The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1316 - 1316 643 taels two more

Chapter 1316: 643 taels two more Chapter 1316: 643 taels two more The group was stunned by Gu Jiao’s actions, who said that all students from Tianqiong Academy were bookish and easy to bully?

Take a good look, do these look like bookworms to you?

Which bookworm fights so fiercely?

Wuyue Academy is a Wuju Academy where everyone practices martial arts, yet they can’t beat a freshman from Tianqiong Academy!

Where could they go to reason this out?

Gu Xiaoshun didn’t care what these people turned into from shock, as long as they understood his words,

After Gu Jiao cleaned up the students who came looking for trouble, she left with Gu Xiaoshun.

“Sister, will they tattle?” asked Gu Xiaoshun.

Theoretically, they shouldn’t.

It’s mainly because these people want to save face, being hung and beaten by a Wen Ju student, word getting out would ruin their reputation.

Gu Jiao guessed right, indeed none of these people had the face to announce they had been beaten up, however, it just so happened that their beating was seen by a passing parent of a Wuyue Academy student.

The parent immediately informed Wuyue Academy.

Before noon, the dean of Wuyue Academy and two masters, together with several injured students, stormed into Tianqiong Academy.

At Tianqiong Academy, Dean Cen was in the duty room watering his beloved potted peonies when he heard from his servants that people from Wuyue Academy had arrived; his first reaction was, “Were our students bullied by them again?”

Wuyue Academy, those shameless people, always domineering, there are few nearby academies that haven’t been tormented by them.

It’s not that everyone can be bullied by them, nobles like Mu Qingchen naturally no one dares to provoke, but with thousands of students in the academy, who can guarantee everyone is Mu Qingchen?

The servant hesitantly reported, “It seems… it was our academy’s students… who beat up their students…”

Dean Cen: “…”

The dean of Wuyue Academy, Dean Wu, also encountered such a situation for the first time; usually, others came to their academy to complain, today it’s their turn to go and lodge a complaint against someone else.

In Dean Cen’s duty room, Dean Wu showed Dean Cen and the masters from Tianqiong Academy who were free that morning the eight students he brought with him.

All eight students had been involved in the fight that morning and, without exception, their faces were bruised and swollen, with one severely injured and sent to the Medical Hall, unable to get out of bed, so he did not come to the scene.

“Look! This is the trouble caused by your Tianqiong Academy!” said Dean Wu coldly.

Dean Cen’s eyes lit up, “Really? Was it done by our students?”

Master Wu cleared his throat: “Ahem!”

Dean Cen’s face turned serious as he said sternly, “You say it was our students who did it? What evidence do you have?”

Dean Wu pointed at the group of swollen-faced students, angrily declaring, “They are the evidence!”

“Who did it?” Dean Cen asked Master Wu softly.

Silently, Master Wu mouthed through gritted teeth in a voice only the two of them could hear, “They said it was the freshman with a birthmark on his face, likely Xiao Liulang from Mingxin Hall.”

Once at the academy, everyone is a student of the academy. When distinguishing between them, Master Wu would not say which country the students came from but which hall they belonged to.

The name sounded a bit familiar to Dean Cen. Frowning, he asked, “Is it that freshman who got marked for visiting the Brothel on his first day here?”

Master Wu: “…Yes, that’s him.” He paused, then added, “It was also him who tamed the Horse King.”

Upon the mention of the Horse King, Dean Cen remembered his near-death experience almost being trampled, and his face darkened.

Dean Wu said coldly, “Tianqiong Academy must give us an explanation today!”

Dean Cen laughed sardonically, “What kind of explanation would you like?”

Dean Wu said, “The laziness of an untaught teacher! Your academy failed to educate and is unquestionably responsible! You must compensate our students for all their medical expenses and losses! In addition, you must apologize to our academy! That student must also apologize to the students he injured! Lastly, a person who flouts the law like this does not deserve to be a student of Shengdu and should be expelled!”

Master Yang from Tianqiong Academy couldn’t bear to listen any longer, “Isn’t Wuyue Academy reaching a bit too far? How we handle our students is our academy’s matter, not yours to interfere with! Besides, haven’t your students caused trouble outside as well? How did you deal with it then? It was merely students being impulsive, driven by youthful vigor, why resort to drastic measures? If it got blown out of proportion, it would ruin the child’s future. Now you’re not worried about ruining someone’s future!”
