Chapter 16: Returning to School
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After taking a seven-day break, Jian Yiling was to return to school.
Today was Monday.
At this time, the most popular post on Shenghua High School's forum was still the one that talked about Jian Yunnao's injury. The one which said that the culprit was Jian Yiling.
It was because Jian Yiling didn't come to school for an entire week that caused everyone to wonder whether Jian Yiling had been expelled by the school
[Jian Yiling did not attend school on the seventh day. It seems that it is even more likely that she has been expelled.]
[If I were her, I wouldn't have the face to even come back to school.]
[That's true. How could she do that to her brother? That sort of person is not worth being alive. It is such a pity that a talented individual such as Jian Yunnao had such a thing happen to him. I wanted to hear him play the piano again at the literature and art event.]

[All the brothers in the Jian family are all outstanding. I don't know how Jian Yiling was brought up]
[She's the embarrassment of the Jian family. She's the rat poop that ruined an entire pot of porridge for the family!]

On the way to school, Jian Yiling sat at the back seat with her laptop on her lap. She quickly scrolled down the news on the campus forum.

At this time, a new message popped up on the computer.
[Dr. F.S., when would you have time to meet? We are very interested in the content that you have provided to us. However, you also know that we can't believe you based on purely communicating online.]
Jian Yiling quickly typed out a reply: [Not available for the time being. If there is a problem, contact me online. I have submitted relevant papers to the CNS already.]
Soon, the other party replied: [It takes the CNS around three months to go from auditing to publishing. That is too slow. If you have another way to prove to us, that could save us a lot of time.]
It could be seen that the other party viewed the matter as pressing.
If Jian Yiling was the talented individual that they needed, then it would be best for them to contact Jian Yiling offline immediately. It would be better for them to directly recruit her into their team.
Jian Yiling replied: [Apologies, I have other things to deal with right now.]
The other party was silent for a moment before they replied to Jian Yiling: [Okay, let's maintain in contact online then.]
They would have to at least maintain in contact with her online.
[Okay.]
After replying to the message, Jian Yiling closed her laptop and tucked it into her school bag.

The driver sent Jian Yiling to the school gate and she got off the car.
The autumn sunlight that shone on her body was quite warm. Jian Yiling carried her bag and walked inside.
Jian Yiling's appearance at school immediately attracted the attention of the students around her.
Because of the incident of her pushing someone, Jian Yiling was coined the term 'malicious sister' by everyone in the Shenghua High School.
When they saw her appear, everyone's expressions became strange. From time to time, they would look at Jian Yiling. The look they gave was either one of curiosity or hostility.
Mo Shiyun also got off the bus at around the same time. A student next to her immediately grabbed at Mo Shiyun.
"Shiyun Shiyun, Jian Yiling returned to school! You have a good relationship with Jian Yunnao. Do you know why Jian Yiling pushed her brother? And how come she can return to school unscathed? Does her family not care?"
Mo Shiyun smiled lightly, "I'm sorry. I don't know much about this matter. But if I were the Jian family, I would want this major thing to become small. And small things to become trivial."

After listening to Mo Shiyun's words, the student nodded. They thought that her words were very reasonable.
"You're right. I've heard that the Jian family has always favored Jian Yiling more than her brothers. And now, what I have heard seems true. Even if she deliberately hurts her brother, she can still come back to school without anything happening to her."
Chapter 17: You're So Much Better Than Jian Yiling
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Although the female classmate didn't hear about how Jian Yiling was treated by the Jian family, she concluded from Mo Shiyun's words that it was Jian Yiling who pushed Jian Yunnao down the stairs.
The female classmate was called Zhu Sha. She was in the same class as Mo Shiyun and Jian Yunnao. Zhu Sha was the representative of the final year experimental class. Her literature grades were exceptional and her other grades were good as well. Although her appearance was average, she had a good relation with Mo Shiyun.
Zhu Sha liked Jian Yunnao. She had previously wanted to get close to Jian Yunnao through Jian Yiling as she was his sister. If she got along with his sister, then her relationship would become closer to Jian Yunnao.
However, Jian Yiling didn't care about her at all. She wasn't even polite about telling her to stop thinking about her brother.
Of course, Zhu Sha was not convinced. Why was she called delusional for liking Jian Yunnao? Did Jian Yiling even look at herself in the mirror!
1
Not only did Zhu Sha fail to get closer to Jian Yunnao through Jian Yiling. She also became super angry.
And thus, Zhu Sha approached Mo Shiyun.
Compared to Jian Yiling whose temper was akin to a demon, Mo Shiyun's character could be regarded as an angel.

