Chapter 0009: Yun Xiaojie's Anger

  Rumble!

  A sudden and urgent clang of a copper gong broke the tranquility of the Wudong Institute, especially eerie at midnight.

  "There's a thief! A flying thief!"

  "Thief! A flying thief has jumped over from the girls' dormitory."

  Everything was like a well-rehearsed exercise, and in an instant, more than a dozen martial arts students swarmed out of the dormitory, each holding a torch and knocking on every door.

  "Get up! Catch the thief!"

  A moment later, the girls' dormitory on the other side erupted in a chorus of ear-piercing screams.

  "Where is my vest?"

  "What? My underwear is gone!"

  "Damn it, where did I put my undershirt?"

  The two heads responded, and the entire Martial Arts Academy suddenly boiled over. As soon as they heard that there was a theft in the girls' dormitory, the masculine energy on the boys' side surged, and the martial artists who were originally lying in bed and didn't want to get up all jumped out with righteous indignation.

  Kidding aside, it's rare to have such close contact with a female classmate, so if I don't take this chance to be extra nice, when will I?

  Upon hearing the news, it was said that the stolen items in the girls' dormitory were actually undergarments. The hot-blooded young men's human blood instantly transformed into beastly blood, and they became even more furious. They clenched their fists and began to loudly curse in the corridor.

  "Damn it, which sick bastard did this?"

  "My god, this is too embarrassing, right? Can't even get a woman without relying on that thing?"

  "You don't understand, it's called objectophilia."

  For a moment, saliva flew everywhere, and the small square in front of the boys' dormitory was packed with people. Xu Ting stood among the crowd with a gloomy face.

  He turned his head and asked a martial youth beside him, "Li Fei, was it you who first spotted the thief's trail?"

  That martial arts child named Lie Fei hastily said, "Yes, Young Master! I was sleeping dazedly and was woken up by a burst of urine. Not wanting to go to the outhouse, I just solved it on the spot at the corner of the wall. When I had just finished halfway, a figure suddenly jumped over from the other side of the high wall. It really scared me."

  "What does the thief look like? Have you seen him?" Xu Ting asked again.

  "I was half asleep and didn't see clearly. But the thief also saw me, in a panic, he ran to this side of the dormitory corridor. Because it was too dark, I don't know where he ran off to either."

  Xu Ting nodded and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Let's analyze the terrain and see that if we run to this corridor, it's all our boys' dormitory. In other words, this thief is likely an insider!"

  "Traitor? That makes sense."

  "Even with a thousand precautions and ten thousand precautions, it's hard to prevent theft from one's own family. Moreover, outsiders are not as familiar with the terrain here, so if I had to say, I think the possibility of an insider is very high!"

  Speculation ran rife, with guesses galore.

  Zhang Xian, who was standing beside him, was actually Xu Ting's most trusted partner in crime. He chimed in at the right moment: "If it's an insider, that makes things easy. Let's call out all the boys and search each dorm room one by one. In such a rush, the thief won't be able to get far, where can he hide the stolen goods?"

  "Hmm." Xu Ting said thoughtfully, "Zhang Shao makes a lot of sense. Alright, let's divide into three groups. Two groups will be responsible for watching both ends of the corridor and monitoring everyone's movements. The others will search each dormitory one by one!"

  Zhang Xian also chimed in: "I suggest that since no one has come out and the dormitory door is still closed, we should check those dormitories first. Because these dormitories are more suspicious."

  "Alright, it's settled then." Xuting made a hand gesture, and the boys immediately divided into three groups and took action. Xuting arrived at the foot of the high wall, with an air of confidence, and issued a clear voice, "Ladies, please be at ease, our male dormitory will immediately start self-examination, as soon as there is any movement, we will report it immediately."

  As soon as the words fell, a cold voice came from that side: "No need to wait, I'll come over and check it out myself, so you won't cover up for each other."

  A slender figure flipped over the wall and stood steadily in the center of the boys' school square, gazing coldly at this group of boys with contempt.

  "Cloud Little Sister, have you also lost something?" Xu Ting smiled and greeted.

  "Xu Ting, stop pretending to be close, let's investigate and take action quickly. The night is long and dreams are many, don't let the hateful thief escape!" This was Yun Qingyan, a young lady from the Yun family, one of the three major aristocratic families in Luojiang County, with a status similar to that of the Xu family, and also a core figure on the girls' side.

  Tonight, she lost two pieces of underwear that were hung outside to dry, and she was furious.

  Xu Ting was bumped by Yun Qingyan, but she didn't get angry. She smiled and said: "Please, Miss Yun."

  Clouds lightly smoke out of horse, style then more heroic. Walked a circle in the corridor, saw closed door dormitory, went up and kicked it open with one foot.

  Those martial arts students who were afraid of trouble and stayed hidden away, saw Yun Qingyan burst in with a fierce aura, each one only covering their vital parts with a blanket, not even daring to utter a harsh word.

  Yun Qingyan personally inspected every nook and cranny without letting any detail escape her notice. After the inspection, she faintly left a sentence: "Sorry to disturb you."

  Having checked three dormitories in a row, they came to the door of the fourth dormitory. Yun Qingyan stepped forward again.

