Chapter 416 The Dean is Back

Jiang Cheng’s voice was not loud, but his tone was unquestionable.

He Xinrui reacted to what he said and her face flushed.

Zhou Yaya looked up at him when Jiang Cheng pointed at her, her gloomy eyes quickly dropped after just one glance, not showing much emotion. He

Xinrui was shocked at the friend Jiang Cheng mentioned, and reacted with a trembling voice,

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your friend, but I, I just said that, I really didn't mean any harm."

"Whether there is any harm or not is not up to you to say."

Jiang Cheng looked at He Xinrui impatiently, and felt that the tea smell of the girl in front of him was stronger. He really didn't like this kind of person now.

His expression became increasingly grim.

"No one here is deaf or blind. Do you really think no one can see your little trick? Apologize!"

He Xinrui was frightened by the last word of "apology" that he deliberately emphasized. She didn't dare to say anything else. She turned around and apologized to Zhou Yaya with red eyes.

"I'm sorry, I may have hurt you with what I said just now, but I really didn't mean it."

Zhou Yaya looked at the pitiful girl in front of her, sneered in her heart, but didn't show much on her face. She just lowered her head, shook her head, and said hoarsely as if she was shrinking, "It's okay."

Just hearing her voice, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the voice she spoke to him that night.

At that time, he was still wondering how a woman's voice could be so unpleasant, but after reading the information, he only felt sympathy for her.

When she was thirteen, she encountered a fire, her throat was damaged by smoke, and her face was destroyed.

She lost her family, and she was left alone. She struggled to study until she dropped out of high school.

Jiang Cheng could not imagine that someone could live such a miserable life.

But she was able to keep a kind heart in such a miserable situation. After discovering that he was attacked, she stayed with him until he was sent to the hospital, and then left silently.

Jiang Cheng thought, I was really too superficial before.

Appearance is not the standard to judge a person.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her mind is.

He Xinrui saw Jiang Cheng approach Zhou Yaya and wanted to say something, but the mall owner raised his hand to signal,

"Which brand are you the planner for? I think your company needs someone else to take charge."

He Xinrui didn't care about Jiang Cheng anymore after hearing this. She

hurried over to explain to the mall owner.

Today was the first time she had independently planned and organized an exhibition since she became a regular employee. If she was directly replaced, she would be laughed at when she returned to the company.

She thought about trying to explain it to Master Cheng later, and hurriedly chased after the mall manager and the owner.

After they left, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Yaya talked more freely.

Jiang Cheng asked her, "Do you still recognize me? You saved me two days ago."

Zhou Yaya nodded, "Are you okay?"

"Thank you."

Jiang Cheng said, "I came here today to thank you. Don't worry, when you work here in the future, no one will embarrass you like today. If you want to change your position or have other needs, you can also tell me."

Jiang Cheng said this with full confidence. Although this mall has nothing to do with his family, Jiang Cheng has such confidence and promises to her.

Zhou Yaya heard what he said, but her face did not show any ecstasy, and she was still calm.

"No need."

She said, "I'm used to it."

It was obviously a few simple words, but it seemed to hit Jiang Cheng's heart.

That feeling was not heartbeat, but he did want to help this girl more.

Just think of it as a way to repay her for calling an ambulance for me.

...

On the other hand, on the third day after Jiang Xuxu returned to the academy, a major event also happened in the academy.

The dean of Haishi Taoist Academy, whom the freshmen had never seen since the beginning of the school year, finally showed up.

The old man with a long beard and wearing a purple Taoist robe stood slowly in front of the stone statue of Bixi. The aura emanating from his body was like a stream that had been deposited over the years, gurgling, steady and lingering.

When he stood there and spoke, there was a deep silence below.

Of course, this did not include Tu Xingzhu.

Tu Xingzhu was standing behind Jiang Xuxu at this moment, his mouth moving so slightly that it was almost invisible, but Jiang Xuxu could still hear his whispered question,

"One hundred yuan, do you want to hear the dean's gossip?"

Jiang Xuxu faced forward, his face unchanged, but one hand slowly opened five fingers behind him.

Fifty yuan, no more.

Tu Xingzhu muttered, "Fifty yuan is too little, you can add some."

Jiang Xuxu's five fingers turned into three fingers.

Thirty yuan.

If you keep talking nonsense, I will bargain.

Tu Xingzhu cursed her in a low voice for being rich but still talked about the dean's gossip.

"Don't be fooled by the dean's old appearance. In fact, he is really old. I heard that he is 150 years old this year."

"He and the dean of Jingshi College are fellow apprentices. His senior brother took over as the dean of the Taoist College in Jingshi, and the girl he liked stayed in Jingshi to be with his senior brother. The dean was so angry that he applied to be the dean in Haishi."

"The dean has not been seen these days. He went to Jingshi to fight with his senior brother. Because he lost the fight, he took a month to heal his injury and came back only after he was fully healed."

...

Every time Tu Xingzhu spoke, the students next to him subconsciously turned their ears towards them. At the end, the students around Tu Xingzhu were like a closed flower.

The people here were listening with great interest, when suddenly, they felt the dean's voice on the stage stop, and then the next second, the dean who should have been standing in the front, seemed to teleport, and instantly appeared beside Tu Xingzhu. He

replied slowly,

"I did fight, but we in the Xuanmen don't say fighting, we only say sparring."

As he spoke, he looked at Tu Xingzhu with a smile,

"Student Tu Xingzhu, you should be more careful with your words. Otherwise, when you go abroad again, if you use inappropriate words, foreign friends will think that our students are not very good at learning."

Tu Xingzhu, who was just rescued from northern Myanmar by his teacher two months ago: ...

It is said that you should not expose someone's shortcomings, so why is the dean still not practicing martial ethics?

The dean looked at the students on Tu Xingzhu's left and right and said, "I am not 150 years old this year, but 149 years old. It should be written in the schoolbook."

The students next to him immediately sat down again.

The dean finally looked at Jiang Xuxu in front of Tu Xingzhu.

She had been sitting upright all the time, and she didn't look like she was listening to gossip just now.

He stared at her for a long while, and suddenly his eyes fell on the little golden paper figurine that secretly poked its head out from over her shoulder and looked at him.

The dean narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly understood how she had asked for the rainstorm that attracted the power of the Dragon God when she was fighting with Xie Yunli.

Jiang Xuxu could feel the dean's gaze on her for a long time. Although she sat upright and calmly, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart.

After a long while, just when she thought the dean would not say anything else, she suddenly heard him speak, and his tone was meaningful,

"...Your little paper figurine is not bad."

Jiang Xuxu:???

So, should she say thank you?
