Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Zhuge Fei raised his hands to protect himself, like a trembling, weak baby bird.

But she didn't feel any pain, only a slight tightening of her neck, as if something had been pulled off.

Immediately, the sword was pulled out, a crack was created in the tough wall, and some stone fragments and powder fell on Zhuge Fei's shoulders.

Su Ruoli took back the Chuyao sword.

Bai Yu looked at Miss Su and said, "I thought you would at least give her a slap."

Su Ruoli returned to her familiar gentleness, and after retracting her weapon, she was no longer as fierce.

"I'm not such a rude girl. Besides, it seems that she really doesn't realize where she's wrong. Maybe she's just a spoiled child. I think these lessons are enough. She's already ruined. For someone like her, there's nothing more painful than giving her a slap in the face."

"She was so frightened that it made me feel a little uncomfortable... I didn't expect that she really didn't have the energy to resist at all."

If Zhuge Fei had even the slightest intention of resisting, she could naturally teach him a lesson.

But Zhuge Fei was so frightened that he collapsed and couldn't move. He was obviously a third-year student and his realm was also the second level, but he didn't even have the courage to fight.

Su Ruoli had no choice but to withdraw all her aggressiveness. With her personality, it was difficult for her to do such arrogant things as bullying the weak.

She also found a way to save face: "Besides, we still need the cooperation of the Formation Society. It wouldn't be appropriate to make things too awkward, right?"

Bai Yu respects Su Ruoli's choice.

Although he admired Su Ruoli's kindness, if it were him, he would not be so magnanimous. No matter what, he would have to let the other party get a slap in the face to feel relieved.

At this moment, Zhuge Fei stood up in disbelief. She touched the empty pendant on her body and asked in a sharp voice with a look of collapse: "You, you came here... and did so much!"

"It's just……"

"Just to get that pendant back?!!!"

Her emotions fluctuated, and her voice was sharp and trembling.

She's going crazy.

Just a pendant!

If you had told me earlier, would I not give it to you?

I don't want this thing at all. No matter how much I want it, I won't make things difficult for you just for a pendant!

I, Zhuge Fei, am a nobody. The gifts I give out every year are worth millions, but it’s just a pendant!

She couldn't understand it at all.

He couldn't help but go crazy when he thought that he had been ruined because of a pendant and became the laughing stock of the entire Penglai Academy.

This hurts more than the slap in the face that didn't land.

What a shame!

She had to get to the bottom of it.

The students who were watching couldn't help but start whispering.

At the beginning, they were discussing and guessing what was the reason that made Zhuge Fei kick this iron plate, but they didn't expect that the cause of everything was just a pendant?

The reporter from the news department was recording silently. With a twinkle in his eyes, he wrote down all the information in detail. This was excellent news material.

At the same time, he also knew that if Bai Yu and Su Ruoli did not give a reasonable explanation, Zhuge Fei would be disgraced, but they would also be branded as someone who relied on their military strength.

Reputation is very important. The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Some say that infamy is better than obscurity; but why did these two people need to resort to this method to become famous?

"only?"

Su Ruoli looked at the pendant in her palm and said in a light and resounding voice, "This is my sister's relic."

Chapter 277 Big News

"This is my sister's relic."

When Su Ruoli said this, it did not mean that she had already tacitly accepted the fact of Su Ruoji's death.

It’s just that the word “relics” is the most appropriate here.

As she said this, all suspicions disappeared.

Retrieve the belongings of your loved ones.

Reasonable.

For the Daxia people who value family, if they take extreme actions to protect their loved ones, although the behavior is flawed, the morality is flawless.

During the Han Dynasty, the system of recommendation was practiced. A major point of the recommendation system was the word "filial piety". Those who were recommended as filial and honest could directly enter the court as officials... However, if one was unfilial, he would be ostracized and looked down upon by the whole society.

Human morality and laws and rules are two different things.

Now here is the typical conflict of this matter.

It is reasonable for Su Ruoli to retrieve her relatives' belongings, and no one can stop her, otherwise the other party will be nailed to the moral level.

So the two of them broke into the Formation Society alone, with feelings to rely on and traces to follow.

Not only does it not count as relying on force to commit violence, but it also represents a noble morality that is not afraid of being stopped.

If ordinary people knew about this situation, they would definitely not think of calling in directly, but would try to get the money back through other means of private transactions.

But they chose not to do so. Instead, they withstood all the pressure, defeated several powerful enemies in succession, and retrieved their loved ones' belongings on their own.

This is not an exchange or charity from the other party, but something you get back!

This alone makes a difference!

Zhuge Fei opened her mouth. She had thought about a lot of things, but she didn't expect this to be the answer.

But her subconscious voice became much weaker, probably because she finally realized that she had made a mistake, and her attitude inevitably declined.

She forced herself to remain calm and asked, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

Su Ruoli took out another identical pendant to show it. The moment they got close, they overlapped, just like two magnets naturally overlapping.

There is no better proof than this, and she will never mistake this pair of jade pendants.

Zhuge Fei was also stunned for a few seconds.

The atmosphere at the scene became strange. People probably started to speculate how she had robbed the place... People with rich imaginations had already started to construct a whole Urban Dragon King-style plot in their minds.

All Bai Yu needed was to put a √ on the corner of his mouth.

"Now it's your turn to explain. Where did you get the jade pendant?" Su Ruoli asked calmly.

Zhuge Fei hesitated, then replied, "This is... a birthday present I received."

"Who sent this birthday present?"

"I forgot. It's been a long time." Zhuge Fei recalled nervously, but the more nervous he became, the harder it was to recall. "But I definitely didn't steal it. I have no reason to steal this pendant!"

