Wu Peiliang once again became the focus of everyone in the school.

Although everyone knew that he definitely did not want to be the focus in this way at the moment.

Everyone in Shuexingtang who had a little sense of empathy felt embarrassed for him.

I even couldn't bear to look at him.

After all, it is not easy to be slapped in the face so quickly. It is usually a treatment only given to the villains with names in the bookstore novels.

So, I am the villain?

However, this famous scene, which is rarely seen in daily life, is still a bit surprising to everyone.

So at this moment, everyone no longer cared about the friendship and face between classmates. They all looked at Wu Peiliang with expectation, and his face looked very unhappy.

Try again?

However, the feminine-looking student named Wu standing in the middle of the hall seemed to be under a spell and stood there motionless.

For a while, there was no movement.

It's like competing with everyone around you in endurance.

There is a sharp contrast between Wu Peiliang's low-key attitude at this moment and his liveliness just now.

People who didn't know might have thought nothing had happened, but the changing expression on his face reminded everyone that something had indeed happened.

Although the situation was very awkward, no one spoke first to break the silence.

However, in Ruxing Hall, the minds of many students were still very active, and most of them were digesting the arrival of the two waves of 'uninvited guests'.

They had heard that the 'Mr. Zhao' who was currently on the podium was also teaching calligraphy classes at Zhengyi Hall.

However, on weekdays, Zhao Rong seldom mentioned the Hall of Justice during class, let alone compared the two halls.

There was not a single word like "Look at the Hall of Justice."

Therefore, the students of Ruxing Hall don’t really know about the relationship between Zhao Rong and Zhengyi Hall, and well, they don’t want to know.

However, judging from the words just spoken by the senior from Justice Hall who is known to everyone.

Zhao Rong seems to be... quite popular in the Hall of Justice?

That senior student Gu from Justice Hall was even jealous when Zhao Rong gave them an extra lesson?

What is there to be envious of? There is something wrong with your Hall of Justice... um, is there something wrong with us?

In addition, what attracted the attention of the students of Ruxingtang was Li Jinshu’s words not long ago.

At this moment, many students of Suixing Hall ended the boring game of "If you don't move and I don't move, whoever moves will be embarrassed", and their eyes shifted away from Wu Peiliang who was saying "If I don't move, you will be embarrassed", and glanced at the young Confucian scholar on the podium.

The students of Suixingtang had some understanding of this new transfer student.

He was just like another student in the hall, Fan Yushu, who used the recommendation letter from the teacher in the academy to get into the Mochi Academy through the back door as a special student and escaped the entrance examination.

These special students are naturally inferior to others in Mo Chi Academy on a normal day.

There is no explicit regulation, but it exists because where there are people, there are classes.

In a group, especially when it is just formed, everyone has a "ruler" in their heart, roughly dividing the people around them into different levels, and accurately defining their own position, and clearly knowing who they can and cannot make friends with.

In the new Mochi Academy, the most important 'ruler' of measurement is, of course, the study of the Seven Arts of Confucianism.

However, cultivation talent, family background, appearance, etc. can be considered secondary standards and serve as a supplementary "ruler".

Therefore, a student named Zhao was measured thoroughly by several "rulers" as soon as he entered the Ruxing Hall.

for example.

Zhao Rong is a gifted student, almost eighteen years old.

This can be easily measured with a 'ruler'.

He is about the same age as everyone else, so he is a suitable peer.

In the most important aspect of academics, when Zhao Rong first entered Ruexingtang, he gave an amazing performance in Mr. Si's class, and the students in Ruexingtang still remember it.

In addition, in terms of cultivation and family background.

There is nothing much to say about the former. At this age, as long as one has not reached the Haoran realm, there is nothing outstanding about him, just like most students in the school.

However, there is a distinction between those who can practice and those who cannot...

As for his family background, Zhao Rong came from a powerful family in the Shanxia Dynasty in the southern part of Wangque Continent. This was quite ordinary, even a little bit not presentable.

Only slightly better than a poor farmer like Jia Tengying.

