Chapter 244: The Truth Comes to Light, Seeking Justice

When Shen Jingbin arrived at Great Xia Academy carrying the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs, the old man's face was already filled with an expression of despair.

He never imagined that after living a clean and upright life, he would end up ruining his reputation in his twilight years just because he encountered such a lunatic.

Even without thinking, the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs knew that the trending news would soon be about him flying freely through the streets and alleys of the capital while sitting on a toilet.

And when they saw the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs sitting on the toilet, the high-level officials of Great Xia Academy, such as Yan Lanbing and Huang Xiaopo, were completely stunned.

"What is going on..." Yan Lanbing felt that her CPU was not quite enough to process this.

"Stop talking nonsense, save him quickly!"

Without a word, Shen Jingbin plucked the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs off the toilet and then casually helped him pull up his pants, the entire sequence of actions smooth and fluid.

The Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs was so angry his face turned gray, and his body began to tremble.

"This is outrageous... simply outrageous! In my entire life, I have never suffered such a humiliating insult! You Great Xia Academy have gone too far!"

The Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs roared, his eyes even turning red; one could see just how desperate and resentful he felt inside.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs, he isn't quite right in the head."

Yan Lanbing had a massive headache; if she had known, she shouldn't have let Shen Jingbin go.

"Look, how about this: besides settling the medical fees as usual, our Great Xia Academy will compensate you with this much, and we will owe you a favor on top of that, how about it?"

Yan Lanbing pulled the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs aside and held up three fingers.

"Impossible! At least this much!" The Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs angrily held up five fingers.

"Deal! Save him quickly!"

Yan Lanbing agreed immediately.

"Hahahaha! Dean Yan is indeed straightforward. In ancient times, the military genius Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, so what is this small insult to me? I will save him now! Where is the person?"

The Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs changed his expression at lightning speed, instantly going from furious to amiable.

"Over here, over here!"

Yan Lanbing hurriedly brought the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs to Ye Lin's side; for Great Xia Academy, Ye Lin was certainly more important than Duan Ling.

At this moment, Ye Lin suddenly woke up, dragged his battered body to sit up, and pointed at Duan Ling.

"Medicine Venerable, please save her first, I am fine."

"That works too."

The Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs nodded. In his eyes, there was no distinction between important or unimportant; he had always treated patients equally—if they paid, he would treat them.

He walked in front of Duan Ling, and under the urging of his powerful healing techniques, the wounds on Duan Ling's body began to heal rapidly, the newly grown skin as delicate as a peeled egg.

Seeing this, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Ye Lin wake up, Yan Lanbing and Professor Shen and the others gathered around.

"What happened? How did you get hurt like this?" Shen Jingbin was the first to ask.

"It's nothing, Professor Shen... I just accidentally took a fall."

Ye Lin shook his head, his eyes darting away, as if he had been left with psychological trauma after encountering something terrifying.

"Bullshit! How could you get hurt like this from a fall? Did someone bully you? I'll shove their head into their own asshole!" Shen Jingbin was furious.

"Ye Lin, you and student Duan Ling, what exactly did you encounter in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm? You can tell us, the academy will stand up for you!" Yan Lanbing, who was to the side, also said in a deep voice.

"Dean! Professor Shen, please don't ask anymore, okay? I can't say, I really can't say! I don't want to see Great Xia Academy get into trouble!"

Ye Lin pursed his lips and closed his eyes in pain.

The high-level officials of Great Xia Academy felt their hearts skip a beat upon hearing this.

What exactly did Ye Lin and the others encounter that could cause trouble for Great Xia Academy?

"Did you... offend a certain head of one of the Five Great Families?" Yan Lanbing asked cautiously.

"No."

"Then did you kill a direct descendant of the Five Great Families?"

"Neither."

"Could it be... you offended the Great Xia Son of Heaven?"

Yan Lanbing gasped. Excluding the Five Great Families, the only one who could cause trouble for Great Xia Academy was the Son of Heaven!

Seeing Ye Lin remain silent, Yan Lanbing felt even more panicked.

"You actually offended the Great Xia Son of Heaven!"

"It's neither, Dean, stop guessing blindly." Ye Lin shook his head.

