There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Ok."

"..."

"..."

After walking a few steps without hearing Ye Shan speak, Li Nian asked in confusion: "...Are you here to see me?"

"Oh, sorry, just trying to figure out how to start this."

Ye Shan didn't rush to speak afterwards because he was slightly frightened by Li Nian's previous behavior and the information that this person was actually an exorcist. He felt that he couldn't see clearly what kind of person Li Nian was. Looking at his calm expression, it seemed that there was another side behind him. This made Ye Shan feel that he should be careful with his words and actions and was brewing his words.

But Li Nian didn't want to enjoy some quiet time with a boy he didn't know very well. This silence only made him feel uncomfortable, so he simply spoke first: "I'm sorry for what happened before."

"Ah? What?" Ye Shan hadn't yet reacted to what he was referring to.

"You were stopped in your tracks by my words because I thought your intervention would cause trouble, and I cast a spell on you. It must be uncomfortable to have your body immobilized?"

Ye Shan recalled the feeling of being unable to move at that time, as if his body was not his own and his hands and feet could not respond to his will. That feeling was indeed very uncomfortable.

Ye Shan smiled and said, "It's okay. I think this experience is quite novel... But regarding the spells, Li Nian, are you admitting that you are an exorcist?"

"You are such a smart person, you have already seen it, what else can I hide? Please keep it a secret for me in the future."

Li Nian casually asked him to keep it a secret, but in fact, she didn't really expect him to keep it a secret. She already had the attitude that she didn't care whether Ye Shan told others about it or not.

But Ye Shan thought about it and asked, "What if I don't keep it a secret?"

Li Nian heard something behind his words, and finally glanced at him, smiling and saying, "Then I'll kill you?"

Actually, he was joking, but it seemed that he underestimated the dangerous impression he left on bystanders during the recent turmoil. This sentence really scared Ye Shan and he stopped for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Nian waved his hands speechlessly: "It was just a joke, why did you take it seriously? Just say what you want to say, I won't do anything."

Ye Shan laughed dryly: "The exorcist makes such a joke, ordinary people like us can't stand it. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

Even though he said it didn't matter, Ye Shan still deliberately asked to keep it a secret. Maybe he felt that he was being sarcastic or took the threat seriously. Li Nian felt both amused and helpless at this point, but didn't deliberately correct him.

It's not that Li Nian cannot understand Ye Shan. He knows that Ye Shan is not familiar with him and cannot see his character clearly. In this case, when contacting a dangerous person, he should be as cautious as Ye Shan... No, the correct approach is not to take the initiative to contact him in the beginning.

Li Nian asked curiously, "So you were frozen in place by my words. You knew I was an exorcist, and after seeing how I treated Sagami just now, you thought I was dangerous, and you came up to me and said something provocative. Others usually call it asking for trouble. What exactly do you want to say after going this far? I suggest you just say it directly, instead of being so complicated and making a riddle that people can't quite understand."

Ye Shan smiled bitterly. It was true that he was concerned about Li Nian and was thinking about how to express some things to him in a roundabout way. However, since he was told to this point, it was clear that he should speak frankly, so Ye Shan simply stopped thinking too much about it.

He straightened his expression and spoke seriously.

"Because I sincerely feel that you, Li Nian, shouldn't have treated Sagami like that. Violence is wrong."

Li Nian sighed: "...After the fifth watch, it's Ye Shan who's going to lecture me? I really don't want to hear that."

But even though Li Nian showed that he didn't want to mention this matter, Ye Shan still didn't back down.

"Then I have to say sorry first, that's what I wanted to talk about."

"...Ye Shan, you are the type who likes to impose your own views on right and wrong on others?"

"It's true that I want to talk about this, but I don't intend to impose my ideas on anyone. I just came to negotiate with you, Li Nian. I don't want this to happen again in the class."

"Wow?" Li Nian became interested and looked at him: "You want to restrain me? Do you dare to restrain me? Aren't you afraid that I, a thug, will get angry and kick you away?"

"Like when you kicked the third-year senior away? I'm really scared. It really hurts when you get kicked in the stomach."

"So you don't doubt that I would do this, and you dare to say such offensive words to me?"

"I know if you really thought that, Li Nian, I would have been kicked out long ago." Ye Shan became more confident and calmer, smiling: "The fact that you can talk to me until now shows that you are a reasonable person, Li Nian. You don't look angry, and you don't seem to hate me. So there is room for discussion."