Therefore, everyone was a little surprised that Zhao Rong could become a special student through the backdoor.

However, there are countless connections between the mountain and the people below, and who can say for sure about the deep connections left by the teachers of the academy outside?

In addition, the surname "Zhao" can attract some attention from the students of Ruxingtang.

There is a wealthy family with the surname Zhao in Duyou City. Those who are knowledgeable know that all Zhaos in the world are from the same lineage and their family tree can be found, so they are quite united.

So Zhao Rong does have quite a few distant relatives, but their impact is not great.

There are so many complicated "rules" and rules that everyone takes for granted that it is difficult to list them all.

However, when Zhao Rong came to Ruexingtang on the first day, he had actually gone through this unwritten process.

He just didn't realize it.

In the minds of the students of Ruxing Hall, the position of this student named "Zhao" is roughly the same as that of the honest man Jia Tengying. Well, even the assignment is to live in the same courtyard of the school dormitory.

It is quite suitable.

However, Jia Tengying was a good student, but his peasant background made some students stay away from him.

After entering Ruexingtang, Zhao Rong became close to Fan Yushu and started to make trouble in the music and art classes.

His "status in the hall" in the minds of most students had been declining.

If it weren't for the surprising reversal of impressions in the calligraphy class and the favor of that very popular lady in Confucian clothes...

However, even though Zhao Rong became an assistant teacher of calligraphy class at Suixingtang, the impression he left on most students did not change much.

On the contrary, the sudden change in "status in the hall" made some students feel a little uncomfortable or unhappy, such as Wu Peiliang.

Because of their academic studies, there are many students in Suixingtang who are extremely outstanding in a single art like Zhao Rong.

The degree of their skills differ. For example, the chess skills of "the favorite of the hall" Li Xueyu are very good, not much different from Yu Huaijin.

However, Zhao Rong's calligraphy is a bit outrageous...

The simplest comparison is Yu Huaijin, who is far ahead of others. She has always been ranked first in the seven arts.

But there is no doubt that the current first place in calligraphy will no longer be maintained.

This was unprecedented for the competitive Yu Huaijin, even for calligraphy, an art that was actually new to everyone.

However, this unprecedented achievement of defeating Senior Yu was originally what Wu Peiliang was prepared to achieve, and was also what Han Wenfu of the Monastery Hall longed to achieve.

But now... it was snatched away by that harmless-looking guy on the podium.

From this, we can roughly understand why Wu Peiliang was always unhappy with Zhao Rong and often jumped out to oppose him.

This was the impression that Zhao Rong had left on the students of Ruexingtang before today.

In fact, these were the two words that Zhao Rong had been observing silently before and had summed up in his heart over the past few days.

bias.

Moreover, Zhao Rong felt that he could use another word that would also be appropriate.

arrogant.

The arrogance of mountain people.

But in Zhao Rong's eyes, this world and this era are inevitable, just like his identity as a son-in-law.

However, what many people in this world don't know is that some people are born to break these "circles" and "rules", arrogance and prejudice...

At this moment, the same thing happened to the students in the Ruxing Hall of Mo Chi Academy.

What they are thinking about now is the relationship between Mr. Yan and Zhao Rong.

Before, I thought it was the same as Fan Yushu, who was given a place as a special student because of good luck.

But what did Li Jinshu mean by what he said just now?

Mr. Yan seemed to think highly of Zhao Rong. When he held a private sea bass banquet, the first person he mentioned was him?

Moreover, when Li Jinshu came over just now, he only invited Zhao Rong to go alone, and did not invite Fan Yushu to go.

Some students couldn't help but glance sideways at Fan Yushu in the last row, only to see that he looked normal, staring at the embarrassed 'Pei Niang' with a beaming smile. He wasn't dissatisfied with Mr. Yan's different treatment, on the contrary, he looked at him as if it was... natural?

These smart students couldn't help but be surprised.

