Peerless Young Master

"I don't accept it"

Li Xuan looked at Instructor Kong. He knew that he had already made up his mind to break off relations with the academy by causing such a scene at the academy gate. A few useless students were not worth such a price for him to pay.

What he wants is the attitude of the academy.

Should I stand on the side of justice and punish these students, or should I protect my students?

"Why are you not convinced?" Teacher Kong said expressionlessly.

“Because I don’t accept it, I don’t accept it.”

"Do you know that in the past hundred years, no one has dared to be so presumptuous in the academy? If I beat you and your wife to death today, I will stand on the side of the academy."

Li Xuan's eyes darkened, and after a moment's thought, he took a few steps forward, only two steps away from Instructor Kong, and said calmly:

“According to Dahua law, maliciously spreading rumors and damaging a woman’s reputation will result in dozens of lashes and three years in prison;

This is the territory of the Dahua Dynasty. Even if the academy is powerful, do you think it can override the laws of Dahua?"

If you want that academy to threaten me, then I will use the Dahua Law to fight back;

Not to mention the history of nearly a hundred years, even if it is hundreds of years, it still submits to the Dahua Law.

After all, Confucianism is the only school of thought that is respected in this era. If even they do not abide by the Dahua Law, then they are refuting the teachings of the saints and destroying their own foundation.

Teacher Kong frowned slightly. He naturally didn't dare to have such thoughts. If it got out, wouldn't it bring trouble to the academy?

"As you said, they may have slipped up and said something they shouldn't have said, but didn't you also hit them? Aren't both parties at fault?

According to Dahua law, assaulting students will result in severe consequences."

"My wife is so weak, how can she beat these people?"

“The students in the academy have clear minds and temperaments, so how can they do things like speaking ill of others behind their backs?” Teacher Kong said calmly.

Li Xuan frowned, the other party had seized the loophole.

He could use the fact that the demon spirit was a woman to dismiss the fact that these students were beaten;

Teacher Kong could naturally use the students' character to refute the fact that they were speaking ill of the demon spirits;

After all, the students who are able to enter the academy are all outstanding in their field, and there is definitely no problem with their character.

There is no camera, so each person has his own reasons.

This is aimed at a draw.

"I thought the academy could distinguish right from wrong, but it turned out to be a den of snakes and rats," Li Xuan snorted coldly.

“The academy is fair and impartial, and never shows partiality. If you can provide evidence, I will immediately expel them from the academy and never recruit them again.

But if this is not the case, the academy will also be their greatest support. The students of the academy are upright and will not tolerate anyone slandering them." Teacher Kong's voice was soft, but it carried a lot of weight.

"Master Kong, we really weren't lying. This woman was extremely cruel and attacked us right away."

"Yes, we explained, but she didn't listen at all and kept beating us." Some students sought justice and tears streamed down their faces. They felt so wronged.

Instructor Kong frowned slightly and looked at the demon spirit. He saw that the latter seemed a little guilty, looking around, and then glared at him fiercely. With his intelligence, how could he not know the ins and outs of this?

However, in this kind of thing, without any witnesses, he couldn't say anything.

After all, the students in the academy were at fault first.

“You all know what happened between you and them, and I am not interested in this matter.

But the academy's reputation has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and you cannot slander it.

Considering your youth and ignorance, I will punish you by making you kneel here for three days, and then I will let you go." Instructor Kong made the final decision.

Under no circumstances can the academy be offended in any way.

"What a great prestige! In the end, you're just relying on the academy's power to bully lowly people like us, and you're still talking so high-soundingly. It's really ridiculous.

I, Li Xuan, have knelt all my life to heaven, earth, and my parents. If I want to kneel down again, there is no way."

"That's right. You want to kill us, scratch us, and make us kneel down. You're dreaming." The demon also came over. It's just a fight. Why would I be afraid of you?

"You don't accept it?" Teacher Kong asked back.

"It's clear that they started this, and we are just victims. Why should we kneel down when the main culprit is innocent? What kind of logic is this?"

"I can make them kneel down too."

"Teacher Kong..."

A student was about to speak when he received a warning look and immediately became dispirited.

Kneeling down is not a big deal, but kneeling down with such a lowly person is like a slap in the face. How can you hold your head up in the academy in the future?

Li Xuan was choked for a moment. He didn't care whether they knelt or not, but he didn't want to kneel.

"I still don't accept it"

"What do you want?"

"I have a lot of anger in my heart, and I want to duel with these people. If they lose, they have to apologize to us, and the academy will not pursue this matter.

If we lose, as you wish, we will kneel here for three days."

Teacher Kong frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand Li Xuan's thoughts. This is an academy, and those who can come here to study are all talented. Daring to challenge these people is either ignorance or arrogance.

"Master Kong, we agree."

"This thief is humiliating the academy like this. We can't stand it anymore. Let's teach him a lesson and let him know that the academy cannot be humiliated."

"That's right, let them kneel here and atone for their stupidity."

These people stared with their eyes wide open, rubbing their hands together, wanting to vent their anger and grievances through this duel.

They wanted to trample Li Xuan under their feet, to gain pride in themselves, and to let him know what the consequences would be if he went against them.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed. You are just people seeking fame and reputation. You are bullying others by relying on the academy. Without the academy, you are nothing. The mud on the roadside is more useful than you.

