บท 60: Covering up
บรรณาธิการ: Misty Cloud Translations
"Fourth Brother, do not be anxious, I believe that the Academy will judge this fairly." Sima You Yue patted Sima You Le on the back. After that, she turned towards He Qiu Zhi, who was already so scared that her whole body was trembling, then turned again towards Nalan, who looked confident that nothing would happen to her. She said, "Nalan Lan, why did you hurt me?"
Sima You Yue's words caused the initially quiet Plaza to explode with conversation. Everyone stared at Nalan Lan with disbelief. The one who had harmed Sima You Yue was actually her?!
"Sima You Yue, don't talk nonsense. When did I harm you?!" Nalan Lan quickly refuted, "You went missing during the time where new students were choosing their Spirit Beast Eggs, but I am a senior student. How could I have harmed you? I wasn't with you when you went to the cave."
The Teaching Director nodded his head, saying, "Nalan Lan has spoken the truth. She's not a new student, how could she have harmed you?"
Sima You Yue looked at the way the Teaching Director was acting and realised that he was already going to be biased towards Nalan Lan.
"She might have had no way, but she made someone else do it. Right, He Qiu Zhi? You wouldn't have pushed me into the Fourth Teleportation Array for no reason right?"
When He Qiu Zhi was pointed out by name, her entire bottle involuntarily trembled. She raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her and could not form her sentences properly.
"I, I…"
Nalan Lan looked at the way He Qiu Zhi was behaving then she looked at the Teaching Director with grief, saying, "Director, I really have no intention to harm Sima You Yue at all. If he lets He Qiu Zhi accuse me as the mastermind, I would really be hard pressed to defend myself."
He Qiu Zhi never expected that Nalan Lan would say this, so she stared at her in shock, her eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, saying, "Miss Nalan Lan, it was clearly you who told me that entering the Fourth Teleportation Array would definitely end in death. You asked me to push Sima You Yue in during the time where they were choosing Spirit Beast Eggs! But now you're pushing all the responsibility onto me!"
Nalan Lan acted as if she knew this was going to happen all along and said, "Everyone look, I told you all that she was going to to say this. I think that this is something that Sima You Yue asked you to say, right?"
"Isn't it just that you are very clear on what happened?" Sima You Yue smirked. She felt that the way Nalan Lan was acting really resembled a clown that was jumping up and down.
"Clear on what? Sima You Yue, I know that the relationship between our families is not that great, but you can't frame me like this!"
"Sima You Yue, just what are you planning to do?" Murong An hatefully glared at Sima You Yue, feeling that Sima You Yue was doing this just to get his attention but he was increasing disgusted by him.
"Why do you care about what I want to do?" Sima You yue looked at Murong An with disdain. Looking at the way he was acting, she knew he was being narcissistic again.
Feng Zhi Xing had finally regained his calm and said, "You Yue, you're saying that He Qiu Zhi is the one who pushed you into the Teleportation Array but it was under Nalan Lan's orders?"
Sima You Yue nodded.
Feng Zhi Xing looked at He Qiu Zhi and with a face covered with frost, he asked, "He Qiu Zhi, do you admit to your crime?"
He Qiu Zhi took a look at the way Feng Zhi Xing was behaving and immediately knelt down, "Master Feng, I never wanted to harm Sima You Yue, it was Nalan Lan who made me do it. If it was not for her ordering me to do it, as a new student, how would I know that there would be something wrong with the Fourth Teleportation Array?"
"The entire school knows that there's something wrong with the Fourth Teleportation Array, it's not just Nalan Lan. On what basis do you claim that it was her who told you to do it? Do you have any evidence?" The Teaching Director said, "If not, I could say that it was someone else who asked you to do it and you just want to cover up for the one backing you."
"My words are the very evidence! It was really Nalan Lan who asked me to do it!" He Qiu Zhi never expected that the Teaching Director would not believe what she said and was momentarily stunned.
Sima You Yue did not think that the current situation was anything out of her expectations. After all, this Teaching Director's surname was Nalan. He was part of the Nalan Clan, of course he would say things to the benefit of Nalan Lan.
"It is a given that your words do not count as evidence." The Teaching Director said, "If you have no other evidence, I have to cast the verdict for this issue."
"I…" He Qiu Zhi started at Nalan Lan unresignatedly. At the point of time, she never expected that Sima You Yue would be able to survive to return. Furthermore, whenever the two of them met in private, they only had verbal agreements. Of course she would not have any other types of evidences.
"Right now, I, the Teaching Director, will announce the verdict. He Qiu Zhi has caused harm to Sima You Yue, which has violated the law of our Academy that states you may not harm another student. As a result, He Qiu Zhi must leave the Academy. She will be expelled and will no longer be under the Academy's protection. After leaving, she is also not allowed to declare herself as a student of our Academy." The Teaching Director proclaimed.
"Don't, don't expel me!" He Qiu Zhi cried as she heard that the Teaching Director has expelled her just like this, "It was really Nalan Lan who asked me to do it, she's the real mastermind!"
