The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 457

Several teachers said that no strangers came to the academy, but only Teacher Chen hesitated and stammered.

It was as if they had seen some complete stranger.

Xu Tian asked him directly, "Master Chen, have you ever seen a stranger come to our academy?"

Master Chen was taken aback. He shook his head, then nodded.

"That, that's..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Xu Tian slammed his hand on the table with a loud "smack".

The teacher was so frightened that his legs went weak and he rolled to the ground.

"You all may leave, Master Chen, you stay."

Although everyone was puzzled, what exactly did Xu Tian want to do by keeping Master Chen behind?

But they all left without saying a word.

Master Chen didn't even dare to look up at Xu Tian.

“Master Chen, since the academy started, I have been treating you all the best, but I don’t know why you want to do this?”

Master Chen believed that he had done it very secretly, and that it was impossible for anyone to know.

He felt that Xu Tian was bluffing him.

He raised his head and said, "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. Are you doubting me? How could I do such a thing?"

Master Chen became serious, as if he really hadn't done it.

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

"Do you really think that everything you've done is watertight?"

Master Chen was taken aback.

He did a truly flawless job!

Xu Tian suddenly thought of another reason: he had treated the teachers in the Zheng Academy well.

They should have no reason to target him.

Unless someone threatens them.

So he got up and slowly walked to the Master.

“Master Chen, tell me, did someone threaten you, which is why you did this?”

Master Chen understood from Xu Tian's words that he was certain that Xu Tian was the one who did it.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's last words, Master Chen finally broke down.

Even at the very last moment, Xu Tian was still wondering what he had done because he was threatened.

Master Chen plopped down on the ground and burst into tears. "My lord, I'm so sorry, so very sorry. If it weren't for them capturing my child, I would never have done this."

He knew the impact this matter would have on the academy, and he also knew that Xu Tian would be directly harmed.

However, he could not abandon his child, even though Xu Tian had been kind to him.

However, Xu Tian expressed his understanding as soon as he finished speaking.

"Don't worry! Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely not hold you accountable, and I will bring your child back to you safe and sound."

Master Chen was deeply moved to tears upon hearing this!

He knelt down on the ground, saying, "My lord, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

He kept admitting his mistakes.

Xu Tian was not prepared to pursue his responsibility any further.

After all, this was done by those evil forces.

He asked Master Chen.

"Who exactly did this?"

Master Chen immediately replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, it is the General Who Guards the Nation."

“General Zhenguo, if I remember correctly, I should not have offended this person.”

Xu Tian said calmly.

He had never even met this so-called General Who Protects the Nation.
