Chapter 61: Taking things into my own hands

“Nalan, it really was you…” Murong An heard the conversation coming from the Sound Stone and stared at Nalan Lan with disbelief.
” I…” Nalan Lan never expected that Sima You Yue would have this item. She thought that he did not have any evidence, but now this was definitely conclusive proof, rendering her unable to dispute anything.
“Director, you’ve heard the conversation. He Qiu Zhi was merely a henchman, the real mastermind was Nalan Lan. She’s the one who wanted to kill me.” Sima You Yue said.
The Teaching Director’s face was so black and thunderous. He didn’t think that Sima You Yue would actually be able to do this, shooting Nalan Lan so directly.
If she was an ordinary person, it would be fine to expel her. However, Nalan Lan was the genius of the Nalan Clan. If she were to be expelled, the family members would definitely not let him off easily. Even if he was now the Teaching Director of this Academy, he was still restricted by the family.
“Director, you’ve seen the evidence. Please pass a fair judgement on my students.” Feng Zhi Xing looked at the way the Teaching Director was behaving and said directly.
“This, Sima You Yue, this only has the voices. They’ve only mentioned the name of Miss Nalan but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s Nalan Lan. So this evidence is not solid enough.” The Teaching Director thought for a while and said this sentence that even he found hard to believe.
When the surrounding students heard this, they all sucked in a breath.
“Director, what do you mean by this?” Feng Zhi Xing said coldly.
The Teaching Director appeared as if he was very satisfied by the explanation that he had come up with and said, “This is exactly what I mean. The evidence is not satisfactory and is not enough to incriminate Nalan Lan. As a result, it is not possible to do anything towards Nalan Lan.”
“Director, how could you be like this?!” Sima You Le shouted at the Teaching Director.
“Sima You Le, what kind of attitude are you showing me!” The Teaching Director looked at Sima You Le unsatisfactorily, “If you continue being this way, I might even charge you with disrespect against a teacher! You…”
The Teaching Director had yet to finish speaking when he felt as if he saw someone flash past. After that, Nalan Lan suddenly screamed.
“Sima You Yue, what are you doing!” The Teaching Director shouted when he saw that Sima You Yue was standing in front of Nalan Lan and had placed a dagger on her neck when everyone was not looking.
“What am I doing? Can’t you see?” Sima You Yue said, “In any case, you have already decided to favor her. The evidence is clear but you won’t punish her. It looks like harming another student can’t mean much. I’m just thinking that since this is the case, I can just take things into my own hands and settle this. I’m not sure what will happen if this blade accidentally slips. Will her head still remain on her neck?”
“Stay your hand!” The Teaching Director anxiously shouted when he saw that Sima You Yue’s dagger was moving.
“Why should I stop?” Sima You Yue stared at the teaching director mockingly, “So many students have heard the conversation between He Qiu Zhi and Nalan Lan but, no matter what, you seem to want to say it isn’t her. Since this is the case, I can kill her but still claim that it wasn’t me. Anyway, I believe that the General’s residence has the power to keep everyone silent.”
