Chapter 94: Applying for Graduation
Ignoring Zhao Wuji's suspicious gaze, Lin Yang looked at Flender and nodded. "Dean Flender, we meet again."
"I didn't introduce myself last time. I am Teacher Qin Ming's student, Lin Yang. Thank you for looking after Xiao Wu during this time."
Flender stared at him for two seconds, and a figure immediately surfaced in his mind, gradually matching the face before him.
Though he had grown taller, his appearance hadn't changed much.
"So it's you."
Flender chuckled. "I didn't expect that I, the 'Four-Eyed Owl', would also misjudge someone."
"Forgive me, Dean, it wasn't convenient to say at the time."
Lin Yang smiled, offering an apology.
Evidently, Flender had already figured out that Lin Yang was 'Blade Demon'.
Zhao Wuji, who had been holding back for a long while, finally couldn't resist. "Wait, what kind of riddles are you two playing? Flender, who exactly is this kid?"
"Didn't he just say? He's Xiao Ming's student," Flender chuckled. "He's also Xiao Wu's former partner from that duo—Blade Demon!"
Zhao Wuji was stunned.
Blade Demon?
What on earth was going on?
That little brat had a partner before?
And apparently, even Flender knew about it, while he, her teacher, didn't?
He opened his mouth to ask more, but Lin Yang spoke up first. "Dean Flender, Teacher Zhao, the priority right now is to treat Xiao Wu's injuries. We can talk about everything else later."
After saying this, Lin Yang took Xiao Wu to a corner of the lounge.
"You..."
Zhao Wuji wanted to follow, but Flender stopped him. "Old Zhao, don't be in a hurry. Let him treat the injuries first. We can deal with the rest after Xiao Wu wakes up."
Lin Yang placed Xiao Wu on a soft couch in the lounge, quickly sprinkled blood coagulation powder on her wounds, and stuffed a Dragon Zoysia Leaf into her mouth.
Finally, he took out a tube of blood-red medicine and injected it directly into her neck.
The medicine was pushed into her body.
The wounds on Xiao Wu's body began to sprout new flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye, healing rapidly.
Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries; otherwise, Lin Yang's blood-activating medicine wouldn't have been able to recover them so quickly.
Seeing this scene, Flender's eyelids twitched, his gaze falling on the medicine in Lin Yang's hand.
Is this a new type of medicine on the market?
How come I've never heard of it?
"Ugh..."
""
Xiao Wu's eyelids fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Xiao Wu."
A familiar voice reached her ears. Xiao Wu's gaze was a bit vacant at first, but after a two-second daze, she suddenly snapped awake.
Lin Yang's voice?
She looked up and indeed saw that familiar face, looking at her with concern and a smile. "How are you feeling?"
Xiao Wu didn't speak, but stared blankly at Lin Yang.
Lin Yang waved his hand in front of her face, half-joking, "What, it's only been a few months, don't you recognize me... anymore?"
Before he could finish, Xiao Wu lunged into his arms, her eyes instantly turning red as she sobbed, "You bastard, it hasn't been a few months, it's been exactly ten months and five days."
During such a long time, she hadn't cried when she felt lonely, nor when she was injured.
But at this moment, her tears flowed uncontrollably, soaking a large patch of Lin Yang's clothes.
Lin Yang looked down at the Little Rabbit in his arms, his gaze softening. "I'm sorry, you've worked hard."
"By the way," Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, "That... I've already learned it."
Lin Yang nodded slightly. "I know, I've been watching."
Xiao Wu was taken aback for a moment, then blurted out, "Then can I go to Heaven Dou with you?"
Lin Yang nodded. "Whenever you want, it's fine anytime, but you should tell your teachers."
He stepped aside, revealing Zhao Wuji and Flender standing behind him.
Seeing the two acquaintances present, Xiao Wu's face turned red.
She was usually the dominant boss at school, even making Little Ao and Ma Hongjun call her 'Sister Xiao Wu'. When had she ever shown such a girlish side?
"Teacher Zhao, Dean," Xiao Wu greeted them properly.
Zhao Wuji widened his bull-like eyes, looking incredulous. "Little brat, did you get hit so hard your brain broke? Maybe we should go see a proper healing Soul Master?"
The Little Rabbit glared. "Big Blind Bear, if you don't like hearing it, I don't like saying it either."
Ah, that's more like it!
Seems like her head isn't broken.
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and cracked his knuckles with a series of clicks. "Little brat, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Once we're back at school, we'll settle the score for you sneaking out to Spirit Battle."
The Little Rabbit hopped a few steps to hide behind Lin Yang, then peeked out half her head. "I didn't lose, and don't think I don't know—every time I Spirit Battle, you two are betting on me!"
As soon as she said this, Zhao Wuji's expression became a bit awkward.
He still had some pride; betting on one's own student was indefensible no matter how you looked at it.
"Cough, cough—!"
Flender coughed lightly. His skin had grown thick long ago, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said matter-of-factly, "You know the school is short on money. We're doing this to generate income for the school."
Without waiting for Xiao Wu to speak, Flender quickly changed the subject. "Alright, let's head back to the academy first. We'll talk about the rest when we get back."
The group used Soul Power to travel, moving very quickly.
Of course, this was still while taking into account that Xiao Wu had just recovered from her injuries.
Just as they returned to the academy, the Fatty Ma Hongjun and Oscar emerged from some corner, greeting them one by one. "Teacher (Dean), Teacher Zhao, Sister Xiao Wu, , "
Oscar naturally noticed Lin Yang, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.
Ma Hongjun approached with a long, miserable face. "Sister Xiao Wu, to keep watch for you, I was almost beaten to death by Teacher Zhao today. Look at my handsome face... it's been disfigured."
Xiao Wu waved him off with a look of disgust. "Go play somewhere else. Your disfigurement is basically plastic surgery. Teacher Zhao should have taught you an even better lesson."
"Sister Xiao Wu, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"
"Hmph, go away!"
Xiao Wu raised her fist. "I'm in a good mood today, don't force me to deal with you."
"Got it!"
Ma Hongjun retreated a few steps sheepishly.
One kick from Xiao Wu could take half his life; his small frame couldn't handle it.
After dismissing Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and then applied for graduation to Flender.
"What? Graduation?"
Zhao Wuji's voice was so loud it made ears ring, and his eyes were nearly popping out. "Little brat, I think you're trying to turn the world upside down. I haven't even settled today's score with you, and you're threatening me with graduation?"
Xiao Wu was uncharacteristically calm. "Teacher Zhao, I'm serious. I want to graduate."
"This—, "
Zhao Wuji panicked instantly, opening his mouth but finding nothing to say.
He could only turn to Flender with a pleading look.
Flender, it's your turn!
A Little Monster like Xiao Wu cannot be allowed to leave the academy.
Flender's expression was calm, but he sighed inwardly: This day has finally come!
