Chapter 686: Rejection and Complaint
Even though Kang Wen is not the one who gets to be with this tall guy, he still worries about Gong Mengbi.
She had been admitted to Tianhu Academy and learned about the situation of Yehu through the doctoral lecturer of Tianhu Academy. Even if it was indirect, combined with the different attitudes of those doctors towards them, she knew that Gong Mengbi's situation in Tianhu Academy was not optimistic.
Many important positions in Tianhu Academy are held by aristocratic families, and Yehu's own future is not clear.
The Fox Academy was established by Gong Mengbi in order to educate the wild foxes in the world and promote the Queen's grace. Now he is not taking the initiative in the Heavenly Fox Academy, and now he has to accept this non-fox monster. I am afraid his situation will become even more difficult.
The original factions between the foxes were still disputes within the factions. Now that Gong Mengbi has brought in outsiders, I am afraid that disagreements will arise within the wild foxes.
Our own people haven't even had enough to eat, and outsiders are coming to share the meat. I'm afraid that not only the aristocratic families will not support it, but there will be people among the wild foxes who will oppose it.
Kang Wen whispered, "The Empress' spirit responds to the nine states, benefiting all living things. Master practices the Empress's way, is as virtuous as the bright moon, and follows the way of the Azure Dragon. Naturally, he has a heart of equality, but I'm afraid not everyone in the Sky Fox Academy thinks this way."
Gong Mengbi said, "Of course not everyone thinks this way. If everyone thought this way, the world would have been peaceful long ago."
Kang Wen still looked at him worriedly.
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "You have to trust Her Majesty. Since Her Majesty has agreed, it means that no matter how the process goes, the final result will definitely be good."
Gong Mengbi looked at the three boys crying with joy and muttered to himself, "But this time, I've really been caught by the tail."
"Kang Wen, there's no need to arrange for the second and third hills yet. We can discuss everything after I come back."
Kang Wen was startled again and asked, "Where is Master Gong going?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I'm going back to the Sky Fox Court to apologize."
He transformed into a huge flaming meteor and plunged into Longpan Mountain, and entered into meditation in Shouyue Tower as usual.
The physical body sat down in Shouyue Tower, and the spirit rose up with the smoke from the small golden furnace and escaped into the Tianhu Courtyard.
Hu Yuanshi, who was guarding the Sifang Courtyard, had not yet taken off his flowery cotton jacket. When he saw him coming, he just raised his eyes, pointed his water pipe at the gate of Tianhu Courtyard, and let him go in.
Gong Mengbi bowed to her and went straight to Tianhuyuan and then to the Jade Palace.
Before he entered the Jade Palace, he was stopped by two maids.
Gong Mengbi stopped. The two maids looked like both humans and foxes, with both fox and human features showing on their faces, but they did not make people feel scared. Instead, they looked charming.
Two maids stretched out their hands to block the way, and one of them said, "Gong Huzheng, Fairy Qingyao said that you are not allowed to enter the Jade Palace."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "What about the flower garden?"
The two fox maidens covered their mouths and laughed, saying, "You're not allowed to enter the Jade Palace, so you're certainly not allowed to go to the Flower Garden either."
Gong Mengbi frowned and said, "Then I'll wait outside."
The two fox maidens guarded the door and said, "It's up to you."
Gong Mengbi lowered his head, looked at his nose and his heart, and waited quietly outside the palace gate.
He waited from dusk to dawn, and from morning to afternoon, until finally a sound came from the Jade Palace.
Fairy Qingyao and the two fairies laughed as they left the Jade Palace. Seeing Gong Mengbi, she didn't even glance at him, even though he followed the maid at the door and called out, "Fairy Qingyao."
It was almost dusk when Fairy Qingyao came back from outside and went through the palace gate again, still without giving Gong Mengbi a look.
Gong Mengbi was turned away for two days.
The goddess presided over the Heavenly Fox Court, and people came and went in the Jade Palace every day. On the third day, various fox fairies often passed by the Jade Palace in a pretentious manner to make fun of Gong Mengbi, and some even deliberately greeted him.
On the afternoon of the third day, even Su Siye came in person.
Su Siye looked at Gong Mengbi and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Master Mingfu from the Fox Courtyard? Are you here to see the goddess? Why don't you go in?"
Gong Mengbi smirked and said, "I'm not busy. I'll wait a little longer."
Su Siye chuckled and said, "You're not going in? Then I'll go in first. Speaking of which, many doctors have complained to me, saying that the fox students' aptitude is worrying, and many are as stupid as pigs. I'm afraid it's tarnishing the reputation of the Heavenly Fox Academy. It's probably not a solution to continue like this. I was just about to advise the goddess to see if we can increase the difficulty of the annual examination, so that no unlucky people can take the opportunity to sneak into the Heavenly Fox Academy, and then we'll waste our time training them but fail to fulfill our important responsibilities."
Gong Mengbi also laughed and said, "If Fox Life can't learn, it could be that the doctor can't teach. In my opinion, it would be better to re-examine the abilities of the doctoral students in each subject. If they don't have the ability to teach, they should be dismissed as soon as possible and given a position that suits them, so as not to mislead the students, right?"
Su Siye's expression changed, and he pointed at his nose and said, "You!"
Gong Mengbi reached out and grasped his fingers, pressing his hand down. He said, "What's wrong, Siye? If I'm wrong, feel free to point it out. I'll be humble and willing to learn. There's no need to get angry."
Su Siye had one of his fingers held by him, and he tried to break free but failed. He had already used his magic power, but it seemed that he had hit not a fox but a mountain, and his heart was immediately startled.
Gong Mengbi loosened his fingers, resisting the urge to pull them down. Instead, he patted Su Siye's arm and said, "Siye, this is the Jade Palace."
Su Siye snorted coldly and said, "Gong Mengbi, I wonder how long you can keep jumping around!"
He flicked his sleeves and went into the Jade Palace to file a complaint.
Gong Mengbi took a deep breath, put his hands in his sleeves, suppressed his emotions, and continued to wait patiently.
Not long after, Su Siye walked out of the Jade Palace quickly, glared at Gong Mengbi fiercely, turned around and left.
Afterwards, Fairy Qingyao came slowly over and looked at Gong Mengbi, as if she had just spotted him. She was startled and said, "Who is here? When did Fairy Mingfu arrive? Why didn't you ask someone to announce it? I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
The maid at the door changed shifts and then came back, lowering her head and biting her lip, trying hard to suppress a smile.
Gong Mengbi bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Sister Qingyao. I acted on my own initiative and I truly deserve to die."
Fairy Qingyao said, "I don't deserve it. Immortal Mingfu even reprimanded Su Siye. I am just a small envoy, and I don't deserve such a great honor."
Gong Mengbi's brows twitched, and he begged for mercy: "Good sister, I was wrong, please stop teasing me, I'm so embarrassed."
Fairy Qingyao then sneered and reached out to knock down his raised hand. She said, "You are quite good at offending people. Su Siye just filed a complaint against you, accusing you of disrespecting the rules of respect and order and offending your elders. The goddess wants you to come for questioning."
Gong Mengbi was slapped and said awkwardly, "He provoked me first."
Fairy Qingyao glared at him and said, "He was the one who challenged you first. Did those two yellow-skinned guys also challenge you first?"
Gong Mengbi bowed his head to admit his mistake and followed Fairy Qingyao into the Jade Palace.