Zhu Sha asked Mo Shiyun, "Oh right, Shiyun, do you think that we can go visit Jian Yunnao? There are a lot of students in the class that prepared a card for him. However, the only one in the class who still is in contact with Yunnao is you. You're the only one who knows which hospital and ward he is staying in."
Mo Shiyun replied, "Jian Yunnao probably doesn't want everyone to visit him right now. It would be better for him to get some rest."

Mo Shiyun knew Zhu Sha's thoughts. However, she didn't want Zhu Sha to affect Jian Yunnao's mood. It was not worth to ruin her relationship with Jian Yunnao just for Zhu Sha's wishes.
Zhu Sha was a bit disappointed. "Then, could you at least take the card that we prepared for Jian Yunnao? We won't visit him just yet as we might disturb him."
Mo Shiyun could see that Zhu Sha wasn't very happy. She reassured her and said, "Wait for a few days. When he is in a better mood, I'll ask him and see if I can organize a time where everyone can visit him on the weekends."
Zhu Shu immediately became incredibly happy. "Shiyun, you're awesome! You're so much better than Jian Yiling. Not only in appearance and academics, but you're also better in personality by miles!"

Mo Shiyun smiled, "Don't let her hear you say that."
Zhu Sha hummed disdainfully. "So what if she hears? Everyone in the school knows what sort of viper she is. Everyone in the school is going to scold her! If she is going to get revenge on everyone who scolds her, I'm afraid that there wouldn't be many people left in the school."
If it was before, Zhu Sha would be a bit careful with talking about Jian Yiling. However, she didn't care at all right now. When she scolded Jian Yiling right now, it was helping her idol vent anger.
Zhu Sha whispered in Mo Shiyun's ear, "Shiyun, just you watch! If Jian Yiling dares to come back to school, she will be punished!"
Mo Shiyun looked at Zhu Sha, her expression one of curiosity, "What do you know?"
Zhu Sha smiled mysteriously, "I've heard the news for a long time. Sister Qiu has already released the news and she wants to avenge Jian Yunnao."
Sister Qiu was Qiu Yizhen. She was the daughter of the chairman in Shenghua High School. At the same time, she was the tyrant of Shenghua High School. It didn't matter whether the student was male or female, everyone would call her 'Sister Qiu'.

Jian Yunnao had a fan group in the school and the president of this group was Sister Qiu.
Sister Qiu was furious that Jian Yunnao's hands were ruined and he could potentially never be able to play the piano again.
It seemed as though that Jian Yiling was going to suffer a lot when she returned to school.
Chapter 18: Big Sister Qiu

Shenghua High School was the best private school in Hengyuan City. If one could go there to study, they either had amazing grades or they had substantial family backing and good circumstances.
Mo Shiyun belonged to the category that had amazing academics whilst Jian Yiling belonged to the one who had good family circumstances.
The other type was individuals such as Jian Yiling's brother Jian Yunnao. An individual who had amazing academics and good family conditions.
Jian Yiling was in her first year of senior school. She had just started school in September.
Unlike Jian Yunnao and Mo Shiyun who were in the accelerated/selective stream, Jian Yiling was part of the normal stream. Even in that stream, she would rank last.
When Jian Yiling arrived in Classroom 8, there were already a lot of students in the room.
Upon seeing Jian Yiling, everyone showed a surprised expression.
Jian Yiling didn't care about them. She walked straight to her seat.
However, she saw that there were a lot of things that were on her desk.
And the things that belonged to her had disappeared.

Jian Yiling saw that her belongings were scattered in the junk cupboard at the back of the classroom.
All of a sudden, the mood of the classroom froze.
Jian Yiling's eyes fell on the person who shared a desk with her.
That person nervously explained, "No, it wasn't me, it was Sister Qiu! Sister Qiu brought people over. I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
For the person who shared the desk with her, both Sister Qiu and Jian Yiling were not people she wanted to mess with.
Jian Yiling knew who Sister Qiu was. In the original novel, Sister Qiu had a good relationship with the female lead Mo Shiyun. Although this relationship wasn't reflected much in high school, it was evident in society. When Mo Shiyun had entered the society, Sister Qiu had been a great friend and helped Mo Shiyun solve several of her troubles.
Mo Shiyun's character was a girl who was incredibly good at understanding others and one who had good relations with everyone.

