Qu Liuxi still didn"t show any signs of emotion. After so many years of interacting with An Ying, the latter had already given her too much of an impact.
In the past, she was a little girl who only dared not express her views. Her master Madman Qu had disguised her as a dirty boy in order to protect her so that she could safely survive in a place like the Great Illusory Land.
But now, she was no longer Qu Liu"er, who had long lived in the city, but rather Qu Liu Xi, a cultivator.
""Fight or not?""
Someone at the side jeered, ""Four grown men, are you scared of a little girl just like that?""
""It"s still a LV 4 student, and he was so scared by a LV 1 girl that he didn"t dare to make a move. This is f * cking embarra.s.sing.""
""If I find a hole in the ground myself, I won"t come out for the rest of my life.""
""This is the shame of my life.""
As the mocking voices grew louder, Du Shangcheng finally went into a rage.
He knew that he was no match for Qu Liuxi. He had paid a heavy price for underestimating her opponent. What he had lost was not just a compet.i.tion, but also face.
Qu Liuxi"s words caused the furious Du Shangcheng to suddenly calm down. He looked at the girl who had humiliated him just now with disbelief.
""Face your opponents. Whether they are men or women, you will all be joining the army in the future. Shouldn"t the military take every battle seriously?""
If you underestimate a woman because your opponent is a woman, then you are an unqualified soldier.
""If you lose your mind because of the instigation and ridicule of others, you don"t even have the qualifications to be a soldier.""
These few words were like heavy hammers pounding on Du Shangcheng"s heart. They were even heavier than the slaps Qu Liuxi gave him.
He suddenly felt that he had lost. Completely and utterly lost.
""I won"t call again.""
Du Shangcheng, who was about to make his move again, suddenly stopped and raised his b.l.o.o.d.y face: ""I"ve lost, I"ve lost.""
She was right. If I didn"t even have the courage to face my opponent, then I wouldn"t deserve to be a soldier in the future.
""I"m not as good as her, if I can"t beat her then I can"t.""
After saying that, he turned his head and retreated to the side, ""If you are willing to fight, you three can fight.""
The other three looked at each other, feeling that this was a necessary fight that could not be fought.
First of all, they couldn"t win.
Second, even if they won, they would lose face.
It wasn"t fair to fight one out of four.
""You"re right.""
One of the LV 4 students said to Qu Liuxi, ""Something went wrong with our att.i.tude. We shouldn"t look down on you just because you"re a girl.""
However, I feel that we should still continue fighting. Even if we lose, we have to continue fighting. Giving up without fighting isn"t something a soldier should do.
""If I lose, I will accept it.""
The other two nodded, ""Fight one by one!""
The three of them took turns to fight, but all of them were defeated by Qu Liuxi in an extremely short period of time.
Of course, Qu Liuxi wouldn"t give in just because they had awoken. The match was just a compet.i.tion, enough to stop at the last minute.
The three of them were all defeated. Zhang Tie"s instructor Zhang Tong"s expression was as unsightly as if he had just eaten a few living flies.
He didn"t expect such a result. His disciple had lost so badly in front of a girl.
As a lecturer, he had lost too.
""Hmph!""
Zhang Tong grunted, stood up and clasped his hands at Chang Huan, ""Vice Princ.i.p.al, I"m not feeling well, so I"ll be going back first.""
Chang Huan replied with an ""Oh"" without raising her head.
Just as Zhang Tong was about to leave, An Zhe suddenly stepped over, ""Just now, Mr. Zhang said that whether you are a student or a teacher, you must abide by the rules of the school.
""I remember that the rules of the academy don"t contain any rules stating that this disciple cannot challenge Mister, right?""
He cupped his fist and said, ""I wish to seek your guidance, sir.""
Zhang Tong was stunned, then he shouted, ""Aren"t you overestimating yourself?!""
Do you really think that I don"t dare to touch you just because you are someone the soldiers care about?
As a lecturer, I have every reason to teach you about rules! ""
An Zhan said calmly, ""Then I"ll have to ask Mister to teach me.""
Zhang Tong turned around and looked at Chang Huan. The latter was talking to the other instructors, as if he hadn"t seen what was happening in front of him.
The gentlemen were obviously embarra.s.sed and did not know what to do.
After a few seconds, Chang Huan seemed to have just reacted. She looked towards An Zaihai and cleared her throat, ""An Zeng, although the academy doesn"t have a rule that students are not allowed to challenge the instructor, Mister is Mister, and disciple is Disciple.""
""I think this matter will end here. I don"t want anyone to say that my disciple is disrespectful to the other teachers in the Martial Arts Academy.""
An Zaiyue responded with an ""oh"": ""Then it"s not in the Martial Arts Academy anymore.""
He walked outside. ""I wonder if Mr. Zhang is willing to move.""
Zhang Datong stood there, feeling that he was even more embarra.s.sed than Du Shangcheng and the others.
Duchamp They had all their dignity suppressed by a girl.
At the same time, An Zeng was challenging him as a first-grade student, so he didn"t put him in his eyes at all.
The choice he now faced was the same as that of Duchamp.
Fight?
If news of him accepting a challenge from a grade-1 student as a teacher were to spread, many would mock him.
But he did not even turn his head, not even giving him a chance to step down.
A student who had always been in a good mood pulled An Zhe along, ""Forget it, isn"t it good that this matter ends here?""
If you allow a lecturer to step down from his tutelage like that, how will you get along with him in the future? ""
""When he humiliated a girl as a gentleman, he was at least unworthy to be a gentleman in my heart.""
