CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: 2 EARS IGNORING THE SOUND OF DOGS BARKING

"Qian Qi! What the hell are you trying to do!"

Xu Jing didn’t understand why Qian Qi would come after him, but being dragged like this in public was humiliating, so he angrily exclaimed, "You damn well let me go! Just because you sell some crappy magic potions, don’t think you can do whatever you want!"

Benefiting from the Blood Stopping Magic Potion and the Defense Fruit, Qian Qi indeed had some reputation on campus, but if he wanted to rule the roost here, this wasn’t enough!

Qian Qi ignored the barking dogs around and dragged Xu Jing, pressing him down on the stone chair under the dorm building.

Seeing Xu Jing trying to struggle, she placed her hands on his shoulders, pinning him firmly on the stone chair and instructed Zhang Feng to tie his hands.

Looking up to see the Skill Department students gathering downstairs to watch, Qian Qi adjusted the microphone of the loudspeaker and said lightly to Xu Jing, "Xu Jing, you’re mistaken. How am I doing whatever I want? I’m saving your life!"

"What?" Xu Jing didn’t understand. He was wondering if Qian Qi was a Power Awakener because of her strength when his jaw was suddenly clenched by Qian Qi, forcing him to look across.

"See that?" Qian Qi said eerily, "The Magic Plant Department students have come for revenge on you."

Only then did Xu Jing notice that the dormitory building was surrounded by nearly a thousand students. He was dumbfounded.

What is this situation?

"What do you want? Are you crazy?" Xu Jing couldn’t help but struggle again, sensing an ominous feeling, "This is the Skill Department College! Not your Magic Plant Department College, what are you crazies doing here?"

"Did you forget what you did this morning?" Qian Qi kindly reminded him, "You destroyed those students’ Magic Plants."

"So what?" Xu Jing frowned and cursed, "I wasn’t the only one doing it, it’s pretty normal for Skill Department students to go to the Magic Plant Department and mess with some Magic Plants!"

The school hadn’t explicitly forbidden this, so it was always a tacitly allowed behavior. The Skill Department students would occasionally get the urge to head to the Magic Plant Department’s back mountain to practice on mature Magic Plants.

Of course, it depended on luck too; healthy Magic Plants weren’t always present on the mountain, and they’d be picky, dismissing unhealthy plants for practice as boring.

Previously, some students from the Magic Plant Department had resisted, but with both department deans taking an apathetic and tacit stance, the matter eventually fizzled out.

So using Magic Plants for practice had become an unspoken privilege of the Skill Department students. Qian Qi stirring things up now would only end up in a humiliating defeat.

"Let me go immediately! Did you hear me!" Seeing more students gathering, Xu Jing shouted in anger, "Damn it, the Magic Plant Department students are crazy! These lunatics want to challenge our Skill Department! They’re going to kidnap me—"

Qian Qi, having no socks of her own, took Zhang Feng’s socks and stuffed them into Xu Jing’s mouth.

Xu Jing: "Mmph???"

Zhang Feng, forcibly stripped of his socks: "..."

You’re ruthless!

Qian Qi twisted her neck and stretched her joints, "The numbers are about right. Time to start our counterattack."

Zhang Feng, Liang Yuting, and others looked at Qian Qi with confusion in their eyes, but there was always a sense of trustfulness.

At some point, Qian Qi seemed to have gradually become their backbone, prompting them to seek her advice when faced with irresolvable difficulties.

Though she charged a small fee each time they asked questions, it didn’t prevent them from gradually changing their view of her, regarding her as someone reliable and trustworthy.

And this reliable figure cleared her throat and adjusted the volume of her Beekeeper PA system to maximum.

"Fellow students of Awakener University!"

Her voice was broad and bright, with a resounding clarity that always captured people’s attention, "Today, a serious incident occurred in our Magic Plant Department."

She lifted Xu Jing, "Our fellow student Xu Jing, along with his classmates and friends, brazenly entered our Magic Plant Department’s back mountain, completely destroying our cultivated Magic Plants and ruining our months of hard work."

"And I was shocked to learn that this has happened countless times!"

Qian Qi’s voice was filled with anguish, "I really couldn’t believe it; that Skill Department students would do such things! It causes us in the Magic Plant Department immense heartache, sorrow, and anger!!!"

"All Skill Department students who have participated in this, witnessed it, or ignored it, you all owe us an apology!"

Her powerful voice overrode the murmurs, allowing it to be heard clearly by the Skill Department dorm complex, prompting students from other dorms to look out their windows, curious to see what was happening.

However, upon hearing Qian Qi’s grand accusation, they were instantly unwilling.

"Wasn’t this tacitly allowed?"

"It’s just a few Magic Plants, why make such a big fuss? If someone didn’t know better, they’d think a rebellion was happening!"

"Plus, they were the ones who went to destroy the Magic Plants; it’s got nothing to do with us..."

"I was just minding my own business, and suddenly I’m being blamed for nothing..."

The Skill Department students were noisy and obviously perturbed by Qian Qi’s accusations, and such a large scene attracted both the Skill Department Dean and the school principal.

The dormitory caretaker, sensing something was amiss, immediately contacted the Skill Department Dean, while the Magic Plant Course teacher, upon finding out that Qian Qi and the others were possibly heading to the Skill Department for a fight, quickly informed the principal.

"What are you doing here?" The first to arrive was the Skill Department Dean, Fan Jinghai, striding through the crowd and scolding, "Gathering this many people here; are you planning a rebellion?"

"Mmph! Mmph mmph—!" Upon seeing the dean, Xu Jing’s spirits lifted, wriggling like a worm, but the sock in his mouth made his speech incomprehensible.

Qian Qi kindly helped by pulling the sock out.

Xu Jing spat twice, utterly disgusted, and then loudly called out to Fan Jinghai, "Dean! Save me! Qian Qi kidnapped me!"

To avoid appearing weak, Xu Jing did not forget to add, "Dean! I suspect she’s a Power Awakener!"

He argued confidently, "School rules stipulate that Awakened Skills cannot be used on regular students; I adhered to the rules in good faith of not harming classmates, and that’s why I was captured by her, but I didn’t expect her to use skills on me!"

"I could easily counterattack! If not for the fact that she’s a girl!"

Turning back, Xu Jing addressed Qian Qi with a gentle tone, with none of his earlier helplessness and arrogance, "Qian Qi, just let me go, this was your fault, apologize and I won’t hold it against you!"

Hearing Xu Jing’s words, Fan Jinghai frowned and looked at Qian Qi, "What’s going on with your Magic Plant Department? And you, why did you kidnap this student?"
