When the four of them saw Ji Xiufeng's eyes, they knew his warning. Forced by his power, or perhaps out of hope, they nodded in response.
The teacher led everyone to the study and ordered them to stand outside and go in one by one.
The first one to go in was Fang Xiang.
The Master said to Fang Xiang, "I will never tell anyone else the questions I ask you today. You don't need to worry about others finding out. I will only ask you three questions, and you must answer them honestly. These three questions will determine whether you can continue to stay in the academy and your future. Do you understand?"
Fang Xiang's face was tense with sweat dripping down his forehead. "Clear, clear."
"Let me ask you, who started it first?"
"Yes, it's Hua Ziyun."
The Master continued, "Before the fight began, they started arguing. Who started the insults? What were the insults? Think carefully before you answer."
Fang Xiang hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "It was Ji Xiufeng who humiliated them. Ji Xiufeng ordered them to pass under his crotch, otherwise they would not be allowed to pass through the door."
The Master's face suddenly darkened. It was indeed that rascal Ji Xiufeng who was looking for trouble. Forcing someone to pass under his crotch was something only he could do.
"Okay, just stand behind the screen."
"Yes." Fang wanted to go in obediently.
The second person to enter was Zhang Dahai.
The teacher asked the same question, but the answer he got was completely different from what Fang thought.
At this time, Ji Xiufeng and others who were waiting outside gathered together and whispered to each other.
"I wonder what happened in there?"
"When you get in there later, no matter what happens, stick to what I said before." Ji Xiufeng was worried that they would not be able to withstand the intimidation and confess. "If I find out that anyone didn't do what I said, I will skin him alive."
Several people shrank their necks and nodded.
They went in one by one, all asking the same question. The people behind the screen, upon hearing that question and what the others said, all changed drastically.
None of them told the truth, but their answers to the questions were all different, and it was clear what was going on.
Ji Xiufeng was the last one to enter.
The Master already understood it in his heart, but he still interrogated according to the procedure.
"Ji Xiufeng, let me ask you now, who started the fight first?"
Ji Xiufeng answered without hesitation, "Hua Ziyun."
"Before the fight, they had an argument. Who started the insults first? What were the insults?"
When Ji Xiufeng heard this question, he insisted on saying something as bad as possible, so he said, "Hua Ziyun and Mu Zimo were the first to insult us. The insults were terrible. They said we were all useless and unlearned. They even laughed at us for being older but not doing as well as them in the exams. They also said that the teachers' talents were mediocre..."
The people standing behind the screen were ashamed when they heard Ji Xiufeng's words. He said that his words were even more vicious than what they had said. If the teacher really believed that they did not respect their teachers, they would probably not be able to participate in the provincial examination at the end of the month.
This move was extremely vicious and would definitely ruin the bright future of both of them.
When the teacher heard this, his face turned extremely ugly.
"Okay, stop talking. I get it."
Ji Xiufeng wasted no time in reminding him, "Master, their character is so bad. Students like them cannot stay in the academy, lest they lead them astray and affect the academy's century-old reputation."
