called Young Master Ding just now clearly came here to cause trouble. Judging from his skilled posture, it is not the first time he has done such a thing. He is definitely not someone who will give up easily.
In the end, the matter was not accomplished. It was because Shi Yu mentioned the reward from the owner of the museum, and Jiuer took out the ointment that was awarded, that made the old members feel wary.
Bai Yu looked at the people who came over, scratched his head and smiled innocently, "You're too kind. My sister and I don't know anything. We're new here like everyone else. We should help each other and make progress together."
This is an acknowledgement of the intention to help.
Teenagers are still simple-minded. Once they develop a common bond, they can become friends in just a few words.
Tianbao walked beside him, and seeing Bai Yu enjoying himself with ease, her almond-shaped eyes slowly shifted away.
She didn't help, she just didn't want to be beaten without being able to fight back.
Besides, he was just picking on the fat guy on purpose.
Since I've stepped forward this time, the fat guy and his people will probably find a chance to take revenge soon.
The poor brother and sister came to the martial arts school to apply for admission in order to make a living. Because they were "bullied", they worked hard to improve themselves and practice martial arts. Only then did they have a legitimate reason to come out on top in the final assessment.
As Tianbao expected, the fat man came quickly.
The next day after morning practice, the brother and sister were assigned to clean the bamboo forest behind the martial arts hall's South Courtyard. The fat man came to them with five or six helpers.
At that time, the brother and sister each had a bamboo broom and were cleaning the bluestone path in the forest.
The entire bamboo forest occupies a large area behind the wall of Nanyuan, and the forest is deep and dark.
The morning sun shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting tiny specks of light on the bluestone slabs. The breeze brings the chirping of insects and the fragrance of bamboo, making this place even more secluded.
"Nanyuan Bamboo Forest is the most secluded area of the martial arts gym. Normally, no one comes here. I specially assigned you here." The fat young man led the others to surround the young man and girl, twisting his wrist and sneering, "You dared to ruin my good deeds yesterday. Today, I will teach you when to speak and when to keep silent in this martial arts gym! Beat them up!"
Seeing these people about to attack, Bai Yu immediately protected his sister behind him and shouted angrily, "Qingshan Martial Arts School is a place where rules are respected! As senior brothers, you are so wantonly bullying your junior brothers and sisters. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the supervisor?"
"Hahahaha! Newcomers are newcomers. Punishment? What punishment? If someone doesn't like you and beats you up, what does it have to do with us? We didn't do anything. We are still practicing martial arts hard in the dormitory!" The fat young master waved his hand and rushed forward to attack, showing no mercy to either the boy or the girl.
I thought I could easily knock down the newcomer, but I didn't expect that even with six or seven people surrounding me, I still let him rush out.
The bamboo forest was dense, and the brother and sister separated and circled around the bamboo forest, and they were not caught for a while.
"Manager Ding is a man who rewards and punishes people clearly and is very observant. If he knew that a new disciple in the academy was bullied, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly and would never be deceived by villains like you!" Bai Yu shouted at the top of his voice as he ran, stumbling from time to time and crying out in pain.
Tian Bao cursed back, her voice tinged with tears, "You've gone too far! Not only did you bully my brother and I, who are helpless and helpless, but you even looked down on Manager Ding! You accused him of being a gullible person! The manager cares about and loves the disciples in the academy, but he ended up protecting the wrong people like you, ungrateful bastards!"
Being led around in circles by the two men, unable to catch up or hit them, and having to listen to their incessant yelling and cursing, the fat young master was furious. "Shut up! Don't run away if you dare! Why do you keep mentioning Manager Ding? Do you think you can suppress me by bringing him up? Let me tell you, this young master doesn't take him seriously!"
As he finished speaking, a man's cold and angry voice rang out from the South Garden, which was separated from the bamboo forest by a wall. "Don't you take me seriously? I want to see who's talking nonsense!"
The familiar voice made the fat young man and his companions stop in their tracks. They turned around in disbelief and saw Manager Ding standing on the wall over there, his face as black as pot lacquer.
The fat young master's legs went weak, "..."
Why is Steward Ding here?
At this time, Bai Yu stumbled and fell to the foot of the wall, looked up at the people above, and said, "Manager Ding, my brother and I were transferred here to clean. I didn't expect that we would upset our senior brothers. Manager Ding, please make a decision! If there is no room for us in the hall, we will leave!"
Tian Bao ran over from the other side and hid behind her brother, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, her whole body trembling. "Brother, didn't you say that if you joined the martial arts school, you would have enough food to eat and live a good life? But the people here bully their fellow disciples and disrespect their teachers. Why is it like this...?"
The soft tone of voice with a tearful tone, coupled with the girl's trembling state, makes it easy for people to be biased.
Manager Ding's gaze fell on the fat young man. "What a bunch of arrogant people! Go to the front hall and receive your punishment!"
The fat young man and his companions were immediately frightened, their faces turning pale. They approached and said tremblingly, "Manager Ding, don't listen to their alarmist words! The disciples of the academy always remember the rules of the academy. How could they bully their fellow disciples casually? They were just teasing them. We didn't do anything!"
"Didn't do it? Did they inflict the wounds on their faces and hands by themselves?" Manager Ding sneered again.
Fat boy, "???"
Bai Yu and Tian Bao turned their heads at the foot of the wall so that the others could see their faces clearly. They saw that the boy had several purple bruises on his jaw and at the corners of his eyes.
The girl's face was still clean, but her hand that was holding the boy's clothes had a large black scar on her slightly exposed wrist.
The fat boys all said, "????"
Opposite them, in Manager Ding's blind spot, the young man and the girl both curled their lips slightly, their smiles contemptuous and arrogant.
"Manager Ding, they framed us!"
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, yet you still dare to make excuses! It seems that I have neglected to discipline you in recent years, and this has made you emboldened!"
After a round of scolding in the front hall, Manager Ding was so angry that he rushed out through the door, attracting the attention of many disciples in the hall.
Soon an order came down that Master Ding and his companions had disrespected the academy rules, teachers, bullied their fellow students, and intended to deceive others with lies. Each of them was punished with ten strokes of the cane and was ordered to clean the South Garden for three months.
In order to appease the people, Manager Ding sent someone to pass on the message that if any new disciples were bullied again, the culprit would be severely punished once he was found out.
