Chapter 2324: Sincerity. Zhi: Am I the Only One Who Needs to Admit Fault?

Teacher Qi remained silent for one second, two seconds, three seconds...

About seven or eight seconds later, he took out his phone, "This is serious, I better report it to the dean for you."

He didn’t dare to provoke the Yen Family, but the dean did.

After sending the message to the dean, Teacher Qi led Gu Zhiqi to the office, nagging all the way.

"Although Yen Qiming slandering you is wrong, you did injure him. This matter can be big or small, but the important thing is your attitude."

"Later, regarding injuring Yen Qiming, make sure your apology is sincere, maybe then the Yen Family won’t pursue it."

Gu Zhiqi asked sincerely, "Only I need to apologize?"

Teacher Qi: "..."

Faced with Gu Zhiqi’s sincere inquiry, Teacher Qi fell silent.

How was he supposed to tell her that they couldn’t afford to offend the other party?

Teacher Qi said nothing, and Gu Zhiqi kept looking at him until he couldn’t withstand her gaze anymore and changed the topic, "Come on, let’s go. If we’re late, it might make the other party more upset."

Gu Zhiqi silently followed beside Teacher Qi, "Isn’t Teacher Qi from Nine Stars Academy? Why are you also afraid of the Yen Family?"

Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, Teacher Qi paused for a few seconds before shaking his head at her, "Even though I’m a teacher at Nine Stars Academy, outside of it, I’m just a Loose Cultivator. Where do I dare confront those big families?"

"Those big families are intertwined and have connections among each other. Offending the Yen Family could implicate the Wen Family, and even drag in the Su Family..."

"The Yen Family might not have much power at Nine Stars Academy, but the Wen Family and Su Family are different. The Wen Family oversees the Sound Cultivation Academy, and the Su Family oversees the Mechanical Academy. Moreover, the deans of each academy know each other and are all friends..."

At this point, Teacher Qi didn’t continue, shook his head, and helplessly said, "It’s something we can’t afford to provoke."

"So, child, let’s just apologize properly later."

"I know you’re wronged, but this is reality. In the face of power, no matter how unwilling, one has to bow down, otherwise... the consequences are not something we can bear."

After Teacher Qi finished speaking, Gu Zhiqi fell silent.

Teacher Qi didn’t speak again either, leading Gu Zhiqi towards the office of the Mystical Studies Academy director.

The director of the Mystical Studies Academy is named Lu.

When Gu Zhiqi and Teacher Qi walked into the office, Director Lu was smiling and chatting with Father Yen and Mother Yen on the sofa, clearly showing that they were very familiar with each other from his expression.

On the other side of the sofa sat the pale-faced Yen Qiming, who still looked sickly despite having taken an Elixir due to his severe injuries.

Seeing people entering at the door, Yen Qiming jumped up from the sofa in a flash, angrily exclaiming, "Dad, Mom, it’s her, she’s the one who injured me."

When Yen Qiming spoke, the three people who were conversing at once retracted the smiles on their faces and turned their heads together to look at the door.

Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi following Teacher Qi, each of the three showed different expressions.

Director Lu frowned slightly, feeling a tinge of reluctance in his eyes as he saw how well-behaved Gu Zhiqi appeared.

He didn’t expect that the one who injured Yen Qiming was a student who appeared so obedient.

Father Yen and Mother Yen, upon seeing Gu Zhiqi’s appearance, exchanged a glance.

Whatever they communicated through their eyes, after a few seconds, Mother Yen looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Your name is Gu Zhiqi? You’re from outside?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Yes."

After hearing this, Mother Yen coldly laughed, then suddenly raised her voice, "Who gave you the courage to injure my son?"
