A few minutes later.

"Are you telling the truth?" The baron looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Dad, I didn't know that Li Ziqi's sister is the student of the Holy Mage. Otherwise, I would never dare to trouble her..." The girl was on the verge of tears.

"Well, you have caused so much trouble for the family. I'll make sure to beat you to death..."

"Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't hit me? Ah~ Ah~ Dad, please stop, I know I was wrong~"

A piercing scream rang out.

Baron's mansion.

Many people heard the screams of the baron's daughter, but no one dared to approach and intervene.

Half an hour later.

The girl who bullied her classmates at school had been beaten by the baron with a belt, leaving her body covered in bruises.

"Tomorrow, bring a gift and find that classmate Li Ziqi. Then kneel down and apologize. If she doesn't forgive you, I will personally beat you to death to appease her anger..."

The next day, before dawn, the baron personally brought numerous precious gifts and had a carriage waiting at the school gate.

7 o'clock in the morning.

Li Ziqi arrived at the school gate with a pink backpack on her back.

Then she saw a bruised and swollen female student rushing towards her, which surprised her.

Just as she was about to take action, the other person stopped a few meters away from her and then knelt down with a thud.

"Li Ziqi, I'm sorry, please forgive me." The female student shouted loudly at Li Ziqi.

Upon hearing this voice, Li Ziqi immediately recognized her as the classmate who often caused trouble for her.

"Luo Laiying, what's wrong with you?" Li Ziqi was somewhat incredulous. She couldn't believe that Luo Laiying, the school bully, would kneel down and apologize to her.

Just as Li Ziqi was still in a daze, a man in his fifties walked over from beside the carriage.

He respectfully said to Li Ziqi, "This classmate, Luo Laiying is my daughter. I know she often troubles you at school, so I'm very sorry. I only found out about this yesterday, so I gave her a beating. Early this morning, I brought her here to apologize to you..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Laiying, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly said to Li Ziqi, "Li Ziqi, I'm sorry, please forgive me, okay?"

"This... this..." Li Ziqi was still a bit confused.

She didn't understand why she and Luo Laiying, who were just classmates, had escalated to the point of kneeling down and apologizing.

Moreover, the commotion caused was too big.

Many people were curious and gathered around the school gate.

"Li Ziqi, my daughter has realized her mistake. Our family has prepared a carriage full of gifts as compensation. Would you be willing to forgive her?" Luo Laiying's father asked Li Ziqi.

"This... Uncle, it's not necessary." Li Ziqi quickly waved her hand.

"It is necessary, very necessary. If you don't forgive my daughter, I can hand her over to you for punishment. You can do whatever you want, Li Ziqi, what do you think?"

"This... Uncle, I forgive her. Let's forget about the gifts. Just make sure to educate Luo Laiying well and make sure she doesn't bully anyone in the future," Li Ziqi quickly said.

"Did you hear that? Li Ziqi has forgiven you. Also, from now on, you must not bully anyone. Can you do that?" Luo Laiying's father scolded her.

"Yes, I can do it." Luo Laiying quickly nodded in agreement.

"Li Ziqi, this carriage of gifts is our sincerity. Please accept it."

"No, no, I don't want the gifts. Take them back, or else I won't forgive Luo Laiying."

"Alright then, Li Ziqi, you are truly a good... classmate. My daughter is fortunate to have such a kind classmate like you."

"Uncle, you're too kind. It's time for class. I'll go to class first." Li Ziqi said and ran away.

"Go to class now. Remember, you must never offend Li Ziqi. If Li Ziqi needs any help, you must do everything you can to assist her. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Dad." Luo Laiying quickly nodded.

Luo Laiying went to class with a bruised and swollen face.

Lord Baron quickly returned to the Baron's mansion.

After returning to the Baron's mansion, he considered whether to report this matter to his superiors.

Given the Emperor's attention to this matter, if the information he reports is valuable, he is likely to receive commendation and even have the opportunity to be promoted in rank.

However, he still needs to confirm what his daughter said!

Although he believed that his daughter would never lie to him about such a matter, what if she did?

What if he reports it and it is discovered that Li Ziqi's sister is not a student of the Holy Demon Instructor?

At that time, not only would he receive no credit, but he would likely be punished.

In the afternoon, after school.

The Baron called his daughter into the room.

"Do you know where Li Ziqi's house is?" the Baron asked his daughter.

"I don't know," Luo Laiying shook her head.

Although she had some conflicts with Li Ziqi before, it was all at school. She had never thought about investigating Li Ziqi's family.

"Do you know when Li Ziqi's sister will come to school to pick her up?" the Baron continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Luo Laiying thought for a moment and said, "Probably on the last day of each inquiry, her sister usually comes to school to pick her up."

The Baron calculated and realized that tomorrow was the last day of the inquiry, so he quickly asked, "So, her sister will come to pick her up tomorrow?"

"It should be," Luo Laiying nodded.

"Alright, you can go back now and have your uncle treat you," the Baron waved his hand to his daughter.

The next afternoon.

The Baron had a servant drive a carriage to the entrance of his daughter's school, pretending to pick her up after school.

Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when school was about to end, he saw a person who left a deep impression on him.

"That's right, it's her."

"Indeed, it's her."

Just at the first glance of the person, the Baron was certain that this woman was the one in the painting.

This woman not only looked exactly like the person in the painting, but also wore the same clothes, had the same hairstyle, and exuded a certain special aura.

Therefore, this woman should be the one in the painting.

According to his daughter's words, this woman should be here to pick up her sister, Li Ziqi.

Just a few minutes after the woman arrived, the school ended.

Soon, countless students walked out of the school gate.

In the carriage, the Baron witnessed the woman taking away Li Ziqi, his daughter's classmate.

There was no mistake, this woman, the sister of his daughter's classmate, was the person the Emperor warned them not to offend.

"Let's go back," the Baron instructed the coachman.

"Sir, aren't we picking up Miss?"

"Let her walk back!" the Baron's voice was indifferent.

Just as the Baron's carriage was leaving, a young girl had just walked out of the school gate.

She immediately recognized her family's carriage.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why did you leave?" the girl hurriedly chased after it.

However, she could only watch the carriage get farther and farther away.

After returning to the Baron's mansion.

The Baron immediately began writing a memorial.

He was preparing to inform the Emperor of his discovery.

Perhaps, he could receive a reward from the Emperor.
