The two teachers, who were surrounded in the middle, couldn’t help but show full-faced embarrassnt at the crowd’s remarks.
"I already told you to focus on the class, isn’t that enough?" Yuan Tiangang said helplessly.
"Forget about class, we want our money back!" those people said decisively.
Yuan Tiangang’s face was the embodint of embarrassnt as he whispered, "Refunding is impossible, we don’t have any money left here..."
"What did you say?" one of the boys said urgently, "Where is the money we paid?"
Yuan Tiangang said, "Teacher Wu and I went out to sketch, and of course, we needed travel expenses..."
"You used our tuition to cover your travel expenses for sketching?" Everyone was nearly insane, these two bastards were just too shaless.
The two teachers, however, remained calm, as if it were all very common and completely ignored everyone’s anger.
From a distance, Su Yang watched with a speechless expression, finding the two teachers quite interesting; indeed, they seed capable of doing anything.
"Su Yang, should I drive them out?" Zhao Jun whispered from the side.
Su Yang hesitated for a mont but eventually shook his head.
His main purpose for organizing the evening party was because he learned from Zhao Jun that this party was a chance to connect with the school’s upper echelon. Su Yang did not understand why a party would offer access to the school’s top level, but he really wanted to discover the school’s secrets, which is why he went to such lengths to organize the event.
Although Su Yang was at a loss for words about the two swindlers, if they had been able to scam in this school for so many years, they probably had so skills. At least, the school’s upper echelon had not driven these two swindlers away, indicating that they had a certain status in the school.
Besides, having been in the school for who knows how many years, these two teachers undoubtedly knew many of its secrets. Perhaps Su Yang could learn sothing from them in the future.
With that thought, Su Yang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone, let’s not get agitated. Teacher Wu and Teacher Yuan, after all, are school teachers. We should be happy they attended the party, there’s no need for unpleasantness. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll pay back the tuition fees Teacher Wu and Teacher Yuan owe you, and we can consider the matter resolved. How does that sound?"
Everyone looked at each other, realizing that the money wasn’t the key issue, but rather it was hard to swallow their pride. Now that Su Yang personally stepped in, it also gave everyone significant face, so why would they pursue the matter further?
"Since Brother Su said so, we’ll give face to Brother Su, and let the matter drop!" a boy with a quick-witted head imdiately said.
"Right, others may not be effective, but when Brother Su speaks, it certainly is."
"Out of respect for Brother Su, we don’t need the money!"
The crowd chid in one after another, most of them not having taken classes with these two, but at this mont, all wanted to show their faces in front of Su Yang.
Su Yang smiled faintly, asking the crowd to disperse and personally approached the two teachers, saying with a smile, "Teachers, since you’re here, don’t mind these small matters. There’s nothing special tonight, so make sure you have fun at the party!"
Wu Daozi nodded in satisfaction, "You, student, not bad, not bad, quite talented. How about this, you pay for four years of electives tomorrow and start learning painting with , I will pass on my techniques to you!"
Yuan Tiangang, also acting haughty, nodded and said, "Four years of electives aren’t enough. You should know, philosophy is not sothing you can learn in just a few years. You’d better do a masters, then a PhD, perhaps even a postdoc. Here’s what we’ll do, you pay for ten years of electives at once, and I guarantee you’ll learn, how about it?"
Wu Daozi was first taken aback, then imdiately nodded as if a chick pecking at grains, "Right, right, right, painting is sothing that takes at least ten years to lay a foundation, many people study it for a lifeti. So, I think you might as well pay for ten years of electives first and then start learning with !"
Standing by, Su Yang watched the two n with an amused smile. The pair were playing off each other, treating him like an easy mark. They were demanding years of elective fees up front, seemingly planning to take a hefty cut from him.
However, Su Yang did not point it out directly, simply smiling faintly, "Let’s talk about the electives later. Since you two teachers have co to my party tonight, just enjoy yourselves here and we can discuss this matter in detail tomorrow, alright?"
The two exchanged glances, and Wu Daozi, who kept eyeing the food behind them, simply nodded, "That would be fine, that would be fine..."
Yuan Tiangang, face flush with anger, said, "You child, so unappreciative. Do you think Elder Wu and I take any apprentices lightly? We considered you because we saw exceptional talent in you, capable of greatness, that’s why we’d condescend to teach you. And here you are, hesitating and resisting. Do you really think we need to take you on that badly? Hmph, seeing your lack of gratitude, let’s pretend we never ca. Old Wu, let’s go!"
Yuan Tiangang said so and made to leave, sweeping his sleeve. But in reality, from the corner of his eye, he was discreetly observing Su Yang, clearly wanting to see if Su Yang would stop him.
Su Yang smiled faintly; he could see clearly with the Soul Searching Technique that the old man was just bluffing to intimidate him into requesting them to stay.
Just now, Su Yang had spoken up to save the two, leading them to mistake him for regarding them as important figures, which was why they were so pompous in front of him. Little did they know, Su Yang was rely curious about their position in the school, which was why he had stepped in to help them out of their predicant. As for whatever knowledge or skills they claid to possess, Su Yang could not have cared less.
Therefore, of course, Su Yang had no intention of keeping them, simply watching with an anticipatory smile, as if he were looking forward to them leaving.
Yuan Tiangang’s intention was rely to scare Su Yang into thinking the opportunity to be his disciple was rare, and to extract a sizeable elective fee from him. However, Su Yang didn’t respond at all, leaving him in an awkward position. Standing at the door, his face was flushed with embarrassnt; he wanted to return, but how could he turn back now? Without Su Yang’s plea, the situation was incredibly embarrassing!
Watching Yuan Tiangang’s reddening face, Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "Teacher Yuan, you’re leaving? Oh, why the rush? Shall I have soone escort you?"
Yuan Tiangang almost spat blood. Not only did you not stop , but now you also want to send soone to see off? Are you afraid I won’t leave?
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Tiangang turned back and said coldly, "You’re in such a hurry to see go, you must have so sche in mind, now I don’t want to leave. Old Wu, since we’re here, let’s not be polite with this youngster. He may not respect teachers and morals, but we must respect ourselves. Co, let’s have so food first!"