From her position of being a maid's daughter to her later position, there were a lot of people that helped her.
And when you speak about the devil, he arrives.
Once Qiu Yizhen received the news, she quickly arrived at the classroom through the backdoor. Her followers had stormed in with her.
As soon as she saw Jian Yiling, she came charging at her with a ferocious expression.

Qiu Yizhen was tall amongst the girls. She had short hair, a wide face, and regular features.
1
She wore studs on one of her ears. It was the type that you could remove at any time. Whenever there was a teacher, she would take it off. However, when the teacher was out of sight, she would wear it again. She had quite a temper.
Everyone in the classroom automatically stepped back. They kept their distance with Sister Qiu and were afraid to provoke her.
The person who shared a desk with Jian Yiling instantly shrank to the side. Their expression was super nervous.
"Jian Yiling, how dare you come back to school? Your brother has been hurt by you and you still dare to come back to school? Do you even have a conscience? You should get lost so I don't even have to see you again!"
2
Jian Yiling had no expression on her face. She reacted the same way as she had to Jian Yunnao. She remained calm and collected.
"Who told you that I pushed him?"
She asked this question for the previous Jian Yiling.
In the face of overwhelming abuse and bullying, Jian Yiling in the previous life had not asked this question.
"What do you mean who told me that I pushed him? Everyone in the school knows that you pushed him!"
"If everyone in the school knows, then who actually saw, with their own eyes? And does anyone have the evidence?"

Jian Yiling's tone was calm. She said a word at a time and Qiu Yizhen didn't know how to reply.
Qiu Yizhen thought about it carefully. Everyone in the school knew that Jian Yiling pushed him however, there was no one who actually stood up and said that they had seen it with their own eyes.
However, Qiu Yizhen was not willing to back off and be fooled by Jian Yiling. "Don't think that you can get rid of your suspicion without a witness!"
"Slamâ"
Jian Yiling's right hand slammed onto the desk. The desk vibrated. The sound wasn't too loud nor too quiet. However, it was just enough for everyone in the quiet classroom to hear it.
Immediately after, Jian Yiling's left hand reached for a set of scalpels from her bag.
Chapter 19: Gamble a Hand
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
"What are you doing? Why did you bring a knife to school?" Although Qiu Yizhen was quite unreasonable, she would still never bring a knife to school.
Jian Yiling didn't answer Qiu Yizhen's question. She held the knife in her left hand and pointed at her right hand.
"Let's gamble a hand."
What the hell? Gamble a hand? Was she mad?
Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she continued, "Show me evidence and this hand is for yours to cut; If not, your hand is for me to cut off."

Jian Yiling's voice was slightly childish and would be considered even slightly sweet. However, the words that she said were quite scary.
She held the scalpel in her left hand and it stayed suspended ten centimeters above her right wrist. It seemed as though she was ready to cut down as it at any time.
Although her words were soft and weak, the way she did things had a force that Qiu Yizhen didn't have.
"You're sick!" Qiu Yizhen said. She felt as though Jian Yiling was crazy.
Everyone else also widened their eyes in surprise. Jian Yiling's actions were frightening.

The person who shared the desk with Jian Yiling was also at a loss of what to do.
"If you have evidence, there will be no need to be afraid. The one who is going to lose their hand is me. Or is it, that you don't have evidence? Are you lacking confidence?"
Jian Yiling's clear eyes gazed in the direction of Qiu Yizhen.
Qiu Yizhen looked at these eyes and suddenly felt a sense of panic.
What was this situation?
Although Jian Yiling remained the same person, compared to the individual from before, she still behaved brashly. However, now, her words were more moderate.
However, why did Qiu Yizhen feel her heartbeat rapidly increase in front of this calm and collected Jian Yiling? She had never felt it before.
"I..." Qiu Yizhen stammered as she felt annoyed in her heart. There were so many pairs of eyes watching her. If she said that she didn't dare to take the bet, she would lose respect.
However, if she were to bet with Jian Yiling, if she lost, wouldn't that make her lose respect even more.
How would everyone listen to her afterward?
"Sister Qiu, we don't need to gamble with her. Let's go report to the school. She brought a knife to school!"

