Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 99 Good people don't play tactics
I can't get in touch with my sister, what should I do?

In the end, they were unable to advance an inch beyond the outermost edge, as if they had encountered an invisible wall. Taking even one step deeper would burn their demonic power and soul.

"Ah, I'm pissed off!"

She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. It was almost impossible for her to get through the crowd in front of her with the woman behind her, whose head was about to fall off.

And he doesn't know any other humans he can trust.

They might kidnap or kill someone.

Think of a way, think of a way.
What did the scholar and monk teach me? Military strategy, yes, military strategy.

Luring the snake out of its hole, three men making a tiger, going with the flow, kicking someone when they're down, shifting the blame eastward—all sorts of learned knowledge were spinning rapidly in the little head.

Then a flash of inspiration struck.

As the scholar-monk once said, "Warfare is based on deception."

Since that's the case, then I'll temporarily set aside my moral principles. I'm sorry! I'm not human!

He spoke to the woman behind him.

"If you want to save your husband, don't say anything. I will definitely get you to the venue."

Ke Shaorong was completely flustered at this moment, so naturally she did whatever the great demon said.

Heaven have mercy on how shocked she was when she saw the girl turn into a monster.

What followed was another shocking event, showing her what a fairy truly was.

Suddenly, the girl in the green dress began to sob, her tears falling like raindrops, a sight that evoked pity.

Unfortunately, this place has a high concentration of scholars, so when they encounter such a good thing or a sad thing, wouldn't they go forward to check it out?

Only after inquiring did I learn that it involved the romantic affairs of a certain important figure.

"Teacher Xu of Chongqi Academy is heartless and cruel; he bullied my sister."

This shout was indeed effective. Many students from Chongqi, upon hearing it, disregarded any literary gathering and rushed over to set the record straight.

"How dare you! Who has slandered me?"

Wow, what a beautiful young lady! How could such a pure and beautiful woman lie?

"Teacher Xu has actually betrayed his heart and been unfaithful!"

Xiaoqing's description was quite detailed and detailed, including things like strolling together in the rain over West Lake and sharing their secrets under Leifeng Pagoda—the kind of story that follows a talented scholar who misleads a beautiful woman.

It must be said that Xu Xuan, this half-disciple, is extremely talented in tricking his master, and his learning ability is both strong and unorthodox, in addition to being incredibly audacious.

"If you don't believe me, you can find that faithless man's close friend to come and confront him."

He spoke with such conviction that he seemed exceptionally sincere, and as for public opinion, he would apologize afterward.

Someone decisively brought in Sanqi.

See, that solves the problem.

Xiaoqing felt that she had learned some of the essence of the scholar and the monk.

Ji Rui, who had just arrived, was somewhat bewildered, as he had been watching Zhu Erdan and Qian Qing's verbal duel.

The new students enrolled after Zhu Erdan had swept through Chongqi, so they only heard older students talk about the man's ferocity.

Today's visit confirms its overwhelming ferocity.

He was a hundred times more flamboyant and unrestrained than I was, and his knowledge was several levels higher.

Actually, towards the end, I couldn't understand much anymore. I was very grateful for Zao's simultaneous Chinese-to-Chinese translation, but even Zao couldn't keep up later on.

Upon learning of the news that Instructor Xu had been unfaithful, they rushed over to verify it.

If it really is true, then they should place the person in a secluded courtyard to help their friend cover things up.

They're all people who deserve to sit in the head seat, so there's bound to be some decorum.

Upon first meeting her, I was taken aback; what a beautiful young lady she was! Perhaps my Hanwen brother really had made a mistake.

Immediately have everyone else disperse.

The title of "Three Wonders" still has some effect; they are the three who embrace all kinds of things.

"Ahem, young lady, do you have any evidence to prove that Instructor Xu started a relationship with you and then abandoned you?"

After the scholar introduced himself, it was confirmed that he was Xu Xuan's friend, which relieved Xiao Qing.

"Ji Hanqing, is it? I've heard Xu Xuan mention you before. He said you're best at writing erotic poems, and not very good at academics."

I casually recounted some anecdotes about my classmate Ji at school.

Teacher Xu originally intended to use the fact that the academy was second to last to motivate Xiaoqing, so he said a few more words, which turned out to be very useful at this moment.

Ji Rui immediately believed most of it.

Xiaoqing didn't mince words; she would explain the accusation of being unfaithful and fickle later.

"First, get her to the main venue. I need to find Xu Xuan. Remember, make sure she gets there safely."

Ji, somewhat puzzled, wanted to ask again. The woman with the silk scarf around her neck was truly plain-looking, a far cry from the charming young girl beside her. Hanwen shouldn't be...
Zao seemed to sense something and agreed.

After all, Instructor Xu was skilled in military strategy.

The three of them escorted the mysterious woman to the main venue.

