Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 17

Initially, this matter was quite simple. Jiang Xiu had hit the Director of Student Affairs, and hence, ought to be expelled without any margin for discussion. The problem was that the casualty, Teacher Wang, was adamant on saying that he'd fallen down. This made the matter inconvenient to handle. The school just couldn't put the criminal charge of hitting a teacher baselessly over Jiang Xiu's head as he naturally wouldn't accept it, and they also couldn't pass it to the Bureau of Education.

But now, it was different. No matter whether it was the Ye family or the Cheng family, those over at the Bureau of Education were all respectful towards them. If there were any further problems, they'd be handled by the two families.

"Student Cheng Lingsu." Qin Lin began. "Feel relieved. Our school is taking this matter very seriously. This matter's bad influence not only affects the top students preparing for college, but also affects the personal safety of the teachers in Second High."

"It is utter nonsense. A student beating a teacher is simply unprincipled. All the teachers of the school have expressed their intentions, saying that they are unwilling to go to class, especially to Class No. 5 of 12th Grade which Jiang Xiu studies in."

"How is headmaster planning to handle this?" Cheng Lingsu asked.

Qin Lin muttered to himself, saying, "Monday, on top of the flag hoisting platform, I'll make him apologise towards all the students and teachers in front of everyone, to make him realise his mistakes. Afterwards, the school will publicly declare his expulsion. It doesn't matter whether he's a 12th Grade student or whether it's close to the college entrance examination. The school has zero tolerance towards this violent event."

Although this sounded cruel towards a student, this punishment was already light when considering the mistake Jiang Xiu had made. This matter actually involved a criminal act, so he should've been imprisoned. Just expelling him was already regarded as letting him off easily.

Cheng Lingsu said, "That's for the best."

When he's expelled, he'll know what kind of society this society is. What kind of role will he be able to play in the society again? He'll understand then that a human can't resist a river's current and that his only way is to remove the engagement, only then will he regain his student registration here.

Jiang Xiu… Ahh.. Jiang Xiu, you and I are persons of two different worlds. Wanting to climb up the social ladder is simply inviting trouble to yourself.

"I won't be disturbing the Headmaster then."

Cheng Lingsu was quite satisfied regarding the Headmaster's decision. She just had to wait for the next week, that's the general assembly at school on Monday morning.

The outcome could be seen at that time.

In a blink, Monday had arrived!

According to the convention, on the Monday of each week, the school holds a flag hoisting ceremony, and everyone had to stand on the playground in ranks. The Headmaster or the Director of Student Affairs would then give a speech lasting around half-an-hour.

Today was the same as usual. Everyone was somewhat sleepy as they walked towards the playground in groups of threes and fives.

Jiang Xiu was also among the crowd.

The matter which happened at the Martial Arts Building hadn't given rise to any disturbance and was even forgotten. It was mainly because the Martial Arts Division received quite low attention. If Jiang Xiu had instead crushed his opponents in a basketball competition or a soccer competition, he'd have already become a famous campus personage, becoming the school's man of the moment. The skills he revealed at the Martial Arts Building hadn't reached the degree that it would be brought to the attention of the Director of Student Affairs.

In fact, the persons who'd come to the Martial Arts Building yesterday were few in number. Were it not for Teacher Gu Xi personally grabbing a few people, it might have been possible that no one would've come to cheer. They'd have slept in their bedrooms like Jiang Xiu or gone outside to visit an internet cafe. Even the Class monitor Chen Yuyang usually goes somewhere, while Ye Bing and Liu Xiaoyun looked for a place to drink coffee. Only idiots would go look at a competition unrelated to them.

"Jiang Xiu, wait!"

A 50-year-old female teacher called him.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Xiu had a little impression about her, she was the school's vice-headmaster. She also used to give a lecture on the platform on Mondays, and they were never ending.

Her family name should be Wei, Teacher Wei!

"You don't need to stand in the ranks for today's general assembly. Go over there and stand to the side of the platform." Teacher Wei's gaze was filled with despise as if Jiang Xiu was some kind of dirty thing.

When Jiang Xiu was on Immortal Martial Continent, even Sovereigns had to kneel down and offer respect to him. And now, even a teacher could admonish him. This made him quite angry, yet he had no choice but to listen.

His current identity was that of a student.

"Why?"

Teacher Wei laughed strangely. "You have the face to ask that? You don't know what kind of mistake you've committed? Think about it properly and then give a deep apology in front of all the members of the school."

Jiang Xiu said, "What apology do you want this Deity to give?"

Teacher Wei glared in anger, "You hit a teacher and even try to reason?"

