The scene was completely silent.
Wenling pursed her lips, hesitating to speak: "You..."
"Are you perhaps suffering from hysteria?" He Jingxuan scoffed, his eyes full of mockery. "Where on your face are you injured?"
By this point, he had no idea that Zhang Jingyang was the one who provoked first, and that he had been forcibly taken away by Xie Li at noon.
As a result, Zhang Jingyang wanted revenge, but deliberately provoked him to be at odds with Xie Li, making him deal with Xie Li... He really played his cards right.
Unfortunately, what he hates most are people who try to outsmart him.
When Zhang Jingyang saw He Jingxuan's expression, he knew that his plan had failed. He felt a little guilty, but when he thought of his injury, he managed to keep his composure.
Why did He Jingxuan have to say something like that he had no injuries on his face? His face has such obvious injuries; does he think everyone else is blind?
"Teacher Wen, I..." Someone handed Zhang Jingyang a wet wipe, and he wiped the green paste off his face and looked up to show everyone.
He was absolutely certain that the force of Xie Li's dozen or so slaps had caused him to see stars, hear a deafening ringing in his ears, and have his face swollen and painful...
Zhang Jingyang suddenly stopped. Strange, when did his face stop hurting?
The head of the teaching department finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Isn't your face perfectly fine?" It's even fairer than before, looking as healthy as could be.
Wen Ling pursed his lips and remained silent, his expression cold and inscrutable.
Zhang Jingyang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, took out his phone and opened the front camera. Sure enough, apart from the green smear he hadn't completely wiped off, his complexion was fair and rosy, perfectly normal, and he didn't look like he had just suffered a brutal attack.
Zhang Jingyang was completely dumbfounded.
He Jingxuan said dismissively, "If you're going to slander someone, at least come up with a plausible excuse."
"No, teacher, please believe me, I need to apologize to Xie Li, I..." Zhang Jingyang was extremely flustered; he didn't understand why this was happening.
Wen Ling didn't look at him anymore, but instead turned his gaze to He Jingxuan. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but He Jingxuan had already walked past him and gone straight away.
Wenling couldn't stop him.

Ming Xiaoxiao followed the crowd this way, listening to all sorts of gossip along the way.
As they reached the corner, they ran into Pei Si and his group coming down from the upstairs coffee shop.
She hurried over: "Young Master Pei, have you been here the whole time? Have you seen Xie Li? What happened?"
His concern and worry were evident in his words.
Pei Si became irritated as soon as he heard the name. "Didn't I tell you not to get involved in her affairs anymore?"
Ming Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then said in a very low voice, "I... I heard that Xie Li got into big trouble, and I also heard that she got into a fight..."
"Then you don't need to worry about it at all. With your small frame, how can you manage Xie Li's affairs?" Qu Wenbin said with a grin.
"I don't believe Xie Li would fight!" Ming Xiaoxiao said firmly. "Xie Li did like to solve problems with his fists in the past, but that was in the past, there's no way around it."
"Now that she's the eldest daughter of the Xie family, a prestigious and powerful clan in Linjiang City, she has absolutely no need to fight!"
Pei Si kicked a nearby street lamp in frustration. "How exactly did Xie Li brainwash you? You trust her that much?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Ming Xiaoxiao and pointed to a small alleyway to the side.
"He just beat someone up inside, then threw the person on the ground without a care in the world, and went to eat across the street."
Ming Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, bit her lower lip, and looked somewhat sad and embarrassed.
Just as I was about to say something, a person came out of the alley.
