This is too hilarious!

10. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!

The entrance to Yuncheng No.1 Middle School.

Just as Li Bin was about to drive his car into the school, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oops! I was so engrossed in our conversation that I forgot to mention something very important!"

squeak--!

He abruptly turned the steering wheel, pulled the car over to the side of the road, and said sternly to the bewildered Bai Hui:

"Bai Hui, because of your incident, the school has had to carry out disinfection and sterilization of some long-tongued parrots ahead of schedule."

To make up for it, the school leaders postponed the release of the monthly exam results.

So you'll be taking the monthly exam separately later.

Students can only return to their classrooms after completing all monthly exams.

"?"

Bai Hui paused for a moment, glanced at the sky outside the car window, and then at the time displayed on the car.

There is no doubt that it is already evening self-study time, and the first evening self-study session is already halfway through!

Having already spent a week intensively studying ghost stories, Bai Hui immediately realized that the school was doing this to create a sense of mystery for him and to stimulate the students' curiosity.

This would, in turn, affect the focus of attention on the strange tale of the long-tongued parrot, minimizing the impact of the trouble he caused due to the unknown circumstances on the day he traveled to this world...

Therefore, I may temporarily become the focus of attention for the entire first-year high school students, and even students in other grades!

The points of interest for existing long-tongued parrots, and those that are about to appear, will gradually become:

Where did Bai Hui go this week, and what did he do?

"Who is this guy that he caused the entire grade's monthly exam results to be delayed?"

...and so on.

Bai Hui even considered that the school might ask him to keep it a secret, so that this "secret" could be maintained for as long as possible, close to the deadline of the school's original disinfection plan!

Bai Hui, who had studied intensively on his own, could think of these things and, of course, understand them.

After all, it was indeed his own fault that he caused the trouble.

But the problem is...

"All exams must be finished before you can go back to the classroom? Starting now?"

"That's right!"

Li Bin nodded: "This is to control the long-tongued parrot. I hope you can understand... You have already condensed your inner demons, so the long-tongued parrot will not have any impact on you."

The gossip from your classmates... shouldn't have a significant impact on you...

As Li Bin spoke, he recalled how he had practiced martial arts until he was exhausted and fainted a few days ago, and then studied until late at night after waking up...

Yet, during those six days, he remained calm throughout, until today, when he finally came to life after refining his inner strength.

It is speculated that Bai Hui may have been too devastated by the death of his parents, which led him to do things such as "spending all of his parents' pension money to buy three dream devices", "working so hard that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown without realizing it", and "appearing to be diligent and calm, but in reality, he may have had problems with his emotional expression".

This is also the main reason why Li Bindao helped Bai Hui, and why Liu Shuyan decided not to pursue Bai Hui's responsibility on behalf of the school after reviewing Bai Hui's academic records...

As teachers, it is an essential course for them to deduce and roughly analyze students' psychological state based on their circumstances!

If Bai Hui knew what Li Bin was thinking at this moment, he would suddenly realize that this was what he was thinking!

Unfortunately, Bai Hui didn't know that.

He was simply making inferences based on the information he currently had, and he felt that what the school was doing was indeed the best option at present.

This would both maintain the stability of the legend of the long-tongued parrot and give him an opportunity to take responsibility...

As for the potential for other students to have different opinions about him?

Whatever!

Even if Bai Hui hadn't condensed his inner demons yet, in his previous life, when he was nearly thirty, what he missed most was his time at school.

It's just being tickled by crickets, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh... unless those students send me some kind of cursed text message!

Of course, they can't send it either... This world has very strict controls on students' communication devices...

Because the cursed text message is very likely a real curse... even if it isn't, it will become a real ghost story as it's passed around...

Bai Hui's thoughts drifted.

"What's wrong? Is it too difficult for you?"

Li Bin asked in a deep voice.

Thinking to myself, it's true, at this age when losing face is like a major life crisis, this kind of thing is really hard to accept.

