Chapter 189: Processing and Lessons

"In any case—"

Ye Xian suddenly spoke up, as if accidentally interrupting Duan Mu's words, and said to Ji Jue: "——You took action without authorization and caused such a big incident. In order to maintain the association's position, as a teacher, I have to express my opinion."

"Don't expect to get involved in other work. From today on, you will go to the recycling department."

Amid the shocked gazes of many people, Ye Xian said decisively: "If you can't handle four batches, don't come back."

The atmosphere in the room became heavy again, and there seemed to be a sound of swallowing saliva.

The look they gave Ye Xian also changed from horror to confusion and shock. The other victims who were about to continue screaming suddenly fell silent upon hearing this, not daring to make a sound.

Only Ji Jue looked confused: "What is the recycling department?"

“The blockade of Quancheng is a matter of great importance. Over the years, the craftsmen of the Security Bureau and the association have worked together to produce a batch of isolation facilities for consumption.

After use, in order to prevent this part of the "alchemical works" that have absorbed the "evil pollution" from spreading out and causing pollution or damage, they must be collected and disassembled by craftsmen.

The recycling department is where this part of the work is handled.”

Professor Ye glanced at Ji Jue coldly: "Now, do you understand?"

For the Chosen One, working in a place filled with evil pollution for a long time is just like ordinary people staying in a high-radiation environment near a reactor every day. It is simply risking their lives!
Moreover, although they are called isolation facilities, in fact, the way those alchemical works are isolated is to absorb the evil pollution emitted from the Spring City through themselves.

In order to ensure that it can work stably for a long time, almost all craftsmen have worked hard to create it with the best materials. And because of this, the pollution contained in it is probably more terrible than the environment in Quancheng!
No matter how strict the protection is, even with the dissociation technique at hand, it would still take half of your life to process four batches. If you are contaminated by mistake, you may go straight to the ICU.

Such a cruel and brutal way of handling the matter made not only Master Duan, who had just stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, but also everyone else shiver all over.

This guy is your own student, not someone you picked up on the street... If he was really a leftover apprentice, why did you bring him to your side? How could you possibly cut down more than a dozen of them as if they were melons and vegetables?

How to deal with it like dealing with an enemy?
It has been more than ten or twenty years, and everyone thought that she had started to improve her character, but they did not expect that this crazy woman was really cruel. She was cruel to others, to herself, and even more cruel to her students!
But when Ji Jue heard this and learned the consequences, he didn't say a word.

He even just nodded and said calmly:

"I understand."

As if nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, his slightly twitching face and trembling voice betrayed him, causing many people who wanted to punish him severely to begin to sympathize with him.

But Ye Xian did not give them a chance to interrupt, and just turned around and said, "How is it, everyone? Do you think my discipline and treatment are to your liking?"

Master Duan hesitated several times and finally shook his head: "Actually, there is no need to be so harsh..."

"What should I do? Just curse a few words, lift it high, and then put it down gently? I can't do that."

Ye Xian sneered, "If other apprentices can do it, my apprentice can do it too. There is no need for you to show off your kindness by catching rats.

Now, Ji Jue, I've taken care of it!"

She put her hands behind her back and glanced at the other craftsmen who looked embarrassed. She said coldly, "It's up to you guys to decide what to do next!"

What's next?
Cold dish?

Dreaming!
Ji Jue, who was "unable to bear the humiliation and was forced to fight back", was almost thrown into death row by his own teacher. What about you bullies? Are you going to punish yourselves with three cups of wine?

Don't even mention what others will think at that time. Now that Master Duan is being urged to step forward and act as a peacemaker, he will not let him go first!
I can kill but I can't, and I don't want to hit too hard. What should I do?
At this moment, as everyone's eyes moved and their sights crossed, in the end, they all looked at the middle-aged craftsman who was just angrily denouncing, and the female apprentice who closed her eyes and pretended to be dead in his arms.

You guys made a good start, you go first!

The craftsman's expression twitched. He wanted to speak several times, but in the face of the gazes, he was powerless and lowered his head. He looked at the terrified students, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a voice:
"You started the fight first, slandered the master, and caused such a big incident. From today on..."

Just when he was about to speak, he heard a voice not far away.

Ji Jue.

As if expressing emotion, he said to the teacher beside him: "Teacher, her bracelet looks pretty good."

