The Prosecutor Is Entirely at Fault! / Master, It's Time for Your Medicine.
With a series of crackling sounds, the sword marks rapidly spread along the entire wall, then covered the entire room at a visible speed, like a dense spider web.
Boom--!!
A loud crash followed, and a large section of the ceiling collapsed, with small pieces of stone scattering and continuing to fall. Only then did everyone realize that the entire room was about to collapse!
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and Yan Ying grabbed Yi Yun and threw him out of the window. She jumped out after him. They were on the third floor, a height that was easy for a martial artist with a Third Order Gene Lock.
While Ling Mengxue was still somewhat at a loss, Ji Chen was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair, cursing incessantly.
"Forget about the house, run!"
"Do you want me to pay compensation?"
"Need not!"
With a pained expression, Ji Chen packed up several important documents and hurriedly jumped out of the window.
This building had been his friend for decades. He bought it for tens of thousands of yuan twenty years ago. It was an old building, and now it could no longer hold up and was collapsing.
Fortunately, there were only a few of them in the house tonight, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
[img=700,760]htt The check wasn't done in time!!
Chapter 149 The Prosecutor Takes Full Responsibility!
Rumble--!!
The four of them stood on the street not far from the entrance, watching the three-story old house crumble little by little until it collapsed with a crash. Their expressions were complicated, but Ji Chen's expression was as if he had eaten poison.
A deafening explosion rang out and spread rapidly. People from nearby shops and residential buildings rushed out to watch, and the crowd grew larger and larger, eventually blocking the road.
"My goodness, is this a demolition project late at night?" a bystander exclaimed in surprise.
"Is anyone hurt? Is anyone hurt?!"
"I was tired of standing, so I lay down for a bit, but I ended up being photographed by reporters."
"Are you a residential building?"
"No, the house didn't collapse, it's just doing push-ups."
"..."
The surrounding crowd was discussing it heatedly; they loved watching the excitement, and thankfully it wasn't their house.
Ji Chen stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time.
Yi Yun saw Ji Chen's face turn from green to purple to white, he almost burst out laughing and put his hand on Ji Chen's shoulder.
"Prosecutor, you were the one who asked them to go all out. You must take full responsibility for your words."
"Damn it, I know."
Ji Chen gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and simply left the place with the others without looking back, getting into his old van.
This time we really suffered a huge loss. Not only did we lose the White Crystal Slate, but also a lot of antique furniture, and we can't get any of it back.
Although most of them were insignificant items, they were still his companions for decades, and to have them all destroyed overnight was a tragedy!
How could a Grandmaster be so strong that he could destroy a house with a single blow?
But at the same time, he was also terrified. Was this girl really that powerful? Was she defying the heavens?
However, after considering the pros and cons, Ji Chen's face instantly lit up with a smile again, and he laughed heartily.
"I never expected Miss Ling to be such a prodigy. At such a young age, she's already a Great Grandmaster Tier. I've really struck gold this time. When I get back, I'll definitely be able to prove them wrong in front of those old guys, haha."
"Prosecutor, weren't you in a bad mood just now?" Yan Ying looked at Ji Chen with a strange expression, feeling rather speechless.
"Hehe, what do you know? The prosecutor is not concerned with trifles; he is a man destined for great things. How could you petty people possibly fathom his abilities?" Yi Yun said without batting an eye.
He was waiting for a raise, but now that he's lost his house, he has to go along with it first.
As Senior Investigator, his monthly salary is at least five figures, but it's clearly still too little. He can't even afford to buy a green off-road vehicle, and if he gets diverted to building a house, he'll be even further from his goal.
If you exclude the expenses for his usual cultivation resources, he is now penniless, and there is no sign of him breaking through.
Yan Ying rolled her eyes at him and moved closer to Ling Mengxue. "Ling, don't pay him any mind. That's just the kind of person he is; he can't be relied on."
Yi Yun's eyelids twitched. "Hey, I heard everything. I'm so handsome, don't you dare say bad things about me in front of Meng Xue."
