The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Upon hearing Dean Feng's words, the eldest princess revealed a rare girlish demeanor: "I understand, I understand. Just like before, pretend you don't know me."

After the princess finished speaking, she tugged at Li Linfeng's sleeve and whispered, "It's been so many years, and Senior Brother still loves to lecture people. How annoying!"

Li Linfeng smiled and shook his head: "You should be content. Of all you fellow disciples, Senior Brother Feng dotes on you the most. He just got back and heard that you and I found our child and even had a grandson. He sent an invitation to our residence yesterday, but I never expected to encounter this today. What bad luck!"

Dean Feng broke open the white-shelled, green-fleshed nut, popped one into his mouth, chewed it, and his eyes lit up. He looked at the princess and whispered, "What's this called? I've never eaten such a delicious nut in all these years."

The princess grabbed a few more pecans and stuffed them into Dean Feng's hand: "The one in your hand is called a pistachio, and this one is called a pecan. They're delicious. They were brought back from overseas by my granddaughter's teacher."

"Senior brother, try some. Do you like it? If you do, I'll have her make some for you and send it over when she gets back! Enjoy!"

After hearing what the princess said, Dean Feng stopped worrying. The princess had called him "senior brother" now. He quickly peeled open the pecan shell, popped the brown kernel into his mouth, and then, feeling the delicious aroma in his mouth, nodded hurriedly: "I like it, I like it so much!"

Dean Feng's words were met with a chorus of voices from everyone in the hall. They all turned to him.

Dean Feng quickly covered the plate of nuts with his sleeve, then casually picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip: "Um, I was referring to the pre-Qingming Longjing tea that Feng Yi prepared. I love it so much! I haven't had it in years. I was momentarily distracted and apologized. Please don't mind, everyone. Duke Huguo, please continue..."

Xiao Yi found it strange when he saw Dean Feng's appearance. Then he noticed a few nut shells on the side of the table. They were clearly the shells of pistachios that Yun'er had given them!

Xiao Yi choked on his words: He was cursing so righteously, but it turned out that everyone was just watching the show!

Upon seeing Xiao Yi's actions, Li Linfeng exclaimed inwardly, "This is bad! Is Senior Brother going to shift his focus?"

Li Linfeng then coughed lightly: "Senior brother is mighty. Senior brother has worked hard. I know that I am clumsy with words and can't argue back when I am bullied. So I can only ask you to help me. You must be thirsty right now."

"Junior Nephew Xiao Qi, why don't you help your father to a seat and have some tea to soothe his throat? If your senior brother hasn't finished speaking yet, you can continue after you finish your tea!"

After hearing his martial uncle's words, Xiao Qi stepped forward and helped Xiao Yi sit down next to Li Linfeng!

The crowd below looked at the four people above. Beside the Eldest Princess sat Dean Feng, and beside Li Linfeng sat Xiao Yi. It all seemed strange; the chief bodyguard usually only had two seats on either side. When did this council hall suddenly have four seats?

The academy's teacher looked at the four people above, finding them all very strange. Then he glanced at the Duke of Dingguo and his son, who were standing in the hall, along with the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Revenue, and the three trembling figures hiding behind them.

Master Liu of the Discipline Hall whispered to Master Gao beside him, "The way this scene looks to me is like a joint trial by three courts, condemning the Duke of Dingguo and his son!"

Master Gao nodded: "It looks like it to me too. Did you see the brocade box that the maid behind the princess was holding?"

Master Liu nodded: "I saw that maid holding that brocade box and standing beside the Princess. I think that maid knows martial arts. Could there be something valuable inside that brocade box?"

Master Gao spoke in a low voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the brocade box that the maid is holding contains the golden whip bestowed by our ancestor. It can be used to strike down tyrannical rulers and treacherous officials, and it has the power to execute first and report later. I think this Duke of Dingguo is in deep trouble today."

How dare they let their own grandson bully the grandson of the eldest princess? Isn't that like provoking the devil? Even if his grandson doesn't die today, he'll probably be in deep trouble!

Upon hearing Master Gao's words, Master Liu exclaimed in a low voice, "What? Her Highness the Princess actually possesses a golden whip bestowed by the late Emperor? If the Princess were to become enraged today and kill the Duke of Dingguo's grandson, wouldn't it all have been for nothing?"

Master Gao shook his head: "Look at the Princess's expression, she probably won't make a move today. Her in-laws are really something. Look at how the Duke of Protectorate gave the Duke of Dingguo a thorough dressing-down. Three generations of the family are now angry but dare not speak out!"

Master Liu nodded: "However, what the Duke of Protectorate said is true. The Xiao family has been defending the border for three generations. Even without relying on their ancestors' merits, each of them has real achievements. And look at what the Duke of Dingguo has? He only has a daughter who is a concubine!"

Master Gao tugged at Master Liu's sleeve: "Keep your voice down, don't let that father and son hear you. They can't do anything to you with the Duke of Protectorate and Dean Feng, so for a teacher like me, it's no different than crushing an ant. Be careful what you say, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself."

Master Liu looked at Master Gao gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Gao. However, Brother Gao, today's events are clear. It was Liu Zihao and the other two who threatened their classmate first and then beat him. The circumstances were so egregious that, according to the rules of the Discipline Hall, they should be given twenty strokes of the cane and expelled from the academy!"

"Look at these people in and out of the hall, we can't afford to offend any of them. If they question you or me later, what kind of punishment should we receive? How should we respond?"

Master Gao pulled a scroll from his sleeve: "Don't worry, I have already brought the rules of the Discipline Hall with me. If the Dean asks about us later, we don't need to say anything. We just need to answer that the Dean should handle it according to the rules."

Then the school rules were displayed to everyone, clearly stating: "Article Thirty-Six: Unjustifiably bullying or assaulting a classmate will result in twenty strokes of the cane; those with serious offenses will be expelled from the academy!"

Master Liu looked at Master Gao with eyes full of admiration: "Brother Gao, it has to be you! This move is truly brilliant, I admire you."

Master Gao patted Master Liu on the shoulder discreetly: "I just entered the academy a few years earlier than you, spent a few years in this discipline hall, and suffered a few losses!"

Xiao Yi was indeed a bit thirsty from all the cursing, so he sat down and drank a couple of sips of tea. When he looked up, he saw that Princess Li Linfeng, Dean Feng, and the other two were all looking at him.

Xiao Yi asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Li Linfeng spoke up: "Senior brother, are you done cursing? If not, please continue!"

Xiao Yi nodded, turned to look at Xiao Qi, and suddenly asked, "Boss, where was I when I was cursing?"
