Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Accusation of Blackmail

"You impudent thing, how dare you be so presumptuous towards a teacher?"

Ouyang Xiu, as a teacher, has always maintained a dignified and authoritative image in front of the students. Now, being publicly criticized by a student, accused of poor character, greatly negatively impacted his image.

Ouyang Xiu was furious, and in his rage, he complained to Director Niu, "Director Niu, look at this student, so out of line! With a bit of achievement, he’s got his tail in the air!"

"In my opinion, his success in harvesting that thousand-year-old Medicinal Herb has more to do with luck. It’s like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat."

"He’s a student from Class 5; I’m not really in a position to discipline him, so I can only ask you to strictly punish this impolite student!"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but wear a puzzled expression, this teacher Ouyang Xiu really was blind. He even went to tattle to Niu Baotian.

Not only did Niu Baotian beg Chu Feng to take him on as a disciple two days ago, but his very life was also in Chu Feng’s hands.

Does Niu Baotian dare to show Chu Feng even the slightest disrespect?

"Come here, you, come here!" Niu Baotian might act like a grandchild in front of Chu Feng, but in front of Ouyang Xiu, he was flying high.

He gestured to Ouyang Xiu with his hands.

Ouyang Xiu, observing Director Niu’s serious face, rejoiced inwardly, thinking Director Niu was about to support him and give Chu Feng a harsh lesson.

"You little brat, daring to be disrespectful to me, your teacher, let’s see how you will die!"

As Ouyang Xiu approached Director Niu, he immediately slumped his shoulders, bent slightly at the waist, displaying a servile and fawning expression.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he drew near, Director Niu’s face turned fierce, and with a raised hand, he slapped him across the face with a "smack," landing heavily on Ouyang Xiu’s cheek.

"How is Chu Feng impolite? What he said was all true!"

"On the other hand, you, as a mentor, lack any teaching morals. You deserve to be hit!"

This slap from Niu Baotian wasn’t just a hit on Ouyang Xiu’s cheek but also a strike to his heart. With one slap, his dignity was shattered to pieces.

In front of all the students and teachers, after receiving a big slap, Ouyang Xiu probably wished he could die.

"Students in your class are people, but students from other classes aren’t? Honor the bet after losing."

"Qiao Sheng, you lost, so you should have the awareness to accept your punishment. As for the bet with Chu Feng, you should abide by it honestly! Otherwise, I, the Academic Director, am not just for show,"

After he finished lecturing Ouyang Xiu, Niu Baotian reprimanded Qiao Sheng as well, forcing Qiao Sheng to abide by the bet.

Teacher Xie Bing and Lin Yuxin, among others, all revealed smiles, feeling a sense of exhilarating vindication like never before.

Finally, the villain received his comeuppance.

Qiao Sheng’s handsome face was a mix of green and red.

"Director Niu, you make me kneel in the playground and demean myself, humiliated by Chu Feng, a poor student; surely this isn’t the act of a wise person, right?"

Qiao Sheng never thought he would lose, so he hadn’t considered that he could be the one being punished.

He would have liked to back out of it, but with Director Niu backing Chu Feng and upholding justice, it seemed impossible to dodge the consequences.

With no choice left, Qiao Sheng resorted to his status as a top student.

"Principal, I am the top Alchemy Dao prodigy of the junior year, to be humiliated by a poor student could likely crush my confidence, leading to my downfall. Please, have a word on my behalf!" Qiao Sheng has always performed exceptionally well, earning the Principal’s favor.

At this moment, since Niu Baotian wouldn’t help him, he had no choice but to seek help from the Principal.

"Integrity is the foundation of one’s character, and I am afraid no one can help you with this!"

"Moreover, I must remind you! Perhaps for many of you, Chu Feng just got lucky to dig up a Medicinal Herb of more than a thousand years. However, the Principal doesn’t think so, when you all mocked him for digging up a Medicinal Herb of only twenty-eight years, do you remember his expression at that time?"

"He called you all blind!"

"This suggests that Chu Feng probably knew long ago that this medicinal herb was over a thousand years old. Even the Dean, with his naked eye, could only vaguely infer that the age of the Seven Stars Grass must not be low."

"And he was so certain before even performing the vinegar scraping test. The Dean believes that this is likely not mere luck, but a sign of significant strength."

The Dean’s words led everyone to reveal expressions of deep contemplation.

Those who were quick-witted regarded Chu Feng with eyes filled with shock and admiration.

Among them, Lin Yuxin became one of the two people with the most unperturbed expression, for she had known long ago about Chu Feng’s remarkable skills; it’s just that this guy liked to hide his light under a bushel.

Thus, outsiders thought he was trash.

"Chu Feng, you are so amazing, I really admire you!"

"Are you free this evening? How about we find a quiet place, and you teach me how to identify the age of medicinal herbs, okay?"

A girl of average looks was throwing flirtatious glances at Chu Feng, ready to throw herself into his arms.

"Brother Chu Feng, I want to learn too!" a petite girl with delicate features cooed at him.

...

In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng had become the star of Class Five.

The girls in the class, who normally wouldn’t even give him a second glance, were now several of them openly throwing themselves at him. Such treatment made many of the boys who previously looked down on him extremely envious.

"No time, no time! This evening, I still need to enjoy Qiao Sheng publicly berating himself as a fool on the field!"

Having experienced betrayal before, Chu Feng was quite chilly towards women.

However, it also depended on the circumstances. Lin Yuxin held a special place in Chu Feng’s heart—not that he was particularly fond of Lin Yuxin, but rather this body had a deep obsession.

The old Waste Third Prince had always been secretly in love with Lin Yuxin.

Chu Feng had taken over the body to reincarnate; rebelling strongly against this body’s obsession could easily create inner demons, and also severely affect the fusion of soul and body.

"Damn it... today, that bastard Chu Feng outshone everyone else and thoroughly humiliated me!"

"I have to remember this debt and settle the score sooner or later!"

Qiao Sheng’s face was ashen with resentment towards Chu Feng.

As the day turned to dusk, all the students lined up to return to the academy. When they reached the field, Qiao Sheng, no matter how unwilling, could only kneel on the high platform of the field.

"Hurry up and curse, don’t dawdle, everyone’s waiting to see the monkey show!" urged Chu Feng.

Qiao Sheng almost broke his teeth from clenching them so hard, clenched his fists, and his face had already turned the color of a monkey’s butt.

"I am an idiot..." he muttered to himself quietly.

"Louder, didn’t you eat? A quiet voice doesn’t count; you have to loudly curse a thousand times!" Chu Feng scolded sternly.

The bottom-ranked student, now commanded with great authority in front of everyone, harshly disciplining the top student in the lower grades. This caused the audience to erupt with sharp screams and cheers.

Many were goading him on.

Especially those poor-performing students; they felt it was incredibly satisfying.

"I am an idiot, I am an idiot..." Even though Qiao Sheng wished he could swallow Chu Feng alive, he still had no choice but to tough it out and loudly insult himself.

Sow evil, reap evil; everything has its consequences.
