Chapter 241: Little Fox Manager, Finding Another Good Teacher
Before the spring recruitment, the first batch of foxes had to move out of the fox house and leave.
Every fox left with tears in their eyes, looking at Gong Mengbi and Hu Ziyuan with eyes full of reluctance.
Gong Mengbi personally sent them down Fox Hill one by one and gave them parting words.
The foxes also promised that they would not slack off in their studies and would keep his teachings in mind.
Among them, the fox children who were born as fox prisoners were the most grateful to Gong Mengbi. Before Xue Nianjiao left, she said to Gong Mengbi, "Sir, we know you need help in Tianhu Academy. No matter what, we are your students."
Gong Mengbi said comfortingly, "The most important thing for you is to study hard. If you want to help me, you have to wait until you finish your studies. As for you, Gillian is now married, you must be careful and don't do anything rash."
Xue Nianjiao had a bitter expression. Last year, when he was practicing the art of controlling fire, he was restless and couldn't stop thinking about Ah Jiao. When he went to see her, he found out it was her wedding day.
Gillian's father was ill and was afraid that his daughter would have no one to rely on, so he found a simple and honest man to marry Gillian.
This honest man was a sincere person, known to all the neighbors, but his family was not very well off. But Gillian's family had a little money, so as long as the man was willing to treat Gillian well, they would not mind his poverty.
Xue Nianjiao attended Gillian's wedding banquet under the disguise of magic, and even sneaked into the bride's room to see her. In the end, she did nothing, but left a valuable jade fox pendant as a gift to Gillian.
After returning to the Fox Court in a daze, he was heartbroken and cried so hard that all the foxes in the building were alarmed. They thought that a close relative of his had died and came to comfort him.
Fortunately, he adjusted himself, and later concentrated on his studies, and was eventually admitted to Tianhu Academy.
After hearing Gong Mengbi's warning about this matter, Xue Nianjiao sighed and said, "A Jiao and I are not destined to be together. She is now married, so of course I can't harm her. I am afraid we are not destined to meet in this life, and I don't know if we will meet in the next life."
Gong Mengbi patted his shoulder and said, "Whether it's fate or not, who can tell? Go and practice well."
Xue Nianjiao then said goodbye and returned to her village to work as an assistant to the community god.
Almost all the foxes left, with only a few exceptions.
Of course, Kang Wen stayed and became the head fox steward. This was something she had requested a long time ago. Several of the fox cubs had trained in Taiqing Temple and Huaguang Temple.
Taiqing Temple and Huaguang Temple would not accept them as disciples, so when the agreed time came, they returned to Tianhu Courtyard.
Kang Wen valued their knowledge and character. As agreed, Gong Mengbi sent foxes of good character and knowledge to Taiqing Temple and Huaguang Temple, and invited them to stay in the Fox Courtyard together.
They were studious foxes, and they were overjoyed. So they formed a new team led by Kang Wen and Kang Yunu, who were responsible for all matters in the Fox Courtyard.
When the new team first takes office, they have to go through the test of spring recruitment.
The most important event in Fox Academy over the past year was undoubtedly the assessment of Sky Fox Academy. Fox Academy produced 33 students, which not only caused changes in the Sky Fox Academy, but also alarmed the foxes in Wuning County and surrounding counties.
The direct impact was that the foxes recruited in spring almost broke down the threshold of the fox courtyard.
In the end, Kang Wen had no choice but to report to Gong Mengbi, saying, "There are not enough fox pens in the Fox Courtyard. We have recruited too many people. I'm afraid the two gentlemen can't take care of them all."
Gong Mengbi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's record it for now. How much more is there than last year?"
Kang Wen counted and said, "More than thirty people."
Gong Mengbi said, "Nowadays, we are the only fox academy in Dongyang County. Foxes have nowhere to go to study, so they rush here to study. But we can't let this dampen their enthusiasm. If the fox shelters are not enough, we will expand them. If there are not enough teachers, I will go and look for more."
"Kang Wen, after this busy period, I will hand over the Fox Court to you. I will go to Jinhua to build another Fox Court. Otherwise, by next year, I will not be able to teach."
It's just a holiday, and it hasn't spread so widely yet, but so many foxes have come.
After a year has passed, it will be enough time for the news to spread further and attract more foxes, and then the teaching pressure will be even greater.
Kang Wen felt the pressure, but he was also very motivated and said, "We will take good care of Fox Court."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I still have to teach fox history classes, so I'll be back often."
Kang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved."
Expanding the foxhouse was relatively simple, and the foxes took matters into their own hands. The first two classes assisted with their magic, using earth magic to lay the foundation and build the building. The new foxes personally carried the soil, placed the beams, and laid the tiles, which helped them get to know each other better and strengthen their sense of belonging to the Fox House.
The more troublesome one is the teacher.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji knew a few friends who were willing to recommend someone to Gong Mengbi. But when Gong Mengbi personally tried the candidates, he found that only one person met his standards.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji smiled bitterly, saying that the main reason they failed to meet the standards was their beauty and courage.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji's friends were of course like-minded people with no moral problems, but if they wanted to teach a vixen, they would not be able to calm their lustful thoughts and would have to have some courage, otherwise it would be impossible.
If you are not careful, you will be ruined by the fox.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji had no choice but to inquire again, and finally found someone in Shidong Academy who might meet the requirements. However, this person's family was not poor, but quite wealthy. It would be difficult to impress him with money.
Gong Mengbi said: "If you can't move people with money, then maybe you can move them with ambition."
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji thought it made sense. They had come here out of poverty, but later saw the wonders of enlightenment in the fox.
Gong Mengbi asked around about the scholar's character and knowledge, and after secretly testing him, he simply appeared before him.
The scholar was reviewing his lessons in his study when he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a gentle young man in red clothes, black boots, and a golden crown holding his hair standing in the courtyard.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard the man ask, "But is this Mr. Xu Bogong?"
Xu Bogong then asked, "It's me. Who are you and why are you in my house?"
The man smiled and said, "My name is Gong Mingfu, a fox spirit. I have heard that you are a man of profound learning and a broad mind, so I have come to seek an audience."
Xu Bogong was very surprised and asked, "Are you a fox fairy?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "That's right."
Xu Bogong was quite courageous. Not only did he not close the door, he also exclaimed in admiration: "I've heard that foxes are messengers of the gods. They really have the appearance of immortals. What does the fox fairy want to see me about?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Some of my juniors are studying, but they have no good teachers, so I would like to ask you to teach them."
Xu Bogong opened his eyes wide: "Teaching foxes?"
"Exactly."
Xu Bogong asked, "Do foxes also need to study?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Without learning, how can one open their minds? Without learning, how can one cultivate virtue? Foxes must be able to speak human language and change into human form. They must pass the examination of the Goddess of Mount Tai before they are allowed to cultivate immortality. Otherwise, they will become wild monsters. I cannot bear to see my juniors become wild monsters, so I need a teacher to teach them. I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing to do so?"
Xu Bogong said, "Please tell me about the fox, then I can consider whether to go or not."
He was very curious about foxes and even more curious about fox spirits.
Curiosity is a good start, but it is also a trap.
