After saying that, Yuan Shao turned and walked away without saying anything more.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu, enduring the pain, stammered, "No...no matter what, thank you...thank you all for today!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao paused, then shook his head slightly. He neither spoke nor turned back, but continued walking out.

Watching Yuan Shao's retreating figure, Yuan Shu felt a mix of emotions, and in the end, he could only let out a sigh.

Then Yuan Shu turned to Ji Ling and said haltingly:

"You should come back to the Yuan residence with me... I... I've already spoken to Mother, and she... won't blame you anymore!"

Ji Ling shook his head: "No, young master... I'll just take you home!"

"Why....?"

Yuan Shu looked at Ji Ling with considerable confusion.

"Young master... I have already enlisted in the army, and I will be reporting to the Northern Army in a few days!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded: "Hmm, that's fine too!"

"Haha~, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, if you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistakes! Otherwise, none of you will leave here today!"

Just as Yuan Shu was talking to Ji Ling, an extremely arrogant voice came over.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but look up and saw that Cao Cao and his entourage, who had just walked out of the teahouse, were being blocked outside by more than thirty students.

One of the students who had previously fled was the one who was clamoring for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to kneel down and admit their mistakes.

Originally, this place was located on East Street, and apart from brothels, the whole street was full of newly established chess clubs, music rooms, poetry clubs and other places.

Therefore, after those students ran out of the teahouse, they quickly gathered more than thirty close scholars and students and returned here, preparing to take revenge on Cao Cao and others.

In addition to this person, several other people were also leading groups of students toward this place.
