The other students sensed something was wrong, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly quieted down significantly.
Su Wenjing didn’t mind at all. He waited a little while, and when Ling Zhou, who had been holding back the Earth-Swallowing Beast, caught up, he finally waved his hand.
The next second, everyone found themselves inside Ji Fa Academy.
Seeing the group’s miserable state instantly caused a commotion, and within moments, the teachers of Ji Fa noticed the situation and appeared among the crowd.
“What’s going on here?” A Ji Fa teacher swept his gaze around, finally directing the question to Su Wenjing.
Su Wenjing didn’t answer, but said, “Take them for treatment first.
There’s always time for questions, but treatment is naturally more urgent.
But for Su Wenjing, the reason he didn’t answer directly was also…
“Come to the medical ward.” Su Wenjing sent a message directly to Li Yunxian, “Liang Xuan nearly died outside the academy, I’ve brought everyone back. Next is your part.”
It’s your turn now.
Li Yunxian had been playing the hands-off boss long enough; now it was her turn!
Li Yunxian, who suddenly received the voice transmission:
Life had been so peaceful that she’d almost forgotten who Liang Xuan was.
She glanced at the time. There were only a few days left until the exchange ended.
Li Yunxian waved goodbye to her new friends at Ji Fa, casually tossing out, “The teacher called me for something,” and walked straight to the medical ward.
In the medical ward, several students were quickly examined and treated, and after confirming that no one was seriously hurt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Once they got a general idea of what had happened from a few students, the Ji Fa teachers’ attention focused once more on Su Wenjing.
“Senior Su, what were you doing out there with these kids?” The question came with a tone of familiarity and a hint of jest.
Obviously, whatever the reason, judging by the outcome, Su Wenjing’s actions definitely weren’t malicious.
Ji Fa’s side clearly didn’t want to make this inquiry too formal or serious.
To be precise, in their hearts, they didn’t think the answer would be all that proper, either.
Based on the students’ descriptions, Su Wenjing’s actions just gave them the impression that this cunning fox had gotten a sudden urge to scare the kids for fun.
Then, they heard something completely unexpected.
“Wait for the victim to come and explain.” Su Wenjing’s tone was calm.
The Ji Fa teacher was stunned.
Victim?
Their first reaction was actually to think of the injured students present, but from the context, it was obviously not them.
Ji Fa’s teachers weren’t fools. They quickly realized that, with Su Wenjing’s status, if he was standing up for someone here, the victim could only be a Tiantong student.
A few teachers’ hearts skipped a beat, immediately sensing trouble.
Ordinary scuffles were nothing during the exchange.
But if Su Wenjing directly defined someone as a victim, then without a doubt, it meant some Ji Fa student had seriously crossed a line.
Immediately, several teachers looked toward the few students present.
And they noticed something was off.
After Su Wenjing spoke, quite a few students were either openly or covertly glancing at Liang Xuan.
Ling Zhou noticed as well.
He immediately stepped forward and said to the teachers, “These days, Liang Xuan has just been discussing hunting outside the academy with us, she hasn’t had any contact with Tiantong’s group.”
“She barely pays attention to the exchange students’ news.”
After speaking, Ling Zhou turned his head to look at Liang Xuan.
He wanted Liang Xuan to explain together, but she remained silent, her head lowered.
Ling Zhou’s heart tightened, and everything he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
Su Wenjing ignored everyone else’s reactions and looked up toward the door.
“She’s here.” Su Wenjing said.
Everyone turned to look at the door at his words.
They saw the door slowly open under their gaze, and Li Yunxian appeared before them.
Li Yunxian, at the center of everyone’s attention:
“You did that on purpose.” Li Yunxian gritted her teeth slightly, sending a voice transmission to Su Wenjing.
She’d used her spiritual sense to hear Su Wenjing time his words to coincide perfectly with her opening the door—just as a “friendly reminder.”
Su Wenjing’s expression was calm; he didn’t reply, wearing the indifferent look of someone at peace with time.
But Li Yunxian had already gone through seeing her face plastered everywhere in the ‘Everything’ shopping district; this situation was nothing hard for her to handle.
Li Yunxian stepped into the medical ward with perfect composure.
“Hello, teachers.” Li Yunxian wore the look of a well-behaved student, greeting the Ji Fa teachers.
The Ji Fa teachers let out a long sigh of relief when they saw the supposed victim was Li Yunxian.
They all knew about her overwhelming victory over Ling Zhou.
If such a genius was harmed on Ji Fa’s grounds, it was no wonder Su Wenjing had stood up for her.
How could Liang Xuan possibly harm Li Yunxian?
Besides… after checking Li Yunxian over several times, they couldn’t see that she’d suffered any harm at all.
Meridians, bones, blood, everything—she was in better shape than anyone.
