  “This cannot be….. How can it be…..” A panic suddenly overtook Ning Xin and Yin Yan hurried over to hold her up.

  “Senior Ning, what do we do now?” Yin Yan was truly terrified. He had already grown rather fearful of Jun Xie previously. Now, before everyone in the entire Zephyr Academy, Gu Li Sheng had severely criticised all the disciples of the Spirit Healer faculty to be incompetent. When he had admonished everyone for believing in the rumours so easily, all the disciples in the Spirit Healer faculty had naturally be included.

  After all, the disciples of the Spirit Healer faculty had been just as guilty in their cursing and swearing of Jun Xie!

  If Jun Xie had just been an ordinary disciple, things might not have gotten this bad, but Jun Xie had been the lone disciple that Gu Li Sheng personally acknowledged and valued heavily. With that in mind, Gu Li Sheng would not continue to instruct those disciples he had forced himself to accept previously as their Master any longer…..

  That thought alone, made Yin Yan tremble at the consequences.

  All that he had relied on all this time in the academy, had been his envied position in the Spirit Healer faculty…..

  If he was to lose that, he would end up…..

  “Fan Jin knew…..” Ning Xin suddenly caught Yin Yan’s arm in a vice grip, pulling herself upright.

  “Fan Jin had known it right from the start! He must have known! Or why would he have persisted to defend Jun Xie so many times!? Or why would he be willing to even risk his own reputation to ensure Jun Xie’s safety!? Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Because he had known it all this while! That Jun Xie was the disciple that Gu Li Sheng valued! Ha ha ha! Fan Jin, oh Fan Jin! I, Ning Xin has truly underestimated you!” A mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out from Ning Xin’s mouth. Everything had been smooth sailing for her in the academy all her life but ever since she met Jun Xie, she found herself faced with countless obstacle. All the schemes that she had taken great pains to plot were completely shredded and torn apart before they could take effect. She had prided herself to be highly intelligent, but now she had been reduced to become the biggest joke!

  A moment’s slip up, had caused her to lose all that she had!

  There was no longer a chance that Jun Xie would become the underdog anymore. With Gu Li Sheng behind him, it was no longer possible that Jun Xie would submit to her when he became the underdog that everyone despised.

  Her ploy to win Jun Xie over to her side had now evaporated entirely.

  While Fan Jin had supported Jun Xie right from from the beginning and they had established an unbreakable bond in their alliance!

  The knot that had formed in Ning Xin’s chest, almost suffocated her then.

  She stood there laughing hysterically, like she had lost her mind.

  Having witnessed Jun Xie’s ring spirit herself, Ning Xin would never be able to accept Fan Qi’s earlier explanation to be the truth.

  Tiny cat?

  For Heaven’s sake, that was a massive ferocious black beast!

  But that fact was known only to her and Yin Yan. Jun Xie had always only presented his ring spirit in the black cat’s form before everyone else, and even if the two of them had gone to tell everyone that Jun Xie’s ring spirit was in actuality not an ordinary black cat, they would never be believed.

  She had lost this time, she had lost really badly!

  Ning Xin’s hysterical laughter continued, as was the blood that flowed out from her mouth. The intense rage that wrecked at her heart and the utter sense of defeat that overwhelmed her caused Ning Xin to lose all calm and any conscious sense of decorum, her usual grace and genteel manners forgotten.

  Chapter 592: “Slapping the Mob (10)”

  Yin Yan stared at Ning Xin with fear in his eyes, and the terror was beginning to spread throughout his body.

  After today’s events, no one would be able to use anything from Jun Xie’s past to smear or slander him any longer.

  Gu Li Sheng had personally invited Jun Xie to return to the Spirit Healer faculty in such a grand fashion. Not a single one of them would dare go offend Jun Xie in the slightest now.

