"Report to the principal, yes!"
"Alright then."
The principal nodded, speaking earnestly, "That child was brought in from outside, without any formal training experience. If he doesn’t do sothing well, don’t scold him. Explain it to him calmly. Pay attention to your thods, don’t treat him like a new recruit. Do you understand what I an?"
"I understand."
The instructor almost started to doubt his life.
After the eting was dismissed, the instructor approached the horoom teacher and quietly asked, "What’s the background of the student in your class? Why does the principal treat him like a treasure? Could he be the marshal’s illegitimate child?"
"Of course not."
The horoom teacher firmly denied it, "Even the marshal’s illegitimate child wouldn’t receive such treatnt."
"Hmm... huh?"
Nowadays there are no mobile phones or internet, and not everyone is well-inford. The instructor only knew that Wang Yunxiao was impressive, but had no concept of how impressive he actually was.
People in the military are generally skeptical, and even the troublemakers will be put to the test.
To be honest, Wang Yunxiao’s actions after entering the school had nothing to do with being rebellious, but the school’s inexplicable enthusiastic attitude toward him led many who didn’t understand the situation to have subtle misunderstandings—were they sure he wasn’t soone’s Crown Prince here to gain experience?
"So things involve secrets and aren’t easy to talk about, so let just tell you this."
The horoom teacher glanced around to ensure no one was nearby and whispered to the instructor, "If we hadn’t gone all out to bring him back here, that kid would’ve started as a company commander in the Qilin Army, and by now, he’d easily be a battalion commander in a main force."
"Saying he can’t lead troops is like questioning whether a chef can cook."
The instructor fell silent.
In the Army, even a battalion has a large structure, starting with three thousand people, and we’re talking about the Qilin Army... All the students at the Naval Academy combined don’t even number three thousand.
So it’s no wonder the principal’s attitude is so unusual.
What level are you at, and what level is he at?
Wang Yunxiao didn’t even know that after only being a class monitor for a few days, he almost got removed by the instructor because he didn’t fasten his discipline badge properly.
Of course, even if he were removed, it wouldn’t matter to him.
He didn’t need those minor honors to embellish his resu.
At this mont, he was wearing glasses, grading exam papers in the dormitory.
It was the simplified exam paper he designed for the horoom teacher to select Advisors.
During the previous basic culture class exam, the horoom teacher also handed out this paper for the entire class to take.
The whole dorm was gathered around, watching him grade without daring to breathe.
The hallway was also crowded with people.
After a long ti, Wang Yunxiao finally lifted his head, rubbing his sowhat tired wrist, and Qin Zhigang quickly handed him tea and gently fanned him on the side.
Wang Yunxiao laughed, "No need to flatter . Your grades are good, and Xu Xingchen, Liu Yang, and Zhao Heihu all have potential too."
What, I have potential?
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhigang was overjoyed, but quickly realized sothing was wrong—why was Zhao Heihu included?
He turned his head to look at the dark big guy sitting in the corner.
Zhao Heihu, true to his na, was dark and rugged. He ca from a family of fishern and grew up on the docks, his skin tanned like an African exchange student, and not too bright. He believed whatever others said.
In Northeast talk, he was a bit of a fool.
And you think he has the talent to be an Advisor?
What now, did his Kunlun bloodline awaken? Can he dance the Huxuan Dance?
"Class monitor, what’s the standard here? Is it reliable?"
"Not reliable."
Wang Yunxiao shook his head, "Personal experience, just one man’s opinion, with no scientific basis."
"Class monitor, have you seen Advisors before?"
"Yes, both the righteous and heretical paths."
"How are there righteous and heretical paths?"
"Different cultivation thods, very different."
"Is the heretical path easier to cultivate?"
"Yes."
"All of you, shut up!"
Song Mingyuan had been watching on the side. After Wang Yunxiao finished grading all the exams, he quickly approached to look at his own paper, only to find he scored just 32 points, leaving him disheartened.
Is the gap between people really this wide? Qin Zhigang scored 64, so why do I only have half of his?
"Class monitor, why did I score zero on this question?"
"Which question?"
Qin Zhigang took his paper and glanced at it, "This one... ’The civilian woman Qin Xianglian accuses the Prince Consort Chen Shii of abandoning his wife and child’... What is this? Why did you write about beheading Chen Shii?"
Song Mingyuan was puzzled, "Isn’t that the outco of the opera?"
"So you only rember the part where Chen Shii is executed?"
"What else? Isn’t the ending where Chen Shii gets executed? How did you write it?"
"Hey! That’s not the point!"
Wang Yunxiao quickly interrupted, reaching out to take the paper back, "Alright, I’ll take this to the horoom teacher. It’s enough for you to know your scores, don’t pry into each other’s results."
"No, class monitor, don’t leave yet!"
Song Mingyuan grabbed Wang Yunxiao, "I don’t care about the other questions, but tell why I scored zero on this one? Does that an Bao Gong was wrong to execute Chen Shii?"
Wang Yunxiao sighed, "This question wasn’t about right or wrong, it was to see if you have the potential to be an Advisor. Didn’t I tell you before, the most important thing about being an Advisor is being ticulous."
"Think carefully, what was the question I asked?"
Song Mingyuan was puzzled, "It’s about how Bao Gong judged at the end, I rember it clearly!"
Qin Zhigang laughed, "Are you stupid? The question was what you would do as Bao Gong to solve the case."
"And what’s different from what I said?"
Qin Zhigang was speechless, "Class monitor, don’t bother with this idiot. Go find the horoom teacher, I’ll explain it to him."
"There’s no difference!"
Song Mingyuan stubbornly insisted.
He probably realized his mistake but was too proud to admit it, so he kept struggling.
"The question the class monitor set was about the process, but you answered with the final outco, understand?"
Qin Zhigang turned to ask Zhao Heihu, "How did you write this question?"
Zhao Heihu, touching his shaved black head, laughed, "Old Song probably only rembers the ’Prince Consort approaches to see closely’ part. Actually, the ’Execution of Chen Shii’ play is quite long. I heard several full versions when I was young, including Qinqiang, Xipi, and Drum style... When they reach the ’approach to see closely’ part, that’s already the last stage of the entire play."
"The wealthy only listen to this part, and the famous actors only perform this segnt. So the word spread that Bao Gong executed Chen Shii without questioning him."
"In reality, there was an investigation process before this, because Qin Xianglian had no concrete evidence to prove her relationship with Chen Shii. Bao Gong couldn’t just take her word for it, so he did three things."
"First, he sent soone to their hotown to find witnesses to prove their marriage. Second, he obtained the assassin’s weapon, confirming through verification that it had marks from the Princess’s residence. Third, during a court session, Bao Gong brought up the topic to test Chen Shii, finding him visibly flustered and evasive. Only after these three actions did Kaifeng Prefecture formally file the case and summon the Prince Consort."
"You rember it so clearly; I almost forgot about the knife sheath."
Qin Zhigang looked at Song Mingyuan, "Did you hear that? This is the perfect score answer! You didn’t even understand the question yet dared to question the class monitor. Old Zhao was right about one thing: only a true master has the right to perform just the Prince Consort’s part. Any perforr entering the trade must morize all the scripts and lines, right?"
Song Mingyuan blushed, too embarrassed to speak.
