Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 17

by North Night (夜北)

  “Oh.” Su Ya nonchalantly acknowledged, her gaze then shifting over to look at Gu Ying besides Tian Ze.

  Gu Ying had a handsome countenance and there was a big smile on his face. People who did not know his real personality would find it hard to develop any bad impressions against him but Su Ya already did not like him the moment she set her eyes on him.

  It was not due to anything else but only because she noticed that Gu Ying’s gaze had passed fleetingly over her little disciple, almost unnoticeably.

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1607: “Shielding One’s Charge”

  That gaze filled with a disarming smile, greatly displeased Su Ya.

  [Where had this little snot faced kid sprouted out from? Why is he even staring at her very own dumb disciple for! ? Has he never seen such an adorable little youth before! ?]

  “Come in.” Su Ya said coldly, with one hand leading Jun Wu, never looking straight at Gu Ying even once.

  Tian Ze went inside with Gu Ying, Gu Ying’s face beaming with smiles the entire time, not affected at all by Su Ya’s icy demeanor.

  “What is there to talk about? Spit it out. This woman here was the one who injured that kid. What? You want money in compensation or do you want my life?” Su Ya sat herself down upon the soft lounge looking highly at ease as she pressed Jun Wu right by her side, her demeanor protective of her charge.

  Tian Ze was bathed in cold sweat, feeling that Su Ya’s words might have been a little too direct.

  Gu Ying then said with a laugh: “Xu Mu was disrespectful towards Teacher Su Ya first and Teacher Su Ya had merely thought to deal with Xu Mu according to the rules of the Cloudy Brook Academy. Your junior here has no other motives but to carry through the motions due to my father’s orders. I beg that Teacher Su Ya would not take offence.”

  Gu Ying’s attitude was astounding polite and if not for the fact that Jun Wu Xie had seen Gu Ying before, it would have been really hard to believe that this highly courteous and well mannered youth was the same devil that killed indiscriminately at whim back in the Zephyr Academy. This attitude that changed like it was a completely different person, was rather surprising to see.

  But, Su Ya was not impressed by Gu Ying’s antics and no matter how well mannered Gu Ying was, Su Ya was still highly distant and cold.

  “Going through the motions? What kind of motions do you want to go through? Should we drag that kid here and let this woman thrash him up once more so that we can reenact the entire scene for you to see?”

  Tian Ze almost wanted to fall to his knees before Su Ya. [Just what was wrong with her that she has to be so fiesty?]

  “That is not needed. I merely wanted to ask how Xu Mu had disrespected Senior Su Ya that’s all. Xu Mu is afterall a member of our Blood Fiend Palace and if he kicks up a ruckus which results in an incident in here, it would naturally be the Blood Fiend Palace that’s in the wrong. If we have offended you in any way, we would then be able to deal with it appropriately.” Gu Ying spoke gracefully and in a refined manner, his attitude frighteningly amiable.

  Jun Wu Xie did not rest her gaze upon Gu Ying in the slightest but only had her head lowered in silence, looking like all of it had nothing to do with her, but her ears had not missed a single word that Gu Ying uttered.

  [A person like him is able to pretend to such an extent?]

  Just how lawlessly and unrestrained had Gu Ying been in the Lower Realm, having been extremely arrogant. But seeing him once again after the last parting had made it seem as if he had completely changed into another person, regardless whether it was his speech or his actions, the tone he spoke with, they were all totally different. If the same thing had happened back in the Lower Realm, Jun Wu Xie was certain that Gu Ying would not sit here to speak so calmly with Su Ya, but would have already struck.

  [Just what was different here that caused Gu Ying to restrain himself like this? Or could it be that he has an ulterior motive?]

  Faced with Gu Ying, Jun Wu Xie could not help but to be wary with what she did.

  The reason why Xu Mu had been thrashed up by Su Ya was widely known throughout the Cloudy Brook Academy. It was just because Xu Mu had blatantly gone to the Waning Moon Chambers and cursed at Jun Wu incessantly, where he was even going to strike Jun Wu.

  But when those words were spread, things took on a subtle and intriguing change.

