So Jiang Changtian's character is really that despicable?

How did someone like that even get into the academy?

The people around Jiang Changtian looked at him with whispers and disdain.

"Master, Jiang Changtian is innocent. Saying this will ruin him!"

Feng Hao's eyes turned red. It was clear that Guo Zhong had deliberately framed him. If the teacher said such a thing, how could Brother Changtian maintain his position in the academy in the future?

He already had it tough enough, enduring humiliation and hardship to pursue his studies, even tolerating his wife and her lover living under the same roof.

Now that the teacher has pointed his finger at him and scolded him for his poor character, how can he possibly stay in the academy?

Jiang Changtian stood there, his posture still upright even with the help of a cane, his voice neither too loud nor too soft.

"A teacher who cannot distinguish right from wrong and only listens to one side is not qualified to teach and educate people!"

"Jiang Changtian! Who gave you the audacity to insult the Master? Do you even have any respect for teachers?"

Hou Er jumped out from the crowd and pointed at Jiang Changtian.

Jiang Changtian didn't even glance at Hou Er, only looking at Master Li.

“Master Li, just watch and see if I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, whether I can go far in my career, and whether I am the person of low character you speak of!”

"If that's not the case, then please, Master, retract your words today!"

Jiang Changtian's gaze was open and honest, making one wonder if such a tall and upright young man could really be a person of bad character.

Master Li frowned under Jiang Changtian's gaze and snorted coldly, "Look all you want. You can fool people for a while, but do you think you can fool them forever? If you can really go far, I will personally apologize to you for what I said today!"

"Now you should apologize to my student!"

"what?"

"What are you apologizing for?"

Guo Hongfang, a bystander who was closest to the scene, asked a question out of confusion.

Master Li looked at Jiang Changtian with disgust. "You deliberately humiliated my student in the cafeteria and maliciously moved his chair, causing him to fall. Aren't these your doing?"

"Apologize, and we'll let this matter drop. But from now on, don't mention you were ever my student. You'd better watch yourself!"

Guo Hongfang's mouth dropped open in astonishment, looking like a toad's mouth.

"My God, didn't he deliberately knock Jiang Changtian's chopsticks away? Jiang Changtian just asked him to pick them up. Did he say anything humiliating? Am I deaf sitting next to him? Or are all those students blind?"

"Didn't he fall down because he missed a seat? How can you blame someone else for that? Anyone who isn't blind saw it. Why did you have to ask the teacher to come and intervene? Are you still immature?"

Guo Hongfang's tone was strange, and a burst of laughter erupted around him.

Master Li looked at Hou Er.

Hou Er blushed, "Master, it's just..."

"What are you all doing here making a scene after school?!"

Shi Fenggang had just returned from outside and was about to go out to see his master when he saw the students gathered at the door of the lecture hall.

"When in charge of affairs."

Despite their young age, these two supervisors are fully authorized to represent Dean Bai when they are out in the field.

Master Li recounted what had just happened.

Shi Feng looked at Jiang Changtian with a cold face, "The academy will investigate this matter thoroughly. If he is truly a person of depraved character, he does not deserve to remain in the academy!"

This brat actually made his grandmaster his servant! Humph! I can't stand him!

Hou Er smugly replied, "Heh, I advise some people to drop out of school as soon as possible, otherwise they'll become rats crossing the street, and everyone will want to beat them up... Ah!"

He was about to leave after saying that when he suddenly twisted his ankle and fell flat on his face.

"Brother, you're not going to say Jiang Changtian made you fall again, are you?"

Guo Hongfang sighed, "Don't let your eyes be on the top of your head, look down and see where you're going more often!"

The crowd burst into laughter again; Guo Hongfang's speech was hilarious.

Hou Er saw that there was a small stone on the ground that had appeared out of nowhere, and he kicked it away in anger, covered his face, and ran away.

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Changtian, who had embarrassed him, a venomous look.

"Thank you for speaking up for me."

Jiang Changtian wiped his fingertips, then turned to thank Guo Hongfang.

"You're welcome, but there are conditions to my help."

"Well... well... could you bring an extra portion when you pack your lunch tomorrow? I still want to eat that braised food." Guo Hongfang said, scratching his head sheepishly.

He originally came to get closer to Jiang Changtian, because he thought the man was nice.

The key is that the braised food is delicious.

His family's cook also makes braised dishes, but the flavor is rather bland, so he doesn't really like them.

Unlike the one Jiang Changtian brought, this one has such an overpowering aroma; one bite is so satisfying.

Jiang Changtian was taken aback by his condition.

"I don't know if there will be any left tomorrow, but there should be some at home today. If Brother Guo doesn't mind..."

Guo Hongfang grinned, "No problem at all, I'll come visit you right away, I'll help you carry the food box."

Jiang Changtian: I haven't finished speaking yet. I said I'd bring you some later. When did I invite you to my house?

Seeing Guo Hongfang's high spirits, Jiang Changtian was too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.

Then he turned to look at Feng Hao, who was staring at him expectantly.

Feng Hao turned his head away awkwardly and said, "I have something to do today, I'm not going."

Jiang Changtian: ...

He just wanted to say thank you.

Jiang Changtian said, "Then I'll head back now. Thank you for today."

Feng Hao turned and walked away, but after taking two steps, he turned back to look at Jiang Changtian with longing eyes.

If Brother Changtian calls him again, he will go.

Jiang Changtian didn't even turn his head.

Feeling heartbroken, Feng Hao left, looking back repeatedly.

Guo Hongfang, carrying the food box, said in a low voice, "Is he jealous because he saw me go to your house with you?"

Jiang Changtian: ...

Brother, is this how you use the word "jealous"?

Guo Hongfang glanced back again and tugged at Jiang Changtian's sleeve. "Look, look, Manager Shi is following us. What does he want? I think he's got some ill intentions towards you. Is he deliberately trying to make things difficult for you?"

Jiang Changtian glanced back and saw that Shi Feng was indeed following behind.

"No, let's go."

Shi Feng, who was standing not far away, held a pebble in his hand, wondering what was going on.

The academy is regularly cleaned, so where did these pebbles come from?

Hou Er's fall was clearly strange; he had suspected it was Jiang Changtian.

But how could Jiang Changtian, a weak and uneducated scholar from the countryside, possibly know martial arts?

Strange, could it really be an accident?

Shi Feng followed the two out of the academy and saw his grandmaster wearing a big straw hat coming to greet Jiang Changtian from afar.

He even took the food box and carried it, looking every bit like a servant.

I was so angry when I saw it!

No, he had to follow them and see how Jiang Changtian and that wicked woman were deceiving their grandmaster!

……

……

Jiang Changtian felt something was different the moment he entered the courtyard today.

There were many new flowers and plants in the yard, and a grape trellis that had been brought in from somewhere else. There was also a swing under the grape trellis, which looked very warm and unique.

Food was laid out under the osmanthus tree, emitting a fragrant aroma.

A woman in green sat on a swing, smiling radiantly at him.

"My husband, you're back."

Jiang Changtian felt a surge of heat in his heart.
