Not participating in military training was no a big crime, but it was not small either.
They would be given a verbal lecture at best if it was a normal middle school.
However, it was intolerable for the relatively strict martial arts academy like Lijoann.
Skipping class meant disobeying management.
This went against the academy's teaching philosophy, and the consequences immediately became serious.
Li Tongwu and the others did not realize this and were caught signing in on behalf of Linbai.
It couldn't be helped. It was too obvious.
There were 50 people in a team, and they lined up in five rows. The instructor could tell at a glance that someone was absent.
It was useless to help.
This directly led to the situation where all the members of Dorm 3609 were pulled to the field to be publicized and died on the spot.
In the end, he was still a young man who had never been in society.
The three of them were so frightened by the Awakened aura released by the instructor that they couldn't even speak. The excuses they had thought of in advance vanished from their minds.
"Where is he now?"
The instructor's expression was unusually serious.
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be planning to conduct a strict investigation.
The Li twins kept their eyes straight ahead and remained silent.
Even though they looked calm on the surface, they were actually panicking inside. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were at a loss.
Wei Qing, who was at the side, was already frightened. He, who was already introverted, subconsciously buried his head in his chest, trying to reduce his presence.
That kind of reverence towards experts caused his huge body to tremble slightly.
Even so, the burly young man still had no intention of opening his mouth.
He could not betray his friends!
His father had taught him so!
"I didn't expect them to be so loyal."
The instructor placed his hands behind his back and said in a serious tone, "Do you know the consequences of covering up for another?"
As he spoke, he paused for a moment and said, "Hurry up and tell me if you don't want to cause your good brother to bear four times the punishment. If there's a reason, perhaps I'll forgive you once on account that you've just entered the academy and don't know the rules."
The three boys looked at each other and exchanged glances, as if they were considering.
The instructor was not in a hurry and let them make a choice.
"The sooner you confess, the sooner you can resolve it. You can cover it up for now, but you can't cover it up forever. I can go to dormitory 3609 at any time. He can't never return to the dormitory, right?"
Li Tongwu and the others instantly fell silent.
Just as the instructor had said, the few of them would not be able to hide it as long as the school wanted to investigate this matter.
Half a minute later, Li Tongwu asked tentatively.
"Would writing a book… be considered a reason?"
"Writing a book?"
The instructor frowned. "What book?"
"A novel!" Li Tongwu took out his phone and flipped to the front page of the novel. He gestured to the instructor. "This is it."
The instructor immediately walked over and crossed the heat-filled plastic track to the center of the lawn. He took the phone and glanced at it.
Heavenly Dao Record
Introduction: Kill all the villains in the world and sweep away all the injustices in the world. Use martial arts to prove the Dao and break the heavens with strength!
The instructor, who had never come into contact with novels, fell silent.
… What the f*ck?
Li Tongwu smiled awkwardly and explained, "The military training is too tiring. We're afraid that Brother Lin won't have the energy to write books after participating… It's all my fault. Instructor, I really want to read the update chapters, so I came up with such a bad idea. I told Brother Lin not to come. If you want to punish me, punish me."
"Human society is in danger, and you guys still have the mood to write novels and read novels? Is your talent for fun? Wasting your time and not doing your job is simply letting down the academy's nurturing!"
The instructor was furious. "If you don't want to cultivate, why spend so much money to come here to further your studies? To treat the academy as your shelter? Can the academy protect you for the rest of your lives?!"
Li Tongwu looked ashamed.
What the instructor said made sense. He was powerless to refute.
"All of you, hand over your phones. It won't be as simple as confiscating your phones if I find you reading during training again."
The instructor took a deep breath. He had already treated the actions of the people in Dorm 3609 as a vicious incident. "I'll report this matter to the principal and ask him to make a final decision!"
It was understandable if they were just sick or lazy.
However, now that there was a problem with their thoughts and principles, he could not tolerate it anymore.
He had to deal with it!
At the same time, he would sound the alarm for the other new students who had such thoughts!
"I-Instructor… But Brother Lin is very powerful… I feel that he wouldn't improve much after participating in the military training. He might as well write books in peace…"
Seeing that the matter was getting more and more serious, Li Tongwen could only muster his courage and say.
"Powerful?"
The instructor sneered and threw the pointer in his hand angrily.
"Bam!"
The lawn under his feet was instantly sent flying. Dust flew everywhere, revealing a half-meter deep gully.
"So powerful that even I can't teach him anything?"
The instructor was so angry that he laughed instead. "Go and call him over now! I want to see what kind of 'genius' he is today!"
Li Tongwen instantly regretted speaking!
…
A few minutes later, in the internet cafe's private room.
"Oh no, Brother Lin! The truth has been exposed!"
Li Tongwu and the other two pushed the door open and entered anxiously.
Lin Bai yawned and narrowed his eyes. He could roughly guess what had happened looking at their sweaty and nervous expressions.
"Did the instructor realize that I didn't participate in the military training and asked me to go over immediately?"
They all nodded.
Wei Qing whispered, "The instructor said that he's going to report this to the principal now and ask the school to deal with this matter, Brother Lin…"
"I feel like I'm going to be punished."
Li Tongwu looked like he was about to cry. "It's all my fault. Brother Lin, I asked you to skip class to continue writing the novel… Now… Sigh…"
Li Tongwen's face was full of guilt. "I accidentally caused trouble. Brother Lin, the instructor seems to be planning to teach you a lesson personally…"
"It's fine. It's just a small problem."
Lin Bai was calm and composed. He casually pointed at the empty seat beside him. "Take a seat first. You must be exhausted after training for so long. Let's enjoy the air conditioner first. If you want to drink, take it yourself. I bought a lot."
Li Tongwu and the others felt a little more at ease, seeing how calm he was.
"Then… Brother Lin, what do you plan to do?"
"Nothing much. Let's sleep first."
Lin Bai yawned. "Wake me up in three hours."
"Huh?" Li Tongwu's facial muscles twitched. "That instructor is very fierce. He said that he wants you to go over now…"
"Did you tell him where I was?"
"No…"
"That's it."
Lin Bai lay completely on the soft sofa. "The academy is so big. It takes an hour or two to stroll around. What's wrong with us going over later?"
As he spoke, his voice gradually became low. "I'll rest first… I'll go to the field to stand as punishment when the sun isn't that scorching."
The three of them looked at each other.
Their publicly acknowledged dormitory brother seemed to have a strange brain circuit…
In fact, Lin Bai wanted to use this opportunity to recuperate.
When the two newly obtained martial arts merged into his body, they absorbed a lot of internal power.
He did not have the capital to compete with the instructor now that he was empty.
He was not that honest a person to allow the instructor to deal with him as he pleased.
You have to have the ability to be able to teach me a lesson!
