Chapter 107: Chapter 107 - The Punishment Of Qian Ran And The Others

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qian Ran’s eyes darted around. He still wanted to quibble, but he suddenly thought of something:

“Elder Zhou, we were just joking with Fool Li. In the end, this kid came out and scolded us without any reason. He even wanted to attack. We had no choice but to fight back. We were really wronged. Elder, please understand.”

“Joking?” Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen someone who could twist the truth so much.

“Then I’ll joke with you like that too. I’ll trick you into eating mud and also beat you up if you don’t want to. You even made him crawl through your crotch. Are you telling me that this is a joke?”

As Lin Bai said each word, no one noticed that Zhou Zhengqing’s face was getting darker and darker.

Qian Ran refused to admit it. “Just like what elder Zhou said, empty words and no evidence. What right do you have to accuse me? If you have the ability, show me the evidence.”

He had thought it through very well. At that time, only they, Lin Bai, and the fool were there. He would definitely not have let the cat out of the bag. What did that fool know? He might have gone crazy and forgotten about it.

Qian Ran’s little plan was cracking. As long as they insisted that it was a joke, Lin Bai would make a mountain out of a molehill. If he wanted to show off and be a hero, then he could push all the blame onto Lin Bai.

“Since you guys aren’t willing to admit it, and you’re asking me for evidence, then fine, let’s let fool Li confront you face to face.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud when they heard that. Those who had stayed in the Alchemist Association for a long time all knew that fool Li was crazy, and his speech was incoherent. Most importantly, his memory was extremely poor. Sometimes, he would forget about the things that happened today, the next day.

“Hahaha, did I hear wrongly? He actually asked a fool to come and confront him.”

“Should I say that he is too naive, or that he was infected by fool Li and became as stupid as him? What could a fool know? What he said were all crazy words. How could anyone believe it?”

This sentence played right into Qian Ran’s hands. He said fearlessly, “Alright, let’s get fool Li to come over.”

Fool Li often wandered around, and didn’t stay in a fixed location. He would often come depending on his mood. Sometimes, he would not see anyone all day long, and sometimes, he would run around randomly. No one could understand him.

However, Lin Bai and the others were very lucky this time. Fool Li was squatting in the herbal field with his head lowered as if he was looking for something. He kept muttering something, “Come out, I see you. You did all this, right? Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

Seeing Lin Bai’s arrival, he was extremely excited. He grabbed his hand and said excitedly, “Big senior brother, there’s a treasure, there’s a treasure.” Halfway through his words, he started mumbling to himself. No one could understand what he was saying.

Qian Ran and the others couldn’t help but snicker when they saw this scene. It would really be a miracle if that fool li could confront them like this.

Fool Li was immersed in his own world. Then, he suddenly shouted and pointed at everyone. “I know! It must be because you guys came that you scared it away. You guys should leave quickly. Leave quickly.”

He made a gesture to chase them away and then started to dance. Everyone could not help but look at each other. How could his words be credible.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at fool Li in front of him. He did not know why, but he was a little stunned. This absent-mindedness was not noticed by anyone, only Lin Bai noticed it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Bai said, “Tell this elder Zhou what happened yesterday.”

It was strange. As soon as Lin Bai spoke, fool Li became quiet. He shook his finger as if he was thinking about a serious problem.

Qian Ran could not help but mock, “You really expect a fool to –”

Before he could finish, he heard fool Li’s clear voice, “Yesterday, he tricked me into eating mud, beat me, and even made me crawl through a dog hole.”

His words were clear, organized, and did not stumble at all. It was a world of difference from retarded words he spoke just now. For a moment, everyone thought that they were hearing things.

What he said just now did not seem like something a fool could say, especially when he described Qian Ran’s crotch as a dog hole. Everyone almost laughed out loud.

Qian Ran looked at him in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. He stood there for a long time, unable to speak. “You!”

Lin Bai helped him up. “What else do you have to say?”

Qian Ran said dryly, “You can’t believe the words of a fool like elder Zhou. He’s crazy and his words are just made up.”

Zhou Zhengqing looked at him with disdain. “You can’t be thinking that a fool can frame you, right? How can he be so capable to make up a story to frame you? And he can be so logical and speak clearly.”

“What if he was ordered by someone? It’s not impossible...”

Under Zhou Zhengqing’s cold gaze, Qian Ran’s voice became softer and softer.

A fool framing someone. This matter sounded very ridiculous.

“Alright, you guys don’t have any evidence to prove that Lin Bai did it. This matter ends here. When you guys have found the evidence, come to the law enforcement hall to settle this matter.”

Perhaps it was Lin Bai’s misconception, but Zhou Zhengqing’s attitude towards this matter was originally ambiguous and didn’t side with neither of them. However, after hearing about the matter with fool Li, he gradually sided with Lin Bai.

Qian Ran and the rest never expected such an outcome. They said in disbelief, “Then wouldn’t our herbal field have been lost for nothing?”

“All of you don’t have any evidence. Not only are you stirring up trouble here, you are also framing others and even bullying the weak.. Go back and each of you are punished to copy the rules ten times.”
