The Marquis Mansion's Elite Class-Chapter 245

The little demon king was so furious that he clenched his fists and charged forward. He slammed into He Zheng like a meaty dumpling, covering the poor boy's mouth with his hand. Shen Yibai quickly came to He Zheng's aid, while Wei Xinglu tried to break up the fight. However, the more they pulled, the more entangled they became, and soon all four of them were rolling around on the ground, limbs tangled, kicking and pinching each other in a heated scuffle.

The little demon king grabbed Shen Yibai's mouth and growled, "I'll teach you to spout nonsense..."

Shen Yibai, struggling to push Zong Jincheng's chin away, retorted, "I'm just telling the truth. You can't beat him in exams, and you're afraid of others pointing it out?"

The little demon king bit back, "Well, you can't beat me either! You're even worse than Wei Xinglu—you're the bottom of our advanced class!"

Wei Xinglu howled, "Jincheng, you're biting the wrong person! That's my arm!"

He Zheng, barely able to breathe, gasped, "Brothers, I'm about to be crushed to death..."

Zong Wenxiu, watching the scene unfold, was both amused and exasperated. He finally stepped in to rescue the unfortunate He Zheng, but the four boys were so tightly entangled that it took him a while to pull them apart. Exhausted, the five boys lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Wei Xinglu was the first to recover. Leaning against a chair, he asked, "Jincheng, who exactly is this Qin Ye? How can he be so ridiculously good at exams at such a young age? Is he possessed by some kind of studying ghost?"

The four boys turned their heads in unison, their eyes wide with sudden realization.

Shen Yibai seized the opportunity to suggest, "Since we're off today, why don't we take a master to the Qin Mansion and see if we can expose Qin Ye's true form? That way, Jincheng can finally beat him in exams!"

The little demon king's eyes sparkled with excitement. He clapped his hands and immediately agreed, "Great idea, brother!"

Zong Wenxiu: "..."

This is beyond ridiculous. What kind of terrible plan is this?

The four troublemakers were nothing if not efficient. Despite being completely worn out just moments ago, they instantly sprang into action. Wei Xinglu was the first to dash out, saying, "I'll go get someone to bring the master to meet us outside the Qin Mansion."

Outside the Qin Mansion's outer wall.

Shen Yibai frowned, "This is way too far from the main gate. Are you sure this is the right spot?"

The little demon king confidently replied, "Of course! I've climbed this wall before. Qin Ye lives right here."

Wei Xinglu nodded, "Alright, Jincheng, I trust you. Let's go up from here."

With that, he tilted his head, and the servants obediently crouched under the wall. The four boys skillfully stepped on their backs and climbed up, their heads popping up over the wall one by one.

"..."

Even Shunzi found this level of absurdity hard to believe.

Buyan's lips twitched as he leaned against a tree, crossing his arms. He took a deep breath and decided to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

"Where is he? I don't see Qin Ye."

"The windows are closed. He must be inside studying."

"When is he coming out? We can't have the master jump in and spray water, can we? Isn't that trespassing?"

"Not really. We're not stealing or robbing anyone."

"Right, right. We're helping Qin Ye exorcise a ghost. He'll probably thank us later."

"..."

Zong Wenxiu had tried to talk them out of it the entire way, but it was no use. The four boys were united like a single rope, impossible to untangle.

He could already foresee the awkward situation that was about to unfold. But since stopping them was impossible... he might as well start thinking about how to apologize and explain things to their elders.

"He's out! A kid just came out! Master, hurry, spray Qin Ye!"

"Make sure you aim properly! Qin Ye has guards around him. If you miss the first time, there won't be a second chance."

"Don't worry, we've never missed before!" The masters puffed out their chests with confidence, then leaped off the wall and sprayed a mouthful of holy water at the young boy who had just stepped outside.

"Pfft—"

The holy water scattered into the air, creating a mist that obscured their vision.

But they were sure they had hit their target!

A young boy had been sprayed!

"Did it work? Did Qin Ye reveal his true form?"

"Not yet... but isn't he a bit too tall? Qin Ye's only nine. Could he really be this tall?"

"Uh, guys... I think we might have sprayed the wrong person. Isn't that Qin Shi...?"

The little demon king: "Ah...!"

Qin Shi, as usual, had gone to ask his younger brother for help with his studies. Just as he stepped outside, he was sprayed in the face with... holy water?

Then, he spotted the four boys on the wall.

The little demon king led the group with an awkward grin, "Ah... Qin Shi, what a coincidence!"

Qin Shi: "..."

The way you're positioned, it doesn't look like a coincidence at all.

The commotion in the courtyard was too loud to ignore. Qin Ye stepped out of his room and immediately saw his older brother, drenched from head to toe. The culprits, however, had already vanished in a flash.

"Capture them," Qin Ye ordered coldly.

The guards leaped into action, but with Buyan reluctantly protecting the boys, none of the troublemakers were caught.

Qin Shi chuckled helplessly, "It's just Jincheng and his friends playing a prank. It's nothing serious, Xiao Ye. I'll just go change my clothes."

Qin Ye's expression remained stern, his anger far from appeased.

He turned to the guards and said, "Report this to their families. Let their elders know what happened."

Qin Shi blinked, "That's not necessary, is it? It's not a big deal."

"..."

The troublemakers only realized their mistake after running home. They had only half-completed their mission—they hadn't even confirmed their target.

Zong Wenxiu sighed, "Stop messing around. If Auntie finds out, we're all going to be punished. We might even have to write a thousand-word apology letter."

Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu immediately wilted at the mention of such a lengthy task.

Wei Xinglu swallowed hard, "Jincheng, let's take a break. We'll try again another day."

The little demon king nodded seriously, "Alright, let's wait until the next day off. Next time, we'll make sure to aim for Qin Ye."

He Zheng chimed in, "Don't worry, big brother. I've seen Qin Ye before. I'll be your lookout next time!"

The four boys huddled together again, already planning their next move.

Just then, Shunzi rushed in, panicked, "Young Master Jincheng, it's bad! The Qin family has sent someone to complain. Madam is already on her way here, and she's furious!"

The four troublemakers were terrified: "!!!!!"

"How did they find out so quickly? We just got home!"

"Did Qin Shi report us already?"

"It must be Qin Ye! That vindictive guy!"

"Quick, quick, where can we hide? Is Auntie going to hit us? I don't want to get beaten!"

"The closet! Hide in the clothes! I always hide there at home."

"But there's only books in the study. Are we supposed to squeeze into the pages?"