  Just for the sole fact that he was more knowledgeable than Gu Li Sheng in the Spirit Healing Technique was already enough to make everyone submit. Jun Xie’s status among the disciples of the Zephyr Academy had been elevated to a height that was unshakable. All those who had cursed and spat at his name, with those that had completely despised him as a person, had from today onwards, found their prior self justified reasons and weak excuses for doing so, completely smashed to smithereens. Just for the one glaring fact that Jun Xie had a full grasp of the Spirit Healing Technique had made everyone back off in deference, with not a single one among them daring to show him the slightest affront.

  Yin Yan raised his head to stare into the grey and overcast sky looming above him.

  A complete change had come over the Zephyr Academy, leaving a great mark on this day, that will be well remembered long into the future.

  The fear in Yin Yan filled his heart. He summoned all his courage and dragged Ning Xin, who was acting like she had lost her mind, along with him, to leave the deserted square.

  And after the duo left, an unnoticed skinny and ragged lone figure was left standing, far in one corner of the spacious plaza.

  Ah Jing’s face was pale, as he stared at the bare and empty square.

  He had clearly heard every last word that Gu Li Sheng and Fan Qi had said earlier. Just like everyone else, Ah Jing had come to the square with great anticipation, thinking that Jun Xie would be shamed and thrown out of the Zephyr Academy by Gu Li Sheng today. Never had he expected that he had come here today to hear the truth of the matter, a truth that he could not make himself believe in.

  Ah Jing suddenly found his legs buckling out under him and he fell to the ground. His fingers curled and his nails scratched upon the hard ground, leaving bright red blood trails on the floor.

  …..

  What was most humiliating was when the person you most despised, stepped upon your face pushing in into the ground.

  Although throughout the whole process, Jun Wu Xie had not said a single word, she had inadvertently trampled on all the faces of every single disciple and faculty member into the ground and had even stamped hard on a few of them.

  Jun Xie was “invited” back to the Spirit Healer faculty by Gu Li Sheng on that very same day, and all the existing disciples could only watch on with their faces paled as the duo walked in, and all the other disciples did not even dare to approach them a single step.

  Approach them?

  Their faces were still burning with shame.

  Their identities as disciples of the Spirit Healer faculty that they had been so proud of, had been exposed to be a farce and that Gu Li Sheng had been unwilling forced to grant them their discipleship due to the pressure from Fan Qi, the Headmaster.

  They had never gained Gu Li Sheng’s approval at all in the first place.

  But they had been completely ignorant and gone with the flow, and followed everyone else to scorn, ridicule and bash at Jun Xie’s name and reputation.

  They were just…..

  Utterly contemptible!

  Jun Wu Xie followed Gu Li Sheng into his office. Only upon the moment the door shut, was Gu Li Sheng able to relax his tightly tensed up body, and the hard lines on his face suddenly became gentle.

  “How was it? Was that an acceptable response to your request?” Gu Li Sheng asked, looking smilingly at Jun Xie. Today’s performance had been specially put together for Jun Xie’s sake and he hoped that would at least make up to Jun Xie in some way for the oppression he had undergone during this period.

  “Yes.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  Gu Li Sheng had put up a splendid show this time, and Jun Wu Xie was completely satisfied.

  “Ha ha. That’s great. This was the first time I created such a big stir.” Gu Li Sheng was finally able to swallow his heart back down that had been lodged in his throat all thi
s time. He had firstly decided to make such a grand show of it today to express his sincerity to Jun Xie, and also to fight for the sheer injustice that Jun Xie had suffered.

  Just by hearing those vicious rumours, would already cause much distress to many people. The fact that Jun Xie had been able to endure and bear up so well under all that pressure, had gained Jun Xie the utmost respect from Gu Li Sheng.

  If it had been anyone else, they would most definitely have jumped out to defend themselves at the first instance. Jun Xie had instead been able to take it in stride, and only exposed the truth of the matter after the task assigned to her was completed. That endless patience and stoic perseverance, made Gu Li Sheng admire the little lad all the more.

