Chapter 83: Chapter 76: Completely Defeating Zhang Xuan_2
“Let us leave? Hmph! I think Mr. Zhang is afraid he will misspeak and be exposed by us, thereby embarrassing himself, right?”
Chen Hao snorted coldly.
Zhang Xuan frowned, “Misspeak? Exposed?”
Chen Hao looked around, “You all might not be aware, but yesterday it was he who ignited the Pinnacle Furnace for Hong Yi. In reality, however, it was the dean who did it. He just happened to be standing there and took credit for it!”
“Now that you mention it, it does seem possible!”
“Exactly, who ever heard of igniting a furnace without being poked in the belly?”
“So we’ve been deceived all along. Such a person does not deserve to be a teacher!”
Hearing these words, dozens of students who had just walked into the room started discussing heatedly.
Not expecting to be misunderstood like this, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, “As you say this, do you have any proof? Without proof, as students, to slander a teacher, you should know better than me the consequences you will face!”
“Proof? That’s easy… Look at the time, you must have been teaching for a while now, right? Just ask them if they have learned anything, won’t that make it clear?”
Chen Hao snorted coldly, looking up at Liu Mingyue not far away with a smile on his face, “Mingyue… Mr. Zhang just gave you a lesson, did you learn anything? Could you explain a bit for us? True or false, we’ll know once you speak!”
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
This Liu Mingyue understood nothing and learned nothing; asking her to explain… it would probably just confirm everything!
Thinking this, he turned to look at Yu Xiaoyu who had just stood up from the cushion.
Better let this one who has fully grasped and completely understood everything speak!
Although Zhang Xuan was low-profile, he couldn’t allow his students to be disgraced.
After all, this Chen Hao clearly came here to cause trouble; not teaching him a lesson now would only invite more people in the future.
Being low-profile and weak are two different things.
Of course, he only knew the other party was a senior student, not knowing he was the young master of the Chen Clan. Otherwise, pulling out the status of an honorary elder might not just result in kneeling, but even a public face-slapping, and probably no one would dare to utter a word…
With this thought, Zhang Xuan’s eyes lifted as he snorted coldly, “You’ve been trying to trouble me these past two days all because of Liu Mingyue, right? Do you like her?”
A young man’s tender feelings, even without using the Library of Heaven’s Path, he could tell it was hardly a secret.
Exposed in front of everyone, Chen Hao’s face turned red, “I just can’t stand seeing a talent like Mingyue being wasted by a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher! Besides, asking her to repeat what you taught in class has nothing to do with whether I like her or not!”
“What do you think?”
Zhang Xuan snorted coldly.
In fact, by forcibly interrupting the class, he could have directly thrown this Chen Hao out and no one would dare say a word, but… doing so not only wouldn’t clarify things, it would also lead to more misunderstandings, an endless trouble. Therefore, it might be better to explain things clearly.
“So what should we do? How about…”
Looking around, Chen Hao’s eyes landed on Yu Xiaoyu, “Then let Miss Yu repeat a few words. As the daughter of the City Lord, I trust Miss Xiaoyu wouldn’t lie or deliberately cover for someone.”
Seeing the other party choose the girl according to his own words, Zhang Xuan immediately relaxed.
It seems this round is safe!
“Me?”
Yu Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat.
During the lesson, she was preoccupied with thinking about the cultivation method her father would teach that night, and hadn’t listened attentively. Added to the complexity of the Heaven’s Path Divine Art, she might not even recall one percent of it…
“Exactly!” Chen Hao nodded.
Seeing Yu Xiaoyu’s face full of hesitance, Zhang Xuan looked over, “I know you’ve fully grasped and understood the lesson just now. Don’t be nervous, just repeat a few sentences!”
“Yes…”
As everyone’s focus converged on her, Yu Xiaoyu lost her composure, her eyes darting around as she stammered, bringing up whatever knowledge points she could recall, one word at a time, “Accumulative Realm is the process of accumulating strength, utilizing the pure Origin qi refined from the Furnace to temper the meridians… the method, the method is to either practice thrice or not at all…”
“???”
Zhang Xuan was stunned, feeling like his head was about to explode.
What’s going on?
Didn’t he just confidently say he had fully understood and grasped everything? Why is it that when you recount, it’s all over the place, not making any sense?
“What are you doing?” he raised an eyebrow.
Knowing she couldn’t continue, Yu Xiaoyu had to lower her head shyly, her right hand twisting her dress corner, “Teacher, I’m sorry, I… I can’t explain…”
“Hahaha, I knew it!”
Unlike Zhang Xuan’s confusion and Yu Xiaoyu’s panic, Chen Hao paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.
He had thought that Yu Xiaoyu would recite some previously learned cultivation methods to save her teacher, but she didn’t say anything at all. It seems this guy really doesn’t have what it takes, hasn’t taught anything, which is why even the City Lord Residence’s young mistress couldn’t save him.
With an air of triumph, Chen Hao looked around, “Gentlemen, you must have all seen it! This Miscellaneous Duties Teacher really doesn’t know how to impart knowledge, otherwise, how could Miss Yu struggle so much, unable to even outline one cultivation technique?”
“Exactly! [Recovery and Energy Storage Technique] is easy to understand, as long as the teacher teaches earnestly, even if only for a while, one could at least explain the gist. Yet the second-most-talented person in Baiyan City couldn’t even produce a complete sentence…”
“Clearly, this Miscellaneous Duties Teacher hasn’t taught much at all!”
“Young Master Chen is impressive, immediately capturing the key issue and exposing him publicly…”
The dozens of students who had followed, already leaning towards Chen Hao, now began discussing loudly, their looks of disdain directed back at Zhang Xuan.
