An expert with four connected souls was no slower than Lu Ping in catching rabbits. Not long after, Zhou Chongan had already returned to the mountain path, carrying two rabbits in each hand.
Ruan Qingzhu had already left, and most of the other Jade Light Academy students had dispersed as well.
What the hell was going on? Everyone was not clear, but seeing Ruan Qingzhu's attitude, they could roughly guess what had happened.
Although Zhou Chongan and Lu Ping had both been slapped by her, and Lu Ping's slap seemed to be heavier, the two had different statuses. The meaning behind Ruan Qingzhu's slap was very different.
Zhou Chongan was her disciple. His status was not low, and he had already accepted a disciple. This slap was a slap to his face and a sweep of his prestige. If Ruan Qingzhu had not been unable to tolerate it to a certain extent, he would not have been put in such a difficult position in front of so many people. The damage from this slap was more painful than if Zhou Chongan had been seriously injured for a month.
On the other hand, Lu Ping was just a newcomer. No matter how special he was, he was still at the bottom of the North Style Academy. With this kind of status, Ruan Qingzhu, as one of the seven academicians, was willing to slap and teach him a lesson. Many people would feel honored. Moreover, even though Ruan Qingzhu had slapped Lu Ping, everyone could discern from her words that she was worried about Lu Ping. A newcomer could make the seven academicians worry so much, let alone Zi Mu who was also a newcomer. Jiang He and Ding Feng wished that the slap had been on their faces. The two of them were only Zhou Chongan's disciples. Although they were under the Alkaid Peak, they did not have many chances to interact with Ruan Qingzhu, let alone receive her teachings.
But in the end, the two of them were only glared at by Ruan Qingzhu. She taught Zhou Chongan a lesson because he was her disciple. However, she left Jiang He and Ding Feng for Zhou Chongan to teach them a lesson.
The two of them stood at the side of the road dejectedly. They saw their teacher return with four rabbits and expressionlessly return them to Lu Ping and Zi Mu. Even though he was furious, he could not show it in front of so many people. He knew that those who had yet to disperse were watching him make a fool of himself. How could he let these people talk behind his back?
That was why he didn't say anything to Lu Ping and Zi Mu. He just handed the rabbit to them. He turned around and left. Jiang He and Ding Feng followed closely behind.
When Zhang Xuan returned to his residence and stepped into the hall, he saw that Yan Zhen was already waiting for him. He and Zhou Chongan entered the North Style Academy in the same year. Later on, they both became the students of seven academicians. The two of them were on good terms. They called each other brothers. Seeing that Zhou Chongan had lost face in front of his peers in order to help him deal with the little discord between him and his teacher Li Yaotian, and had also made his teacher Ruan Qingzhu feel bad about him, Zhou Chongan couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry."
Zhou Chongan waved his hand. He did not show any intention of blaming Yan Zhen. After all, he still had a sense of responsibility. But after sitting on the main seat, he still didn't say a word and just sat there expressionlessly.
Jiang He and Ding Feng, who had followed him all the way in, were now standing in the hall in fear. Seeing that their teacher wasn't saying anything, they were extremely nervous.
"You two …" Zhou Chongan finally spoke.
"Teacher!" Jiang He, who had been trying to figure out Zhou Chongan's thoughts, immediately stepped forward impatiently. "Give me another chance, I will definitely be able to take care of that brat!"
Jiang He thought about it. He felt that based on his understanding of Zhou Chongan, he would not let Lu Ping off just like that. Therefore, he wanted to redeem himself by performing meritorious deeds. Although Lu Ping was strange, Jiang He felt that he could deal with him now that he had some understanding of him. Although he wasn't completely confident, this wasn't the time to be fussing over this. He couldn't take this lying down, and he assumed that his teacher wouldn't be able to either, so he volunteered very enthusiastically.
"Shut up!" Zhou Chongan's face darkened as he glared at him.
Jiang He was speechless. Could it be that his teacher was going to admit defeat this time?
"Is this the time to do something?" Zhou Chongan said angrily.
Jiang He heard this. His heart felt a little more at ease. At least he didn't guess his teacher's thoughts wrongly. Zhou Chongan didn't intend to give up just like that.
"Teacher, please tell me." Jiang He immediately put on an ashamed look and said.
"Do you think that Ruan Qingzhu gave them four rabbits just to find more trouble for them to punish them?" Zhou Chongan said.
Yan Zhen listened at the side. His heart skipped a beat.
Ruan Qingzhu …
Zhou Chongan actually called Ruan Qingzhu's name directly. It could be seen that he was quite angry with Ruan Qingzhu and already had a disrespectful attitude. Even though Li Yaotian had a bad impression of him because of Lu Ping, Yan Zhen's respect for Li Yaotian hadn't decreased at all.
"Brother Zhou, this matter, I am to blame for being meddlesome. Just pretend that I was never here, okay? "Yan Zhen said to Zhou Chongan hurriedly. Zhou Chongan's change in attitude made him feel a little fearful. He faintly felt that things would go out of control if this continued.
But Yan Zhen's words made Zhou Chongan a little angry. He abruptly stood up. The sturdy wooden chair that he had been sitting on for several years without the slightest bit of loosening, actually fell to the ground with a crash.
"Yan Zhen, what do you mean by that?" He started to call Yan Zhen by his name.
Yan Zhen was very embarrassed. He knew that what he said just now was not appropriate. He was the one who dragged the originally peaceful Zhou Chongan into this mess. After making him look like he was in a mess, he asked others to pretend that he was never here. No matter how he looked at it, it was not kind.
"I was wrong." Yan Zhen hurriedly said, "What I meant was that this matter can't be so exposed. I'm afraid that the academician will still be watching!"
"I know." Zhou Chongan said, "That was her intention with those four rabbits. She gave those two brats a protective umbrella for a month. If you touch those two brats, her rabbits will have problems. If something happens to her rabbits, she will know, and then she will ask about it. She is telling me that she will keep an eye on those two brats. At least for this month, they won't be able to play any tricks. "
"That's the Seven Stars Competition in a month." Yan Zhen said.
"Yes, the Seven Stars Competition." A cruel expression flashed across Zhou Chongan's face.
"You guys go back first! During this month, you have to practice hard. "Zhou Chongan said to Jiang He and Ding Feng.
"Yes …" Although the two of them were curious about Zhou Chongan's plan, they had to leave since their teacher said so.
"What are you going to do?" Yan Zhen asked.
"Can I tell you?" Zhou Chongan said.
"Brother Zhou, your words …" Yan Zhen suddenly stood up. "This is my business. How can I back down? I just wanted you to be careful. Since you've seen it so clearly, what else do I have to worry about?"
"Okay. If that's the case, that's good." Zhou Chongan nodded.
"It's just that … the two of us have to go through so much trouble to deal with two newbies. It's really …" Yan Zhen looked speechless.
"You're right. So, it doesn't have to be so complicated. As long as someone can teach them a lesson in the Seven Stars Meeting, won't our goals be achieved? "Zhou Chongan said.
