Chapter 985: Chapter 964 Discussing Reason

Yin Huo’s eyes reddened instantly, his lips pressed tightly shut without a word,

Bai Shan: ...

This look, anyone who saw it would feel like he was the one being bullied, yet all he had done was ask a question.

After gathering his energy, Bai Shan said, "If you have any issues, come to me directly, don’t let your sister go to my relatives and friends. If you feel aggrieved, feel free to bring in the scholars as witnesses so we can debate it again."

Yin Huo, with reddened eyes, ignored him.

Bai Shan felt a sense of powerlessness in trying to communicate with him. He had wanted to either fight it out or just clear the air properly, but seeing him with his head down, refusing to communicate, he suddenly felt helpless.

Seeing Bai Shan’s grim expression and fearing they would start fighting on the spot, Peng Zhiru hastily came up from the back of the classroom, grabbed his shoulder, and whispered, "We can sit down and talk slowly, don’t rush."

Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "My place isn’t here."

Everyone: ...

He looked down at Yin Huo again, furrowing his brows and said, "How about we find a place to sit and talk after school?"

Bai Shan felt somewhat irritable; this was his first time showing weakness to an outsider. If it weren’t for the fact that the Prince of Yizhou was currently in the capital and they had an unresolved major vengeance, he would not feel so stifled.

He thought he had taken a step back, but Yin Huo’s eyes grew even redder. The tears in his eyes seemed about to fall, which was very... annoying.

However, his classmates seemed to find the situation very amusing; standing in pairs, they watched them, struggling to hold back their laughter.

Bai Shan looked up and saw this, frowning slightly. Although he realized the laughter was directed at Yin Huo and not him, he still felt uncomfortable.

Bai Shan pressed his lips tight and returned to his seat.

Lu Xiaofu, sitting on his left, waited until everyone had dispersed before turning to Bai Shan and saying, "Yin Huo is temperamental, don’t provoke him."

Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Why does everyone look at him like that?"

"What else could it be? Because he doesn’t act like a man," Lu Xiaofu said. "More than half of the class has been approached by his sisters, asking them to take good care of him. But since Liu Huan’s incident, people haven’t interacted much with Yin Huo, afraid that even the slightest mistake could get them cornered by his sister."

Bai Shan, curious, turned towards him. "How do you know all this?"

Weren’t they just twenty days into school?

Lu Xiaofu indifferently responded, "I heard people discussing it this morning. Today, outside school, you were cornered by his sisters; it’s all the class has been talking about secretly. Even outside, if you go for a walk, you’ll notice no one talks about the topics of where the young princes will go after entering the capital anymore. All they discuss are you and Yin Huo."

After all, the young princes were still far away, a topic that could be managed later, but Bai Shan and Yin Huo were right there, and compared to playing, this was obviously a more interesting and fun topic to discuss.

Bai Shan used to enjoy hearing people discuss various matters privately. Although he never commented, he did gain quite a bit of information from those discussions. Now, being the subject of discussion, he didn’t feel very happy.

After all, their stances and situations were similar. Lu Xiaofu and Peng Zhiru both felt a sense of sympathy for Bai Shan, especially since he had invited them to his senior sister’s restaurant opening last time.

So, the two of them felt they were friends.

Thus, both advised Bai Shan in a low voice, "Yin Huo’s sisters are particularly difficult to deal with. Even Liu Huan, who is the grandson of the Ministry of Revenue’s official, had to yield to their family, so you should back down a bit when necessary."

Bai Shan, with lips tightly pressed, said, "Wasn’t it just a few sentences of disagreement in class?"

Was it necessary to cause such an uproar and even take it outside the school?

Before, when he and Manbao used to attend class with Bai Er, they would often argue over different interpretations, but the teacher never reprimanded them or stopped them. He would let them argue until the end before making a judgement. His grandmother, his uncle, and Manbao’s brothers never came to them because of it either.

Even when they fought in private, the adults didn’t really care, let alone during class.

If even classroom disagreements needed family intervention, what was the point of going to school at all?

Perhaps there wouldn’t even be a need to hire a teacher; just studying books on your own and sticking to your own beliefs would suffice. Why bother coming out to cause trouble?

Bai Shan was very unhappy.

So, he glanced back at Yin Huo, and as soon as school ended in the afternoon and he saw him leave, he immediately packed up his things and followed.

Lu Xiaofu couldn’t help but look back at him, "Aren’t you going to the Book Collection Tower today?"

"No."

Bai Shan was about to leave when Peng Zhiru quickly tried to stop him, "You shouldn’t go looking for him again..."

Bai Shan pushed his hand away, "Some things must be clarified."

At that moment, Bai Shan still didn’t know that the Yin Family had taken the matter straight to Jishi Hall; he just felt that Yin Huo’s sisters were too overbearing, and he certainly didn’t want to be confronted every day on his way to school.

Bai Shan chased after Yin Huo and left, and upon seeing this, his classmates became excited, immediately calling their friends, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, Bai Shan is going to argue with Yin Huo again."

Hearing this, others hurriedly gathered their things and followed them out carrying their baskets.

Peng Zhiru and Lu Xiaofu looked at each other, didn’t even bother packing up their desks, and ran after them.

They both lived in the school and couldn’t leave, but considering so many others ran out all at once, who knows...

Bai Shan chased after Yin Huo and caught up with him at the gate.

Yin Huo, nervously clenching his basket, said, "I have nothing to say to you."

The Yin Family’s servants swarmed around, warily watching Bai Shan, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing the commotion and rushing out, Bai Erlang, who was visibly scared upon seeing the situation, quickly ran up to hold Bai Shan back. Seeing the Yin Family’s servants pressing closer, he couldn’t help but shout with his eyes closed, "Daji—"

"What are you yelling for?" A woman’s voice commanded from above. Bai Erlang opened his eyes and saw a carriage near them. He realized that Daji was standing holding the horses, and Manbao was high up on the carriage shaft looking down at them.

Bai Shan, face expressing his exasperation with Bai Erlang, really wished he could hold up a sign saying he didn’t know him.

He dared to face so many of the Yin Family’s servants unwaveringly, naturally because he had spotted his family’s carriage early on; with Daji there, these people definitely couldn’t bully him.

Bai Shan brushed off Bai Erlang’s hand and frowned, looking at Yin Huo who was surrounded in the middle, "I mean no harm. I neither want to fight nor argue with you. I just want to have a serious talk. We are both adults now; issues should not be resolved by aggression. Let’s lay things out and discuss them. How about it?"

Bai Shan said, "I just want to ask you, how do you think we should resolve this matter?"

Bai Shan felt that he couldn’t treat Yin Huo as he did Manbao and Bai Erlang; with the latter two, it was fine to be unreasonable, but with Yin Huo, it was better to reason directly and leave other matters aside.

Yin Huo, surprised, looked up at Bai Shan.

Manbao, standing on the carriage shaft, only now got a clear look at Yin Huo’s face and exclaimed in amazement, "You are so pale."