  Chapter 593: “Slapping the Mob (11)”

  “You should just come to the Spirit Healer faculty from today onwards. Of course, if you have anything else that you are busy with, you can just go ahead and do it. There is no need for you to inform me.” Gu Li Sheng was extremely polite with his words as both his hands were gripped tightly around the scroll that Jun Xie had given him previously. He had pored over it for the past one day and night, reading and rereading it, but he was still unable to fully grasp everything written in it and he was anxious to seek Jun Xie’s guidance.

  Gu Li Sheng allowed Jun Xie the highest autonomy and that was something he had never ever granted to any disciple before.

  But Jun Wu Xie deserved every single bit of that and all that she had received.

  She possessed the required capabilities and even when Gu Li Sheng provided her with the unprecedented privilege, not a single person dared raise a single voice in protest.

  Her capabilities had even developed the Spirit Healing Technique, bring it to a level above Gu Li Sheng’s!

  “I will need to leave for a few days after this.” Jun Wu Xie said softly, immediately stating she had other business to attend to.

  Gu Li Sheng panicked and tried to open his mouth. He had not expected that Jun Xie would have other things to attend to immediately…..

  He suddenly felt dejected, but he could not renege on his own words.

  His heart winced the more he thought about it.

  “Cough….. So, how many days will you be gone?” Gu Li Sheng was looking rather awkward. He had really wanted Jun Xie to explain in more detail what he had written in the scroll.

  “Not long.” Jun Wu Xie replied.

  The show has not ended, and she needed to go complete it. Otherwise, everyone will miss the climax she had planned for them.

  “Alright, you go attend to your business then. Once you are finished, can you come back here and look for me? Actually….. about this….. scroll you handed to me….. there is one portion recorded….. in here, that I do not really understand.” Gu Li Sheng’s face was red with embarrassment. He did not think it was entirely appropriate for a fully grown middle aged man to have to come seeking guidance from a little youth like this. It made him feel rather….. awkward and abashed.

  But his obsession with the Spirit Healing Technique forced those words to spill out from his mouth.

  Jun Wu Xie stared at Gu Li Sheng. Those penetrating eyes seemed to be saying to him: “It’s something so simple, and you can’t understand it?”.

  Gu Li Sheng turned a brighter shade under that gaze.

  “Alright.” As Gu Li Sheng’s face was turning redder and redder, Jun Wu Xie finally replied to agree.

  Gu Li Sheng nodded with a smile on his face.

  “This is the jade emblem of the Spirit Healer faculty. Keep it well.” Gu Li Sheng presented the jade emblem of the Spirit Healer faculty before Jun Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head instead.

  Gu Li Sheng was suddenly confused.

  “After today’s events, no one will still be unaware of my identity.” Jun Wu Xie replied softly. The jade emblem’s purpose was meant to show the other disciples which faculty the holders of the emblem belonged to. But now that Gu Li Sheng had rocked and shook up the entire academy when he had severely berated every single one of them in their faces today, Jun Wu Xie sincerely believed, that her face would henceforth become a more obvious and prominent proof of her position in the academy than any other emblems that Gu Li Sheng could give her.

  “That’s true.” Gu Li Sheng slipped the jade piece back into his sleeves.

  Gu Li Sheng could not help himself and held Jun Xie back to ask a few questions about some parts of the scroll that he was not too clear about. It was quite a while later when he finally let Jun Xie leave.

  Jun Wu Xie stepped out from Gu Li Sheng’s office. When she descended the stairs and reached the atrium downstairs, she saw a bunch of Spirit Healer faculty disciples huddled together. They were hiding in a corner, as they peeked warily at her.

  “Jun….. Jun Xie…..” One of the youths among them was suddenly pushed out from the group, and he stuttered as he looked guiltily at Jun Xie.

  When they thought back to the numerous times they had gossiped and pointed at Jun Xie behind his back, they were deeply ashamed of themselves and they were feeling extremely awkward to face Jun Xie again. But…..

  Gu Li Sheng held Jun Xie in the highest regard and if Jun Xie held grudges against them, they wouldn’t be able to survive in the Spirit Healer faculty thereafter.

