Chapter 14 Chapter 14 [Thanks for 10,000 favorites and more updates]
Sang Ji was so angry that he laughed out loud.
However, before he could react to this clumsy scam, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out at the classroom door.
A young monk holding a ruler stood at the door and scolded in a cold voice: "This is a sacred place for the academy. You are not allowed to make noise. You are really unruly. What are you doing?"
When he looked up and saw the monk's face, Sang Ji's eyelids drooped.
Secretly making the shape of "Dong Guban" with his mouth, Sang Ji gritted his teeth and bowed, "In reply to the teacher, the students are playing games."
"Games?" The young monk snorted coldly, "You have an inappropriate appearance and a bad posture. Since you have already entered the Dao, how can you just focus on playing and neglect your studies? Why don't you hurry up..."
The cultivator held back the second half of the sentence when he saw Yan Luoyue lying on the ground.
The young monk took two steps forward in astonishment. He was dumbfounded and even stuttered when he spoke: "Where on earth did this little demon girl come from?"
He immediately squatted down to sniff Luoyue's breath, and the monk was horrified.
"He's already barely breathing!"
The young monk jumped up like a spring and said, "What happened? Who is so cruel and ruthless that he beat an innocent girl to the point of nearly dying?"
With a few whoosh sounds, everyone in the Zhen class, including Sang Ji's followers, immediately turned their eyes to Sang Ji.
The corners of Sang Ji's lips twitched twice in extreme speechlessness.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Dong, you should find out the truth first. I just gently touched her with my leg. This girl is a turtle. How could she..."
How can it be so crispy?
Although the demons can transform into human form, their physical strength is far different from that of ordinary humans.
For example, in the animal world, a giant panda mother fell from a tree and landed on her baby giant panda; a macaque mother not only competed with her own child for food, but also used the baby monkey as a cushion to sit on... These kinds of things are not uncommon.
But if you try the same situation on humans?
If the human child had no cultivation to protect him, he would surely die on the spot if he was treated like this.
Mammals like giant pandas and macaques are so tenacious, let alone turtles, who are such a strong and long-lived species.
Sang Ji had lived for fourteen years, and he really didn't believe that someone like Yan Luoyue would collapse to the ground like a turtle and die on the spot just by touching him.
If the teacher punished him with crimes such as "forming a clique" or "being extremely bad", Sang Ji would plead guilty and accept the punishment without saying anything.
But if he was suddenly accused of "beating a weak girl in class until she was on the verge of death", Sang Ji would feel that he was wronged no matter how he thought about it.
"What, this little girl is from the turtle tribe?"
In Sang Ji's defense, the young monk only paid attention to one key point throughout the whole article.
The young monk was even more shocked: "You even beat the turtle tribe like this, how badly did you hit her?!"
Sang Ji: “…”
Huh? How did you come up with such an outrageous answer using a completely correct way of thinking?
He won't take the blame for this!
Until now, Sang Ji finally understood the lip movements that the little girl had made to him before.
——She said, you’re in trouble.
Indeed.
Sang Ji now deeply felt that he could not wash away the injustice and frustration he had suffered even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
At this moment, Sang Ji's face was full of dissatisfaction and he wanted to argue again, but Yan Gan was not in the mood to argue.
He threw Sang Ji aside, took two steps forward, carefully helped Yan Luoyue up, and supported her head with his knee.
Sang Ji looked at it with amusement: "No, Brother Yan, it seems that you guys are here as a group to commit fraud?"
Yan Gan glared at him fiercely.
"My sister has been weak and sickly since she was born. Everyone in the family knows it. If you beat her up today, I will die..."
"Eh," noticing Yan Gan's serious expression, Sang Ji gradually couldn't laugh anymore.
He swallowed and murmured, "Are you serious?"
Yan Gan was furious: "Who would joke about such a big thing?"
Sang Ji took a deep breath and bit the tip of his tongue.
There actually are such fragile turtles in the world. Today he was finally enlightened.
Originally, whether the turtle cubs were healthy or not was none of his business. But he just, uh, he just...
