Token

Chapter 25 Token

Ye Jingqiu was not one to bully others by virtue of her power, but she was not someone to be easily bullied either!

The teacher hadn't taken Ye Jingqiu's words to heart, but when his gaze fell on the thing in his arms, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked up at Ye Jingqiu in disbelief.

Ye Jingqiu spoke slowly and deliberately, "Teacher, so what if I hit you?"

Ye Jingqiu tossed him a token from the Spirit Hall, but this token was no ordinary one; it was engraved with six lifelike patterns.

Sword, hammer, crown, an incomplete humanoid figure, a dragon, a chrysanthemum.

This was given to her by Yue Guan when she left the Papal Palace. He said that if she encountered any trouble, she should take out this token, although Ye Jingqiu did not know what the token was for.

But it was clear that Yue Guan was right; the token had solved his problem.

At this moment, the teacher was noticeably more respectful towards Ye Jingqiu. Only six people had this token, and a small character was engraved on the bottom of the token: Chrysanthemum.

This is Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's token. He doesn't think Ye Jingqiu could steal it, after all, it belongs to a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

She must have received this token from Chrysanthemum Douluo. Although he doesn't know her exact identity, she is someone he can't afford to offend.

Song Baiyu and the others stood behind their teacher, and because of the angle, they couldn't see what he put in Ye Jingqiu's hand. They only noticed that the teacher's attitude had clearly changed 180 degrees.

The teacher nodded slightly to Ye Jingqiu, then quickly walked to Shuang Zuozuo's side to check on Shuang Youyou's condition.

"How could this happen?" Xie Yue told the teacher the whole story in detail.

"What? You're saying the teacher who's supposed to be protecting you has disappeared?"

Xie Yue nodded slightly. "We haven't seen him since he left the academy."

The teacher's expression suddenly turned serious. "This is a big deal. Don't worry, the academy will definitely investigate thoroughly. If someone is indeed behind this, the academy will not let them off the hook."

Ye Jingqiu glanced at it indifferently, "I hope the academy can keep its word."

"That's natural." A few beads of sweat appeared on the teacher's forehead. He then said, "This was an accident. We'll release the rankings after we've investigated the whole story."

Song Baiyu and the others were naturally unwilling. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, we returned first after completing the task, so we are naturally number one. Is there any objection?"

"This is a matter for the academy," the teacher said sternly.

Ye Jingqiu's eyes met Song Baiyu's gaze, but her expression remained unchanged in the face of her resentful stare.

"Has Song forgotten our bet?"

Song Baiyu's face instantly turned ugly. When he competed with Ye Jingqiu, they made it clear that if Song Baiyu lost, he would have to publicly apologize to Ye Jingqiu and promise to stay far away from them in the future.

"Are you sure you want me to apologize to you?" Song Baiyu asked incredulously.

"What? You can't accept defeat?"

Song Baiyu bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with hatred that seemed about to overflow. "I'm sorry, I will stay far away from you from now on."

After saying this, Song Baiyu turned and left without paying attention to anyone.

Ye Jingqiu and the others left in the opposite direction.

Hu Liena tugged at Ye Jingqiu's sleeve and asked curiously, "What did you give the teacher just now?"

"It was given to me by my elders." Her tone was indifferent, and Hu Liena nodded thoughtfully.

……

The college's investigation results came out quickly.

The supervising teacher neglected his duties, resulting in the death of a student. He was expelled and will never be rehired. He was also taken away by the Spirit Hall's Department of Justice. As for what punishment he will receive, the Department of Justice will decide according to the rules.

An investigation revealed that the dagger on the thousand-year-old soul beast came from Zhang Wanhao, but due to the lack of other evidence, he was ultimately sentenced to probation.

Shuang Zuozuo was dissatisfied with the verdict, but she approached the college's senior leaders many times without getting the result she wanted.

Finally, having no other choice, she sought out Xie Yue and the others again.

At this moment, they are having a meeting in a small conference room to discuss their second mission, which is no simpler than the last one.

The seven men survived for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under the attack of a Soul Master.

They started arguing fiercely about tactics.

A heavy knocking sounded from outside the door.

Song Liyang stepped forward and opened the door. Shuang Zuozuo ran directly to Ye Jingqiu and knelt down in front of him before anyone could react.

The latest novel is first published here!

"What...what are you doing?" Ye Jingqiu was clearly flustered and reached out to help Shuang Zuozuo up.

"Please, please help me. My sister's death can't just end like this. I beg you." As she spoke, she prepared to kowtow to Ye Jingqiu, but she was startled and quickly stood up.

"What are you doing?" she asked after a pause. "If you keep doing this, I won't help you anymore."

"Thank you." Shuang Zuozuo cried tears of joy. She reached into her pocket, took out a letter, and handed it to Ye Jingqiu. "This is the threatening letter Zhang Wanhao wrote to us before. It might come in handy."

Shuang Zuozuo did not linger; she left immediately after Ye Jingqiu received the letter.

From beginning to end, Lu Si'en, who was sitting next to Ye Jingqiu, never took his eyes off her. At first, she could have thought it was just her imagination, but now she was certain that Lu Si'en was a spy specifically designed to target her.

From being initially frustrated, Ye Jingqiu has gradually begun to get used to it.

……

Back in the dormitory, Hu Liena looked at Ye Jingqiu with a worried expression. "It's really a pity about Shuang Youyou's situation, but Qiuqiu's matter concerns the academy. They are nobles, and the academy's punishment for them is already quite severe. You'd better not get involved in this."

Ye Jingqiu seemed to have been amused and lowered his head to laugh silently. "Nana, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Hu Liena sighed and said, "Qiuqiu, I know your identity is extraordinary, but no one can challenge the authority of the Spirit Hall, no one."

Hu Liena looked at Ye Jingqiu's serious face, paused for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, Nana."

After Hu Liena went out to wash up, Ye Jingqiu picked up the letter that Shuang Zuozuo had given her.

The words on it were crooked and somewhat ugly, but the general meaning was that if either of them won against Zhang Fanghao in the competition, they would have to pay a price.

Ye Jingqiu put the letter away and sneered. These people really are friends. Even when threatening people, these noble children use the same trick, just a different name for the same thing.

Ye Jingqiu gripped the envelope tightly, his gaze somewhat gloomy.
