"ah?"
Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then looked up, wanting to observe whether Tian Liqing's expression was sarcastic.
"There's no need to investigate further. I'm serious. Let this monument stand."
As Tian Liqing spoke, he waved his hand, and a beam of white light landed on the stone tablet, not only correcting its angle but also making it sink deeper into the ground.
His hand was knocked away, and when he tried again, he found that he could no longer touch the stone tablet.
"headmaster!"
"We can't let him actually erect the monument here..."
"Our Suzhou University of Science and Technology has a century of history and countless glories. How can it be like this..."
Not only was Shen Qian taken aback, but the teachers and students around him also changed their expressions. For a moment, they completely disregarded the rules and started to speak up.
Tian Liqing turned around and scanned his surroundings.
His expression was calm, but wherever his gaze fell, all the doubts and anxious voices subsided.
"I am very disappointed in you all." Tian Liqing spoke, his voice not loud, but it resonated in everyone's ears.
The square fell completely silent, and countless people bowed their heads.
"But I... am not disappointed in your performance just now."
Tian Liqing's words puzzled everyone, and they subconsciously looked up.
"Martial arts are a matter of life and death. I am pleased that when someone came to challenge our school, you did not back down. At least everyone who participated gave their all without reservation."
Tian Liqing smiled calmly, "At this moment, you have disregarded your personal honor and shame, and fought bravely to defend the honor of the school. Even if you lost, you have done your best."
"But……"
Just as everyone relaxed, Tian Liqing abruptly changed the subject.
"I am very disappointed with your performance."
"Losing isn't shameful; what's shameful is refusing to admit defeat!"
"Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is not being able to grow from failure!"
"Does this mean that my prestigious Suzhou University of Science and Technology is so devastated by a small setback today that I can never get back up?"
"Answer me, are you all such useless trash?"
Tian Liqing asked in a deep voice.
"no!"
A series of shouts, though not in unison, rang out, making everyone blush and their necks bulge.
"Isn't that enough?" Tian Liqing smiled. "Losing is losing. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter. I'll keep this monument here, but I also believe it will fall one day. It's just that we need you to give us the reason. Do you... have confidence?"
"have!"
This time, a unified, thunderous roar, seemingly about to pierce the clouds, resounded throughout the entire campus of Suzhou University of Science and Technology.
Only Chen Qian, seeing Tian Liqing's gratified expression of "a promising student" and the determined looks in the eyes of everyone around him, couldn't help but complain in his heart.
...As expected, experience matters.
He had just thought that Tian Liqing genuinely admired him, which was why he was being so kind to him.
So the other party was using him as a whetstone for Suzhou University of Science and Technology.
It is foreseeable that, after Tian Liqing's intervention, this stone tablet will not only no longer bring humiliation to the students of Suzhou University of Science and Technology, but may even play a positive role in the future.
Before he was arrested, he naturally became the biggest "villain" in the eyes of the students of Suzhou University of Science and Technology.
It seems unlikely that there will be any peace in the future.
The key is that he also has to "cooperate" to some extent, and even owe Tian Liqing a debt of gratitude.
Before he came, he was worried that Su Kewu would be angry and do something bad to him, so he even asked Cheng Qingqing to cover for him... Now it seems that he was just overthinking it.
Shen Qian suddenly felt a pang of regret; he shouldn't have brought this monument with him.
