70 Indiscreet Remarks (1/2)

As he left the school's Administration Building, Xiao Luo heaved a long sigh of relief. He had thought he could be in deep trouble, but he'd been worried over nothing. With Dong Zhenwu here as a backup, so long as he did not do anything drastic like murder someone, Dong Zhenwu would cover for him.

Without a doubt, this also showed how much Chu Yunxiong valued him. At least, while he was protecting Chu Yue during this period, Chu Yunxiong remained willing to remove any obstacles in his path. In his heart, this reassured him that he had to do his best to protect Chu Yue.

Ever since they'd left the Administration Building, Qin Nanyu nagged him incessantly. She was trying to instill her principles in him and validate her justifications. Xiao Luo just let her teachings wash over him without any of it taking. As a polite façade, he maintained a modest smile.

Deep down, Xiao Luo had reason to smile. He had earned a whopping 10,000 points for the genius system and was sitting on a total of 30,001 points. Of course, he had no intention of immediately spending his points to redeem new abilities. While there was no harm in acquiring more abilities, redeeming skills he would not be using any time soon would simply be a waste of points. He also wanted to avoid an awkward situation where he needed a specific skill but did not have the points required to redeem it.

”Xiao Luo, you have to keep in mind that you're no longer a soldier. You're a university student now, and sometimes you need to hold back your temper,” Qin Nanyu exhorted sincerely. ”Study hard, then take the civil service exam, join the workforce, or pursue further studies. You still have a long road ahead of you, so don't ruin your future during this transition period.”

”I understand, Teacher Qin!” Xiao Luo replied and smiled modestly.

Seeing Xiao Luo's pleasant attitude, Qin Nanyu did not know what else to say. More importantly, her mouth was dry from all the talking, and she almost felt dehydrated. ”You should head back. I hope I won't be hearing about you getting involved in any more fights after this.”

Xiao Luo nodded, then stuck his hands in his pockets and left.

”God, how did I end up having to deal with people like this?”

Qin Nanyu, who was still standing in the same spot, patted herself on the forehead and shook her head, sighing. Her eyebrows were so furrowed that they almost twisted together. She had not gotten much rest over the past two days, thanks to the mess that Xiao Luo had made. She could feel her complexion starting to sallow and pimples popping up.

Back at the dorm, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai crowded together closely.

”Brother Luo, did the headmaster do anything to you? Is the punishment expulsion or disciplinary probation?” asked Zhu Xiaofei anxiously.

”It's all our fault, Old Zhu. Let's go beg the headmaster for mercy,” suggested Ding Kai.

Xiao Luo felt awkward, so he said while patting Ding Kai on the shoulder, ”Relax, everything is okay. You don't have to beg anyone for mercy.”

Everything is okay?

Zhu Xiaofei was sure that Xiao Luo was lying and retorted bitterly, ”My good Brother Luo, don't lie to us. You crippled Song Jianan's hand. There's no way the school will let you off without punishment.”

Ding Kai nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, and his face was full of worry.

”When have I ever lied to you guys?” Xiao Luo shook his head and sighed in exasperation. ”Okay, I'm quite tired. I'm going to go get some rest.”

Having said this, he walked to his bed and promptly fell asleep.

As they watched Xiao Luo nap with a calm and composed expression, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai looked at each other. They almost believed what Xiao Luo had said.
