Su Xiaolu instructed Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan, “Wang Mingyue, Fang Lan, go with Jiang Wanlin and find those three students. If they have anything to say, let the people involved make it clear in person.”

Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan immediately agreed seriously.

Chen Lian turned around. Tears were already flowing out of her eyes. She looked at Mu Feng helplessly, arousing Mu Feng’s desire to protect her.

Mu Feng could tell that Chen Lian didn’t want this matter to continue.

However, when he looked at the aggressive Su Xiaolu, he was immediately dissatisfied. On an impulse, he said to Su Xiaolu, “Teacher Su, you don’t have to be so strict. You’re high and mighty. How can you understand the suffering of people with low status? Even if you can make the decision today, how long can you protect Lian’er? When you can’t see, they’ll take revenge in an even worse way. There’s no point in doing this.”

Chen Lian widened her eyes in shock. She hurriedly pulled Mu Feng and whispered, “Brother Mu Feng, don’t say anymore. That matter isn’t what you think. It’s a misunderstanding. They didn’t bully me.”

Mu Feng clearly didn’t believe her. He only believed what he saw. He immediately said firmly to Chen Lian, “Lian’er, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”

Despite the pressure, when Mu Feng looked at Su Xiaolu again, he seemed to be filled with endless strength, allowing him to advance courageously.

Su Xiaolu smiled faintly and said to Mu Feng, “If they really bullied Chen Lian, I’ll definitely expel them and make them never enter the academy again. As for you being worried that others will bully Chen Lian, that’s even simpler. As long as that really happens, why can’t I take Chen Lian as my disciple? She can follow me often. Who would dare to bully her?”

Su Xiaolu’s words rendered Mu Feng speechless. He looked at Su Xiaolu and asked, “Teacher, is what you said true?”

Su Xiaolu smiled faintly. “I swear on my mental demons that I’m not lying.”

Mu Feng was relieved. She had already said so much. She was the teacher. If she went back on her word, she would be the one to lose face.

Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng and said coldly, “What about you? You said that you saw Chen Lian being bullied. Do you know the cause of the matter?”

Mu Feng replied righteously, “Of course, I stood up when I saw them bully Lian’er. However, they were stubborn and criticized Lian’er instead. Not only did they not apologize to Lian’er, but they even almost hit me. If Lian’er hadn’t begged me to let it go, I wouldn’t have endured it that day. Teacher is high and mighty, so you naturally couldn’t see these things.”

Su Xiaolu’s expression did not change. She said calmly, “I’ve said it before. I won’t listen to just one side of the story. Not only do I have to investigate this matter, but I also have to investigate it thoroughly. You and Chen Lian didn’t tell anyone about this, but you kept saying that I’m high and mighty. I can let you off now on account that you’re young and ignorant, but if this isn’t the case in the end, I’ll definitely punish you.”

“If one wishes to bring an accusation against another, there is no lack of pretext. Do you understand this principle?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng coldly. It had only been one day today, but she already felt that Mu Feng was unreasonable. He seemed to only think that everything he did was right. Such a person was terrifying.

However, it might be because she didn’t have a good impression of Mu Feng that she felt this way. Hence, she didn’t look at Mu Feng anymore. She had to wait a little longer before making a judgment.

Mu Feng was stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he didn’t know what to say.

In the end, there was only silence.

Mu Feng knew that he had completely offended Su Xiaolu, the teacher. The consequences were very serious.

Mu Feng panicked a little, but in the next second, he felt a warmth on the back of his hand. He realized that Chen Lian was crying.

Mu Feng immediately retracted his thoughts and quickly comforted Chen Lian.

“Lian’er, don’t be afraid. It’s fine.”

Tears streamed down Chen Lian’s face. She shook her head and apologized softly. “Brother Mu Feng, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for being weak..”

Mu Feng’s protectiveness was instantly aroused. No woman had ever made him want to protect her so much. He gently wiped Chen Lian’s tears.

Su Xiaolu really did not want to watch. Such a scene was really indecent. She could not bear to look at it.

She did not understand why Chen Lian was crying at all.

No one hit or scolded her. Seriously, Su Xiaolu was extremely depressed. How could there be such an annoying girl?

Su Xiaolu recalled. In her impression, Bai Xu seemed to be the only one she hated at first, but Bai Xu would not cry. She was extremely fierce.

As expected, crying girls were even more annoying.

Su Xiaolu did not wait for long. Jiang Wanlin and the others returned in an hour.

There were quite a lot of people.

As soon as they entered, the disciples greeted Su Xiaolu first and bowed to her. “Greetings, Teacher Su.”

Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “Who’s Qin Yu, Wu Huaijing and Jiangzhou? Step forward.”

Two young men and a young girl stood up. They had serious expressions. On the way here, they had already learned what had happened from Wang Mingyue.

Su Xiaolu looked at the three of them and said, “Tell me, why did Mu Feng see you bullying Chen Lian the last time he saw you? Did you almost attack Mu Feng? Tell me the truth.”

After Su Xiaolu finished asking, Wu Huaijing explained first, “Teacher, it’s like this. The three of us were assigned to do the weeding and watering tasks for the vegetable garden with Chen Lian. The four of us were also divided into our own small tasks. Chen Lian is younger than us, so she was assigned a smaller vegetable garden. After we finished our own tasks, we realized that Chen Lian did not do her job well. She even damaged some vegetables. This will implicate us and we will be scolded together.”

“Xiaoyu was so angry that she said a few words to her. If she doesn’t know how to do it, the older Senior Brothers and Sisters will teach her. We just want to ask Junior Sister Chen Lian why she didn’t do it well. Junior Sister Chen Lian cried. Then, Mu Feng saw it and came to stand up for Junior Sister Chen Lian.”

“Junior Sister Chen Lian said that she didn’t do it on purpose. Mu Feng said that we were narrow-minded and couldn’t tolerate our fellow disciples and wanted us to apologize to Junior Sister Chen Lian. Naturally, we weren’t willing. During the argument, Jiangzhou almost attacked Mu Feng and we stopped him. Mu Feng also took Chen Lian away. Junior Sister Jiang Wanlin saw this the entire time. That’s what happened.”

After Wu Huaijing explained nervously, he was not confident. With a person like Mu Feng in front of him, he was really worried that Su Xiaolu was also here to settle scores with them.

After Wu Huaijing explained, Jiangzhou and Qin Yu nodded.

Qin Yu’s eyes were also slightly red. She said to Su Xiaolu, “Teacher Su, they were the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers who were assigned the mission together that day. We’ve always been assigned this way. Teacher taught us to love and protect each other. In order to be fair, we divided the missions into small groups and completed them separately. Whoever completes it first can go back and do their own things. That day, Junior Sister Chen Lian didn’t do well.. We wanted her to admit her mistake herself, but she refused…
