Chapter 955: Cannon Fodder with Soul Replacement 9
"Sister, Master hasn't come out for three days. Is something wrong?"
"That shouldn't be the case. It's common for Master to go into seclusion. He just didn't tell us in advance this time. I guess there must be something urgent going on."
"But Master has gone into emergency retreat before. Even if he couldn't tell us in person, he would write us a note. But this time, he didn't leave a single word. How about I knock on the door and ask?"
The girl in a green Taoist robe pursed her lips, hesitating whether to knock on the door.
Although I know that my master is very powerful, he is still a human being after all. What if something unexpected happens?
The slightly smaller boy stepped forward and bent his finger to knock on the door, but before his finger fell, a voice from the side called out to him and stopped him.
"No."
He Jingxiu stepped forward and held the little boy's hand. "Have you forgotten the rules of Master's retreat? If you disturb Master's practice, Master will definitely punish you."
When the little boy heard the word "punishment", he shuddered and shook his head hurriedly, "Then I'd better not disturb Master."
He Jingxiu then let go of his hand. After being freed from the restraints, the little boy ran away.
"Xiao Mo is also worried about Master. Why do you have to scare him? When has Master ever punished us?"
Xia Jinrong did not approve of He Jingxiu's behavior of scaring children.
He Jingxiu chuckled. This trick could only scare Wu Mo, who was only eight years old. It would not work on anyone older.
"Why did you come back from school suddenly?" He Jingxiu asked.
He Jingxiu, Xia Jinrong and Wu Mo are all disciples adopted by Ling Kong. Since they are still of school age, they are in school on weekdays and only come back on holidays.
Xia Jinrong just entered the first year of high school this year, and should be busy with his studies. It must be for a reason that he suddenly came back from school.
As expected, Xia Jinrong chuckled when He Jingxiu asked this. "Well, I had a fight with a classmate, and the teacher asked me to find the parents. I came back to find my master, but he was in seclusion."
Xia Jinrong stepped forward and grabbed He Jingxiu's arm. "Good brother, please help me go to the school to see the teacher."
Having grown up together, He Jingxiu naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Xia Jinrong get into trouble.
For an adult, being asked by the teacher to call the parents may not be a big deal, but for a student, being asked by the teacher to call the parents is a big deal.
"Tell me first, what happened?"
Xia Jinrong looked up at He Jingxiu's face, which had the same serious expression as Ling Kong's, and said cautiously, "It's just...it's just that a classmate lost his bracelet, and I want to help me figure out where it was lost."
"Then that guy suddenly showed up and said I was a fake charlatan, trying to scam people out of their money. I was so angry that I started arguing with him. When the teacher came, he said I was promoting feudal superstition and that arguing with classmates was unfriendly. He told me to call my parents."
After hearing the whole story, He Jingxiu didn't know what to say.
"Did I ever tell you not to bring what your master taught you into school?"
"Why do you have to help others find bracelets when you can just study the courses taught by your teachers in school?"
Xia Jinrong knew that she was wrong, but the classmate who lost the bracelet was her best friend.
The bracelet was quite expensive. Seeing her friend so sad and afraid of being scolded by her parents when she got home, she couldn't bear it and thought of fortune-telling to find out where the bracelet was lost.
Besides, Garou and her friend were doing the calculation secretly in a hidden corner, but who would have thought that that guy saw them and caused so many troubles afterwards.
"That teacher is also a snob. He only speaks for the other person because he thinks his family is rich." Xia Jinrong said angrily.
He Jingxiu held his forehead helplessly. This matter was actually very simple to resolve. All he had to do was apologize and have Xia Jinrong admit that he was talking nonsense and was not promoting feudal superstition.
"I will go to school with you tomorrow. From now on, you are forbidden to tell anyone about family matters. Do you understand?" He Jingxiu said earnestly.
Xia Jinrong nodded repeatedly, and He Jingxiu didn't know whether she really listened or was just pretending.
The next day, He Jingxiu and Xia Jinrong went to the teacher's office at school together.
The head teacher was a female teacher in her forties who criticized Xia Jinrong for his "feudal and superstitious" behavior.
"This is a school after all. The most important thing for students is to study. How can you use unconventional means to make money?"
"That student had good intentions, worried that his classmates would be deceived, but ended up getting scolded instead." The head teacher checked the time on his watch. "That student will be here soon. Give him a proper apology later, and this matter will be over."
'Boom boom boom...'
Just as the teacher finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in."
Yun Yi pushed the door open after getting permission and greeted the teacher with a smile.
"Student Yun Yi, Xia Jinrong has fully realized her mistake just now. I hope you don't mind it anymore." The head teacher looked at Yun Yi and said.
"Teacher, don't worry. As long as Xia apologizes to me, I won't mind. We are all classmates after all."
Yun Yi had a smile on his face and looked gentle, as if he naturally gave people a sense of closeness.
Xia Jinrong apologized to him. No matter whether it was sincere or fake, at least she looked sincere on the surface.
"It's okay, I forgive you, Xia. I hope you won't lie to me again. Our high school is completely free. If your family has any difficulties, you can tell the school and they will do their best to help you."
Yun Yiduan looked so understanding that Xia Jinrong felt a stomachache.
She was not short of money, she just wanted to help her friend. Besides, she was not lying at all. If Yun Yi had not suddenly appeared, her friend's lost bracelet would have been found.
But Xia Jinrong couldn't say anything, so she could only smile and say, "Thank you for your kindness, classmate Yun Yi. I'm not short of money."
Yun Yi nodded, then turned his gaze to He Jingxiu who was standing next to Xia Jinrong, and said seriously:
"I hope you, as parents, can be responsible for your children and not lead them astray."
"I accept Yun Yi's criticism. I will definitely pay more attention to my sister's education when I get home."
He Jingxiu humbly accepted Yun Yi's suggestion, and narrowed his eyes slightly after looking into Yun Yi's clear and bright black and white eyes.
Did he see it wrong?
Why do I feel that the soul of classmate Yun Yi in front of me is... a little unstable?
It’s as if the body and soul have just been forcibly glued together and have not yet completely merged into one.
However, if a person has such an unstable soul, he is either unconscious or plagued by fatigue and sleepiness, and he will definitely not have the energy to preach to others like him.
"How much do you know about classmate Yun Yi?" He Jingxiu asked after walking out of the teacher's office.
