Chapter 223

"Mm, I believe him too!"

Mu Rong and Deng Xin were extremely worried!

Zhuge Chaoyue had a strange look on his face!

Seeing the scene of the crowd's agitation, Bai Jing was utterly speechless!

He shouted loudly, "Everyone, shut up!"

The crowd was stunned; having done wrong, they still dared to scold us?

"Hopeless, hopeless, this guy is already hopeless! Destroy it, hurry up!"

"You are the hopeless ones!"

Bai Jing roared, "Who said I killed the Altaria? Open your dog eyes and look up!"

Look up?

Everyone turned their gaze toward the sky!

"Huh? It seems something is falling!"

"That is... the Altaria!"

"That's right, it is the Altaria!"

"So it wasn't blasted into pieces, but blasted high into the sky, and now it's falling down!"

Having lost and then regained it, Student Yun Ying was overjoyed!

"Altaria!"

He quickly released a Swellow to safely catch the unconscious Altaria.

The referee stepped forward to check, "It has only lost its ability to fight, there is no serious injury!"

"That's great, you're fine, that's great!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, fortunately, no one really died!

But what followed was unbearable embarrassment; facing Bai Jing's face of cold sneers, each one wore a look of awkward laughter.

"Sorry, Brother Bai, we wrongly accused you!"

"Get lost!"

Bai Jing raised his middle finger at them, then gestured at Principal Guan Bei as well!

Principal Guan Bei was so angry; this kid hadn't acted recklessly, but he was becoming increasingly audacious!

However, who made himself wrong him? He had just spoken so harshly; it was only natural for the other to be angry!

"Ahem~ Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding. Students, remember, pay attention to propriety during future competitions; if something really happens, it won't be good!"

"Alright, I announce that the fifth spot is taken by Student Bai Jing!"

"Student Bai Jing, keep working hard; I still have high expectations for you!"

"That's all, meeting adjourned!"

Having spoken, Principal Guan Bei hurriedly slipped away; otherwise, if that kid caught him, it would never end!

"Tch, can the monk run but the temple cannot? Next time, if I don't pull out a few of your whiskers, I won't be surnamed Bai!"

Afterwards, the students, led by their respective instructors, returned to their own classes, engaging in the final nagging before the holiday.

After nagging a whole bunch, Cao De said gratefully, "For the upcoming National University Exchange Tournament next semester, our class is honored to occupy three of the five spots; this makes me very proud!"

"But you must not become complacent, especially the three students who are about to compete; even during the holiday, you cannot slack off; strive to bring back a good ranking from the tournament!"

"Alright, students, see you next semester!"

The students cheered and shouted like a bunch of madmen; isn't this the moment they have been waiting for while studying?

Bai Jing stepped onto the desk, raised his arm, and shouted, "Students, to celebrate the holiday, let's have a collective streak!"

"Great! This is great!"

"We strongly agree!"

This proposal received a unanimous vote from the boys!

"The girls go first!"

"Agreed!"

"Streak!"

"Streak!"

"Shameless!"

The girls covered their flushed faces and fled in panic amidst the boys' laughter and whistling!

Then the boys turned their gaze together toward Mu Rong and Deng Xin beside Bai Jing, scaring the two to hide behind him; they spun frantically three hundred and sixty degrees around his waist, causing someone to grimace in pain!

"What are you looking at? Only they are not allowed!"

"Tch!"

"Brother Bai, since the girls are unwilling, how about you perform one on the spot?"

Bai Jing raised his middle finger, "Get lost!"

Except for a few staying at school, the students one by one carried their luggage out of the school and took vehicles to the station.

Bai Jing's four dorm mates and Mu Rong, the two of them, went to an outside restaurant to gather.

"After this meal, we will meet again in a month!"

"Isn't it just a month? It passes in the blink of an eye; no need to make such tearful scenes!"

"By the way, buddy, do you really plan not to go home?"

"No, Brother Bai's Pokémon shop is about to open; it is a busy time; I want to stay and help!"

Bai Jing said, "If you want to stay, I cannot stop you, but does your family agree?"

"It's fine, I've already told my family! And my dad's recovery is going well—he can already get out of bed and walk around. With my mom and little brother there, they can handle things."

"They also said, once dad's injury is healed, the whole family will come over to thank you!"

"No need for thanks—just come visit!"

"Good brothers don't need to say all that. Come on, let's drink!"

"Drink!"

After finishing their meal, Feng Feiyi and Li Shaobao were the first to leave. Student Mu Rong and Deng Xin pulled Bai Jing aside.

"Classmate Bai Jing, we'll come find you to hang out during New Year."

"Sure, you're welcome—and I'll introduce my parents to you while you're at it."

"Ah? This…"

813

A blush crept across both girls' cheeks—meeting the parents? But we weren't mentally prepared for this!

"Don't worry, they'll like you!"

Is this a question of whether they'll like us or not? This is a question of being nervous, alright?!

"Then it's settled, we're off!"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

The two girls got into the car waiting by the road and drove off.

Bai Jing brought Tie Xiong back home.

The renovation was already complete—the first floor was the shop, the second floor was where his parents lived, and the third floor belonged to Bai Jing.

There was also a spacious backyard for the spirits to live in.

The shop was too spacious, so they had specially set up a few partitioned rooms for sundries and goods.

After discussion between Bai Yutang and Hua Ying, they decided to also sell some spirit merchandise—otherwise the space really was too large.

Shop name: Boutique Spirit Shop.

Evening, at the dinner table.

"You rascal—if you stay, what about things at home? New Year should have the whole family together. I think you'd better head back, come again after the new year."

"Uncle, I've already decided, you don't need to persuade me further!"

"You child, you really are a rascal!"

Hua Ying came out carrying the last dish and said, "If the child wants to stay, then let him stay!"

"Tie-zi, treat this like your own home, no need to be polite with your aunt!"

"Okay, Auntie!"
