Capítulo 975: Chapter 573: She Has Taken Charge
“It’s okay, Ziyu.” Zhu Yourong interrupted casually and calmly, saying seriously, “I am a teacher at the Academy. When students encounter difficulties outside, I am responsible for dispatching Nascent Soul to rescue them—all for the Academy.”
Zhao Rong’s expression was slightly blank, and he couldn’t help but look at the female teacher in front of him who had slightly raised her chin again.
No, why are you being so formal and distant again? Can’t we just communicate normally?
Zhao Rong nodded, looking at her, “Oh, is that so? Then Mr. Zhu, you must have co quite quickly; the other Academy teachers are still behind…”
Zhu Yourong remained calm and composed, “I have the Wind of Joy at my disposal, so of course, I’m fast. Didn’t Ziyu say before that with great power cos great responsibility? That’s exactly it.”
Saying this, the female teacher who had hurriedly traveled south calmly picked up the teapot and refilled the empty teacup in her hand with seven-tenths full of hot tea.
She took a small sip and then, as if rembering sothing, looked up and nodded at the man whose mouth twitched slightly:
“Yes, the tea just now was the sa, presented for Ziyu on behalf of the Mountain Master and others.”
“This ti, it was an oversight on the Academy’s part. The accompanying teachers failed to bring all the students back, leading to Ziyu being ambushed by bandits, a complete injustice. I offer this tea to Ziyu on behalf of the Academy.”
Zhao Rong…
was already numb.
He had no idea how many tis he’d been speechless tonight.
Being around Zhu Yourong tonight felt like falling into a series of traps, one after another.
He watched Zhu Yourong drink tea leisurely, tilted his head slightly, and then said, “Oh, didn’t you say you had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness and didn’t like using cups others had used? Why are you drinking tea from my cup now?”
Zhu Yourong didn’t even lift her eyelids, “Oh, I forgot. It’s okay, I’m not my true self, just a Nascent Soul avatar, as pure and pristine as Daoist glass. Strictly speaking, I can’t really taste any odd flavors.”
Zhao Rong: “……”
That’s not what you said earlier.
He thought about it but decided to hold back.
Zhao Rong had a hunch that if he dared to ask these questions again, Zhu Yourong would have another ‘trap’ waiting for him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong sighed and couldn’t help but rub his handso face.
Zhu Yourong, sipping tea with her head down, glanced at his face from the corner of her eye.
Zhao Rong steadied himself, waited for the Confucian robe-clad woman in front to finish her tea with an air of nonchalance, and then he opened his mouth to ask, starting the conversation:
“Yourong, you must have co over for more than delivering tea and checking the cleanliness of my tea—do you have sothing important to say?”
Zhu Yourong nodded and said directly:
“Ziyu, the incident that happened to you this ti has also caught the Mountain Master’s attention. The Academy has classified the situation as a serious level, and everyone is paying close attention.”
She paused, seeing Zhao Rong nod, and continued:
“The involvent of Zhang Huizhi, who colluded with bandits, ties to the Great Li Dynasty; that bandit Qin Jianfu’s affiliation with the Qin family of Great Wei; and the Siqi Academy, which relates to these two Confucian scholars… and so on.”
“All the mountain forces tied to this matter, Linlu Academy will investigate and negotiate with each one, determined to uncover the demons lurking behind and give you justice.”
“Ziyu, this is no longer just your issue. It concerns the dignity and authority of the entire Linlu Academy. It’s been many years since anyone dared to so shalessly ambush a registered Confucian scholar from the Academy.”
“Currently, the first batch of people sent by the Academy is on their way here. Among them, you probably know quite a few. There’s ng Zhengjun, Teacher Yan, and a Reading Seed, who is the Deputy Mountain Master’s disciple…”
Zhao Rong nodded, feeling for the first ti that having a major force as a backing was indeed nice.
At the very least, the Academy’s attitude made Zhao Rong feel quite warm-hearted; whether Zhu Yourong had fought hard for him in this process was still unknown.
Zhu Yourong added, “Ziyu, let teach you one more thing. Hmm, maybe what I’m saying is a bit inappropriate, but you should understand… You might want to ask the Academy for so compensation.”
Zhao Rong blinked, feeling it wasn’t a bad idea.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, the rolled curtain at the door was pulled open.
Little Qian’er entered with a wary look on her face.
