Chapter 272: There is almost sand in my eyes

Upon hearing this, everyone who did not join in the commotion stepped back. He was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and recite the "Discipline for Younger Brothers" five hundred times. This was the heaviest punishment they had ever seen.

The students who raised the question were also shocked, but they just didn't understand why Master Song was like that.

What on earth could Ye Qianning have done to make Master Song so scared?

"Master Song, we are just raising questions in our minds. If we didn't cheat, why should we be afraid of what others say?"

"Yes, Master, your punishment is unfair."

"Master Song asked us to copy the Disciple Rules, and he just came running over..."

"Shut up." Master Song was so angry that blood was about to rush out of his head. "It is a misfortune for the academy to accept students as superficial as you. If you have any doubts, come and compete now. Everyone, participate. If you lose, get out."

The student kept his mouth shut, but he was still dissatisfied in his heart.

"Come on, if anyone has doubts, stand up. I will be a witness and we will compete on the spot." Master Song rolled up his sleeves, as if he would slap them to death if they dared to contradict him again.

None of the students dared to step forward.

"Hmph, you don't even dare to stand up, yet you still question others? You tasteless trash, why don't you get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself." Master Song was shocked and cursed.

Master Zhang was stunned. What was going on?

Did Old Song change his personality after his retreat?

As soon as he came out, Disciple Rules committed a series of... weird things.

Not only was he confused, Sang Zhi, Qian Zhuye and even Sang Qi were all confused.

"Yes, Master." The student nodded silently and was about to leave.

"Wait." Ye Qianning said lazily.

The students stood still.

Master Song's heart trembled, and he turned around and approached with a playful smile: "Miss Xiang, don't bother with these blind idiots."

"Master Song, I don't mind. If you only suspect me, I can just laugh it off, but I can't suspect Master Zhang."

Although Teacher Zhang punished her, he always secretly watched her in the dark.

No matter how late it was, he would wait until she came back before going back to rest.

She absolutely would not allow her good intentions to be slandered like this.

Master Zhang almost burst into tears. He didn't expect that he held such a high position in this girl's heart.

Oh, it’s so annoying, there’s almost sand in my eyes.

Master Song immediately looked at Master Zhang, his eyes revealing a request for help.

Master Zhang turned a blind eye and said, "The Crown Prince wants to expel me from the academy. After teaching for over a decade, I never thought I'd be accused of falsifying grades. It's truly disheartening."

"Master, don't worry. I will allow your reputation to be damaged while the students are here."

Master Zhang was even more moved and secretly vowed that he would never punish her by making her copy the "Rules for Disciples" again.

"Your Highness, now that the witnesses are here, let's get started. Let Master Song come up with the questions." Ye Qianning said with a smile.

Sang Qi was in a dilemma. He was not blind, and Master Song's attitude clearly did not win him over, so he tried his best to stop him.

Master Song saw that Ye Qianning refused to give in at all, and his old face looked uglier than crying. He could only look at Sang Qi and say, "Your Highness... Listen to me, this competition cannot take place."

Even if he loses some face, if he compares himself to others, if the rumor gets out, he may lose his position as the crown prince.

Sang Qi thought for a moment before nodding. His tone was unwavering as he looked at Ye Qianning and said, "Since the Master forbids the competition, then this Crown Prince, considering your young age, will drop the bet."

The fat guy is only six years old...

He really didn't believe how capable she was.

Master Song: “…”
