Chapter 1149: Poison Tongue Strikes
In the days that followed, Ji You and his classmates continued their routine training. After confirming the 10 students representing the 131st cohort in the inter-school competition, Teacher Mu Jianling seemed to have completely forgotten about it. He neither mentioned it in class nor conducted special training for the 10 participants, adopting an attitude of "let fate take its course."
After emphasizing the importance of the competition results to the 10 participants, Teacher Mu Jianling didn’t provide any additional training, but rather maintained a laid-back attitude. This wasn’t just puzzling to outsiders; even the students of the 131st cohort couldn’t hold back. After class that day, Zhang Ye couldn’t restrain himself any longer, stood up, and loudly asked, "Teacher... with less than 5 days left until the inter-school competition, shouldn’t you be giving Ji You and his peers some special guidance?"
Mu Jianling asked, "What kind of guidance?"
Isn’t that asking the obvious? Zhang Ye was taken aback, explaining, "Teacher, aren’t you worried that Ji You and the others won’t get a good ranking? With so many schools in the Alliance, and so many top competitors involved, shouldn’t they be intensifying their practice right now? We can’t just leave Ji You and the others to practice on their own. Teacher, you should provide them with special guidance."
"Oh?" Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, "I still don’t understand what kind of guidance you’re asking about?"
"..." Zhang Ye was left speechless, finally replying, "The kind of guidance that would help them achieve a ranking in the competition."
Mu Jianling had a sudden realization, with a ’now I get it’ expression, then she squinted slightly and said, "None."
Zhang Ye almost choked, truly lost for words.
All the students in the 131st cohort’s Combat Department raised their heads, staring intently at Teacher Mu Jianling. The expressions on their faces were indescribable upon hearing that.
This—
This—Is Teacher Mu afraid that our school won’t lose? Is that why she’s deliberately discouraging the contestants?
As these thoughts crossed their minds, Mu Jianling glanced at the students, focusing on Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... and she spread her hands, looking like she wasn’t joking, saying, "Truly none."
