That was a whipping motion, and it looked like the other person had done it many times, to the point that it had become muscle memory.
However, at the master's signal, the teaching assistants with stern faces retreated, remaining in their positions in the elevator and the four corners of the classroom, as if they were suppressing something.
The master first led everyone in reciting some scripture at a leisurely pace.
The chanting did have a certain air of reverence, like chanting sutras before a Buddha statue, but unfortunately, Xie Li couldn't be bothered to listen to a single word.
Chen Lian seemed to vaguely understand a few words, "Did it say something about men being superior to women? The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Did I hear that right?"
Xie Li: "Don't look into the master's eyes later."
She had been observing Jiang Qingyu's condition, but Jiang Qingyu kept her head down and devoutly chanted scriptures, not even glancing at her.
Chen Lian listened in a daze, feeling that she didn't quite understand.
Whether it was Xie Li's words or the master's scriptures, after listening to the master's scriptures, she felt somewhat calm and didn't really want to speak.
After finishing the chanting, the master suddenly said, "We have two new students with rather serious problems. We need to perform an exorcism ritual today."
The teaching assistant placed a futon and an incense burner below the master's platform, and then invited Chen Lian to go up.
Chen Lian walked up in a daze and was asked to kneel on the prayer mat.
The master stared at Chen Lian's face, his eyes full of compassion: "Poor child, suffering so much, burdened by karmic obstacles, you must be having a very hard time."
Chen Lian was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "Where have I suffered? I'm living a very comfortable life!"
Seeing the master's withered hand reaching towards his head, he felt both disgusted and strangely familiar, and didn't flinch.
"Your five facial features and three eyes are flawed, your fate is unfavorable, which has led to disharmony in your family, discord with your relatives, and a body full of resentment. This is not your fault." The master's voice was somewhat ethereal, his eyes looking compassionately into Chen Lian's eyes. "I heard it was your mother who wanted to send you here? Your mother has always disapproved of you, hasn't she? Poor child..."
The "hiss" sound was particularly jarring in the quiet classroom.
Xie Li shifted his position somewhat embarrassedly. "Sorry, I wasn't sitting properly just now."
The master paused, a flash of displeasure crossing his eyes.
Two teaching assistants immediately stepped forward and stood next to Xie Li with gloomy expressions and somewhat eerie gazes.
The master continued to stare into Chen Lian's eyes, "You long for your mother's approval and affection, don't you, child?"
"Once the five poisons are eliminated and karmic obstacles are cleared, you..."
"Chen Lian!" Xie Li suddenly called out, completely ignoring the murderous glares from the two teaching assistants, and asked directly, "You don't get along with your mother?"
"Nonsense! My relationship with my mom is great!" Chen Lian immediately exploded and retorted loudly.
The stagnant, sticky atmosphere in the classroom, which seemed to drag people into hell, instantly dissipated, and the air began to flow again, becoming fresh and vibrant.
Chen Lian then remembered something and angrily pushed the master's hand away, "If you're going to give a lecture, then give a lecture. What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
As the class bully of Linjiang No.1 Middle School, Shen Lian dared to confront even the dean of students, so her temper was not exactly good.
This master not only came here preaching some patriarchal, male-dominated, and underworldly ideas, but he also dared to sow discord between her and her mother.
Ever since she got back the hair growth serum Xie Li gave her, which saved her mother's receding hairline, her mother has been incredibly kind to her!
This master's methods of sowing discord are even worse than her scheming cousin's!
