No matter what the reason was for Mu Hanyan to accuse Qiu Ping'an of cheating, Gong Hongru would probably find it hard to believe him just because of his reputation as the most dissolute playboy in the capital.
What worried them most was that among all the masters present, no one had noticed Qiu Ping'an's cheating. The two middle-aged instructors had even fought fiercely over this disciple. How did Mu Hanyan know this? If it was just speculation, this time it would be difficult to resolve peacefully.
If the person sitting on the high platform was not Gong Hongru, but another instructor, even the dean of Longyan College would have to give some face to the Mu family. But when it came to Gong Hongru, not to mention the Mu family, even the royal family would not give face.
"Sir, Mu Hanyan had some disputes with my Pinghao before, and then had a conflict with Ping'an. It is obvious that she is jealous of my Ping'an for passing the assessment, so she spoke nonsense to ruin my Ping'an's reputation. I hope Sir can stand up for my Qiu family." From Gong Hong's tone, it seemed that he had no good impression of Mu Hanyan's reputation as a playboy. The head of the Qiu family was delighted and continued.
"Patriarch Qiu is right. The election at Longyan College is very thorough, and you, sir, are in charge personally. Who would dare to cheat for personal gain? Mu Hanyan is clearly making false accusations." The instructor surnamed Yu also said angrily.
"This ignorant and dissolute young man actually has the nerve to participate in the election of our Longyan College. In my opinion, he should be expelled from the election and never set foot in our Longyan College again in his life." Teacher Tian also said.
The two of them had just been arguing fiercely over Qiu Ping'an, almost coming to blows, but Mu Hanyan accused him of cheating. Wasn't that like saying they were blind? So when the two of them denounced Mu Hanyan, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent.
Seeing that even these two mentors had spoken, everyone looked at Mu Hanyan with eyes full of pity: This Mu Hanyan was indeed the number one playboy in the capital. His arrogance and domineering behavior had become his habit. Even in such an occasion, he did not change his playboy nature and dared to maliciously slander the reputation of bad people.
It's no wonder they would think so. Even the two instructors, and even a strong man like Gong Hongru, didn't notice that Qiu Ping'an was cheating. How could you, Mu Hanyan, a playboy from a noble family, do this? Isn't this a joke?
They also knew about the conflict between Mu Hanyan and Qiu Ping'an, and believed what the head of the Qiu family said to 80%: Mu Hanyan was probably jealous because he saw others passed the assessment and were noticed by two instructors at the same time, and his playboy temper came out, and he slandered him without any regard.
It's a pity that this is the enrollment election of Longyan College. He dares to use those dandy tricks. He should just wait for punishment.
"Expel him from the selection venue and never set foot in Longyan College again in his life. That's it." Gong Hongru nodded and said.
What? Hua Yue and the others were shocked at the same time.
Perhaps in everyone's eyes, Mu Hanyan was the kind of dandy who didn't know the importance of the situation and would do anything on impulse, but they knew that this was not the case. In fact, everything Mu Hanyan did was carefully considered. Her wisdom and strategy often made even her appearance ashamed.
If she dared to accuse Qiu Ping'an of cheating, she must have her reasons!
But they never dreamed that Gong Hongru would not give them a chance to speak and would directly kick her out of the selection venue.
Reputation is harmful! Hua Yue and the others knew that this was all due to Mu Hanyan's reputation as the most dissolute playboy in the capital. A man like Gong Hongru, who was so upright and self-disciplined, couldn't tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in his eyes, so how could he possibly tolerate such a dissolute young man?
However, simply because of a reputation as a playboy, Mu Hanyan was expelled from the selection process and forbidden from ever entering Longyan Academy! Gong Hongru claimed to be fair and impartial, but this was too overbearing and arbitrary!
As they thought this, a hint of anger appeared on the faces of Hua Yue and the others.
Unlike their anger, the head of the Qiu family had a sneer on his face: Humph, you actually dared to speak nonsense at the Longyan College election and openly embarrassed my Qiu family. There is no need to wait for Ping An and others to take action. I will deal with you myself.
Mu family, what can the Mu family do? My Qiu family is one of the three major families in Dongzhou County, and we may not be afraid of your Mu family.
"Master Patriarch, how could Hanyan do such a thing? Fortunately, Master Gong did not vent his anger on Chengxuan, otherwise we would not even have the chance to beg for mercy." In the audience seats of the Mu family, the third elder looked worried, but he was actually very happy in his heart: This Mu Hanyan actually did such a stupid thing, let's see how he ends up.
"Alas, he is so disappointing, so disappointing. He has brought shame to the Mu family." The Supreme Elder also looked heartbroken, but he could not hide the joy in his eyes. This time, he finally found a chance to suppress Mu Beichen. Who made his precious grandson so stupid that he dared to make trouble in front of Gong Hongru.
"Master Patriarch, how about asking Master Gong for mercy and see if he can show some leniency?" The fourth elder said to Mu Beichen anxiously.
"No need. I think Lord Gong will make his own decision. We will just watch." Mu Beichen said calmly.
"Master Patriarch..." Seeing that Mu Beichen was still calm, the fifth elder also tried to persuade him.
"No need to say anything, just watch." Mu Beichen waved his hand and interrupted the fifth elder.
What were they looking at? Were they just going to watch Mu Hanyan being kicked out like this, ruining the Mu family's reputation? The Fifth and Fourth Elders were heartbroken, but seeing Mu Beichen's determined expression, they couldn't persuade him anymore and could only sigh deeply.
"Pretending. Even at this point you are still pretending to be the head of the family. I wonder how long you can keep pretending?" The third elder and the supreme elder snorted coldly at the same time and cursed in their hearts.
Under everyone's gaze, several disciples from Longyan College walked towards Mu Hanyan, and Qiu Zicheng and several other members of the Qiu family were among them.
"Mr. Mu, what a pity! I was planning to wait until you came to Longyan College to have a good competition with you. I didn't expect that you didn't even have the chance to enter the selection arena. It's such a pity." Qiu Ping'an looked at Mu Hanyan and said proudly.
Soon, Qiu Zicheng and others surrounded Mu Hanyan, with their hands on the hilts of their swords. Judging from their posture, as long as Mu Hanyan made the slightest movement, they would immediately take action and force him out.
"What are you doing? I'm talking about him." At this moment, Gong Hongru's voice sounded again. He raised his arm slightly and pointed his finger at Qiu Ping'an.
What! Qiu Zicheng and the others were stunned. The Qiu family head was stunned, as was Qiu Ping'an, who had a smug smile on his face. The Mu family's Supreme Elder and Third Elder were stunned, as were all the instructors at Longyan College. Everyone present was stunned.
