Lian Baoying, once again impulsive, jumped down from the wall and rushed forward, ready to throw a punch. Wang Kuan hurriedly intercepted him, saying, "Without evidence, if you strike again, we'll become the bad guys."
"What are we afraid of? Let's just hit them first. When this reaches the Grand Scholar, it’ll be about seniority and positions. Your grandfather is the Chancellor, and I’m from the Lian Family Army. Any of those can easily overpower them."
It seemed to make sense.
He chuckled to himself, thinking that the old man must be experiencing being called a parent for the first time; it would surely be quite amusing.
Wang Kuan no longer tried to stop him; instead, he looked eager and charged ahead of Lian Baoying.
However, their initial assault did not go well. A child who had worked hard to fend for himself could never compare to those nurtured by powerful families. A few haphazard moves couldn’t withstand the Zhengquan Xiulei that their opponents had practiced since childhood.
"Useless!" Lian Baoying muttered as he rushed in to help. The two faced off against a group of people and felt they were at a disadvantage.
Wen Zhaojun panicked and picked up Lian Baoying's slingshot from the wall, providing support from above. Surprisingly, she was quite accurate.
Li Cu licked her cat paw and praised her.
Wen Zhaojun blushed. "The Women's Academy also teaches archery. My grades are pretty good. Although I've never used a slingshot before, it's all about aiming, right? It's not that hard."
Seeing Li Cu too relaxed, Wen Zhaojun pleaded, "Black General, why don’t you go help out?"
"If I go down there, it would just be bullying children. Don't worry; if there's any life-threatening danger, I'll save them."
At that moment, Sang Qingxiao threw out two talismans. Once attached, they ensured that the two wouldn’t feel pain or fatigue; they were invigorated and fearless.
The tide turned as their opponents began to show more injuries and fatigue; some were even looking to escape.
Finally, Li Cu made her move, marking a large area around the battlefield. Anyone who dared to step outside would get scratched by her claws.
The commotion grew louder and eventually attracted quite a few onlookers—first among them were the students.
Upon hearing Wen Zhaojun recount the events, some noble daughters climbed up onto the wall to help throw things at their attackers.
The male students mostly stood aside at a distance to avoid getting caught up in it all.
Next came the Masters.
Seeing that things had calmed down somewhat, Lian Baoying and Wang Kuan didn’t wait for the Masters to scold them; they withdrew from the fray respectfully and stood at attention, looking obedient—completely different from their earlier ferocity.
The Grand Scholar and two Headmasters arrived last. Without asking for details right away, they waited for the academy doctor to conduct preliminary examinations on the students before leading everyone into the Disciplinary Hall.
After some inquiries and understanding of what had happened—though that group tried to argue their way out—the Grand Scholar did not believe them.
Although public opinion had been controlled and the matter did not spread widely among the populace, the Court was already aware of it. As a result, the Imperial Academy found itself in a significant crisis of trust. While the academy appeared calm on the surface, the Masters gathered daily for meetings to reflect on the situation. The Grand Scholar and the two Headmasters had been questioned by the royal family and high-ranking officials multiple times, which was truly exhausting. With this latest incident, they finally had an outlet for their pent-up frustration. If this event could help eliminate a few toxic elements, it would be even better.