  At the Cloudy Brook Academy, all teachers were not allowed to interfere with any fights and conflicts between the disciples, even when their disciples were definitely not a match for their opponents. As long as their methods were not too vicious or cruel, the disciples had to deal with it themselves.

  But Su Ya had adamantly stepped forth to resolve Jun Wu’s crisis and it had been before Jun Wu had suffered any kind of injury, which was obvious to see that that had been against the rules of the Cloudy Brook Academy.

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1608: “Shielding One’s Charge (2)”

  Tian Ze looked at Su Ya a little nervously. The matter could blow up to epic proportions and if the Blood Fiend Palace insisted to harp on this, the Cloudy Brook Academy’s reputation might be affected.

  Su Ya looked at the smiling Gu Ying and then casually stretched her hand out to lift the wine gourd at her hip to take a good long draw of the wine before she said: “That little bastard disrupted this woman sleep.”

  “…..”

  Su Ya’s reply immediately caused everyone there to be stunned.

  Even Jun Wu Xie had not thought that Su Ya would throw out such an irresponsible conclusion.

  [Disrupted her sleep?]

  The incident with Xu Mu had been a boiling topic that spread throughout the Cloudy Brook Academy and everyone knew what had exactly happened. But Su Ya was blatantly lying with her eyes wide open and doing it like she had every right to do that which even made Tian Ze to become speechless, unable to find a single word to say to that.

  Gu Ying was similarly startled by Su Ya’s words and it was quite a while before he recovered his senses.

  “What? Shouting out so loudly when it’s time for a teacher to rest which affected the teacher rest is not being disrespectful? Do you know how hard this woman had worked trying to research into spirit power and just had the opportunity to rest for a little bit but my dreams had to be interrupted rudely by someone which very nearly caused my spirit power to reverse its flow?” Su Ya snorted in contempt, her expression tyrannically saying that the fact she had not beaten Tian Ze to death was already the greatest mercy she could possibly show to Xu Mu.

  Jun Wu Xie listened highly intently at the side. If she remembered things correctly, before Xu Mu came to kick up a ruckus, besides drinking, Su Ya had not been engaged in any kind of honest or earnest “work”, and with her needing to rest….. she must surely have had too much drink.

  However, those words in Jun Wu Xie’s mind, would naturally be left unspoken.

  Tian Ze felt like he really had to give it to Su Ya. To be able to shield one’s charge and using such a blatant lie of righteousness and justice to cover up. Throughout the entire Cloudy Brook Academy, it was deemed that only Su Ya would be capable of such a feat and no one else.

  If the entire truth was dragged out here and exposed, the Blood Fiend Palace would have a handle against them and Jun Wu would be pulled into all of it. But with Su Ya saying it like this, she had cleanly heaped all responsibility upon herself, never once mentioning Jun Wu Xie, like all of this did not concern Jun Wu in the very slightest and everything had happened because Xu Mu had disturbed Su Ya’s rest.

  The pitiful Xu Mu besides having been beaten half to death, had now even been branded a criminal who offended a teacher…..

  Haiz, shielding one’s pupil to such an extent, was really just too maniacal for words.

  With that, no matter how Gu Ying wanted to pursue the matter, he would not be able to do anything about it.

  Su Ya had already said it to such an extent and afterall, no one would be able to ascertain what Su Ya had
been doing right at that moment, making it impossible to know whether Su Ya had struck because of Jun Wu or for her own sake. Such a situation, made everything unclear, and impossible to unravel.

  “Xu Mu had naturally been wrong. He had disturbed Teacher Su Ya’s rest and Teacher Su Ya was right in disciplining him, but there is one point that your junior does not understand.” Gu Ying said still smiling.

  “Speak.” Su Ya said impatiently.

  “The facts that your junior here heard in the Cloudy Brook Academy says the truth of the matter is a different story. They said that Xu Mu was going to spar with Teacher Su Ya’s disciple Jun Wu and Teacher Su Ya had injured Xu Mu before there was any contact between the disciples. It makes me can’t help but wonder….. what really happened then?” Gu Ying said, beaming with smiles.

