Chapter 506: Chapter 506

After hearing Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and others popularize the knowledge of Soul Devices, Ji You finally understood where her current weakness lay.

Her shortcoming was the extremely low level of her spiritual power. Therefore, the Soul Devices she produced, even if their Array Diagrams were stable enough, even if the compatibility with the person was high, the spiritual power circulating within the Soul Devices was too little. If she couldn’t overcome this shortcoming, the level of the Soul Devices Ji You made would never improve.

Haste makes waste, and Ji You didn’t expect to achieve success in one step. Now that she knew the three key points to improve a Soul Device, she was no longer completely clueless... This also provided a general direction for her future crafting journey. One must walk step by step, eat bite by bite; she was not in a rush, not in the slightest.

After finishing the morning run, Ji You and several classmates were walking back to their dormitory when they bumped into Lin Lele and her group. Lin Lele crossed her arms and her expression immediately darkened upon seeing Ji You.

Yue Qiyuan stopped in his tracks, ready to turn around immediately.

Yue Qiguang’s brows knitted in a flash.

Seeing this, Ji You simply stood still.

Lin Lele caught a glimpse of Yue Qiyuan’s turning motion, and said with a bad tone, "Yue Qiyuan, why are you avoiding me? What unspeakable things have you done? Or are you ashamed to see people because you’ve been hanging out with trash?"

Lin Lele’s eyes unintentionally shifted towards Ji You, the implication clear...

Before Yue Qiyuan could speak, the hot-tempered Yue Qiguang already clenched his fists, cursing, "Lin Lele! Don’t think I won’t dare to beat you up! Get lost immediately, you eyesore!"

Lin Lele’s pretty face flushed with anger as she threatened, "Yue Qiguang, just you wait. Once the final exams are over, you’ll realize your mistake."

Yue Qiyuan turned back, his gaze coldly sweeping over Lin Lele as he crossed his arms and asked with a slightly raised tone, "I’m quite curious as to what the ’mistake’ you’re referring to exactly is."

Lin Lele faltered, stomping her foot: "You two brothers, ganging up to bully me!"

Yue Qiguang swatted away an imaginary fly, waving his hand, "Are you going to go tell your mother? Hurry up! Hurry up! I’ll despise you if you’re a second late!"

Lin Lele opened her mouth: "You—"

Yue Qiguang sneered: "How shameful."

Lin Lele’s figure halted, struggling to control her rage, and she lifted her foot, about to turn away when suddenly, behind her came the cold and slightly chilling voice of Yue Qiyuan: "Lin Lele, before your brain goes out of control next time, remember that your Lin Family still can’t control our Yue Family."

Lin Lele whirled around furiously: "You..."

"You..." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel•fire.net

Having said that, Lin Lele glared fiercely at Ji You and spat out, "Copycat dog!"

Ji You raised her hand, calling to her, "Wait a moment!"

Lin Lele proudly lifted her face, speaking arrogantly, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Ji You shook her head, her tone indifferent, "No! You’re wrong. You are wrong because you’re blind and your mouth is crooked."

The color in Ji You’s eyes deepened in an instant, her tone exceedingly cold, "Lin Lele, this is the last time. If there’s a next time, I won’t waste so many words on you."

Lin Lele opened her mouth, arrogantly saying, "A copycat dog should be forever nailed to the pillar of shame, never to come out and embarrass yourself again..."

Just as she opened her mouth, before Lin Lele could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a glint of cold light before her eyes, and then she was flipped onto the ground...

Lin Lele saw stars before her eyes, her face full of confusion: "You actually dare to hit me?"

Ji You retracted her hand indifferently and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

Originally, as Lin Lele was bullying Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao had already jumped up, ready to beat up Lin Lele first. But before she could roll up her sleeves, Lin Lele had already been flipped onto the ground by Ji You...

Chu Jiaojiao had no choice but to put her rolled sleeves back down and hurriedly rush to Ji You’s side, asking with concern, "Ji You, did your hand get hurt?"

Ji You forced a smile: "It’s not hurt."

Chu Jiaojiao still wasn’t reassured and said, "Next time you have to do rough work , leave it to me."

Lin Lele took a deep breath: "You! You! I’m going to call the police! I’m going to call the police! I’m going to call the police!"

On the side, nobody paid attention to Lin Lele, who was hopping mad and shouting.

Yue Qiguang said nonchalantly, "Number 4444, your move was quick and decisive, definitely interesting, but the lethality is still too little. If I had done it, her head would have burst immediately!"

Yue Qiyuan shook his head and said, "The move was fast, but not elegant enough. If it were me, blood would be shed in one move."

Shen Changqing fell silent for a moment before saying, "Although it’s wrong to hit people, this time I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything."

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth and snickered, "Poor ghost, though you usually look miserably thrifty, it was really handsome of you to make a move today..."

Lin Lele was so angry she was about to explode. Just as she was about to curse, she caught sight of the police car whizzing in. She hooked up the corners of her mouth, looking triumphantly at everyone: "The police are here! You all are done for."

In the school police office.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan, the six of them huddled together, crouching on the ground.

Mu Jianling held a ruler in hand, with a glint in her eyes: "Do you realize what you’ve done wrong?"

Ji You gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted, "Teacher, it was all my doing. I am willing to accept all the punishment. It has nothing to do with them."

Mu Jianling glanced at her coldly.

Ji You stiffened her scalp, facing the enormous pressure coming from Teacher Mu Jianling, and said, "I was the one who acted. There’s surveillance footage as proof. I believe the teacher and the police will surely enforce the law impartially."

Mu Jianling’s tone became stern: "What’s the rush? You can’t escape anyway."

Lin Lele stood aside, the smugness on her face impossible to hide.

Teacher Mu’s gaze swept over Lin Lele inadvertently before she took a deep breath, looked at Ji You coldly, and said, "Your mistake lies in knowing that you’re breaking regulations and still striking others. As for them—"

She paused, her eyes sweeping over Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... one by one, Teacher Mu continued: "Their mistake lies in knowing you were breaking regulations but not stopping you."

Ji You opened her mouth: "Teacher... I accept the punishment."

Teacher Mu snorted coldly: "Shut your mouth! If you dare make a sound again, you’ll receive a heavier punishment."

Even though Teacher Mu’s tone and expression seemed very calm on the surface, the rage hidden beneath this calmness was enough to make Ji You and the others tremble in fear. They silently bowed their heads, listening quietly, not daring to utter another sound.

Lin Lele, with her head held high, said, "Teacher Mu, as the victim, I demand serious punishment for them! Ji You, who led the infraction, should be expelled."
