Chapter 624: Another Punishment

“Cla.s.s is dismissed!” As soon as Ren Baqian said those words, the entire cla.s.sroom of students dashed toward the backyard.

There was one little shadow that moved the fastest. In a few flashes, she landed in front of the bathrooms in the backyard. With her hands behind her back, she stood with a determined look and watched as the students rushed over.

“No one is allowed to use the toilets!” Tong Lan said to the crowd.

“Why?” Everyone immediately looked at her with glaring eyes, appearing extremely displeased.

“No one is allowed to use the toilets and that is it! Why the question?” Tong Lan’s eyes gave off an ominous glint. Whoever dared to use the bathroom, she would teach that person a lesson.

“What do we do then? We can’t possibly pee in our pants right? There will be a foul smell in the cla.s.s later on. Even if you can tolerate it, we can’t!” Du Laoliu complained.

“In three days’ time, you can use the toilets however you want! The Black Bamboo Forest behind us is so vast—isn’t it enough for you?” Tong Lan glanced across everyone’s faces with a fierce look and stared back at all of them.

Upon hearing this, no one wanted to get beaten by Tong Lan over this issue. They had no choice but to leap over the wall and run straight for the Black Bamboo Forest.

The girls felt a little helpless. The Black Bamboo Forest was huge, and if they went deep inside, they would probably not be able to come back in time for cla.s.s. The closer areas were all occupied by the boys…

“You girls can just use the toilets!” Tong Lan said. The girls were always give some preferential treatment.

Tong Lan thought to herself that it would be advantageous for her not to have to clean the male toilets as she was in charge of them. s.h.i.+ Gan, Zhuo Hua, and that Great Xia girl were in charge of cleaning the female toilets. Even if she allowed the girls to use the toilets, the three of them couldn’t complain, right?

She hated herself for only coming up with this idea after a long time—she had already cleaned the toilets for so many days.

Later on, when the new students approached the bathrooms, Tong Lan did the same thing again.

“Little girl, why must we listen to you?” A few of the boys laughed.

Without demur, Tong Lan suddenly vanished before reappearing in front of the boys and kicking four of them away. When she arrived in front of the last boy, she was knocked back by a fist.

Tong Lan looked up and saw a boy who was around 16 years old. He looked very ordinary, but had fast reflexes and was quite strong.

“Girl, be reasonable!” That boy was a little indignant.

“I will talk reason with you if you beat me!” Tong Lan vanished again after finis.h.i.+ng her sentence and reemerged above that boy’s head, stomping down on him with one foot.

The surrounding people were stunned when they heard what Tong Lan said. How could she be like that? Only willing to talk reason if he beat her?

After exchanging a few blows with that boy, she had a whole new level of respect for him. She didn’t expect to find such experts among this new batch of students.

She felt like defeating him even more!

At the thought of this, Tong Lan’s speed and strength increased several folds. Move after move, every time their fists and legs came into contact, it would produce a loud rumble!

Following these loud noises, that young man fell back incessantly. His arms began to s.h.i.+ver and his face turned red, but he still bit the bullet and didn’t even say a word!

Still, he didn’t seem to be able to withstand it any longer.

Tong Lan turned her body in midair and sent her fist smas.h.i.+ng down toward his chest. The young man couldn’t hold on any longer and flew off like an artillery sh.e.l.l.

“Hmph!” With an extremely fierce expression on her face, Tong Lan stopped immediately and asked, “Is there anyone else who isn’t convinced?”

Before she even finished her sentence, a silhouette dashed over from the distance, flipped a few times in the air, and ferociously used her leg to strike down like a giant axe.

Tong Lan faced this with her fist, and with a bang, the aggressor flew off. Like a nail, Tong Lan was pounded about 30 centimeters into the ground.

“Zhuo Hua?” The young girl who just attacked Tong Lan was wearing a short skirt and a tube top made of animal skin. Tong Lan looked at her and suddenly flew into a rage. She wasn’t allowing anyone to use the male toilets and planned for the three of them to simply clean up the female toilets. Why did Zhuo Hua attack her even after she did such a good deed?

“Why did you attack my younger brother!” Zhuo Hua was enraged as well.

“Your younger brother?” Tong Lan stared blankly and saw that young man running back from where she sent him flying to previously. She couldn’t see any resemblance between Zhuo Hua and her brother, regardless of whether it was his facial shape or his eyes. There weren’t any similar features at all.

