She needed it. She needed it so much.
“Fourth Brother, there’s another pair. Who is it?”
Su Xiaolu was a little curious.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “They’re the children of an old friend of mine. Their names are Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan. Wang Mingyue is 12 years old, and Fang Lan is 14 years old. Coincidentally, their parents are also family friends. They both have superpowers and came to the academy to improve.”
“Arrange for them to be together with Mu Feng, Jiang Wanlin, and the others. Arrange for them to be in the same group for learning missions. With comparison, it’ll be easier to see them clearly.”
Zhou Zhi’s smile deepened. He gathered people in the same situation. They were all engaged since they were young, but what they could see and feel was ditrerent. Witn a comparison, as long as Jiang wannn was not stupid, sne could understand a little.
The worry in Su Xiaolu’s heart dissipated. She kept nodding. “That’s great. Let’s do that.”
Zhou Zhi couldn’t help but smile when he saw that Su Xiaolu was in a good mood.
He even brought Su Xiaolu to see Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan. After asking some questions, he asked them to go to her class tomorrow.
After they were done, the two of them separated.
Su Xiaolu returned to her room and could finally sleep in peace.
Su Xiaolu went to make arrangements the next day. As a teacher, she could choose some students to give some missions. This was the prelude to all teachers tacitly accepting disciples.
It was a clear test.
After Su Xiaolu’s lecture ended, she called out with a serious expression, “Jiang
Wanlin, Mu Feng, Wang Mingyue, Fang Lan, stay behind.”
Jiang Wanlin’s eyes lit up. She was obviously very happy. She looked at Mu Feng and revealed a look of joy.
Mu Feng was also happy, but after Chen Lian tugged at his sleeve, Mu Feng frowned slightly.
Wang Mingyue smiled and nudged Fang Lan. The two of them bowed together.
“Wang Mingyue greets Teacher.” “Fang Lan greets Teacher.”
Fang Lan also smiled gently.
Wang Mingyue was lively and active, but her family had been scholars for generations. Fang Lan was gentle and quiet, but his family was full of generals and warriors.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts and studied together. They were very happy.
Seeing that they had already paid their respects, Jiang Wanlin hurriedly pulled
Mu Feng and whispered, “Quickly pay your respects to Teacher.”
After Jiang Wanlin finished signaling, she also bowed respectfully to Su Xiaolu and said, “Jiang Wanlin greets Teacher Su.”
Mu Feng struggled and hesitated. In the end, he looked up at Su Xiaolu and asked worriedly, “Teacher Su, Sister Chen Lian likes to listen to your lessons too. Can you let Sister Chen Lian come to learn more?”
Chen Lian was weak. If he studied under the teacher, he wouldn’t be able to be by Chen Lian’s side often. According to her personality, she would definitely be bullied by others.
She had pulled him timidly just now. She clearly had a lot to say, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to say it. She could only swallow all the bitterness herself.
Mu Feng felt terrible. He knew that Su Xiaolu was very strict, but in the end, he still mustered up the courage to speak for Chen Lian.
After Mu Feng finished speaking, Chen Lian’s eyes lit up and she looked at Mu Feng with admiration.
Mu Feng was encouraged by this look. He looked at Su Xiaolu again. This time, he was clearly more confident. He said again, “Teacher Su, please let Chen Lian learn from you on account of her sincerity.” Chen Lian also looked at Su Xiaolu weakly.
Jiang Wanlin frowned. She was very unhappy.
Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan looked at each other. Wang Mingyue pursed her lips, and Fang Lan smiled helplessly without saying anything.
Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng and said calmly, “What do you mean? If I don’t accept her, will I let her down?”
Su Xiaolu’s face turned cold and she looked imposing.
Mu Feng immediately felt the pressure and panicked.
Before he could speak, Chen Lian said weakly, “Teacher, don’t be angry. That’s not what Brother Mu Feng meant. Brother Mu Feng is just taking care of me to prevent me from being bullied.”
Mu Feng looked at Chen Lian and was immediately protective. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Teacher, I didn’t mean that. I just hope you can give Chen
Lian a chance.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian and said, “Have you been bullied before?”
Chen Lian immediately shook her head in panic. “No, no. I’ve never been bullied.”
Su Xiaolu frowned and was a little unhappy. “Then why did you say that Mu Feng wanted to take care of you just now to prevent you from being bullied?”
Chen Lian was speechless. “I… I just…”
Mu Feng blocked Chen Lian behind him and explained, “Teacher Su, a few students scolded Chen Lian previously. She has a weak personality. Others took
advantage of that.”
Mu Feng was a little unhappy. He felt that Su Xiaolu was too strict.
Su Xiaolu was still cold. “What are the names of those students? The academy doesn’t allow bullying. If there’s such a situation, you can tell the manager or the teacher. Since you’ve seen them personally, you should know their names. The academy does things impartially. We can’t just listen to your side of the story.”
Chen Lian immediately panicked. She carefully tugged at Mu Feng’s sleeve, then lowered her head and said weakly, “Teacher, please don’t be angry. Brother Mu Feng didn’t mean to talk back to you.”
Mu Feng looked protective and nervous.
Su Xiaolu frowned slightly. She looked at Chen Lian and said coldly, “I’m not angry. I’m just doing business. You said that someone bullied you, so who are they? What did they do? If you don’t say anything today, I will have to think that you are deliberately slandering your fellow disciples, the academy will definitely not tolerate you.”
Chen Lian’s face turned pale. She grabbed Mu Feng’s sleeve anxiously. “Brother
Mu Feng, I’m fine. Don’t make Teacher angry because of me…”
Mu Feng could feel that Chen Lian was afraid. He felt that Su Xiaolu was too strict, causing Chen Lian to be so afraid.
He felt a little bad. Chen Lian had long said that she didn’t want to mention it.
They were all powerful people. How could commoners like them win?
Chen Lian didn’t mean it.
Mu Feng was a little anxious. He was only a 14-year-old boy and was not experienced. Moreover, Su Xiaolu had exerted some pressure on him.
Mu Feng didn’t know what to do. He only felt that things were abysmal. He was afraid that bringing up the past would make Chen Lian even sadder.
“Teacher, I know their names. They’re Qin Yu, Wu Huaijing, and Jiangzhou.” Jiang Wanlin said three names.
After Jiang Wanlin finished speaking, Mu Feng looked at her reproachfully. “Wanwan, why did you say that? You just want to make Lian’er sad, right?”
Jiang Wanlin looked hurt. She said, “I didn’t. Teacher said that the academy won’t protect bullies.”
She had seen that Mu Feng was affected by Chen Lian. She was worried that he would ruin his own future because of this. She was clearly worried about him.
Chen Lian looked flustered and in pain. She said with a sobbing tone, “Stop arguing. Don’t fight because of me. I’m fine…”
With that, Chen Lian ran out. Su Xiaolu flew in front of her and stopped her. Chen Lian looked at Su Xiaolu in panic..