None of them had ever had such a flawless body at the Qi Refining stage.
If she could maintain this condition until Foundation Establishment, she might even form a Lingjing Ji.
With this in mind, the Ji Fa teacher asked gently, “Student, who was it and how did they harm you? Can you tell us?”
Li Yunxian didn’t waste time and answered directly, “Liang Xuan used a Fortune-Reversal Talisman.”
One simple sentence left those hearing it for the first time in shock.
Everyone knew what the Fortune-Reversal Talisman was.
The teachers, seasoned as they were, managed to stay calm, but the younger students stared at Liang Xuan in disbelief.
And Li Yunxian’s words completely shattered Liang Xuan’s last hope.
She abruptly looked up, her eyes red as she stared at Li Yunxian and asked directly, “How did you find out?”
“Because of the Immortal Falls?” It was the only reason Liang Xuan could think of.
Li Yunxian was about to answer, but Liang Xuan’s second sentence caught her off guard.
She looked at Liang Xuan with an odd expression: “Did you really not notice how bad your luck has been lately?”
Liang Xuan had already accepted her fate, but at Li Yunxian’s words, indignation flared up again.
“What do you mean, bad luck! People like you, with good luck, always spout this nonsense!”
Li Yunxian looked at Liang Xuan for a long moment. Seeing the other girl’s bandaged wounds, she decided not to respond to Liang Xuan’s pointless anger.
She took out a deck of cards from her storage artifact, drew a few at random, and walked over to Liang Xuan.
Laying several cards in front of Liang Xuan, Li Yunxian said simply, “Draw one.”
Liang Xuan glanced up at Li Yunxian, not understanding her intention, but still subconsciously did as she was told.
She drew a card.
- Li Yunxian flipped over the cards she was holding.
A, J, 10, 8, 6, 5.
Liang Xuan had drawn the smallest one.
But Liang Xuan still looked confused, not grasping the significance of this action.
Li Yunxian didn’t bother to explain further. Calmly, she took out her phone, opened the card-drawing game she’d recently played with the Ji Fa club, and held it out for Liang Xuan to draw.
Liang Xuan:
She tapped for a ten-card pull.
A flash of white light, and ten R Cards appeared.
Staring at the neat row of R Cards, Liang Xuan finally realized what Li Yunxian had meant earlier.
But she didn’t believe it.
Liang Xuan tapped for another ten-card pull.
A wave of white light.
Another ten-card pull, and this time a flash of purple.
After thirty pulls, she finally got one SR card as the guaranteed reward, with the remaining nine all R Cards.
Liang Xuan:
“This is impossible!!” Liang Xuan, face full of disbelief, grabbed Li Yunxian’s hand—the one still holding the deck.
Without hesitation, she drew another card and flipped it over.
It was a 5.
Other than the 3 she’d just drawn, this was the lowest card.
Liang Xuan stared blankly at the 5.
And Li Yunxian stared just as blankly at the 5 in Liang Xuan’s hand.
She asked Su Wenjing, “Luck doesn’t affect intelligence, does it?”
Li Yunxian hadn’t shuffled the cards after showing her hand.
In theory, Liang Xuan’s draw should have tested her intelligence, not her luck.
Su Wenjing:
Watching Liang Xuan fall apart, Su Wenjing didn’t answer Li Yunxian’s question. Instead, he suddenly mentioned that Liang Xuan had been the vanguard in the fight against the Tiger-Headed Demon outside.
He didn’t speak up for Liang Xuan.
Liang Xuan had risked her life to shield her own classmates—it had nothing to do with Li Yunxian.
Was she supposed to be forgiven just because she wasn’t completely rotten, and the victim should act as if nothing happened?
Su Wenjing knew there was no such logic.
He merely commented objectively, “Someone too smart wouldn’t have done this.”
Then, Su Wenjing added even more matter-of-factly, “Your luck is truly something else.”
Li Yunxian:
Looking at everyone covered in injuries, she asked Su Wenjing, “What did they run into?”
Su Wenjing replied, “One early-stage Golden Core, one mid-stage Golden Core.”
Li Yunxian’s eyes widened slightly: “That’s not fair!”
“When I’d just started Qi Refining, I was facing several at the fourth or fifth layer.”
“At the first or second layer, my opponents were already at Foundation Establishment.”
“At the fourth layer, I started fighting Golden Core opponents.”
“At the sixth layer, I was up against three Golden Core cultivators. How come Liang Xuan, already at the peak of Qi Refining, only faced two Golden Cores!”
“How can the same luck be so biased!!”
Li Yunxian was deeply shocked.
Su Wenjing, hearing all this from Li Yunxian:
He felt that some things probably weren’t about luck.
Not everything should be blamed on luck.
