Chapter 144: Evil Begets Evil

Feng Xiran watched as Su Ruo gradually approached, her eyes filled with deep fear.

She said with a trembling voice: "Don't, this is the dormitory, you can't hurt me."

But Su Ruo directly snorted: "Feng Xiran, you only now know fear—don't you think it's too late?"

Back when you wanted to use this thing to harm someone, why weren't you afraid?

Even from the moment you decided to do bad things, you should have anticipated today's outcome.

After Su Ruo finished speaking and snapped her fingers, hundreds of insects appeared out of thin air, coming from all directions and instantly surrounding Feng Xiran, who then suffered a frenzy of tearing bites.

Feng Xiran lay on the bed, screaming in anguish, while Su Ruo simply pretended not to hear.

Half an hour later, all the insects receded, leaving behind mangled, bloody flesh; Feng Xiran had become a blood-soaked figure.

Feng Xiran stared at Su Ruo, her eyes brimming with deep hatred, and she hoarsely said: "Su Ruo, I will never let you off!"

Su Ruo curled her lips into a smile: "Good! I'm waiting."

After taking revenge on Feng Xiran, Su Ruo felt her whole body refreshed.

She returned to her bunk to sleep, not noticing that Guan Yue in the neighboring bunk had opened her eyes at some point, only to close them again shortly after.

Two days later, when Su Ruo woke up in the morning, Feng Xiran had already left; it was obvious that someone as beauty‑loving and face‑conscious as her would never let others see her in such a sorry state.

Over a hundred parcels—even if the people behind Feng Xiran wanted to save her, they'd likely face some trouble; this is the generous gift Su Ruo prepared for them.

Su Ruo packed her things and left the dormitory, because she needed to study how to cure her master's wife's illness; thus, these days she stopped attending classes with everyone and instead practiced nonstop in the courtyard her master had arranged for her.

She strove to increase the precision of her hands.

She had 001 help her find many small animals with tumors on their heads, then practiced on them.

It was essential to raise the accuracy of her incisions to one hundred percent; only then could the master's wife's surgery possibly succeed.

Su Ruo knew that if there was the slightest deviation during the surgery, her master's wife would die on the spot.

But wanting to raise the accuracy to one hundred percent was nearly impossible, so Su Ruo practiced day and night to the point of forgetting sleep and food.

Yet Su Ruo never expected that while she was diligently studying medicine, rumors had already begun spreading throughout the school.

Some rumors about Su Ruo abusing small animals spread like wind across the entire campus, growing ever more intense.

Even when Su Ruo went to get a meal, she would encounter strange looks from some classmates.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiu was furious; his disciple, who wholeheartedly studied medicine to heal and save people, saw these idle people actually spreading vicious rumors that gravely harmed her.

Yan Jiu wanted to dispel the rumors for Su Ruo, but she refused.

Now the whole school knows Yan Jiu is her master; no matter what he says is, everyone thinks he is deliberately covering for her.

Since that's the case, it's better to say nothing at all—after all, the clear will clear themselves, the turbid will turbid themselves; Su Ruo will not be affected by those rumors.

But Su Ruo didn't expect that ignoring these people would only make them more arrogant and overreaching.

In the end, they actually blocked her right at the courtyard gate.

Led by Sun Yanni, several people firmly believed Su Ruo was a perverted animal abuser, demanding the school severely punish her and expel her immediately.

Su Ruo curled her lips into a cold arc; she didn't believe Sun Yanni alone could stir up such a commotion—if there were no involvement from the Feng Family, she wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death.

Since Sun Yanni rushed over to offer her head, Su Ruo naturally wouldn't be polite to her.

"Sun Yanni, you keep saying I abuse small animals; I ask you, if you search the courtyard and find no evidence, what then?"

"Impossible! Someone personally saw that you're keeping only small animals here, and witnessed you personally cutting open their bodies, subjecting them to inhumane abuse and torture."

After Sun Yanni finished speaking, the crowd instantly became stirred up; at this moment, in their eyes, Su Ruo had already become a demon.

Su Ruo didn't bother with them anymore; since Sun Yanni was seeking her own death, Su Ruo felt no need to pity her.

Su Ruo directly faced the school's leaders and said: "Since they don't trust me, they can search this courtyard.

But this courtyard was allocated by the school to my master; doing this, they are not only distrusting me, but also questioning my master's character.

Therefore, if after investigation the facts turn out not as they imagined, I hope the school can give me and my master an explanation.

As for those who spread the rumors and the masterminds behind them, they should be dealt with seriously, making those who wronged me write apology letters and publicly apologize to me and my master."

As soon as Su Ruo said that, many people's hearts sank, after all, they claimed she abused small animals but had never actually seen it.

Seeing Su Ruo so resolute, Sun Yanni wavered a bit, but whenever she thought of the promise that person had made—if things succeeded, they would give her something—her gaze became firm again.

Actually, the school leaders didn't really want to come either, but the matter had blown up so much that they had no choice but to make this trip.

But no one expected that when they opened the courtyard gate before them, the imagined bloody scene did not appear; instead, they saw a scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant.

In the courtyard, small rabbits, cats, and even dogs were happily running about, completely different from the cruel, blood‑thirsty scene those students had described.

Sun Yanni exclaimed in disbelief: "No way, no way, how could this be?"

Sun Yanni angrily pointed at Su Ruo and said: "It must be you—you hid all those injured small animals."

She immediately walked up to a small cat, hoping to find scars or signs of abuse on its body, but no matter how she searched, she found none.

Sun Yanni then frenziedly grabbed a small dog, hoping to find wounds on it to prove Su Ruo abused small animals.

But these small animals had not a single wound on their bodies.

"How could this be? How could there be none? How could it possibly be none…" Sun Yanni stared blankly at all of this.

Su Ruo said with an icy face: "Sun Yanni, don't forget what you said earlier—I'm waiting for your apology letter."

Sun Yanni had always excelled in her studies from childhood; she had never endured such humiliation.

But now, with so many leaders present, she couldn't avoid doing it.

Sun Yanni harbored resentment, blaming everything on Su Ruo, believing that if it weren't for Su Ruo, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Yet she never considered that if it weren't for her own greed, none of this would have happened.

Su Ruo had given her a chance; it was she herself who failed to seize it.
