388: Chapter 57: The Hard to Clarify Truth_1 388: Chapter 57: The Hard to Clarify Truth_1 When Xiao Xiao led the other mbers of the Absolution Knight Group back to the dormitory, Dylan had finally chosen his cufflinks and belt.
He smoothed his hair to a glossy finish with a transparent liquid, making it look as if a giant beetle had taken up residence on his head.
This careful adornnt surprised the others.
After all, Mister Wolfman was usually sloppy and didn’t belong to those creatures who were industrious and cared about their appearance.
“Do you have a date tonight?” Xin Fat Man crossed his arms and scrutinized the blue-robed wizard in the dressing mirror, snorting, “Does an old guy over a thousand years old still have such impulses?”
“When you’re over a thousand years old, you’ll understand,” Dylan replied, smiling and adjusting the small folds on the hem of his robe.
This left the fat man sowhat frustrated.
After all, he was not a great wizard, nor a long-lived kind, and no one crowdfunded for him.
A life span of over a thousand years couldn’t be blown out of nowhere by the wind.
His gloominess didn’t last long.
When the bronze mirror on the ceiling flickered again and the dormitory door was pushed open, the fat man’s attention was instantly diverted.
“So, any replies?” He shouted loudly, pushing his leaning chair and staring at several young wizards who walked in one after another.
The orange cat that was originally playing with a twin-tailed squirrel on the desk jumped at the sharp sound of the chair rubbing against the floor.
Its claws loosened and the twin-tailed squirrel shot out and scuttled around, escaping through the crack in the window on the balcony.
“ow!” The fat cat howled angrily, leaping up, and landed on the fat man’s head.
Then it thrashed around, its chubby paws blurring against the fat man’s face.
“Hey, hey, who’s going to drag this crazy cat out for !” Xin Fat Man flailed his hands in the air and started howling as well.
“Hehehe!” The elves who were napping on Zheng Qing’s canopy bed were woken up by the noise in the room and seed irritated.
So, they dragged a few towels and fluttered their wings, joining the cat-human battle.
The fat man’s screams beca even more horrific.
Zheng Qing tiptoed and edged along the wall, carefully avoiding the battle near the desk, and ca to Xiao Xiao.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Xiao pulled out a new parchnt envelope from his chest.
“No problem…
this is the new reply from the Club Union.” He pushed the reply into Zheng Qing’s hands and shook his head, “Just as we guessed, it’s a trouble caused by a religious extremist.”
“There’s nothing new under the sun,” Zhang Ji Xin’s gruff voice sounded behind him.
“And nothing new under the moon either,” Dylan added elegantly while adjusting his cufflinks.
Zheng Qing remained silent.
He eagerly tore open the envelope.
Just as Doctor Xiao had said, the Absolution Knight Group’s appeal to the Club Union went smoothly.
Or rather, there was no appeal to speak of in the first place.
Similar to everyone’s previous guesses, the reason why the Absolution Knight Group’s application was previously rejected was indeed because a student from Atlas Academy took it upon himself to alter the notification of this new club.
Most freshn faced with such an inexplicable result would reluctantly accept it, since it was just a matter of changing the na and delaying the process by a few days.
Very few people would go through the complicated process of “submitting an objection – review – re-examination.”
Therefore, when the Absolution Knight Group’s appeal application was received, the person in charge of the Club Union was stunned for a while.
After a simple investigation, the bigwigs of the Club Union didn’t even hold a eting and clarified the matter.
“The sophomore veteran from Atlas Academy is the main person responsible for this.
He serves as the vice director of the Club Union office, whose main job is to distribute reviewed orders and mails,” Xiao Xiao, leaning against Zheng Qing’s six-pillar bed, and sipping on the hot tea just brought by the elves, explained the ins and outs of the matter in a leisurely manner: “As we have previously guessed, he is a very conservative Amish.
He took it upon himself to change the Club Union’s reply after his objection to the na ‘Absolution’ being considered sacrilegious was ignored.”
“I’ve always thought that fanatical beliefs affect ntal health,” muttered Xin Fat Man, easing the strain after the fight with a bowl of fruit salad.
