Rebirth of a Villainess 109 Misgiving 19

Jin Tieguai was in a state of confusion, that he didn't knowing that he was staring so hard at his headteacher, until the other looked up from what he was reading at his desk.

"What is it?!"

Despite saying that, the student disciple was in a world of his own and could not hear the voice of Jin Caihe.

"Jin Tieguai!"

The headteacher of the GuBaiJin sect shouted in a louder voice at his student, who eventually began showing signs of hearing him.

"Y..Yes! Headteacher Jin!"

Jin Caihe watched him with narrowed eyes not knowing what to make of the strange nature of Jin Tieguai, he was looking as though he was caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing.

"Why are you still here? Everyone has left already."

Jin Caihe took a deep breath to steady his mind, before speaking to his student disciple in a gentle voice.

Turning to see what his teacher meant, Jin Tieguai looked around and saw that it was as he said, he truly was the only one left in the classroom with his headteacher!

With the realization came a sense of discomfort, his mind began taking a turn to a somewhat indecent thought, causing his cheeks to stain a bright pink.

On seeing the fair jade skin of Jin Tieguai look take up a different color, this made Jin Caihe's eyes to further narrow in distrust.

"What is he thinking of! I hope it is not what I think?!"

The headteacher of the GuBaiJin sect continued to look closely at the face of his student disciple, as though waiting for the other to own up to his misdeed.

"Headteacher Jin..."

When Jin Tieguai finally spoke, he began with a bit of hesitation, which made the other cultivation suddenly weary to hear what he had to say to him. Rather than saying a thing, Jin Caihe waited on his student to continue.

"I..I don't know if it is really what I heard..."

The teacher motioned for the other to keep on speaking, which from the looks of it, the student disciple looked as though his courage was wearing thin.

"I thought I heard the voice of a snake talking to you....but, I could have been wrong."

Jin Tieguai looked at his teacher with wavering eyes, unsure of whether what he heard was as a result of insanity or if it was actually true. Jin Caihe bunched his robes tightly, to steady his nerves that were acting on their own. He could not believe that Jin Tieguai could hear when he and the Fuxi were speaking.

"How much of what we said does he know?!"

Jin Caihe became deathly pale when it finally sank in that Jin Tieguai could see something that was kept hidden from many and could hear an intimate conversation which was supposedly meant to be secret.

From within the magical beast heard what the two were saying, but pretended to be asleep, it wanted to see how the headteacher would handle it without interfering with their problem.

"What did you hear?"

Choosing to ask the obvious, rather than assuming that Jin Tieguai may have known everything, he waited for the other to reply. Listening as his student disciple eventually described what his headteacher and another was saying in secret.

"Headteacher Jin does it have anything to do with why you and I did those things together?!"

Jin Caihe looked away when Jin Tieguai asked if the night in which they shared a bed, had anything to do with whom he was speaking with. The other had vague memories of how it all started, but remembered the strange sensation that appeared right before he lost control and took Jin Caihe, the eyes that looked back at the student disciple pleaded for understanding.

The headteacher wanted to sweep everything under the carpet and pretend they never happened, but one thing after the other kept happening to make it almost impossible to do, his aim was to make it look like it was Jin Tieguai that pushed him into committing those acts behind the door of the DianShu. If he opened up and told the other that he knew that the falcon beast had the power to suppress his own magical beast, he feared that no amount of explanation was going to make his student disciple understand that he wasn't using him for his own gain, at least that was what he thought.

"What do you want me to say?"

Jin Caihe looked in defeat at Jin Tieguai, it was his duty as a cultivator who was held in the highest regard to tell his student disciple the truth. He wanted the other to choose what he wants to hear.

"Headteacher Jin, was it all planned? Did you set it up, so that I would follow you to your room?!"

A look of anguish stole into the eyes of Jin Caihe, how could he explain that he found his cure by luck, who would believe such a ridiculous story. If it ever got out that he supposedly "seduced" his student disciple, his marriage to the fox princess would be voided, the high reputation that he had would be torn to shreds and he would be sent out of the GuBaiJin sect in disgrace!

Jin Caihe pressed hard on his lips, the anguish he felt inside his heart was so great that he hardly felt the pain that came along with the blood that trickled from his mouth. Hearing Jin Tieguai accuse him of orchestrating their meeting, suddenly made him feel dizzy as though the blood in his head that gone elsewhere.

"Think what you want, it's not going to change what has happened! Or would it?!"

Jin Tieguai's eyes widened in shock at what the person that he was beginning to like said such cruel words to him. "Is he the same person I held in my arms?!"

In a daze, Jin Tieguai slowly got up and walked out of the class, leaving the things he brought with him to the class behind. His face was as though it was carved out of ice, leaving a visibly shaken Jin Caihe to stare after him.
