Chapter 208 Mr. Ying
Ye Ru's words caused Guan Qing and the other two to turn ashen-faced. Their inner energy began to surge and spread outwards.
"This poor scholar is finished today. Here, he has to acquire all the resources himself. The academy has no say in anything. Moreover, he has offended the Nine Songs Academy this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in the academy any longer."
Some onlookers shook their heads and sighed when they saw this, but many more were gloating.
"Hehe, those who don't know themselves won't benefit from looking in the mirror. This is a good lesson for these poor students, so they won't be so clueless about their own abilities in the academy."
Others also made offensive remarks.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to let me through or not?"
Guan Qing's face was gloomy, and then he said in a deep voice.
"What can you do if you don't allow it?"
Ye Ru smiled faintly, sensing the fluctuations of talent within, and the talent within his own inner palace also began to stir.
Many people who saw this scene became curious, wondering why the boy in front of them was so unruly.
Moreover, he was a student from a poor family.
"Alright, let's have a contest to see if your calligraphy is more talented or mine!"
Guan Qi sneered, then his inner energy surged rapidly, eventually transforming into a giant hand that slammed down towards Ye Ru.
"Humph."
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes, not expecting that the other party would not use a literary contest but instead directly resort to a war of words.
And this giant hand reached out to grab Ye Ru amidst the gazes of many students. But what was shocking was that Ye Ru's talent also emanated from his body. A talent even stronger than that stored in a scholar's rank burst forth and spread rapidly in all directions.
This scene shocked many people, and their expressions became extremely solemn. The next moment, the talent formed a heavy hammer and slammed down hard on Guan Qi's giant hand.
boom!
In an instant, the giant hand vanished into nothingness, and Guan Qi's face turned deathly pale. Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"How dare you! A humble family like yours harms a student from a prestigious family! You must have a death wish! My ancestor Guan Zhong helped Qi achieve hegemony; he was a peerless genius, with few rivals in the world. Yet you act recklessly, repeatedly humiliating us. Do you think you can do whatever you want now that my ancestor Guan Zhong has ascended to heaven?"
This scene made Guan Qing's face turn ashen. He then looked up at Ye Ru, frowned, and shouted angrily.
"Guan Zhong, a semi-saint, was the first prime minister, but without Bao Shuya, how could he have had this opportunity? I heard that when Guan Zhong ascended to heaven, he was only a great Confucian scholar. And what did your Guan family do? Some people suggested annexing the powerful Bao family. Is this your way of being a sage?"
Ye Ru mocked, causing Guan Qing to clench his fists tightly, and then shouted:
"Hmph, the powerful Bao family is merely a branch of our Guan Zhong lineage, and will remain so in the future. As our ancestors said, 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will punish him.' Our Guan Zhong lineage is simply following the will of heaven and acting in accordance with human principles. What's wrong with that? Today you have injured someone from our Guan Zhong lineage and angered our dignity. I will certainly not stand idly by. Prepare for our revenge."
These words startled those around, who immediately began to whisper among themselves:
"Guan Qing wants revenge? I didn't hear wrong, did I? A powerful family wants to take revenge on a poor scholar? I think that poor scholar is doomed."
"It's not just over. Unless he can find an even more powerful family to back him up, his path of learning will probably come to an end."
"Alas, fortunes change every thirty years. This man was so arrogant before, and now he's getting his comeuppance. Daring to provoke a powerful family, he really doesn't want to live."
"The influence of the Nine Songs Academy extends throughout the entire Yingtian Academy. I think this young man will find it difficult to move an inch in the future."
Many people looked at Ye Ru, some of them overestimating their own abilities.
"Revenge? Forgiveness is a lifelong practice. Don't you understand the principle of 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you'? What's wrong with your brains? You call yourselves members of the Holy Family? You're a disgrace!"
At that moment, a cursing voice came from behind. Everyone turned around quickly, but when they saw the person, they all shrank back and ran away. Even Guan Qing and the others' expressions changed.
Seeing this strange atmosphere, Ye Ru's face also showed a hint of curiosity.
"Guan Qing, Guan Qi, Guan Shuang, have you three memorized the classics? If you have, go and copy Mencius twenty times. As scholars, you completely lack the understanding of setting a good example for your superiors, yet you still want to take revenge on others? I warn you, if this poor scholar makes any mistakes, I will hold you responsible!"
As soon as the words were spoken, an old man walked over from a distance and then spoke to Guan Qing and the other two with a serious expression.
"Ah, Mr. Ying, what brings you here?"
When Guan Qing saw Mr. Ying, he quickly bowed and said...
When Ye Ru saw this scene, his expression changed. A teacher who could command such respect from the students of the various holy families was definitely not an ordinary teacher.
"Student Ye Ru greets Mr. Ying."
Ye Ru also bowed.
“You three are teachable. Instead of studying the classics properly, you compete and fight with others, spouting arrogant words and even wanting to retaliate. Come, tell me, you three, who do you want to retaliate against?”
Mr. Ying stroked his beard and shouted.
"The students dare not."
Guan Qing lowered his head, looking like he was being reprimanded.
"Hmph, when you get back today, you'll be punished by copying Mencius twenty times. If you don't finish copying it, you're not allowed to come to my class."
Mr. Ying said calmly.
"what!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Qing and the other two immediately fell over. They glared at Ye Ru, and the former helped Guan Qi leave quickly, muttering about Mr. Ying's lessons as they went.
Seeing how quickly Mr. Ying resolved the matter, Ye Ru bowed again:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ying, for helping me out of this predicament. I am deeply grateful."
"Don't mention it. You must be the student who wrote annotations in that study room."
Mr. Ying said.
"Ah, yes."
Ye Ru was taken aback, and then said.
"My name is Ying Fangshu. I am a descendant of Emperor Ying Zheng and a direct descendant of Fusu."
Ying Fangshu pondered for a moment, then spoke.
These words filled Ye Ru with awe. He knew that Fusu was the eldest son of Ying Zheng. Fusu was resolute and brave, benevolent and righteous, and had political foresight. However, he opposed Qin Shi Huang's harsh policies such as burning books and burying scholars alive, and was sent to build the Great Wall.
"I did write a few reflections in the reading room, but they were nothing more than showing off my limited skills in front of you, teacher. They were really not good enough."
Ye Ru scratched his head and said.
"Could I borrow it to take a look?"
But Mr. Ying shook his head and then said solemnly.
