Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser Chapter 1179 - Falling into the Water

Chapter 1179: Falling into the Water

Chen Jin had high hopes and confidence in the young lady in front of him because of Old Zhang’s words. When he saw her apple which didn’t look like an apple, Chen Jin didn’t know whether to be encouraging or to tell the truth.

Telling the truth would be too much of a blow, but if he didn’t tell the truth, Chen Jin would feel unworthy of the t.i.tle ‘teacher.’ To be honest, he had seen many students who were interested in drawing but had no talent.

But no matter how little talent those students had, it was still easy for them to draw basic shapes. The drawing of the young lady in front of him could be considered the most uninspired drawing he had ever seen. There was no artistic skill whatsoever.

So, for a moment, Chen Jin’s throat was blocked and he really couldn’t say a word.

Chi Shuyan took in Teacher Chen’s stiff and unnatural expression. She didn’t want to make things difficult for him. She wasn’t interested in drawing, so she might as well go and catch a ghost. She used the pretext of returning the money to give the chair up to Ji Mingshu.

Chen Jin heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing her take the initiative to return the money to Su Yu, he nodded in relief. “I know you didn’t mean it before!”

Under Chen Jin’s gaze, Chi Shuyan could only brace herself, walk up to Su Yu, and ask if he wanted a refund. She had also thought it through. She was no longer the pauper she used to be. To be honest, 60,000 yuan was quite a small sum for her now. It was fine to return it.

As for Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo, she had a good impression of them. Whether or not they wanted a refund later, she would let those talismans protect their lives first.

Seeing the junior sister approach and ask Su Yu if he wanted a refund, Yao Zhao, Mao Di, Meng Ping and Huang Shanming looked at each other in dismay. For a moment, they wondered if she had discovered her conscience thanks to the teachers.

Su Yu was also stumped. He obviously didn’t expect the other party to come and offer him a refund.

Chi Shuyan swiftly transferred the money to him and said, “I’ll transfer the money to you first. You don’t have to return the talismans to me yet. If you think these talismans are worth it and you’re willing to buy them, you can transfer the money to me then!”

With that, Chi Shuyan turned around and left.

The others were baffled by her words. Was she returning the money or trying to scam them?

......

Su Yu stared blankly at Chi Shuyan’s departing back and didn’t speak.

Chi Shuyan didn’t care what the others thought. While everyone was drawing, she took a walk. It was probably because of her “heaven-defying” painting just now, but Teacher Chen didn’t seek her out again. He taught the other students, and only paid attention to Chi Shuyan out of the corner of his eye for a while. Seeing that she was fine and didn’t run around, he continued teaching the other students.

The other two teachers also coached the other students from time to time, and didn’t pay attention to Chi Shuyan at all.

No one was paying attention, so Chi Shuyan relaxed. Taking advantage of the moment, she went back to the cave entrance and carefully observed everything around it. However, she still couldn’t find any clues. She looked elsewhere and also studied the water seriously. Time pa.s.sed quickly, but unfortunately, she still didn’t have any clues.

After thinking about it, she felt that the river was a little strange. She also felt that the likelihood of something happening to Ji Mingshu and the others was the highest, so she immediately turned around and retraced her steps.

The sun was setting. It was almost 6pm. It had been cloudy in the afternoon. In the evening, there was some fog and it was a little dark.

Chi Shuyan arrived just as the students were packing up and preparing to get onto the bus to go back to the university. Chi Shuyan was worried about something happening to Ji Mingshu and Teacher Chen. When she walked over, she took a few more looks at them. Seeing that everyone was fine, with Teacher Chen still teaching the students, and Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo packing up their equipment, Chi Shuyan relaxed.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, Chi Shuyan planned to go into the river. She wouldn’t be rea.s.sured if she didn’t. However, just as she stepped into the river, a boy’s voice rang out not far away. “What are you doing? Don’t go into the water! Who knows how deep the river is!”

As soon as the boy shouted, the others followed his gaze and saw Chi Shuyan enter the water. Chen Jin’s face changed drastically. He couldn’t care less about teaching, and immediately strode over and pulled Chi Shuyan back onto the bank, his face serious and unsightly.