No matter how much she liked the pendant, there was no need to steal it; it was just a rare item.

"If you need a reminder, I can tell you." Su Ruoli said word by word: "Heaven and Earth Academy, Qianchen Society, Su Ruoji..."

A senior student present suddenly stood up and asked, "The Qianchen Society that disappeared collectively three years ago?"

He had a recollection of this, and after recalling it, he said, "I remember now, there was indeed a senior student named Su Ruoji in there... So, this is her relic?"

Zhuge Fei clutched the clothes on his chest and cried out in grievance: "I don't know, I really don't know, this has nothing to do with me, how could I know that this gift is someone else's relic!"

She gritted her teeth, and after figuring it out, she suddenly felt that she was being wronged. "If it's a relic, why didn't you just tell me no? Why did you have to draw the sword? Why did you have to make such a fuss?"

Zhuge Fei simply couldn't understand: "Isn't this just taking out your anger?"

A faint blue hue lit up in Su Ruoli's eyes, proving that her emotions were not as calm as her voice.

"This jade pendant must have been carefully preserved, or left within the society. It's just that she never returned. My family has since repeatedly requested the relic's return, but has been refused."

"When I came to the Formation Society yesterday, I was rejected again and again when I applied. Then I saw this pendant appear on you."

"How do you think I should judge?"

"Should I slowly reason with you and ask you to return my things to me... or should I go to the Formation Society and demand an explanation?"

"If it's the former, then it might be possible, but these are my loved ones' relics. Why should I bow my head and beg you?"

"If it's the latter, can the Formation Society give me a satisfactory answer? Or will it just drag on indefinitely?"

"Ask yourselves, don't you have the answer in your heart?"

"If the Formation Society had returned my sister's belongings from the beginning, how could it have come to this?"

The more Su Ruoli spoke, the colder her voice became, and the sharper the echo it produced.

Although she did not draw her sword, the Qingming sword energy had already lit up behind her, like a sword pointing to the sky. Her three thousand black hairs swayed in the wind, symbolizing her anger, which became more and more indestructible.

She rarely gets angry, but at this moment she is really angry.

The object of anger was not Zhuge Fei, but this high-sounding Formation Society.

So she didn't need to slap Zhuge Fei, because the biggest responsibility belonged to the Formation Society, and it was its connivance that caused the situation to deteriorate step by step.

Su Ruoli and Bai Yu had only two real purposes for coming here.

One is to retrieve the Mingyu Pendant; the other is to make the Formation Society famous.

Now that it has been clarified that Zhuge Fei is not the one responsible for the evil, her existence is just a stepping stone, and the real culprit still comes from within the Formation Society.

It would take too much time to investigate this matter, which would only magnify its impact.

The reporters in the news department's eyes lit up, feeling that they would definitely have an entire page to themselves this time.

He could fully imagine what kind of exciting things would happen next.

——He withheld the missing students’ belongings and refused to return them to their families, and even secretly gave them away as gifts to please Zhuge Qingyun’s sister.

The matter seems very simple, but Zhuge Qingyun is the second in command of the Formation Society, and the purpose of the person who gave the gift is self-evident. From this point of view, the Zhuge brothers and sisters can be said to be to blame.

It is not serious, but its nature is too bad and will seriously undermine the credibility of the Formation Society. It is like kicking a widow's door or digging up the graves of a family with no descendants in the countryside... Anyone who does such a thing is extremely immoral.

The reporters were filled with indignation when they thought of this - this bastard can no longer be considered a human being!

What's even more embarrassing is that the Formation Society hit two iron walls.

Who dares to say that Bai Yu and Su Ruoli will not become the bright moon and the scorching sun in the future?

Once this matter gets out, all the students in Penglai College will follow suit, and there will inevitably be a wave of people taking advantage of others' misfortunes and throwing trouble into the snow.

When the time comes, everyone will push the wall down, and the reputation of Tiandi Academy will also plummet.

He licked his lips, and just imagining the scene made him want to drill his brain with his fingers - it was so exciting.

The smile gradually changed.

……

At the scene, the atmosphere became frozen and tense after Su Ruoli drew his sword.

Some people were worried that she would get really angry and flatten the Formation Society building with one sword.

Fortunately, someone came to rescue us at this time.

Ximen Jing's secretary stepped forward and said, "We will conduct an internal investigation into this matter within the Formation Society. I believe the results will be out within three days and will be made public at that time."

"As for the application submitted by Miss Su to establish the Qianchen Society... you two can return to Chuanwu Academy to submit it. At that time, we will return all remaining items in the society in full."

"From the perspective of the Formation Society, we were indeed wrong in this matter. We will do our utmost to make amends in the future... On behalf of Minister Ximen and the members of the Formation Society, I apologize to you two."

Her words were flawless, and she also clarified her position in just a few words. Ximen Jing was indeed not the same kind of person as Zhuge Qingyun, so the secretary's words were more trustworthy.

Su Ruoli closed her eyes, and the suffocating Qingming sword energy gradually subsided.

She turned calmly: "Let's go back."

The goal has been achieved, and everything you want has been obtained. There is no need to stay any longer.

The seeds have been planted, and she no longer cares about what will happen to the Formation Society in the future.

Before leaving, Bai Yu glanced back at Zhuge Fei and said calmly, "If you're not convinced, wait for Zhuge Qingyun to come back and come find us at Chuanwu Academy."

"Always waiting!"

The young man left the Formation Society, coming through the main gate and leaving through the same gate.

There is a heroic spirit that has not been seen in Penglai Academy for a long time.
