Chapter 326 Curious Liang Zhiyin
Chapter 326 Curious Liang Zhiyin
Just as the entire arena fell into a deathly silence due to this silent clash of martial wills, Lin Yuechan slowly turned her head.
Those cold phoenix eyes looked at Lin Qiye, her tone carrying a hint of feigned reproach.
"Qi Ye, you can't do this!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye calmly nodded: "Understood, Teacher Yuechan."
Although Zhou Tai's face was extremely ugly, he was both shocked and furious.
But when he saw that the terrifying clash of martial wills had actually knocked Xia Xiaoqing unconscious on the spot, he felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason.
Finally... they shut up.
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of exploding, Zhao Mingxuan, who had been calmly observing from the sidelines, finally stepped forward.
"Alright, teachers."
Zhao Mingxuan's voice was steady and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority that instantly drew everyone's attention.
He first glanced at Xia Xiaoqing, who was pinned to the wall and had completely lost consciousness, then his gaze slowly swept over Zhou Tai and Deng Hong, whose faces were ashen, and Lin Yuechan, whose expression was icy cold, before finally speaking to mediate:
"Everyone has witnessed this student's situation. Her mental state is extremely unstable, and she has indeed shown signs of being corrupted by the abyss."
He paused, his tone becoming increasingly serious.
"This matter is serious and must be thoroughly investigated!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai's heart sank. He immediately stepped forward and spoke before anyone else could, his voice urgent yet carrying an undeniable firmness:
"This matter concerns the reputation of our Longteng Martial Arts University, and Xia Xiaoqing is also a student of our university, so the impact is too great! I think we should first have our own trial court organization conduct an investigation to ascertain the situation before reporting it to higher authorities!"
He wanted to keep the impact of this incident firmly within Longteng Martial Arts University and minimize the losses.
However, Lin Yuechan simply stood there calmly, her cold phoenix eyes sweeping over him indifferently, her voice clear and cold.
"Vice Principal Zhou, I'm afraid that won't work."
She spoke slowly, each word clear and carrying undeniable weight: "This is the site of the Ten-School Joint Examination. Xia Xiaoqing was discovered to be contaminated by the Abyss during the examination. This is no longer just a matter for Longteng Martial Arts University, but a matter for all ten of our schools."
"All our schools need to know exactly what happened. It concerns the safety of every one of our students."
Zhou Tai's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Lin Yuechan's words completely blocked his attempt to "handle it internally"!
The other school officials and teachers present reacted differently upon hearing this conversation, and their thoughts immediately became active.
The vice president of Jinniu Wuhan University smiled faintly and exchanged a meaningful glance with the teacher next to him.
They would naturally be happy to see Longteng Wuhan University and Yinhe Wuhan University clash.
The leaders of the other schools remained silent, exchanging glances and secretly plotting among themselves.
They certainly understand the principle of "shared prosperity and shared ruin," and that any scandal involving the Abyss at any top private college would be a blow to the reputation of the entire First College District.
However, as a long-time rival, Longteng Wuda couldn't help but feel a bit of schadenfreude when they saw them suffer a setback.
After all, there is both cooperation and competition among the ten schools.
The atmosphere at the medical station suddenly became incredibly tense.
Zhou Tai felt the gazes around him, some watching with amusement, others with meaningful intent, and immediately knew that the matter was completely out of their control.
After a brief but intense closed-door discussion, the outcome was self-evident.
Lin Yuechan's suggestion was overwhelmingly adopted.
Even though Zhou Tai, representing Longteng Wuhan University, expressed strong opposition from beginning to end.
However, his opposition seemed powerless given the unanimous agreement of the top officials at the other nine private universities.
Moreover, Zhao Mingxuan, as the representative of the city's garrison and the person in charge of this joint examination, did not express any opinion from beginning to end.
But his silence itself speaks volumes about his inclination!
Zhou Tai immediately realized that the matter was completely out of their control.
His face was ashen. Looking at Deng Hong, who had also followed him back, he suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? Was Xia Xiaoqing already corrupted by the Abyss, or what?"
He paused, then seemed to remember something and pressed on, "Also, I remember this student was previously assigned to be looked after by Teacher Chen. Where is Teacher Chen now?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Hong immediately looked completely innocent.
"I don't know, Principal Zhou. I've been leading the students in the abyss since the joint entrance exam, while you've been overseeing everything from the outside."
Deng Hong certainly cannot take the blame for this.
You, Zhou Tai, as the team leader and vice principal, were outside overseeing things, yet such a huge blunder occurred. Now you want to shift the blame onto me, the teacher who led the team into the venue.
No way!
If you're so capable, then try and force this problem on me!
Upon hearing Deng Hong's words, Zhou Tai's face grew even more grim, and his chest heaved.
He certainly understood the subtext in Deng Hong's words.
But he doesn't have time to argue with Deng Hong about this right now.
The most urgent task is to find that key person!
"Now we need to find that Ms. Chen," he said in a deep voice. "Her name is Chen Xingyun, isn't it?"
"Yes." Deng Hong nodded.
However, Longteng Wuda University checked all the accompanying teachers but couldn't find Chen Xingyun anywhere.
……
Compared to the frustration and embarrassment felt by Longteng Wuda, Lin Yuechan and Si Qingwan seemed to be in a good mood.
The two exchanged a glance, their smiles almost overflowing.
Soon, with a series of orders issued, the senior members of the court societies of ten top private universities rushed over from their respective schools.
Each team from the trial court was carrying instruments used to detect contamination in the abyss.
To ensure absolute impartiality and to prevent any possible cover-up, the inspections will be conducted in a cross-checking manner.
For example, students from Galaxy Wuhan University will be jointly tested by senior judges from Golden Bull Wuhan University and Dragon Soaring Wuhan University.
All participating students, as well as all teachers who accompanied the team into the abyss gap, must undergo this rigorous screening without exception.
Once it is confirmed that there are no problems, the participating students from the ten schools will be led by their respective teachers back to their schools to await the final investigation results.
As the supervising teacher of the Galaxy Martial Arts University Trial Court Club, Si Qingwan is currently on her way to the teams from Dragon Soaring Martial Arts University and Golden Bull Martial Arts University for cross-testing.
Therefore, for the time being, the team from Galaxy Martial Arts University will be led by the calm and composed female instructor, Liang Zhiyin.
Liang Zhiyin stood at the front of the line, but her gaze kept drifting unconsciously toward Lin Qiye, who remained calm and composed beside her.
My heart was filled with curiosity.