As Ye Shan chatted with Li Nian, he gradually understood Li Nian's character. It was just as he said. If Li Nian was too lazy to talk about anything at the beginning, he would not have paid any attention to Ye Shan and would have sent him away with just a few words.

The fact is just as Ye Shan said, Li Nian doesn't hate him. In fact, she likes Ye Shan very much. He is a gentle, smart, kind person with a handsome face. There is a reason why he is at the top of the high school male live-action group.

Wu Geng has always wanted to blast this guy and has no good impression of Ye Shan, but how can ordinary people hate such a guy? Li Nian is no exception. He even thinks that Ye Shan is quite amazing. There is really no flaw in such a boy. He is a very good guy.

Li Nian would kick away any fool he disliked, and would also crush any villain he hated without hesitation, but he was always calm and respectful towards good people.

"Hehe... As expected of Ye Shan, you are good at reading people's faces. It seems like you can almost see through me."

"Student Li Nian, your expression is too clear. You don't hide anything you're thinking. Is it because you don't bother to hide it?"

"I'm not as arrogant as you say, I just feel that it's much more comfortable to live honestly."

Ye Shan was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking of. He chewed on these words and looked at Li Nian seriously, revealing a thoughtful expression: "Living frankly...what an enviable attitude."

Anyone can say this, but who has actually done it? This is the first time Ye Shan has seen someone like Li Nian. It is precisely because he actually did it that he finds it particularly convincing.

Li Nian himself didn't care and said with a smile: "How dare I be envied by the head of the live-action group in the class? You only see that straight men live comfortably, but you don't see that straight men can't find girlfriends."

Hearing Li Nian's joke, Ye Shan could only smile bitterly: "I don't have a girlfriend either."

Li Nian was really shocked: "Oh, no? Ye Shan, you? I see Sanpu..."

"She and I don't have that kind of relationship." Ye Shan said firmly.

"Oh oh..." Li Nian knew that he had said something wrong, so he shrugged his shoulders and didn't want to gossip any further: "Then let's get back to the point. You can rest assured about what you just said. I don't want to do such a boring thing for the second time. If Sagami doesn't cause trouble, I won't touch her."

At the moment, Li Nian thought that Ye Shan said this simply because he wanted to protect Sagami. This was something Ye Shan had reminded him of before. He might be worried that Li Nian would retaliate further. But that was something Li Nian was too lazy to do, so he was willing to follow his wishes and agree to it.

"I'm not talking about Sagami-san." Ye Shan actually shook his head: "I know that you, Li Nian, are a proud person. You probably won't bother to take it out on Sagami anymore. I guess Sagami won't dare to cause trouble for Gogen-san anymore."

"…What did you say?"

"I hope that it's not just Sagami-san. In the future, Li Nian-san, please don't do this to anyone in the class. If you can negotiate like we are chatting, I think there will be no conflicts that cannot be resolved."

It turned out that he was here to persuade me to put down my butcher knife. Li Nian smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's indeed the case. Various rules in contemporary society restrict people from using violence, otherwise they will end up in jail. Talking nicely can solve most problems. It's reasonable to do so."

Ye Shan thought Li Nian agreed and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you think so. This is all I want to convey. Thank God that you can listen to me, Li Nian."

"I listened to you and I agree with your logic, but I have to tell you that I will still do the same thing if I encounter such a situation in the future. What you want to say is the same as what Gogen wants to say. How I answered Gogen before is what I mean now."

Ye Shan was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"The way we deal with things and the way we think are not in the same line. You don't need to convince me, and I won't change my behavior because of someone's words." Having already arrived at the cafeteria, Li Nian walked to the window and casually ordered them to leave: "Hurry up and go back to class, there's still time."

Li Nian felt that she understood Ye Shan's meaning well enough and thought that the ideas of both parties were parallel and there was no need to talk about anything further.

Li Nian hummed a little tune and went to the cafeteria window to order something. Everyone thought he looked familiar and had an impression of this young man with a huge appetite. The lady said something like young people should eat more to grow bigger, and kindly gave him some more side dishes.

"Thank you." Li Nian took the fully loaded plate, turned around and saw Ye Shan still sitting in the same place. He was stunned and smacked his lips slightly. He still took an extra bottle of green tea, paid the bill, and walked over to throw it to Ye Shan: "You are being a bit nagging, I will really get angry, didn't you say that you won't impose your ideas on others?"

