Chapter 31: Chapter 31 The Rights That Should Be Accorded

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Cheng was not famous.

But Lin Yao was famous beyond comparison!

Ever since she started high school in her first year, Principal Yang had heard that their school had welcomed the so-called “most beautiful female student since the establishment of senior high schools.”

Superficial!

That’s what Yang Lingbao initially thought.

But after seeing Lin Yao by chance, he felt that the description was quite fitting, and it had some literary merit, especially in matching reality.

Acting on the intuition of an excellent principal, Yang Lingbao sought out Lin Yao’s homeroom teacher as soon as possible to have him pay special attention to Lin Yao.

Because Yang Lingbao believed that high school boys were very capable when it came to matters of the heart.

If anything happened because of Lin Yao, he, as the principal, wouldn’t be able to cope with it.

What Yang Lingbao did not expect was that the boys might have some skills, but Lin Yao seemed to have even more.

Throughout the three years of high school, including Lin Yao’s homeroom teacher, they hadn’t heard of any scandal involving her. Not only that, she seemed to not be dating at all.

It seemed she was not interested in high school boys.

This made Yang Lingbao secretly relieved.

The bomb was big, but it did not go off!

But who could have thought that just a moment ago, a male student from their high school who was previously not famous at all, was seen outside the campus with Lin Yao!

They looked as if their date had been interrupted as they hurried to the Task Hall.

Yang Lingbao initially didn’t believe that Lin Yao was dating. Her being seen outside of school could have been for other reasons.

And why would she suddenly start liking someone at the end of high school after not dating for three years?

But just now, Yang Lingbao saw the way Lin Yao looked at Jiang Cheng.

She completely had the air of a young girl with a crush.

He might have been skeptical before, but now he believed it.

Because no one (“pushing hands”), other than a high school principal (“spreading hands”), understands (“OK”) the secret crushes (“one index finger”) among students better.

“Jiang Cheng, come, sit here.”

Yang Lingbao’s tone was quite complex.

Jiang Cheng was indeed obedient, and he sat down where the principal had indicated.

Lin Yao obediently found a spot to sit next to Jiang Cheng.

The chairs in the Task Hall meeting room were quite spacious, but Lin Yao didn’t sit in the center of the chair. Instead, she insisted on sitting on the side closer to Jiang Cheng.

This subconscious body language did not escape the eyes of the experienced and shrewd senior educators present.

Various thoughts appeared in their minds.

Lei Buxiao: Damn, what does this kid mean by bringing his girlfriend here? Does he not respect me at all?

Lu Benwei: Tsk tsk, the boy has some good fortune with women.

Bai Wendao: Jiang has good taste. But this girl doesn’t seem like an easy one to handle.

Yang Lingbao: You little rascal, you don’t show it at school, but outside, you do have some skills!

“Jiang Cheng, Lin Yao’s homeroom teacher is still on vacation and won’t be able to return for now. Your uncle is busy with work, but he’ll be here later,” Yang Lingbao said.

“Oh,” Jiang Cheng did not understand why the principal was telling him this.

“Tell me, what have you been doing these few days after the college entrance exam?”

“I took on tasks at the Task Hall.”

“What tasks?”

“Designing talismans.”

“All designed by yourself!?” exclaimed the Talisman Master Association President, Lu Wang, as he suddenly stood up and shouted.

Jiang Cheng looked towards Lu Wang and bowed: “I referred to ‘Physical Enhancement’ for a part of it. I also did some research at the Cultivation Library. I happened to run into Professor Bai there.”

Everyone looked at Bai Wendao.

Bai Wendao felt conflicted, but he had no choice but to speak, “I can testify for him on this point.”

Since Yang Lingbao was already aware of Jiang Cheng’s talisman drawing, he continued to ask, “What talisman did you design?”

Jiang Cheng spoke the truth, “Muscle Relaxation Talisman.”

Yang Lingbao asked, “Do you know what the Muscle Relaxation Talisman is used for?”

Jiang Cheng looked at Yang Lingbao, puzzled. As the designer, how could he not know what it was used for?

“I know,” he said.

Yang Lingbao thought to himself what an idiot, at this moment, one should claim to be unaware!

However, once Jiang Cheng’s words were out, he could only continue to ask, “What are they used for?”

“For relaxing muscles,” Jiang Cheng replied.

“Nonsense! That talisman is clearly an overpowered control-type Talisman!” Lei Buxiao stood up immediately.

The crowd turned their attention to Lei Buxiao.

