Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Where did you go wrong?"

Zheng Qian's question made Wu Xiaohai overjoyed. He was not afraid of Zheng Qian's anger and criticism, but he was afraid that Zheng Qian would not say a word to him and would directly shut him out.

Kneeling upright, Wu Xiaohai spoke in a loud voice: "First mistake: being arrogant and acting as the spokesperson for the martial arts test; second mistake: failing to recognize the students' combat strength and participating in the hunting game; third mistake: failing to distinguish right from wrong outside the East Gate and hindering the students' progress."

Wu Xiaohai was already prepared to say something. His first argument with Zheng Qian was over who would be the spokesperson for the martial arts test. Then he participated in Lu Yan's hunting game. Finally, he went to the Qilin Army to inform Zuo Han to kill Zhu Ke and met Zheng Qian outside the East Gate.

In short, Wu Xiaohai's fight with Zheng Qian was only during the martial arts competition. He did not offend Zheng Qian; he simply chose the wrong side. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come here today to apologize.

Zheng Qian shook his head, very dissatisfied with Wu Xiaohai's answer: "Wu Xiaohai, think carefully, where did you go wrong?"

Wu Xiaohai's heart skipped a beat. Zheng Qian called him Wu Xiaohai instead of Wu Dahai, which was a sign that he was not satisfied with his answer.

As the saying goes, "When you're about to be hit, stand up straight." Wu Xiaohai, having been in officialdom for so many years, naturally knows that when speaking, one should flatter one's superiors. Today, he is flattering Zheng Qian, so Zheng Qian is his superior.

"Xiao Hai is unaware, please enlighten me, student." Wu Xiao Hai's attitude in admitting his mistake was very sincere. He lowered his head and regretted that he hadn't prepared enough. He should have taken notes of what Zheng Qian said, so that Zheng Qian would feel better and forgive him more easily.

I was too hasty today.

Zheng Qian walked outside the courtyard, which was crowded with students from the fourth cohort who had not yet graduated. The sea of ​​heads stretched as far as the eye could see, probably numbering in the tens of thousands.

In the distant pavilions, many teachers were hiding, watching the excitement. Zheng Qian slowly spoke.

"General Wu Xiaohai, as a pillar of the empire, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. Why did you knowingly aid and abet Lu Chu, a remnant of the Demon Radiance Sect? Is your loyalty to the common people or to the shadowy demon lurking in the dark?"

Wu Xiaohai opened his mouth and then closed it again. Zheng Qian's question was beyond his expectations. He thought Zheng Qian would make things difficult for him in various ways, but he didn't expect the question Zheng Qian asked to be so profound. He couldn't think of a way to answer it.

Zheng Qian did not receive a reply from Wu Xiaohai. Facing the many students eager for knowledge, his eyes shone with determination.

"Fellow students, today I wish to discuss with you a matter concerning loyalty, justice, and conscience." Zheng Qian's voice was particularly clear and powerful in the morning breeze.

"General Wu Xiaohai, a third-rank official, should be a role model for us all, yet his actions are heartbreaking. Knowing that Lu Chu was a member of the Demon Radiance Sect, he still aided and abetted the evildoer. Is such behavior the conduct expected of a general?"

"We, who are skilled in both literature and martial arts, should take it as our responsibility to cultivate virtue and educate people. We should not only pursue broad knowledge, but also cultivate our minds and character, and distinguish right from wrong." Zheng Qian's voice gradually became more impassioned.

"In this chaotic world, the demonic forces are stirring, plotting to overthrow the peace of the world. Although we cannot change the overall situation by our own strength, we must not stand idly by, much less become their accomplices!"

He looked around and saw that the students all had thoughtful expressions on their faces, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Remember, a true warrior is not defined by the amount of strength he possesses, but by his ability to uphold justice in critical moments and bravely fight against evil. Although we are in the academy, our hearts must be with the world, and we must take it upon ourselves to uphold justice. Even if the road ahead is difficult, we must forge ahead!"

"Justice and evil do not lie in cultivation techniques, sects, or levels of cultivation, but in the choices of human nature and the principles of conduct. Cultivating demonic arts without committing heinous acts, and helping those in need, is also righteous. Cultivating qigong but committing heinous acts is also demonic. Fellow students, justice is not in appearance, but in the substance of actions. I hope that you will see through appearances to the essence, and that you will not be confused or lost on the path of life, so that you can walk the path of justice."

As Zheng Qian finished speaking, the entire academy seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and the students' eyes shone with an unprecedented light. They understood that they were about to embark on a path full of challenges and unknowns, but it was precisely on such a path that true heroes and legends could be forged.

clap clap clap...

Thunderous applause erupted. Everyone was deeply moved by Zheng Qian's speech. They learned knowledge and practiced cultivation techniques, but no one had ever talked about loyalty, justice, conscience, and evil.

On this continent, the battle between justice and evil has never ceased, and the choices of Wu Xiaohai and Zheng Qian undoubtedly represent the most striking contrast in this contest.

Zheng Qian looked at Wu Xiaohai and said in a deep voice, "We have no grudges against each other, so there is no need to apologize. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Having a clear conscience is the only way. Go and find the path in your heart. I hope you will do righteous things and walk the bright road in the future."

Wu Xiaohai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He finally realized that Zheng Qian's level of thinking was beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person like himself. He was thinking about personal grudges, while Zheng Qian was thinking about the world. The difference in their levels was immediately apparent.

With three resounding thuds, Wu Xiaohai's forehead bled from the impact.

"Thank you, Zheng Qian, for your teachings. I will always remember them."

Wu Xiaohai had finally understood. He would never again be obsessed with a career in government, but would instead use his limited power to do unlimited good for the people and follow the path of justice.

As Wu Xiaohai's aunt and the dean of studies, with the dean absent and Yu Chengdi dead, Wu Fang, as the academy's highest educational leader at this time, should have come out and said a few words of encouragement to everyone. However, she huddled in a corner, her mind churning over and over, but she could not find the words to summarize Zheng Qian's education of his students.

She couldn't find words to summarize the profound depth of Zheng Qian's educational philosophy, for she too was looking up to him in awe. At the same time, she began to ponder the philosophy of life contained within Zheng Qian's words.

Future education must change direction and begin teaching from the perspective of cultivating morality and character, as Zheng Qian advocated. Previous teaching methods simply did not include this aspect.

The four characters "establishing virtue and cultivating people" are simple and clear, yet they contain a profound truth that one can contemplate throughout one's life.

Wu Xiaohai walked away into the sunlight, and the students also left with the knowledge Zheng Qian taught them. The meaning of loyalty, justice, conscience, and evil took root in their hearts and will surely accompany them throughout their lives.

The four princes bowed to Zheng Qian. They had gained a lot from what he had just said. Zheng Qian, who had achieved perfect scores in three subjects, proposed shared education, and wrote "New Century, New Unit," was someone they looked up to for the rest of their lives.

"I will stay by your side until you leave the fifty countries, hoping to learn as much as possible." Dong Hao said frankly that he would not leave Zheng Qian, not for any other reason than to learn Zheng Qian's new ideas.

Li Sheng and the other two agreed with Dong Hao's statement that they would stay by Zheng Qian's side until he left the fifty countries, in order to learn more new ideas and knowledge.

Just then, a busy man arrived; he was none other than Feng Wuhen, who was about to inherit the position of Crown Prince.

"Zheng Qian, I need your help."
