Chapter 2065
Little Grass lifted its vine and whipped Mu Ziqi with a whack whack whack. The places where the vine whipped him ripped open more holes in his clothing.
Mu Ziqi clenched his teeth and endured the beating. He was too embarrassed to even cry out.
Why was it him again!? Mu Ziqi couldn’t even count the number of times this had already happened. It was extremely pathetic to be beaten in front of his grandfather with so many people watching.
Grandfather would be disappointed in him—he had lowered the prestige and honor of the Mu family.
Mu Ziqi was incredibly angry. This woman Yue Shuangshuang was doing this on purpose. She resented that he had rejected her confession, so was repeatedly humiliating him.
Mu Ziqi wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. He clenched his teeth tightly to hold on to his last bit of dignity.
Marshal Mu had a heavy expression and beckoned to the deputy general beside him. “Bring them over.”
The deputy general sat on the griffin and flew away.
“Stop.” Ning Shu said towards Little Grass.
Everyone was silent as the two sides confronted each other.
The partly bald academy head leaned in towards Instructor Wen. Instructor Wen took a step back and said gently, “Academy Head, you just came back from your travels. You should go wash up.”
“This girlie’s personality is too intense. Is it really good to have her stay in the academy?” The academy head rubbed his head as he looked at Ning Shu.
“When desperate, a cornered dog will leap over a wall. If one doesn’t have the spirit of resistance, how could they become powerful?” There were too many setbacks on the path of becoming powerful; unswerving determination was everything. Constantly compromising wouldn’t be able to solve a thing.
“Okay.” The academy head wiped his hands on his robe.
Soon after, the Yue family’s parents were brought over. Both of them had wounds on their bodies.
“Father, Mother…” Little Bean shouted to Father Yue and Mother Yue who were on griffins, biting his cheek tightly.
The deputy general grabbed Father Yue and Mother Yue off the griffin. When they landed, both Father Yue and Mother Yue were so in pain their faces contorted.
Their feet had been pierced by something, and there were several bloody splots about the size of a nail.
“Now let my grandson go.” Marshal Mu said.
“Let my parents go first.” Ning Shu’s expression was ice cold.
“Get over there.” The deputy general kicked Father Yue and Mother Yue, causing them to fall to the ground.
Both of their feet had been injured terribly, so walking was painful.
Little Grass reached out its vine, entangled Yue Shuangshuang’s parents, and lifted them up to Ning Shu’s side.
Ning Shu let go of Mu Ziqi and kicked him, “Get lost.”
Marshal Mu pulled Mu Ziqi onto the giant bird, glanced at Ning Shu, and flew away.
Ning Shu let out a long breath.
“Thank you Academy Head, thank you Instructor Wen.” Ning Shu thanked the two.
“The academy has a room for instructors. You should first settle your parents down, but we have something to discuss with you after.” Instructor Wen said. He gave Ning Shu two bottles of medicine. “Take this and give it to your parents.”
Ning Shu took the medicine. He was being this considerate. What did Instructor Wen want?
Ning Shu nodded in agreement and brought her injured parents to the academy’s room for instructors. She then fed them the medicine and cooked something up.
If they were in prison, they definitely couldn’t have eaten very well.
The family of four moved into the academy temporarily.
“Little Bean, look after our parents well. Big Sister’s going to go talk to the instructor.” Ning Shu patted Little Bean on the shoulder.
Little Bean nodded heavily, “Big Sister, don’t worry.”
Ning Shu went to the academy head’s building and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