"Phew..." Yan Lanbing let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing this, "It's good you didn't offend the Son of Heaven, it's good you didn't..."

"Then what is the matter? You're killing me with anxiety!" Shen Jingbin was so anxious he was spinning around like a top next to Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin, don't be afraid, feel free to speak. Great Xia Academy is not as weak as you think. Aside from the Five Great Families and the Son of Heaven, other existences are basically on par with our Great Xia Academy; they wouldn't be enough to cause our academy trouble," Yan Lanbing persuaded.

"Really, Dean?" Ye Lin raised his wet eyes, which were filled with grievance.

"Yes! Feel free to speak, why were you and Duan Ling so severely injured?"

"It's... the Supreme Academy." Ye Lin clenched his fists tightly, his face full of humiliation; because he was using too much force, his nails dug into his flesh, and blood dripped out drop by drop.

"The Supreme Academy?" The high-level officials of Great Xia Academy exclaimed, and then they roughly guessed what was going on.

Vice Dean Huang Xiaopo stepped forward to comfort him.

"Ye Lin, the students in the Supreme Academy are all heaven's pride; it's normal that you didn't beat them, no need to belittle yourself."

"Ah? Vice Dean, what are you saying? I won, all seven of them together couldn't beat me." Ye Lin said truthfully.

Yan Lanbing: "?"

Huang Xiaopo: "!"

Shen Jingbin: "~"

"That's not right, if you won, why are you covered in injuries?" Yan Lanbing pressed.

"Their teacher attacked!" Ye Lin's eyes were filled with unwillingness. "I wanted to resist, but that teacher was too strong. With just one strike, she severely injured me. If it weren't for Duan Ling, I wouldn't even have had the chance to return to the academy alive!"

"That teacher is named Wen Tianyan. At first, she wanted to recruit me to join the Supreme Academy. I remembered the cultivation you all gave me, so naturally, I didn't agree! As a result, she attacked me directly!"

"She also warned me that if I dared to speak out, not only would I suffer, but Great Xia Academy would also suffer."

After saying this, Ye Lin closed his eyes in pain.

"Just let the Medicine Venerable of Hundred Herbs treat Duan Ling; don't treat my wounds. Only scars can make me remember the humiliation in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a young man because he is poor. I will collect this debt myself sooner or later!"

Listening to Ye Lin's sonorous and powerful words, Yan Lanbing and the others all fell silent, though the cold glint surging in their eyes and the oppressive atmosphere around them all indicated the suppressed anger in their hearts.

And when they looked at Ye Lin, the cold glint in their eyes turned into heartache.

What a sensible child!

To keep them from worrying, he actually wanted to hide the whole thing, which made Yan Lanbing and the others burn with even more rage.

"Supreme Academy? Good... very good! As a teacher, to actually lay a hand on a student, they really have no shame at all!"

A cold glint flashed in Yan Lanbing's eyes, and then she said in a deep voice.

"Professor Shen, don't kill anyone, but you can cause as much trouble as you want! Go ahead! As long as no one dies, even if the sky falls, I'll cover for you!"

Generally speaking, as long as the other party was reasonable, Great Xia Academy would never deploy Professor Shen.

But when Great Xia Academy deployed Professor Shen, it meant Great Xia Academy was prepared to be unreasonable!

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingbin was stunned for a moment, then used his index and middle fingers to pinch a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

The white smoke blurred Shen Jingbin's face, and his low, magnetic voice came from behind the smoke.

"It's been so many years, and finally someone has told me that I can cause as much trouble as I want!"

Shen Jingbin covered his face with one hand and suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Listening to Shen Jingbin's laughter, Yan Lanbing suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Many thanks for the Dean's trust. I, Shen Jingbin, will certainly not fail the mission; I will go to the Supreme Academy to seek justice for my beloved disciple!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Jingbin disappeared from where he stood.

The next second, everyone suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble, and immediately after, a black shadow broke through the air and left!

"Go quickly and see what Professor Shen has done!" Yan Lanbing hurriedly ordered Huang Xiaopo.

A moment later, Huang Xiaopo rushed back with a look of horror.

"It's bad, Dean! Professor Shen has carried away our Great Xia Academy's septic tank!"
