nAt the same time, Lie Mengmeng was conducting his psychiatric treatment in an orderly fashion.

nIt was Secretary Dakang from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Schools who had instructed for this to be carried out.

nThe severity of the Shuigou Sect incident lay not just in the fact that the students who had ingested the fruit could ultimately generate a spirit explosion; it could also be very traumatising. Psychiatric treatment thus was undoubtedly necessary.

nNot only would Lie Mengmeng tell them that there was no shortcut in cultivation; he would also warn them of the error of their ways in eating the fruit so that they could reflect on it.

nSix students had been divided between wards 12 and 13.

nLie Mengmeng entered a ward with a roll of names. “Students Hero Guo, Super Chen and Su Xiao, please get ready, the psychological counselling is about to begin. This is compulsory for everyone, please cooperate.”

nThere was no response to his words in the room; it could even be said that the atmosphere wasn’t the least bit tense.

n“…”

nLie Mengmeng’s lips twitched, and he struggled to keep the smile on his face.

nLooking away from the roll of names, he lifted his head and caught sight of Dopey Guo and Super Chen, each of them with a game console in their hands. Both of them were probably playing some online game, and were so absorbed that their faces had turned very red, while Little Peanut was sitting by a bed and watching them.

nLie Mengmeng put his hands on his waist and pointed at one of them as he pretended to be angry. “Can you be a little serious… put your game consoles away!”

n“We just ate some fruit, the teachers are making a fuss over nothing.” Dopey Guo reluctantly put his game console away, and when he looked up and met Lie Mengmeng’s gaze, he was instantly astonished. “Doctor Song? Why is it you?”

nIt was only now that Lie Mengmeng finally saw his face clearly.

nInstinctively, his eyes welled up. “…”

nDamn it! Why was it him!

n…

nTo this day, Lie Mengmeng had been unable to forget when Dopey Guo had personally showed him how to conduct an anal exam during No. 60 High School’s physical examination for the military training… Even when he slept, he would dream of his ass being demolished – the psychological trauma was too deep!

n“Haha, I never expected to run into Doctor Song here again today.”

nDopey Guo scratched his head and laughed like a fool. “Are you going to give us psychological counselling?”

nLie Mengmeng heaved a bitter sigh. “That’s right…”

nDopey Guo: “So, are you doing part-time work again? Short of money again?”

n“…” Lie Mengmeng instantly took an arrow to the knee.

nDamn! Cut me some slack!

nHe put his hands on his waist and straightened his back with difficulty. “I’m qualified, alright?!”

nAlthough it had been many years since he’d graduated from university, he had studied under a great teacher, and he felt that he would never forget whatever knowledge of psychology he had gained in university back then, no matter how many more decades went by. The most crucial thing was that he hadn’t neglected his psychology studies all these years, and had obtained certification as a qualified psychiatrist; otherwise, the city office wouldn’t have assigned him this task.

nIn the last few years in particular, the country had become obsessed with certification; in the most extreme case, you needed certification to prove that your mother was your mother.

nLie Mengmeng laughed. “So? Want to see proof of my qualifications?”

n“It’s fine, it’s fine – this isn’t like several years ago, when things were really chaotic. For example, some people even became kindergarten teachers without any qualifications, and ruined the flowers of our motherland in particular! ” Dopey Guo sighed and waved his hands.

nLie Mengmeng forced a smile. “How unexpected that you this little fatty would understand things so well!”

n“My uncle told me.”

nDopey Guo sighed and pointed bitterly at his own face. “I really wonder if it was those crappy teachers who ruined my face when I was younger.”

nLie Mengmeng: “…”

nSuper Chen shook his head and patted Dopey Guo’s shoulder. “Old Guo, don’t lose heart; actually, you’re not that ugly… you’re even quite pleasant-looking.”

nLittle Peanut also nodded his head. “It’s not like you won’t be able to get a wife in the future anyway; good looks don’t count for much. Don’t you still have your parrot Dopey? Why haven’t we seen it around recently?”

nDopey Guo dropped his forehead into his hand. “…It also ate the fruit. It’s now being examined at the vet.”

nSuper Chen: “…”

nLittle Peanut: “…”

nLie Mengmeng: “…”

n…

nRoughly five minutes later, Lie Mengmeng’s psychological counselling officially began.

nHe called the three of them together and started with the first step.

nDeftly twirling a pen in one hand, he lowered his head to look at the medical records which he was holding in the other, then looked at them and asked, “Why did you eat the fruit?”

nThis was actually an important question. On the way to the hospital earlier, every teacher-in-charge had asked a similar question. In the end, they discovered that some of the students truly hadn’t eaten the fruit as a shortcut in cultivation for the sake of growing stronger… instead, they completely hadn’t understood what was going on, and had accidentally eaten it.

nSo before the official psychiatric treatment, Lie Mengmeng felt that it was necessary to be clear on the situation.

nAfter all, this psychiatric treatment was aimed especially at those students who had deliberately eaten the fruit for the sake of power.

nLie Mengmeng pointed at Super Chen. “You speak first.”

nSuper Chen nodded his head. “I have a friend… when I went back home after school that day, I texted him to ask how I could get stronger quickly in a short period of time. He told me it would be hard to do in a short time frame – unless I had a cheat. I only needed to eat the fruit, and I would obtain endless power. Then, he demonstrated how to eat it. Later, I realized that I didn’t need this thing… If I wanted to get stronger, I definitely couldn’t eat a fruit no one knew anything about.”

nLie Mengmeng’s lips twitched. “And then?”

nSuper Chen let out a sigh. “But my mom didn’t know; she thought that a relative had sent us this fruit. She straightaway cut it up and put a dish of it on my table. When I ate it, I thought it was just regular fruit.”

nLie Mengmeng: “…”

nHe took a deep breath and looked at Dopey Guo. “Then what about you…?”

nDopey Guo: “My case is pretty much the same. Everyday after school, I give Dopey some slices of fruit to eat: I eat the skin, it eats the flesh. This way, the both of us fell into Shuigou Sect’s trap.”

n“So you’re all saying that you ate the fruit by mistake?”

nLie Mengmeng was surprised, and turned to the last person, Little Peanut. “And why did you eat the fruit?”

nLittle Peanut smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. “I was hungry!”

nLie Mengmeng: “…”
