Jiang Wei looked at Sun Mei with a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes. "Miss, having eye problems is a minor issue, but having brain problems is a major one."
Since they claimed this woman was a perfect match for Wu Yu, they must be birds of a feather. After all, what normal woman would stay with Wu Yu after hearing his extreme double standards and insults toward women day in and day out?
Sun Mei was instantly stunned, her face turning pale. "How, how is this possible?"
Wu Yu was a powerful figure she had gone to great lengths to secure. How could she lose him? Moreover, Wu Yu was backed by the Wu family, and many people in the higher echelons of Black Gold Academy owed them favors. Wu Yu had told her this, so how could anyone dare to lay a hand on him?
Didn't the previous deaths get quickly swept under the rug? How could this happen?
Just then, her eyes suddenly fell upon Bai Xi, and she was startled. She shouted, "It's you! You must have done something to Wu Yu, haven't you!"
Faced with the sudden accusation, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Xi.
Most students from the Martial Arts Department knew what had happened, but not a single one dared to speak. The students from the Medical Department, however, were clearly clueless and seemed to be enjoying the drama like onlookers.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, her eyes looking at Sun Mei indifferently, as if she were looking at an idiot, completely unwilling to engage.
Seeing that Bai Xi ignored her, Sun Mei took it as a sign of guilt.
She must have thought that Wu Yu had secretly gone to seek revenge for her, but Bai Xi had set a trap, and then used her illicit relationship with Principal Wei to get Wu Yu arrested!
"Bai Xi, you are truly shameless! Having a boyfriend and yet maintaining an improper relationship with Principal Wei, you are disgusting. I advise you to release Wu Yu immediately, or I will ensure that your sordid affairs with Principal Wei become known throughout Black Gold Academy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Martial Arts Department fell silent again, their eyes wide.
What... what was this? In such a short time, they had encountered such a shocking piece of gossip!
The Martial Arts Department students were somewhat better off, as they knew that Wu Yu had provoked Bai Xi and Han Mo earlier, been taught a lesson by them, and even Elder Gao couldn't stand it. They even suspected that Elder Gao had notified the school security team.
However, with Sun Mei's accusation, they also started to make their own conjectures, and even looked at Han Mo with a bit of "sympathy."
*The verdant fields of humanity need watering...*
The Medical Department students, who had no idea what was going on, looked at Bai Xi with disgust and revulsion upon hearing Sun Mei's words.
"No way, this student looks so youthful and beautiful, how could she fall for someone so old?"
"Heh, fall for someone so old? She's not looking at the person, but at the capital and power behind them."
"I heard this is the advanced class of the Martial Arts Department. The fact that this new student can be here probably says it all."
"What are you all being so sour about? She got in on her own merits. However, not the merit of fighting in the martial arts arena, but the merit of fighting in bed."
"This is simply moral decay and corruption. Black Gold Academy actually has such a scandal."
"This student, it's one thing if you don't respect yourself, but you've also dragged our respected Principal into this. This is too much. Let's pool some money together, and you can get out of Black Gold Academy quickly, okay?"
"..."
Mistress, gold digger, selling her body... these were all hot topics. In an instant, a torrent of scolding erupted from the Medical Department students.
At this moment, Sun Mei wore a triumphant expression, looking at Bai Xi with a hint of challenge in her eyes.
Sun Mei's thought was that now that the matter had blown up, even Principal Wei would have to avoid involvement to clear his name. At that time, Wu Yu would naturally return, and Bai Xi would be ruined and expelled from Black Gold Academy.
Yan Feng, listening to the increasingly unpleasant words, finally lost his patience. "Enough, shut up! Anyone who dares to utter another piece of baseless nonsense will have to leave our Martial Arts Department."
Although Jiang Wei didn't know why Sun Mei was saying this, her intuition told her that Bai Xi was definitely not that kind of person. Perhaps Bai Xi did know Principal Wei and was highly valued by him, but that would be due to Bai Xi's exceptional abilities, not because of any unspeakable secrets with Principal Wei.
"To slander a classmate and insult the principal so casually, you've probably been around Wu Yu for too long and let him influence your brain. Since you miss him so much, why don't I send you to the Security Bureau right now so you can be reunited!"
With that, he clenched his fists and walked towards Sun Mei.
Sun Mei, looking at the sturdy and muscular Jiang Wei, backed away in fear. "You, you, you what are you doing? Don't come any closer! I'm your classmate, you can't lay a hand on me! Teacher Yan, are people from your Martial Arts Department this lawless? Don't you do anything about it."
Yan Feng's expression was blank; he acted as if he hadn't heard or seen anything.
Just then, Bai Xi stepped forward, blocking Jiang Wei. "I'll handle this myself."
Jiang Wei was slightly stunned and then smiled. "Okay."
Bai Xi turned and looked coldly at Sun Mei, her eyes clear and calm.
Frankly, in her opinion, the instigator behind all this was none other than Sun Mei standing before her.
She had initially thought that Wu Yu had received his due punishment and paid the price for his actions last night. If Sun Mei saw his fate and kept a low profile, laying low, she would have let the matter go. But since she refused, there was nothing she could do but deal with her as well.
Seeing Bai Xi step forward and stand between her and Jiang Wei, Sun Mei became even more convinced that her guess was correct. At this moment, Bai Xi must be afraid of the matter escalating and wanted to reconcile, which was why she stood in front of Jiang Wei.
With this thought, she gained confidence, her eyes becoming even more triumphant. "Bai Xi, let me tell you, as long as you get Principal Wei to release our Yu earlier, I won't bother with your dirty business..."
Before she could finish, she was sent flying, landing about five meters away. Simultaneously, a piercing pain struck her face, burning fiercely.
Bai Xi stood in place, as if she hadn't moved, and simply said, "A foul mouth deserves a slap."
It took Sun Mei a while to stagger to her feet, her head spinning. She looked at Bai Xi in disbelief. Instinctively, she covered her face, but as her fingers touched it, the pain intensified.
Yan Feng looked at Sun Mei's face and was once again shocked by Bai Xi's skill.
In the eyes of the crowd, Bai Xi had merely sent Sun Mei flying with a single palm.
But in reality, he had been watching Bai Xi closely and had noticed some details. Combined with the marks on Sun Mei's face, it was likely that both sides of her face had been struck at least twenty times, causing pain without causing serious injury.
It was both satisfying and magnanimous. One had to say... Bai Xi was truly the most formidable and generous student he had ever met, without exception. These two, a couple and appearing together at Black Gold Academy, perhaps there was a reason.
Sun Mei wanted to speak, but found she couldn't even form a complete sentence. Finally, she managed to utter a series of unintelligible cries: "Bai Xi, you hit me, you're dead!"
She dared to hit her?
Students from the Martial Arts Department could spar and compete with a referee present. However, striking students from other departments was strictly prohibited by Black Gold Academy, with expulsion as the penalty!
Bai Xi was dead!