Her follower beside her gave Qiu Yizhen that idea.
Qiu Yizhen listened to it and thought that it made a lot of sense.
She nearly listened and got lost in Jian Yiling's words!
And thus, Qiu Yizhen left with her followers.
They disappeared in an instant and everyone else in Class 8 remained dumbfounded.
Was this it?
Did Qiu Yizhen really just admit defeat?
Following this, they looked at Jian Yiling with doubtful eyes.
Could it be that the person who injured Jian Yunnao was not her?
After Qiu Yizhen left, Jian Yiling calmly put away her knife.
Not long after, the Head of Teaching arrived.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The Head of Teaching was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had little hair and his hairline almost reached the top of his head.
He had a thin body and narrow eyes.
In the minds of all the students of the school, he was given the nicknames, 'Ghosts avoid him' and 'Avoid him at all costs'.
As soon as Class 8 saw the Head of Teaching, they immediately went back to their seats for the fear that they would be called out for doing something wrong.
Qiu Yizhen and her followers followed after the Head of Teaching.
It was time for self-study in the morning. Everyone else in the grade was lively, yet Class 8 remained silent.
"Student Jian Yiling, I heard that you brought a knife to school?"
The Head of Teaching narrowed his eyes and looked at Jian Yiling. His expression wasn't very kind.
The incident related to Jian Yiling was rather large in Shenghua High School. The teachers couldn't help but know about.
However, the Jian family had told the school that their child had gotten sick and needed rest. And thus, it was not good for the school to ask again.
Chapter 20: This is Candy
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
"Do you know that it is illegal to bring a knife to school? The school rules of Shenghua High School clearly state that students are not allowed to bring dangerous knives into the school. Anyone who violates this will be punished!"
The Head of Teaching's expression was strict.
"I didn't bring a knife," Jian Yiling replied.
"Didn't bring a knife? How dare you say that you didn't bring a knife?" Qiu Yizheng was furious. "We all saw you take out a knife just then, and it was an entire set! And now you're pretending to be innocent! Who are you lying to?"
The Head of Teaching was well aware of Jian Yiling's character. Although she appeared to be innocent, she was, in fact, the one who pushed her brother down the stairs.

The Head of Teaching attempted to persuade Jian Yiling to cooperate. "Student Jian Yiling, if you hand your knife over, I'll give you a lighter punishment. However, if you are stubborn, don't blame me if I call your parents."
Jian Yiling took out the box of scalpels that she had just stored away in the drawer.
"Yes, yes, that is the box! Teacher, that black bag stores her scalpels!" Qiu Yizhen prompted at once.
"Student Jian Yiling, hand me this bag." The Head of Teaching said quickly.
"It's candy." Jian Yiling replied.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Candy?
That's ridiculous!
"Who are you bluffing? Do you think I haven't eaten candy? It's obviously a knife!" Qiu Yizhen said as she rolled her eyes. Why would she make such a lie when death is at hand.
The Head of Teaching said in a 'meaningful and heartfelt manner', "Student Jian Yiling, if you continue speaking nonsense, this incident won't be as simple as you bringing a knife to school without permission. People can be forgiven for doing something wrong once. However, if you are to do something wrong repeatedly, no one will be kind enough to forgive them."
The Head of Teaching was quietly implying the incident of which Jian Yiling pushed Jian Yunnao off the stairs.

Jian Yiling didn't explain. In front of everyone, Jian Yiling pulled out a 'scalpel' and put it into her mouth...
Everyone in the classroom got scared, what was Jian Yiling doing?
The person who got especially scared was the person who shared a desk with Jian Yiling. She cried out, "Jian Yiling, don't take things badly!"
Then, everyone heard a 'crunch' sound. The 'knife' that was put in Jian Yiling's mouth broke.

Broke!
It actually broke, just like that!

It was evident that it wasn't made out of metal.
Jian Yiling explained whilst licking the candy. "This is candy, it's made out of granulated sugar, glucose, or malt sugar. After being mixed, simmered, pulled and blown, it can be made into the shape of a knife."

Although this sugar knife looked especially sharp, it wouldn't be able to cut anything.
What Jian Yiling was talking about was 'sugar art'.
1
It was a must-have item in the international West Point competition.
There were all sorts of flowers, animals, and characters that were made out of sugar. For Jian Yiling to use this art form to make a 'scalpel', was a first.
Although it looked simple to make a scalpel, the difficulty was definitely not low. It was necessary to mix the pigments into a metallic color and make sure that it did not appear transparent in a very thin state.
Jian Yiling picked up another 'scalpel' and smashed it onto the desk. The blade shattered in sugar pieces.
Everyone in the class was in shock.
The one who was most in shock was Qiu Yizhen who went to look for the Head of Teaching.
They spent half a day on this and it was candy?

It was candy?! Edible sugar!?
At that moment, Qiu Yizhen thought that she was a joke.
The expression on the Head of Teaching's face was ugly.