Old Yu and Cai Xuanqiao also came over. As soon as Cai Xuanqiao came over, she scolded Chi Shuyan harshly!

After her tirade, she said to Chen Jin in a very unpleasant tone, “Teacher Chen, if other students still want you to make an exception and find an excuse to come out with us to draw in the future, I advise you to refuse. If something happens, you won’t be the only one to bear the responsibility. The rest of us will have to share the burden. Also, you said before that this student is interested in drawing, but I didn’t see her drawing at all this afternoon. I think she was just looking for an excuse to come out and play!”

Chi Shuyan, who came out to play: …

It was rare for Chen Jin to turn red, but Old Yu quickly smoothed things over. Afraid that Chi Shuyan would cause trouble before he left, Old Yu could only get her to board the bus first.

Chi Shuyan admitted that she was unlucky at that moment, and it wasn’t good for her to argue back. Looking at Teacher Chen’s flushed and embarra.s.sed face, her thought of going into the river disappeared. Under the gazes of the teachers, she could only get onto the bus first.

Before she did so, however, she looked back at Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo, and saw that there was a lot of black cadaveric qi on their foreheads in particular. She then looked at Chen Jin and Teacher Yu; the black cadaveric qi on their foreheads had also increased. As for the teacher surnamed Cai on the side, Chi Shuyan subconsciously ignored her. She took the initiative to say, “Teacher Chen, Teacher Yu, why don’t we get on the bus together?” After saying that, she called for Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo to get on together.

Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo immediately replied, “Right away! Shuyan! You go first!”

Cai Xuanqiao said that she still had something to say to Chen Jin. As for Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo, they still had to finish packing.

Because of what just happened, Teacher Chen and Old Yu were obviously very worried about Chi Shuyan. They wanted her to get on the bus first, and Old Yu forced her to do so regardless of whether she agreed or not.

After she got on, Old Yu had the other students watch her before he left.

After she got on the bus, Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid kept twitching. She looked at the students who were already seated, and the black qi on almost every student’s forehead grew thicker.

Chi Shuyan had the feeling that something would happen soon. At that moment, the girls in the front row enthusiastically invited her to sit down, though most of the girls and boys on the bus weren’t very enthusiastic.

Chi Shuyan felt that it was probably because Jiang Tongle had complained about her extorting money.

Her eyes and ears were sharp. Sure enough, not long after she got on the bus, the students started to talk among themselves. Most of them were talking about how she had extorted money from Su Yu.

Chi Shuyan was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear them.

“Is your name Shuyan? Hurry and find a seat. When everyone else comes up later, it’ll be difficult to get a good seat!” a girl called Yao Qin said quite kindly.

Chi Shuyan felt a little uneasy. She narrowed her eyes and nodded in grat.i.tude, but was still prepared to get out of the bus to take a look.

A sharp cry suddenly rang out outside. “Someone fell into the water! Not good, someone fell into the water!”

Chi Shuyan’s face changed and she immediately wanted to get off the bus. However, Chen Jin and the other teachers helped a wet and unconscious girl onto the bus. Who else could it be but Jiang Tongle?

The others were also wet from saving Jiang Tongle, especially the three teachers. Chi Shuyan saw that Ji Mingshu, Yu Bo and Su Yu were also wet. Ji Mingshu’s face was very pale and her eyes were glazed over with fear. Her legs kept trembling. If it wasn’t for Yu Bo supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

The students in the bus were frightened by the sudden incident. Knowing that something had happened to Jiang Tongle, they immediately gave up their seats to her and the teachers. Jiang Tongle was quite popular in cla.s.s, and someone asked about her situation. Someone even took out towels and hurriedly asked, “Teacher, how’s Tongle? Is she okay?”

Chen Jin, Old Yu and Cai Xuanqiao answered the students, but their attention was all on Jiang Tongle. After determining that she had just swallowed some water and was fine, and her unconscious state wasn’t a huge problem, they relaxed and then instructed the other students to sit down.

Chi Shuyan’s attention s.h.i.+fted from Ji Mingshu to the unconscious Jiang Tongle again. She hadn’t noticed earlier, but seeing the black aura around Jiang Tongle that was several times thicker, Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned cold.

“Okay, everyone, go back to your seats. We’re going back to school!”