Ye Xian glanced at him, as if she understood something, and just nodded regretfully:
"Yeah, it's pretty good."

At that moment, the craftsman's eyes lit up and an idea came to his mind. He threw the student in his arms to the ground, and then, regardless of her struggle, he directly pulled the bracelet off.

He bent over and came closer, ignoring the surprised looks of others, and forced a smile: "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect, but just to make up for the offense Mr. Ji suffered before..."

"what?"

Ji Jue was shocked and stared: "Is this really okay?"

“Okay, okay, it couldn’t be better.” The craftsman endured the convulsion of heart pain, smiled twistedly, and forced the bracelet into his pocket.

But Ji Jue sighed and waved his hand to refuse, "Oh, that's not what I meant."

"I know, I know, it's just a little something!"

"Hey↑Hey↓Hey↑"

Ji Jue wanted to refuse helplessly, but in the end, under the strong request of the craftsman, he was forced to accept such a blessed creation as compensation, and could only sigh:
"Well, I'm sorry."

Seeing that he was willing to show mercy, the craftsman didn't care about the pain and directly pulled the student's hair and ran straight to the infirmary. If he didn't go, he was afraid that he would beat the student to death on the way.

What happened next was a natural progression.

Ji Jue said, "I think the ring is okay."

"Indeed." Ye Xian nodded.

……

"The gloves are average, but there are two of them, so it's okay."

"Then make do with it. The earrings are fine. If I add another piece of material of the same grade, it will be almost the same."

……

“This doesn’t feel right.”

"Then..."

"and many more!"

The craftsman with a distorted expression gritted his teeth and helplessly pulled the bracelet off his wrist and presented it to Ye Xian with both hands. However, Ye Xian ignored him, as if she couldn't see it.

Until he turned around and handed it to Ji Jue.

Ji Jue opened the second pocket helplessly, sighed, and motioned him to force it in.

This is not what I asked for!

In this way, under the witness of many masters, a cruel execution turned into a disguised robbery approved by the government. After being beaten, the fools had to tear off their valuables while crying, and after paying the ransom, they lay on the stretcher and cried out weakly, dying...

But Ye Xian's eyes were extremely sharp, and she could not be fooled by ordinary things. Basically, the prices she offered were precisely within the upper limit of what the craftsmen could accept.

If you stick your head out, you will be cut once; if you hide your head, you will be cut more than once, or even several times.

In the end, it turned into an embarrassing scene where the victims rushed to pay the ransom.

Only next to him, Zhou Zhong's face turned greener and greener.

When it was his turn, he simply sneered.

I don't intend to bow my head.

He just waved his hand and tapped Zhou Cheng's shattered chin with his cane: "This blind fellow has offended Professor Ye's disciple, and he still wants nephew Ji to spare one of his disciples. Don't give me face, just beat him to death!"

"Ok."

Ji Jue nodded without hesitation and took out his pistol.

Without any hesitation, pull the trigger!

He didn't even give him a chance to bargain. When Zhou Zhong remembered that the gun chamber was loaded with the same evil bullet he had seen with his own eyes, he could no longer hold back and his face suddenly changed.

Reach out subconsciously.

"slow!"

In shock, he didn't even bother to hold back and forcibly interfered with the space, stagnating the air and covering Zhou Cheng.

But unfortunately... nothing happened.

The trigger was pulled, but there was no sound of a gunshot.

No bullets flew.

"Hmm? Weird...what's going on?"

Ji Jue was confused. He picked up the gun, put the muzzle close to his eyes, and pulled the trigger several times. Finally, he realized, "Oh, it seems that the primer is damp."

As he said this, he pulled out the loaded evil bullet.

Zhou Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even care about his face or being teased by Ji Jue. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard a roar without any warning.

boom!
There was a flash of gunfire, and Zhou Cheng, who was pretending to be dead on the ground, suddenly screamed, hugged one of his legs, and wailed sharply.

Ji Jue was stunned. He looked down at the gun in his hand. His finger was clearly not on the trigger.

"Ah, it went off accidentally!" He was so shocked that he lost his voice and angrily slapped the gun in his hand: "How can this broken thing have a delay? It's killing me!"

Only Zhou Zhong, who was standing next to him, was neither angry nor not angry, his expression gradually becoming more and more depressed.

