Chapter 50: The Little Princess of the Nintou Family?

  The next morning, Shinso went to U.A. High School while his own school had already excused him from classes.

  "Shinsoo!" Taichi stared in surprise at Shinsoo, who had suddenly appeared in his school's tennis club.

  "Ah, Taicheng."

  "How did you come? Where's Yafeng?" Because it was an acquaintance, Taicheng came straight to the point.

  "Yafeng has a slight fever and is resting at home, I'm here to ask for leave on her behalf."

  "Fever?!" Taicheng exclaimed. In his memory, Yafeng was always in high spirits except for the time they first met when she seemed a bit weak, and he had never seen her fall ill, apart from that strange case of low blood sugar. "Was it because she got drenched in water yesterday?"

  Everyone else from Qingyun gathered around when they heard what Tauchen said.

  "Has Yafeng caught a cold?" Kikumaru's concern was written all over his face.

  His heart also skipped a beat, wondering if he had been careless yesterday.

  "Is that so, it's a bit chilly, but resting for a while will be fine." Ninsuke still had his usual poker face, "Taishi, Yafuu won't come today and tomorrow she'll return to Kanagawa so she won't come either."

  "Ah, I know, tell her to take a good rest." Daishi said with concern.

  "Ah, then I won't disturb you." Ninsu finished speaking and walked out, but after just a few steps he turned his head back: "Qian, you should know the truth about yesterday's matter by now."

  Listening to the determined tone, he pushed his glasses up and nodded slightly.

  "What are you going to do with your patience?" asked Ni Feng with a smile.

  "Yes, Shinso and the True Cross princess can't be deceived, but I hope you'll take care of them at Seijuku in the future, your fan club is under your control."

  Listening to Nintou's words, Taito and others from the same social class naturally knew that Nintou was going to scold the mastermind and perpetrator of yesterday's incident. However, others thought that Nintou just wanted them to help take care of Yafeng.

  "Don't worry, it won't happen again!" Taochen shouted in assurance.

  "Then I'll take my leave first." Ninxu said and left.

  Apart from the tennis court, he went to the principal's office.

  "Nishikawa Principal, hello. I'm Nino Shinji, a second-year student at Hyotei Academy and also the sworn brother of this week's exchange student from Rikkai, Sanada Yukimura."

  "Ah, hello, please sit down." Principal Nishikawa smiled warmly and waited until Shinji was seated before asking, "I don't know what brings you to Seisho Academy today, Shinji?"

  "I came for Ya Feng, I suppose Principal Xi Chuan also saw yesterday's school newspaper slandering Ya Feng?"

  "Ah, yesterday's school newspaper was indeed a bit over the top and hurtful to Sanada as well. However, Seigaku's school newspaper has always been handled by the news club, so even if it's the school itself, it's not good to interfere too much with its publication." Principal Nishikori still had a gentle face but managed to shift all responsibility in his words.

  He sneered inwardly but didn't show it on his face. "We naturally know this principle, and we came to see Principal Xichuan today for another matter."

  "Anything else?"

  "Actually, another thing is also a matter. Due to yesterday's school newspaper, some students of Qingxue have grievances against Yafeng. Yesterday noon, Yafeng was intercepted and warned by a group of girls at the classroom door. In the afternoon, on her way to the club, she was splashed with cold water. Now she is having a high fever at home. I wonder if Principal Xichuan knows about it?"

  As for all this, Principal Nishikawa was still unaware of it. However, he only had a momentary flash of surprise and quickly covered it up again.

  "This was originally just a prank among young girls, harmless and trivial. However, Yafeng has been frail and sickly since childhood, how could she withstand such torment? Although it's only a slight fever now, for the elders who have always doted on her, this is a big problem. Today, I came at the behest of my family's elders, they asked me to ask Principal Xikawa if Qing Academy's management is really so lax? Yafeng is after all an excellent exchange student from Lihai University, and yet she suffered such harm in less than a week, doesn't the principal need to give Lihai University an explanation?"

  Listening to Nintou's sharp questioning, Principal Nishikawa was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Nintou to have such eloquence and momentum at such a young age. However, he quickly regained his composure as the gentle principal: "What Nintou said is right, we will definitely give Shinoda an explanation."

