51: Chapter 51: Pack of Wolves Surround 51: Chapter 51: Pack of Wolves Surround When they heard that Wang Yan had made a mistake, even just one character, Xie Xiaoxian refused to let it go, and was even using this single mistake as a reason to expel Wang Yan.

The class was in an uproar once again.

Ouyang Feiting snorted coldly and said, “Xie Xiaoxian, are you crazy?

Expelling Brother Wang Yan over a single character?

If you dare do that, I’ll use my family’s influence to get you expelled instead.”

Beiming Xue also said, “Yeah, it’s just one wrong character, Brother Wang Yan has memorized the entire book.”

Xie Xiaoxian said coldly, “A mistake is a mistake.

And he didn’t even admit it when he was wrong, which shows he has a character issue.

So I have every reason to expel him.”

Wang Yan said calmly, “As the ancient saying goes, ‘A gentleman does not deceive,’ and I don’t lie.

This article ‘A Man Lost an Axe’ is from ‘The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family: Rid of Blame.’ I have read the original ‘Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family.’

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoxian burst out laughing even more: “Wang Yan, are you crazy?

Do you know from when ‘The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family’ is?”

Wang Yan responded, “Of course I know, it’s a Pre-Qin classic.”

Xie Xiaoxian said, “Pre-Qin classics were all burned thousands of years ago during Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Burning Books and Burying Confucians.

They aren’t even preserved in the national museum, yet you say you have seen it?”

Wang Yan replied, “If they were all burned thousands of years ago, then how does everyone know about the book now?”

Xie Xiaoxian was taken aback, unable to answer for a moment, and said, “Anyway, you made a mistake.

Unless you bring that book here, I will expel you.”

Wang Yan replied coldly, “Fine, I can bring the book, but it will take some time.”

Xie Xiaoxian widened her eyes and said, “I’ll wait for you.

It’s my class all morning and I’m not doing anything else.

I’ll just wait here.

But Wang Yan, if you don’t bring it back by noon, you should pack your things and leave this school.”

Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting stood up simultaneously and said, “Brother Wang Yan, I’ll drive you there.”

Ma Jun also said, “I’ll go too.”

Wang Yan said, “There’s no need.

Beiming Xue knows where it is, let Beiming Xue drive me.”

As soon as Beiming Xue heard this, she immediately remembered the place she met Wang Yan and nodded.

Ma Jun sat back down, but Ouyang Feiting, unlike Ma Jun, didn’t listen and immediately followed Wang Yan and Beiming Xue out of the classroom.

The three rushed to the parking lot and got into Beiming Xue’s Maserati.

The red Maserati was seen speeding out of the school like the wind, heading towards the mountains outside Wanghai City.

In the classroom, seeing Wang Yan leave with confidence, Xie Xiaoxian began to doubt and hurried to the school library, found the “Ancient Prose Collection” published by the national publishers, and located ‘The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family: Rid of Blame.’

She discovered that the book in print was exactly identical to the one in the textbook.

Furthermore, the “Ancient Prose Collection” included some photos of the stone inscriptions of the ‘Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family: Rid of Blame,’ but the script was fuzzy, only giving an approximate meaning.

Xie Xiaoxian returned to the classroom, clutching the “Ancient Prose Collection,” waiting for Wang Yan to come back so she could thoroughly humiliate him before rightfully expelling him.

Meanwhile, the red Maserati had already driven into the mountains outside Wanghai City, and Wang Yan now knew that this range of mountains was called the Three Principles Peak.

Stopping at the foot of Three Principles Peak, Wang Yan told Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting to wait in the car while he walked into the mountains.

After entering the mountain, Wang Yan started moving faster and faster, quickly transforming into a blue streak, passing through layers of mountains, and crossing one dense forest after another.

In no time, he returned to the valley where he had lived for eighteen years.

In the valley, the thatch cottage was still there, unchanged in the slightest.

Walking into the cottage, everything appeared as it used to be: the wooden bed, wooden table, an oil lamp, and an ancient book on the table.

In a corner of the cabin, Wang Yan lifted a massive stone beside the cottage with one hand.

Inside the stone was a hollow space filled with bamboo slips and ancient books.

Wang Yan reached in and pulled out a scroll of bamboo slips, and on it were countless words carved, the first few being ‘The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Family: Rid of Blame.’

Holding the bamboo slips, Wang Yan sat beside the wooden table.

Although he had been gone for just over ten days, he felt a myriad of emotions.

Looking at the familiar scene, Wang Yan muttered to himself, “I didn’t expect so many incidents to occur after leaving the mountain for just a few days.

The people down the mountain are unpredictable and indeed the martial world is full of perils.”

“Back then, while cultivating here in the valley with my mentor, though the training was tough, it was carefree and happy, unlike this exhausting life down the mountain.”

“Even now, I still don’t understand why my mentor insisted that I come down the mountain, that I must stand at the pinnacle of the world.”

“Mentor, where are you now?

Yan’er has so many questions and doesn’t know what to do!”

By the wooden table, Wang Yan muttered to himself, and only at this moment did he seem less domineering than usual, revealing a hint of confusion.

Down the mountain, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting saw that Wang Yan had been gone for over half an hour but hadn’t returned, and they began to worry.

Ouyang Feiting asked, “Where is Brother Wang Yan’s home?

Why hasn’t he returned yet?”

Beiming Xue shook her head and said, “I don’t know.

I only saw him at the foot of the mountain.”

Ouyang Feiting said anxiously, “How long are we going to wait here?

Let’s go up the mountain to find him.”

Beiming Xue said hesitantly, “But Brother Wang Yan told us to wait for him here.”

Ouyang Feiting said, “If you want to wait, fine, but I’m going by myself.”

Saying this, Ouyang Feiting got out of the car and headed up the mountain.

Beiming Xue hesitated for a long while before following Ouyang Feiting.

The two walked into the mountain.

At first, the mountain road had stone steps, making it comparatively easier to walk, but gradually, as they went further, the road became more rugged, eventually turning into dirt paths.

However, neither thought that where Wang Yan lived could be far, so they gritted their teeth and continued on.

Gradually, there was no longer a path in the mountain, and they were surrounded by overgrown grass, taller than a person, completely obscuring the surroundings.

After walking through the weeds for a while, they were already losing their sense of direction.

Beiming Xue, now somewhat afraid, said, “We should go back, we must have taken the wrong path.

Brother Wang Yan might have already returned.”

Ouyang Feiting, also hesitating, said, “Alright, let’s head back the way we came.”

With that, the two turned around and started heading back down the mountain.

At this moment, they suddenly heard “rustling” footsteps behind them.

Both of them rejoiced and turned around, calling out, “Brother Wang Yan—”

However, when they turned, they found a pair of cold eyes staring out from the grass, and a Gray Wolf with bared fangs emerged from the grass.

“A wolf!” Ouyang Feiting and Beiming Xue were shocked, and without thinking, they immediately tried to escape down the mountain.

However, they had only taken a few steps when they heard the rustling in the grass again.

Several Gray Wolves emerged from the vegetation, surrounding Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting.

In no time, dozens of Gray Wolves appeared around them, enclosing them tightly.
