Chapter 254
In the end, Su Li was carried away. The spectators outside Jiang Chen’s room also left quickly.
The Department of Disciple asked Jiang Chen to stay in his room. Ying Wushuang hurried somewhere.
Jiang Chen went back to his room. He put his blood-covered hand in clean water. At the same time, he gradually calmed down.
Whitty approached him carefully. He sat down by the table and tapped Jiang Chen’s shoulder with a paw. His blue eyes were full of worry.
“It’s not your fault. We can’t allow powerful people to do whatever they want to us just because they’re powerful. Besides, he wasn’t so powerful.”
Jiang Chen touched Whitty’s head and asked caringly, “How are you? Still hurt?”
Whitty had amazing recovering abilities. He had recovered long ago. Not until he confirmed Jiang Chen wasn’t angry did he let himself enjoy the latter’s petting.
“In the Sacred Institute, this is one of the biggest problems with practicing. It has stayed unresolved,” said Nan Gong.
“I’m confident,” Jiang Chen said.
“Alas.”
The four of them shook their heads and sighed. Youngsters were like this. They were too stubborn to give up their own ideas.
Sometimes even eight horses couldn’t pull them back.
It was already impossible for Jiang Chen to go back. Of course he wouldn’t like to listen to them; he still believed he could change his fate, but they were sure he would kick himself in the next dozens of years.
They walked out of the room and deployed a ward so that no one could overhear them. They started to discuss the affair.
“Jiang Chen was never in our plan. He suddenly showed up. Now that he’s missed his opportunity, let’s just forget about him, like he never showed up,” Shi Wengong said.
“That’s the only way. What else can we do?”
“Nan Gong, Mr. Dean of Students, shouldn’t we hold him accountable for Su Li’s injury?” The Dean of the south courtyard wasn’t there to check up on Jiang Chen. He had gone there to make Jiang Chen pay the price.
“You want to hold him accountable? You didn’t teach your disciple the proper thing to do. Su Li intruded into the east courtyard with that many people and claimed he would disable the arm of my disciple. It’s the price he should pay. You want to hold my disciple accountable?” Shi Gandang said in a rage.
“If Su Li hadn’t pushed him, he wouldn’t have made the mistake,” Nan Gong said.
The Dean of the south courtyard wasn’t happy with their response. He argued, “He’s a fool. You can’t blame others for it!”
“Although Jiang Chen didn’t develop the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, he has the Holy Pulses of Nine Clouds. He passed the test to join the superfine class on his own. He’s still more excellent than the other short-term disciples,” Shi Gandang said.
Shi Wengong and Nan Gong looked at each other. They were the two who had the last word.
“Forget it. Pretend we’ve never expected anything from him. Let’s just follow the rules,” said Shi Wengong.
“The thing with Su Li is over. Jiang Chen has paid his price, too,” Nan Gong said.
“Hmph!” The Dean of the south courtyard wasn’t convinced. He stormed off.