Can……

This was the only way for him and Liu Shuyan to get the school to not hold Bai Hui accountable.

Otherwise, those three dream artifacts in Bai Hui's house... probably wouldn't be safe.

Those greedy guys will definitely seize this opportunity after learning about Bai Hui's family situation and try to change the ownership of those three dream artifacts!

Li Bin thought about it and sighed again.

I feel it's also my fault for not informing Bai Hui beforehand... but given Bai Hui's condition a few days ago, I didn't dare to say anything!

Bai Hui, unaware of Li Bindao's thoughts, snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this and said, "Ah, is it difficult? Not at all, but... Teacher Li, let me confirm again... Chinese, Math, English, Geography, History, Politics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, plus the Strange Tales subject... Do I have to finish all ten subjects before I can leave the office since I entered the school?"

In the first semester of the first year of high school, students hadn't yet chosen between arts and sciences tracks...

"right."

Li Bin nodded: "You don't need to take the physical education exam. You're already a martial artist at the Sha Body Realm, so your score in this subject is practically guaranteed to be in the top ten of the grade."

After hearing this, Bai Hui felt a little melancholy: "Looks like I'll have to stay up all night... Oh well, it's my fault for causing this mess."

"By the way, do you order late-night snacks?"

"Hmm... Ah?"

Li Bin was taken aback: "You agreed? No... you just wanted to ask about the exam subjects? Then what I just said might cause some students to gossip about you..."

"Let them talk... By the way, do you need me to keep this a secret? How long can we keep it a secret so we can continue with the school's original disinfection plan?"

"this……"

Li Bin almost lost track of Bai Hui's train of thought. He had been worried about something, but Bai Hui didn't seem to care at all.

"Keep it a secret, and that should continue until... the midterm exams. You'll need to fight against students in the same grade who are at the Fiend Body Realm. When you reveal your strength then, it should significantly divert the students' attention. The school's original plan was to carry out the extermination around that time..."

"Is that so..."

Bai Hui nodded: "So that's next week?"

"Yes, it might be a bit tough, after all, being gossiped about is definitely not a good thing..."

"It's definitely been a bit tough," Bai Hui agreed. "So, are meals provided?"

"???"

Li Bindao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and slapped Bai Hui on the shoulder: "You brat... Fine! I'll feed you!"

"That's good!"

Bai Hui also laughed.

Continuing with last week's meal tickets!

If I fail to sell the Dream Machine at a low price later, then... at least I'll have an extra week of leeway and won't have to worry about food!

The teacher and students, each with their own thoughts, smiled at each other.

……

Upon returning to school, Bai Hui immediately followed Li Bin to the teachers' office.

This is one of the few places on campus where there are no long-tongued parrots.

The long-tongued parrots in the school are mostly a product of the students' curiosity about gossip and secrets.

And students generally have a certain idealized view of teachers.

If a student is suddenly called into the office, the other students will discuss and speculate about the reason why the student was called away, and gossip about it.

But if such a thing were to happen to me... I would naturally be filled with fear and anxiety.

Therefore, news from the teachers' office is considered by the long-tongued parrots to some extent as "unpalatable gossip"—they would rather stay in the classroom with the students or quietly follow a faculty member outdoors.

But they rarely enter the teachers' offices.

"Bai Hui? You're back?"

Just as I was about to enter the office, a slightly surprised voice came from ahead.

Bai Hui tilted his head behind Li Bindao and saw a young girl who had just come out of the office. Even though she was wearing a baggy school uniform, she was still obviously youthful and beautiful.

Where did you go this week?

The girl asked curiously.

Bai Hui remembered her; she seemed to be the prettiest girl in his class, named something like "Luo Daiyun"...

Remembering his promise to Li Bindao, Bai Hui, before Li Bindao could speak, addressed the 'class beauty's' question with a stern face, saying, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Li Bin asked, "?"

Luo Daiyun: "??"
