Chapter 1049: Apologize to the Cranes
Before Instructor Wu could say anything, Wu Heng ignored the pain in his body and ran to the Crane House’s Beast Pen and pointed at the cranes. “Are you all stupid? When did I pluck out your tail feathers? It was clearly that d.a.m.ned girl who did it! Why are you framing me?”
The cranes were also capable of bullying others. Moreover, Yun Chujiu had just said that they were n.o.ble birds, yet this d.a.m.n fatty had called them stupid birds. His behavior was too detestable! The cranes cried out in anger and pounced on the side of the railing, they kept using their wings and long beaks to attack Wu Heng.
At that time, the people who watched were certain that Wu Heng must have plucked the tail feathers of the flock of cranes. Even Instructor Wu was uncertain. Those tail feathers were most likely plucked by Heng. ‘That idiot, just admit you plucked them. What are you quarreling about?! This is great, so many people know about this now, so how can I protect you?’
“Uncle, I didn’t do it! I was in the dormitory yesterday afternoon!” Wu Heng was so upset that he wanted to throw up blood. I have never been to the crane’s dormitory, how could it be that I plucked the tail feathers?!
Instructor Wu was about to cry from his nephew’s stupidity!
In the dormitory? If that’s the case, will there be anyone that can testify for you? Even if you want to find someone to perjure your testimony for you, there’s no way!
Instructor Wu’s forehead was dripped with sweat. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and he had even called the disciplinary department’s instructor over. How was he going to end things now? Could it be that he was going to get Heng’er expelled from Tianyuan Academy?
Instructor Yuan from the disciplinary department coughed and said, “Instructor Wu, right now, Wu Heng’s chances don’t look very good. If we can’t find any evidence, then we can only expel him according to the school rules!”
“This… This… instructor Yuan, this matter should be a misunderstanding. Heng’er wouldn’t do such a ridiculous thing,” Instructor Wu said with a smile.
Instructor Yuan sneered in his heart, ‘Misunderstanding?! The crane group had pointed out that it was your nephew who pulled out their tail feathers. Otherwise, how could they be so angry?!’
Instructor Wu saw that instructor Yuan did not speak, and he grew even more anxious, ‘What should I do? Could it be that I have to go beg Deputy Dean Yin?’
“Aiya, I have something that I don’t know whether to say or not?” Yun Chujiu weakly raised her small hands.
Instructor Wu said unhappily, “What do you mean? Speak!”
“Although it’s wrong for Wu Heng to pluck the tail feathers of the cranes, they have already punished him. Moreover, plucking tail feathers doesn’t count as harming the spirit beast. After all, the tail feathers can still regrow eventually. Just let Wu Heng apologize to the cranes and forget about this matter!” Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes and said in a diplomatic tone.
Instructor Wu never thought that Yun Chujiu would plead for mercy for Wu Heng. However, he did not have the time to think about Yun Chujiu’s motives now, he quickly followed Yun Chujiu’s lead and said, “Instructor Yuan, what Yun Chujiu said makes sense. The tail feathers of the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Crane can regrow. After some time, they will grow back again. Moreover, Heng’er has already been punished. If Heng’er apologizes to the cranes, let’s forget about this matter!”
Instructor Yuan’s expression darkened slightly. “Instructor Wu, the disciplinary department isn’t your personal attack dogs. We’re not people who can just come and go as you please. Don’t make such jokes again next time!”
Instructor Wu knew he was in the wrong. With a smile, he said a lot of nice things to Instructor Yuan to placate him. Then, he said to Wu Heng, “Heng’er, why aren’t you apologizing to the cranes? Just apologize and this matter will be over!”
Wu Heng’s heart was like a raging river. He clearly did not do anything, so why was he blamed? Who had he offended? Not only did he get injured, but he also had to apologize to the cranes. He even gained the reputation of being a f*cking feather thief!