“He’s my younger brother from my third uncle’s family!” Zhuo Hua replied angrily.

“How would I know?!” Tong Lan mumbled softly to herself before lifting her head and saying, “I’m doing this to help you guys reduce the burden of having to clean the toilets. It’s your brother who is at fault!”

“What exactly happened?” Zhuo Hua asked as she looked back and forth between Tong Lan and at that young man.

He murmured and explained what had happened to Zhuo Hua.

“You are too overbearing!” Zhuo Hua stared at Tong Lan.

“You aren’t appreciating my good intentions! In any case, the men’s bathroom is out of bounds!” Tong Lan gritted her teeth.

“No big deal!” Zhuo Hua replied coldly. She turned around and said to her brother, “The huge Black Bamboo Forest is just behind us. You can go there and pee since guys aren’t afraid of being seen!”

A while later, many of the new students appeared in the Black Bamboo Forest and somehow felt that something was amiss!

Why did they end up having to pee in the forest?

Wasn’t something amiss?

…

Ren Baqian sat in his office, looked at the few people in front of him, and asked, “Okay, I have finally managed to make these students get used to the habit of using the toilet, but you broke the rules for your own benefit because of not wanting to do the cleaning? Also, you fought in school again after just a few days?”

Tong Lan looked hesitant and didn’t know whether to lower her head in remorse or to lift her head and show her arrogance.

She was Tong Lan, a genius!

Of course she couldn’t lower her head like those idiots!

At the thought of this, she lifted her head and displayed her arrogance.

“Zhuo Wei is a first time offender. He will copy the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” 100 times and clean the toilets for a week, starting from next week.

As for you two, this is your second offense in less than a week. Copy the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” 200 times! Plus, your toilet cleaning duty shall be extended for another two weeks!”

Zhuo Hua and Tong Lan’s faces turned pale upon hearing this.

The fear of being controlled by the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” seeped into their minds once again. After they finished copying the previous time, the cla.s.sic even appeared in their dreams over the past few days. Now, they had to do it again and even more this time around!

“Princ.i.p.al, just give me lashes with the whip!” Zhuo Hua said with a bitter face.

“60 lashes?” Ren Baqian asked.

Zhuo Hua nodded bitterly as she would rather endure the lashes than copy the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” again.

“The whip from the Public Order Bureau is made out of the skin of the Spiked Dragon’s tail, which is full of barbed tips. It rips away a layer of your skin with every lash. I reckon you would probably become disfigured after enduring 60 lashes!” Ren Baqian replied faintly.

“Are there any other punishments then? Don’t make me copy the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” anymore!” Zhuo Hua was on the verge of crying.

“How else can I make you guys learn your lesson? You kids are all brawn and no brain—you use your fists more than you use your heads! You may go back home and copy it this time. Turn it in to me in two days’ time!”

“It’s not right!” Tong Lan suddenly said.

“What do you want to say?” Ren Baqian looked at her.

“The punishment for fighting in Lan City is only three lashes of the whip. Previously, you said that the punishment would be ten times heavier for escalating the matter to Her Majesty. Since this isn’t the case now, why is the punishment so heavy!” Tong Lan lifted her small face and refused to accept it.

Ren Baqian sneered, “I’m the Princ.i.p.al, so I have the final say! The punishment will be 20 times heavier for fighting at school!”

Tong Lan was so fuming mad that her face turned red. She stared fiercely at Ren Baqian as if she was about to pounce and bite him.

After holding it in for some time, she suddenly spouted some idioms and declared, “You are abusing your power! You do not make clear the rewards and penalties and are misusing your power!”

“Yeah, that’s right? What else?” Ren Baqian folded his arms and stared at Tong Lan with a look of ridicule.

Zhuo Hua and her brother looked listless.

Have you conceded?

Have you actually conceded so mindlessly?

“I… I… I will not yield! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!” Tong Lan said “I” many times, but still couldn’t think of what she could do to Ren Baqian. Her face turned from red to black. Then, she screamed and ran out of the office.

“Anything else that you want to say? If there isn’t, go back to cla.s.s!” Ren Baqian looked at the siblings.

“We’ll return to cla.s.s!” they answered.

After they left the office, Zhuo Hua recalled that she had to copy the “Three Character Cla.s.sic” 200 times. Sadness suddenly overwhelmed her as she became frantic and shouted, “Ah! Ah! Ah!” toward the sky before running back to the cla.s.sroom.
