Chapter 23 Sigh, they always lose.



"I am Xie Danling's older sister, Xie Lingqin. Greetings, Headmistress."

Xie Lingqin gave the old man a slight bow.

The gift was impeccable, the smiles were genuine, and every detail was perfectly executed, leaving no room for error.

The old man looked at Xie Lingqin, stroking his white beard, his eyes deep, "You... are the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?"

"You, you, you are Xie Danling's older sister, the one who..."

"Yes, she's the shameless woman you just mentioned who colluded with Xie Danling and came here specifically to cause trouble for the academy."

Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Shixun, her words laced with sarcasm and a smile.

The young boy was almost in tears. This woman was Xie Danling's older sister, and she had overheard them saying bad things about her.

But I can't hit him. How dare he hit me! I'll make sure he doesn't get away with it.

"Perfect timing. May I ask, Your Excellency, what crime is it to insult and slander a young woman's reputation?" Xie Lingqin suddenly asked the headmaster with a serious expression.

"this……"

The abbot had already guessed what had happened. Even though he wanted to show favoritism, he felt as if he were standing on a sledgehammer and a nut, unable to move, when faced with the girl's clear and bright eyes.

"My Huangshan Academy has a history of over a hundred years. We have always been guided by the teachings of sages and virtuous men, and we understand the principles of 'the highest good is like water, which is tolerant and magnanimous.' However, if the behavior described by Miss Xie is the same as that of a student in my academy, then she should be expelled from the academy and not allowed to stay any longer."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin nodded with satisfaction, "Huangshan Academy is indeed Huangshan Academy."

“Then, they are…” The old man, being the head of the academy, knew Xu Shixun and the others somewhat. He pointed at them and looked at Xie Lingqin, though he was also a little apprehensive, given the identities of these young masters…

“Oh, actually…” Xie Lingqin glanced at Xu Shixun and the others, then shook her head, “They didn’t insult or slander us just now, it was just a joke. As for the injuries on their faces…” Xie Lingqin chuckled again, “They were just sparring with Xie Danling, and then I happened to arrive, so they asked me to be the referee. They even said that if anyone lost, I should slap them to teach them a lesson. Although I felt that was a bit inappropriate, I also thought it was funny… but…” Xie Lingqin sighed, “Sigh, they always lose.”

They always lose.

How innocent those words sounded, coupled with that aloof and innocent face, it was truly hard to bear to expose them.

But it's clearly a blatant lie.

However, Xu Shixun and the other teenagers were left speechless and dared not refute the argument, because they all knew they were wrong.

Who would have thought that this person was Xie Lingqin?

More than thinking about revenge, they were afraid of being kicked out. If their parents found out, they didn't know how they would be punished.

"Young Master Xu, don't you think so?" Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Shixun with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes…” Xu Shixun took the lead, hurriedly got up, and nodded to the head of the academy, “Head of the academy, we were just having a martial arts competition, and we asked Xie Ling… Sister Xie to be the referee.”

The others echoed their agreement.

Seeing this, Xie Lingqin withdrew her hand and put it in her sleeve, somewhat embarrassed. "Sigh, you lost and then asked to be slapped in the face. I don't really understand this request."

That's a lot...

Xie Danling's eyelids twitched.

Xie Lingqin, could you be any more shameless?

But why am I so happy?

The abbot clasped his hands together. Although he felt embarrassed, he was also greatly relieved. It was clear that he did not want to offend any of these people and wanted everything to go smoothly.

They all took a second look at Xie Lingqin. She was young, yet decisive and efficient, thoughtful, and both kind and strict—truly impressive. However, Xu Shixun and his companions, though young, were no pushovers…

Forget it, he can't control what happens after that, as long as it doesn't happen outside the academy.

"In that case, let's leave." At this moment, the young man who had been silent finally spoke.

"You are courteous, Dean. You are courteous, Professor Xu."

Xu Shixun and the others retreated, but after taking a few steps, they were still unwilling to give up. Clenching their fists, they walked back and looked at Xie Lingqin. "Sister Xie, I heard that you are very capable, and you are good at composing poems and lyrics. I wonder if you could give me some pointers?"

Even though both sides of her face are almost swollen like buns, she's still up to no good here.

How could Xie Lingqin write poems and lyrics?

Xie Danling hurriedly tried to step forward to defend himself, but Xie Lingqin spoke up first, "Alright, wait until your poetry and prose surpass Danling's before asking me for guidance."

In other words, if you haven't even beaten her younger brother, and you want to ask her for advice, then you're being incredibly naive.

Xie Danling chuckled inwardly. This fatso had never attended a proper class before. Not to mention composing poems or reciting lyrics, his handwriting was also incredibly ugly.

"...Sister Xie is right, Sister Xie is right." Xu Shixun was, after all, a young man, and he did not hide his emotions very well. Even though he was smiling insincerely, the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes were clear to everyone.

However, they had no choice but to back down.

However, the group of teenagers had not gone far when they suddenly heard strange noises coming from the horizon.

Immediately afterwards, a dark mass appeared, and screams of terror arose.

Because a large swarm of bees headed towards Xu Shixun and his companions.

The abbot and the young man immediately called for help.

Seeing this, Xie Lingqin glanced sideways at Xie Danling and asked in a very low voice, "Did you do this?"

Xie Danling didn't hide anything and told the truth, "Of course, I put some honey on him."

"Just as he hit you and we were entering the door," Xie Lingqin said, lowering her voice even further.

Xie Danling's expression froze for a moment. "You...you saw it."
