Chapter 155
When the bell rang, the campus instantly fell silent.
The two little mice flung away by the bone talisman staggered from the snow, still dazed. Unable to walk straight, they circled like drunks.
Fortunately, four more mice arrived. Two carried each injured companion away, chanting with effort.
Meanwhile, Teacher Shi entered with the last test papers, her face frosty.
A terrible premonition rose in Chen Daji.
Hua Jiunan called, “Stand!”
The class chorused, “Good morning, Teacher!”
Teacher Shi suppressed her fury. “Good morning. Everyone sit except Chen Daji.”
“Come to the front, Chen Daji.”
He felt guilty, then remembered he had answered every question on the language test.
Was she going to praise his improvement in front of Li Yun?
Imagining Li Yun’s admiring gaze, he strutted forward and tripped over a desk in his haste.
*Good thing I didn’t land on my nose. What a waste of blood that would’ve been…*
Teacher Shi shot a disgusted look at the little degenerate who had written filthy answers and made lewd jokes at his teacher’s expense.
“I’ll recite the first half of a classical line. Answer with what you wrote on your paper.”
“When fire reaches the city gate-”
Chen Daji answered firmly, “A downpour puts it out!”
Teacher Shi fought her anger. “She smiles among the flowers-”
More confident than ever, Chen Daji waved heroically.
“Brother strolls along the shore!”
The class roared with laughter. Teacher Shi trembled with rage.
Oblivious, Chen Daji gave Hua Jiunan a look that plainly asked, *Big Brother, wasn’t I amazing? Come on, praise me!*
Hua Jiunan covered his face and collapsed onto his desk, unable to imagine Chen Daji’s coming misery.
Teacher Shi’s furious roar rattled the classroom windows.
“Chen Daji, get out!”
“Starting today, you’re cleaning the toilets for a week!”
Even Chen Daji realized his answers might have been wrong.
“Fine, I’ll clean them. I’ve done it before. Why shout?”
“But I need one thing clarified first. Same question as always: only the girls’ toilets, or both?”
“Personally, I recommend only the girls’. You can double my cleaning time…”
As laughter shook the classroom, Old Sixth Hui arrived on campus with a little mouse on each shoulder.
Guided by them, the Gray Family Patriarch walked directly into Li Jinlong’s classroom.
Strangely, no one seemed able to see him.
Old Sixth Hui approached Li Jinlong and chuckled. He almost slapped him, but restrained himself and merely plucked a whisker and stuck it to Li Jinlong’s clothes.
The human-bone talisman against Li Jinlong’s skin emitted black light in resistance.
Surprise, then disgust, appeared in Old Sixth Hui’s eyes.
“A Human-Bone Talisman?!”
“A petty evil object dares defy this immortal!”
Light shot an inch from his eyes. The Human-Bone Talisman gave a faint crack and split.
Satisfied, Old Sixth Hui turned away.
Before leaving the school, the Gray Family Patriarch told the two mice, “Everything lately reeks of evil.”
“Watch the young master physician from the shadows. If anything abnormal happens, notify me immediately.”
The mice squeaked their promise.
Old Sixth Hui faced Hua Jiunan’s classroom, saluted with cupped fists, and vanished.
