Chapter 153: Scabies
On the contrary, the Fox Academy assessment has become a foregone conclusion.
The Jade Fairy Goddess looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "You've done well. The Heavenly Fox Court governs all foxes in the world and is responsible for the assessment and promotion of fox fairies. It's difficult to take care of the inner workings while getting the upper hand. Your Fox Court is excellent. It promotes education for wild foxes all over the world. No matter whether they are wise or foolish, they can all find their place."
"Write a written statement and submit it, and let others see the charter."
Gong Mengbi bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Goddess."
The Jade Fairy Goddess smiled and said, "Let's go."
Fairy Qingyao smiled at Gong Mengbi and accompanied the goddess onto the sedan chair. The flying dragon pulling the carriage let out a long cry, and clouds appeared, carrying the sedan chair up into the sky.
The chief academic officer, the dean of studies, and the doctors all rode on the chariot and ascended into the clouds. In a moment, they disappeared into the sky.
Gong Mengbi watched them go away, suddenly laughed, and then the laughter became more and more outrageous.
Seeing the goddess's carriage leave, Ning Caichen, Ma Junji, and the fox children came out. Ning Caichen asked, "Fox Club, how did the assessment go?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "The great thing is accomplished!"
There was a silence among the foxes, and then there was a burst of loud cheers.
"Long live the Fox Society!"
"Long live Fox Court!"
Gong Mengbi let them be unrestrained. Such a happy event was indeed worth being unrestrained.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji also came forward to congratulate him and asked, "I wonder if Su Siye is satisfied with our answer?"
Gong Mengbi smiled meaningfully: "How can I not be satisfied? I am very satisfied!"
The acceptance inspection of the results of the Fox Courtyard in Wuning County was completed together with the performance evaluation of Gong Mengbi. Gong Mengbi followed the goddess's instructions and wrote down his experience in managing the Fox Courtyard in a written form.
As a higher education institution for assessing fox spirits, Tianhu Academy needs to be supplemented by middle and lower-level education such as Fox Son Academy in order to form a complete system.
A thick stack of words was finally completed and burned to ashes by Gong Mengbi with incense as a sacrifice.
When this document arrived at the Tianhu Academy's archives, it immediately caused an uproar.
Su Siye's door was about to be broken down, and countless fox fairies came to inquire, but they were all repelled by Su Siye with the excuse that the goddess had already made a decision.
That evening, Dr. Hu came to visit and asked, "Once the Fox Courtyard is completed, wild foxes will flourish everywhere. A noble family like us is forced to associate with them and be at their mercy. How absurd!"
Su Siye sneered and said, "Just wait and see. No matter what the government decrees, people still need to do it. Most of the fox spirits in the world come from clans like ours. Even if we need to build a fox courtyard, we will be the ones to build it."
"This Gong Mengbi is indeed quite capable. The admission of two wild foxes fulfilled my Su family's great-grandmother's prediction, a sign that our nobles' rights would be stolen. Hu Jiao was so talented, but her misguided actions and rebellion from the Heavenly Fox Academy were a relief to us. As for this Gong Mengbi, we thought he would remain quiet and insignificant, but we didn't expect him to cause such a big stir."
Dr. Hu sighed and said, "Now that the matter is settled, even Gong Mengbi is definitely not someone who will live in peace."
Su Siye said: "It's just a minor case of scabies, nothing to worry about. We will have plenty of ways to deal with him in the future."
Su Siye and Dr. Hu were judging Gong Mengbi, while on the other side, Dr. Huang had summoned Gong Mengbi and was giving him guidance in his dream.
Dr. Huang asked, "During the assessment the other day, with your vision, you must have seen a lot. Tell us about it."
Gong Mengbi pondered and said, "Su Siye and Dr. Hu seem to dislike me?"
"You little rascal," Dr. Huang said, seeing that he wasn't telling the truth, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, saying, "You've been studying at the Sky Fox Academy for ten years, and you still can't understand the situation there?"
Gong Mengbi couldn't play dumb any longer, so he spoke frankly, "There are few wild foxes in the Heavenly Fox Court, but many foxes with family backgrounds. Even someone as talented and promising as Hu Jiao is nothing compared to these wealthy families. Master said she'd gone astray before, so I don't think her arrogance is surprising."
