Chapter 67 This Disciple is Difficult to Teach (Two in One)

This "Xu Chu" is even more hateful than that ruffian Yao Qi. Although the latter doesn't listen to the lectures and doesn't accept teachings, when he is scolded and trained, the most he does is just stare blankly in dissatisfaction.

But the former is very different. His attitude is gentle and polite, but he is unforgiving with his words. He is unyielding and will argue unreasonably.

The most infuriating thing is... "he", such a young greenhorn and poor student, and he, a mere scholar, cannot even win an argument with her, and is often irritated by her twisted logic!
"He" used all his intelligence not in studying, but in how to fight against him.

"It's none of Master's business. It's all my fault."

Xu Shanshan left her seat and stood in front of the teacher who was being questioned by Gu Yuejiarong. She lowered her head, unable to discern her expression, but her tone was sincere as she said, "I'm really not a good student."

Gu Yuejiarong's gaze fell on her. Just now, Master Chen called her "Xu Chu".

This student named "Xu Chu" does not seem to have developed obvious male characteristics yet. He has soft features, is short in stature, speaks softly, and is still a teenager.

But this young man has his own unique ideas and is by no means stupid. Although he may not study well, it is not his fault.

It’s just that their thinking is biased. If teachers teach with patience, care and love, all the young “saplings” can grow into towering trees.

"There is no distinction between the classes in education. You said that, right? You are right. If every teacher treats his students differently when educating them, wouldn't such a teacher be immoral and lose his original purpose?"

Gu Yuejia Rong asked her back in a gentle voice.

Xu Shanshan said, "Sir, I am not wrong, but Master Chen is also not wrong. He cannot teach me and told me to seek help from someone else. Firstly, he really thinks that my qualifications are too poor to teach me to be a talent. Secondly, he is not a wise teacher who can revive a dead tree and his ability is limited."

"I wanted to read more books to understand right and wrong, cultivate my character, and improve my moral character, but it seems that I can't do that now."

When Master Chen heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and said, "Gu Yue Jun, I am also a poor teacher. Even if I can teach the students in Class C, I can't teach her alone!"

Wei Qiyao couldn't listen any longer, he stood up suddenly and said sarcastically: "You teachers give up easily when you encounter difficult students. You also teach students to persevere and never give up. You don't even have the ability to lead by example. You just talk down to your students."

"Shut up! The teachers are talking in class, and you, a student, have no right to interrupt." Mr. Chen picked up the ruler and slammed the table.

Wei Qiyao was angry but dared not say anything.

Who told him to be afraid of all teachers?

At this time, the principal of Yingtian Academy and several teachers hurried over, but saw that Gu Yuejiarong and a group of people from Bailuzhou Academy were all gathered in Class "C". The entrance was crowded with people, and a burst of angry shouting could be faintly heard from inside.

What happened?

"Sir, I'm sorry I can't drop out of school. I paid the tuition and the dean accepted me into the academy."

Master Chen paused, then remembered that "he" was still a relative, so he straightened his neck, waved his sleeves and said, "Then you can change your class. I want to live longer."

"Xu Chu" was well-known in Yingtian Academy, but it was not a good reputation. The teachers from other classes just arrived at the door and became panicked when they heard this.

"Mr. Chen, how can you just leave the students you have enrolled in your class to others?"

"My class is already full, and I'm afraid I can't get new students in."

"My class has advanced courses. I'm afraid she will be even more ignorant if she goes there, which will delay her future exams."

The teachers from other classes began to make excuses one after another, and were unwilling to accept "Xu Chu", a poor student.

No matter how legitimate the reasons they give are, everyone can clearly hear the disdain underneath their words.

Old Master Chen stroked his beard and listened with great pleasure.

He knew that no one would accept a student as naughty as "Xu Chu"? Therefore, it was not that he was not worthy of being a teacher, but that the other party was not worthy of being a student.

Studying is not suitable for "him", so "he" should just go home and herd cattle and plow the fields.

Gu Yuejiarong frowned. He saw that in the face of a lot of mixed words, "Xu Chu" never retorted or got angry. Instead, he stood there silently, with his head lowered, but his back straight, with a sense of pride.

His weak shoulders haven't grown into a pair of huge wings to cut through the thorns and brambles yet, but he has already suffered all kinds of malicious ridicule and contempt in the world... It's really pitiful.

The headmaster also came in. He asked knowingly, "What's going on?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent, restrained their outward expressions of disdain and disgust, and retreated to the side.

