Chapter 5 - Gu Ye Seems Slightly Evil
Encountering bullying for the first time in his life, Gu Ye chuckled to himself. Rolling up his sleeves, he sneered, “Rather than worry about the second half of my school year, you better worry about yours.”
Three minutes later, Gu Ye returned to the cla.s.sroom under the bewildered stares of the other students.
A few moments later, a disciplinary teacher went to use the restroom. As he opened the door, he saw two male students naked and unconscious, tightly embracing each other. Seeing their vulgar, pale-white bodies on the floor, he closed his eyes in disgust.
The discipline teacher almost spewed out blood, shouting, “Indecent! Highly improper! Are you guys crazy?! You guys must be crazy!”
He blocked the entrance and called Cla.s.s 6’s homeroom teacher, Teacher Yu, over.
Teacher Yu was nearly fifty years old and had been a teacher for decades, but he had never seen such brazen students. Qian Zhen and Hu MingMing were famous delinquents in the school. They often bullied their cla.s.smates and disrespected the teachers. Even the new female teacher had already been angered to tears several times. Teacher Yu knew that these two students were not easy to manage, but he never expected them to do something so insane.
After shouting at them a few times and seeing that they still didn’t wake up, Teacher Yu directly poured cold water onto their faces. “Wake up! This is outrageous! Don’t you have any shame?!”
Qian Zhen groggily woke up and instantly saw the furious expressions on his cla.s.sroom teacher and the disciplinary teacher’s faces. Then, he looked at Hu MingMing, who was still sprawled on top of him. The teacher’s anger didn’t faze him, but it was Hu MingMing’s indecent position that gave him a start. “f.u.c.k! What are you playing at?! Why are you naked, Hu MingMing!”
Turning to look at himself, Qian Zhen was stupefied. What the f.u.c.k happened? He only remembered dragging Gu Ye to the toilet, trying to avoid the surveillance to beat him up, then… then he didn’t remember anything.
“You two put on your clothes first.” Face pale, Teacher Yu exasperatedly said : “Teacher won’t discriminate and look down on two boys being together, but you should not do such things at this age! This is a school! A place to study! How dare you…” Teacher Yu kneaded his painful forehead, angered to the point of speechlessness. He felt as if he was about to faint.
Understanding the teacher’s meaning, Qian Zhen immediately became angry. “Old Yu, what do you mean? Me and him? I…” When Qian Zhen turned around and saw Hu MingMing’s flabby flesh, his stomach suddenly churned.
The discipline teacher’s anger flared after hearing his disrespectful att.i.tude toward his homeroom teacher and commanded, “Qian Zhen! Call your parents! We have to talk about you and what type of student you are!”
Hu MingMing, who just woke up, was also disgusted and frightened. While putting on his clothes, he desperately tried to explain : “Teacher, you got it wrong! It’s Gu Ye who framed us! Gu Ye, that son of a b.i.t.c.h!”
Teacher Yu laughed mockingly. “Everybody knows that Gu Ye is honest and wouldn’t even dare to speak loudly. How can he do such a thing? You want to fool us? You really don’t want to admit your mistakes?! Call your parents immediately!”
Good things remain unknown, but bad things will spread thousands of miles over. The news that Qian Zhen and Hu MingMing were discovered naked and embracing each other in the restroom soon spread all over the school. The delinquents in the school were stupefied. It turns out that Zhen-Ge and Ming-Ge were actually in this kind of relationship!
At noon, Qian Zhen and Hu MingMing’s parents arrived. Under their intense pleading, Teacher Yu seriously told them : “To be honest, even expulsion is reasonable. However, after considering their future and the fact that the college entrance exam is around the corner, the school has decided to give them a chance to make amends. Their record will state that they had a fight in the restroom which is a major demerit. The next time they fight, they will be immediately expelled.”
The two’s parents bowed in thanks while cursing their sons in their minds.
Qian Zhen, however, was unsatisfied. “Teacher, are you blind? It was obviously Gu Ye’s work. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his father angrily kicked him. “Shut up!”
Qian Zhen clenched his fist, glaring at his father with indignation.
