Wu Heng was rendered speechless, Instructor Wu snorted coldly. “Yun Chujiu, although you are eloquent, you can’t escape the blame. Since yesterday, you’re the only one that entered the crane’s Beast House. If you didn’t do it, then who did? Instructor Yuan, what punishment would one receive for openly harming the Academy’s Spirit Beast?”
“If that’s the case, then the student would be expelled,” said instructor Yuan from the disciplinary department. Because of Yun Chujiu’s previous performance, his words were rather strict, as he was afraid of being caught by Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu glanced at Instructor Wu. “Instructor, you have to be responsible for your words. What do you mean by saying that if it wasn’t me, then who did it? Could it be that I have already been labeled a criminal? I have no enmity towards those Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes. Why should I pluck out their tail feathers? Those tail feathers cannot be eaten or sold. What’s the point of plucking them?”
When the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes heard Yun Chujiu lying through her teeth, they were so angry that they started to twitch. However, when they recalled Yun Chujiu’s warning just now, they did not dare to do anything. They lowered their heads and did not make a sound.
Instructor Wu was stunned by Yun Chujiu’s retort. He said angrily, “If you didn’t pluck them out, where did the tail feathers of these vermillion-beaked cranes go?”
Yun Chujiu spread her hands. “How would I know if you ask me? Perhaps they felt that it was too hot, so they pecked each other’s feathers off! It was also possible that some people were trying to slack off! Although the tail feathers did not have any other uses, they could still be used as fans. Some people were so fat, so they would need a lot of feathers to fan themselves! Otherwise, why would the cranes attack that person for no reason? Why didn’t the cranes attack the others?”
The Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes were so angry that they were on the verge of collapse.
‘Feeling too hot? Did we peck each other’s feathers off? It’s not like we have a problem with our brains. This little girl’s words were too sarcastic!’
The onlookers felt that the second possibility that Yun Chujiu mentioned was more likely. Yes, if it was not Wu Heng who did it, why did the cranes attack him? Moreover, he also had an advantage over the others. He might have accessed the Beast Houses with his uncle’s help.
Wu Heng saw the suspicious gazes of the crowd and cursed angrily, “Stupid girl, you’re spouting nonsense! Even if I were to make a fan, I wouldn’t need to use the tail feathers of a Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Crane. I can just use the feathers of a Sharp-billed Crested Ibis!”
As soon as Wu Heng said this, he knew that he had spoken too much. Instructor Wu had often taken some materials from demonic beasts, especially feathers and the like. In the past, he had given Wu Heng a fan made of the feathers of the Sharp-billed Crested Ibis.
However, there was no room for him to take back his words. Everyone immediately made the connection. Instructor Wu was so angry that he wanted to slap Wu Heng to death, ‘That idiot!’
How could Yun Chujiu let go of such a good opportunity? She immediately clapped her hands. “Haha! Did you just admit to your crime? Since you admitted to plucking the feathers of the Sharp-billed Crested Ibis, the tail feathers of the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes must have also been plucked by you.
“Although I don’t know what you used it for, it must have been done by a habitual criminal like you! Instructor Yuan, quickly expel this Wu Heng! Instructor Wu is a righteous person. He actually reported his nephew personally. It’s really admirable!”
How could Wu Heng beat Yun Chujiu in a war of words? He was dragged in by Yun Chujiu with just a few words, Instructor Wu glanced at Yun Chujiu sinisterly. “Yun Chujiu, you don’t have to be so glib. You’re the biggest suspect. Who plucked the tail feathers of these Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes? These Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes will be the ones to tell us. I’ll ask the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes now and see how you get out of this..”
Wu Heng was rendered speechless, Instructor Wu snorted coldly. “Yun Chujiu, although you are eloquent, you can’t escape the blame.