If this is true, and I can get the special favor of the two masters of the academy, then at the apprenticeship ceremony a year later, even if my results are not outstanding, it will be easy for me to become a regular disciple, not to mention becoming a disciple.

Although Mr. Zhu's so-called calligraphy and Confucianism are somewhat unreliable, I heard that there is quite a lot of controversy among scholars in the academy.

But what Mr. Yan taught was the Confucian classics and Taoism, which were the real and broad path.

Among the seven arts, only two are major arts. The academy masters who teach classics and poetry have the places of direct disciples under their tutelage. At every apprenticeship ceremony, the students of Mo Chi compete fiercely for the places.

At this moment, many eyes were fixed on the face of the young scholar on the podium.

Zhao Rong was seen looking outside the door and then at Wu Peiliang.

He blinked his eyes slightly, with a look of anticipation on his face, and didn't care about the complicated looks from other students.

In the center of Suixing Hall, Wu Peiliang's smile was still frozen on his face.

Seems like an attempt to get away with it.

No one spoke to break the silence, and the atmosphere in Suixing Hall fell silent.

At this moment.

Someone moved.

But it was Sima Duyi who had been quietly watching the farce in the school.

He just nodded slightly.

Then he gently said to the nervous Li Xueyou, "I'll find you after class to visit your uncle."

Li Xueyu nodded vigorously, tied her hair into a ponytail and shook her head lightly.

Sima Duyi suddenly turned around, bowed to Zhao Rong on the podium, then turned around and walked out the door, still moving slowly.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Sima, get out of class is over at six o'clock in the morning."

He pointed to his sleeve and reminded softly.

Sima Duyi kept walking and nodded slightly.

The tense atmosphere in Suixing Hall suddenly relaxed.

Many students took a breath and tilted their heads to exchange glances.

Wu Peiliang, in particular, quickly took the opportunity to put away his stiff smile. He licked his lips and turned his eyes away from the podium, not looking at the young scholar who seemed to be smiling.

Zhao Rong actually felt a little regretful.

I had wanted to wait for Wu Peiliang to say a few more tough words and see if his words would come true, and then see what other "busy things" he was not aware of.

But it seems that no one is a fool, especially Wu Peiliang, who looks very smart. He didn't say a word. It's embarrassing, but it's better than getting slapped in the face again... right?

Zhao Rong smiled and gave him a way out.

"Brother Wu, is there anything else? If not, can you please sit back on your stool first? We have wasted quite a bit of time, and it's time to start class."

Wu Peiliang managed to utter, "No, no more, thank you Mr. Zhao."

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked quickly towards his seat with his hands down and eyes lowered, meeting the various gazes of his classmates along the way.

Zhao Rong let out a light breath and moved his eyes away from the back of Wu Peiliang who had returned defeated again.

He tilted his head, looking past Sima Duyi's back as he walked to the door and prepared to leave, and looked at the sun outside.

The young scholar frowned slightly. After all the delay, it was already late. Mornings in autumn are already very short.

Zhao Rong shook his head and reached out to take the students' homework on the long table.

"Excuse me, is Zhao Ziyu from Ruxing Hall here?"

Suddenly, a strange male voice came from outside the door again.

Hui** is in the Ruexing Hall.

The school, which had been bustling before, became quiet again.

The students of Ruxingtang looked at the person on the podium first.

Li Xueyu opened her mouth slightly.

Mr. Zhao is really busy.

Wu Peiliang, whose butt just touched the stool, almost jumped up and said to himself, "What a close call!"

Sima Duyi had already stopped walking beside the gate. When he heard the man's words, he opened his eyes slightly, as if he had just woken up.

Sima Duyi was not unfamiliar with this guy. On the contrary, he saw him often because they were the same type of people in the academy.

On the podium in the school, Zhao Rong stopped moving his hand and raised his eyelids.

This voice was clear yet had a certain magnetic quality... He didn't recognize it!

Zhao Rong withdrew his hand, straightened his back and turned his head.

Outside the door, under the autumn sun, an elegant young man with a smile on his face was walking in the direction of the slanting sunlight.
