Chapter 1036: The So-Called Truth
When Yun Chujiu said that, an expression of grief and indignation appeared on her face. “Headmaster, we went through so much to get into Tianyuan Academy. We thought that this was a place of learning and education. Who would have thought that there would be rotten behavior from its students?! Ma Sheng and the others are not our instructors, and they are not our elders. Why do we have to give them money to be filial?”
“Besides, if we need to kneel, it’d only be to our parents or elders, why should we kneel to them?”
“As for the third point, it’s even more absurd. This isn’t a brothel, and we female students aren’t prostitutes, so why should we be forced to ‘entertain’ them?!”
Yun Chujiu’s words were filled with grief and indignation. When the students of the Huang Class thought of the humiliation they had suffered, their eyes turned red and their faces were also filled with grief.
Amongst the surrounding students, some had been robbed by the older students. When they recalled what had happened back then, they all revealed similar expressions of discontent. Just why should we give them money as a gift? Being a victim of those bad students made people angry.
Yun Chujiu stole a glance at Dean Huangfu’s expression. When she saw his brow slightly furrow, she felt relieved. She continued, “Even though we were very angry after hearing what Ma Sheng and the others said, we thought that peace was the most important thing and begged them bitterly to let us go. We didn’t expect that the responses we received were even worse ridicule and more insults. They even threatened that if we didn’t give them the money, we would never be able to return to our dorms.
“We really couldn’t take it anymore, so we decided to force our way through. We didn’t expect them to act so shamelessly, saying that if we dared to touch them, they would get us expelled from the academy! At that time, I also lost my cool. I felt that Tianyuan Academy was the best academy in the Tianyuan Continent. How could they allow such a scoundrel to study here?!
“Thus, I wanted to argue with Ma Sheng, but I didn’t expect him to actually use foul language and even touch us. The students of the Huang Class couldn’t stand it anymore, so they started arguing with him. No one knew who made the first move, so everyone started fighting.
“Director, I admit that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fought back. I should have looked for the disciplinary department to settle the matter, but I don’t regret it. Do we have to swallow our anger when we encounter such abuse of power and injustice? I’m willing to accept any punishment you give me. However, the other members of the Huang Class are involved in this because they want to help me. They didn’t do anything wrong. I, Yun Chujiu, am willing to shoulder the responsibility for this matter alone.”
After Yun Chujiu finished her explanation, she straightened her small body and looked as if she was ready to face death.
When the Huang Class students saw that Yun Chujiu had taken all the responsibility, they were extremely touched, they shouted one after another, “Principal, please punish us! The class monitor offended Ma Sheng because of us. The class monitor is innocent! It was all because of Ma Sheng’s lousy attitude that we had no choice but to resist!”
Even some of the surrounding students also shouted, “Yun Chujiu is innocent! That Ma Sheng robbing the freshmen is shameless to the extreme! Even if we want to expel anyone, it has to be him!”
“That’s right! That Ma Sheng isn’t anything to begin with. Scum like him should have been expelled from the Tianyuan Academy long ago!”
“And that Instructor Qi, he always defends Ma Sheng without investigating. There must be something fishy going on!”
“And that Ma Minghua can’t get away with it either! They are the ones who should leave!”
…
Dean Huangfu took a deep look at Yun Chujiu and saw that she had a righteous look on her face. He thought to himself, ‘This little girl is really intelligent. If I were to expel her now, it would inevitably cause public anger, but if I did not, what use were the academy’s rules?’
