Chapter 25 – The master and disciple are simply wolves in sheepskin! (Part 1)
Who would have thought Lin Tianlang would take the side of his master instead of his father’, he solemnly said: “Princ.i.p.al Lin, in Lin Mumu’s matter, you acted unjustly. Don’t think that we don’t know there’s someone playing dirty tricks behind the scenes.
What? Are Yunjia’s members people but the disciples of my SanQing temple are not?
(TN: Adding Jia to a surname means the ancestral home or generally the clan, the Family. Yunjia means the Yun Family/clan. SanQing is the name of their Daoist temple. A so for the expression “are they people but we’re not?” means why do you treat them better, give them face, respect them, but not us.)
In a certain way, my master’s contribution to China isn’t any less from that of general Yu’s. What do you think?”
“What a quick-witted Daoist priest!” Lin Princ.i.p.al finally made up his mind: “How about this, you first let Lin Mumu study hard and make some efforts, as long as she has a single chance to pa.s.s the test, I will immediately lower the standard as much as possible for her.”
“Then what if my junior sister actually surpa.s.ses those students of yours?” Lin Tianlang squinted his eyes like a fox.
Princ.i.p.al Lin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. This master and disciple duo have been causing a ruckus for half a day, not because they were afraid of Lin Mumu failing the test, but this final sentence was the actual key point!
This whole matter already gave him a big headache, he could only grit his teeth and say: “If Lin Mumu can pa.s.s the exam and get admitted into the preparatory cla.s.s, as a special talent, she will naturally have priority in applying for the school’s scholars.h.i.+p, as it is the school’s honor and main objective to vigorously a.s.sist the special talents.”
“Princ.i.p.al Lin is indeed generous. In fact, my master is not short on money. It’s just that my junior sister is being bullied for no reason. If you don’t want to be on the losing side, you need to ask for justice, don’t you think so?” Lin Tianlang smilingly took off his suit, and instantly transformed from an intimidating ruffian to a Daoist disciple with a refined aura.
The master also took of his suit and revealed the traditional short cyan robe underneath and resumed his refined and scholarly temperament.
After Princ.i.p.al Lin witnessed how the master and disciple duo played little tricks like ruffians and then resumed their refined bearings, they both left the school building, and all pa.s.sing by students and teachers were in awe of their aura.
The master and disciple are simply wolves in sheepskin!
However, Princ.i.p.al Lin was helpless, he didn’t have the final say in Beijing University. Since Professor Lin Wu came to make trouble and threaten to leave, he just had to do him a little favor.
There were some matters that everyone was aware of.
Everything was now depending on Lin Mumu.