Teacher Yu was greatly dissatisfied with Qian Zhen’s att.i.tude. “The school had already checked the surveillance video. There were only the two of you forcibly dragging Gu Ye into the bathroom. Since you claim that it was Gu Ye’s doing, you should know how he did it, right?”
Qian Zhen opened his mouth, yet he had nothing to say. He had no recollection of what transpired.
After being reprimanded, Qian Zhen and Hu MingMing went to the cafeteria for a meal and received countless probing eyes from the students. They cursed Gu Ye endlessly in their hearts.
When Qian Zhen spotted Gu Ye eating nonchalantly in a corner, his eyes turned red from rage. “It must be Gu Ye’s doing, that son of a b.i.t.c.h!”
“We can’t make any more mistakes or we will really be expelled.” Hu Ming Ming reminded him with a whisper.
Qian Zhen glared fiercely at Gu Ye, saying, “Wait until we get out of school. I’ll teach him a lesson then!”
For the first time ever, Qian Zhen didn’t sleep in cla.s.s. Glaring at Gu Ye’s back hatefully, he began calculating how to teach him a lesson.
At the end of cla.s.s, a short boy came to Qian Zhen and said, “Zhen-Ge, I heard Gu Ye’s younger brother is also studying in our school as a first year.”
At this moment, Gu Ye, who was about eight tables away from them, suddenly turned around and gave them a smile. Gu Ye’s face was exquisite and his peach blossom eyes with black pupils were as clear as jade. Before, Gu Ye’s personality was dull and there was nothing to note about his face. But now, even if he smiled, his eyes were dark and frightening. The group of delinquents immediately felt a chill run up their spines, filling them with gooseb.u.mps.
Still grinning, Gu Ye calmly predicted, “In the next month, you will have bad luck. Try to live.”
“f.u.c.k you!” Qian Zhen had never been threatened before. Usually, it was always him who bullied others, so when Gu Ye provoked him, he impulsively wanted to beat the boy up, regardless of the consequences.
In the next second, however, the 180cm tall Qian Zhen fell flat onto the ground, causing his nose to bleed. Everybody else was stupefied. What the h.e.l.l?! Since when did Gu Ye become a crow’s mouth ?!
Qian Zhen’s lackeys rushed up to help him get to the infirmary to stop the bleeding, but just as they were about to walk out the door, a basketball suddenly flew towards Qian Zhen’s head out of nowhere. The ball hit Qian Zhen squarely on the head and bounced several meters away from the impact. It was obviously thrown with great strength.
“f.u.c.king h.e.l.l! Who? Who threw that?!” Hearing Qian Zhen’s shouts and curses of anger in the hallway, the whole cla.s.s’s gaze on Gu Ye became awed and a little fearful. This Gu Ye is a little evil!

After the evening self-study session, Gu Ye went to his dormitory and found that the bed he left empty had already been tidied. Standing under the bunk bed was another cla.s.smate of his, smiling shyly. The boy had a baby face and was quite short. Coupled with that smile, he appeared even younger.
Gu Ye didn’t know the boy’s name, so he just nodded slightly as a greeting. To be honest, even if he had the original soul’s memory, the original Gu Ye didn’t even remember what his cla.s.smates looked like.
“Xia Xiang, why are you, a top student, coming to our dorm?” w.a.n.g Kai, one of the boys in the dorm, looked at the newcomer with hostility and even a hint of fear. The students in this dormitory were usually those with average or low grades but were not mischievous. The teacher purposely arranged them in this manner to accommodate Gu Ye. Gu Ye looked at the other students in the dorm and found that they shared a similar sentiment, which was a bit strange. Is this the so-called hostility from learning slags towards a learning master?
Xia Xiang was embarra.s.sed. With his head down, he explained in a whisper, “The original dorm was inconvenient so I moved.”
This reason was obviously fake, but Gu Ye was too lazy to care about a group of children. Picking up his stuff to take a bath, he went out. At this time, w.a.n.g Kai also followed suit. After leaving the dormitory, w.a.n.g Kai advised, “You better stay away from Xia Xiang.”
