Chapter 9 I'll help you

  "Do you think they will do as you say?" Ge Hui sat by the window, the thick curtains blocking out the midday sun, and the rare clearness of the winter day was also driven out by the dimness inside. She and Yun Hai Fan sat facing each other, just like the positions of two people when playing divination with paper cards in the mortal world. The difference was that instead of paper cards, there was a cup of clear tea in front of each person. Although the topic was heavy, the expressions of the two were unexpectedly relaxed.

  "I think it will be fine." Yun Haiyan sipped her tea. She didn't understand tea, but Ge Hui had recommended this one, so she hadn't gulped it down like plain water. "Wen Zhan is particular about appearances, and since the book's cover was already damaged, as a gift, it naturally needs to be dressed up a bit. However, although the book seems tightly bound, if you tear out the first page, it will easily fall apart. No matter how he wraps the cover, I'm afraid it will eventually show its flaws. It's just a matter of time, depending on his luck."

  "How did you know that Wen Xuan would send the book out?" Ge Hui swirled the white porcelain cup, "What if he kept it to read himself? Wouldn't you be exposed then?"

  "I wonder if there's a competition or assessment in the magic world that requires Wen Xuan to practice such advanced spells to greatly improve her abilities? Does she need to check the calendar to find books in the library?" Yun Hai Fan's eyes were filled with cold, mocking intent. "The answer is of course not. If so, then there's no need to choose a date to study on her own. However, the recent investigation results are quite unfavorable, it's possible that the principal is trying to keep his position and instructed his son-in-law to find a gift that can be presented publicly without being considered bribery. In this case, 'Divine Scroll' - 'Natural Magic' would naturally be the best choice."

  Anyway, it has been confirmed that no one else is practicing ventriloquism.

  Finally, Yunhai Fan said lightly: "These, Ge sister naturally also understands. It's just that it needs to be done through someone else's hands, and I became the best implementer."

  Yun Hai's voice was soft and gentle, like the fragrance of orchids. His piercing gaze shot straight into Ge Hui's innermost heart, making her pause for a moment: "That's natural... but how did you know about the principal?"

  "I'm guessing." Yun Hai Fan said, meeting Ge Hui's skeptical gaze, "Sister Ge, I'm not lying to you, it's just a guess. A student with no background whatsoever, where could they have gotten this information from?"

  "You're quite...!" Ge Hui was speechless, unsure whether Yun Hai Fan's boldness was based on confidence or ignorance.

  "It's not just a guess." Yunhai Fan explained in detail, "Firstly, An Su gave me the crime of 'private trial', but Wen Zhan didn't make a quick decision on this matter. Instead, he asked for the opinion of the new class teacher. Apparently, that blue-sky teacher Lansheng also had an impressive background, so his few words simplified the problem and I was assigned as a 'transfer student'. In the past, a warning would have been the lightest punishment."

  "What crime is 'self-cultivation'?" Ge Hui was very interested in this detail, "I didn't have this crime when I was on the job."

  "I don't know either." Yun Hai Fan spread his hands, "Maybe it's An Su making things up, but as long as the student affairs office says something is so, then that's what it is. Nothing else matters. Anyway, at the time he didn't directly deal with me, which made me feel very strange. Later I found out that when the investigators came to our class to observe lessons, the teacher had been switched, and the schedule had been adjusted, clearly trying to avoid the puppetry class, making it impossible for people to find fault. This also means that the puppetry class was given special attention, and Wen Zhan didn't dare act rashly. Plus, later on he would rather have me work in the library than expel me, which should also be due to such considerations."

  Yun Hai Fan felt a bit parched after speaking for so long, and she couldn't help but finish the tea in her cup. Ge Hui helped refill her water while asking, "Why does Wen Zhan always want to get rid of you?"

  "It must be An Su, why he always thinks I'm unlucky." Yun Hai Fan thought for a moment, "Entering school in last place, not sucking up to the teacher, and constantly questioning his teaching methods, this should be the reason why he dislikes me. Some teachers are really narrow-minded, just because someone's spiritual power is low doesn't mean their IQ is low, how can there be progress without doubt?"

  "I don't think it's that simple." Ge Hui filled her ceramic cup, "From my understanding of Wen Xuan, he must have his reasons for disliking you. But the real reason is probably only known to him."

  Yun Hai Fan smiled indifferently: "Let him go, there are so many people in the world, and it's impossible to care about who likes or dislikes whom. But since he provoked me, he will naturally have to face the consequences."

  Although her voice was soft and gentle, the chill that spread from her lips was unstoppable. Ge Hui knew where Yun Hai Fan's so-called revenge came from, and asked somewhat tentatively: "You're helping me like this, don't you regret it?"

  "Why the regret?" Yun Hai Fan looked at Ge Hui's eyes, which were filled with hidden anxiety. "You and I are cooperating to leave this place, if we fail, the ending can't be any worse than this; if we succeed, then we've gained something, what's there to regret?"

  "Is it just that simple for you to leave? If so, there was no need for such a big fuss. I could have let you return to the classroom directly."

  "This kind of mind that can't be put on the table, I didn't plan to say it." Yun Hai Fan changed to a gentle smile, "Since Ge sister wants to know, I won't hide it anymore. Isn't it said that after things are done, Ge sister can also leave this place? After Wen Zhan steps down, I believe Ge sister has the ability to take his position. At that time, the school's examination will also be looking at Ge sister to let go."

  "It's no big deal."

  "But it's a big deal for me." Yun Hai Fan quietly rebuked Ge Hui's distrust, "Is there anything more important than graduation for students?"

  Ge Hui didn't say a word, but quietly looked at Yun Hai Fan, the implication in her eyes was clear - really, there wasn't any other reason?

  Yun Hai Fan and she looked at each other for a long time, finally still saying the truth: "Three times violating school rules will be forcibly cancelled to participate in the school examination. For me, staying here is relatively safe, if you let me leave, who knows what kind of reason Wen Zhan will find to make me violate the rules again. It's also hard to guarantee that he won't do anything to me during the exam, so for my future life safety, pulling him down is a must."

  "The Puppetry Class indeed needs a change of teacher."

  A familiar voice sounded behind Yun Hai Fan, who was looking at Ge Hui's calm expression. Without turning his head, he wanted to hear what other astonishing words the person had to say.

  That man walked up to Yun Hai Fan's side, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Leave the rest to us."

  Yun Hai Fan responded with the same volume and then quietly got up and left the office.

  The girl's voice was not loud, but it lingered in the man's ear for a long time. The simple five words seemed to have a special meaning, as if they were a trust that one person willingly handed over from behind.

  "She said: 'Okay, Teacher Lan.'"
