Over the years, Gu Xiaoran has repeatedly caused trouble at the academy.
Today, I have once again caused Elder Mu to lose face in front of his students.
Given Old Master Mu's previous temper, he would have fired that person long ago.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoyu is Qiu Yan's child.
Therefore he cannot.
Unable to contain his anger, he had no choice but to resign.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away from Qiu Yan step by step.
At this moment, Qiu Xu, Qiu Ling'er, and the others all looked at Gu Xiaoran with displeasure.
Gu Xiaoran felt embarrassed by the stares and lowered her head, trying to ignore the displeased looks.
He knew he had gone a bit too far this time.
Qiu Ling'er glared at Gu Xiaoran and strode after Old Master Mu.
Qiu Xu followed closely behind, and the two of them blocked Elder Mu's path.
Qiu Ling'er continued to try to persuade him to stay:
"Sir, are you no longer going to teach Ling'er?"
“Isn’t Ling’er already a teacher? Besides, Ling’er’s knowledge is enough to make her the top scholar in the imperial examination.” Old Master Mu shook his head and continued walking.
Qiu Yan glared at Gu Xiaoran.
Gu Xiaoran hurriedly ran to Elder Mu, bowed deeply, and greeted him respectfully.
"Sir, I will copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times. Please forgive me this once."
Usually, the most severe punishment the teacher would give him was to copy the book a hundred times.
Old Mu also shook his head.
"Gu Xiaoyu, tell me yourself, how many times have you toyed with me over the years?"
"I, a teacher of such stature, have been manipulated by you time and time again. Do you think you are invincible by doing this?"
"See? You, Gu Xiaoyu, are fearless and arrogant. Even the teacher can't do anything to you."
"No, sir, I just..." Gu Xiaoran was afraid of being severely punished by her mother for this.
"Please don't go. I'll leave. I won't study at Lingxin Academy anymore. Please continue teaching."
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Qiu Yan, only to be met with a cold glare from her, and he weakly looked away.
"No, I'm leaving!" Old Mu walked away slowly.
Qiu Yan glared at Gu Xiaoran again with an unfriendly expression, and kicked him in the buttocks.
"You have to deal with the mess you made!"
Gu Xiaoran staggered a few steps, stopped Old Mu again, and knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, I really know I was wrong."
He kowtowed earnestly, then wrapped his arms around Old Master Mu's legs, acting like a rogue.
“Teacher, the academy cannot do without you. I will never dare to do it again. Please punish me.”
Qiu Yan: "Grandpa Mu, please forgive Yu'er this one last time. If he does it again, I'll let him go."
"No need."
Old Mu waved his hand, his expression somber, and finally left.
Qiu Yan knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this moment, so she thought she would try to persuade him after Old Master Mu calmed down.
Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er quickly caught up and supported Old Master Mu on either side as they walked forward.
Qiu Ling'er: "Sir, we'll see you off."
Qiu Yan turned around and glared angrily at Gu Xiaoran.
"Give me your hand!"
The gentleman was so angry that he left, how could Qiu Yan not be furious?
Gu Xiaoran weakly reached out her hand, "Mother, please... have mercy..."
A sharp crack of the ruler struck, leaving Gu Xiaoran's palm bright red.
Another snap.
Gu Xiaoran gritted her teeth,
Snap snap snap...
At this moment, Zhou Zifang, Gao Chong, Ding Tian, and Zhao Ruolan, who had been watching, all silently moved away from the gaze.
They all felt that Gu Xiaoran deserved to be punished, and no one tried to dissuade her.
With each and every sound of the ruler striking the ruler,
Gu Xiaoran groaned, tears welling in her eyes from the pain, "Mother, it hurts."
Qiu Yan continued with her work.
She knew Gu Xiaoran best.