After the headmaster successfully took control of the situation, Xu Shanshan stopped listening to the noise and said self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that I am such a stubborn person that is difficult to teach. Every time I ask you a question, I actually want you to solve my doubts. When I answer you, I don't really want to argue with you. I just... really don't understand."

This is the truth.

Xu Shanshan is literate.

But what had she learned in the past?

Drawing symbols?

Fortune telling?

Face to face?

She had never read any books written by mortals, including all kinds of profound and mysterious books, unconventional methods, formations, strange strategies, and rituals.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to say that she is illiterate, but she is certainly not a cultured person.

When a person lacks too much common sense and generates his own set of theories, it is easy for him to give people the impression that he is deliberately making trouble and not listening to teachings.

She had no grudge against Old Madam Chen, so she didn't intend to cause trouble on purpose to anger him.

It was simply that he didn't like the way she acted.

She knew it, but she had no intention of changing it.

The headmaster knew that Xu Chu and Yao Qi were the relatives of the two fake fathers who were sent in by the head of Wei. After all, this matter was handled by him and was of great value, so he could not really kick them out.

"Xu Chu, you just listen to what the master says. You have been arguing with Master Chen and causing troubles several times, and you are so disobedient to the master. You..."

Just apologize and that's it.

But before the headmaster and the smooth talker could finish, Gu Yue Jiarong said first: "Why not hand the person over to me?"

Gu Yue Jiarong was filled with indignation and disappointment at this moment. He felt that everyone in this academy was so aggressive and harsh to a young man who had not yet experienced the world.

Indeed, the teachers of Yingtian Academy were too harsh on a young man who was a group of newcomers to Bailuzhou Academy and had no idea of ​​the inside story.

What's wrong with "him", he's just a little stupid. If he wasn't stupid, could he be in Class "C"?

But this doesn't mean they should be treated like this.

He was able to study at Yingtian Academy with great difficulty. He didn't even seek to make a name for himself in the future, but just wanted to understand the truth and improve his self-cultivation. Yet they forced him to drop out of school. How cruel!

What? !

Everyone looked over in surprise.

"Gu, Gu Yuejun, what do you mean by this?" Master Chen glared.

Gu Yuejia's face was expressionless, his flawless eyes sank slightly: "I will stay in Yingtian Academy for more than a month, and during this month, according to convention, several students from Yingtian Academy will be assigned to study with me, and I will choose Xu Chu."

"He has studied with me for a month. If his academic performance improves, I hope the teachers and the headmaster of Yingtian Academy can accept him back into the school." The headmaster's mouth twitched: "What if it doesn't work?"

"If it doesn't work, then it's my problem. If Yingtian Academy doesn't accept him, I will take him back to Bailuzhou Academy." Gu Yue Jiarong said.

What this means is that no matter what happens with "Xu Chu", he has to protect the other party.

The students of Yingtian Academy, who were watching the joke before, now became jealous and extremely sour.

"Xu Chu" this boy is so lucky!

I don’t know what’s so special about him that caught Mr. Gu Yue’s eye.

What caught his eye?
Nature is strong and unyielding, just like the flexible grass that will continue to grow even after being trampled upon.

Xu Shanshan understands the psychology of being a teacher too well. After all, she has taught many "rebels" before.

From the moment Gu Yuejiarong appeared in the classroom and showed her an appreciative and gentle teacher's look, she knew that he did not recognize her, his fiancée who was sold to him for a hundred gold coins.

He treated her as a student who was misunderstood by the world. His attitude was so lenient and tolerant, full of the care and responsibility of an elder.

Therefore, her current situation and forbearance were all intentional.

Xu Shanshan looked at Gu Yue Jiarong, his eyes wandering around his body. He sensed the presence of a magic weapon, but he couldn't find it in an exposed place. So where was the thing hidden?

Wei Canghao needs the magic weapon for self-defense, and it is indispensable for dealing with King Jin and the evil master. It is inconvenient for her to obtain it for the time being.

But Gu Yue Jiarong can take action now.

He is a teacher and she is now his student. Once they have established a deep "teacher-student" relationship, it will not be difficult to induce him to give her gifts.

"This... since this is the student that Gu Yuejun personally wanted, then of course it's fine." The dean laughed dryly, but he was a little worried, afraid that the other party would regret it later because of an impulse, so he added: "This student Xu Chu is smart, but he is a little different. About this point..."