“Why?”
w.a.n.g Kai was a little surprised by Gu Ye’s response. In the past, Gu Ye would only reply with “Mn” and nothing else, but now, he would actually ask questions. Looking at Gu Ye’s eyes, w.a.n.g Kai was even more surprised. Gu Ye seemed to be a bit different from before, but boys were generally carefree, so w.a.n.g Kai didn’t care too much. Looking around to make sure there was n.o.body nearby, w.a.n.g Kai whispered, “His eyes are different from ours. He can see what we can’t. Many people know this.” w.a.n.g Kai then added, dissatisfied, “I don’t know why he moved to our dorm. Is our life going to be full of surprises next?”
Gu Ye asked seriously, “By ‘what we can’t see,’ do you mean ghosts?”
“Shh!” w.a.n.g Kai quickly shushed Gu Ye as if they were speaking about a taboo. “Don’t say that word. Our school used to be a ma.s.s grave. Be careful with what you say.”
From what Gu Ye could tell, this boy was well-built and also quite tall. He was a healthy young man, so he didn’t expect this boy to be so timid. “What are you afraid of? If those things dare to come, just take off your pants and pee on them. Virgin boys’ urine can ward off evil spirits.”
w.a.n.g Kai : “…”
Is this really Gu Ye? This is clearly a madman!

At the same time, a middle-aged man with a mustache in the shape of an inverted V wearing a weathered Taoist robe was in a square courtyard holding a talisman while chanting. Li ShengKai and his wife were standing near the wall, staring at the man with beads of sweat on their foreheads. After offending Gu DeCheng, the Hu Family had no chance of escaping unscathed. Hu Yu had made a grave mistake, and now the whole aristocratic circle knew that the Li ShengKai couple had offended the Gu Family. No one wanted to help, so the couple had no choice but to try and kill the Gu Family. First on the list was Gu DeCheng!
When the puppet with Gu DeCheng’s name written on it was thrown into the brazier, a meter-high fire immediately erupted and a blue light emerged from the twisted fire. The scene was strangely demented, but Li ShengKai’s eyes brightened. As long as Gu DeCheng died, half of his family would collapse. Gu DeCheng’s two promising sons, Gu Sen and Gu Lin, couldn’t fight against him. As for Gu Ye and Gu Yang, he automatically excluded them in his calculations.
Just when he thought that his wish had been fulfilled, the top of the flame flattened in an instant as if something was pressing down on it. The flame that was originally one meter tall became shorter and shorter, as if it was getting smothered. A bad premonition suddenly arose in Li ShengKai and his wife’s minds. The Taoist master’s expression wasn’t good either. He sped up his chanting with a tight expression, and his fingers gestures also increased in speed. The flame struggled unwillingly under the pressure, but it was futile.
At this time, a small golden light in the shape of a human figure emerged from the mouth of the stone lion at the gate of Gu Family’s house. Grabbing the black shadow that was approaching the gate, the figure tore the shadow in half.
At the same time, the brazier cracked with a banging sound!
“Blergh!” The Taoist master spat a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his face withered.
“Ah! Fire! Fire!” Li ShengKai and his wife were frightened by the sparks flying around and ran out regardless of the well-being of the Taoist master. In a blink of an eye, the courtyard caught on fire and the Taoist master also crawled toward the door, face pale. Before he could reach the door, however, a beam collapsed and fell on his head. The famous master’s eyes rolled upwards, and he was knocked unconscious on the spot. Inside the raging fire, the puppet with Gu DeCheng’s name laid quietly on the ground, surrounded by an invisible barrier, keeping it intact. Gradually, Gu DeCheng’s name on it disappeared, and the puppet soon turned into ashes.
Gu Ye sensed that the charm he left at home was activated, so he made some gestures with his fingers and started to calculate the events. The corner of his lips gradually curled up in a smile. People in their line of work aren’t allowed to harm people. Otherwise, they will be condemned by the heavens.
In the middle of the night when all the students were already asleep, a strong Yuan Qi gathered to form a dark ghost in the back field of the school. The ghost came to Gu Ye’s dorm and stuck to the window like a gecko. Someone pulled the curtain close before going to bed but didn’t do it properly, leaving a finger-wide gap in between the curtains. There were a pair of red eyes staring greedily at Xia Xiang, whose bed was on top of Gu Ye’s.
Gu Ye quietly opened his eyes and looked at the window. No wonder there was Sha Qi and Yuan Qi hidden in the school. There was actually such a big treasure hidden in this school.