Xiaoqing stayed where she was and began to explain that it was a misunderstanding, that it wasn't Instructor Xu from Chongqi Academy, but someone else, and so on.
Everyone nodded; it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Instructor Xu was quite upright after all.

Seeing how pitifully the other person was crying, they gave a few warnings and then dispersed.

Sanqi escorted the person to the back and had someone deliver a note. Xu Xuan apologized and quietly withdrew.

I was somewhat surprised when I first saw the woman.

The head has been switched back.

"Madam Zhu, can you tell me what's wrong with your husband?"

"My husband is a bad person."

Ke Shaorong told everyone he knew.

Zhu Erdan, courtesy name Xiaoming.

Originally, he was a free-spirited person, but slow-witted by nature. Although he studied very hard, he never became famous.

But the family was harmonious, they had no shortage of money, and their life was very happy.

One day, while having drinks with some fellow writers, they jokingly went to the Ten Kings Hall late at night and carried back the statue of the judge from the left corridor.

As a result, Lu Pan came back to life and became friends with Zhu Erdan. He often came over for drinks at night, and Ke Shaorong had to help prepare the food and drinks.

This marked the beginning of the latter half of Zhu Erdan's wicked and arrogant life.

After a head transplant and a heart transplant, his studies progressed rapidly. He became a brilliant writer, learned a wide range of knowledge, and his fame spread far and wide. Dean Su invited him to pay homage to the emperor.

One day, he suddenly suggested sleeping in separate rooms, and then became increasingly arrogant and disdainful of others.

At first, Ke Shaorong thought her husband was having an affair.

This suspicion is consistent throughout history.

He suddenly stopped sleeping with his wife, started seriously studying to improve himself, and then, once he was ashore, he first cut ties with his wife who had shared his hardships.

She was then horrified to discover that there was another man inside her husband's body, which was very embarrassing.

"I thought Xiaoming was just confused for a moment, and that the bad things were done by another person inside his body."

"I only found out a few days ago that the other person is Lord Lu."

Xu Xuan felt that this woman's thought process was quite outrageous.

"Why isn't Judge Lu a bad person? Maybe he's the one who led your husband astray?"

"Lord Lu saved me when Xiaoming was about to kill me, he must be a good person."

"You were brought back from the mountains by Xiaoqing. There are many jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. Would a good person do such a thing?"

"The temple is guarded by statues of the Ten Kings, so no wild animals come near. We have also prepared enough dry food and water for several days."

"There may be a statue of the judge in the Ten Kings Temple."

"No."

Xu Xuan seemed to have figured something out, which could be considered as resolving some of the confusion.

As for whether to believe it or not, of course I don't believe it.

The existence of two souls in one body could harm a person's soul. By borrowing the fortune of Wenhua, he escaped tribulation with a golden body and returned to the world. Now, his bedmate reveals that Judge Lu is a good person.

One set after another, are you really that afraid I'll ruin your plans?
As a cult leader with a very deep disguise, Xu Jiaoxi has his own standards for judging good and bad people.

The smell of this lie is all too familiar.

It smelled as familiar as the scent of a demon desperately trying to disguise itself.

Trying to play tactics with me?
He instructed Sanqi, who had just distanced himself to avoid suspicion, to take Zhu Keshi to the outer perimeter to find Xiaoqing, and then he was about to rush back to the meeting place.

Just then, Ji Rui reached out to say something about being unfaithful and heartless, but the person had already walked away. He could only helplessly say to his good friend.

"Women, they really are women."

Xu Xuan turned back to the stage and saw Qian Zhongyu, which made him laugh. The guy was sitting to the side with a sullen face, looking like he had lost.

Also sitting in a row were Bai Lu, Qian Qing, and Zhang Hao.

The competition is a seven-person competition, with one person receiving a bye, leaving six people to advance to the next three.

That means the final four are out now.

Zhu Erdan, Lu Nan, Xie Yu, and Qiao Feng advanced without a bye.

The topic for the next round hasn't been decided yet.

The professors' main point of discussion was how to stop the arrogant student.

Xu Xuan went over and gave a few suggestions.

"What about the faults of a virtuous person, and the karmic retribution for good and evil?"

Under the suppression of Wen Hua's fortune, even ghosts and gods would find it difficult to avoid these problems.

Of course, these questions are just meant to test the other person's mind, and may not necessarily be effective.

Just then, Zhu Erdan looked over, and Xu Xuan gave him a gentle smile, saying that they would have to wait a little longer.

The water vapor from West Lake is constantly rising and condensing into dark clouds in the sky.

Someone looked up at the sky.

"It's about to rain, let's go home."

　The battle begins tomorrow, so I'll spend tonight carefully planning the fight. There's been a strong reaction to the book title, and I'm already considering whether to change it. This also needs to be discussed with the editor, so it won't be done quickly.
