Free Web NovelChapter 179: Chapter 177: Teaching Little Treasure’s Bullies a Lesson
The teacher’s face instantly turned pale. Only then did it dawn on him that they weren’t here to bring Wen Xiaobao back—they were here to back her up.
"Th-this..." The teacher glanced frantically at Wen Xiaobao, then at the three young highnesses. "I’m not sure what your relationship is with her. Where is all this coming from? As teachers, we would never, ever bully any of our students!"
Seeing this, Bai Xiaolang’s gaze turned cold. "Is that so?"
On their way here, Wen Xiaobao had told the three of them everything.
They had always known about the school’s culture of disdaining the poor to curry favor with the rich, a place rife with competition over status.
The kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school, and university divisions in this district were all interconnected.
Basically, anyone who could study here came from a family that was either rich or noble in the Imperial City.
The children began building their own social networks from a young age.
The value of the luxury cars dropping children off at the school gates every day had become a daily standard of comparison among the kids.
These bad habits, inherited from their parents, weren’t something the teachers could correct overnight.
Over time, the teachers had also grown accustomed to treating people differently based on their status.
Bai Xiaolang took Wen Xiaobao’s hand, pulling her closer to him.
He looked at the teacher, a cold glint in his eyes. "In that case, let me ask you: Little Treasure repeatedly told you that classmates were bullying her, stealing her lunch, forbidding her from eating at the table, snatching her pencil case and smashing it, and throwing her schoolbag into a tree. Why did you ignore it all?"
The teacher’s face paled. He inwardly cursed Wen Xiaobao for being such a troublesome brat, but his expression became even more deferential. "Your Highness, you’ve truly misunderstood!"
"You see, you’re a student yourself, so you should know. Kids will be kids; they often roughhouse a bit."
"Especially with kindergarteners. None of them mean any harm; maybe they just get a little carried away sometimes."
"Little females are more sensitive and fragile, prone to crying. It’s really not that big of a deal."
"And look at us—the teachers have to deal with so many children tattling every day. We’re completely swamped."
"They’re all minor issues, but we will definitely pay more attention from now on."
The teacher leaned in fawningly. "We didn’t know Little Treasure was your friend before. Now that we do, you can rest assured that all the teachers in this class will give her special attention. We won’t let the little brats in the class bother her. How does that sound?"
Bai Xiaolang smiled.
Seeing this, the teacher secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ’He’s just a kid after all,’ he thought. ’So easy to fool.’
But Bai Xiaolang suddenly lifted his eyes, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Do you take me for one of those incompetent fools who run your kindergarten?"
He turned to Wen Xiaobao. "Tell me, who bullied you?"
Wen Xiaobao blinked.
What was there for the little ones in the class not to understand?
Wen Xiaobao, who they bullied all the time, had found someone from the elementary division to back her up.
They just never expected the people she brought would be the three young highnesses of the Federation.
Among them, the most terrified was the little fatty, the Crocodile Beastman who led the group.
The little fatty saw Wen Xiaobao’s gaze fall on him without hesitation. Before she could even speak, he blurted out anxiously, "Didn’t you say your dad runs a convenience store and your whole family are commoners?"
Wen Xiaobao pointed unhesitatingly at the little fatty. "He bullied me."
Seeing this, the other little kids were all stunned.
Their excitement at seeing the young highnesses vanished instantly. They huddled on their little beds like frightened quails, some even covering their faces with their blankets, terrified that Wen Xiaobao would point them out.
Wen Xiaobao’s finger moved. "And him, him, her, her, him..."
Everyone who had ever bullied Wen Xiaobao was pointed out; not a single one was missed.
Bai Xiaolang let out a humorless laugh. He hadn’t expected so many people in one class—most of them males—to bully a single little female rabbit.
He turned his head to look at Bai Xiao Zhu.
Bai Xiao Zhu sneered and tightened his spider silk. "Get over here, all of you!"
A bundle of spider silk was yanked hard, and all the children Wen Xiaobao had pointed out were dragged forward by the threads.
To be honest, the three of them were infamous Bounty Hunters in the black market, in charge of the largest Bounty Hunter Guild. The number of bodies they dismembered each night was greater than the entire population of this kindergarten. There was really no need to use such childish methods for revenge.
But often, when dealing with schoolyard bullying, fighting fire with fire was more effective than reasoning.
Bai Xiaolang pulled Wen Xiaobao aside to protect her, covering her eyes. "Little kids shouldn’t watch things that aren’t for them."
Wen Xiaobao obediently clutched the corner of his shirt, staying perfectly still and being exceptionally well-behaved.
Bai Xiaolang felt a surge of protectiveness. She was such a well-behaved child, yet she was being bullied by so many people at school.
Bai Xiao Zhu and Bai Xiaoshe warmed up a bit, herded the group who had bullied Wen Xiaobao into a corner, and started swinging their fists. Screams of pain instantly rose and fell.
"So you like schoolyard violence, huh?"
"You like bullying commoners, huh?"
"You like stealing her food and making her go hungry every day, huh?"
"You like forbidding anyone from talking to her, huh?"
"You like calling her nasty names and giving her ugly nicknames, huh?"
"You like smashing her pencil cases one after another, huh?"
"You like hiding her schoolbag so she can’t find it and cries, huh?"
"You like spitting on her little stool, huh?"
"You like pouring ink on her little bed during naptime, huh?"
"You’ve really got some nerve!"
As the screams continued, the teacher’s face grew paler and paler.
’It’s over, it’s all over.’
’These are all children from the noble families of the Imperial City!’
’They can’t afford to offend the three young highnesses, but they can’t afford to offend those nobles either!’
The teacher, his face a mask of misery, hurried over to plead with Bai Xiaolang. "Your Highness, isn’t this enough? Look, the children are all bruised and swollen, their noses are bleeding."
"They’re all delicate children; they can’t withstand such a beating."
"I will definitely manage these little rascals properly from now on. I won’t let them bully your friend again."
Bai Xiaolang didn’t even spare him a glance, as if he were nothing but the trash-filled air beside him.
The teacher awkwardly fell silent, his eyes pleading for help from the other teachers nearby.
Of course, the other teachers didn’t dare get involved in this mess, quickly averting their gazes.
Once they had beaten them enough, Bai Xiao Zhu and Bai Xiaoshe finally stopped and looked toward Bai Xiaolang.
The commotion soon alerted the headmaster of the kindergarten.
The headmaster was a male shark. Seeing the three Little Beastmen at the classroom door, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and trotted over. "Young Highnesses, what brings you here?"
Only then did Bai Xiaolang deign to give him a look. "Headmaster, I hear the teachers in your kindergarten’s Class Seven are overwhelmed and can’t manage the children."
"Since they can’t handle it, we shouldn’t force them. Let’s get a new batch of teachers."
Hearing this, the teacher from Class Seven completely panicked. "No! That’s not acceptable!"
Class Seven was the class for nobles. The children from the wealthiest and most powerful families in the entire Imperial City were sent to his class the moment they started kindergarten.
’This is a cushy job!’
’Getting to interact with so many distinguished parents every day... even if they were a bit difficult to serve, as long as you figured out their temperaments, the benefits were enormous!’
Bai Xiaolang narrowed his eyes. "Are you questioning my decision?"
He hated it most when someone questioned his decisions.
