454 Consecutive Slaps – First Form 1 (1/2)
Down below the trees, Li Zi Mu was trying desperately to gain back a little of his reputation. He was completely unaware that his every action was being closely scrutinised by the people high up among the higher reaches of the tall trees.
”Qiao Chu! The bottle that that kid threw out earlier, wasn't it the same bottle that Jun Xie handed to all of us last night?” Fei Yan's sharp eyes saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and turned his head to asked Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu squinted his eyes and said: ”After using it last night, I asked Jun Xie if he wanted it back and he told me no. I just slipped it into my clothes and I guessed it must have dropped out while I was sleeping.”
”Oh….. I thought the disciples from the main division were always acting all high and mighty before us but it seems that it's not beneath them to be capable of stealing credit when it's not due to them. When did things that belonged to our Little Xie become his?” Fei Yan said with his eyes narrowed, feeling extremely disgruntled that Li Zi Mu had claimed Jun Xie's medicated powder as his own so shamelessly.
Jun Wu Xie was observing Li Zi Mu silently as he claimed all the credit from his fellow teammates.
”Little Xie, you know him?” Seeing the way Jun Xie was staring at Li Zi Mu, Fei Yan's keen eyes seemed to notice something.
Jun Wu Xie did not reply but it was Fan Jin who cleared his throat lightly instead to say: ”That boy below us is Li Zi Mu, and he wasn't too friendly to Jun Xie in the academy.”
Fan Jin was being very reserved with his choice of words, Li Zi Mu had merely been unfriendly to Jun Xie! ?
It could be said that the reason that Jun Xie had to suffer under all those curses and admonishments from the other disciples so badly in the academy, had all started when Li Zi Mu had cooked up such a story in the dining hall in the beginning.
If Li Zi Mu had just told the truth then, Jun Xie would not have had to be seen to be a despicable and scheming scoundrel.
”Oh?” Fei Yan's eyes narrowed dangerously.
