Chapter 286 Yuan Jingjing's Shock
Chapter 286 Yuan Jingjing's Shock
Yuan Jingjing's face, which always carried a touch of gentle beauty, had long since lost all its warmth, leaving only icy indifference and suppressed anger.
She spotted the three people in the room at a glance.
When her gaze swept over Si Qingwan and then landed on Lin Yuechan, her pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
She forced down her shock and unease, stepped inside, and said coldly, "Vice Principal, you wanted to see me?"
Lin Yuechan did not get up, but sat there quietly, her cold phoenix eyes sweeping over her indifferently.
"Ms. Yuan Jingjing, please have a seat."
Yuan Jingjing didn't move; she just stood there coldly.
Lin Yuechan didn't mind. She picked up a glass of water next to her, took a small sip, and then slowly spoke.
"I've heard about the cost of Lin Qiye's nutritional supplement." Her voice was calm, yet carried an invisible pressure. "I want to know, what exactly do you mean by 'needing to verify carefully'?"
Yuan Jingjing took a deep breath and sneered, "Acting Vice Principal, as one of the initiators and guarantors of this project, isn't it procedurally correct for me to question and verify such a huge, far-from-expected expense?"
"That's acceptable." Lin Yuechan nodded and put down her water glass. "However, at this crucial juncture, with only one day left before the Ten Schools Joint Examination, you've cut off his subsequent supply of cultivation resources. Teacher Yuan Jingjing, don't you think this timing... is a bit too coincidental?"
"What do you mean?!" Yuan Jingjing's face instantly turned extremely ugly. "Are you suspecting that I'm deliberately targeting him?!"
"I have no doubts," Lin Yuechan's voice remained icy. "I'm simply stating a fact."
Si Qingwan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up at the right time. A perfectly timed smile was on her charming face, but her voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Yes, Ms. Yuan Jingjing, Lin Qiye is the top scorer in our school's ten-school joint exam this time, and he's the team captain. If his performance is affected by resource issues before the competition, I wonder who can bear the responsibility?"
Yuan Jingjing sneered inwardly, "You're using this as an excuse to pressure me?"
She said coldly, "If it were used by him personally, I would absolutely not stop him. However, perhaps you, Vice Principal, are unaware that he has already used 588 boxes of nutritional paste during this period! What does that number represent? Ten peak ten-star martial artists wouldn't use that many, right? You say I'm hindering him? This is what I've said to you, and this is what I've said to everyone! I'm only acting in the public interest; I have no personal motives whatsoever!"
After saying that, Yuan Jingjing felt smug.
This reason is perfectly reasonable, and no one can find fault with it!
However, Lin Yuechan simply nodded calmly.
"Um……"
Just when Yuan Jingjing thought that Lin Yuechan couldn't do anything to her, a cold voice rang out.
"I think Lin Qiye's usage is perfectly fine."
It was Lin Yuechan herself who spoke!
Yuan Jingjing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
Lin Yuechan, hello there! So you're protecting her like this, huh?!
"Acting Vice Principal, no matter what you say, I will not sign it! I still need to report this matter to the principal and vice principal when they return!"
Lin Yuechan nodded and said calmly, "Okay. Even if you don't report it, I will."
Yuan Jingjing: "???"
She was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Si Qingwan, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Yuan Jingjing's expression.
Yuan Jingjing frowned, her anger growing stronger.
What tricks are Lin Yuechan and Si Qingwan playing?!
Just then, Lin Qiye, who had been silent all along, finished another box of nutritional paste.
Lin Yuechan glanced at Lin Qiye and slowly spoke.
"Teacher Yuan Jingjing, you may not know, but Lin Qiye has already... stepped into the extraordinary realm."
"what?"
When Yuan Jingjing heard Lin Yuechan's words, she wondered if she had misheard.
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the calm boy in front of her.
"What...what did you say?!"
Those words, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in Yuan Jingjing's mind.
Her first reaction wasn't shock, but absurdity!
Utterly absurd!
"Transcendent?" She reacted as if she'd heard the funniest joke of the century. For the first time, undisguised sarcasm appeared on her cold, pretty face. "Lin Yuechan, do you take me for a three-year-old? How long has he been enrolled? Three months at most! You're telling me he's already reached the transcendent level?!"
She pointed a finger at Lin Qiye, her voice sharp with emotion: "To exonerate him, you've fabricated such an outrageous lie! You've all teamed up to make a fool of me!"
Si Qingwan stood to the side, covering her red lips with her hand and letting out a soft laugh. Her usually affectionate peach blossom eyes were now filled with a mischievous glint of anticipation.
Yuan Jingjing suddenly turned her head and glared at Si Qingwan.
Then, she turned her gaze back to Lin Yuechan.
"Lin Yuechan! I will never compromise on this matter! Unless... unless you can produce evidence!"
She was certain they couldn't produce any evidence!
Extraordinary is extraordinary, and a martial artist is a martial artist. This is a leap in the level of life, an ironclad rule that cannot be faked!
Lin Yuechan looked at her hysterical state with her eyes still cold, even carrying a trace of pity.
She didn't argue with Yuan Jingjing anymore, but simply turned her gaze gently to Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye understood.
He simply looked calmly at Yuan Jingjing, and then, a thought struck him.
boom--!!!
An indescribable, boundless torrent of terrifying will, like a cosmic storm that had been building up for millennia, erupted from his body without warning!
That wasn't just one, but a full six!
Six distinct martial wills transformed into a torrent of will powerful enough to crush stars and purify all things, sweeping outwards!
This time, not only Yuan Jingjing, but also Si Qingwan and Lin Yuechan standing next to Lin Qiye, had their expressions change drastically!
Especially Yuan Jingjing!
Her proud martial will at the peak of the Condensation Realm was as fragile as a candle flame in a storm in the face of this torrent that was like a natural disaster or divine punishment. It was instantly blown and flickered, almost collapsing on the spot!
She couldn't even put up the slightest resistance!
An unparalleled, terrifying pressure emanating from the deepest part of her soul slammed into her mental world!
"Thump!"
Yuan Jingjing's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the cold alloy floor, her face turning deathly pale in an instant, her eyes filled with pure, incomprehensible horror and fear!