Among the aristocratic families of the Heavenly Fox Academy, Su was the leader, followed by Chun, Hu, and Huangfu. These four fox tribes had produced numerous fox immortals and had been the backbone of the Heavenly Fox Academy since its founding.
This was also a headache for the goddess. Students from the four major fox tribes occupied the majority of the Heavenly Fox Academy, while wild foxes from all over the world could not get in. Wild foxes made up a very small proportion of the students in the Heavenly Fox Academy. The only one who was lucky enough to pass the exam and achieve a high position was Xun Jijiu.
Xun Jijiu and Doctor Huang were from the wild fox family, while Su Siye and Doctor Hu were from wealthy families. Since the Fox Courtyard was designed for the middle and lower classes, it was of no benefit to the noble fox family, so it was naturally targeted by Su Siye.
It was just that the goddess wanted to promote him, and they didn't dare to suppress him openly, so those two policy papers were written.
A fox's strategy essay is meant to show the fox as lowly, servile, without ambition, and only calculating. The goddess obviously looks down on such a useless fox.
Another strategy, the teacher's essay, was to demonstrate to the world that wild foxes were nothing more than demons and evil beasts, with a terrible reputation. Even offering generous rewards would be difficult to change the impression of foxes. If the goddess discovered that the teachers at the Fox Academy looked down on and disliked even their own students, then their efforts to educate them would be meaningless.
It's a pity that Gong Mengbi's first lesson is to teach people how to be human, and then he teaches by words and deeds, without keeping anything to himself. The so-called greatness of heaven, greatness of virtue, greatness of the Tao, and greatness of life are all words that Gong Mengbi often says in his daily teaching.
The merits of education extend far beyond mere reading and writing. If it fails to broaden horizons, cultivate ambition, and transform the spirit, how can it truly be called education?
The two gentlemen came after Gong Mengbi's three tests, and they maintained a close relationship on a daily basis, showing each other's sincerity.
Gong Mengbi's upright and righteous approach naturally completely destroyed the little tricks of Su Siye and Dr. Hu.
Dr. Huang said, "Hu Jiao, what a pity. You must keep your mind righteous and not be like her. You have offended Su Siye this time. In the future, whenever you encounter errands related to these high-ranking officials, you must be careful to avoid being tripped up by them."
Gong Mengbi agreed cautiously.
Dr. Huang said, "I will summon you to the Heavenly Fox Court tomorrow. Don't be afraid. I will help you, Xun Jijiu will help you, and even the goddess will stand behind you."
Gong Mengbi was moved and asked, "Are you still not worried about me?"
Dr. Huang laughed and said, "That's good."
The next day, I was summoned as expected.
Gong Mengbi was meditating in his room when he heard a call. He opened the door and found Tianhuyuan in front of him.
It wasn't a spirit that had arrived, but a true body. In an instant, the world shifted, causing Gong Mengbi's heart to tremble. Who could have performed such a technique?
Fairy Qingyao came out and called, "Why don't you come with me into the palace?"
When Gong Mengbi saw that it was her, he smiled happily, "Thank you, Messenger of God."
Fairy Qingyao said, "You are going to become famous."
As he entered the Jade Palace, he saw the entire Celestial Fox Courtyard. The Jade Fairy Goddess sat at the head, flanked by the Chief Priest, the Dean of Education, the Doctors, and the Deacons. They all stared at him. Some were curious, some surprised, some indifferent. Their gazes were like a collapsing mountain.
Gong Mengbi suddenly felt the pressure double, but his expression remained unchanged as he stepped forward and greeted them, "Student Gong Mengbi, greeting the dean and all the gentlemen."
Xun Jijiu nodded and said, "Student Gong Mengbi established the Fox Monastery to educate the local community. He should be a role model for all living beings, inspiring fox spirits everywhere to emulate him. Therefore, he deserves a reward. According to the goddess' decree, Gong Mengbi is promoted twice and transferred to the position of Fox Master of Dongyang County. He is also granted a seventh-grade celestial robe and a treasure tablet. I wonder if you have any objections."
The goddess' decree has been made, what opinions can the fox fairies have?
Xun Jijiu smiled and said, "I hope you will keep up the good work and don't let the goddess down."
Gong Mengbi's immortal official talisman jumped twice and turned into a seventh-grade fox talisman.
