Chu Yuqi's expression immediately changed. How did others know about these things?
The key point is that as soon as the young man finished speaking, he was immediately pulled away by the people around him.
Everyone's gazes were strange; they no longer greeted her warmly as before, but instead looked at her with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.
Chu Yuqi sat calmly for a few seconds, then got up and walked over to those people, lowering her voice to try and explain.
"Actually, there was a reason why I left earlier. You might not know, but Ms. Ruan used to be a hoodlum..."
Several people quickly nodded, interrupting her, "Okay, we understand, you don't need to say anything more."
After hearing just the beginning, no one wanted to listen anymore. This was not only shirking responsibility, but also an attempt to smear others.
This perfectly confirms Li Wenhe's statement that Chu Yuqi likes to spread rumors everywhere.
Chu Yuqi couldn't help but feel irritated. These people clearly didn't believe her, and she felt very frustrated.
“I’m not targeting Ms. Ruan, and I’m not jealous of her! It’s just that she’s unworthy of her position and incompetent to be a teacher. Didn’t you see how rubbish she taught?”
Everyone stared at her in shock.
Even the people around were startled and turned to look in their direction.
Good heavens, is this person insane? Openly criticizing the teacher for being unworthy of their position and for delivering garbage.
The key issue is that those who listen attentively in class don't feel that way; on the contrary, they are looking forward to Mingzhuo's practical class tomorrow, feeling that they will definitely learn a lot.
You call them trash? Where do you get the nerve?
"What makes you say that?" Fang Linxiao slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
He was one of the most diligent trainees and a favorite in this year's competition. Although his talent wasn't as outstanding as Zhuang Xun's, he squeezed into the top tier through hard work.
After class, he talked with Mingzhuo for a long time. No matter how tricky his questions were, Mingzhuo could always pinpoint the crux of the problem, which showed how knowledgeable he was.
In his view, it was very irresponsible of Chu Yuqi to say such things without attending class.
He was already tall and burly, with a somewhat fierce face, and when he frowned like this, he looked menacing and quite frightening.
No one intervened to stop the fight, and no one thought there was anything wrong with Fang Linxiao being aggressive towards Chu Yuqi.
Putting everything else aside, Chu Yuqi deserved to be scolded just for what she said.
When Shen Boyuan walked in and announced that class was about to begin, everyone took their seats.
Chu Yuqi looked at Shen Boyuan approaching, hesitated to speak, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Shen Boyuan didn't say much, he just handed her a tissue.
As soon as he walked in and saw the scene in the hall, he understood that Chu Yuqi was being targeted.
Who else could be the one inciting the students to target Chu Yuqi, besides Ruan Mingzhuo?
During class, Shen Boyuan glanced at the seats in the back row.
This academic exchange conference of the Xuanmen School will not only be attended by students, but also by teachers from various disciplines, who will sit in on each other's sessions for supervision and self-improvement.
Wu Jiao came to class in the evening. He had a broad knowledge of the five arts of divination: mountain, medicine, fate, physiognomy, and fortune-telling, and had integrated them into a comprehensive understanding.
Almost all the teachers came to sit in on the class, but he didn't see Mingzhuo.
During the group discussion, Shen Boyuan went to the restroom.
As he passed the fire escape, he paused for a moment and peeked through the crack in the door at several people sitting in the hallway, watching a live stream on their phones.
He frowned and pushed the door open.
"Junior brother, you're here!" Zhao Junyang hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Perfect timing, come and see, Teacher Ruan is doing a live stream..."
He was glared at by Zhuang Xun before he realized that he had almost given himself away after promising to keep it a secret.
He explained somewhat awkwardly, "My junior brother isn't an outsider; he won't go around saying things like that."
This wasn't because his master had asked him to take care of his junior brother since he was a child; it had become a habit, and he wanted to share any benefits with his junior brother.
Zhuang Xun snorted coldly, "You got off easy. Come and watch with me."
He shifted his position, making room for someone else.
Shen Boyuan didn't move. He looked down at the group, his voice slightly cold, "I'm not interested in your idolizing the teacher. All I know is that it's class time now."
"Back then, the Bai family and several major sects took the lead in establishing a fund and holding the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference in order to break down the barriers between sects, help Xuanmen cultivate talents, and promote the flourishing of diverse talents."
"This is a good deed, not an obligation. If you don't appreciate it, you might as well leave now and not take up funds and spots."
Zhao Junyang realized the misunderstanding, "That's not how it is, Zhuang Xun asked Dean Wu for leave..."
Shen Boyuan: "Don't explain to me, this has nothing to do with me."
"This has nothing to do with you!" Zhuang Xun was furious. He was the only student here, and the other party was clearly targeting him!
"Take it or leave it, if you don't want to watch, then forget it." He moved his butt back to where he was.
Zhao Junyang looked at Shen Boyuan and earnestly advised, "Junior brother, Teacher Ruan's live stream was really amazing. Haven't you always wanted to improve your skills..."
"Watching a live stream can improve your skills?" Shen Boyuan sneered. "And what about someone who only knows how to attract attention online? Does he even deserve to be called a teacher?"
Zhuang Xun, unable to contain himself any longer, yelled, "Say that again, you fucking bastard!"
Shen Boyuan turned and walked out. He didn't bother arguing with the other party; he just felt disappointed.
The long-awaited academic exchange conference on metaphysics was turned into a complete mess by this one person.
——
Mingzhuo finished her live-streaming assignment for the week and was notified to go to the organizer's office the next day at noon.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the subsequent practical training plan.
Spiritual practice is not something you can do behind closed doors; true knowledge comes from practice.
Besides, no matter how much theoretical knowledge you learn, if you don't know how to apply it, you'll only be courting death when facing ghosts and monsters. You might as well go back to being an ordinary person.
The practical training questions were all selected from the bounty task module of the Xuanmen Exchange Network.
This was the first time Mingzhuo had ever heard of bounty missions; it was quite an eye-opener for him, and he watched with great interest.
The teacher next to her thought she was nervous and said with a smile, "Although many of these tasks are leftover problems, not all of them are dangerous. We can take on any task below level A."
Mingzhuo thought for a moment, "Can I accept missions of A rank or higher? For example, SSS rank?"
The teacher was taken aback. "Teacher Ruan, you're not joking. People die even on A-level missions, let alone SSS-level ones. Why are you asking this?"
Mingzhuo answered sincerely, "Because I have a lot of money."
"..."
The teacher chuckled, "Teacher Ruan, you're joking. You need to be alive to earn money. Fortunately, we've never had an SSS-level mission, and we don't have the authority to accept missions above A-level."
He didn't know why he added that last sentence; he had a feeling that if he didn't explain it clearly, he would get into big trouble.
Mingzhuo gave an "oh," a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to earn some extra money, but since that was the case, she decided to give up.
The assessment questions were soon revealed, with most being B or C level, two being A level, and unusually, one being S level.
