I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad? Chapter 274: The Moon Wanes When Full; Water Overflows When

The Crown Prince had been pulled away, and even the dimst students understood: Teacher Song believed the Crown Prince would lose, and the consequences would be severe.

In contrast, both Teacher Zhang and Ye Qianning were perfectly calm. They weren’t afraid of being challenged to a competition on the spot. The ones who were afraid were their accusers. It was the ultimate slap in the face.

"All students who voiced their doubts today will go to the Ancestor Hall and kneel. You may not return to your lessons until you have copied the Disciple’s Rules five hundred tis." Teacher Zhang announced, his gaze sweeping over the students before landing on the one on the ground, who looked so terrified he was about to faint. "If you remain unconvinced, you are welco to compete in public as well."

"I... I..." The student’s vision went dark, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Teacher Zhang shook his head. "Send him back to his family’s estate. As of now, he is expelled from the academy."

"Yes, Teacher." The academy guards stepped forward and carried the student away.

The students quickly dispersed as well.

Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. A match between the Crown Prince and the little fatty would have been a ss to clean up, regardless of who won. Fortunately, Teacher Song had put a stop to it.

Only then did Qian Zhuye find his voice. "I have never seen such a bizarre scene. Was that even the sa Teacher Song I’ve t before?"

"How many tis have you even t him?" Ye Qianning said.

"It doesn’t matter how many tis! Teacher Song broke a whole pile of the Disciple’s Rules. Isn’t that sothing else?"

Ye Qianning just smiled faintly without a word. ’Compared to the Disciple’s Rules, Sang Qi’s future is obviously more important. For Teacher Song to go this far for him, he truly is a good ntor.’

’I just hope Sang Qi can understand his intentions.’

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d have thought Teacher Song was possessed," Teacher Zhang remarked, still finding the whole thing very strange.

"His pride was wounded, so he’s shut himself off," Qian Fanji said coolly.

"How was his pride wounded?"

"Heh," Qian Fanji chuckled, offering no explanation.

Teacher Zhang’s curiosity was piqued. "Out with it. What are you laughing at?"

"The moon wanes when it is full; water overflows when it is filled."

Teacher Zhang mulled over the words. Teacher Song was indeed quite arrogant. ’Looks like soone really took him down a peg or two...’

"Uncle, what does that an?" Qian Zhuye asked curiously.

Qian Fanji glanced down. "If you fail the next monthly exam, the armory will be locked."

"No, don’t! This ti was a fluke! Next ti... I guarantee I’ll pass next ti!"

"A fluke? You call spending all your ti with her copying the Disciple’s Rules a fluke?" Qian Fanji asked.

The mont he heard this, Qian Zhuye instinctively moved to stand in front of Ye Qianning. "Uncle, you know my heart isn’t in literary studies. I prefer the martial path."

Ye Qianning could read between the lines. ’He’s just trying to say I’m a bad influence on Qian Zhuye, isn’t he?’

Qian Fanji’s eyes fell on the two of them standing together—one large, one small—and he froze for a split second. Recovering, he said calmly, "Literary studies are just as important for a military man. No more slacking off."

"Yes, Uncle."

"Look at this, a commotion that’s lasted all morning. It’s nearly ti for lunch. Rest well during the break, so you’ll have the energy for your afternoon lessons." Teacher Zhang gestured for everyone to disperse.

"Yes, Teacher."

Sang Zhi and Qian Fanji both bowed in acknowledgnt.

Before he left, Teacher Zhang glanced one more ti at Ye Qianning, chuckling and stroking his beard as he walked off.

Qian Fanji looked as if he wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he left without a word.

"My uncle’s acting a little weird today." Qian Zhuye raised a hand to scratch the back of his head.

"Has your uncle ever acted ’normal’?" Ye Qianning retorted, staring at that fox’s retreating back. ’Of my father’s group of four, Qian Fanji is the most unfathomable, completely impossible to read. The only one who cos close is Gu Shuo.’

"I know, right? I actually saw Uncle smile just now. That’s not just weird, it’s *really* weird."

Ye Qianning: "..."

’We are not on the sa wavelength at all!’

"Co on, let’s go get sothing to eat." Ye Qianning couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
