Next, I Will Swear... I Am a Dog! I Am a Dog! Woof Woof Woof~

Lin Yu froze.

For some reason, the earnest teachings between those lines gave him the urge to cry.

He really had been thrown into detention for beating someone up and suffered a huge loss.

He felt miserable enough to cry.

Put down his martial arts and focus on studying?

But if he stopped cultivating... how was he supposed to become stronger?

Although his master, Lin Xiaotian, was usually highly unreliable, he took Lin Yu's cultivation very seriously.

Since it was Master's instruction... then of course I had to obey!

Lin Yu thought it over carefully. His hostility did seem far too heavy; he was always beating people up at the drop of a hat... That habit really needed changing.

Though he felt that something about this seemed a little off, his master's teachings had indeed benefited him greatly.

For the time being... he would stop cultivating his internal martial arts.

To cultivate, one had to cultivate the heart first!

Meanwhile, Jiang Che sat cross-legged on his bed.

As he contemplated the lightness skill he had just obtained today, Jiang Che's talent proved quite decent. In just one night, he had already gotten started with this lightness skill.

He had reached the state of being as light as a swallow. To put it plainly... he had more energy when running now, and could climb eighteen floors in one breath without even panting.

A moment later, Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Of course, the words he had left for Lin Yu in the cave abode had been written by him!

Why the hell was Lin Yu still cultivating? Hurry up and stop grinding!

Let me grind a little longer!

He was just like those college students cramming like mad in their dorms when finals drew near.

Just then, Jiang Che received a message on his phone.

"Oh? Lin Yu was actually bailed out?"

"Pfft... He really barked like a dog? Hahaha... Peeping at Widow Wang while she bathed? I'm dying!"

Naturally, Jiang Che was also the culprit behind the electronic door.

After laughing, the smile on Jiang Che's face gradually faded, replaced by a deep, unfathomable look.

He had already figured out how to mess with Lin Yu.

Heh heh heh~

Jiang Che returned to school.

He noticed Ye Mengyao... She seemed to have spent the entire morning with her head lowered, doing homework.

Could this girl... have been rattled by something?

Just then, their homeroom teacher, Zhu Yong, walked in.

"There won't be class next period. The whole school will gather on the field for an assembly! Lin Yu's self-criticism meeting!"

Zhu Yong's expression was clearly unpleasant. After Lin Yu's incident had blown up, his career as grade director was basically over.

The classroom erupted into discussion.

After Zhu Yong left, Jiang Che stroked his chin and revealed a wicked smile.

Then he called Liu Tie and Wang Zheng over.

"Young Master Jiang, what is it?"

"Young Master Jiang, Monkey and I will follow your lead without hesitation!"

Jiang Che's gaze remained calm as he took out a USB drive.

"Take this. When the meeting starts... while Lin Yu is delivering his apology before the entire school, go to the broadcasting room and play what's on it. It contains a recording of Lin Yu barking like a dog... Got it?"

Wang Zheng and Liu Tie's expressions gradually turned lecherous.

"Hehe... Causing trouble is what us brothers do best!"

"Don't worry, Young Master Jiang! We'll get it done cleanly and efficiently!"

Watching their departing backs, Jiang Che chuckled softly.

"I never expected... this thing to come in handy so soon."

Very soon.

An assembly began on Shilan School's field.

This meeting had been arranged specifically to criticize Lin Yu.

If Lin Yu had merely beaten someone up, it would not have caused such a huge commotion.

But unfortunately... he had brought the police into it, which naturally dealt no small blow to Shilan School's reputation.

And as luck would have it... higher-ups had come to inspect the school that very day!

So Lin Yu had become the bird that stuck its head out. If Ye Changkong had not pulled a few strings for him, Lin Yu would have been expelled long ago.

As Lin Yu stepped onto the stage, his expression looked as miserable as if he had eaten shit.

Apologizing before the entire school's teachers and students... was simply too humiliating.

But he had no choice but to do it.

If he refused... he might be expelled from school.

There were still so many beautiful female students at Shilan School waiting for him to pursue. How could he possibly accept that?

At that moment, Ye Mengyao, as class president, stood in the very front row below the stage. Every so often, her eyes drifted toward Jiang Che.

The moment she saw Jiang Che, she thought of the scene a few days ago when he had been with that unfamiliar woman. She had not slept well these past few days; the vinegar jar in her heart had been overturned.

Jealousy filled the air!

After that day, when she saw Wang Yanran, that stunning beauty with her exaggerated figure, she had felt an intense sense of crisis. Compared to Wang Yanran... she was nothing but a plate of bean sprouts.

She felt terribly inferior, so she had even padded herself a little today.

Yet Jiang Che now could not even be bothered to spare her a glance.

Could it be... that Jiang Che, who had pursued her for six years, truly no longer liked her?

She really was... unwilling to accept it!

Lin Yu slowly walked onto the stage, still limping.

Before the entire school's teachers and students... he was being publicly executed!

A proud protagonist like Lin Yu simply could not accept such a reality.

But he quickly recalled the teachings his "master" had given him. He had descended the mountain this time only to temper his heart amid the mortal world...

Right!

He could not get angry. After all, how could a golden-scaled fish remain trapped in a pond?

He then picked up his script and began reading.

"My name is Lin Yu. I transferred to Shilan School a few days ago, but I was detained for beating someone up. I now clearly realize my mistake..."

It was a very standard apology statement.

Meanwhile, inside the school's broadcasting room.

The student broadcaster had been trussed up like a zongzi.

Liu Tie and Wang Zheng wore lecherous smiles.

"Hey, little student, we'll be borrowing your broadcasting room for a while, all right? Once we're done, we'll untie you. Just pretend you know nothing. If the school leaders ask... say you had to pee and went to the restroom."

"You definitely know what kind of background Liu Tie and I have. Unless you don't want to survive in Hangzhou anymore!"

The student broadcaster nodded furiously, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Hehehe~"

The USB drive was plugged in.

Then the huge loudspeakers across the school field began playing a recording.

Lin Yu was still speaking. "I am truly sorry to classmates Liu Tie and Wang Zheng. I swear that I will never casually hit anyone again. Next, I will swear..."

"I am a dog, I am a dog, I am a dog! Woof woof woof~"

Lin Yu was interrupted by the voice from the loudspeakers.

And that voice from the loudspeakers... was unmistakably Lin Yu's own.

In an instant, the entire campus fell silent.

Because it was Lin Yu's voice both before and after, the transition was seamless!

In an instant, Lin Yu's expression onstage gradually stiffened.

Why did that voice sound so much like his own?

Wait... that was his voice!

He remembered what he had said yesterday in front of the electronic door in the cave abode!

But how could it possibly be playing here?
