Chapter 980 - 451: Zhang Haoyang Made Wang Ze Suffer_2

Maybe this is just human nature.Truly despicable.

Luckily they’re not the only despicable ones; Bai Bufan is too. Considering the situation is stronger than the person, he chose to slide-kneel.

Bai Bufan glanced ingratiatingly at the nearest Zhou Baowei and Qin Zeyu: "Yeah, the plan did have a tiny little accident this time. Didn’t expect Old Jian to basically ultra-evolve."

—Xue Jian’s response this time really gave Bai Bufan a deep shock; he really had underestimated him a bit.

How to put it, growth is different for everyone.

Some people’s growth is like: from Charmander to Charmeleon to Charizard to Mega Charizard; every evolution is a qualitative leap.

And some people’s growth is like: from baby Snorlax to Snorlax to Gigantamax Snorlax; every growth is just... more growth.

The best example of the latter is Zhou Baowei, and Bai Bufan originally thought Xue Jian was the same type.

But clearly, he judged wrong; Xue Jian’s growth is the former.

The current him and the Xue Jian from when Bai Bufan first met him are already completely different beings; back then he was just a stress toy for others to knead, and now he’s a gorgeous but thorny rose.

Fine to admire from a distance or play with up close, but if you’re not careful you’ll get pricked.

Bai Bufan continued groveling for mercy:

"Anyway, it really was a mistake this time, Lin Li bears the main responsibility. Of course, I’ve got a tiny issue too. I know I was wrong, sorry sorry, I hope everyone can forgive us, at least forgive me. Bao Wei, I’ll trade my Peace Fruit for your Peace Scroll, how about it?"

Faced with the temptation of the apple, Zhou Baowei just sneered and shook his head.

He’s dumb, but not that dumb; this apple can’t be eaten, it’ll put him in danger.

Besides, once Bai Bufan’s dead, he can sneak-eat the sacrifices and get way more goodies. Pros and cons, Zhou Baowei already has a scale in his soles.

Qin Zeyu, on the other hand, actually looked gentle: "It’s not impossible. You want forgiveness, right?"

Bai Bufan’s eyes lit up: "Exactly exactly! Ze Yu, I’ve thought you were a promising kid since you were little! I’ve been sick of Lin Li for ages! I’ll stand with you guys right now and trash-talk Lin Li!"

Qin Zeyu’s eyes lit up even more: "God will definitely forgive you. And we were planning to send you to meet God anyway, so you’ll definitely get it then. This is great, Bufan, this is mutual, two-way love!"

Bai Bufan: "..."

I’ll two-way your ass.

Just as Bai Bufan awkwardly prepared to crawl back to Lin Li’s side, Lin Li had already resolutely grabbed Zhou Baowei’s test paper and walked up to the podium.

Lin Li tapped the blackboard with his finger: "Quiet down, everyone."

Shi Siyuan: "Lin Li’s right. It’s self-study tonight. Back row, that’s your reminder. And Lin Li, Bai Bufan, this is each of your third strikes. Remember to report to the office yourselves tomorrow night and explain things to the teacher."

Lin Li: "..."

Bai Bufan: ...He literally didn’t even say anything just now, okay.

But he only dared complain in his heart, because Bai Bufan had a feeling if he opened his mouth he’d get a fourth strike.

"Leave the test paper to me!" Ignoring Shi Siyuan, Lin Li on the podium shook the test paper in his hand: "Everyone, it’s not impossible to finish this Peace Scroll on Christmas Eve!"

"You all probably haven’t figured out Old Jian’s intention yet."

"Remember, peace is something each of us is pursuing. And what we’re pursuing isn’t just our own peace."

"We want everyone we know to be safe, and we’re willing to lend a hand for others’ peace. When someone you know is in danger, would anyone really choose to kick them when they’re down?"

byd, before the class could answer, Lin Li rushed his words at top speed and went on:

"So, the deeper meaning Old Jian hid is here: peace doesn’t just rely on yourself, but on each other—this Peace Scroll needs all of us to complete it together."

"As long as we each do our part, write different questions according to our level—my monitor, Prison King, and the other top students handle the last few multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, and long-answer questions; those a bit weaker do the basics; even someone like Wang Ze, who still drools after being cured, can at least handle the first multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.

With this kind of division of labor, finishing the paper in ten-something minutes is no problem at all; everyone gets to be safe and sound."

Bai Bufan suddenly saw the light and chimed in cooperatively: "So that’s how it is!"

"Right? The test’s actually pretty easy. I just skimmed it, the multiple-choice answers should be A-C-B—"

Before Lin Li could keep rattling off answers, Xue Jian appeared at the doorway with a dark face: "Lin Li, get down."

There was never any "I’ve got something to do but I’ll be back later." The moment he stepped out, Xue Jian hid outside the door to eavesdrop on the class.

He wanted to see rivers of blood!

At first things did go his way. When he heard Lin Bai getting attacked by the rest of the class, if students from other classes had been in the corridor, they would have been shocked to see that even iron trees can blossom—because in their eyes, the ever-stern, never-smiling Teacher Xue could actually smile that kindly and gently.

Worth it.

Worth going back to dig out those test papers from Ping’an District and specially printing them out.

But Xue Jian still underestimated what kind of solutions Lin Li could come up with; he never in a million years expected him to just go straight to "brainstorm together, unity is strength."

Trying to complete his trial by piecing the test together as a team effort.

That was a bit missing the point, so he had no choice but to stop spectating and step in.

"’Kay~"

Seeing Xue Jian, Lin Li shrank his neck, gave a fawning smile, and then slunk off the stage.

But for Xue Jian to show up at such a "coincidental" timing, Lin Li naturally also realized he’d never left at all.
