Chapter 16: No retreat

But where would the skirt come from? Qianye tried his best to solve this problem. Shaking his head forcefully, he noticed the girls around them, and understood where the skirt would come from.

Was this how being drunk felt like? It wasn’t that bad! As he thought even more, he became full of excitement.

Song Zining and the two other youngsters seemed to be speaking about something, they would even turn to ask him a few questions occasionally. However, Qianye’s consciousness which was floating could never hear them clearly, and even if he did, he just couldn’t understand what they meant.

But Qianye still could understand the gist of it, these three nonstop buzzing house flies were asking him to drink, and drink, and drink! They also said that since Qianye was drunk, he had to accept his loss, change and dance, or they would stop him from drinking further.

Song Zining smiled evilly at Qianye as he pulled a girl closer and started to undo her skirt. The girl laughed happily without shying away, she even shook her hips for the skirt to fall faster.

But Qianye did not think he was drunk.

“I can still drink! Here, cheers!” as he spoke proudly, he rose his wine cup and poured it’s contents into his throat before taking another cup.

Since he challenged them, Song Zining and the two other youngsters did not want to look weak and also started drinking.

Looking at the sky in confusion, Qianye felt as though today’s moon moved very quickly, it was just at his right, yet now it had ran to the left side of the sky?

The night was very silent, like now it should be.

In this lonely night, Qianye could not help but yawn, he felt like sleeping now. And just as he had that thought, he laid down, his head landing on something soft, it was comfortable.

But in the next moment, his body shot up as sweat poured!

This night was not supposed to be quiet! There was a group of people bickering only a while ago, why was it suddenly so silent!?

Turning behind, he saw Song Zining in a pile of young men and women on the ground, all of them sleeping soundly and deeply.

After being dumbfounded for a bit, Qianye understood, they were all drunk.

In this drinking party, Qianye had beaten three powerful opponents by himself. After releasing all his sweat, he was finally awake.

But being awake was not good for him, looking at this messy sight, Qianye felt a headache coming. How would he clean this mess up. Carrying all eleven of these dead pigs resembling fellows back would not be easy.

At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind him: “How lively!”

Hearing this voice, Qianye’s natural instincts caused him to immediately jump up, and standing as straightly as a pen, he greeted loudly, “Teacher!”

Changjing walked out from the forest as she looked at the countless alcohol bottles littered on the ground, then at Qianye. Though she was smiling, she wasn’t truly smiling, “Did you do this?”

“This, no,” Qianye did not know how to answer. But at this moment, he felt as though the atmosphere was rather strange. Changjing’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning particularly brightly and the air seemed to carry the scent of danger.

Looking up and down at Qianye multiple times over, Changjing suddenly sighed as the light in her eyes were controlled.

Waving her hand, she spoke rather lonelily, “Go back first, don’t mind about the matters here. Tomorrow morning, go and report to teacher Yin Ying. He will give you a week’s worth of private lessons as a reward for your results for this test.

Qianye was both shocked and elated. Yin Ying was a gun and a killing expert, to be able to be privately taught for a month was an extremely precious rewards.

Returning to his room, the spirits that filled his belly took effect and he quickly fell asleep.

When the next morning came, Qianye was awakened by the commotion from the field. Not knowing what was going on, he went over in curiosity before shockingly finding out that Song Zining and the two other youngsters were tied to the pillars, with three whip marks decorating their completely naked bodies.

The three of them were all fearsome figures that ranked in the top ten for the midyear examinations, rumoured to all be from powerful families. Now, not only were they punished together, they were hung like bared pigs for people to watch! For the children from poorer backgrounds, this was no small news, this sight of the three powerful fellows tied naked up a pillar was not something they had a chance to see normally!

Another crowd shocking news was the reason why Song Zining and the others were so savage.

It was said that they had a 3v1 drinking contest and lost completely. A sight Changjing saw while pa.s.sing by. This demonic female teacher thought that these three fellows were too shameful, and not only did she whip then thrice, she made a show out of them.

This was not a small episode that was easily forgotten in Acheron camp. And every since it happened, Song Zining never agreed to drinking with him anymore, he would always run away when Qianye even brought up the word, alcohol.

This was a regretful matter for Qianye, he truly liked the sensations he experienced that night. But without Song Zining, the status-less Qianye could not afford alcohol, not even the cheapest kind.

In the blink of an eye, three months pa.s.sed.