  All the disciples of the Spirit Healer faculty did not doubt for a moment, that if Jun Xie was to ask Gu Li Sheng to expel all of them out of the Spirit Healer faculty, Gu Li Sheng would not hesitate to do it in the slightest.

  Volume 6

  Chapter 594: “Seventh Slap (1)”

  Even after knowing that Gu Li Sheng had been forced to accept them as disciples, the youths nevertheless still greatly cherished their identity as a disciple of the Spirit Healer faculty and would do anything to retain their positions.

  They were very reluctant to lose them.

  “Sor….. Sorry….. We were dumb and naive to have believed those baseless rumours. I hope you can find it within your generous heart to forgive people as despicable as us! Please forgive us all!” The youth formally took a ninety degree bow, pleading for Jun Xie’s forgiveness.

  The rest of the disciples behind him, all bowed as well.

  Jun Wu Xie cast them a glance, and did not even say a single word, before she proceeded to continue walking away.

  The bunch of youths waited a long while in their spots with their backs bent and did not get a reply. When they raised their heads, they found that Jun Xie had already walked out through the Spirit Healer faculty’s main doors without giving them the least bit of attention! The world crashed down upon them at that moment, and they sobbed at the impending loss to come.

  “What…. What should we do….. Does that mean he….. won’t forgive us?” The youths huddled close together and cried, visualising the inevitable sorry scene of them being chased out of the Spirit Healer faculty.

  Jun Wu Xie was completely oblivious to the indescribable bind the disciples were caught in and was already making her way back to the bamboo grove.

  Along the way, countless pairs of eyes were trained on that slowly moving petite figure. Every single one of those gazes that fell upon Jun Wu Xie were no longer laced with contempt or mockery like before, but replaced with deep shame and a sense of fear.

  When they see Jun Xie now, it invariably reminded them all of the shame they had felt that morning when Gu Li Sheng and Fan Qi had slapped them all with their admonishments, and none of them dared to take a single step to approach Jun Xie.

  Hiding their faces from the shame they felt, the disciples slung away and hid like mice
into corners. As for those disciples that happened to come face to face with Jun Xie, they found the strength suddenly leaving their legs when they saw the petite figure, trying their fastest to scramble out of his way.

  Jun Wu Xie did not seem to notice, paying them no attention as she continued on her way to the bamboo grove.

  In the bamboo grove, Fan Jin was excitedly recounting the morning’s glorious events to Fan Zhuo. Fan Jin’s face was flushed and his voice was exhilarated, how he wished was able to reenact the whole scene that played out at the square that morning.

  Fan Zhuo smiled and did not say a word, but his eyes were lit, sparkling with joy.

  “Hee hee….. You should have seen it. It was really most exhilarating! You remember that grumpy teacher, Qian Yuan He? The one in the Beast Spirit faculty? He had previously gone all around telling everyone about all of Jun Xie’s faults. Today, Uncle Gu’s words almost made him want to go smash his head on the wall to kill himself in shame, it made me so happy then….. Ha ha ha…..” Fan Jin was getting more animated the further he narrated. He had suddenly brought two big jars of wine here to celebrate his good mood today on this rare occasion.

  Besides Jun Wu Xie, the next person who was happiest about today’s turn of events was inexorably Fan Jin.

  In that gloomy period, Jun Xie had suffered the endless curses and got herself viciously sworn at. But on the other hand, Fan Jin, who had been the one who had given everything he had to protect Jun Wu Xie while being privy to the truth behind it all had had an extremely hard time holding it all in to the point of almost bursting.

  “Little Xie, you’re back!” The moment Fan Jin saw Jun Wu Xie come in, he jumped up excitedly and his tall and towering frame swayed and tilted from having stood up too suddenly. Fan Zhuo nimbly stretched out an arm to lend his brother some support.

  Jun Wu Xie sat down at the table and looked at the slightly tipsy Fan Jin.
