Chapter 62 Crane Screams in the Middle Marsh!

A teacher is one who is able to preach, teach and dispel doubts for students.

He has to have a noble character in order to be a teacher.

“Thank you, teachers!”

He was referring to Lin Zhengyin, Zhao Mingzhu and all the good teachers in the world.

Lin Zhengyin was not arbitrary and did not follow others blindly. He solved the conspiracy with his sophisticated wisdom, which made Li Muyang feel grateful and address him as teacher willingly.

It was admirable that Zhao Mingzhu was willing to admit her mistakes. It was also admirable for her to set aside the dignity of an elder and apologize in public, at such a critical moment.

“What are you thanking us for?” Lin Zhengyin waved his hand and said, “If we can educate students well and let everyone do good things and help each other, how can such a ridiculous thing happen?”

When they heard what Lin Zhengyin said, those students who had initially bowed their heads and said nothing, finally could not keep quiet anymore.

“Headmaster, we did not see Li Muyang hitting anyone…”

“Zhang Chen often bullies Li Muyang in school…”

“Wu Man also forced Li Muyang to be his horse!”

…

People came forward one after another to accuse Zhang Chen, Wu Man, and others of their bad behavior.

“You bastards!” Zhang Chen was extremely angry. But just like what he had done to Li Muyang, he had no explanation for it, because public clamor could melt metals.

What’s more, everyone was telling the truth.

Lin Zhengyin looked at Zhang Chen and Wu Man and said, “You are already done with school. As the headmaster of this school, the punishment I can mete out is limited, but I will write a report about what you have done and put it in your files. At that time, this information will be on record when you enter the college where you are going to have your further education, together with your other information. I think that when they see this, they will give you a fair judgment.”

“Headmaster, please don’t…” Zhang Chen was so shocked that he begged, “Headmaster, you can’t ruin us like this. We have tried so hard for more than ten years. It is not easy for us to get into college. You will ruin our future completely.”

“Headmaster, I was wrong. I am willing to apologize to Li Muyang and I am willing to apologize to Li Sinian.” Wu Man was more anxious, and there were tears in his eyes. He said repeatedly, “Headmaster, I admit that I bullied Li Muyang. It was I who provoked and insulted Li Muyang on purpose. I also hit myself on my head with a brick and broke my nose. All these had nothing to do with Li Muyang.”

Lin Zhengyin ignored him. Zhang Chen and Wu Man went to Li Muyang.

“Li Muyang, we are classmates. Shall we just let it go? I am willing to apologize to you,” Zhang Chen looked at Li Muyang and said this with a smile. This was the first time he had spoken to Li Muyang in such a kind tone.

“That’s right, Li Muyang. Can you help us and speak up for us? You know, we just wanted to play some jokes on you, and we did not mean to bully you, because everyone likes you. You have always been kind, and you will not blame us this time, will you?” Wu Man said, pulling at Li Muyang’s sleeve.

“I will not speak up for you.” Li Muyang looked at Zhang Chen and Wu Man and said, “You were not joking with me. Not before, not today. I have seen it clearly. When you set out to destroy me, you really meant to destroy me—destroy everything about me.”

“Li Muyang…”

“Are you angry?” A sneer appeared at Li Muyang’s mouth. He said, “Why? Why are you so angry? You have bullied me for so many years, and today you even wanted to ruin me completely. If I begged you for mercy at that time, will you let me go?”

“…” Zhang Chen and Wu Man were speechless.

“You won’t, and I won’t either.”

“…”

Lin Zhengyin waved his hand and said, “Ok, enough. Everyone can leave now. It is a good day, stop ruining it.”

Zhao Mingzhu walked toward Li Yangyu and said, “Li Muyang, don’t give up. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely have a chance. Next year, when you are at the top of the Hero List, you can be a good example for your younger brothers and sisters.”

“Okay.” Li Muyang said with a smile, “I will try my best.”

Li Muyang turned to Li Sinian and asked, “Are you all right?”

Li Sinian wiped away her tears and answered, her eyes still red rimmed, “I am fine. I will be fine if you are all right.”

Li Muyang reached out his hand to touch her hair and said with a smile, “Let’s go home.”

“Ok, let’s go home,” Li Sinian said.

“Chirps!”

A clear and loud birdsong broke through the sky and seemed to come from the depths of the white clouds.

It was noisy at the Hero Platform and everyone looked up at the sky.

Light clouds were drifting in the sky. Not a living creature was visible.

“Chirps!”

Another loud and clear cry of a bird could be heard.

“The crane’s screams in the middle marsh could be heard in the wild. The crane’s screams in the middle marsh could heard in the sky.” Lin Zhengyin said with a solemn expression, “It is the cry of the crane. It is flying from a distant place…”

“How can there be a crane?” someone asked in confusion.

No one could answer this question. Everyone raised their heads, wanting to see what it looked like.

They did not have to wait too long, only to see the fog like clouds suddenly parting and a white crane with huge wings, flew past.

Its feathers were as white as snow and its body was as big as a giant roc.

It swooped down like lightning.

The white crane seemed to be a spiritual being and was flying in the direction of the Hero Platform.

“Oh my god, the white crane is so big!”

“Look, there is someone on the crane. There is someone on the crane…”

“Kneel quickly, that is an immortal…”

…

“Puff—”

The white crane flapped its huge wings and landed on the Hero Platform with a graceful swoop.

Everyone turned to look at the white-skinned, beautiful and majestic white crane, as well as the handsome young man with a flowing cloud pattern on his gorgeous clothes and accessories.

“How beautiful the white crane is! I also want to have one….”

“That man is so handsome. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life…”

“He is an immortal, right? What is he doing here?”

…

The examinees talked about the white crane and its master in low voices.

The crane’s cries were too loud, so more and more people rushed toward the Hero Platform, including students in the school, parents waiting outside, and some people who were bored and came over to take a look.

Lin Zhengyin made an obeisance by cupping his hands before his chest and said in a sturdy voice, “You came to our city with your crane, and finally landed on the Hero Platform of our school. What can I do for you?”

Before people could see him doing anything, the handsome man had already alighted from the back of the crane.

With one hand covering his chest, he performed a standard greeting and said in a loud and clear voice, “I am sorry for disturbing you. I was in a hurry. Who is Li Muyang?”

“Li Muyang?”

“He is here to look for Li Muyang?”

“What is the relationship between Li Muyang and this immortal?”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Li Muyang. They did not understand why “the man of the day” even had something to do with the immortal.

Nobody knew what was happening. Li Muyang was even more confused.

Look at his appearance, his clothes, his mount and his noble appearance. Li Muyang did not have such a distant cousin or relative. If he had one, he would have told the whole world.

“I am Li Muyang.” Li Muyang came out of the crowd.

Li Sinian followed closely behind, staring at the immortal and the crane curiously.

The Immortal grinned and looked at Li Muyang with great enthusiasm in his eyes. He said, “Congratulations Muyang! You have been selected for admission to our university for being the best candidate.”
