After Feng Qinghuang pulled Feng Muwan back to her courtyard, she found that her master had followed them. She knew that her master had come to see her.
Anyway, she knew that her master definitely wouldn't provide the money, so it would naturally come from Elder Lu. Besides, she had only done this to help her daughter out of a predicament; she didn't necessarily want the academy to pay for it, since she wasn't short of money herself.
Upon entering the courtyard, Feng Qinghuang noticed two people pressing down on the little dumpling's tail and smiled faintly.
When the disciples saw Instructor Feng return, they immediately cried and begged for forgiveness.
"Instructor Feng, we were wrong. We shouldn't have come to switch the exam papers. Please ask the Great Immortal Python to release us."
God knows, when they saw the sleeping little dumpling, they were so scared they almost wet their pants. They completely forgot why they came. They wanted to sneak away, but they had only taken two steps when they were pinned down here.
It's been almost half an hour now, and if they don't let go soon, their backs will break.
Feng Qinghuang waved her hand, and the little dumpling moved its tail away.
"Who came up with the idea of coming here to exchange exam papers? Also, how many of you are there? Bring the disciple who came to call me today."
The two disciples hesitated and didn't want to speak. As soon as Feng Qinghuang moved her fingers, one of the disciples quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. He didn't want to be suppressed anymore.
“Mentor Feng, there are five of us in total. Two others didn’t come this time. We were worried that we wouldn’t succeed this time, so we’ve prepared for the next time.”
Feng Qinghuang sneered: "So you do know to go in batches? Then don't blame me. Who told you to be so unlucky? Are you going to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment yourselves, or should I have Little Dumpling take you there?"
The two disciples quickly begged for mercy: "Master Feng, please forgive us this once. We will never dare to do it again."
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "I'll spare you this time, but if you dare to do it again, then hurry up and remember to bring the other three with you. Otherwise..."
"Yes, yes, we'll go, we'll definitely go. Goodbye, Instructor Feng."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two disciples took off running, fearing that Instructor Feng would send the giant python to chase them. Although going to the Discipline Hall would be a painful experience, it was still better than being swallowed by the giant python.
I ran into the dean again at the door. I thought to myself, "Oh no, even the dean knows about our cheating on the exam. Will they be kicked out in the future?"
As the dean, Rong Jin wouldn't bother with such matters. If his apprentice could handle it, why should he bother?
Rong Jin walked into the courtyard, sat down on a stool naturally, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Disciple, you and Aqi aren't going to teach, are you joking?"
Feng Qinghuang glanced at him: "Master can be taken seriously too."
Rong Jin's lips twitched; his little apprentice had kicked the ball back.
“Disciple, many disciples really enjoy your and Aqi’s classes. What will happen to them if you leave?”
Feng Qinghuang said dismissively, "None of you care whether I live or die, so why should I care about them?"
Rong Jin quickly smiled apologetically: "Disciple, look at what you're saying. How can you say that? How could your master not care about your lives? How about this, as long as you stay, I'll give you and Aqi five hundred taels of silver each every month. Is that alright? But you must keep it a secret, otherwise you'll all come to me asking for a raise, and I'll go bankrupt."
After listening to her master's words, Feng Qinghuang exchanged a glance with her daughter, and then looked at Rong Jin in tacit understanding.
"Master, it seems you have quite a lot of savings."
Rong Jin clutched her spatial ring tightly: "Don't even think about taking it. This is my savings for my funeral; there's no way I'm giving it to you."
Rong Jin was just joking with his disciple. If his disciple wanted it, he would give it to him without hesitation.
Feng Qinghuang pouted, "Who wants your money? I just wanted to know if Master is very poor, after all, he owes me and Aqi three years' wages. I was going to let it go since Master is so poor, but since that's the case, then please, Master..."
Before Feng Qinghuang could finish speaking, Rong Jin quickly chimed in.
"Haha, my disciple is the best. He doesn't even want all this money. If Elder Lu can return the money, I'll use it to subsidize the academy. My disciple is becoming more and more kind-hearted."
Hearing Rong Jin's words and seeing his happy expression, Feng Qinghuang was also very happy. Her master had worked so hard all these years; if this money could make him happy, what did she care?
However, Feng Qinghuang didn't miss a single word that needed to be said.
"Wanwan, when you find a husband in the future, you can't marry someone as stingy as your master, understand? You have to find someone like your father who is willing to spend money on you. That's a good match, understand?"
Rong Jin glared and puffed out his cheeks: "What are you saying, you brat!"
Feng Qinghuang patted her little chest: "Don't worry, Mother. Even if the husband I find in the future is not rich, I am rich. I can support him."
“No way, why would you marry someone who can’t even support a wife? Not only will your mother disagree, but your father won’t agree either. But if it’s just temporary, we can wait and see, understand?” Feng Qinghuang didn’t want her daughter to marry a poor man and suffer.
Feng Muwan nodded perfunctorily. How could her taste be so bad? Besides, she was a little money-grubber. With her father as a benchmark, how could she possibly be interested in those low-class things? She was just joking with her mother, and her mother actually took it seriously.
The three generations of master and apprentices chatted in the courtyard for a while before going back to their respective tasks.
