Chapter 370:1 Am Very Confident

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The children looked at Xia Yue, who was squatting on the ground. He was only seven years old, and his face was filled with self-blame.

“If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t stand their provocation and agreed to this gathering on impulse, you wouldn’t have been implicated by me and gotten involved in this mess. In the end, it might damage the reputation of our academy and made Sir suffer humiliation.”

“How can you be blamed for this?” Yi Junkun was the oldest person here after all, and he acted like a big brother. “You fell into a trap to protect our Little Junior Sister. We can only blame Dongyi Academy for being too despicable.”

Dongyi Academy was deliberately trying to tarnish Qin Anning’s reputation in front of the impulsive Xia Yue. Qin Anning had a volatile personality and would rush out in less than 15 minutes of silence to play until she was drenched in sweat. Her personality was more like a boy’s.

They said that she was a country bumpkin and did not have the temperament of a lady from a wealthy family.

At the same time, they questioned that if Master Qin could not even teach his daughter well, how could he bring up a knowledgeable and qualified student? When Xia Yue heard them continuously insult his junior sister and teacher, how could he endure it?

In the end, there was this scholarly exchange gathering, but it was actually just a competition between students under the age of ten from the two schools.

Xia Yue blamed himself, but the others felt that he had not done anything wrong. They all comforted him not to think too much.

Gu Yunshu patted him on the shoulder and said, “At that time, any man would agree.”

What man? You’re just a six-year-old kid. Don’t say such things.

Yi Junkun pulled Xia Yue up. “Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. The competition will start soon. Let’s go through the process again.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yunshu.

The latter blinked. Why was this guy looking at him? He was very confident.

Yi Junkun coughed lightly. He held a piece of paper in his hand and said, “There will be three matches this time. For the first round, we will set the question and name the candidate from the other side. We will let Liu Yi take the lead and compete in chess.”

Liu Yi’s chess skills were very good. Even the teacher said that he was calm at such a young age and was neither arrogant nor rash. Those who had studied chess for more than ten years were probably not his match.

Therefore, even though Liu Yi was only seven years old, it was most suitable for him to go on stage. After all, the other party’s students were not even ten years old. Furthermore, they were the ones who designated the participant, so the chances of winning were very high.

“Let’s have a good start in the first round. The second round will be difficult. The other party will set the question and the participating student on our side.”

Everyone turned to look at Gu Yunshu.

Gu Yunshu felt a chill run down his spine. “Why are you looking at me?”

Yi Junkun said, “The other party will most likely point at you in the second round. We don’t know what question they set. Yunshu, if it’s too difficult, just give up. Actually, it’s not embarrassing. You’ve only studied for half a year. They were bullying you in the first place. If you lose this round, we still have the third round. So, don’t feel too pressured and don’t be affected by them. We have to have a strong heart. We can’t be unable to recover from this setback, understand?”

Yi Junkun did not fully explain the matter. The Dongyi Academy had paid a lot of attention to Gu Yunshu because of what happened to his elder sister last time. Yi Junkun was afraid that when he lost, they might say some nasty words to avenge their teacher’s humiliation.

However, Gu Yunshu was still young. When the time came, he would be dealt a huge blow.. What if he got tired of studying?