"Nonsense, as of this moment you are no longer our student. If you continue to slander a student of our Academy, our Academy will not let you off lightly!" The Teaching Director hollered before turning around to face Sima You Yue, asking, "What do you think about this way of settling it?"
Sima You Yue was just waiting for the punishment that the Teaching Director would meter out against He Qiu Zhi before saying, "The punishment for the accomplice is very satisfactory, but the Teaching Director can also justly settle the main culprit."
When the Teaching Director heard what Sima You Yue had said, his eyebrows raised involuntarily, saying, "What do you mean?"
"I mean what I said!" Sima You Yue said, "Just now, you asked for evidence but you only asked He Qiu Zhi, you didn't ask me!"
"You're saying that you have evidence?"
"Yes I do. Zi Qi." Sima You Yue said as she looked towards Wei Zi Qi.
"Here." Wei Zi Qi took out the Sound Stone and handed it over to Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue took the Sound Stone and turned to give it to Feng Zhi Xing, saying, "It's all inside here."
Feng Zhi Xing didn't expect that Sima You Yue actually had a Sound Stone. Of course, he knew how to use it and poured in some Spirit Power, causing the veins on the Sound Stone to move once again.
"Director, you should listen to this carefully." Sima You Yue smiled as she said.
"Save you? Say it, who have you provoked this time?" Nalan Lan's voice came out from the Sound Stone.
"It's Sima You Yue, he's returned." It was He Qiu Zhi's voice.
"Sima You Yue? You say that he's returned?"
"That's right, I saw him today at the Academy building. He's alive and well, he didn't die!"
"How can this be?! Are you sure it's him?"
The voices that came from the Sound Stone stunned He Qiu Zhi and Nalan Lan. This was the conversation they had when they were at the lakeside yesterday night at the Pavilion.
"It really was him! Miss Nalan, you said that entering the Fourth Teleportation Array would definitely mean death. It was only because I believed you that I pushed him in but now he has returned and even wants to take revenge on me. When I saw his eyes, I had goosebumps all over, he really wants to take my life! Miss Nalan, you have to save me. You're the one who made me do it!"
"What are you so uptight about! Even if that trash came back, what can he do to us?"
"He saw that I was the one who pushed him into the Fourth Teleportation Array! He will definitely come to look for me for revenge!"
"The Academy prevents students from mutually killing each other. If one had been found with intentions to harm another, once it was found out by the Academy, the person would immediately be expelled from Academy." Nalan Lan was calm, "As long as Sima You Yue has no evidence, he will have no way of doing anything to us. As long as you don't accept when he comes to you looking to battle, you will not be in any danger. Anyway, does that waste even dare to come to the Academy courtyard looking for trouble with you? Could it be that you can't even win over a waste?"
Listening up to this point, the students all started at Nalan Lan with shock. It was really her who had instigated He Qiu Zhi to do it!
บท 61: Taking things into my own hands
บรรณาธิการ: Misty Cloud Translations
"Nalan, it really was you…" Murong An heard the conversation coming from the Sound Stone and stared at Nalan Lan with disbelief.
" I…" Nalan Lan never expected that Sima You Yue would have this item. She thought that he did not have any evidence, but now this was definitely conclusive proof, rendering her unable to dispute anything.
"Director, you've heard the conversation. He Qiu Zhi was merely a henchman, the real mastermind was Nalan Lan. She's the one who wanted to kill me." Sima You Yue said.
The Teaching Director's face was so black and thunderous. He didn't think that Sima You Yue would actually be able to do this, shooting Nalan Lan so directly.
If she was an ordinary person, it would be fine to expel her. However, Nalan Lan was the genius of the Nalan Clan. If she were to be expelled, the family members would definitely not let him off easily. Even if he was now the Teaching Director of this Academy, he was still restricted by the family.
"Director, you've seen the evidence. Please pass a fair judgement on my students." Feng Zhi Xing looked at the way the Teaching Director was behaving and said directly.
"This, Sima You Yue, this only has the voices. They've only mentioned the name of Miss Nalan but that doesn't necessarily mean it's Nalan Lan. So this evidence is not solid enough." The Teaching Director thought for a while and said this sentence that even he found hard to believe.
When the surrounding students heard this, they all sucked in a breath.
"Director, what do you mean by this?" Feng Zhi Xing said coldly.
The Teaching Director appeared as if he was very satisfied by the explanation that he had come up with and said, "This is exactly what I mean. The evidence is not satisfactory and is not enough to incriminate Nalan Lan. As a result, it is not possible to do anything towards Nalan Lan."
"Director, how could you be like this?!" Sima You Le shouted at the Teaching Director.
"Sima You Le, what kind of attitude are you showing me!" The Teaching Director looked at Sima You Le unsatisfactorily, "If you continue being this way, I might even charge you with disrespect against a teacher! You…"
The Teaching Director had yet to finish speaking when he felt as if he saw someone flash past. After that, Nalan Lan suddenly screamed.
