Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 181 Time to Part_1

"Can’t you help out?"

"How can I help? I’m suspended at home now, I can’t help even if I want to."

"You’re suspended? Why?"

"Because I spoke up for him. I’ve been temporarily suspended until a decision from above comes through."

Teacher Yan sighed and said softly,

"Sorry..."

"It’s fine, this is a good opportunity to rest."

"Do you think... he will really be expelled?"

"Probably... after all, Elder Li said so."

"Sigh... I hope he won’t end up resenting Great Xia..."

"Let’s hope not..."

"The stuff I left at your place, I’ll take it with me next time I sneak back～"

After packing up his things, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen, who sat on the bed watching Feng Yuan and was silent for a while before speaking,

"Are you leaving now?"

"In the morning, I guess. Tomorrow morning. It’s rare to skip class so blatantly～"

Xiao Ji stayed obediently in Feng Yuan’s arms, gently rubbing its head against him. After petting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked at Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,

"Get ready too, I’ll take you back to Sleepy Dragon Valley tomorrow morning."

"Roar!"

"I promised I’d take you back, and I’ll make sure to do it. Better to send you back now while we still have time, otherwise it’ll get complicated."

"Roar!"

Dreaming Dragon Baby coiled around Feng Yuan’s arm, protesting, while Agunas was still recording something, occasionally looking up at Feng Yuan. Najia stood worriedly at the window gazing at Feng Yuan.

"You guys have been arguing for so long and still no conclusion?"

"Old Li, this is clearly your problem, why toss it onto us?"

Elder Li looked at those people with a headache, as no one would concede to the other, and they couldn’t agree on a decision regarding Feng Yuan’s fate. Then, the Grand Elder, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said,

"The Divine Beast that launched the attack is called Agunas, right?"

"Yes."

"And he is not the Divine Pact Maker of Agunas, is he?"

"Correct."

"So what exactly are you all hesitating about? Just apply the protocol for handling Divine Beasts, right?"

"But..."

"Come on, come on, come on! Elder Xing! That’s not right! Agunas clearly attacked on his orders, how can you treat it as a normal Divine Beast attack!"

An elder questioned, and the Grand Elder calmly said to him,

"Then, can you command a Divine Beast?"

"No! But that’s not the point!"

"Since Agunas obeyed his command, regardless of coercion, it proves that the other party had the intention, and since he did not act himself in the end, according to the law, it only qualifies as a Divine Beast attack."

"But..."

Seeing the Grand Elder’s uncompromising demeanor, the other party fell silent. As no one else objected, the Grand Elder paused before saying,

"Of course, he should still be punished for his actions, as the crime of instigating a Divine Beast to attack the city cannot be escaped. However, considering his main intention was good, and he didn’t cause too much damage, I suggest we make him an auxiliary special squad member on weekends and deduct a part from his salary as disciplinary action."

"That’s too..."

"Let’s report it this way, the specifics of enforcement will depend on how they consider it."

The Grand Elder said with a sigh, and Elder Li fell silent for a long time, copied the meeting minutes, and left. An elder, puzzled, said,

"Why are you being so lenient with him? Aren’t you the one who hates those who disrupt order the most?"

"Those people have been making too much noise. Who among you has time to go out with me for a stroll?"

Just as that elder was about to say something more, the person next to him pulled him aside and whispered,

"Stop it, don’t you remember what happened before... for the sake of revenge..."

Seeing the Grand Elder’s gaze sweep over, the man immediately shut his mouth. The old man sighed as he thought of that bloody night, shook his head, and continued walking down the corridor. The Grand Elder was reminiscing about something when he suddenly stopped and looked at the old guard emerging from the shadows, saying,

"Do you need something from me?"

"I’m afraid you all might do something foolish, so I came to check."

"You’re quite bold..."

"It’s best not to chase him away."

"Are you pleading on his behalf?"

"I’m doing what’s best for you. He still feels a sense of belonging to Great Xia. If you push him out..."

The old guard paused, looking at his open right hand and clenching it as if trying to grasp something, then sighed and shook his head.

"What exactly do you know? Does he have anything to do with you?"

"No, I don’t know about his origins, but that Divine Beast called Agunas was active during the Mythical Era. Back then, its strength was comparable to that of Lorraine Tower."

After saying this, the old guard turned and disappeared into the shadows. The Grand Elder stood silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said,

"I hope you won’t become the next one like you..."

"Ugh... What’s going on..."

Woken by Qi Chen, Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes with discontent and said, to which Qi Chen replied apologetically,

"Sorry, we wanted to see you off, but you’re leaving early this morning, so..."

Feng Yuan glanced at the time on his phone with resignation and said,

"It’s only six o’clock, do you plan to skip class today..."

"If it weren’t for you, this jerk, insisting on leaving at the crack of dawn, do you think I’d want to!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Pei Yu’s voice, Feng Yuan turned his head in confusion. Not only was Pei Yu there, but Zhong Liuyan and Dou Yanlan had also arrived. Chen Xin and Bai You stood behind the others, looking at Feng Yuan, who scratched his head, stood up, and asked, puzzled,

"Why are all of you here?"

"You actually thought you could sneak away quietly; don’t you know everyone should gather for a meal before parting!"

"Sorry, I couldn’t be of any help..."

Seeing Zhong Liuyan with an apologetic look, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"It’s not your fault; after all, the Elder Council intervened."

"Although you’re being forced to leave due to a mistake, you’re still a member of our class. As class president, it’s my duty to see you off."

"Moreover, have you thought about where you’ll go? If not, I can help you arrange something. I have contacts in Andu City in Chenyue; they can help you settle in, and enrolling in school won’t be a problem."

Feng Yuan looked at Chen Xin, laughed, and shook his head. Pei Yu, growing impatient, said,

"Come on, hurry up and wash up. We’ll wait for you outside; I’ve already reserved a breakfast table."

Smiling and shaking his head, Feng Yuan said to the Dreaming Dragon Baby,

"You get ready too."

"Argh..."

The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked at Feng Yuan reluctantly. After patting its head, Feng Yuan turned to go wash up. After changing his clothes, Feng Yuan came out and talked with everyone as they walked to the school gates. Early in the morning, the street outside the school was empty. Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"I hope the place isn’t too far. Don’t want to make you all late for class."

"It’s just down the alley."

"Eh? Is that..."

Seeing Feng Yuan walk out followed by the group, Meng Binglan, standing at the school gates, frowned, sighed, and came forward to give Feng Yuan a slip of paper, whispering in his ear,

"I couldn’t do anything about your situation; he wouldn’t help me squash it. Lay low outside for a while, and in a couple of years, I’ll see if I can find a chance to suppress this matter for you. That number is a good friend’s; although you have a good relationship with the Divine Beasts, you can’t stay away from human society."

"If you need anything, just call that number. Given my face, they should be willing to help you."

After giving instructions and turning to leave, Meng Binglan watched as Feng Yuan put the paper away, scratching his head. Qi Chen, puzzled, looked at Meng Binglan’s retreating figure and asked,

"What was she doing here?"

"Consider it a send-off."

Feng Yuan smiled faintly, tightening his grip on Xiao Ji’s hand. Xiao Ji struggled a bit in protest. Although the food Pei Yu had chosen was delicious, the spirits at the table weren’t high, and everyone occasionally cursed those bandits who steal others’ Spirit Beasts. On returning to school, Feng Yuan said to everyone,

"Go to class—I have to leave—may we meet again if fate allows."

After a moment of silence, Qi Chen patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder, turned, and hurried to class. Feng Yuan, with his Spirit Beast, leisurely made his way back to the dormitory.
