"You just said that among your group, I'm just a clown. I wonder who you're referring to?"
Shi Kun was overjoyed. Originally, all his attacks had come to nothing because of Chu Chuyan's intervention, but this guy actually overestimated himself and jumped out on his own. Hmph, he really is a lowly scoundrel who can't stand up to scruples. He becomes arrogant as soon as he gets a little proud.
“Naturally, it’s those of us from noble families or those with outstanding cultivation talent,” Shi Kun glanced at everyone in the classroom. “In the eyes of everyone here, you are just a clown.”
In his view, given the power and status of the Shi family, these people would naturally not refuse to give him face, especially since he was only stepping on an insignificant piece of trash.
"Really?" Zu An beckoned to Xie Xiu beside him. "That boy over there who looks like a girl, that's you. Stop looking around. Do you think I'm a clown?"
Xie Xiu looked annoyed, thinking to himself, "Why did you drag me into this battle of gods?" He glanced at Shi Kun's sinister eyes, then at Zu An, and finally said helplessly, "Of course not."
Putting aside his "friendship" with Zu'an, his family is from the lineage of the Prince of Qi, while the Shi family is from the lineage of the Empress. They were never on good terms to begin with. Moreover, Zu'an is now a teacher at the school, so he naturally wouldn't agree with Shi Kun.
Zuan gestured for him to sit down, then called on another person: "What about this pretty girl in front of me? Do you think I'm a clown?"
Seeing him point at her, Zheng Dan was quite happy to be praised for her beauty in public, but the thought of going against Shi Kun made her scalp tingle, and she could only say ambiguously, "How could that be?"
Her fiancé is Sang Qian, who is supposed to be on the same side as Shi Kun. But putting aside the fact that he had just had "intimate contact" with Zu An, even if he is now a teacher, she wouldn't dare to openly declare him a clown at school.
This Shi Kun looks very clever, how could he not even know this?
Zu An nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Wu Qing: "Miss Wu, do you think I'm a clown?"
Wu Qing gritted her teeth, wanting to nod in agreement, but remembering that she had just been tricked by him, she wasn't about to fall for his trick again so easily. Besides, Xie Xiucai had already expressed his opinion, so how could she go against her brother Xiu? So she could only reluctantly snort, "I wouldn't dare."
Chu Chuyan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, wondering what was going on today and why everyone was speaking up for Zu An.
Moreover, some of them were people she had never gotten along with, so she really couldn't understand why they would help Zu'an.
Suddenly remembering the few nonsensical things Wu Qing had just said to her, a thought popped into her mind: Could this guy have gotten involved with Wu Qing too?
At this moment, besides Chu Chuyan, the most shocked person was Shi Kun. He really couldn't understand what was wrong with these people, why they were all willing to go against him for the sake of a good-for-nothing.
Zu An asked around, then his smile faded. He looked at Shi Kun, who was completely bewildered, and said, "Go stand outside the classroom."
Shi Kun laughed angrily: "Who do you think you are, daring to order me around?"
Chu Chuyan was also puzzled, thinking that this guy seemed a little off today. No, everything seemed a little off today.
Zu An sighed: "Mingyue Academy has explicit rules that students who talk back to teachers during class will be severely punished, and in serious cases, they can even be expelled from the school. Do you think I have the right to order you around?"
Of course, he also knew that school rules were rigid, but people were flexible, and the school would never expel the dignified sixth young master of the Shi family for such a trivial matter. However, the school would not say anything about disciplinary action within a certain range.
"You, teacher?" Shi Kun seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. Just as he was about to say something, Yuan Wendong hurriedly tugged at his sleeve:
"He really is the school's new math teacher."
Shi Kun's first reaction upon hearing this was that he thought Yuan Wendong had gone mad. But when he saw the others nodding with sympathetic expressions, his smile froze.
"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!"
Shi Kun's eyes were practically spitting fire, and even though he always prided himself on his elegant demeanor, he couldn't help but swear.
"You didn't ask us either."
Yuan Wendong felt wronged, thinking that everyone in the school knew about this, but he didn't know that you didn't even know this.
Shi Kun was practically spitting blood. Why didn't Xue'er and Mei Chaofeng mention this to me? They made me lose face so badly, and I'm being laughed at by the whole class. No wonder the atmosphere in the classroom felt a bit strange from the very beginning.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately said, "I just transferred here today. Ignorance is no excuse. Besides, you didn't introduce yourself when you came in, so you can't blame me."
Zu An nodded: "That's right. I imagine you won't be happy about being sent out to stand as punishment. So how about this, since you're the math teacher, I'll give you a quiz during class. Anyone who can't answer it will have to stand outside as punishment. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing that he was going to ask a question, everyone in the classroom changed their expressions. They still vividly remembered how Yang Wei couldn't answer a single question back then.
Shi Kun was taken aback for a moment, but immediately agreed: "Of course, no problem!" He prided himself on being proficient in both literary and military arts, so how could these questions stump him? Besides, he was confident that he was better than everyone else in the class. If he couldn't answer them, no one else could either. He couldn't very well make everyone stand outside as punishment, could he? His wife was among them!
“Alright, listen carefully,” Zuan said. “There are two people, A and B. A only tells lies, never the truth; B only tells the truth, never lies. However, when answering questions, they only nod or shake their heads, without speaking. One day you face two roads: A and B. One road leads to the capital, and the other leads to a small village. You are standing before A and B, but you don't know whether this person is A or B, nor do you know whether a nod means 'yes' or 'no.' Now, you must ask a question to determine which road leads to the capital. So, how should you ask this question?”
Everyone in the classroom gasped in shock. Just as expected, this guy's questions were terrifying!
Shi Kun was also stunned, unable to understand the question for a long time. After a while, his face turned red and he said, "I don't know, but I don't believe they can answer it. Otherwise, you let her try answering it!"
He pointed at Chu Chuyan, already having already planned it out in his mind. If Chu Chuyan were to stand outside with him as punishment, it would be a wonderful thing. He thought, "You'll end up shooting yourself in the foot, sending your wife into my arms. I'll gladly accept her."
Zu An came to Chu Chuyan's side and quietly looked at her. Chu Chuyan was flustered at this moment. She had not yet recovered from the shock just now. The key was that she did not know how to do this problem!
Having been the top student in school for so many years, a well-known prodigy, it would be incredibly embarrassing if she couldn't even solve a simple problem and was made to stand outside as punishment.
Taking in the panic and apprehension in her eyes, Zu An smiled slightly: "Are you ready? I have a question for you."
"Hmm~" Chu Chuyan had never been so nervous in her life. Her mind went blank, and she began to calculate quickly how to solve the problem she had just solved.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zu'an spoke up: "Your question is, what does 1+1 equal?"
