Chapter 112: Acknowledging a Master

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“Principal, what do you think is the problem with my two brothers’ answers?” Xu Qing asked directly.

“Of course there’s a problem! They only think about themselves and don’t consider becoming someone who contributes to society and the country.” The principal frowned. Could it be that she had called him out just to ask this? If they really answered well, would their school reject talents? Did this little girl think that he was old and stupid?

“Principal, I think my two brothers answered the question very well.” Xu Qing looked straight at the principal.

Uncle Lei narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that this little girl would make Guan Wanli suffer.

“You’re too ignorant!” Guan Wanli was enraged and was about to leave. He didn’t want to hear what this little girl said. It was a waste of his time.

The man behind him was also trembling with fear. What was this little girl talking about? She actually dared to question their principal! If he had known earlier, he would not have helped her! If the principal settled the score with him later, he would lose his job!

Xu Qing said unhurriedly, “If a man can’t even protect his home, what else can you expect him to do? Protect the country? Isn’t that a pipe dream?”

Xu Qing’s words shocked the three people present at the same time. They agreed with this! Moreover, it was the truth!

“Well said!” Uncle Lei immediately laughed out loud. He knew this little girl would not disappoint him. She was as sharp-tongued as ever!

Guan Wanli glanced at his gloating friend and was furious. This old man was here to watch the drama! He was silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Huai and asked, “What did you want to say just now?”

Xu Huai looked at the principal stubbornly. He did want to say something similar to what his sister said just now, but he was interrupted by Principal Guan. At that time, when Principal Guan heard that he only wanted to study in order to protect his family, he said that he was selfish and only cared about himself. He was unwilling to listen to him anymore and told the teacher that they were dismissed…

Xu Qing looked at Principal Guan coldly. She knew it. Her two younger brothers were so smart. How could they fail the entrance examination?

Principal Guan coughed awkwardly. “In that case, go back and prepare. Come to school tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Principal,” Xu Qing and the other two said at the same time.

Honglu School was very famous, and there were countless talents there. Xu Qing felt that there must be some benefits to attending this school. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let her two younger brothers come to school here.

“I was just about to say that if you won’t accept them, I’ll take these two little boys in as my disciples and teach them myself!” Uncle Lei said with a smile.

Guan Wanli wanted to roll his eyes. He knew that his friend had done it on purpose. His friend would never accept another disciple after that incident… Sigh, what a pity.

“Shut up. At your age, who do you want to teach?” Guan Wanli retorted bluntly.

“Who said that I can’t teach people just because I’m old? Then let me show you. I’ll take this little girl in as my disciple now.” Uncle Lei pointed at Xu Qing. He didn’t look like he was joking.

Xu Qing was instantly flattered. She wasn’t stupid. Uncle Lei must be a respected senior, but she really didn’t want to study anymore! She smiled awkwardly and said, “Uncle Lei, you flatter me. I’m just a farm girl and I have three children at home. Forget it.”

“You’re actually despising me?” Uncle Lei’s eyes widened.

Xu Qing was amused. This old man had a strange way of thinking. She pushed her two brothers out and said, “You should take my two brothers in. I don’t mind them learning more.”

Guan Wanli was furious. What kind of family was this? They were too greedy. Not only did they want to enter his school, but they also wanted to acknowledge Uncle Lei as their mentor!

“Mentor, please accept my bow.” When Xu Huai and Xu Zhi saw their sister’s signal, they knelt down.

Uncle Lei was a little embarrassed. He just felt that Xu Qing was quite smart, so if he nurtured her well, she would definitely obtain some achievements. Of course, he simply wanted to find something to do and didn’t plan to officially take in a disciple! But now… he might as well take her in.

Guan Wanli was shocked! This method worked? If those aristocratic children used this method in the previous years, Uncle Lei would have way too many discipes to count!

Xu Qing knew from Mr. Guan’s expression that she had made the right decision. It seemed like she had to prepare an official gift for her brothers to give to Uncle Lei.

Because Honglu School could provide accommodation, Xu Qing decided to let them stay there for safety and time. Anyway, they had holiday breaks, so she wasn’t afraid that she wouldn’t get to see them…