Ye Shan took the drink and said directly, "I still hope that you, Li Nian, won't do this kind of thing... The condition is that I will help deal with similar situations. I am confident that I can resolve many conflicts if I step in. For example, this time I should have stopped Sagami when she was causing trouble for Gogen, so that you wouldn't have to intervene."

This is because he knows he cannot convince himself, so he negotiates with conditions.

Just to beg Li Nian not to hurt anyone again like he did to Sagami this time?

"I don't doubt that you have the ability, Ye Shan, but why did you do this?" Li Nian already felt strange: "You are not right, Ye Shan, very wrong, you are too philanthropic, are you the kind of saint who can't bear to see anyone get hurt?"

Ye Shan was silent for a while before answering, "I'm not that great, but I personally really don't want the atmosphere in the class to become too bad."

Li Nian thought about what Ye Shan had done. He was indeed always working hard for the "atmosphere" and maintaining the overall harmony. He was also fair and did not discriminate. For example, regarding the matter of Wu Geng today, Li Nian knew that before he took action, Ye Shan wanted to take action to help Wu Geng.

Li Nian roughly understood why Ye Shan insisted that he stop doing similar things.

"Well, start your work, you are too lazy to look at the so-called air."

Li Nian also realized that he had become a little careless recently, including when he was trying to control Sagami today. He didn't bother to care about the opinions of people around him. If Wu Geng hadn't stopped him, he would have shown his vicious side and made Sagami [die] once, and by then, it would have probably turned into a tragic situation that would have tainted the atmosphere in the class.

At least Sagami should be allowed to take a leave of absence from school. If he looks up and down, he will see an empty seat everywhere, which must be very strange.

"So I sincerely hope that Li Nian, you will not do this again."

Li Nian did not answer, but asked: "Your obsession is also very strange. Others prioritize protecting themselves, but you insist on protecting everyone? For the sake of that air, you are willing to take the risk to convince a vicious person like me?"

"..."

"Oh, it does have a face that tells a story... But if you don't want to tell it, forget it."

"...If it's Li Nian, there's nothing to hide." Ye Shan said with a dejected expression, "I... had a friend in elementary school who I failed to protect, and she was... isolated by everyone in the class. Thinking about that atmosphere makes me sick... I just don't want to see her again."

Li Nian looked at him with slightly wide eyes, and said thoughtfully: "I see."

Ye Shan laughed at himself and said, "I obviously failed to protect the person I was protecting at that time, but now that it is useless, I am full of kindness and want to protect other people I see. I also know that this is just selfishness, a kind of self-consolation. It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

"There's nothing to laugh at. This is really remarkable." Li Nian nodded and said, "The idea of ​​wanting to protect someone is a good one in itself. It's even more noble when the target is someone you don't know well. If you take further action and are willing to take risks, no one will have the right to look down on you."

Ye Shan didn't expect Li Nian to say that. He looked at him in silence. It was embarrassing to be praised like this, but when it came from Li Nian's mouth, he could feel a sense of recognition, which made Ye Shan accept it calmly.

"Okay, for your sake, I'm willing to give in a little bit." Li Nian said, "I can't guarantee that I won't do anything, but I can promise you that I will consider the impact of my actions on the people around me before I do anything, and help you maintain that so-called atmosphere."

Ye Shan smiled and nodded, knowing that by letting Li Nian say this and making him think more about it, he had almost prevented similar situations from happening again. He was very satisfied with this: "Thank you for your understanding."

"It's just that I can't help but say something." Li Nian broke the chopsticks apart. "You failed to protect the people you wanted to protect, probably because you were too concerned about other people's opinions. If the evil people are worth communicating with and can be explained clearly, they are not evil. I believe that those who are selfish and do evil should be defeated with thunder and lightning. Here I will give you a sentence - how to repay evil with good? You should repay evil with good. Ye Shan, you can think about it."

Ye Shan was silent.

Ye Shan is not a saint. He can get angry and lose his temper. When someone he cares about is hurt, he becomes so angry that he wants to knock the offender to the ground.

If only...

But there is no if.

"I'll think about it."

After saying this, Ye Shan left on his own without waiting for Li Nian to see him off.