"If you don't give a deep apology, including to me, all the teachers of Second High won't come to classes. If you're here, we don't feel safe, then how can we teach?"

Jiang Xiu just gave an 'oh' as a response.

"Think about it carefully…" After saying this, Teacher Wei didn't bother with Jiang Xiu anymore and turned back to leave. When the students on the side saw her, all of them called out to greet her.

Jiang Xiu's line of sight searched the crowd and was astonished to find the Director of Student Affairs, Wang Xuebin, far away. Didn't this guy have a cerebral concussion? And weren't his ribs broken? He still came to school like that?

Only, his sorry appearance was completely genuine.

"Does he know that the school wants me to apologise during the general assembly?"

Jiang Xiu thought that it was possible that he knew and also possible that he didn't, but no matter what, he also couldn't stop it. The issue of hitting the teacher was already known to everyone, and even if he declared that it was a lie, the classroom and many people had seen it very clearly with their very own eyes. The school could never ignore this matter.

Perhaps, even Wang Xuebin was forced to attend by the school. According to normal circumstances, he ought to have been either at the hospital or at home, taking rest.

"This Deity wants to see how you handle me!"

Jiang Xiu went to the platform as Teacher Wei told him and he passed by the 12th Grade Class No. 1 while doing so. Cheng Lingsu had somehow appeared beside him.

"The headmaster will publically expel you today." Cheng Lingsu had already thrown wind to caution today and spoke to him in public, "There's still enough time for you to have regrets. I have the contract with me. If only you sign it, the Headmaster will withdraw."

"Everyone who has ever threatened this Deity has all had bad ends."

He didn't even spare a glance towards Cheng Lingsu.

Jiang Xiu walked to the platform in large strides. If it were a student going up to face criticism, they'd drop their head down. But he was different, not speaking of the fact that he walked there in large strides, he did so in an impressive way. Those unaware might even think he was going up to accept a prize.

His hands were placed behind, as he walked with a monarch's grace.

Anyhow, it was awe-inspiring than all the teachers present there.

Everyone also took notice of Jiang Xiu on the platform and had already heard that he'd hit a teacher, even did so ruthlessly. As for the brothers and sisters from 10th and 11th Grades, they didn't know about the matter and were somewhat curiously sizing him up.

"I estimate that Jiang Xiu will suffer this time!" Lin Xiaoyun within the crowd stated.

Ye Bing said, "He won't get expelled, right?" Although this girl didn't like Jiang Xiu and even disliked him, he was also her classmate, so her heart couldn't bear seeing him getting expelled miserably.

"He hit a teacher, why won't he get expelled?" One of the female students to the side asked.

At another side in the ranks of 12th Grade's Class No.1, Cheng Lingsu had already returned to the ranks, panting with rage. "I see that you won't repent until you face the consequences."

"Don't blame me. You brought it on yourself."

She wore a school uniform today, but even an ordinary uniform couldn't hide her natural beauty. Instead, it added more to her charm as a pure campus queen, drawing all sorts of gazes.

To other class students, the only matter worth looking forward to on Monday's flag hoisting general assembly was to take a glance at Cheng Lingsu from afar.

Some even dared to stare at her secretly, while a few were even more courageous, directly staring at her.

But right now, Cheng Lingsu only had Jiang Xiu in her eyes.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Headmaster Qin Lin personally held the microphone to give the speech. He adopted a bitter and hateful expression, "Students, two days back, that's on Saturday last week, a grave affair had happened on the school's premises. It was an unprecedented malignant event, and the details so much worse they would make a person's hair stand."

Hearing that the matter was so grave, all the uninterested students began to take an interest in the subject.

"What happened?"

"You still don't know? The Director of Student Affairs was beaten by a 12th Grade Senior."

"Dayum, really? That senior is amazing."

Wang Xuebin's popularity was really bad.

"You must surely want to know what has happened in Second High," Qin Lin continued over the whispers. "The best school in Jiang City. You wouldn't believe it even if I described it, even I don't dare believe it myself, that such a matter has happened at our school."

Qin Lin said with grief, "Our teacher, our respected Teacher Wang Xuebin was beaten by a student. It was so bad that his head was bleeding!"

Everyone looked towards Wang Xuebin, a white gauze was still wound over his head, and paired with his ugly face, he really seemed miserable.

"And do you know who the culprit is? Its… 12th Grade Class No. 5's Jiang Xiu!" Qin Lin announced Jiang Xiu's name, wishing he could smash the microphone. "I've taught for so long, but have never seen such a vile student. It was really hair-raising that such a pest was studying at our Second High."

"The school has decided to punish Jiang Xiu accordingly, so he's expelled!"

Whoo. The entire place was in an uproar.