  Su Ya laughed scornfully and tilted up her chin. “Really?” After saying that, she turned her head to look at Jun Wu. “That little bastard wanted to spar with you?”

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head very cooperatively.

  Su Ya then turned back to look at Gu Ying.

  “Why does this woman not know a thing about that? But as you have said yourself, they had not even started sparring and that kid had already been thrashed to a pulp by this woman here. Which would you now say is the truth?”

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1609: “Shielding One’s Charge (3)”

  Su Ya was just being an absolute thug!

  [You are saying that this woman is poking my hands into the affairs of the disciples?]

  [But too bad for you, before they had even starting to fight this woman had already thrashed him up properly. So if you were to base it on the sequence of events, this woman had beat him up first.]

  Su Ya’s highly tyrannical manner refuted all the words that Gu Ying had said completely and Gu Ying had initially planned to draw Jun Wu out but Su Ya had not budged in the slightest in her defence of her disciple but heaped all responsibility onto herself which completely shattered Gu Ying’s plan in an instant.

  “Teacher Su Ya is right. Your junior has been too dense and I ask that Teacher Su Ya to not take offence. I have disturbed you enough today and your junior should take his leave now. In regards to the incident with Xu Mu, the Blood Fiend Palace will definitely give you a satisfactory reply.” Gu Ying did not tarry any longer and he immediately stood up to leave.

  Su Ya gave a big yawn, unwilling to even utter a single word of the usual pleasantries and Tian Ze had to see Gu Ying out from there.

  Until after Gu Ying and Tian Ze left, the lazy languidness then immediately faded from Su Ya’s face and she pulled Jun Wu who was about to go about with his cultivation to come stand right before her.

  Jun Wu Xie blinked her eyes in puzzlement as she looked at her Master whose domineering tyranny had faded away.

  “You know that kid?” Su Ya asked with her eyes narrowed, as she stared seriously at Jun Wu.

  Jun Wu Xie had not thought that Su Ya’s senses would be that sharp as after Gu Ying had appeared, she had not even looked at Gu Ying once and Gu Ying had not paid her all that much attention as well. But despite all that, Su Ya had still caught on somehow.

  Right at the moment, Jun Wu Xie did not know how she was to answer.

  She should just deny everything but she did not want to use lies against Su Ya who had treated her with a sincere heart.

  Throughout the entire episode earlier, Su Ya had taken on an unwavering stance of protecting her and Jun Wu Xie was not willing to repay that with deceit but she also did not want to drag Su Ya into the plans she had planned which would just bring Su Ya unnecessary trouble.

  Afterall, knowing Su Ya’s character, if she came to know the kind of grievance she had with the Twelve Palaces, she would definitely jump right out and stand up for her.

  Jun Wu Xie could only choose to remain silent.

  Faced with silence, Su Ya just gave a long sigh. “I will not probe any further on what happened between you and him but as your Master, I need to remind you that that kid is not to be trifled with carelessly. Although his power is only at the stage level of the Purple Spirit, the murderous aura exuding from his entire body is somewhat startling. People like this are highly prone to slaughter and many a time, fighting someone like this does not depend only on the power levels of the two parties. If the day comes that you have to fight him, you will have to strike quick, lethal and and true to the mark. If you are unable to kill him with one single strike, immediately escape. Do not give him the chance to strike.”

  Su Ya looked earnestly at Jun Wu, her tone tinged with a kind of seriousness that Jun Wu Xie had never heard before.

  Jun Wu might not have noticed it but Su Ya had detected it.

  Although Gu Ying had only mentioned Jun Wu once, his words had nevertheless seeked to drag Jun Wu into the picture. With that, Gu Ying had done it highly subtly and if Su Ya had not seen that seemingly innocuous glance that Gu Ying had thrown upon Jun Wu, even she might not have noticed anything amiss.

  “Your disciple understands.” Jun Wu Xie replied, snapping back to her senses and nodded her head. No matter how Su Ya had detected that she and Gu Ying knew each other, Su Ya was doing all of this for her sake.