Xiao Li"er is one of my people. She can vent her anger on her own, but that"s not the end of it. ""
This sentence completely infuriated Zhang Tong, ""I"d like to see what kind of conflicts there are between people who are not afraid of the heavens or the earth.""
""If you don"t know the immensity of heaven and earth, let"s see how arrogant you can be.""
An Zhe didn"t even bother with him as he strode out of the Martial Arts Academy.
Chang Huan stood up and said, ""Forget it, forget it. Don"t go outside the Martial Arts Academy.""
How disgraceful would it be for people outside the academy to see students and teachers fighting?
""The reputation of the Martial Arts Academy will be affected by you guys. You guys better keep it in mind … Remember this. No matter who wins or loses, you"re not allowed to tell anyone about this!""
The surrounding people shouted as well. They were actually looking forward to the fight between An Zhan and Zhang Tong to see who could defeat who.
One of them was the strongest student among the first grade students, while the other was the senior teacher who had brought the students to the fourth grade. No one had dared to fight this fight since the establishment of the academy.
At this time, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy slowly walked over with an ashen face.
Chang Huan and the other teachers quickly stood up, and the surrounding students made way as well.
""What"s going on?""
Yan Jiujue asked with a cold face.
Zhang Tong said, ""A student who doesn"t know the rules wants to challenge me … I told you, the Martial Arts Academy can"t accept female disciples.""
Yet, for the sake of a female student, there was actually someone who dared to challenge a teacher.
""In the future, because of these girls, the martial arts academy will be in a mess.""
Yan Gui looked at An Zhe then looked at Qu Liuxi. ""You mean, An Zhe challenged you for Qu Liuxi"s sake?""
Zhang Tong said, ""I absolutely cannot let such a female student remain in the Martial Arts Academy.""
""Women should always stay at home and show their faces. How can this be?!""
Chang Xiao laughed, ""I wonder what the consequences will be if your words enter the brocade palace.""
Zhang Tong coughed a few times. ""Of course, we can"t compare the empress dowager to these female students.""
This … The empress dowager is the empress dowager and the female students are all female students, of course it"s different.
This … If you say it like that, it would be far-fetched. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
""If the empress dowager heard, she wouldn"t be too happy.""
Chang Huan: ""Oh … then I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to enlighten me. What"s the difference?""
Zhang Tong opened his mouth and then turned his head away, not looking at Chang Huan.
His tone was reserved as he stared at Chang Huan. He then looked towards An Zhan and asked, ""Do you think that all the teachers in the Martial Arts Academy are not worthy of your respect?""
""I respect anyone who is worthy of respect,"" he replied.
Why should I respect anyone who is not worthy of respect?
Respect a person does not need to look at his ident.i.ty, the street peddler, if the moral integrity, then it is worthy of respect.
Some people with high statuses were not necessarily worthy of respect.
""Whether a person is worthy of respect or not, students don"t think that it has anything to do with his ident.i.ty. It doesn"t matter whether he is a teacher of the academy or a student, it"s all the same.""
""When a person doesn"t know how to respect others, he or she should understand that others don"t necessarily respect him or her.""
Zhang Tong sneered, ""As a teacher, why should I respect a student like you?""
An Zeng sighed, ""Teaching people can also destroy them.""
""The two of you want to fight, go to the school field to fight.""
With a cold and reserved tone, he said, ""However, if you fight like this without taking into account the prestige of the Martial Arts Academy, then there is no need for the Martial Arts Academy to care about your dignity.""
If you want to fight, then fight.
""However, there"s only one rule. Regardless of whether it"s the teachers or students, the one who lost will immediately leave the academy and pack his own things.""
After saying that, he turned around and left: ""No one is allowed to watch.""
Before long, at least a few dozen of the academy"s inspector officers ran over, dispersing the onlookers.
Then we"ll isolate them from the field, and keep no one near.
An Zhan and Zhang Ye walked towards the drill grounds together. The former looked relaxed, while the latter looked unsightly.
Gu Qianye shouted from behind An Zaiyue, ""Be careful!""
An Zeng turned around and smiled. ""Who are you talking to?""
Gu Qianye grunted and dragged Qu Liuxi to a pavilion at the side.
Thin Du climbed up the rockery in twos and threes and stood on top of it, looking towards the school field.
After a while someone asked him from under the rockery, ""Can you see?""
Du didn"t look down to see who was asking. He stared at the school field and replied: ""I can vaguely see it, but the two people"s movements are too fast, so I can"t see it clearly.""
He was afraid that this fight would continue for a while. He didn"t know if An Zaiyue would win or not.
""After all, he is a lecturer at the Martial Arts Academy. How can he be a lecturer without some real ability?""
The person below acknowledged, ""Let"s continue watching.""
After a while, the person asked again, ""How is it?""
Du looked in that direction with his thin feet on his back. ""It"s like we"ve won the compet.i.tion.""
""It"s like pulling Mr. Zhang"s ankle and throwing him to the ground. Aiya, it"s so terrible … One hit, two times, three times … Even dirt has appeared on the ground.""
""Aiya, Mr. Zhang was thrown dozens of meters away.""
Before he landed, he was clawed back by An Zhe, who grabbed his ankle and began to fall again.
""One, two, three... I am relieved.""
When he saw that victory was right in front of him, the worry in his heart dissipated without a trace.
He looked at it for a moment longer, then said, ""It"s over.
""I estimate that the teacher will have to lie on the school field for a while before he can get up. Even from afar, he won"t be able to clearly see how he"s been beaten up.""
""It"s good as long as you win.""
He stood up and walked away.
The skinny Du subconsciously looked down and felt that the back of that person was somewhat familiar. After that, he realized that it was actually Chang Huan …
