Chapter 119: You’re Just Annoying!
Bai Di said to Meng Li, “You can come to cla.s.ses, but there are two prerequisites.”
“Tell me. I can do anything!”
“The cla.s.ses aren’t free. One work point per cla.s.s. That’s a reasonable price, right?”
Meng Li nodded. “It makes sense!”
It was more than reasonable. It was especially cheap!
!!
Which one of the literate old fellows in beast cities didn’t treasure their knowledge like it was a peerless treasure? They were afraid that others would learn even a little of it!
To be able to learn precious knowledge with just one work point was simply a blessing in disguise for ordinary beasts like them!
Bai Di continued, “Huanhuan plans to start teaching cla.s.ses. She’ll take in many students in the future, but she’s only one person. Her energy is limited, so she has to set a threshold. The beasts have to pa.s.s a test and confirm that they’re qualified before they can officially enter the school. That’s the second condition.”
Meng Li hesitated. “Will this test be difficult?”
“It won’t be difficult. We’ll just test the beasts’ learning ability. We’ll only keep those who are good at learning. We won’t keep those who aren’t.”
Meng Li weighed the pros and cons and asked tentatively, “You just said that you’ll take in many students. Can the cubs of our wild horse tribe come to the cla.s.ses?”
“As long as you have enough work points and can pa.s.s the entrance exam, you can come to the cla.s.ses.”
Meng Li’s eyes lit up. He clapped happily and smiled. “Good, good! This is great!”
He was overjoyed and quickly ran back to inform the other beasts of the wild horse tribe of the good news.
Meng Li left, leaving only Jiu Yuan.
Under the gaze of Huanhuan and her three male mates, the 1.9-meter-tall beast was a little embarra.s.sed. He scratched his head and explained his intentions in embarra.s.sment.
“I heard that Huanhuan was teaching, so I wanted to ask if I could send those brats of mine over for lessons.”
Afraid that Huanhuan would be put in a difficult position, he quickly added, “We’ll pay with work points! Also, my little brats will take the exam obediently. If they can’t pa.s.s the exam, don’t worry about them. But if they can pa.s.s the exam, can you accept them?”
Huanhuan smiled and said, “Of course.”
Jiu Yuan smiled happily. “Thank you!”
“Don’t you need to discuss this with Mu Xiang first?”
“Mu Xiang was the one who asked me to ask you.”
Huanhuan was a little puzzled. “Why didn’t Mu Xiang ask me herself?”
“She’s afraid you’ll be troubled.”
Huanhuan smiled. “What’s there to be embarra.s.sed about? If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly. I’ll do my best.”
“You’re such a good person. No wonder Mu Xiang has always trusted you!”
Huanhuan, who had been labeled as a good person, was a little embarra.s.sed. She coughed lightly. “Is there anything else?”
“No, I’ll go back and tell Mu Xiang the news now. Continue with your cla.s.s. Goodbye!”
After watching Jiu Yuan leave, she slowly looked at Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye. She placed her hands on her hips and asked, “Who came up with the idea of the test?”
The three of them were silent for a moment. Finally, Bai Di said, “It’s me.”
Huanhuan’s face said, “As expected.”
“I knew it was you. Of the three of you, you have the most ideas.”
Bai Di smiled gently. “Do you like the idea?”
“Is it of any use even if I don’t like it? In any case, you didn’t even ask for my opinion before you made your decision.” Huanhuan snorted and deliberately looked angry.
Shuang Yun immediately shouted, “Bai Di told me not to tell you. It has nothing to do with me!”
Huanhuan looked at him with disdain. “You’re not a good person to betray your friend.”
Sang Ye looked at her. “These are all small matters. The three of us can handle them. We don’t want you to worry too much.”
Huanhuan hugged his arm and said to Shuang Yun, “See? This is the most pleasing answer. Learn from him!”
Shuang Yun was furious. “You’re just biased toward Sang Ye!”
“It can’t be helped. Sang Ye is just too lovable.”
“Am I not lovable?!”
“You.” Huanhuan poked his chest with a soft finger. “You’re annoying!”
Shuang Yun’s anger instantly dissipated. His eyes were almost fixed on Huanhuan.
Bai Di smiled. “When’s cla.s.s, Teacher?”
Huanhuan felt a little guilty from his smile. She quickly let go of Sang Ye’s arm and said pretentiously, “Cla.s.s starts now. Sit down. Don’t talk about topics that have nothing to do with cla.s.s.”
…
Early the next morning, Meng Li and Jiu Yuan brought the cubs to look for Huanhuan.
Meng Li did not bring out many wild horses this time. A few of them had died on the way. There were only five left. Meng Li took good care of them and had high hopes for them.
Huanhuan treated them equally. After asking a few questions, she more or less knew what to do.
She chose two of the young ones from the wild horse tribe and three of Jiu Yuan’s cubs.
“Just the five of you for now. The other children can go back.”
The cubs who were chosen were very happy. Those who were not chosen looked disappointed.
Huanhuan couldn’t bear it. She said gently, “If you’re very interested in learning, you can come to future cla.s.ses. As for how much you can learn, that depends on your own ability.”
Upon hearing this, hope reignited in the cubs who had failed to be chosen.
Someone braced himself and asked, “Then if we learn well in the future, can you accept us as your students?”
Huanhuan nodded. “Of course.”
She paused and looked around at the crowd. “I’ll hold exams regularly. If you don’t pa.s.s, you might be expelled. As for those cubs who don’t go to school, you can make an application if you pa.s.s two exams in a row. I’ll consider it.”
This was equivalent to every cub having a chance to go to school. While they were happy, they were also filled with fighting spirit.
Meng Li also successfully pa.s.sed Huanhuan’s entrance examination and successfully became the oldest student in the cla.s.s.
Every time he went to cla.s.s, he listened especially carefully. He wished he could engrave every word Huanhuan said into his mind.
Unfortunately, he was still too old. Be it his energy or memory, he was far inferior to the young beasts.
Even though he tried his best, it was still difficult for him to learn.
10 days later, Meng Li applied to withdraw from school.
Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why? Is it because I’m not teaching well?”
“You’ve taught me well, but I know my place. I’m no longer fit to study at my age. I want to drop out and give up my position to other young beasts. They have a better future than me.”
Huanhuan was helpless. “Alright, I respect your decision.”