Did he just push this particularly fragile little turtle away?
Sang Ji: “!!!”
Well, if he kneels down now and begs the little girl not to die, will it be too late? !
For a moment, Yan Luoyue closed her eyes tightly, remaining weak and bloodless; the two students were arguing, their words were about to spark; the whole class came over to watch, many whispers merged together...
This chaotic scene made the young monk very confused.
The young monk thought in despair: When he was ordered by the sect to go down the mountain to teach, he could never have imagined that the greatest difficulty of the mission was not "teaching" but "taking care of children".
Just when the young monk was feeling confused, a voice as clear as a stream suddenly came.
The sound was neither high nor low, but it carried a kind of moist air that soaked my heart and spleen. It was like the free clouds in the mountains, which were still clear even if they were thousands of feet away.
"Junior Brother Dong, what happened to you?"
The young monk's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and his head, which had been buzzing from the noise, also calmed down for a moment. He stood up and saluted with a sense of relief: "Brother Jiang. Great, you're finally here."
Yan Luoyue carefully lifted her eyelids a little, and secretly glanced at the person who came through her black curly eyelashes.
Due to the angle, she could only see a corner of the fluttering moon-white dress, which looked a little familiar.
The moon-white dress was made of neither thin nor thick material, without a single embroidery, and was extremely simple. The owner of the clothes was walking towards her quickly.
The visitor placed his cool fingers on Yan Luoyue's wrist. After carefully considering Yan Luoyue's pulse for a while, Mr. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, just feed her this pill."
Yan Gan hurriedly took the pill: "Thank you, sir."
A healing pill instantly restored all of Yan Luoyue's health bars.
Unlike the medicines in the backpack, the pills produced in this world will not cause bleeding effects.
This discovery really made Yan Luoyue breathe a sigh of relief.
After dealing with her little accident, the only culprits waiting to be dealt with were Sang Ji, who instigated the trouble, and Yan Gan, who brought his sister to school.
Yan Luoyue took two steps outside and picked up the wooden hairpin. When she put Xiao Ming's water tank back into her hair, she felt as if someone was staring at her.
I turned my head alertly, but it was Mr. Jiang who was looking at the hairpin, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Yan Luoyue blinked rapidly.
Well, this Mr. Jiang, I don’t think he will find anything, right?
She recalled that when she sneaked into school in the morning, she seemed to be caught by this Mr. Jiang. In the scam just now, she got a pill from him for free.
Yan Luoyue rubbed the tip of his nose and simply turned into a little turtle again. He slowly crawled into Yan Gan's sleeve and then tucked his head into his turtle shell.
…………
"Hey, listen carefully," Sang Ji nudged Yan Gan with his elbow as they were being led to the disciplinary room, "If the teacher asks you about this later, just put the blame on me."
"!!!"
These words were too unexpected, and Yan Gan couldn't help but look at Sang Ji in surprise.
Sang Ji snorted and laughed, his lips remained motionless, and he whispered through his lips:
"You just arrived at the school, you don't know, Mr. Dong is a conservative person. Any student who falls into his hands will receive the most severe punishment."
"I didn't expect your sister to be so fragile. I owe you this, and I have to repay you once for all."
"When they ask about it, whether it's about you taking the cub to school or you almost got into a fight with me, just say I was threatening you."
Yan Gan turned his face away coldly, but his tone was no longer as stiff as it was at first.
"I have done my share of the blame, and even if I am punished, I won't lie."
"Hey, you..." Sang Ji raised an eyebrow, "You guys really have some backbone."
In just a few words, they were taken to the teaching room by the old-fashioned and irritable young monk.
Monk Dong turned around and scolded them in a stern voice, "You made a mistake but didn't reflect on it. You whispered behind my back. How can you two be so stubborn and unrepentant?"
"Junior brother Dong." Mr. Jiang, who was wearing a moon-white sword robe, held down his junior brother and made a slight downward motion. "You go and do your work first. I will take care of these two children."
"...Yes, Brother."
