Upon reaching the bamboo forest, unexpectedly, Chu Qingzhi saw a pheasant flying by. She pointed. “Da Bai, go!”

Da Bai pounced like a tiger, successfully capturing the pheasant under its claws. It bit off the bird’s neck and carried it towards Chu Qingzhi, seeking praise.

Chu Qingzhi petted Da Bai’s head, a bright smile appearing on her face, “Put it aside, I’ll make fried chicken for you when we get back.”

Da Bai took the initiative to rub against Chu Qingzhi’s palm and threw the pheasant to the side. Then, it turned around and roared at the three wolves. The three wolves seemed to have received some instructions and ran towards Da Bai.

After the three wolves and the tiger met up, they ran into the forest together. Soon, flocks of birds were startled in the forest.

When Tang Jinghong returned with a machete, he saw a pheasant by the bamboo forest with blood around its neck. “What’s this?”

“Caught by Da Bai,” Chu Qingzhi pointed towards the forest, “Da Bai is taking the wolves hunting in the woods. The wolves have never hunted before; I wonder if Da Bai will despise them.”

Tang Jinghong smiled, “Definitely will.”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes curved with laughter, “I think so too.”

At Yunfei School, in the corridor.

“Stop!” Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao stepped forward to block Dai Ruolin’s path.

Dai Ruolin’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned to run.

He hadn’t expected the brothers to have learned lightness skills. Chu Xuyuan leaped in front of Dai Ruolin, effectively blocking his way from both sides.

“Let’s see where you can run now?”

Dai Ruolin’s guilt spread rapidly, “What… what do you want?”

Chu Xuyuan pushed Dai Ruolin from behind, “Run! Why aren’t you running now?”

Dai Ruolin’s fingers, which were hanging by his side, clasped together. His entire body was tense. “W-What do you want? Don’t think that you can bully me just because you have more people!”

By this time, everyone else had left, and the academy was eerily quiet. It looked like the three of them were the only ones left.

Chu Xuyuan’s tone was very fierce. “How dare you play tricks behind our backs?”

Dai Ruolin’s heart thumped wildly, almost leaping out of his throat. He denied weakly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“You don’t know?” Chu Xuyao approached threateningly, “Then let’s go to the headmaster and explain.”

Dai Ruolin’s cold sweat dripped continuously, both frightened and anxious, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, 1 don’t know…”

Chu Xuyuan looked scornfully at Dai Ruolin, “Brother, no need to waste words with him. Let’s take him to the headmaster.”

“Let’s ask for the reason first,” Chu Xuyao stared coldly at Dai Ruolin, “Why did you frame us?”

Dai Ruolin stepped back, shaking his head incessantly, his eyes filled with panic, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. 1 don’t know anything.”

“It seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin. Brother, let’s not waste time talking, just take him to the headmaster.” Chu Xuyuan grabbed Dai Ruolin by his clothes and dragged him to the headmaster.

Dai Ruolin was dragged on the ground, his face flushed with an ugly hue, his clothes disheveled, appearing utterly miserable, “No, I won’t go to the headmaster. 1 won’t.”

Chu Xuyuan, known for his straightforward temperament, confronted Dai Ruolin, “What? Do you dare to do it but not own up to it?”

Terrified, Dai Ruolin trembled violently and said in a sweat, “1 was blinded by foolish thoughts. 1 was wrong, 1 shouldn’t have spread nonsense. I don’t want to go to the headmaster, please forgive me, please…”

As he spoke, tears began to flow, though it was unclear whether it was due to regret or fear.

“Why didn’t you think that this day would come when you did bad things back then?” Chu Xuyao didn’t sympathize with him at all. Instead, he felt that he deserved it.

Sobbing, Dai Ruolin’s body shook like autumn leaves in the wind, “I… 1 didn’t mean it. I just said it casually at that moment, and I didn’t know how it got out.

1 really didn’t do it on purpose. If 1 had known it would blow up like this, I definitely wouldn’t have said it.”

“You really know how to shift the blame. Just a casual word, just a complaint, and that’s it?” Chu Xuyuan snorted heavily, “I’m telling you, this is not over. You must clarify the facts in front of everyone, restore our and our teacher’s reputation, or else I’ll tell your father.”

Dai Ruolin, as if his throat was clutched, trembled and knelt down, crying and begging, “Don’t tell my dad. He will kill me. Please don’t tell my dad.”

Chu Xuyuan glanced at Chu Xuyao. Their fifth sister was right again; Dai Ruolin was indeed terrified of his parents. “Come with us to the headmaster and explain this, or we’ll tell your dad.”

This time, Dai Ruolin agreed immediately, “I’ll go with you, I’ll go…”

The headmaster of Yunfei School usually lived in the school, which was a serene environment with beautiful scenery.

Mu Chongli was watering newly planted fruit trees. Seeing the three children, he smiled, “Why aren’t you going home? What brings you here?”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao bowed, “We have something we want to discuss with you.”

Mu Chongli paused, glancing at Dai Ruolin, thinking, could this child be the one spreading rumors in the school? Did the two children really find him?

He smiled warmly, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Chu Xuyuan pushed Dai Ruolin in front of Mu Chongli and said excitedly, “Sir, the recent rumors in the school were spread by him.”

Mu Chongli observed Dai Ruolin, whose little face was pale with fear, his body trembling slightly, his head bowed, not daring to look at him, “You found him so quickly?”

Chu Xuyuan said, “Actually, we found him yesterday, but he lied that a family member was sick and he had to go back to take care of them. He deceived us.” Mu Chongli calmly asked Dai Ruolin, “Why did you do this?”

Dai Ruolin’s body uncontrollably shook again, stuttering and nervously fidgeting with his fingers, “I… I…”

Chu Xuyuan threatened, “You better tell the truth. If you lie to the headmaster, he will definitely talk to your father.”

Hearing this, Dai Ruolin knelt down again, trembling violently, “Please have mercy, Dean, please, I… I…”

“Tell the truth, take responsibility, and I might be lenient.” After all, he was just a seven or eight-year-old child, still redeemable.

Dai Ruolin seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as he cried and said, “Ever since I entered the school, every time I took an exam, every day, my father would ask if there was anyone who did better than me. Every time I said yes, he would scold me, scold me for being disappointing, scold me for being useless, scold me for humiliating my ancestors.”

“I haven’t slacked off for a moment, studying until midnight every night, but 1 still can’t surpass them. I’ve tried my best, but my father still scolds me.”

“Now he doesn’t just scold me, he also beats me.”

He lifted his trouser leg, revealing bruises crisscrossing his legs. There were old and new ones.

He broke down crying, “Headmaster, 1 won’t dare to do it again, please spare me, I won’t dare to do it again..”
