Chapter 1048 - 1047: Blessing in Disguise, Rapid Progress [3]

Qin Xin withdrew her gaze, a hint of sarcasm playing at the corners of her lips.

From her perspective, the senior who lost to her in archery yesterday was obviously brainless. How would he think to lure Ao Xinghao and the others to the grove, let alone come up with the idea to snitch?

It was all secretly orchestrated by someone.

Unfortunately, that woman’s tactics were still lacking.

Little Dongju exclaimed indignantly, "Master, I think that woman hasn’t been bitten by snakes enough; her skin is itching again! Let’s send the little ginger snake to teach her a lesson."

A splash of ginger peeked out a small head from behind Qin Xin’s heel: "Uh-huh, close the door, let me go!"

Qin Xin said calmly, "Go ahead."

The shadow of the ginger snake flickered and disappeared.

Ao Xinghao: "Xin, what did you say?"

Qin Xin turned her head indifferently, "Nothing, let’s go."

Bai Chi howled, "But they bullied us, switching us to room number 3 at the last moment. The seniors just said that room 3 is one of the scariest rooms, even scarier than the room full of mice!"

Qin Xin glanced at him, "So, do you want to go to the mouse room?"

Bai Chi rubbed his nose, "I, I don’t..."

Ao Xinghao gave him a shove, "Alright, alright, if it’s a blessing, it won’t be a disaster; if it’s a disaster, you can’t avoid it. It’s just a little dark room, Xin isn’t scared, so what are you afraid of, big man?"

Si Moyu, with a bravado that feared nothing, declared, "Let’s go!"

He and Qin Xin headed towards room number 3 first, and Ao Xinghao pushed Bai Chi to follow. The few seniors from the Student Union, with bald heads and black faces, timidly trailed behind, no braver than Bai Chi.

Behind them, outside the courtyard, the mentor turned and led the onlookers away.

They had barely taken a few steps.

Suddenly, a scream erupted from the crowd.

Everyone then saw Ding Yu, wearing a veil, suddenly go mad, starting to tear at her veil and contorting her body without care for her image.

The mentor and seniors were startled, "What are you doing?"

Ding Yu, amidst her madness, frantically rubbed against the senior and mentor, "Ahhhh..."

People dodged her in haste.

Someone felt a pang of pity and wanted to help her, "Hey, what’s wrong with you?"

As a result, Ding Yu wouldn’t let go of that person, and that person felt a pain in their wrist before they realized several little snake heads were emerging from Ding Yu’s clothes.

This completely frightened the senior, who, abandoning all sympathy, fiercely kicked Ding Yu away and loudly warned the others, "Don’t mind her, this woman is filthy, hiding snakes on her! She can’t control them and still wants to harm us; she should be locked in the dark room too!"

With the senior’s warning, everyone finally realized the cause of Ding Yu’s abnormal behavior.

Most horrifying of all, she had torn off her veil, revealing a face underneath still scabbing over pockmarks halfway!

"Ugh—!"

The crowd quickly distanced themselves.

The Student Union mentor looked disgusted, "She’s not from our Student Union, what’s she doing sneaking in to watch our Student Union perform tasks? Is she hoping to gain something?"

"Mentor, could it be that she has a personal vendetta with those who were just locked in the dark room and came to gloat?"

The mentor’s expression darkened, "We’re enforcing justice because of student fights, executing punishment. Such a serious matter, who does she think she is to come gawking?... Since she likes watching so much, let her watch in the dark room. Open room 13 and let her enjoy it to her heart’s content!"

Ding Yu originally came to revel in others’ misfortunes, never expecting the fire to reach her.

What?

Clearly, it was the ugly girl being punished for her mistakes, so why was she also being locked up?
