As soon as Wu Zun raised his hand, the two people who were arguing had to shut up.

Then Wu Zun looked at Yue Ziyu:

"No matter what the reason, fighting is strictly prohibited in Xilu Academy. This is the rule of the academy. Either you apologize to Wang Heng in person, or you pack up and leave."

Wang Heng raised his chin when he heard this. Just as he was about to laugh at Yue Ziyu, Wu Zun turned around and looked at him:

"And you, what is the first article of Chapter 4 of the Academy Rules?"

Wang Heng's expression suddenly changed, his face flushed, and he finally whispered:

"A flying arrow stops at Ouyou, and a rumor stops at a wise man."

Wu Zun raised his voice expressionlessly:

"Remember this, our Xilu Academy is a century-old institution, not a market, teahouse or tavern!"

The students looked at each other, not daring to look up, and nodded in agreement.

Wu Zun nodded and stared at Yue Ziyu again:

"Apologize, or leave?"

Yue Ziyu gritted his teeth and stared at Wang Heng with eyes that seemed to be able to spit fire.

"...sorry."

Wang Heng scratched his ears and said loudly:

"Ah? I can't hear you."

Yue Ziyu's expression suddenly calmed down, he reached out to wipe the blood off his face, and said loudly:

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have violated the academy rules. Even if the person on the other side was a brainless beast, I shouldn't have hit him."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry!!"

Wang Heng's facial muscles twitched, and he turned to look at Wu Zun:

"Master, look, he's still cursing!"

Wu Zun glanced at Yue Ziyu for a while, then turned to look at Wang Heng:

"You, who spread rumors in the academy, should apologize to the victim in person according to the academy's rules."

"Yue Ziyu is Yue Ran's younger brother, so just apologize to Yue Ziyu directly."

Wang Heng was so angry that he was shaking:

"Master, I'm not wrong..."

Wu Zun narrowed his eyes and interrupted him:

"If you don't want to, you can leave the academy."

Wang Heng was speechless for a moment, clenched his hands for a moment, and then reluctantly said:

"I shouldn't have spread rumors in the academy. I'm sorry."

Yue Ziyu snorted and rolled his eyes.

Wu Zun nodded with satisfaction, then looked around sternly:

"What are you all doing here? Did you all do well in this monthly exam? Go study!"

The crowd dispersed in an instant, each running faster than a rabbit.

Wu Zun glanced at Yue Ziyu who was standing there in a daze, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he turned around and walked away without saying a word.

Yue Ziyu lowered his head and raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corners of his eyes. When he turned around, he saw a hand holding a white porcelain bottle and putting it in front of his face.

"...Lu Qinlun?"

The boy with a pair of doe eyes looked away uncomfortably:

"Take it back and rub it on. This potion is very useful."

Yue Ziyu raised his eyes and looked behind the young man, and saw Lu Qinlin standing silently under the tree.

The eldest son of the Lu family, who had always just nodded, looked at him deeply for a few times and suddenly said:

"My brothers and I are going to ask for leave from the academy and go to the capital of Da Chu. Anyway, the monthly exam is over. Do you want to come with us?"

Yue Ziyu looked at Lu Qinlin in astonishment, holding the white porcelain bottle in his hand. He was stunned for a while and suddenly realized that he really wanted to go home.

He nodded and said quickly:

"Can I come with you?"

Lu Qinlin smiled and nodded:

"The Lu family's fleet is big enough, there won't be a shortage of space for you."

Before Yue Ziyu could say the next word, the Lu brothers left.

The bruised-faced young man stood alone in the yard, his fingers tightly gripping the white porcelain bottle.

It had been two years, and this was the first time that a member of the Lu family had taken the initiative to speak to him.

More than two years ago, after Yue Si Ning was taken away by the Shenzun Sect, his mother cried every day, worrying about his future.

He is not the eldest brother and cannot inherit the palace. He is not Yue Ran and has no ability to fight on the battlefield. His best future in this life is to be the second son of the palace.

His mother was unwilling to accept this and always wanted him to have a good future.

The father was annoyed by her crying, and finally he bit the bullet and wrote a letter to the head of the Lu family, asking if he could be recommended to Xilu Academy.

Unexpectedly, the Lu clan leader agreed.

When he left the capital, his mother repeatedly told him to get along well with the Lu family's children in the academy:

"So what if we are not related by blood? As long as Yue Ran is still alive, you and Lu can be considered relatives by marriage. We are all brothers!"

When he first arrived at the academy, he also learned how to get along with the sons of the Lu family.

After more than a month of Lu Qinlin's polite but cold response, Yue Ziyu finally realized that without that blood relationship, the Lu family would never treat him as a brother.

Lu Qinlin is the eldest son of this generation of the Lu family. He is unwilling to pay attention to Yue Ziyu, and naturally the other sons of the Lu family ignore him.

In Xilu Academy, where everyone is vying to get in, he has no friends, no brothers, and no servants.

The book boys and maids that his mother asked him to bring with him were not allowed to enter Xilu Academy, and they are still living in a rented house in Xiling City.

His complaints were sternly rejected by the academy. According to the hundreds of years of rules of Xilu Academy, even princes were not allowed to bring in book boys and servants when studying there. They had to either wash and change their clothes themselves or keep them for a month and then give them to the servants to wash.

When he was fifteen, Yue Ziyu learned to wash his own clothes for the first time, and his fingers were all washed so hard that they were broken.

In the middle of the night, he held his swollen and broken fingers, tears streaming down his face.

This was the second time he cried, except for the time when Yue Ran whipped him.

If he had known that life in the academy was so hard, he would never have come. What's wrong with a century-old academy? Would he starve to death if he didn't study?

The letter I wrote home to complain about my situation soon received a reply.

For the first time in the letter, his father and his mother reached a consensus. They both angrily told him not to return to the capital of Da Chu if he could not study hard in the academy.

He had a poor foundation in his studies, and it was common for him to be scolded by the teacher in class. The ridicule of his classmates and the cold eyes of the Lu family's children almost became his nightmare.

After half a year in the academy, he lost almost 5 kilograms and the baby fat on his face disappeared without a trace.

In the difficult academy life, what gradually became his spiritual support was Yue Ran's repeated victories in the northern border of Da Chu.

What made his classmates look up to him was also Yue Ran’s military achievements.

He did not forget the twenty lashes Yue Ran gave him before he went to war.

He once vowed to return it.

It was not until a snowy mountain training session at the academy that he and a group of classmates nearly froze to death in a valley. Everyone was complaining bitterly, and the teacher said with great regret:

"Do you know how cold the northern border of Great Chu is in winter? Yue Ran, the commander of the Dingbei Army of Great Chu, is a girl. She has led the army to attack in the snowy nights time and time again. If everyone was like you, she would have been defeated long ago!"

The students from Beiliang pouted and said nothing.

The students from Anxi and Southern Wei also had no feelings after hearing this.

But the students of Da Chu were deeply touched.

Yue Ziyu, who was frozen like a dog, tried for the first time to imagine what kind of life Yue Ran was living in the northern border.

He couldn't imagine that he would die just by climbing a snowy slope, let alone wearing cold and heavy armor and swinging a sword to kill the enemy.

.....When Yue Ran returns to Beijing in the future, at worst he won’t quarrel with her anymore.

This morning, when he heard Wang Heng saying everywhere that Yue Ran lost her virginity before marriage and would have been drowned in a pig cage in Southern Wei, he punched her without even thinking.

He didn't really like Yue Ran, but he was just angry!

Anyone who can't do what Yue Ran can do has no right to say that about her.
