134 Mo Wen Returns (1/2)
On the day that Mo Wen left the Gu Clan Fort, they started their journey back to the capital. The specialized conference lasted a week and had come to an end. For Shen Jing, she had benefited greatly from the trip. For Mo Wen, he too had reaped a plentiful harvest.
With the Soul Nurturing Jade that was carved into a Buddha statue, within these few years, he wouldn't need to worry about the danger of Mo Qingge's Massacre's Host acting up.
After rescuing Lin Qing, Shen Jing could finally breathe easy. She initially wanted to ask the details of the entire situation from Mo Wen, but since Mo Wen did not say anthing, she didn't pursue the issue any further.
As for Lin Qing, after they parted ways, she had not contacted Mo Wen. Even Shen Jing had trouble finding her. She seemed to be frantically involved in her work.
The contingent arrived back at Hua Xia University in the middle of the night. Mo Wen returned to his dormitory to get a good night's sleep. The next morning, he woke up as usual and got ready to go to class.
He had been away from school for a week, and no one in the class knew where he had went. For Mo Wen though, this was a common occurrence. Not seeing him in class for a few days was the norm. If Mo Wen were to show up in class daily, that would have been a strange occurrence. However, this time he was gone for a little longer than usual.
He had just entered the classroom when Mo Wen felt everyone's gazes being directed at him at once. Many of his classmates had strange stares, some were full of disdain...some were mocking...some were pitying…
Mo Wen was stunned. He did not understand the gazes of the crowd. He had just not shown up for class for a week. Wasn't that the usual thing he did? Did they need to be so dramatic?
Wang Yuan had a complicated look as he looked at Mo Wen. He had begun to open his mouth to speak, but then swallowed back his words. He lowered his head and got back to his textbook, purposely avoiding looking at Mo Wen.
Chen Zhongqing snorted. He looked at Mo Wen with contempt. Before, he had considered Mo Wen as a friend because he admired his skills, but now…
Mo Wen looked bafflingly at the room full of classmates. What was going on? He just hadn't shown up for class for a week; they didn't need to boycott him to this extent.
Wang Xiaofei suddenly slammed the table and stood up from her seat. She expressionlessly walked towards Mo Wen and swung a slap at Mo Wen's face.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and readily caught Wang Xiaofei's wrist. He pressed her onto the study desk, baffled, and said, ”Are you crazy?”
”Am I crazy? That's right, I am crazy. You coward, I misjudged you,” Wang Xiaofei violently swept Mo Wen's hand away. She looked at Mo Wen with red eyes.
”What's the matter?” Mo Wen scowled. Something didn't seem quite right. Could it be that something had happened when he was away from the capital?
”Xiaoyou has been lying in the hospital for four days already. You haven't even gone to see her once, every day hiding away. Are you that afraid of Su Boyu?” As she was speaking, Wang Xiaofei's tears started to roll. For such a man, Xiaoyou had been completely ruined. Was it really worth it?
”What did you say?” Mo Wen's heart sunk. He had a bad feeling about this.
”Xiaoyou has been disfigured; 45% of her entire body is covered in burns. Because of you, Su Boyu did this to her.” Wang Xiaofei wiped away the tears on her face, sneered and said, ”The whole school has been talking about this. Don't say you don't know. You coward, all of our classmates look down on you.”
She mockingly laughed. It was laughable that she had such admiration for such a man!
”What!” Mo Wen felt his heart plummet downwards. He felt like he was in a trance. He grabbed Wang Xiaofei and said coldly, ”What did you just say? Where is Xiaoyou?”
