The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

Su Ziye's eyebrows shot up.

"What happened?"

"Here's the thing, today's baptisms happened to clash with those of the elite class. Because there were too many people, the head of student affairs said we'd have to draw lots to determine the order. Zhang Fengmian was third in line, but those guys from the elite class are being unruly and insist that we wait until they've finished their baptisms before we can go in!"

They said their time was precious and they couldn't let the regular classes waste it.

"Zhang Fengmian was furious and went up to argue with them, then got beaten up!"

Chen Yingying's hands were clenched together, turning bright red, and she looked extremely angry.

"Teacher Xu Lu is there too."

"take me."

Su Ziye spoke up.

"Teacher Xu Lu is really something. She doesn't help us, and neither does the head of the teaching department... Why does everyone favor the students in the elite class?"

Su Ziye walked quickly ahead, and Chen Yingying said somewhat unwillingly.

"I don't know the situation with the head of student affairs, but even if Ms. Xu Lu wanted to help, she couldn't."

Why?

Chen Yingying's eyes widened, somewhat puzzled. Su Ziye was clearly not present, yet he seemed to know everything perfectly well.

"So how do you want Teacher Xu Lu to help you? By beating up the students in the elite class? If a teacher gets involved in a conflict between students, things won't end so well."

"It's not that she doesn't want to help, it's that she's willing but unable. Sometimes, we just have to solve these things ourselves."

"Then...how should we solve this? We definitely can't beat the students in the elite class!"

"You're right, that's why I came."

Su Ziye quickened her pace even further.

"You... Su Ziye, don't be impulsive! They're in the elite class; their families have connections..."

Chen Yingying said with some fear that when faced with such a situation, students' first reaction is to seek help from teachers or powerful figures. However, if these teachers or powerful figures cannot help, they will panic and become afraid.

But he knew that he could only solve this kind of trouble himself; relying on others was unreliable.

When Su Ziye arrived, she could see a group of people gathered there from afar.

Zhang Fengmian stood to one side, his school uniform collar torn askew, a red mark on his left cheek, his cheek swollen, and his lip cut and bleeding.

Opposite him was a group of unruly students from the elite class, with the head teacher standing in the middle, looking troubled.

Several students in the elite class were eager to try and even wanted to push their luck, but Xu Lu protected Zhang Fengmian like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Su Ziye walked over and tossed the already packed schoolbag to the other person.

"Pack yourself up, Uncle Zhang will worry if he sees you like this when we get home."

"Midnight..."

Zhang Fengmian felt a little bitter. He clenched his fist and then relaxed it.

"I'm sorry, Su Ziye, I failed to protect him. Things happened too fast, I didn't have time to react..."

Xu Lu looked apologetic. Originally, the two sides were just arguing, and she had already tried her best to dissuade them.

No one expected that the students in the elite class would be so unscrupulous, actually grabbing Zhang Fengmian by the collar in front of the teacher and slapping him hard across the face.

The speed was so fast that even Xu Lu, as a servant of the gods, couldn't react in time.

She instinctively wanted to retaliate, but the head of the teaching department stopped her.

"It's alright, Ms. Xu, it's not your fault."

Being a homeroom teacher is one thing, but as a teacher, she also has to consider her position. She can't really beat up a student, can she? Besides... Su Ziye always felt that if Xu Lu went too far... it would be too lenient.

This anger isn't enough to vent!

"Midnight, let it go... I was too impulsive."

Zhang Fengmian reassured him.

He had acted rashly in the heat of the moment without considering the consequences. Now that he's calmed down, he realizes that if they continue to cause trouble, they'll be the ones who suffer. The school's attitude is also biased towards the elite classes; otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed to act so recklessly.

"Does it hurt?"

Su Ziye didn't answer, but instead reached out and poked his wound.

Zhang Fengmian winced in pain, but still stubbornly shook his head.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a superficial wound. Let's go back."

"Who hit him?"

"It's nothing, Midnight. It's just a minor injury. I'm tough and resilient."

"Teacher Xu, who hit him?"

Xu Lu hesitated for a moment, then finally raised her finger and pointed at a young man with a red buzz cut across from her.

"Su Ziye, both sides are at fault in this matter. We're all classmates; there's no need to make a scene like this!"

The head of the teaching department stepped forward, trying to act as a peacemaker.

"If Zhang Fengmian cut in line and spoke recklessly, then I wouldn't say a word about him being beaten. But teacher... this is such a big school as Qingye, shouldn't we be reasonable?!"

"Can you handle this? If not, then I'll handle it myself!"

Su Ziye's attitude was extremely firm. If he could tolerate this, he would be a purebred turtle-man of the highest caliber.

The head of the teaching department felt a headache coming on.

"What do you want me to do?"

"According to school rules, assault results in expulsion!"

Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter erupted from the noble class opposite.

"Hahaha! Expelled! Did you hear what he said? He said expelled!"

"Liu Yi, did you hear that?! That country bumpkin from the regular class wants you expelled from school!"

"I'm so sorry! To hear such jokes from a lowly person right before the college entrance exam!"

The man who hit the other, Liu Yi, the young man with the buzz cut, also had a disdainful smile on his face.

"Don't make things difficult for the director. Fire me? You're the one who should be fired."

"Didn't you just say you were going to handle it yourself? How do you plan to handle it? I just slapped his left cheek with this hand. Do you want him to offer his right cheek so I can slap him too?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The students in the elite class burst into laughter again.

"Alright, Liu Yi, stop wasting time and hurry up and get baptized! This poor bastard is just trying to extort some money. Just give him some, consider it giving alms to a beggar!"

Someone said it again.

"That makes sense."

Liu Yi glanced at Zhang Fengmian, then said.

"Remember this, you lowly wretch: if I hit you, I only need to pay you some money. But if you dare hit me, your parents will have to kneel on the ground and beg me!"

Whoa!

He raised his hand and flicked it, sending a stack of banknotes flying everywhere and falling down. That stack of money was a full ten thousand!

An ordinary family couldn't earn 10,000 yuan even if they didn't eat or drink for a month, and Su Ziye couldn't raise 10,000 yuan no matter what she tried!

Zhang Fengmian's father worked in the wind and rain for a month, and only earned 10,000 yuan after getting covered in dust and dirt!

A man with money is a hero, a man without money is just a nobody!

For the first time, Zhang Fengmian experienced firsthand what class disparity truly meant!

Ten thousand dollars... it's like a mountain, it can flatten everything. Ten thousand dollars for a slap... it's worth it!

If 10,000 yuan can buy his father a month of ease, what does it matter if he bows his head?

If you don't have the ability, then you can only endure it, right?

His gaze fell on the banknotes on the ground, and then he slowly squatted down!

Just then!

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out!

All they saw was a figure flying straight out!

The students in the elite class stared wide-eyed!

Even Shen Jinchen, who had always stood behind others and not interfered, showed surprise at this moment.

"If the school won't handle it, then I'll handle it my way!"

"You've taken this slap!"
