Chapter 202 Maintenance
Although Xu Mingsheng's words and actions were exaggerated and somewhat inappropriate, if he was willing to admit his mistakes, it was not serious enough to require him to be expelled from the academy. Therefore, Shen Qingyu's reluctance to give in seemed a bit overbearing.
"Shen Ziqing, this is our Yunlu Lin'an Academy's business, it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere!"
"That's right, Senior Brother Xu has already admitted his mistake, what else do you want?"
Xu Mingsheng was quick to accept advice and admit his mistakes in a timely manner. In addition, he was a kind-hearted person and had helped many students in the academy. Soon, those students who had received his help began to protect Xu Mingsheng.
Shen Qingyu was isolated and helpless, standing among the students of Yunlu Academy, his thin body trembling slightly. Xu Mingsheng was so insidious and cunning.
"Ziqing."
Suddenly, a soft call was heard from the door of the lecture hall. The call was like rippling green water, extremely faint, yet clear and moving.
So, all the students who were denouncing Shen Qingyu for being aggressive towards Xu Mingsheng fell silent and looked towards the door of the lecture hall. Even Master Du and Master Huo were surprised and stunned. Did something big happen in Yunlu Academy? How come this person who was least likely to appear in the lecture hall actually showed up?
It’s Senior Brother Nan Rong!
It turned out to be the rumored Senior Brother Nan Rong!
Some new students from Yunlu Academy present were excited. Senior Brother Nanrong was proficient in Qimen Dunjia, talented, and good at painting. He was a genius of the time.
"Teacher." Young Master Nanrong, dressed in white, stood at the door and bowed slightly, followed by the servant Ming Liu, who was running out of breath.
Master Du and Master Huo returned the greeting immediately.
This scene not only shocked all the students present, but also astounded them. It was natural for a disciple to pay respect to the master, but the master returned the respect with the same solemn courtesy. What did that show? It showed that in the hearts of the two masters, Senior Brother Nan Rong was no longer just a disciple, but could be on equal footing with the masters.
Who else in the entire Yunlu Academy has such an honor except Senior Brother Nanrong? Thinking of this, these students became more respectful to Master Nanrong and bowed, "Senior Brother Nanrong."
With his handsome and elegant features, the pure white silk crown and belt slowly walked into the lecture hall with Master Nanrong, and from time to time it would stick to his handsome face, making him look even more elegant and ethereal.
His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his expression was cold and aloof, like a banished immortal from the nine heavens. People dared not blaspheme him, nor get close to him even a step.
"If Xu Mingsheng wants to stay, then you can go." It was just a faint voice, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Nan Rong walked calmly and with extraordinary bearing. Every step he took made everyone in the lecture hall feel oppressed. Some timid students were so scared when they saw Senior Brother Nan Rong, who was rumored to be as high and mighty as a banished immortal, that they hardly dared to look up.
In this world, there is a kind of person whose existence, even without saying a word, can still intimidate others, and the light radiating from him seems to shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, making it difficult for people not to notice him.
Wearing a white robe and a pure white cloak, with a precious jade ring with tassels tied under a brocade belt, Master Nan Rong walked slowly and steadily, with an innate nobility emanating from his whole body, just like his words, which were awe-inspiring without being angry and he kept his word.
The students who were protecting Xu Mingsheng and targeting Shen Qingyu were so frightened that they froze there. They must have heard it right, that Senior Brother Nan Rong wanted to drive them away just for a greenhorn who came from nowhere.
What kind of relationship does Shen Ziqing have with Senior Brother Nan Rong that could make Senior Brother Nan Rong, who never steps into the lecture hall, make an exception for her and even start to protect her without asking why.
Not only were the students present full of doubts, but even Master Du and Master Huo were puzzled and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Zi Yu, just do it for the teacher's sake..." Master Du just opened his mouth to plead for Xu Mingsheng, but was given an indifferent look by Master Nanrong, and fell silent.
Although he is the president of Yunlu Academy, Yunlu Academy is a place to train and recommend talents for the court, and it is also a place for those prominent families to secretly recruit talents. Since ancient times, money and power are inseparable. Any prominent family with a solid foundation will inevitably place their own people in the court. The opening of Yunlu Academy was dependent on the Nanrong family and used by the Nanrong family from the beginning.
If it weren't for the Nanrong family's support behind the scenes, the huge daily expenditure of the academy alone would have dragged the academy down. As for the repairs of the academy and the rare ancient books in the library, each of them was a huge expense. If it were an ordinary family, they would not be able to support the Yunlu Academy, which is well-known in Jiangnan. Even the wealthy Shen family does not have this ability, let alone control the Yunlu Academy with so many talented people.
This secret is only known by the dean of Yunlu Academy. That is why Master Du is so confident and not afraid of Master Huo coming to snatch his position as dean. Because, no matter what, in the end, the Nanrong family will give the position of dean to the person they trust the most.
Master Du is the president of Yunlu Academy appointed by old master Nanrong, but the Nanrong family never interferes with the daily operation of the academy. The relationship between the academy and the Nanrong family has always been a special one. The Nanrong family strongly supports Yunlu Academy. Every time the imperial examination comes, if the students chosen by the Nanrong family are loyal to the Nanrong family, the Nanrong family will surely help them to rise in their official career. This is why the Nanrong family has been able to maintain its position in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, because whether it is in the court or in officials of various states and counties, many people come from Yunlu Academy. When they return home in glory, the first thing they do is to visit the Nanrong family, and then come to Yunlu Academy to thank their teacher.
If the relationship between the Nanrong family and Yunlu Academy was discovered by someone who intended to harm the Nanrong family and then reported it to the court, the Nanrong family would be charged with a crime that would be enough to exterminate the entire clan. However, the Nanrong family did a good job of distancing themselves from the matter. Except for every head of the Nanrong family and the future young master, even the people of the Nanrong family did not know about the relationship between the Nanrong family and Yunlu Academy. When those officials came to visit the Nanrong family, the Nanrong family would think that the Nanrong family was the number one family in Jiangnan, and that those officials came to visit because they were a powerful dragon that could not suppress the local snake, so they had no choice. As for those officials, they would not go around saying that they became officials because of the Nanrong family, especially the children of poor families and the illegitimate sons of the side branches of the aristocratic families. They had finally become officials and raised their heads in front of the world. Unless they were fools, they would not do such things that would harm others and benefit themselves even if they were beaten to death.