Chapter 316: A Little Aftermath

Li Nian ignored the already rung bell for class, and ate leisurely and comfortably in the large, empty and quiet cafeteria. He still remembered the errands asked by Gogeng and Kato, and took their portions back.

After returning to the classroom, it was exactly time for the get out of class to end... No, in fact, Li Nian deliberately took a long break and came back on time.

Ignoring the gazes that were even more intense than before and the whispers about herself, she threw the things to Kato and Goko.

Kato was a little surprised. He thought Li Nian had forgotten what happened at noon. She had played games all night and didn't have a good breakfast. She didn't eat anything at noon, so she was hungry for a long time. She ate very voraciously, with a happy expression on her face. She said vaguely, "Thank you for being saved."

"You're so quick to bring the things." Wu Geng had no gratitude at all. He took the things and continued to make sarcastic remarks.

"Don't say that. I forgot to bring my wallet. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have come back and caught up with this drama. I can't play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

"Then I have to thank you and reluctantly give you a 1 in favorability?"

"It doesn't matter. Your favorability isn't worth much anyway."

"Hmph... don't regret it. Sooner or later, I will become a beautiful woman with curvy figure."

"Now I really regret not buying you a peach."

Li Nian sat down and teased Wu Geng, but what he was thinking about was the "air" that Ye Shan had mentioned before. He raised his eyes and glanced around.

I have to say that Li Nian's behavior has a really big impact on the air.

Even though he stopped at the right time and didn't really do anything to Sagami, the visual impact was still there when Li Nian picked up the girl as if he was going to kill her.

Even though a bunch of people here were clearly acting as usual, and actually had the same mentality as usual, their classmates looked at them with something not right in their eyes, as they felt that the impression Li Nian and Wu Geng had given them had changed dramatically.

First of all, there was Li Nian. Although there were some rumors about him circulating in the school before, Li Nian was a peaceful and friendly person in the class, and no one took those rumors seriously. Even though Li Nian had threatened some guys with a fierce attitude in order to protect Gogen who was deliberately nominated as an executive committee member by Sagami, but without taking action, people would always think that his muscles were just for show.

This is also one of the reasons why Sagami dared to ignore Li Nian's warning.

Today, Li Nian really took action, proving with his actions that he was indeed ferocious and would not hesitate to attack anyone who displeased him. It seemed that the previous rumors about his "secret cruelty" had been confirmed, making Li Nian look much more dangerous in the eyes of everyone. It could be seen from the fact that he lowered the sound of the entire space as soon as he entered the classroom that everyone was beginning to be afraid of him.

No one wants to be the next Sagami.

Li Nian was not blind. He could see what those kids were thinking. He was not really indifferent to the atmosphere. After all, he still wanted to live a peaceful high school life. There was still a long time to go, so he did not like the fearful looks those people gave him. He knew that they had extra imaginations about him. They probably imagined all kinds of vicious settings for Li Nian's background.

Li Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He is obviously a typical enthusiastic young man who thinks about how to slay demons and uphold justice every day. He considers himself a good man with a clear conscience. It's fine if he is not loved or respected, but there is no reason for him to be feared as some evil force.

Li Nian sighed that the public was so blind, but he didn't take it too seriously. He believed that time would prove everything, and imagination and prejudice would inevitably be washed away. So he didn't care anymore and continued to take out his wordless black book and read it.

In fact, Wu Geng is more impressive than Li Nian. It is true that Li Nian is feared by everyone, but Wu Geng's actions have won respect. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as a unilateral victim, she stopped Li Nian from further violence, but did not forgive Sagami. The slap she gave was fair and square, which made her seem upright and resolute.

For example, Miura feels that Gogen becomes more and more pleasing to the eye.

However, Hayato was more pleasing to the eye when he was not smiling beside her. Of course, the precious break time had to be used to chat with Hayato. Miura smiled and was about to find Hayama, but saw that he was staring at Li Nian in a daze.

Miura suddenly felt dissatisfied.

It was not the first time, but many times. Seeing Ye Shan glanced over there while chatting, Miura always felt that her Hayato-kun was paying too much attention to Li Nian and the others recently.

The same goes for Yui, who always likes to talk about Li Nian. I really don’t know what’s good about such a rude man, who takes away the attention of her two best friends.

Miura spoke up, and asked, "Hayato, what did you say to that guy just now?"

That guy was referring to Li Nian. This queen of the class always spoke in a less polite tone when she mentioned Li Nian.
