Chapter 2019: Please Go Ahead
Elder Yu said with a sullen face, “We originally wanted to escort you to the Enforcement Hall first and then investigate.”
Xi Yue couldn’t help but snicker, “I’ve never heard of anyone getting sent to the Enforcement Hall and not getting punished. Besides, you already kicked Meng Zisu out of the academy—what’s left to investigate? Isn’t it obvious you decided we were guilty from the start?”
Just then, one of the enforcers standing guard over Wang Hai spoke up as well, “If there isn’t enough evidence, the Enforcement Hall won’t make any arrests. Once Mr. Wang recovers from his injuries, we’ll check with him before making a final decision.”
Elder Yu and the others looked downright stormy—”gloomy” didn’t even begin to cover it.
Especially with so many students watching, the moment Xi Yue said, “They just didn’t want to hand over the six Soul Essence Fruits,” people immediately started shooting looks their way.
Someone from Class Three of the Water Medicine Department even deliberately raised their voice and said, “So that’s what this is about? They didn’t want to pay our instructor, huh? No wonder you’re stooping so low, trying to slander and kick him out! You even accuse our instructor of having a thing with Zisu? Then show us some proof! Anyone can make stuff up without evidence! I could say that certain people surnamed Yu and Liang are secretly involved too!”
Just as Elder Yu was about to lose it, Mei Shuhai suddenly sneered. “Who said there’s no evidence?”
He turned to Elder Yu and leaned forward respectfully. “Elder Yu, since Meng Zisu once spent the night in Xi Yue’s room, and the two were involved in an improper relationship, I’m sure there must be traces of it left behind. If we search Xi Yue’s quarters, we’ll find decisive evidence.”
Elder Yu met Mei Shuhai’s deep, unreadable gaze, then immediately nodded with a smile. “Let’s go search Xi Yue’s courtyard right now. You don’t have any objections to that, do you, Xi Yue?”
Xi Yue replied with a faint, mocking smile, “Be my guest.”
…
Meng Zisu from Class Three of the Water Medicine Department was rumored to have an illicit relationship with her instructor, Xi Yue. All the instructors in Heavenly Medical Valley—including the enforcers from the Enforcement Hall—were heading off to search Xi Yue’s residence.
This news was like a hurricane that swept through the entire outer sect of the medical academy, leaving everyone shocked and scrambling to watch the drama unfold.
In addition, with so many instructors also going to see how things would play out, classes were canceled. So, everyone from the Medical Department started flooding toward the instructors’ quarters.
Song Zhen was feeling nervous when he walked into the medical academy.
He wanted to see that young woman again and asked her something. But every time he thought of the despair in her eyes at the edge of the cliff, he remembered her heart-wrenching scream—”Don’t touch me!”—a wave of unease and dread would wash over him.
Just as he was hesitating over whether to grab someone and ask where Meng Zisu was, he suddenly noticed that everyone in the academy was running in the same direction.
Some people were even shouting as they ran, “Hurry up! A forbidden romance between teacher and student—this kind of scandal has never happened in all of Heavenly Medical Valley’s history! If we miss it, we’ll definitely regret it. Come on! Let’s go see the drama!”
“Wait for me! I’m coming too! Geez, what was Meng Zisu even thinking? Why would she fall for a teacher? Aren’t instructors usually old guys with graying beards?”
“Tch, you seriously need to get out more. Sure, most instructors might be old geezers, but Xi Yue is a 19-year-old medical prodigy. He is better-looking than most girls, practically flawless! Honestly, if it were me, I’d fall for him too. What is wrong with a student-teacher romance anyway? I actually think they make a great couple!”
“Is this true? A 19-year-old Divine Doctor? I must go and see him!”
Song Zhen’s expression shifted. A student-teacher romance? Meng Zisu?