He stared at Ji Jue for a long time and sighed softly:
"What a good disciple."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ji Jue did not back down, but just nodded, "I will work hard."

Zhou Zhong didn't say anything else.

He pointed at his grandson who was dying on the ground, motioned for others to drag him up, then turned around and left with his men.

Only Ji Jue watched them leave, and couldn't help but sigh: "The master is amazing, but he didn't give any thanks at all."

Ye Xian, who was standing next to him, threw the poisonous arrow he had left behind into Ji Jue's arms.

Let him keep it.

From now on, this thing will be named Ji.

Just like that, he nodded slightly to the others and turned and left.

Ji Jue followed her back to her residence. After closing the door, he looked at Professor Ye, who was holding a teacup with an expressionless face. He smiled awkwardly and became nervous:

"Will this mess affect your work?"

"Yes, but it's just right, so I don't have to say anything unpleasant."

Ye Xian said nonchalantly: "If I really wanted to avoid trouble, I wouldn't have brought you here. This is just a small matter, and it's still within my ability to handle."

Is this considered a small matter?
In broad daylight, Ji Jue felt that if he had a little more strength, he would be able to wipe out the Taiyi Association. But in the eyes of his own teacher, he was not that powerful?
So what is a big deal?

Kill a master?

Ji Jue didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

Although he was greatly shocked, he did not forget the rules and obediently put the two large bags in his hands on the table. After picking out a few pieces of protective equipment that could be used at the moment, he confiscated the rest.

Anyway, I won’t use too much of it.

Then, Ye Xian threw the bag over to him.

"Deal with it yourself. Are you treating this place like a garbage dump?"

Ye Xian put down the teacup nonchalantly and suddenly asked, "What did you learn from today's events?"

"Uh……"

Ji Jue was at a loss for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he asked tentatively, "Take the initiative in everything? Never tolerate provocation? Or... convince others with reason?"

It's not like he would beat anyone he saw and make them kowtow until they didn't, right?

And the way Ye Xian looked at him was as if he was a fool.

"If principles are useful, what is the need for alchemy?"

She said, "Don't have too many illusions. The association is the most realistic place, even more realistic than Huangji. It's just that everyone pretends to be civilized and ends up believing it themselves."

Survival of the fittest and the strong prey on the weak are the rules of the White Deer, and the superiority of the capable and the priority of the accomplished are also the principles of the Embers.

It's just that one manifests itself in strength, while the other focuses more on knowledge and talent.

Fundamentally, there is no difference.

If you can do it, then you are awesome. If you can’t, just kneel down and don’t say anything.

It's that simple.

Ye Xian has been rampant for so many years, giving everyone a headache. Isn't it because she is stronger than everyone else and more powerful than everyone else?

Over the years, if the top leaders of the association were to ask who has the best chance of becoming the next grandmaster, Ye Xian would definitely be at the top of the list, and there wouldn't be many people who could compete with her for the top spot.

"The only thing you should learn is not to become that kind of person. No matter how much a weak person howls, he is still a clown. Only when you are strong enough that others dare not point fingers at you, will you be qualified to walk your own path."

Ye Xian paused for a moment and laughed at himself: "I didn't learn this truth until I was 25 years old. You are better than me."

Ji Jue wanted to speak, but was interrupted by her waving her hand.

I don't know if he was too lazy to listen to the self-humility and flattery or if he simply didn't care whether he wanted to refute it.

"Okay, get back to work!"

After being a teacher for so long, if she still doesn't realize that Ji Jue's ability growth depends on decomposing equipment, then Ye Xian's eyeballs can be dug out and stepped on for fun. There are many things that she is just too lazy to say.

The man was beaten, the money was collected, and then it was natural to put this rat into the rice jar and give him a luxurious buffet.

Thinking of this, Ye Xian’s fist suddenly stiffened.

How come you get all the good things?

Running so fast!

Do you want to call him back and give him a good meal?
Outpost, in a quiet office building, on the top floor.

In Haizhou Zhenshou's office, the secretary bent down, picked up the documents that the old man accidentally dropped on the ground, put them back on the table, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth.

"There seemed to be a vibration sound just now." He sighed softly, "Could something have happened?"

"Nothing...thing..."

Tao Gong leaned back in the recliner and said vaguely, "It's all just a small matter..."

But for some reason, the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up slightly.

Seems happy.

　It’s the beginning of the month, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!
