Chapter 186: Is Su Yan Going to Be Expelled Again?

Half a month later.

The ghost shadow had still not regained consciousness, but Su Yan had observed that its condition had recovered significantly; there was no longer any danger of its soul being scattered.

It had to be said that in the aspect of soul nurturing, the Ma family indeed possessed unique methods.

After half a month of living together, Su Yan's relationship with the Ma siblings had become somewhat closer.

Furthermore, there were indeed many people coming from all over to seek them out proactively.

This was also the first time Su Yan experienced the benefits brought by fame.

The three of them had to balance attending school with their work, so it was naturally impossible to attend to everything; consequently, skipping classes at school had become almost a regular occurrence.

In that half month, the three of them had only sat steadily in the classroom for a total of three days.

Zhou Fang looked at those last two empty seats; his reaction went from initial fury to later suppression, and finally, unable to take it anymore, he went directly to find the principal.

Li Weimin was equally troubled. Aside from Zhou Fang, Ma Chulan's homeroom teacher had also come by, and was equally furious.

The attitudes of both men were very clear: either expel them or transfer their classes; both insisted they could not take students like this.

He understood Su Yan's family situation, but as for the Ma Chulong siblings, he did not.

This was because they had entered through heavy donations.

A few days before the start of the semester, Ma Chulong had suddenly approached him, saying he could donate a library to the school, with the sole requirement being that the siblings be allowed to study here.

Over the years, Li Weimin had worked tirelessly for the school, wanting to build a library for the students, but the project had been repeatedly delayed due to tight funding.

Now that someone had proactively offered, and only wanted to study, he chose to agree after weighing the options.

He knew nothing about the background of these two siblings, not even who was in their family.

The construction of the library was currently in full swing; if he expelled them at this time, it would likely be inappropriate.

However, these three children were being so willful that their influence on the school was truly not good.

After much deliberation, he could only turn his thoughts toward Su Yan.

Through his observations over these past days, Su Yan's mind was definitely not on her studies. Or perhaps he could talk to her father and have them withdraw her voluntarily?

Yes, that was the only way to handle it for now.

Li Weimin first found an opportunity to call Su Yan to his office, then spoke to her in a roundabout way, and finally suggested that she find time to have Su Jianguo come to the school.

Throughout the entire process, Su Yan did not show any sign of agitation or dissatisfaction.

But what Li Weimin did not expect was that the next day, the person waiting for him was not Su Jianguo, but his teacher, Wang Wenming.

"I heard you want Su Yan to drop out?"

Li Weimin was completely stunned; he couldn't fathom how his teacher would know.

"Teacher, where did you hear that?"

He had only mentioned this matter to Su Yan; could it be that Su Yan...

"Answer me first: is it true?" Wang Wenming's voice was stern.

Li Weimin could only nod. "I have no other choice. Ever since Su Yan transferred to this school, not only has she not attended a single class seriously, but she also frequently skips school. Take this semester for example; from the start of school until now, she has only come to school for three days. Now, the teachers and students all have great grievances against her. I feel that if she is unwilling to attend school, there is no need to force her."

As Wang Wenming listened to him, his expression grew increasingly grim, and finally, he slapped him on the head.

"Even if that girl doesn't come to class for a single day, she must remain a student of Xinghua."

Li Weimin's face fell in a look of misery, truly unable to understand. "Teacher, I know you value her. But why?"

He needed a reason.

Wang Wenming let out a heavy sigh. "You only know that Su Yan skips class, but you don't know what she goes to do when she skips."

Li Weimin visibly froze. "Teacher, do you... know?"

He indeed hadn't asked Su Yan, but children skipping class were usually just out playing.

Wang Wenming actually hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his voice.

It was the first time Li Weimin had seen his teacher like this, so he pricked up his ears to listen.

When he heard Wang Wenming describe what Su Yan was doing, he froze for a full minute before letting out a "pfft" of laughter.

"Teacher, even if you want to find an excuse for that child, you should find a more decent one, shouldn't you?"

What, going to exorcise evil spirits?

Why didn't the teacher say Su Yan was going to save the Earth?

Wang Wenming was so angered by this reaction that his mustache practically bristled, and he delivered another slap.

"When have I ever joked with you?"

Li Weimin saw stars from the blow, but he also realized Wang Wenming was serious.

"Teacher, don't you always disbelieve in such things? Did Su Yan brainwash you?"

That was the only possibility.

"I, your teacher, am not senile yet, and besides, I have experienced it personally. Weimin, there are indeed some things where our perspectives are too narrow. However, what I am telling you today is only between you and me; you must not leak it to anyone else, understood?" Wang Wenming instructed solemnly.

Li Weimin had to take it seriously. "Teacher, is it all true?"

Wang Wenming nodded. "It is true. What Su Yan does is to eliminate harm for the people, and her abilities are absolutely limitless. Keeping her at Xinghua is the correct choice. Besides, didn't you say before that Su Yan is actually quite excellent in her studies? You say she doesn't attend class seriously, but perhaps it's simply because she no longer needs to."

That last sentence made Li Weimin's heart tremble.

Does "no longer needing to" mean that Su Yan has already mastered all the knowledge taught in school?

If it had been just a moment ago, he would have certainly thought Wang Wenming was exaggerating, but now that even things like Su Yan slaying demons could happen, what else was impossible?

After personally seeing Wang Wenming off, he immediately called Zhou Fang over.

***

The Classroom.

Ma Chulong held his mathematics book, looking troubled.

It clearly looked like he recognized the material, so why was it that once the teacher explained it, he couldn't understand a single word?

As a member of the Ma family, who valued strength above all else, he could never allow himself to have any weaknesses.

"Su Yan, did the principal criticize you in the office yesterday?"

A male student sitting in the front row suddenly turned around and blurted out the question.

Su Yan did not answer; her silence served as an answer.

Ma Chulong was astonished. "Why did the principal criticize you?"

Before Su Yan could speak, the male student immediately beat her to it. "It's obviously because you guys have skipped too many classes lately. Teacher Zhou lost his temper."

"How do you know so clearly?" Ma Chulong frowned.

He knew skipping class was wrong, but they were all out doing legitimate business.

The male student chuckled. "I happened to hear it just now when I went to the office to hand in my homework. Teacher Zhou was chatting with another teacher. They said Su Yan is going to be expelled."

With a loud "bang," Ma Chulong's palm slammed directly onto the desk, and a crack actually appeared on the tabletop.

The male student's expression instantly collapsed, his eyes filled with terror.

He had actually cracked a desk with a single slap?