"You can only paste paper on the wall, what use are you? You can't lift anything with your hands or carry anything on your shoulders, but you can only flirt with useless things like saying things that are worthless. You are just a good-for-nothing scholar."

"Ah, I'm so angry, I'm so angry"

"I want to fight you in a literary duel, regardless of life or death"

When have these people ever suffered such injustice? They usually take pride in reciting poems and composing couplets, but now they are publicly described as being worse than mud. This is simply a slap in their faces.

Suddenly, someone was so angry that his face turned red, his hair stood on end, his whole body trembled, and he pointed his finger at Li Xuan, as if he had suffered a great shock.

"Come on, whoever is a coward is a coward!" Li Xuan roared angrily.

The demon spirit frowned, quietly pulled Li Xuan's sleeve, and muttered: "Don't be so excited, they are students, we are no match for them, find an excuse to leave here first."

boom!

There was an uproar among the crowd, but more of them were disdain and contempt.

A cook actually dared to challenge talented people in an academy full of talented people. He is simply crazy. It is not an exaggeration to call him a madman.

"This guy is so arrogant. Even though they are not the top ten talents, they are not someone a cook can challenge," someone sneered.

No one thought Li Xuan would win.

For a cook, who has had the chance to study for a few years and knows a few words, it is already very good. How can he compare with them who have studied for more than ten years?

"Give him a good lesson and let him know who he is. He dares to come to the academy and act so arrogantly."

"That's right, kneeling in the academy is too lenient for them. Such lunatics should be beaten to death to serve as a warning to others."

"quiet"

Teacher Kong looked at Li Xuan and said uncertainly: "Are you sure you want to compete with them in literature? Although they are ordinary, they are still top-notch talents if placed in any other place."

"Although I am a cook, I also read a few books in my early years. What does it matter if I am just a talented person?"

"Arrogant, really arrogant"

At this time, someone couldn't stand it anymore and walked out directly: "What a shameless person, he is invincible in the world, and all rats, big and small, are called old."

"Do you know what this means?"

"Ha ha"

Everyone burst into laughter. A cook probably couldn't even understand the first part of the couplet, so how could he come up with a matching couplet?

"You called me a rat," the demon whispered.

"There are male and female turtles, and their surname is Wu."

You call me a rat, and I call you a turtle.

Back and forth, no one wins.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven" This person didn't believe in evil and came up with another couplet.

Li Xuan opened his mouth and said: "filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, and integrity."

"Which of these hybrids, rice, millet, beans, wheat, sorghum, and millet, is the master?"

"There are so many classics and commentaries on the Book of Songs, Book of Changes, Rites, and Spring and Autumn Annals, why bother asking Laozi?"

“This chef is not simple”

Everyone watched the two of them fighting back and forth, and couldn't help but look up to Li Xuan.

I thought he was just a layman, but I didn't expect he was quite knowledgeable.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Give him some serious power, so he doesn't jump around everywhere!"

Obviously, someone couldn't stand it anymore.

Although this matter has nothing to do with them, if these students lose, it means that the academy has lost.

As students of the academy, they also felt ashamed.

"Aren't you very arrogant? You rely on your status as a so-called academy student to look down on everyone, this and that;

Why, this is the talent that you are proud of, this is the knowledge that the academy taught you.

You guys disappoint me so much. You have bad character and poor knowledge. Who will recognize you after you leave the academy?" Li Xuan thought these students would have some abilities, but he didn't expect them to be such simple couplets.

What a disappointment.

"Don't go too far!" someone roared.

"I saw you were a cook just now, so I came up with the couplet. I didn't expect you to have some skills. Do you really think you can look down on the academy just like that?" At this time, another person came out.

"Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, from the Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, the river flow is eternal, and the river tower is eternal"

"This is Master Gu's couplet. He was inspired when he was looking at the river from Wangjiang Tower. It took two years for someone to come up with the second line."

"This Li Xuan has some skills, but it's simply impossible to match him up."

Everyone gasped, they didn't expect that even such a couplet that could be passed down to future generations would be brought out. Many people frowned slightly, it was obvious that this was a bit bullying.

But soon, they put away the remaining guilt in their hearts. After all, any means are acceptable to deal with the madman.

"That's all for Li Xuan. This is the first couplet written by Master Gu. Both the artistic conception and the textual arrangement are top-notch. It hung in Yunxiao Tower for two full years before someone came up with the second couplet. It's not absolute.

Even so, he was proud of the academy, and that person was accepted as the last disciple by Master Gu." Liu Bai slowly told the story behind this couplet.

"I didn't expect him to be so capable, but let's see what he does this time. He's a lowly person, so he should just kneel down on the ground. He's causing so much trouble and bringing trouble to the academy."

The corners of Su Wan's mouth curled up, as if she had already seen Li Xuan and others kneeling on the ground in a while. She glanced at Su Wan's worried and flustered look, and her heart became even happier.

Teacher Kong also frowned slightly. Although it was a bit embarrassing to use the couplet proposed by Master Gu, he still agreed in the face of the lunatic who humiliated the academy.

"Although you have some talent, it is impossible for you to match this couplet."

Mo Ling's lively eyes flickered violently. Although she could read and had read the Four Books and Five Classics, she did not study them in depth. She spent most of her time wandering around the world, seeking pleasure and watching handsome men dance.
