Ch 230: Confess and receive leniency

Rui Bu Si blinked, answering quickly, “Okay.”

Unexpectedly, the topic didn’t end there.

“Wouldn’t you have said something if I hadn’t noticed?”

Their hands were still clasped; Mi Ya Xing could use Mind Reading whenever he wanted.

But on such an obvious issue, even if he really would casually use Mind Reading on her, it would be redundant.

“She acted so obviously; there’s no way it couldn’t be noticed.”

Rui Bu Si hadn’t considered that possibility at all.

“If.”

If?

She understood; he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

In this situation, is it better to tell the truth?

Or to say something nice?

She looked at his expression.

Hmm, it seemed like just casual conversation.

She stroked his palm twice, and Mi Ya Xing looked at her as she asked:

“If I’m honest…will I receive leniency?”

There was no need to hide her relationship with Xu Xingchun; Xu Xingchun was definitely not someone who could keep secrets about this.

His thumb fiddled with the bracelet on Rui Bu Si’s wrist, vaguely saying, “That’s hard to say, classmate. Sentencing also depends on the specific circumstances.”

It was as casual as a joke.

But the topic wasn’t close to a joke; Rui Bu Si was a little nervous.

She had just said he couldn’t argue with her. She knew he was just saying it.

“I’ll wait until you find out.”

There’s no need to hide it, but some things are like work; they always have the magic to make one procrastinate.

The motion of playing with the beads stopped: “So honest?”

“Yes~”

“So, boyfriend, can honesty lead to leniency?”

“What kind of leniency are you hoping for?”

A counter-question.

Such a stimulating counter-question.

“During magic training, don’t use this to blackmail me.”

The Magic Training Ground is currently under renovation.

But the school has surprisingly efficiently prepared a dedicated training ground for the Meng Knights in advance.

It also encourages students who want to practice magic diligently to practice with the Meng Knights.

—At this time, there are hardly any such students.

“Hmm,” seeing her eyes light up, Mi Ya Xing added, “If you don’t start complaining of tiredness after less than ten minutes.”

Oh, my gosh.

Is it possible that ordinary students are simply not suitable for training with Meng Knights?

The school’s handling of Xu Xingchun and Witch Kiki is very much in Elder Kendouji’s consistent style.

Oh, Elder Kendouji, he should now be called Grand Elder Kendouji.

“Grandpa said before that after atoning for our sins, we just need to spend a little while at the Council of Elders, and then we’ll have plenty of time to spend with me and Wu La La.”

Wu La La nodded repeatedly: “I can testify that Grandpa really said this to me and my sister.”

Obviously, a lot of “little while”s have passed.

“Grandpa wants to too.”

Ousgaida left the Principal’s Office to visit Pa Hua Luo Di, leaving the space to the three of them, grandfather and grandchildren.

The Council of Elders no longer expects to find the missing Grand Elder Pikachu; Elder Kendouji naturally becomes the new Grand Elder according to the message left by Grand Elder Pikachu.

But even if the former Grand Elder hadn’t left any words, it is indeed most appropriate for Elder Ken to serve as the Grand Elder.

“It seems Director Pa is doing well.”

Infirmary. Xu Xingchun has been allowed to return here from the Detention Room, wearing a modified Magic Imprisonment Ring by Victoria.

Any use of magic or magical attack will trigger an alert at Director Pa’s office in the Teacher’s Office.

When Ousgaida arrived at the Infirmary, Pa Hua Luo Di was resolutely refusing the potion.

“I haven’t added anything that shouldn’t be added. Director, you can drink it with peace of mind.”

Pa Hua Luo Di couldn’t rest assured.

Last time, the Head Nurse had smiled while chatting about how much she admired Head Nurse Da Tiantian during her student days; as they chatted, Pa Hua Luo Di felt thirsty and naturally drank the potion beside her.

Then she became unconscious.

Upon waking up, she heard that she had not only knocked herself out but also managed to knock out two Old Soldiers.

“Humph, the same trick, I, Pa Hua Luo Di, won’t fall for it again!”

He looked as if he had seen through the fact that something must have been added to the potion.

“Your magical ability isn’t strong.”

Finally, she didn’t make him drink the potion again, but she did upset him.

“There seems to be a problem with the Shi Juan Shi, so the other two Old Soldiers have woken up, but you’re still asleep and even need a potion to recover.”

Pa Hua Luo Di: “Everyone’s constitution is different, okay?! Just talk, why suddenly talk about this?”

“I stayed in the Dark Clan for a long time. For me, even if I can’t use any magic, there are more ways than just potions to harm you.”

Pa Hua Luo Di quickly jumped back a few steps, farther away from her.

“What do you want to do?”

Xu Xingchun didn’t understand his fear: “I just want the patient to take their medicine.”

To reassure him, she added, “There’s no point in harming you.”

Pa Hua Luo Di’s defensive action turned into clutching his heart.

What she said was so reasonable; these words were more heartbreaking than the harmful potion.

Ousgaida, intending to ignore it and wait for Pa Hua Luo Di to finish the potion before coming in, helplessly took the potion, smelled it a few times, and then handed it to the person whose face was full of suspicion: “Drink it with peace of mind, it’s fine.”

At that moment, Pa Hua Luo Di remembered their conflicts during their student days, and a bag of letters that he had secretly disposed of but wasn’t sure whether Principal Ous had noticed:

“You wouldn’t be deliberately retaliating against me, would you?”

“Of course not.”

After he said this, Pa Hua Luo Di drank it with doubt and trust.

“Why does my body feel…” He unconsciously moved his hands a few times and twisted his neck, “strange?”

“That’s normal; it’ll stop soon.”

As she said, Pa Hua Luo Di soon stopped.

After stopping, he stretched greatly: “Goodness, I really feel like I haven’t been this comfortable in a long time; my whole body, all my Shi Juan Shi are incredibly smooth!”

He quietly avoided Ousgaida and pulled Xu Xingchun aside:

“Actually, I’ve always believed you have a kind heart.”

Xu Xingchun didn’t say much: “Thank you for your trust, Director Pa.”

“Ahem.” After the polite remark came the main topic, “Um…do you have any way to restore my magic?”

His tone was filled with unconcealed excitement.

“No.”

But he received the same answer as before.

“Bei Meng has the best Shi Juan Shi treatment equipment in the Quark Clan; you should have been to Bei Meng. Since even the best in the Quark Clan doesn’t have it, how could I?”

“Then just now?”

“It was just a potion that makes you feel a little more comfortable. Too much nervousness is not good for your recovery.”

Similar to an anesthetic for a wound, it couldn’t restore Pa Hua Luo Di’s Shi Juan Shi.

Ousgaida wasn’t surprised by Pa Hua Luo Di’s reaction.

“Is it going smoothly being back here and getting along with the students?”

“Of course, the little ones are all very cute.”

The students are now heavily using the infirmary, and since Xu Xingchun didn’t harm any students during the Dark Clan invasion, and few students know about her situation, her work is naturally going smoothly.

Ousgaida didn’t have anything to ask Xu Xingchun, and soon left with Pa Hua Luo Di.

As they left, Pa Hua Luo Di stubbornly asked again, “Is there really no way?”

Xu Xingchun shook her head and didn’t speak.

As the memory of the Dark Clan invasion faded, the end-of-semester exams slowly approached.