  Truthfully, Jun Wu Xie found Gu Ying’s appearance here a little strange as well. From the moment Gu Ying appeared here till he left, it would seem like he had been asking Su Ya about the incident with Xu Mu. But thinking about it carefully, one would discover that he had not questioned about anything, to the extent that even Su Ya’s highly implausible explanation, he had not raised any doubts nor probed any further for more details.

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1610: “Shielding One’s Charge (4)”

  That situation was very strange as it made what Gu Ying’s objective in coming here in the first place highly muddled and unclear.

  Jun Wu Xie secretly noted this in her mind and in order not to make Su Ya worry, she did not bring the matter up again much.

  Seeing Jun Wu being so considerate for her sake, the expression on Su Ya’s face softened quite a bit. She swept her hand out and smacked Jun Wu on the head, neither to heavy nor light, but made Jun Wu’s heart fill up with feelings of being indulged and doted upon.

  “Little brat, why is this woman even harping on this so much with you? With your skinny arms and legs, not to mention a Purple Spirit, even when you meet a blue or indigo spirit that you have to deal with alone, you had better go running away. In future, you should either obediently follow behind this woman here or go find yourself a peerless and unmatched powerful protector to protect you. Don’t go running around blindly as you little pint sized frame is sure to attract trouble and it wouldn’t do you any good to be running around on your own.” Su Ya was really finding it a little hard to understand. Her little disciple was so “honest and naive”, so why was he attracting so much strife all the time?

  Xu Mu, Gu Ying, and that entire bunch of pipsqueaks in the Cloudy Brook Academy. Why have they all set their eyes on little Jun Wu?

  In Su Ya’s eyes, her own little disciples really wouldn’t give people any trouble, never stirring up any headaches for her. Ask him to clean the place up and he cleans the place up. Ask him to go practice his cultivation and he goes practice his cultivation. Never hearing any word of protest. Low profile in the way he carries out task which causes people to often overlook his existence. So why did he attract the hatred of so many people so easily?

  Towards these questions Su Ya had in her mind, Jun Wu Xie would really not be able to adequately explain easily.

  If there came a day that Su Ya knew that the guileless and honest disciple that she knew was in fact a fluffy sheep that ate people without even spitting out bones, it was wondered what Su Ya would then think.

  Jun Wu was then dumped aside to quietly go practice cultivation and the Master and disciple pair then went on with their own tasks like nothing had happened before, doing what they needed to do.

  Tian Ze brought Gu Ying out from the Spir
it Mastery faculty and the two of them did not speak at all the entire way. Compared to another pair of people, the Master and disciple inside the Spirit Mastery faculty who shared such an utterly shameless harmony, Tian Ze held only wariness and more wariness against Gu Ying.

  “Teacher Tian Ze.” Gu Ying said as his steps suddenly stopped.

  Tian Ze halted himself and his face was dark as he said: “What is the matter?”

  Gu Ying went on to say with a smile: “My objective in coming here to the Cloudy Brook Academy has been achieved and my Father is still waiting for me to report back to him. Hence, I will not be able to stay here long and am intending to leave soon.”

  [Heh, when did this kid grow to become self aware? He knows that the Cloudy Brook Academy does not welcome him and he is intending to make himself scarce already?]

  Tian Ze almost wanted to clap his hands in joy and celebration, his heart soaring in high spirits. However, his face still had the same stern and stoic expression.

  “Oh? Is that so? Then you had better go back quickly to deliver your report. I will escort you outside now.” Tian Ze almost could not wait to send Gu Ying out of the Cloudy Brook Academy and he did not even ask Gu Ying whether he would want to go bid farewell to Gu Xin Yan at all but immediately just sent Gu Ying off to the main gates of the Cloudy Brook Academy.

  Gu Ying went out through the gates of the Cloudy Brook Academy and saw the stern gaze Tian Ze was still looking at him with. Gu Ying knew better than to stay there longer and he immediately opened his stride wide to walk forward.

  Inside the Cloudy Brook Academy, Lin Hao Yu who was still waiting for Gu Ying to avenge him would never even have dreamt that the courage he had struggled so hard to summon up in order to win Gu Ying’s help, would finally end up having Gu Ying leaving the place just like that without even a flick of his sleeves.
