Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Mu Feng, if you don’t reply, I can only take it that you’ve tacitly agreed. I’ll only remain silent because I’m extremely ashamed. Not only does Guiyuan Academy teach the students extraordinary knowledge, but it also teaches precious grades and virtues. Only a person with an upright character can benefit a region after learning. There are so many students, some with good character, and naturally some with bad character. I thought that you had good aptitude, but I didn’t expect you…”
Su Xiaolu’s expression was cold, and her tone was unprecedentedly cold. In the end, Su Xiaolu deliberately did not continue, but everyone knew what she meant.
She also knew that not only did Mu Feng’s clumsy excuse fail to convince people, but it also backfired.
Mu Feng looked up in horror and knelt down with a thud.
Mu Feng’s body trembled uncontrollably. He admitted his mistake in a trembling voice. “Teacher, please calm down. It’s all my fault for being arrogant. I felt that it was too embarrassing for Teacher to let me clean the pigpen, so I couldn’t sleep all night. My thoughts were unstable, so I was often in a daze.”
At this moment, Mu Feng felt extremely humiliated.
It was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop, but he still felt like he was hearing overwhelming mockery.
He lowered his head, not even having the courage to look up.
He did not dare to look at Su Xiaolu’s expression at all. He only looked at Jiang Wanlin from the corner of his eye.
If only Jiang Wanlin could plead for leniency for him at this moment and resolve his embarrassment.
However, when his eyes met Jiang Wanlin’s, his heart sank.
Jiang Wanlin’s eyes were cold, and she was not worried about him at all.
Su Xiaolu snorted coldly. “You’re arrogant? No matter how noble your status is, can it be as noble as the imperial grandson? Why can’t you do what they can do? Aren’t you human too? Not only are you bad, but you also don’t have any morals. In the past few days, I’ve emphasized several times that you should do your own things well. What about you? Have you done it?”
Mu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t do it himself. He had Chen Lian’s help. He opened his mouth and gritted his teeth, making creaking sounds, making him lose his composure even more.
He felt even more ashamed and resentful. Everyone was watching him make a fool of himself. Everyone would definitely remember what had happened today. So what if he became more powerful in the future? They would still remember this matter and mock him behind his back.
Mu Feng gritted his teeth and kowtowed. He endured the humiliation and said, “Teacher, please calm down and give me another chance to turn over a new leaf. Mu Feng will definitely turn over a new leaf and not disappoint you. I beg you to give me another chance. I beg you to forgive me for being young and ignorant.”
No matter how indignant he was, he could only endure it at this moment.
He was humiliated to the extreme. His heart even ached.
However, he still did not hear Su Xiaolu say that she would forgive him. He could only continue to kowtow under the humiliation.
Su Xiaolu frowned and remained calm. All the disciples watched carefully and did not dare to make a sound.
In their opinion, Mu Feng was simply too evil and let Teacher Su down.
How was he unable to sweep the pigpen?
If he felt humiliated sweeping a pigpen now, what about doing other things in the future? How could a person who thought so highly of himself benefit the people? How could he feel the suffering of the people?
No matter how much Mu Feng hid, he would still reveal a little. He clearly couldn’t stand it, but he couldn’t give up fame and fortune. Such actions were really despicable.
“Teacher Su, if you want to blame someone, blame me. This isn’t Brother Mu Feng’s fault. I insisted on helping him. It’s all my fault.”
Chen Lian bit her lip until it was about to break. In the end, she decided to go all out. She pounced on Mu Feng and knelt down beside him. She also kowtowed to Su Xiaolu.
Mu Feng had been deliberately coaxing Jiang Wanlin for the past few days, making Chen Lian feel threatened. Now was the time for Mu Feng to be humiliated. Jiang Wanlin’s indifference was a good opportunity for her.
She had helped Mu Feng at this time. Mu Feng would definitely remember her.
Chen Lian’s sudden appearance surprised the disciples, who had varying expressions.
Chen Lian’s tears were like broken beads. She quickly cried until she was covered in tears. She choked and said her mistake. “Teacher Su, it’s all my fault for admiring you too much. I didn’t catch Teacher’s eye. When I saw Brother Mu Feng being punished by Teacher, I wanted to help him. I wanted to use this to please Brother Mu Feng. I wanted him to teach me a thing or two in the future. In the future, I said that if Teacher Su saw that I had made some progress in my studies in the future, he would also treat me differently.”
“Brother Mu Feng couldn’t dissuade me, so he asked me to help. Teacher, please forgive Brother Mu Feng. Punish me if you want to. No matter how Teacher punishes me, Chen Lian has no complaints. Teacher, please punish me.”
Chen Lian’s face was covered in tears. Her forehead was red and a little bloodshot, but she pursed her pale lips and pretended to be determined.
Chen Lian thought that she could move people like this.
She blinked away the tears in her eyes and glanced around, but she felt that something was wrong.
Mu Feng was indeed touched. He looked at Chen Lian gratefully and suddenly had the courage to take responsibility. He straightened his back and said to Su Xiaolu, “Teacher Su, I beg you to give me another chance. This time, I definitely won’t disappoint you. Teacher, please don’t blame Chen Lian. This is all my fault. I will bear it myself.”
Tears welled up in Chen Lian’s eyes. She immediately shook her head and was about to say something.
Su Xiaolu interrupted her. “Chen Lian, you’re naturally in the wrong. If you really want to study, you can work hard and specialize in it. In the future assessment, I’ll naturally see you in a different light. However, you have evil intentions and only want to take a shortcut. You haven’t been able to complete your own mission in the past few days, but these are separate matters. You have your punishment to suffer, and Mu Feng naturally has his.”
Su Xiaolu’s criticism was equivalent to shackles binding her body. Chen Lian forgot to cry and her face quickly turned pale.
“Mu Feng, Chen Lian, on account that you’re young, I’ll give you another chance. Chen Lian, if you don’t focus on studying, you’ll definitely be eliminated from the assessment. This is the fairest assessment for every disciple. As for Mu Feng, you’re arrogant and impatient. If I don’t grind you down, it’ll be difficult for you to achieve anything big in the future. I’ll punish you to continue cleaning the pigpen for 30 more days. If you want to become my disciple, it’s impossible for you not to change this time. However, even if I don’t take you in as my disciple, I won’t interfere with your normal classes and assessment. Do you have any objections to my arrangements?” Su Xiaolu’s aura was dignified and her expression was the strictest.
Mu Feng and Chen Lian naturally kowtowed in gratitude.
They were worried that Su Xiaolu would fire them immediately. It was already kind of her to let them stay.
How could the two of them dare to have any objections?
Su Xiaolu turned around calmly. “In that case, get up and continue the class.”
Su Xiaolu resumed class, and Mu Feng and Chen Lian returned to their seats. Both of them did not look too good, but they were serious now and did not dare to be distracted anymore..