Gu Yue Jiarong interrupted gently: "No one is perfect. If there is something missing, then make up for it. The students I have taught are not all the same."

At this time, he did not yet know that people were evil and that all his disciples were sinners, especially Xu Shanshan. Therefore, he was confident that he could teach this "different" student well.

"That's good, that's good. I'll trouble Gu Yuejun to teach me. Now please follow us to rest and have lunch, and then we'll go to the elegant gathering later."

-

After the people from Bailuzhou Academy left, Mr. Chen felt ashamed and left angrily, so he also suspended the class. Students from other classes left one after another when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

The students in Class C gathered around Xu Shanshan and started a heated discussion.

"You are amazing, Xu Chu. You have made it to the top and become a student of the famous teacher in Bailuzhou. I am so envious of you for your blessing."

"That's right. If I had known that arguing with the old man and making a fuss would attract Mr. Gu Yue, I would have really risked it!"

"We are all poor students, so why don't we have this opportunity? You just entered school not long ago, so you don't know that the students who are selected by Bailuzhou Academy to audit courses are all the top students in our academy. It's impossible for us to have this opportunity."

After listening to all that nonsense, Wei Qiyao finally understood what was going on. However, not only was he a poor student, he also had no desire to improve himself.

"No one wants to listen to those pedantic speeches. It makes me fall asleep."

"What do you know? It's just that Master Chen's level is not good. The lectures of other teachers are very interesting. I have attended them. I think if I were their student, I would definitely benefit a lot."

"You mean Mr. Lei Feng? His lectures are indeed humorous, his ideas are brilliant, and he explains things in simple terms... But that was in the past. Now he often looks scary and skinny. I've also heard people say that strange and scary noises are often heard in his yard."

"Hey! You're the one who's scaring me. Mr. Lei is just feeling unwell. He's only been like this recently. Don't exaggerate."

Next, they began to discuss Mr. Chen’s backward teaching method which had remained the same for ten years, and criticized him for being the no wonder that he had been teaching Class “C” for many years.

All the students under me have no future. This is not only because the worst students are assigned to them, but also because of the worst teaching.

Xu Shanshan stood up and glanced at Wei Qiyao. He understood, and the two left the classroom together.

"What do you think? Do you want to be a student of that Gu Yuejun?"

"Ah."

She seemed to be thinking about something and answered nonchalantly.

Wei Qiyao tugged at his collar, which was tightened in a proper manner, and said unhappily, "My eldest brother sent us here to study, so you just need to pretend. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Xu Shanshan naturally would not explain her behavior to Wei Qiyao. She suddenly said, "Behave yourself. There are people from the Lei family in this academy. Go and deal with them."

"How to deal with it?"

"Kill, kidnap, imprison, whatever you want, just cut off the spies."

Wei Qiyao: "Who?"

"Thunder Wind."

"The gentleman they were discussing?"

"Ah."

She looked up and saw through Feng Shui that the sky above the academy should have been a place where winds and energy gathered, but now someone had stolen its "bloodline" and formed a kind of yin energy.

Although it won't be a serious problem in the short term, the situation may be different once it reaches the most ominous day, "Mid-July".

"What are you looking at?"

Wei Qiyao saw that she was looking at the sky while talking, so he also looked up. It was a clear sky, bright and clean, with nothing unusual.

"Why is Yingtian Academy named Yingtian?"

She asked a confusing question.

"...How would I know? Follow the will of heaven? Accept the destiny?" He made some random guesses.

"But I think it's due to fate, cough..."

Before she could finish her words, Xu Shanshan suddenly had a dry cough. Her breathing became disordered and veins bulged on her slender neck, as if something was rushing through her body, disrupting her balance.

"What's wrong with you? Ever since you came back from Kuroshima, you've been feeling uncomfortable like this from time to time. If you're sick, I'll take you to see a doctor." He patted her back gently to ease her pain.

"it's useless……"

Xu Shanshan shook her head.

Because what she had was not a disease, it was her life.

-

Later, Xu Shanshan was arranged to live in Gu Yuejiarong's residence, and from then on, she had to eat and live with him.

On the surface, she was a student who was temporarily exchanged between two academies for teaching, but in reality, she was arranged by the academy to take care of Gu Yue Jiarong's food and daily life and act as an errand boy.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. No one was around. Xu Shanshan gently pushed open Gu Yuejiarong's half-closed door...