  However, this time her foot surprisingly didn't kick open the door.

  Yun's face suddenly fell, and a layer of frost formed over it.

  "Who lives here?"

  "It seems like it's Qin's young son from Donglin Town."

  "He?" Yun Qingyan hummed, thinking to herself that this kid really didn't know how to behave. With so many dormitories, it was said that Big Sister Yun would personally inspect them, and everyone cooperated by leaving their doors slightly ajar. But this kid had actually closed his door tightly, not giving her any face at all!

  Xu Ting gave a signal, and Zhang Xian immediately understood, walking forward to pat the thick iron door: "Qin family's young master, you're in trouble. Yun Xiaojie has arrived personally, yet you dare not open the door. Is there something on your conscience?"

  Shouted for half a day, but there was no response at all.

  Yun Qingyan's face turned even uglier, she had never met such an impudent boy before, and he was just a humble commoner!

  "Don't open it? Then don't blame me for being rude."

  Yun Qingyan retreated two steps, poised and ready to strike with all his might. Just as he was about to kick out, the door creaked open from inside with a "creak".

  Qin Wushuang rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled: "What's going on with you guys in the middle of the night?"

  That expression is as innocent as it gets.

  Yun Qingyan awkwardly withdrew her foot and scolded, "We've been knocking on the door for half a day outside, didn't you hear?"

  "For goodness' sake, what are you knocking on the door for in the middle of the night? I was having a great dream about marrying my wife, and you've ruined it all." Qin Wushuang complained incessantly, seemingly without a care in the world.

  "Those with the surname Qin, stop pretending to be innocent. There was a theft in the girls' dormitory, and the thief is likely to be among us boys. If you have nothing to hide, cooperate with Yun Xiaojie and search thoroughly. If it has nothing to do with you, continue dreaming." Zhang Xian said with a sly smile.

  "Looking for a house? What's the basis?" Qin Wushuang rolled her eyes, displeased.

  "Qin Wushuang, you're shameless. If you don't let me search, it just proves that you have a guilty conscience." Zhang added fuel to the fire and slapped a big hat on him as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "Oh? So you're all innocent, why don't you let Miss Yun search you one by one?"

  "You're really talkative, so you're saying I shouldn't search anymore?" Yun Qingyan said coldly.

  "If you want to search, it's not like I completely can't allow it, but how do I know if this is some kind of malicious targeting against me? If you're going to search, then all the male students should be searched too. Don't even think about taking a single step into my home unless everyone else does."

  Yun Qingyan said: "After searching here, other places will naturally be searched, what's the use of you teaching?"

  "No way, absolutely not." Qin Wusuo smiled lazily, but his words were firm and unyielding. "I have to get them to say something, in case they try to welch on the deal later, who can I reason with then?"

  "Qin Wushuang, a straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow, who exactly are you trying to drag down?"

  Qin Wushuang laughed and said, "I'm afraid some people are not upright, their shadows are even more crooked than the wall. The wicked will accuse first. I'll say it again, everyone here needs to be searched, and only then will I allow it. Xu Ting, as a young master of a wealthy family, why don't you set an example?"

  Xu Ting said seriously: "Miss Yun wants to search my dormitory, Xu has no objection."

  Zhang Xian also chimed in: "My place can be searched at any time too."

  Others nodded in agreement, all indicating that they were clear conscience and would not push three to block four.

  Yun Qingyan saw Qin Wushuang repeatedly blocking the way, already having three points of suspicion. Seeing everyone's attitude, she coldly said: "Everyone's attitude has been expressed, Qin Wushuang, if you don't let go now, don't blame me for being impolite."

  Qin Wushuang hated it when others threatened him. His previously smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Whether you're polite or not, it's all the same to me. I, Qin, can let you search me, but remember, this isn't giving you face, it's just that I want to see who will be the real joke in the end."

  Qin Wushuang was always polite to women, but Yun Qingyan's cold and arrogant demeanor, combined with her haughty and condescending attitude as a noble lady, made him feel extremely bored.

  He casually opened the door completely and thoroughly exposed it in front of the onlookers.

  "Everyone has put on a bright face! Wanting to see Qin Certain's joke, today might disappoint you all!"

  Xu Ting Chao looked at Li Fei, who was one of the two people who had stolen the girls' clothes earlier and was also the main culprit in framing Qin Wu Shuang. When he saw Xu Ting Chao looking at him, his eyes immediately shifted to the trunk under the bed.

  Yun Qingyan swept her gaze around the entire dormitory, and finally locked onto this trunk. With a hook of her foot, she pulled it out from under the bed.

  Qin Wushuang coldly smiled and said, "Cloud Big Sister, if you think this box is dirty and has tainted your hand, then don't check it. Using your foot to hook my box, what kind of behavior is this? Is this how you show your superiority?"

  Yun Qingyan turned her head, gave Qin Wushuang a deep and meaningful glance, her eyes filled with an inexplicable disdain, as if she saw Qin Wushuang as insignificant dust.

  Zhang Xian has already begun to clench his fists and rub his palms, while Xu Ting is motionless, staring at the box. All eyes are focused on that box.

  It's as if all the evil in the world is hidden inside this box at this moment!
