The two requests made in succession were rejected by Master Huo, and the group was very angry.
Unfortunately, within this academy, their status was unequal. Everyone was a head shorter than Master Huo, and apart from glaring to express their dissatisfaction, they had no way to make requests in a show of force.
"Then tell me! What can you do?! Can't you afford to lose?" Lin Jun said angrily, stiffening his neck.
Just go for it.
Master Huo glanced at everyone and said calmly, "If you really catch the thief, how about you swap roles for a day? You will be the master, and my five brothers will be the disciples. I will let you vent your anger. How about that?"
Everyone thought about it... although they were not very satisfied, it seemed that they had no choice!
Moreover, they have had a hard time these days, and now they have a chance to take revenge!
After they caught the thief, they punished Master Huo and the others by making them do horse stance! They were made to listen to the lecture and recite, and if they couldn't answer, they would be beaten with a ruler!
The more they thought about it, the happier they became. Their eyes lit up and they all said in unison, "Okay!"
Xiao Cunyu could no longer bear to look at them.
The silly boy Zhou Jingmao was so excited, as if he had made Master Wu kneel down and admit his mistake. He was extremely arrogant.
But he didn't think about it. Since Master Huo had studied at Wanjun Academy, his own talent must be quite good. He might even be a scholar or a juren with a degree! He must be much better than these idiots!
By then, Master Huo will be proficient in everything, so what excuse will they have to take revenge on him?
Besides, this identity exchange is only for one day. From now on, everyone will still be controlled by Master Huo and his men and will not be able to turn over!
"Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise I would be the same as these fools now!" Xiao Cunyu and Zhuang Jiulang muttered.
He stretched his head, feeling extremely lucky that he was smart enough.
"It's really difficult for the teachers in the academy. They have to come up with such a roundabout way." Zhuang Jiulang also felt that it was not easy for these old guys in the academy. They waited for decades and finally got these living students, but they still had to spend a lot of effort to make them go to school obediently.
Back then, only those who were talented and studious could enter Wanjun Academy!
"What are you two talking about?" Zhou Jingmao felt that Xiao Cunyu was chatting with Zhuang Jiulang again, and immediately moved the table closer to her.
Xiao Qi has too many good brothers!
Among these good brothers, only Zhuang Jiulang is the most different.
Even though Zhuang Jiu looks the most ordinary and is the poorest, Xiao Qi loves to whisper to him!
"Zhuang Jiufei said he wanted to give me some delicious food, but I feel that he is having a hard time at home, so it would be inappropriate for me to accept his gift for nothing..." Xiao Cunyu said politely.
"Yes! You are right to think so. You don't know the Zhuang family... The Zhuang family is in a difficult situation. There is not a single official in the family, and many family members are living off the fat of the land at home. I heard that they can't even afford to send gifts now, and all contacts with other families have been cut off over the years..." Zhou Jingmao immediately suppressed Zhuang Jiulang.
Zhuang Jiu raised an eyebrow. His voice was cool, melodious, and a bit dull: "You know quite a lot."
"That's right. I've already inquired about it. The older generation of your family is not in the court, and the younger generation is even more useless. They have already become impoverished! So you'd better keep a low profile. If you offend this young master, you will suffer in the future!" Zhou Jingmao was complacent.
Zhuang Jiulang glanced at him silently.
This glance made Zhou Jingmao's heart skip a beat: "What? You're still not convinced..."
Zhuang Jiulang was silent for a moment. Just when Xiao Cunyu thought he was about to get angry, he suddenly smiled. "You're right. The Zhuang family has fallen on hard times. I can't put on airs as Young Master Zhuang anymore. Besides, my family is poor, so I really don't have the luxury of pretending to be rich. I wonder if Prince Zhou would look after me a little for the sake of our fellow students?"
