Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Framed

Thief?

And he attacked someone too?

Principal Zhang was shocked when he heard Yao Jianshu’s words, immediately backing behind the security guards and warily looking at Ye Fei.

As the principal, there was no way he knew every student in the school, especially someone like Ye Fei, who ordinarily didn’t stand out.

Naturally, he believed Yao Jianshu’s words right away.

Seeing this, Yao Jianshu’s face twisted into a sinister expression.

He had bet on Principal Zhang not recognizing Ye Fei!

With Ye Fei here, if Yao Jianshu were to admit that Ye Fei was a student at Yuntian University, the presence of the large group of media reporters and Shao Bing would definitely impact the school’s reputation.

In that case, Principal Zhang would still blame him in the end.

But if he insisted that Ye Fei wasn’t a student here and was simply a petty thief, then everything would be much easier!

This way, it wouldn’t affect the school’s reputation in any way. And even if Principal Zhang learned of the truth later, he’d simply commend Yao Jianshu’s quick thinking, rather than blaming him.

After all, between the reputation of the entire school and this one impoverished student, Principal Zhang certainly knew which was more important!

Meanwhile, Xiao Ge and Wang Cai had also caught on to Yao Jianshu’s insinuation and immediately fumed with righteous indignation.

"That’s right! This kid’s a thief. We’ve caught him several times before but couldn’t get hold of him. This time, he’s finally been nabbed!"

"Exactly! This punk stole my phone last time. If he hadn’t run so fast, I’d have definitely caught him and beaten him half to death!"

"This guy doesn’t just steal money and phones; he even likes sneaking into girls’ dormitories to steal underwear. We, as members of the student association under the wise leadership of Xiao Ge, patrolled for many days before finally catching him!"

Hearing his name mentioned, Xiao Ge smiled and said, "Catching this thief is all thanks to everyone’s efforts. Hehe, Ye Fei, don’t bother denying it. Thieves never admit they’re thieves. Just go with the security guards to the police station and confess!"

The barrage of accusations from everyone, finalized by Xiao Ge’s authoritative statement, left Ye Fei with no opportunity to defend himself, sealing his fate as a thief.

Yet standing at the center of everyone’s attention, Ye Fei remained calm and composed, showing not the slightest hint of panic as he looked at Yao Jianshu.

"What... what are you staring at?"

Though Yao Jianshu was curious as to why Ye Fei didn’t argue or explain himself, being stared at by him made him feel guilty. He instinctively stepped back and said, "Se... security, hurry up and arrest this thief and take him to the police station. Hmph! Let’s see if he dares to steal from our school again!"

The security guards, acting on Yao Jianshu’s orders, began to surround Ye Fei and were about to make their move.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Shao Bing finally reacted and quickly stepped forward to intervene.

Because he had already recognized Ye Fei.

How could someone like Ye Fei, a senior figure among cultivators, possibly be a thief? It was outright absurd!

But before Shao Bing could speak, Principal Zhang, with an apologetic expression, said, "Mr. Shao, I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t expect such an incident to happen at the school. Don’t worry, I’ll have this dealt with immediately. The lecture will proceed as planned and won’t be delayed!"

"Exactly! Mr. Shao, Principal Zhang, why don’t you head to the multimedia classroom to prepare for the lecture? I’ll have the security guards drag out this little punk who steals. Rest assured, I’ll make sure he faces the punishment he deserves!" Yao Jianshu said with a fawning smile.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ge and Wang Cai both wore mocking smiles as they looked at Ye Fei.

They gleefully thought, "Surely, Ye Fei won’t get out of this one alive now."

"Ye Fei! Earlier, you dared to tell me to get lost! Well, look at you now—you’re finally getting your comeuppance! Hmph! I’m the top student in the medical college. Do you really think you’re on my level?"

As Xiao Ge thought this, he immediately stepped forward, volunteering to help the security guards escort Ye Fei to the police station.

Smack!

Just as Xiao Ge’s smile began to stretch across his face.

He suddenly saw Shao Bing swing his hand and deliver a slap directly to Yao Jianshu’s face, spinning him on the spot three times.

Principal Zhang was scared stiff by the scene and hurriedly asked in confusion, "Mr... Mr. Shao, what are you doing?"

Shao Bing glared at Principal Zhang and then, in full view of everyone, respectfully approached Ye Fei, bowed, and said, "Teacher, I deeply regret that you had to suffer this kind of slander from small-minded people. Forgive me, for I am ashamed!"

"No harm done," Ye Fei, seemingly expecting Shao Bing’s intervention, responded with a calm nod.

Ye Fei remained indifferent, but the others around him were completely stunned!

Teacher?

What was going on?

The nationally-renowned expert, a rising star in medical circles, the new leading figure overshadowing senior authorities, a Vice President of the National Medical Association, and the current director of Yuntian City’s First Hospital—Shao Bing—was calling Ye Fei teacher?

Was this some sort of dream? Or had the sun started rising in the west?

After what felt like an eternity, Principal Zhang was the first to snap out of his shock. Still bewildered, he asked Shao Bing, "Mr. Shao, are you joking?"

"Joking? Do I look like I’m joking to you?"

Shao Bing was seething with anger at these people, especially Principal Zhang!

Who was Ye Fei?

He was the senior figure who, in an instant, modified Shao Bing’s Lifebound Technique, bringing him immeasurable benefits!

If, during the moment Ye Fei had used the Soul Capturing Technique, Shao Bing had felt even the faintest trace of resentment, now all he felt was unreserved gratitude!

He understood that someone like Ye Fei, whose casual guidance had propelled his cultivation to new heights, was a senior practitioner capable of leading him to the Tao and ultimately fulfilling his lifelong aspirations!

So seeing Ye Fei being slandered as a thief by these people, Shao Bing could barely contain his fury!

Principal Zhang, seeing Shao Bing’s serious demeanor, still found it hard to believe. He stammered, "But... but his age... how could he be your teacher?"

"In pursuit of knowledge, age does not matter. The virtuous teacher surpasses me greatly—why can’t he be my teacher?"

Saying that, Shao Bing swept his gaze across the faces of Principal Zhang and the others and coldly said, "You dare, in my presence, to slander my teacher as a thief? How outrageous!"

Principal Zhang, seeing how truly enraged Shao Bing was, turned his attention to the bewildered and panicked Yao Jianshu, who was still clutching his face.

With no other choice, Yao Jianshu gritted his teeth and said, "I didn’t slander him! Ye Fei... he really is a thief!"

"You!" Shao Bing yelled angrily, raising his hand to strike again.

In defending the honor of someone he revered as a mentor, Shao Bing wasn’t even concerned about publicly exposing his identity as a cultivator.

But just then, Ye Fei reached out and stopped him, saying, "Enough. There’s no need for anger. This place is too noisy. Let’s go."

"But..."

Shao Bing hesitated, his reluctance clear.

However, as he looked into Ye Fei’s eyes, he didn’t dare disobey. He nodded and followed.

Just as Ye Fei was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and smiled, saying, "Director Yao, and student Xiao Ge—you accuse me of being a thief and even know my name, Ye Fei. Are we that well-acquainted?"

Swoosh!

In an instant, the faces of Yao Jianshu and Xiao Ge turned pale.

Ye Fei simply smiled faintly and walked away.

As for Principal Zhang, he finally snapped out of it, his anger exploding as he yelled, "Yao Jianshu, Xiao Ge!!!"