Reluctantly taking a few steps outside, Monk Dong could not help but add:
"Brother, you don't know that Sang Ji from the Zhen class is a troublemaker and refuses to change despite repeated teachings. I have arrested him more than ten times. And there is also the student Yan Gan. He just entered the school yesterday, but he dared to cause such a big mess today. It's simply..."
"Junior Brother Dong." Jiang Tingbai called out in a neither light nor heavy voice, "I told you to leave them to me."
"...Yes, Brother."
When the door of the teaching room was closed, Mr. Jiang looked at the two students with uneasy faces with a friendly expression and gestured to the armchair opposite him.
"Please take a seat—and your sister, let her sit here."
As soon as Yan Luoyue was let out of Yan Gan's sleeve, a small and exquisite rattan chair that was perfectly suited to her current height was placed in front of her.
There was still some fresh moisture on the vines that woven the chair. Yan Luoyue looked along the long vine and found that the other end of the vine was still condensed on Jiang Tingbai's fingertips.
It turned out that this small chair was woven for her by Jiang Tingbai using magic.
After twisting the knot in his hand, Jiang Tingbai dropped a handful of candies on Yan Luoyue's lap.
While doing these things, his tone remained as gentle as clouds and water, and he became even more gentle:
"Do you have anything to tell me about what happened?"
Sang Ji and Yan Gan looked at each other.
After a moment, Yan Gan lowered his eyes and explained everything, starting from how he had concealed the truth in the morning and brought his sister into school, and ending with Yan Luoyue falling to the ground just now.
"…That's the thing. I'm sorry, sir, I violated the school rules and committed a serious offense. I deserve to be punished. No matter what the punishment is, I will do it without hesitation."
Jiang Tingbai held the teacup and said slowly, "Your sister is eager to study and make progress, and you are caring for your younger sister. This cannot be called a fault."
Yan Gan looked up in surprise: "Sir..."
Jiang Tingbai remained calm and his tone did not even get stronger, but it was enough to make people feel the accusation in his words.
"But you were wrong to secretly take your sister away from home because you wanted to have fun, without considering whether the elders would be worried about it."
Jiang Tingbai didn't need to explain why the elders were worried about this.
After all, the accident that just happened is still fresh in my mind.
Teachers know all too well what students can do.
Yan Luoyue pinched the candy and pushed herself deep into the rattan backrest.
If she was not mistaken, Mr. Jiang had just looked in her direction on purpose.
Obviously, part of the rebuke was directed at her.
Before, Yan Gan had already explained the whole thing truthfully, and for the rest, Sang Ji only needed to add some details.
Regarding the incident that happened to Yan Luoyue, Sang Ji admitted his mistake directly without saying a word.
However, Sang Ji didn't care about the part where he took out someone else's sister from the desk, held her hostage, and threatened her.
Before Jiang Tingbai could say a few words, Sang Ji made a few remarks with a tense expression.
"I was just kidding. I was sure I could catch her. I play this with my brothers at home all the time. But I really didn't think that she would be in such poor health."
"Oh? So that's what you think."
Jiang Tingbai turned to Sang Ji. Although the young man had a submissive posture, there was still a bit of rebelliousness in his eyes.
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Tingbai waved to Sang Ji and took them outside.
He asked calmly, "As I recall, your family is from the black-nosed alligator clan, right?"
Sang Ji raised his head and said, "Yes, I am the black-lipped alligator demon. It is true that I implicated the little girl today. I was not fair in what I did. If anything goes wrong, it should be a life for a life. So if you want to scold or beat me, just punish me."
Jiang Tingbai shook his head and laughed, "I've heard of you a long time ago and know that you're a smart kid. Don't worry, I won't scold you or hit you - I just want you to put yourself in my shoes and understand some truths."
Before he finished speaking, Sang Ji, who had just stiffened his neck, let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His voice-breaking scream directly cut through the azure sky.
However, Jiang Tingbai raised a flying sword as smooth as snow and dragged the Sang Ji all the way up. Then he suddenly let go and threw the Sang Ji down from a height of hundreds of feet!
