Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Want To Hear The Truth

The group exchanged thoroughly helpless looks before walking over to her bench.

"Hey, Xifeng. Wake up!" Xie Lanying gently but firmly shook Bai Xifeng’s shoulder.

"This girl is really an absolute sleepyhead." Ning Shoukai commented helplessly, shaking his head with a grin. "She can seriously fall fast asleep literally anywhere, anytime."

Bai Xifeng slowly and reluctantly opened her heavy eyes. She rubbed her sleepy eyes lazily with the back of her hand before looking up at the familiar crowd of people surrounding her.

"Hmm? Lanying? What are all of you doing standing here?" Bai Xifeng asked in a hazy, sleep-addled daze.

Xie Lanying crossed her arms, looking down at her fondly.

"Do you even know where you are right now?" Xie Lanying asked back.

"Eh..." Bai Xifeng blinked, looking around the plaza in total confusion.

Only then did her brain finally register that almost every single student had already completely left the area.

"Wait, why is everyone leaving?" Bai Xifeng asked, sitting up straight. "Shouldn’t we be waiting for Principal Qiao to make his important announcement?"

"He already made it, you dork." Xie Lanying replied before reaching out and affectionately flicking Bai Xifeng’s forehead. "You comfortably slept through the entire speech!"

"What? Really?" Bai Xifeng’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief. surprised.

"Of course you did." Xie Qingge nodded, laughing softly.

"Then... what did he actually say?" Bai Xifeng asked, standing up while stretching her stiff, tired body.

"Principal Qiao officially explained everything that happened over the past three chaotic days. Well, his version of it, anyway. He also announced that the entire school will be temporarily closed for one full month for repairs, so everyone has to leave the school grounds starting tomorrow." Ning Shoukai smoothly answered.

"Really?!" Bai Xifeng’s sleepy eyes immediately brightened up like twinkling stars. "That means we can finally go home?!"

She had genuinely and deeply missed her family back home. It had been quite a long time since she had last seen them, and she could not wait to relax.

"Yes." Xie Lanying nodded with a warm smile.

"Then I should hurry right back to my room and start packing!" Bai Xifeng immediately turned around on her heel, fully intending to dash off.

However, before she could even take two full steps, both of her arms were suddenly grabbed from behind in a tight lock.

"Hmm?" Bai Xifeng looked to her left at Xie Lanying, then to her right at Xie Qingge, both of them holding her securely in place. "Eh? What on earth are you two doing?"

"You can’t just leave so easily just yet." Xie Zixin said, walking up with a very meaningful, playful smile.

"We still want to know what really happened inside your division during those three days," Xie Yanlin added, crossing his arms.

Bai Xifeng fell completely silent, staring at their determined faces. After a brief, quiet moment, she finally understood. These smart people had not completely and blindly believed Principal Qiao Wenhao’s simplified, official explanation.

"You people really aren’t easy to fool, are you?" Bai Xifeng let out a long, helpless sigh.

"The core incident happened directly in your private division. There is absolutely no way something like that happened without involving you somehow." Xie Lanying smirked proudly, tossing her hair.

"Fine... Fine..." Bai Xifeng surrendered completely, raising both of her hands in the air. "Let me go. Let’s go back to my private courtyard first. We obviously can’t talk about secret, high-level stuff like this out in the open where anyone can eavesdrop."

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement and followed Bai Xifeng back towards the Inscriber Division. When they entered the serene division grounds, they saw Ji Yuan sitting peacefully in the stone gazebo as usual, sipping his tea. The group immediately cupped their hands respectfully toward the teacher.

"Greetings, Teacher Ji." Everyone greeted Ji Yuan.

"Hmm..." Ji Yuan responded with a faint, polite nod.

"Teacher Ji, I am bringing them back to my courtyard to talk." Bai Xifeng informed him as she passed by.

"Hmm." Ji Yuan simply nodded again, completely unbothered.

With his silent permission granted, the lively group continued walking straight towards Bai Xifeng’s personal courtyard. Once inside, it quickly became apparent that there were simply too many people in their group. The few wooden chairs available in her yard were nowhere near enough to seat everyone comfortably.

However, none of them minded the lack of formal seating in the slightest. Those without chairs simply sat cross-legged directly on the clean grass as though it were the most natural, comfortable thing in the world.

"You people really don’t care about your noble appearances at all, do you..." Bai Xifeng rolled her eyes helplessly at their casual behaviour.

"So..." Ning Shoukai urged impatiently, leaning forward on his crossed legs, "Stop dragging it out to build suspense and tell us the absolute truth!"

"Fine... Fine..." Bai Xifeng laughed helplessly at his eagerness.

She then sat down facing them and began telling them the entire, unvarnished truth.

From Baihu unexpectedly triggering his tribulation and becoming the newly crowned Beast King...

About her asking Baishe, Heishe, and Tao-chan to step outside and fiercely protect the Inscriber Division from those expert cultivators....

All the way to how Teacher Ji had cleverly helped her conceal the truth from the outside world...

She recounted every single important detail without hiding a single thing from her trusted friends.

The more they listened to her unbelievable tale, the more thoroughly shocked and speechless their expressions became.

After Bai Xifeng finally finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell into a complete, suffocating silence.

They had all personally met Baihu before. In all of their memories, Baihu had merely been an adorable, chubby little white tiger cub who loved following Bai Xifeng around like a clingy pet.
