Chapter 258 - 258. Punishment For Fei Lin
"Again, Master has helped me a lot. I don't want to bring new trouble to you Master."
"So I thought, I'd better leave Fei Lin to you, Master," she said again.
Elder Bao was stunned on the spot, he never expected to hear such words from his only disciple.
A sigh of relief sounded from his mouth.
The feeling of a heavy burden that he had been carrying just a moment ago seemed to disappear along with the words of his disciple, Fu Xie Lan.
Meanwhile, Fei Lin who was still lying on the ground heard all the conversation very clearly.
Feelings of shame and anger mixed within her, looking around her, all the students looked at her... pity? In Fei Lin's entire life, this was the first time she had received this kind of treatment, being in that position, made her extremely embarrassed. If only she could, she wanted to disappear on the spot right then and there.
All the confidence she had felt before vanished, seeing Wan Lie holding the woman there made her heart filled with envy.
Fei Lin coughed once more, a mouthful of blood escaped from her mouth and managed to give the ground a contrasting color.
Not only that, the thing that angered her the most was the masked figure whose name she knew was Fu Xie Lan.
Everything that reached her sense of hearing disgusted her.
How could a previously weak figure be as strong as now and do this to her? Also, her guess is wrong, previously, she thinks that the figure who wears the mask is a man, but it's a girl?
If only she had stronger strength than them, maybe she wouldn't have received this kind of treatment.
Vomited blood and almost met her death, Fei Lin felt that she was the victim in this situation.
Whereas in reality, without even mentioning it, the people had seen that she was the culprit.
Whereas the students who had helped Fei Lin earlier had now disappeared from there, choosing to stay as far away as possible. Even the two female friends who always followed her were also nowhere to be found.
"What's going on here?" a voice was heard again.
Up there, right up in the air, Elder Chen standing on his staff stared at the crowd of disciples that filled the area below. His blue robes flared against the cardinal directions.
He slowly flew low, and then landed smoothly right behind Huang Bao, and walked over to the old man.
"Ah, you happen to be here," Elder Bao replied seeing his best friend already beside him.
"Fei Lin, what happened to you?" asked Elder Chen as his eyes caught the figure of the disciple who was still sitting on the ground with bloodstains filling the corners of his lips.
One of his eyebrows raised then turned his gaze to the surroundings.
"Are you making into trouble again?" asked Elder Chen.
A harsh gasp sounded from his mouth, "You know, this is the tenth time you've caused trouble. And I've warned you many times," said Elder Chen.
"Looks like this time someone replies what you've been doing all this time," Elder Chen added again.
"Hopefully with this, your bad character will change," he added.
"Now, come with me!"
All this time, Elder Chen had already given the female disciple some leeway. And it was because of that treatment that seemed to make Fei Lin even worse.
Even though he was just a librarian at the phoenyx academy, that didn't mean he didn't have responsibilities to the students there.
And since he had found Fei Lin making into trouble more often than the other teachers, he felt like he should give that student a little punishment.
Leaving it to the magician in charge of keeping the academy safe wasn't enough to give him a deterrent effect. So he decided to punish her himself.
It was not without reason that Elder Chen did that because he had previously handed over Fei Lin to the authorities, but that could not change her behavior. And continued to cause trouble at the academy.
Hearing that, Fei Lin just kept quiet, trying to get up from her position, the robe she was wearing was dirty, dirt and a few bits of dry leaves seemed to stick to the ends.
That gaze filled with hatred seemed to be skinning Fu Xie Lan right then and there. Hearing from the previous conversation, she wasn't too stupid to judge who the figure behind the silver mask was. Just hearing her call to Elder Huang Bao as 'Master' made her recognize her right away.
"Do you know what's going on here?" asked Huang Bao looking at Elder Chen.
"I don't know, but seeing Fei Lin here, makes me believe that she's causing trouble again," Elder Chen replied with a sigh of breath.
"I didn't know, it turns out that you're that close to the disciples here," said Elder Bao chuckling.
"Then take her with you and discipline her," he added.
"We're sorry for what happened here, then I'll excuse myself," he said, bowing slightly to Lord Gu Yi, made one of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows rise at the old man's behavior.
"You're disbanded!" Elder Chen ordered the disciples who were still there.
"You are not allowed to spread the matter that happened today to the other students. Do you guys understand?" he added again.
As soon as his sentence was finished, all the students who were there saluted and then took a step back, leaving the place.
Not even a minute was enough, and the place was as empty as before, leaving only Huang Bao, Fu Xie Lan, and Gu Yi, while Fei Lin was already trailing behind Elder Chen.
Not a single disciple was visible within twenty meters of sight, all of them withdrew and returned to their respective activities according to Elder Chen's instructions.
As for Ju Xian, the young man was also nowhere to be found, because he followed Wan Lie who brought Xue Ning back to Elder Chen's residence.
"Young Master… Ahem, I mean Wan Lie said that Master was looking for me?" said Elder Bao to Gu Yi, after only the three of them were left behind.
"Not me, but Xie Lan," replied the man with his arms wrapped around the girl's body from the side.
And all of that treatment did not go unnoticed by Elder Huang Bao.
Gu Yi had indeed been looking for Huang Bao before when Fu Xie Lan was in pain. However, since his little Wife had recovered he didn't need the old man anymore.
"Really? How are you now, little girl?"
"Wan Lie told me everything. That's why I rushed here immediately," said Huang Bao.
"Does your body still feel pain?"
Fu Xie Lan who heard her Master's words smiled gently.
"I'm fine, Master. Don't worry," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"Wan Lie said that your body aches a lot? Is that true?"
"Oh, it's probably because my body is exhausted, Master. Don't worry. I'm fine now," she replied.
