Ye Zhiqiu returned to the Martial Arts Academy that night and traced the source, finding Hu Lai and Hu Kan.
According to her investigation, all the various rumors about Chu Xisheng within the academy originated from these two brothers.
She called them to her own classroom, then stood with her arms crossed over her chest and a disapproving look as she glared at the two.
"Speak! Who told you to spread all those baseless rumors?"
Hu Kan's plump face was covered in sweat, and his character 8-shaped eyebrows drooped like worms as he asked with utmost trepidation, "Instructor, may I ask what you refer to as 'baseless rumors' exactly?"
"I'm talking about Chu Xisheng!" Ye Zhiqiu tapped the desk with her finger, raising her tone, "Who asked you to spread rumors about him?"
At that, Hu Lai and Hu Kan exchanged glances, both wearing odd expressions.
