Chapter 198 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 14 (1/2)

The atmosphere was especially tense. If stares could kill Shi Sheng would’ve already been stabbed to death several times by Zhong Shiyi’s glares.

The Principal discussed with the Sentinel for a bit, resulting in the latter halting Nine Silences Hall’s provocations. He gave Shi Sheng a meaningful look before leading Nine Silences Hall’s people away once more.

After the Sentinel left, the Principal soon followed suit, albeit in much more of a huff.

Zhong Shiyi was worried about his student, so he didn’t linger for long, but it was clear that this matter wasn’t over.

Hobo Uncle rushed over to Shi Sheng with an expression filled with praise on his scraggly face, “Yaoguang, good job! I’ve never seen that old fogey so helpless before! Damn, that makes me so happy!”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Hobo Uncle has quite a DIFFERENT way of thinking ah! Normally, wouldn’t yoube asking me about my connection to Nine Silences Hall right about now? What’s with that “My student is very amazing, I’m very proud, I’m very happy” look for?!’

“They definitely aren’t going to just let this matter rest though. Don’t worry! As your teacher, I definitely won’t allow them to harm a single hair on your head!” Ye Tiannan’s expression turned serious.

“Thank you, teacher.” Shi Sheng thanked him very politely, causing Bu Jingyun to feel surprised. ‘This woman could act so politely?’

Hobo Uncle magnanimously waved his hand, “No need to thank me. You’re still my student. While you’re in the Academy, this is my responsibility as your teacher.”

Hobo Uncle reminded her of a few more things to look out for before leaving in a hurry.

Now that all the important figures had left, the surrounding crowd also dispersed, though there were still a few who remained behind to point and gossip about Shi Sheng and Bu Jingyun. After all, it was hard to miss the angelic ‘beauty’ Bu Jingyun.

Shi Sheng’s eyes rolled in their sockets as she thought for a moment before tugging at Bu Jingyun’s sleeve. “Come on, I’ll take you to beat someone up.”

Bu Jingyun didn’t get the chance to raise any objections before he was dragged along by Shi Sheng. ‘Just where does this girl get so much strength from? Simply unthinkable!’

……

Jun Hanlin had left before the crowd had dispersed. Originally, he had planned to misdirect others into thinking that Shen Yaoguang was in cahoots with Nine Silences Hall, but his plans had been foiled. More accurately, she was cockier than expected.

Honestly speaking, this was the first time Jun Hanlin had encountered such an odd woman. No matter how many plots one hatched, if the intended victim didn’t act as expected, it was all for naught.

Jun Hanlin still wasn’t willing to give up. He didn’t believe he was unable to destroy this woman. ‘Can she still be so brazen if she doesn’t have any backing?’

Just when he had found his resolve, Jun Hanlin’s world turned black as he was stuffed into a sack. His body was numbed, and he couldn’t move a single muscle.

By the time he could once again see the light, his surroundings had changed; he was now in a forest clearing. The person who stood in front of him wasn’t one of his usual bullies like he had expected, but the person he had just been thinking about.

Shen Yaoguang!

“Seventh Prince, is it fun to play the pig to eat the tiger? Pity you got in over your head. Think I, Shi- Shen Yaoguang, am so easy to bully? Actually tried to manipulate public opinion against me, must’ve been fun ah!”

Jun Hanlin, “…”

Never had he expected that she would just outright kidnap him.

Jun Hanlin’s limbs were slowly regaining their ability to feel sensations, but he didn’t reveal any signs as he stared at her. “The Eldest Young Miss of the Shen Clan is truly out of the ordinary.”

“Like I needed you to tell me that.” Shi Sheng raised her chin. “Well, that’s enough nonsense. The drug’s going to wear off soon.”

Jun Hanlin felt like smashing his head against a wall, “…”

‘I was planning on stalling till it wore off! Why’d you have to say it out loud?!’

Shi Sheng turned to Bu Jingyun. “Where are your guys at? Call two of them out and get them to beat this guy up!”

Jun Hanlin followed Shi Sheng’s gaze to Bu Jingyun, who was currently standing with only his side facing him. Although Jun Hanlin could only see a profile, it was enough for him to make out that this man’s features were absolutely stunning…

“…Why don’t you do it yourself?”