"What's wrong? Are you trying to kidnap someone?" Yan Ying immediately drew her pistol, showing no sign of backing down.
"Alright, alright." Ji Chen's expression turned serious again. "Yan Ying, put the gun away first, be careful it doesn't go off accidentally. In any case, Miss Ling is now one of ours. Remember to get along well, we might cooperate someday."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Yan Ying and Yi Yun were both taken aback and immediately sat up straight.
Regardless, he is still their boss. They usually get along in a relaxed and pleasant manner, but when it comes to work, they still need to maintain a serious and conscientious attitude. Only Yi Yun can be so carefree and unrestrained.
"So, what's Miss Ling's perspective?" Ji Chen continued to ask.
Ling Mengxue pondered for a moment, then suddenly hesitated, "Let's do it your way, but I still have classes to attend. What should we do?"
"It's alright. The office building will have to be rebuilt anyway. Miss Ling can continue to attend classes with peace of mind. I'll have someone notify you once it's rebuilt and everything is ready," Ji Chen said with a smile, seemingly back to normal and very magnanimous.
"Can't we go somewhere else?" Ling Mengxue asked, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Yan Ying explained helplessly, "Actually, there's another secret base underground. We haven't had time to retrieve many important documents, and the tools needed for the mission are also inside. We can only ask the organization to provide a copy temporarily."
Ling Mengxue nodded blankly, not expecting this factor to exist. After all, she was the one who had destroyed someone else's house, so she felt a bit guilty.
"But Sister Ling, don't worry about it. If the prosecutor hadn't been so discerning in recognizing Ling Yunmu, would things have turned out like this?"
Yan Ying remained unyielding on this issue, causing Ji Chen to blush and repeatedly say, "Give me some face."
Seeing that the others had finished talking, Yi Yun suddenly jumped out again, chuckling mischievously, "Little Ling, look how late it is. It's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone. Do you want your uncle to walk you home?"
Ling Mengxue: "..."
Yan Ying gave Yi Yun a disapproving look, then smiled and said, "How about it? Don't be so polite with your older sister. Maybe we'll be colleagues in the future."
"...""good."
Ling Mengxue thought about it and realized it would save her some money on transportation.
This was a memory etched into her DNA, and she couldn't control herself for a moment. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing. Even if she had money, she couldn't spend it recklessly. Besides, she still had some questions she wanted to ask.
Over the weekend, Ling Mengxue, feeling sorry for the misfortune that Zhao Ping and the others had suffered, brought a fruit basket to visit them and even included a portion for Han Shiyu.
Apart from being a little pale, they were all fine; at least they were alive, and that was enough.
As time goes by, the school festival is drawing ever closer.
On Monday, student council members were already organizing students to set up the venue, and various program lists were being submitted, with a wide variety of programs on them.
For example, programs such as singing and dancing, skits, storytelling, fighting, performance art, painting, cooking, calligraphy, and preaching are emerging one after another, each with its own unique ideas, truly a dazzling display of talent.
The Dragon Soaring Academy's anniversary celebrations emphasize "inclusivity and diversity." As long as it's reasonable, culturally rich, and artistic, students can perform whatever they want—that's how humane it is.
Most importantly, there are annual cultural exchange events, opportunities to learn from mentors, or wilderness adventures.
Students from each class can choose these options themselves, and then each class teacher or other teacher will lead them on a week-long study tour by school bus.
This year's school festival theme is "Wilderness and Countryside".
[Img=700,982]Sorry, it's too early☆
Chapter 150 Master, it's time to take your medicine.
Of course, the school is very humane; if students don't like the current project, their classes can still organize their own activities. However, out of the fifty-odd classes in the school, generally more than 90% will choose the current theme.
After all, this activity will affect the class's score, and not many people would want to mess with their attendance score. The class teacher would also not agree to it.
"Xiaoxue, we've prepared a performance, would you like to join us?"