The war between the fat cat and the fat man had temporarily co to an end, successfully concluding with the fat man compromising and yielding half of his bed.
Luckily, there’s nothing a good al can’t fix.
The fat guy could always find comforting sweet treats in his own watch.
“What did they do to that Atlas student?” Dylan curiously interrupted.
“Expelled from the Club Union, a second level warning from the academy, and mandatory labor from the campus worker’s committee.” Xiao Xiao shrugged, returning the emptied teacup to the small elf floating before him, politely saying thank you.
This made the little fellow extraordinarily satisfied, joyfully holding the cup and refilling his tea.
While others discussed the matter, Zheng Qing finally finished reading the club union’s reply.
He was sowhat prepared, not stunned, but still felt a fresh new perspective.
“I just can’t understand it.” The young subsidized student heaved a heavy sigh: “Why would he be so reckless?
Risking breaking school rules, to confront a newly ford small club…”
“No, no, no, he wasn’t against us.” Xiao Xiao waved his hand, denying it: “He might not even know who our club mbers are…
He was just defending his own faith.”
“There’s a thin line between fanaticism and horror.” Xin Fat Man smacked his lips, then stuffed a piece of kiwi into his mouth.
“The power of faith is unpredictable with logic.” Dylan gave a modest evaluation.
“So, if there is nothing else, we will formally start today’s topic.” Xiao Xiao raised the notebook in his hand and looked over every person’s face in the dormitory.
“I have sothing to say.” Zheng Qing stood up, pretending to cough twice: “Ahem…
Recently, soone has been wantonly spreading rumors, saring my innocence…”
“Who cares about your innocence, who created it…” Xin Fat Man dragged out his words.
“…After my careful investigation and patient analysis, I am certain that it is an unfounded misunderstanding!” Zheng Qing glared fiercely at the fat man and raised his voice.
“What happened?” Zhang Ji Xin blurted out: “The more I hear the more I’m confused…
who rumored?
What did they say about you?
Why has it beco about innocence?
Who wronged you?
or who did you wrong?”
Upon hearing this array of tongue-twisting questions, Zheng Qing opened his mouth, tongue-tied.
It took him a mont to respond, stuttering, “It’s about soone saying I was dating three girls at once…”
“Oh!” Zhang Ji Xin suddenly realized: “You found your third girlfriend?”
“Yes, I found her!” Zheng Qing quickly nodded, then suddenly beca furious, shouting, “I’ve said it before, there isn’t one!
What about finding or not finding!”
The laughter echoed throughout the dorm room.
Zheng Qing automatically blocked out these noises and began to explain by himself:
“The deputy chairperson of the student union Fat Man ntioned, I only t once during the interview…
called Korma or Kolman, tall, with a ponytail.”
“I’ve only had contact with her twice.
Once during the college entrance exam when she pushed into the Jiuyou Academy examination room…
And the second ti was during the student union interview, she pushed into the student union office.”
“From the sound of it, she pushed you, right?” Zhang Ji Xin blinked, rubbing his chin, thinking, adding, “And pushed many tis…”
“That’s not the point!” Zheng Qing felt a bit hysterical.
“But everyone thinks it’s the key point,” Dylan added quietly, “It would be best if you could add the details of how she pushed you…
I’ve seen the script of Don Juan in Paris, where the way the noble ladies push over the handso young n is super seductive…”
Blue Bird turned his face expressionlessly and covered Lin Guo’s ears with his hand.
Lin Guo widened his eyes, his face full of curiosity and regret.
“The point is!” Zheng Qing raised his voice, desperately trying to drown out the increasing noise in the dormitory, shouting, “She only made a joke…
There is absolutely, absolutely, no unusual relationship between us at all!”
It seed that everyone was stunned by his roar.
The dormitory was suddenly quiet.
“Already been pushed two tis, dare to say the relationship is normal…” Xin Fat Man murmured again, “His face must be a ter thick…”
“Wow!” The Fat Cat sprawled on the fat man’s belly, lazily wagging its tail, as if to express agreent.
“Hahahaha…..” The small room was once again drowned in laughter in the next second.
Zheng Qing collapsed on the six-pillar bed and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
