CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 888: QI DE ACADEMY (PART 6)

The original owner’s parents, Cheng Lisu and Su Shwei, were also anxiously fiddling with the phone.

They were trying to call their good son-in-law, Cong Yang, but the line was continuously busy.

The same situation was happening with the Xiang Family’s parents.

The four parents exchanged surprised glances, all recognizing the same signal in each other’s eyes: the signal here was blocked, and all calls couldn’t go through.

Xiang Xuebin, not convinced by this, asked to borrow the phone from the Liu Family’s parents.

His actions startled Skinny Liu Junyi’s parents, prompting Mr. Liu to hand over the phone, and Mrs. Liu frantically began dialing.

But their efforts were futile.

Cheng Lisu, accustomed to commanding her daughter, unceremoniously shouted up at Su Li on the second floor when the call couldn’t go through: "What are you trying to do? You’re in your twenties, why are you always so disobedient? Do you know how much sadness and anger you’re causing me?"

Su Li replied, "I know."

"But do you know that some of the inappropriate behaviors from you parents also bring us sadness and anger?"

Su Li’s words immediately triggered a backlash from all the parents below.

"He dares, I’m his father, he must listen to me. I gave him life, does he dare defy me?"

"What parent doesn’t act for their child’s good? Can we harm him? Why can’t he understand our good intentions?"

"Without pushing a child, they won’t achieve anything. When they grow up and become parents themselves, they’ll understand us...."

"We gave birth to her, raised her, gave her life, and she dares to hold a grudge against us, isn’t she afraid of divine retribution?"

"There’s no such thing as a wrong parent, only ungrateful children...."

The parents argued back and forth, summarizing it as: We are not wrong, everything is for the child’s good, if you don’t understand, that’s your fault, and you deserve a lesson....

How terrifying these people are....

Children didn’t choose to come to this world, yet they are seen as private property, to be molded at will.

They preached tirelessly below, while the children on the second floor watched them expressionlessly, and the last bit of patience in all the parents’ hearts was beginning to run out.

Those with fiery tempers, like Jie Min Country and Zhu Rouyu, had already started striding around looking for a way to the second floor.

They intended to give these ungrateful children a proper lesson.

Strangely, despite searching the entire hall, the room felt like a seamless circle, with no doors, no windows, and no pathways.

No entrances, no exits.

This naturally raised doubts in the minds of everyone, wondering how this group of children managed it.

Cheng Lisu looked at the two chairs in front of her and muttered, "Someone came down just now."

Others noticed it too, and everyone felt emboldened, probing the smooth walls for quite a while.

There still wasn’t the slightest trace.

At this moment, the oddities they subconsciously ignored could no longer be avoided.

Like where this place was, who built it, and if anyone noticed their disappearance?

In their understanding of the children, this was certainly beyond their capabilities.

Cheng Lisu was the first to ask, "Su Li, what do you want to do?"

It seemed to her that the others vaguely took cues from her daughter.

Others noticed it too, leading to doubt and suspicion: Had she instigated the other children? After all, she was the only one who could be considered a true adult.

Su Li, with a group of kids, coldly watched the adults below filled with mutual suspicion.

She regretfully announced, "Sorry, your performance on the entrance test was really terrible, so the days ahead for you might not be so great."

"What do you mean?"

Jie Xifang cheekily chimed in, "You are too disappointing, after our collective evaluation, your test results are unsatisfactory."

"Ahead, you will undergo a series of training and learning sessions. These will teach you how to be good parents, what qualified parents should do, and some pitfalls to avoid."

"On the first of every month, we will have a test, and each learning phase will continue until your evaluation results are satisfactory, allowing you to advance to the next phase."

"When your evaluation results are excellent, that’ll be your graduation day from Qi De Academy, so.... everyone, keep going."

After Su Li and the other children moved out of the parents’ sight, everyone still remained stunned, unable to process the large amount of information just provided.

They felt as if undergoing an absurd play - laughable and unreal.

They never thought there would be a day when someone would tell them that as unqualified parents, they needed to undergo training.

Who gave them this right? There is no such provision in the law.

Once again, Xiang Xuebin was the first to protest, perhaps due to his particularly calm mind, or maybe because of his robust physique, parents subtly leaned towards him as a leader.

This person is undoubtedly a high-intelligence, elite talent, truly excellent.

However, despite his unmatched excellence in his professional field, this doesn’t mean he can be a qualified parent.

Watching Su Li turn away coldly, Cheng Lisu became the first to experience a rapid psychological breakdown.

She was horrified to realize that her only weapon to control the other side was now ineffective, and after a more severe counterattack, she couldn’t withstand it and collapsed to the ground.

Cheng Lisu’s external toughness mirrored her inner sensitivity and fragility, otherwise, she wouldn’t need to control others to maintain her confidence and authority.

---------------

Back in their exclusive lounge, Jie Xifang and the others couldn’t help but feel excited.

For the first time, they felt the strength of the parents was just that, only able to display over weaker beings like them.

Taohua, with teary eyes, suppressed a sob and murmured, "It turns out, when they are in the same situation as us, they too feel fear, panic, and helplessness...."

Suddenly, Taohua burst into a hysterical laugh, "But aren’t we all doing this for their own good?"

Like the mantra always on the parents’ lips, hearing it from Taohua was deeply ironic.

"Since I was born, they’ve been divorced, using me as an excuse to divorce but not leave the house, under the same roof, stingily giving me a bit of parental love, and when I’m older, lamenting my coldness towards family ties.... they think I’m just a freak, nothing like the child they envisioned...."

Everyone listened quietly, none speaking a word.

Among them, whose experiences weren’t filled with those unpleasant moments.