As soon as Ling Mengxue entered the classroom, Tang Ling rushed over and pointed at Lan Yuxin and the other Magical Girls.
"Hmm? What program?"
"Hehe, you'll see in a bit. I'll get you the program schedule first."
"..."
Seeing Tang Ling's cheerful expression, Ling Mengxue felt helpless but said nothing.
Young girls are more active in their thinking, which is much better than before when they would fight to the death at the drop of a hat.
However, when it comes to performing on the show, she has no plans; if possible, she just wants to be a quiet audience member.
The most important thing now is her own cultivation. So far, she has consumed countless miraculous pills and cultivated diligently for an unknown period of time.
In order to refine the elixirs that were not available in the Destiny Shop, she even began to learn the art of alchemy.
Nearby, while Yue Youyou was still hesitating about whether to invite Ling Mengxue to perform a show, and was afraid of being rejected.
Then, Ling Mengxue slowly took off her leather shoes, revealing her small, translucent feet encased in black stockings, and sat upright in a chair in a strange posture...
Still asleep with eyes closed?
"Heavens." Yue Youyou gently covered her mouth, completely unaware of what Ling Mengxue was doing.
Is he meditating? Practicing internal energy? Or cultivating an unparalleled divine skill?
Yue Youyou wondered if she was crazy to think like that. Even if the world was full of supernatural phenomena and magic, permeating every corner of life, it wasn't yet time for a global spiritual revival, was it?
In fact, Ling Mengxue was indeed cultivating, but it was just her daily practice of condensing True Essence, which wouldn't cause any disturbance. And since their seats were near the back of the blackboard, no one noticed anything amiss; they just waited for class to begin.
Ling Mengxue now covers the entire school with her Divine Sense, and she can see almost everyone's every move, or react to people coming from the surrounding area immediately.
She could see that someone was missing from the class next door, and she saw Qiu Yun'er chatting with her classmates, looking rather sullen.
Zhao Ping was not there, Yuwen was engrossed in reading, surrounded by piles of books.
Bai Chuting, Lin Ruoxi... and then to the office, the school playground, the science building, the library, even the convenience store and the cafeteria!
"We'll have fried rice with eggs for lunch today!"
The moment the sentence was uttered, it immediately drew the attention of students at several nearby tables.
Even Yue Youyou felt like she was going to die along with her.
"Ling... has her image collapsed?"
"Cough cough..."
Ling Mengxue sensed something was wrong and immediately sat up straight, opening her book, but her mind was still wandering.
'Since Zhao Lei and Zhao Ping are still detained in the mental hospital, let's leave them there for now and let them stay there for treatment.'
'Oh right, there's also Shangguan Li. He seems to still be lying in the city center hospital. He's the eldest son of the Shangguan Family, the one who ruled half of Jiangnan, right? I wonder if he'll face retaliation afterward.'
'Whatever, he's the one who told me not to hold back, and besides, I actually did hold back in the end...'
After class, Tang Ling brought over a program list and asked Ling Mengxue to take a look. If there were no problems, she could add it.
Ling Mengxue didn't have any particular thoughts on this, but since it was the other party's good intention, she figured it wouldn't hurt to take a look. If she could get some more training through the music program, she could be of help to Miss Su later.
However, she underestimated the imagination of her classmates. Just seeing the programs that had been reported so far made her head spin.
The Disappearing Cornea, Magical Girl Madoka, The Male Cultivator of the Blissful Union Sect, The Legend of the Maple God, 100 Ways to Kill Your Boss, Is It Reasonable for a Slime to Beat a Dragon?, Pinduoduo, 60,000 People Can't Kill Me!...
"Call..."
After quickly skimming through the text, Ling Mengxue remained calm.
Because previous shows were actually quite similar to this one. ヾ(*⌒?⌒*)ゞ
After school at noon, Ling Mengxue politely declined Tang Ling's offer to leave, then hurriedly left the school with her schoolbag.
