Chapter 85: Chapter 77 Liu Mingyue Explains
No longer able to restrain himself, Zhang Xuan looked at his two female disciples.
The Yu Xiaoyu, who just a mont ago was wide awake and claid to have learned everything, now appeared utterly perplexed. anwhile, the Liu Mingyue, who seed completely clueless and didn’t understand a thing before, was now speaking fluently…
She even got a small part of the cultivation thod right!
Zhang Xuan’s brows knitted into knots.
Could it be that I was seeing things earlier, and it was actually Liu Mingyue who said she learned… while the one who claid not to understand was… Yu Xiaoyu?
While he was starting to question his own sanity on this side, not far away, Chen Hao also felt like he had gone completely mad.
Wasn’t Liu Mingyue quite hostile towards the Miscellaneous Duties Teacher, showing no interest in being his student?
Why all of a sudden is she speaking up for him… and rembering his lecture so clearly?
I’m trying to help you, yet you stab in the back…
Chen Hao suddenly felt like a clown.
“Young Master Chen, do you think Miss Liu might just want to help Teacher Zhang save face, so she’s saying this on purpose? In reality, it’s not what he taught, but rather a cultivation technique she morized before?”
A student suggested from within the crowd.
“That possibility can’t be ruled out! Otherwise, why wouldn’t a teacher teach the basic Recovery and Energy Storage Technique, but lecture on so unheard of secret manual?”
Another student next to him nodded in agreent.
“Exactly!”
Enlightened by the two’s analysis, Chen Hao’s eyes lit up, “It must be the case! Otherwise, how could it be that Miss Yu doesn’t rember a single word, while Miss Yue’er can rember so much…?”
Coming to this conclusion, he couldn’t help but call out, “Miss Yue’er, just tell the truth, there’s no need to cover for him…”
“Cover for my ass…”
Liu Mingyue rolled her eyes.
Although she didn’t like Zhang Xuan and didn’t want to beco his student, she wouldn’t fabricate stories or set soone up. She spoke of the cultivation thod simply because that was the truth!
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yu Xiaoyu, not far off, open her mouth angrily: “No, that’s exactly how the teacher explained it just now!”
Chen Hao: “Then you say it! If you can speak as Miss Mingyue did, I will acknowledge that this Teacher Zhang, indeed lectured on this set of techniques…”
“I…”
Yu Xiaoyu’s face turned red.
She hadn’t listened attentively during the class and truly couldn’t repeat it.
“I’ll do it!”
At that mont, Hong Yi stepped forward, “The teacher’s lecture just now was even more detailed than what Miss Liu described. After talking about the three dos and don’ts of cultivation, he said that one should practice patiently and not rush, that Origin qi can be drawn but not forced, and the specific thods are as follows…”
His mory was excellent, and what he recounted was indeed more detailed than Liu Mingyue’s version. It was clearly part of the sa, complentary cultivation technique.
After listening for a few monts and knowing this was ant to be a confidential part of teaching, Lu Mingrong interrupted Hong Yi’s speech, turned to Chen Hao, and snorted coldly:
“You should have already understood Hong Yi’s situation. Before the class, it was not possible for him to have access to the cultivation technique, much less collude with Liu Mingyue just to maintain Teacher Zhang’s dignity… Chen Hao, do you have anything left to say now?”
“I…”
Chen Hao’s face turned extrely unsightly.
Hong Yi was soone he had selected from the crowd just yesterday, and he knew his family background very well. Now, speaking exactly like Liu Mingyue, it proved that the technique was indeed taught by the Miscellaneous Duties Teacher in front of them, and was not morized from their respective families.
But still…
Could that fellow truly teach a class?
A Coachman who didn’t even know where the Source Pool was the day before yesterday, was now able to explain the Accumulative Realm’s cultivation technique clearly, and it was even a secret manual he had never heard of before?
No matter how one looked at it, it didn’t seem authentic!
“No, this cultivation technique is unheard of, and many phrases are obscure and hard to understand, likely to be half-truths and utterly improvable!”
A flash of understanding crossed his mind, and Chen Hao couldn’t help but speak out.
So literary and philosophical scholars intentionally discuss esoteric techniques to show off their uniqueness. This fellow here was probably doing the sa.
He introduced a previously unheard of cultivation technique, bluffed his way through, and after all, neither Yu Xiaoyu nor Liu Mingyue might actually practice it considering their family backgrounds.
Lu Mingrong frowned.
The techniques that Liu Mingyue and Hong Yi talked about indeed sounded profound, but whether or not it was practicable, even he, despite his strength, wouldn’t dare to guarantee without hearing the complete version.
Moreover, even with the complete technique, whether or not one could practice it or practice swiftly still needed soone to verify through actual practice, but he couldn’t say this aloud.
“Quibbling over nothing…”
With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Mingrong huffed, “How to teach and what material to cover is up to each teacher and their planned curriculum, sothing even we at the School cannot interfere with. You, a student, by what right do you question it?”
“School Head Lu, I’m not interfering, nor am I questioning!”
Chen Hao bowed with his fist cupped, “I’m just considering the future of the School! Both Miss Yu and Miss Liu are the pinnacle of talent from Baiyan City. If their potential is hindered by a Servant Teacher, wouldn’t our School be left with a reputation for leading students astray?”
Lu Mingrong was left speechless.
Why had he agreed to have those two take tutelage under Zhang Xuan? It was because he was an absolute genius! Once he rises, the truth would co out naturally, and everyone would praise him for his wisdom. The stain of a bad reputation… there was none!
But he couldn’t voice these thoughts…
About to burst with irritation and filled with anger, he said, “Then what do you propose?”
They would have to get rid of this nuisance after this affair… Otherwise, if they truly upset Zhang Xuan, it would not be worth the trouble.
“Reporting to the School Head, my idea is simple. The three of them claim to have learned the cultivation technique, right? If they have learned it, they should be able to practice it, especially since encountering Origin qi for the first ti through the ridians usually results in the most significant improvent… If their strength changes, then the technique is useful; if not, it is an empty show and downright deception!”