Soon, Liu Qi and Lu Benwei, seated next to him, pressed him back down.

“Dean, calm down, you must stay calm!”

A Core Formation raged, and even Lin Yao, sitting next to Jiang Cheng, felt an immense pressure.

Yet, Jiang Cheng, facing the pressure, was as steady as Mount Tai.

He was calm and composed, unflappable in the face of chaos, creating a stark contrast to the furious Lei Buxiao.

Lin Yao pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes involuntarily staring intently at Jiang Cheng.

Unmoved even if Mount Tai crumbles before him, undistracted even as a herd of deer frolics to his left.

She had to admit now that Jiang Cheng was indeed quite handsome.

The reason Jiang Cheng wasn’t afraid of Lei Buxiao wasn’t because he believed in Lei Buxiao’s character, but because he believed in his own innocence.

The Muscle Relaxation Talisman made sense, lawful and compliant; even if the Heavenly Dao itself arrived, the Heavenly Dao, the law, fairness, and justice would have to stand on his side.

Lei Buxiao might be powerful, but was he as powerful as the Five Great Immortal Sects?

Was he stronger than the laws and order set by the Five Great Immortal Sects?

Characters as formidable as Liu Qing could be suppressed by the Immortal Sect; what was a minor Core Formation cultivator in comparison?

Having said that much, Yang Lingbao no longer tested the waters and directly asked Jiang Cheng.

“Jiang Cheng, tell the Principal honestly, is the Muscle Relaxation Talisman actually an overpowered control-type talisman?”

“Preposterous. The Muscle Relaxation Talisman is unquestionably a harmless Healing Talisman,” Jiang Cheng said confidently.

Now it was Liu Qi who couldn’t sit still.

A harmless Healing Talisman?

I’ve fainted from the pain, and you’re telling me it’s harmless?

Liu Qi shot up saying, “Impossible! This talisman cannot possibly be a harmless Healing Talisman!”

The crowd looked towards Liu Qi.

Soon, Lei Buxiao and Lu Wang seated beside him pressed him back down.

“Director Liu, stay calm, cool down a bit.”

After quelling Liu Qi’s anger, Lu Wang, an authority in the field of talismans, spoke definitively.

“Ahem, theoretically, based on the design of talismans, the Muscle Relaxation Talisman should indeed be classified among Healing Talismans,” he said.

When Lu Wang spoke, the others no longer argued.

After all, the crux of the matter was not what type the Muscle Relaxation Talisman belonged to, but whether it helped some students cheat during exams!

Yang Lingbao asked again, “Jiang Cheng, according to some cultivators, they say the Muscle Relaxation Talisman causes the person who applied it to twitch all over. Is that true?”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “If used improperly, indeed it may have certain side effects, and in severe cases, it’s possible for one to experience full-body convulsions.”

Lu Benwei immediately stood up in objection, “Impossible! There must be something fishy here. How can a Healing Talisman have such a strong side effect!”

Bai Wendao and Lei Buxiao coordinated to calm him down, “Teacher Lu, calm down, let’s cool down first.”

In the face of these doubts, Jiang Cheng responded confidently and with dignity, “I have another Muscle Relaxation Talisman here; perhaps the elders could try it themselves to see.”

No one wanted to try, creating a slightly awkward scene.

Yang Lingbao spoke again, “Let’s set aside what properties the Muscle Relaxation Talisman might have, and Jiang Cheng, answer me truthfully, is there any possibility that this talisman could disrupt the educational order and help certain students cheat on their exams?”

Jiang Cheng spoke composedly, “Absolutely not. I have signed a talisman usage authorization agreement with each and every client, which clearly stipulates that any talismans from Jiang Cheng must not be used in any illegal scenarios. Moreover, I have also provided a detailed instruction manual for the use of the talismans, emphasizing its nature, function, usage, dosage, and potential adverse reactions.”

To ensure the veracity of his statement, Jiang Cheng especially opened his storage bag and took out the prepared documents.

“The instruction manual clearly records the consequences of misuse of the talisman. These include: vigorous exercise during the effective period can lead to muscle cramps. Excessive use of the talisman may cause a doubling of side effects…”

“In short…”

Jiang Cheng sat up straight, his fingers interlaced in front of him.

“If anyone disrupts the proper educational order, I am willing to assist all the elders in their investigation wholeheartedly. This is my duty as a resident of Wuyue City. But if anyone slanders my reputation, I will also reserve the right to sue them, as granted by the law.”