"Sima You Yue, what are you doing!" The Teaching Director shouted when he saw that Sima You Yue was standing in front of Nalan Lan and had placed a dagger on her neck when everyone was not looking.
"What am I doing? Can't you see?" Sima You Yue said, "In any case, you have already decided to favor her. The evidence is clear but you won't punish her. It looks like harming another student can't mean much. I'm just thinking that since this is the case, I can just take things into my own hands and settle this. I'm not sure what will happen if this blade accidentally slips. Will her head still remain on her neck?"
"Stay your hand!" The Teaching Director anxiously shouted when he saw that Sima You Yue's dagger was moving.
"Why should I stop?" Sima You Yue stared at the teaching director mockingly, "So many students have heard the conversation between He Qiu Zhi and Nalan Lan but, no matter what, you seem to want to say it isn't her. Since this is the case, I can kill her but still claim that it wasn't me. Anyway, I believe that the General's residence has the power to keep everyone silent."
"You…" The Teaching Director saw that a line of blood had started to form under Sima You Yue's blade that was pressed against Nalan Lan's neck and wanted to quickly pull them apart. However, Fen Zhi Xing blocked him.
The two of them exchanged two moves before separating. The Teaching Director glared at Feng Zhi Xing and shouted, "Master Feng, what are you doing? By blocking me are you planning to let Sima You Yue kill Nalan Lan?"
Feng Zhi Xing stood in front of Sima You Yue and looked at the Teaching Director, saying, "I feel that Sima You Yue has a point. Since you are unwilling to pass a fair judgement on behalf of my students, I will allow him to settle things himself. I will allow him to settle things before I punish him."
Sima You Yue almost laughed when she heard what Feng Zhi Xing had said. What did he mean that he would allow her to settle things before punishing her, by that time, Nalan Lan would already be dead. He just had to expel her and things would be settled, but at that time the Nalan Clan would have lost a genius but all she had to do was leave the Academy.
Furthermore, she was certain that the the Teaching Director did not dare to really let her harm Nalan Lan, if not, he would have no way to give an account to the Nalan Clan.
"Feng Zhi Xing, I want to punish you!" The Teaching Director said, "But if you move aside now, I will not pursue it."
The Teaching Director did not know how strong Feng Zhi Xing was, he only knew that he was an important person to the Principal. As a result, he did not wish to fight him right now.
The way he saw it, Feng Zhi Xing was offending his superiors and obstructing his enforcement of the law. Giving him this chance could be said to be treating him fairly. However, Feng Zhi Xing did not plan to accept his good graces.
"Since you are unable to conduct things justly, it is a given that I would no longer be able to believe your words." Feng Zhi Xing acted as if he was very earnest and said, "As a result, I will no longer allow you to harm my student any longer. If you want to punish me then go ahead!"
"Sima You Yue, do you know what kind of ending you will meet if you dare to harm Nalan Lan?" The Teaching Director turned to say to Sima You Yue when he saw that Feng Zhi Xing refused to move and that Sima You Yue's dagger could take Nalan Lan's life any moment.
"Won't I just be expelled." Sima You Yue smirked maliciously, "But before I even get expelled, I will do as I please!"
After saying this, she brandished her dagger and prepared to slash it across Nalan Lan."
"Stop!"
The people standing around were shocked by Sima You Yue's actions as the Teaching Director hastened to call out.
When Sima You Yue's blade was just 1cm away from Nalan Lan's neck, a terrifying spirit pressure came from the School building, freezing everyone on the compound in place. Only Feng Zhi Xing was able to turn his body to look at the place which the spirit pressure was coming from.
That place was the Principal's office.
The window of the Principal's office opened as a person flew out from the inside, landing on the Plaza. He looked at Sima You Yue and Nalan Lan, walked over to pull Nalan Lan out of Sima You Yue's clutches.
After that, he released the terrifying spirit pressure.
"Everyone else disperse. The few of you, come with me to the Principal's office!" The Principal looked at Sima You Yue and gang, clasped his hands behind his back and left.
Nobody dared to dispute the Principal's words and everyone who had come to see the exciting show had left. Sima You Yue and Feng Zhi Xing, Sima You Le, the Teaching Director, Nalan Lan and He Qiu Zhi followed the Principal to his office.
Nalan Lan covered her neck with her hands, hatefully glaring at Sima You Yue. It was too sudden just now and she did not even notice when Sima You Yue had come close to her. Just now, she really felt Sima You Yue's strong urge to kill. She knew that if the Principal had not appeared, Sima You Yue would really have killed her!
Sima You Yue glanced at Nalan Lan and made an action of slitting her throat. Looking at her involuntarily retracting her neck, she beamed.
After that, she looked at Feng Zhi Xing who had walked in front of her. She had noticed that under the Principal's spirit pressure, he actually managed to retain his movement. This meant that he was stronger than the Principal.
The Principal was known to be the strongest person in the country of Dong Chen, even stronger than Sima Lie. Feng Zhi Xing did not look that old, was he really stronger than the Principal?
What was a person like this hiding in a school for?
