Wei Suo was taken aback, thinking to himself, "How am I supposed to respond to that?" So he changed the subject and asked about something else that interested him: "By the way, what kind of stockings was Principal Jiang wearing today?"
In Zu'an's mind, the image of Jiang Luofu's shapely, straight legs, glistening with a crystalline sheen, flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously replied, "Flesh-colored~"
Vesso swallowed hard: "Wow, she really is my goddess. I'm so envious of you. You've already had two close encounters with her in just a few days. I don't even have that chance."
Zuan chuckled: "You've never even seen her and you're still so infatuated with her?"
"You don't understand, do you? Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I was captivated by Principal Jiang's mature charm at first glance, and I've been smitten ever since," Wei Su said with a lovesick look on his face.
Zu'an cursed inwardly, "What nonsense! I know your heart is smitten, but you think your body is smitten too? You're dreaming!"
"By the way, who is this teacher? He's so arrogant." Zu'an took the opportunity to find out.
As expected of Wei Suo, a master of intelligence, he immediately said, "His name is Yang Wei. He is the head of the Household Affairs Department of Mingyue City. He usually manages agricultural and sericulture taxation in the city and also serves as an arithmetic teacher at the academy."
"Oh, a math teacher?" Zu'an said thoughtfully.
"Zu'an, get to the back and stand there!" Just then, Yang Wei roared from the podium.
The sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Many students who had just been awakened and were falling back asleep were startled and almost lost control of their bladders.
What on earth is going on? Can't a person get a peaceful night's sleep?
Everyone looked at Zu'an with curiosity, wondering what he had done to anger the teacher so much. At this moment, many people even admired him. Since this guy enrolled, there hadn't been a few days of peace at the school, and now he had managed to provoke the teacher's anger twice in such a short time.
Zuan frowned. He had long sensed the deep hostility this family harbored towards him, but he didn't expect it to escalate so quickly.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me tell you to go stand at the back as punishment?" Yang Wei had already come down from the podium and was waiting for him with a gloomy face.
Zuan sneered inwardly. He hadn't contributed any anger points, so his rage was clearly just an act. He replied calmly, "May I ask, teacher, why are you punishing me?"
"You didn't pay attention in class and were whispering with your classmates. As your teacher, shouldn't I punish you?" Yang Wei said arrogantly. This was the benefit of his position. When a teacher wanted to punish a student, he could easily find a reason, and no one could find fault with it.
Besides, this guy wasn't even listening to the lecture anyway, which saved him the trouble of fabricating charges.
Zu An frowned. This class of yellow students consisted of the worst students in the school. A few of them were paying attention in class, but from what he observed, a third of them were sleeping, a third were chatting secretly, and a few in the back row were even worse, secretly playing cards.
He didn't care about any of that and came straight to me. You know, I had kept my eyes straight ahead while I was talking to Weisuo, just in case he found something wrong with me. I didn't expect him to still find an excuse to make a fuss.
Since they're blatantly and shamelessly targeting him, then they shouldn't blame him for being shameless in return.
“I don’t understand this. I was listening attentively the whole time and didn’t talk to anyone. Do you have any evidence that I was whispering and not paying attention?” Zuan said calmly.
Yang Wei's breath hitched. He had originally thought that dealing with a student would be easy. He could just find a pretext to punish him, and then use that as an excuse to expel him from the school. That way, without the protection of the academy during the day, it would be much easier for those adults to deal with him.
But to his surprise, the other party immediately refuted him. You see, because of the special status of the academy in this world, teachers have always been respected. Such a direct rebuttal to a teacher is unheard of in the history of the academy.
However, he was not surprised but delighted. He had been having some trouble finding a reason to expel him from the school. After all, he was just an ordinary teacher. He could punish students on a regular basis, but he did not have the authority to expel them.
However, if the other party openly clashes too fiercely with the teacher, it is perfectly reasonable to expel him from the academy.
"I clearly saw you chatting with the people next to you without any restraint just now, how could it be fake?" Yang Wei snorted.
Zuan asked curiously, "Since you saw us chatting, you should have called us both to stand up at the same time. Why did you only call me? Teacher, are you deliberately targeting me?"
Yang Wei hurriedly explained, "I didn't know this student's name at the moment, so I only called you."
Zu An immediately laughed: "That's really strange. I didn't introduce myself when I came in. I'm a student who has only been at the school for a few days, and today is my first time taking your class. Yet you know my name clearly. It's hard not to make connections. You're deliberately targeting me."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the class looked at him differently. They weren't stupid; this was indeed a bit strange.
Although people don't particularly like Zuan, they don't have a good impression of teachers either, especially Yang Wei, this greasy, skinny middle-aged man, who really has no charm.
If it's true that the teacher specifically targeted a student's situation, wouldn't everyone be living in fear from now on?
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Yang Wei felt quite uncomfortable and hurriedly said, "Who in Mingyue City doesn't know your name, Zu'an? You clashed with a fifth-rank senior in the academy and won 7.5 million taels of silver at a gambling den outside the school. How could I not know?"
He had long heard that this guy was sharp-tongued, but he didn't expect him to be so skilled. He almost fell for his trick. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be on guard and be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Silver Hook Gambling House.
