Chapter 807: Suspension of Duty and Idleness
No matter how much dissatisfaction Su Siye had in his heart, he did not dare to blame Taishan Mansion.
Compared with the direct troops of Taishan Prefecture, Tianhu Academy can only be regarded as a side branch, and the importance of the two cannot be equated at all.
Taishan Mansion is the main office of the gods to maintain the operation of heaven and man. Although Yin gods are not as good as Yang gods, and there are differences in the ways of gods and immortals, Tianhuyuan cannot compare with it in terms of importance or size.
With the Yue family's endorsement, this slap will never fall on Gong Mengbi's face.
Since it can't fall on Gong Mengbi's face, it can only fall on Su Siye's face.
Su Siye felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he wished he could kill him immediately. However, he still said stubbornly, "Even so, you should have reported this to the Tianhu Court first. How can you act on your own?"
Gong Mengbi said, "This was entrusted by the Yue Mansion. Firstly, it's due to my personal relationship with him, and secondly, it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Fox Court. If I report this to the Heavenly Fox Court, who will approve it for the Yue Mansion? Wouldn't it be like disturbing the Goddess again to worry about such a trivial matter?"
Su Siye's face flushed, and he looked at the goddess and said, "This happened today because you deliberately concealed it."
"Si Ye likes Dan Fei Su. I have explained several times, but Si Ye has turned a deaf ear." Gong Mengbi remained calm and said, "Si Ye wants to accuse me of something, and the goddess will decide for me."
Seeing that the situation had become awkward, Chun Siye stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "It was all a misunderstanding. Su Siye was also concerned about the goddess's favor being wasted, and that the money from the Sky Fox Court wasn't being used properly. That's why he got excited and alarmed the goddess."
"Su Siye, why don't you apologize to the goddess?"
Upon hearing this, Su Siye bowed to the goddess and said, "Goddess, I have disturbed your majesty without investigating. I hope you will forgive me."
The goddess looked at him quietly, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Chun Siye tugged at Su Siye's clothes and said, "Although Su Siye's mistake was unintentional, he did wrongly accuse a good man. Gong Mingfu is a pillar of the Sky Fox Academy. How could you remain silent?"
Su Siye looked at Gong Mengbi, but Gong Mengbi just looked at him quietly, and his eyes deeply hurt Su Siye.
Su Siye suppressed his resentment and said, "Gong Mingfu, I was anxious at the moment and didn't investigate further. It's my fault..."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. This is the holy way of the Queen."
Su Siye's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened in anger: "You!"
Gong Mengbi looked at him without backing down.
Chun Siye sighed inwardly and said no more.
"Enough." The goddess's gaze fell over, landing on Su Siye, and said, "Su Siye has been biased, not fair and impartial, and has abused his power. You will no longer be in charge of inspections. Go back and reflect on this for six months."
Su Siye stammered a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Goddess."
The goddess looked at everyone and said, "I hope you will take the inspection matter to heart."
No one dared to say anything more and immediately bowed in response.
The statue of the goddess was frozen in the smoke. She had left, but everyone still retreated quietly.
The farce ended here and Su Siye lost all face.
Not only were there a few chief priests and deans present, but there were also doctors of various subjects in charge of inspections, teaching assistants, lecturers, finance officials, attendants, children of noble families who followed the inspections, and even the fox who was worried about his companions following him.
It hasn't been long since Su Siye showed off his power until he was suspended for reflection.
But once the prestige falls, they will immediately become the laughing stock and the topic of gossip.
Everyone's gaze intentionally avoided Su Siye, but Su Siye felt that he was being stared at by everyone. He glanced at Gong Mengbi, and laughed in anger: "Gong Mengbi, you are so good! I underestimated you!"
He waved his sleeves and left, and no one tried to stop him.
Instead, Gong Mengbi said, "I'll go see Siye off."
Xun Jijiu's gaze held him, and he said, "That's enough. Let him go on his own."
Gong Mengbi knew Xun Jijiu was worried about his safety, and worried that Su Siye would become angry and humiliated. Although Gong Mengbi really wanted to add fuel to the fire, Su Siye was still a fourth-grade Taoist, and the risk was too high. After thinking it over, he gave up.
Gong Mengbi nodded, looked at the foxes who were still watching the fun, and drove them away, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back and repair the fox house? Repair it today if you have time. Tomorrow is not a day off."
The fox gentlemen also came out to comfort the little foxes, drove them back to the fox house, and let them calm down.
Su Siye suddenly rushed in, raised his hands and grabbed the necks of Erqiu and Sanqiu and left. It was really terrifying.
The foxes left one after another, but Daqiu remained motionless with tears in his eyes. The teachers knew his relationship with Erqiu and Sanqiu, so they did not urge him to leave.
Gong Mengbi waved to him, picked up the skin of Erqiu and Sanqiu by the scruff of their necks and stuffed them into Daqiu's arms. The two yellow-skinned guys had fainted from fright.
Gong Mengbi rubbed Daqiu's head and said, "Don't worry, they are fine. They will be fine after a good sleep. It's not easy to practice, and it's hard to be a wild fox. Don't waste your time."
Daqiu cried and thanked and apologized, but Gong Mengbi just patted his shoulder and said, "Go, don't worry about it, I'm here."
Only then did Daqiu hug his two brothers and leave.
After coaxing the little fox away, Gong Mengbi took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Kang Wen, saying softly, "Take good care of your injuries. You've done well enough. There's nothing else to worry about in the future."
Kang Wen was frightened all night and was injured by Su Siye. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He thanked Gong Mengbi and went back to recuperate.
Just as Gong Mengbi said, there is nothing worth worrying about anymore.
After Su Siye made a fuss, the goddess appeared in person to add a note to the inspection, and all subsequent evaluations went by very quickly.
Smart people won't make things difficult for themselves. Without Su Siye, this scoundrel, things will be much easier.
Not long after, Minister Hu called Gong Mengbi over and handed him the final evaluation results.
Gong Mengbi took a quick look and found that as expected, it had passed with the highest grade.
Hu Yuancheng asked, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Gong Mengbi said sincerely, "Of course I am satisfied. Thank you for your hard work, teachers."
Dean Hu consoled him, "Wuning Fox Academy is the most prestigious among all Fox Academy's. In recent years, quite a few Fox Academy's students have been admitted to the Heavenly Fox Academy. This shows that broad education is the right path. Don't take Su Siye's affairs to heart. Just do your job well and no one will make things difficult for you."
Gong Mengbi nodded in agreement.
The inspection delegation has already packed their bags, and Xun Jijiu feels somewhat happy, but not too happy at the same time.
"Although Su Siye brought this upon himself, he must hate you to the core because of his petty mind. You need to be more careful."
Gong Mengbi naturally understood it in his heart.
Xun Jijiu whispered, "There's one more thing I need to tell you. Huangfu Cong was tricked. Although he was summoned by the Sky Fox Curse, he doesn't know Xu Ji's background. Huangfu prepared a gift of apology and asked me to make peace with you. I agreed on your behalf."
"As expected." Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "When I met Huangfu Cong that day, he didn't recognize me. He just thought I was some evil fox demon who came to stop me. I guess he was dragged into this to confuse people."
"To find the real culprit behind this, I'm afraid we have to start with the Spirit Fox King and Xu Ji."
Gong Mengbi shook his head slightly and said, "I originally had a hidden trick on the Spirit Fox King, but he has already found a way to hide it. I won't be able to find him for a while."
Xun Jijiu was unwilling to accept this, and he and Gong Mengbi looked at each other, and found that they had the same awareness.
