Chapter 85: Jiang Yun Chu, how dare you!

"Our chopsticks are over there." Kang Wen pointed at the ground; those rows of chopsticks were the fruits of their long labor.

They have no chopsticks—how are they supposed to catch insects!

Jiang Yun Chu gave a cold snort, "No chopsticks? Just use your hands."

Kang Wen was about to speak when Kang Wu hastily grabbed his brother and ran; otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as using hands.

Never challenge the Dean's bottom line, because the Dean has absolutely no bottom line!

"Kang Zhi Xia, I don't care how you lord it over the Kang Clan."

Jiang Yun Chu's voice was faint, yet in this quiet courtyard it was clearly heard.

"But in Chun Hua Xue Yuan, if you're a dragon, you coil; if you're a tiger, you lie down!"

Having finished speaking, she lightly sipped a cup of clear tea, then lifted her gaze to the person hanging from the tree, "Understand?"

Just……

The child in the tree still hasn't learned to behave.

Although Kang Zhi Xia is willful, unlike the Second and Grand Madams, she also beats children; that willow switch is often used, and Kang Zhi Xia's nature is mischievous.

Moreover, it's related to age—at eight years old, he's right in the rebellious phase; the more adults tell him what to do, the less he wants to do it.

Tell him to beat the dog, and he chases the chicken instead!

"In that case, Bai Zhi, let those who don't catch insects feel……"

She smiled, like a demon.

Everyone catching insects shivered.

Even Kang Wu's complexion changed.

It's over, Zhi Xia's brother is over! He's going to die!

"The charm of insects." Jiang Yun Chu's words were like another shoe—*pa*—landing on the ground.

And for some people, their hearts, which had just died, died again instantly.

"Jiang Yun Chu, you can't treat me like this—I came to the academy, I am the Young Master of the Kang Clan."

"Jiang Yun Chu, how dare you!"

The boy who had just been calm, ready to die rather than comply, now didn't even notice the spikes below and began to shout loudly.

Seeing those green, wriggling insects, moving back and forth, his body hair stood straight up.

Just……

Only one person in the world can make Bai Zhi obey.

That person is Jiang Yun Chu!

At her command, no one heeded his resistance; the green, glistening insects were placed in his hand.

It didn't hurt, but the wriggling sensation made his breath catch.

Submit?

She doesn't need submission!

She needs, at the first moment, to make them dare not cause trouble, dare not act.

What she wants is their fear!

Only then will tomorrow's lessons not be delayed, and the fusion speed can be maximized.

"Ning Hanmo." Jiang Yun Chu ignored Kang Zhi Xia's shouting and then called a name.

Ning Hanmo, who was catching insects, immediately ran back, "Here!"

"Do you know you were wrong?" Her voice was light, without any emotion.

"I know!" Ning Hanmo nodded; he had now calmed down.

Jiang Yun Chu ate a snack, then said to Kang Zhi Xia over there, "Shout louder—the spikes below are lonely, they always want to see blood."

……

The person who had just been shouting loudly now remembered the spikes below, his eyes widened, he shut his mouth, and dared not shout again.

Moreover, he felt that the disgusting insect had already crawled onto his arm.

Wuwu wu!

He obeyed, he was wrong, he would never dare again.

Over here, Jiang Yun Chu looked at Ning Hanmo, "Tell me."

"I shouldn't have struck first; striking first is wrong—we are classmates."

Ning Hanmo finished speaking, lifted his eyes to Jiang Yun Chu; he didn't care about his own punishment, he only feared disappointing his mother.

Jiang Yun Chu looked at him and then said, "Assume the horse stance; whenever you rise, you rise."

"Yes!" Ning Hanmo's heart suddenly loosened; he immediately squatted and performed a standard horse stance.

The whole courtyard was bustling, split into three groups.

One was hanging from the tree, making wuwu wu noises, unknown what sound.

One was squatting on the ground in a horse stance, drenched in sweat, some soaking his eyes; he just kept blinking, not daring to wipe his hands.

The remaining few quietly caught insects.

What's catching insects with the hand? It's scarier when the insect crawls on your body.

Holding the horse stance isn't good either—how long has it been? Still squatting, legs might break.

Yet no one dared to speak; Kang Wen, whose thoughts usually leapt about, was now extremely honest, adopting a posture of "don't notice me, don't notice me, don't notice me."

"Today he hasn't even entered the classroom, so you're not yet classmates."

"You have many ways to deal with him, yet you handed the initiative over to the locals, simply because you struck first."

"Obviously you could provoke the other side into striking first!"

Kang Wu, Ning Qiancheng, Ning Hanmo's eyes all changed.

While Kang Wen and Kang Zhi Xia's backs underwent a change, cold… so cold…

"Whoever strikes first is in the wrong; that's how people are—they don't care about the cause, only want to know the result."

"Did you learn those battle tactics for nothing?"

Jiang Yun Chu's voice was not low; everyone in the courtyard heard it. Ning Hanmo was already gritting his teeth, and he had held the horse stance for two quarters of an hour.

"Son… you know, you were wrong."

He gritted his teeth, speaking word by word with pauses; the trembling in his legs grew larger and larger.

But he didn't stop, persisting all along, his teeth clenched tight; under the sun's rays, several children were under the blazing sun, exhausted and drenched in sweat.

She watched the sunlight filter through the gaps in the trees, casting dappled shadows.

"Get up." she said.

Getting up—he couldn't get up at all, and he fell straight backward.

But behind him, several youths all reached out at once to help him up.

Ning Hanmo didn't fall to the ground; instead, he let everyone help him up and stand.

Jiang Yun Chu seeing their state still felt relieved; there could be strife, there could be rifts, but they would always remain a whole.

"Let him down, it's up to you." Jiang Yun Chu looked at Ning Hanmo.

Ning Hanmo pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, "Don't move the spikes below, don't move the bugs on your body; as for the rest, whether to save or kill is up to you."

She rose and left.

She merely glanced at the shadow and made a gesture.

The hidden five in the shadow gritted his teeth, "So I'm also part of the Princess Consort's plan?"

Ning Hanmo looked at his sore arm; now even lifting his leg was difficult—he… could he really save someone?

If he meant to save someone, he'd probably end up killing them instead.

"My arm is sore, my leg is trembling." He looked at Kang Zhi Xia and spoke the truth directly.

Everyone could see that the seated him, his leg still trembled unnaturally; that shuddering arc, Kang Zhi Xia hanging from the tree also saw it.

So he felt even more weary of life.

Scolding someone—does he dare?