  "Principal Xichuan has said so, I can rest assured. These three are the perpetrators of yesterday's incident. Principal Xichuan will surely give us a good explanation." Rinzu said as he handed over the three photos to Principal Xichuan.

  Principal Nishikawa couldn't help but let out a wry smile after seeing the three photos, one of which was the daughter of one of their school directors. This made it difficult for him to mete out punishment.

  He couldn't help but notice the expression on Principal Xikawa's face, and he sneered again, his long fingers pointing to the photo on the far left: "This girl is the main photographer of your school's news agency. The photos in yesterday's school newspaper were taken by her. And I also found out that she has been secretly taking pictures of Yafeng since she entered the school. Such behavior should be considered an invasion of Yafeng's privacy, right? I believe Principal Xikawa will give a reasonable punishment."

  Nishikawa: "Well, I suppose it's true that you've invaded Sanada's privacy... but considering this is your first offense, let's just give you a warning."

  He nodded slightly and pointed to the girl in the middle, saying: "This is the vice president of your school's news department and also the author of yesterday's article. Yesterday's article repeatedly used derogatory language, which is enough to constitute defamation, isn't it?"

  "Yes, it's indeed excessive, but after all, they were reporting on a school event. Perhaps the wording was inappropriate, but it wasn't a huge mistake. Let's just issue a warning and have her clarify the facts and apologize in the next school newspaper, and also give the news agency a warning."

  He pointed at the third girl again, and with a hint of trepidation, Principal Nishikawa's mouth curled up into a sly smile. "This student is the mastermind behind the water splashing incident on Yafeng."

  Principal Nishikawa looked at the photo and furrowed his brow, unsure of what to do.

  "Principal Nishikawa seems to be in a bit of a dilemma, doesn't he? I think this student is the daughter of the school's board member. It's indeed not easy to handle, but when I left home today, my father told me that although our family isn't some big and wealthy one, we do have some social status as a respectable family. And Yafeng is not only the treasure of our Nishikawa family, but also the little princess of the thousand-year-old Shinada family. Is it because they think there's no one in our Nishikawa or Shinada families? I believe Principal Nishikawa will make a fair judgment."

  Nishikawa was shocked, although he had long been suspicious of Yafeng's identity, but thought it was just a coincidence with the Sanada family name, and never thought she was the princess of the Sanada family, and unexpectedly also the adopted daughter of the Shinobi clan, now even if the school board came, it would be useless.

  "Regarding Ninxia's case, no matter who her father is, if she has made a mistake, she must accept punishment. Considering it was her first offense, let's just give her a warning and keep her under observation for now."

  "Principal Nishikawa is indeed fair, I'll go back to school for class and won't disturb you anymore. Oh, by the way, Yafeng is absent today, can you please tell her homeroom teacher?"

  "It's natural."

  Ning Zu's lips curled up slightly at the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

  Obi left Seirin and didn't return to Hyoutei, but instead went to find Obi Yousuke. After all, that person's father is also a successful person, so this young punk probably wouldn't be taken seriously, right? If his father gets involved, then that person will get the punishment he deserves.

  "Yūshi, you're here?"

  "Ah, Father." Nintou bowed respectfully to Nintou Eiji before sitting down. He didn't know when he started becoming so respectful and formal whenever talking about family matters with his father, as if he were a subordinate speaking to a superior.

  A hint of helplessness and sadness flashed in Yinsu's eyes, but it was quickly gone. "Has the matter with Yafeng School been settled?"

  "Yes, the girl who took pictures with Ya Feng was criticized and will make a public apology in the school newspaper, the girl who wrote the article was given a warning and will be put on probation, but..."

  "What's wrong? Is there something tricky?"

  "Hmm, that girl is the daughter of the Qing School's director, so I'm afraid that punishment will be in vain. Later on, that girl might make another move on Yafeng."

  "Rinzu Eiji's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked in a cold tone, 'Do you know who that person's father is?'"

  "It's known that the recently developed Narita Group, because his two daughters are studying at Qing Xue, he acquired 5% of Qing Xue's shares. The one who splashed water on Ya Feng yesterday was actually his eldest daughter."

  "Is it Narita?" The furrowed brow of Shinsoo relaxed, "But it's just a small startup that has just begun to develop, there's no need to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it. You're also tired, go back to school."

  He nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."

  "Go."

  After walking out of the hotel, Nino called his secretary and arranged a meeting with Narita's chairman.
