Urban Wolf King
Chapter 49 - 49 49 Trouble

49: Chapter 49 Trouble 49: Chapter 49 Trouble Hearing Xie Xiaoxian’s words, everyone knew that Wang Yan had been underhandedly tricked by “Dead Fish Eyes” from behind.

Xie Xiaoxian despised when male and female students neglected their studies because of relationships, especially when the female students involved were her favorites, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting.

Therefore, at this moment, Xie Xiaoxian surely saw Wang Yan as a thorn in her side.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have already asked Wang Yan to recite “Former Expedition,” not even a minute into class.

Even an Immortal couldn’t recite it offhand.

Now, Wang Yan was really in trouble, being targeted by the “witch”; if not dead, he’d surely be injured.

This made the female students in the class nervous; they worried Wang Yan would be expelled right after arriving for class.

However, the male students, led by Xiong Jie, were secretly pleased.

If Wang Yan was expelled, the female students wouldn’t focus only on him, giving them a chance to not remain single.

But Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting were shocked.

They had just opened their books and hadn’t even finished the first line, and Xie Xiaoxian was already asking Wang Yan to recite it; how was that possible?

“Teacher Xie, wasn’t he supposed to have 20 minutes to memorize it?” Beiming Xue hurriedly said.

“Yeah, it’s not even a minute yet!” Ouyang Feiting added.

Hearing Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting defending Wang Yan together only made Xie Xiaoxian angrier as she sternly said, “Didn’t you preview the lesson?

The first lesson should have been memorized before the start of school.

I’m checking the results of your preview.

Wang Yan, start reciting quickly, or I’ll fail you directly.”

At this, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting were completely dumbfounded.

Xie Xiaoxian had never been so harsh on them.

Even if she had been harsh, making them prepare for a preview was blatantly ridiculous; it was obvious she was being unfair to Wang Yan.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jun raised his hand and said, “Teacher, our boss…

oh, classmate Wang Yan, it’s his first day, so he might not have previewed.

I’ve previewed the text.

Let me recite it.”

Ma Jun was an excellent student in the class, a first prize scholarship recipient, and one of Xie Xiaoxian’s favored students.

When Ma Jun offered an explanation, Xie Xiaoxian became even more furious.

“Still calling him boss?

Wang Yan must not stay!

Among the only three good students in this class, Ma Jun calls him boss, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting are attached to him, this one Wang Yan has wasted my three good students.

Hmph, he needs to go.” The more Xie Xiaoxian thought about it, the angrier she became, so she ignored Ma Jun and kept staring at Wang Yan, gritting her teeth, “You…

still won’t recite.”

Seeing Xie Xiaoxian fixated on Wang Yan, Ma Jun and the others exchanged glances, momentarily out of ideas.

At this point, Wang Yan merely smiled faintly, patting the worried Ma Jun beside him, smiling slightly at the concerned-looking Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, he stood up and said, “Alright, as the ancient saying goes: Good books are worth reading a hundred times, the more you study, the more you understand!

Memorizing ancient texts is certainly important.”

Before Wang Yan could finish, Xie Xiaoxian coldly interrupted him, “Cut the crap, start reciting.”

Everyone was startled to hear the usually refined Xie Xiaoxian say such a thing, causing Ma Jun and his friends to worry more; Wang Yan was in clear danger now.

Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting simultaneously decided that as soon as this class was over, they would go home and utilize any family influence they had to prevent Xie Xiaoxian from failing Wang Yan.

Even though they knew it would be hard, as Xie Xiaoxian was famously unyielding, they had no choice but to try.

At this point, no one believed Wang Yan could somehow escape Xie Xiaoxian’s punishment, unless the sun started rising in the west.

In response to Xie Xiaoxian’s reprimand, Wang Yan simply smiled gently and said, “Alright.

I’ll begin reciting now…”

Xie Xiaoxian was still impatiently waiting for Wang Yan to slip up on even a single sentence so she could immediately fail him.

“Former Expedition, Zhuge Liang.

The late Emperor initiated his endeavors only halfway before passing; today, the land is divided into three parts, Yizhou is weakened, and indeed, this is a perilous time of life and death…”

Wang Yan began reciting.

Once he started, it flowed like clouds and water, every word was clear and distinct, with a powerful resonance.

Initially, Xie Xiaoxian wore a cold, disdainful expression, ready to catch Wang Yan’s mistakes at any moment.

But soon, she looked utterly surprised, and as this surprise spread across her face, by the end, she was gaping, wholly dumbfounded.

“…I have to leave now, tears streaming down my face as I present this statement.

Teacher, I’m done reciting!” When Wang Yan recited the last sentence, he nodded slightly at Xie Xiaoxian and then sat back down.

The classroom went silent, and all eyes turned to Wang Yan, filled with surprise, disbelief, admiration, and even jealousy.

Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting looked at Wang Yan with eyes full of admiration that shone brightly.

“Brother Wang Yan is amazing!”

Ma Jun excitedly said, “Boss is incredible.”

Hearing Ma Jun and the others, Xie Xiaoxian snapped out of her shock.

Although her impression of Wang Yan had started to shift, hearing “Brother Wang Yan” and “boss” reignited her anger.

She thought: No, this student cannot stay here.

As it is, Beiming Xue and the others are already this devoted to Wang Yan, and they’ll only be more corrupted by him.

With this in mind, Xie Xiaoxian coldly said, “Alright, now Wang Yan will recite the second lesson—’Later Expedition.’

Hearing this, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting immediately looked up, shocked at Xie Xiaoxian.

“Teacher Xie, the first lesson hasn’t even been taught yet, why have Wang Yan recite the second?”

“Yeah, even if we previewed, no one previews two texts at once.”

“This isn’t reasonable.”

“And it isn’t fair.”

Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting each took turns chastising Xie Xiaoxian.

Xie Xiaoxian felt more convinced of her decision, thinking: Now for Wang Yan, Beiming Xue and the others dare to defy me, they’ll only be more troublesome in the future.

Even if I’m dubbed a villainous teacher today, I must expel Wang Yan from this school.

Thus, Xie Xiaoxian completely ignored them and coldly fixed her gaze on Wang Yan, saying, “The two ‘Expeditions’ are essentially one lesson, asking you to memorize them isn’t too much, get up and recite quickly, or I’ll have to follow the rules to punish you.”

At these words, the entire class was stunned, even the boys who wanted Wang Yan gone couldn’t stop shaking their heads.

“If this isn’t putting you on the spot, what is.”

“Looks like Wang Yan’s doomed this time.”

“Sigh, while I wanted him expelled, this method by Teacher Xie is a bit much.”

The entire class’s sympathy for Wang Yan surged, lamenting his misfortune; expulsion seemed unavoidable.

Under the pitying gazes of his classmates, Wang Yan stood up and calmly began, “Later Expedition, Zhuge Liang.

The late Emperor deeply considered that Han and the bandits could not coexist, that the royal enterprise could not be stable, so he entrusted me with expelling the bandits…”

Three minutes later, Wang Yan once again calmly sat back down, leaving everyone, led by Xie Xiaoxian, gaping at him in stunned silence.
