Wang Mingyue was eloquent, confident, and enthusiastic.
Encouraged by her, Jiang Wanlin said worriedly, “I’m worried about Mu Feng. He hasn’t done anything to clean up the pigpen. I should have gone to help him. I-I forgot. He must blame me.”
Mu Feng cared about judgment. If other Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters saw him cleaning the pigpen alone, he would definitely feel very embarrassed.
It might have been better if she was with him, but it would have been hard on him if he was alone.
Jiang Wanlin was worried, but Wang Mingyue waved her hand casually. “Aiya, it’s just a small matter. He had never done it before, but have you? You’re also your father and mother’s treasure at home. Moreover, the teachers said that everyone is equal in the academy. Mu Feng definitely won’t be the first to clean the pigpen. So many Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers have done it, but nothing happened. ”
“Besides, Teacher is clear about rewards and punishments. No matter what the outcome is, it’s well deserved.” Wang Mingyue was very normal and didn’t take it seriously at all.
Jiang Wanlin was also stunned. “Is, is that so?”
Wang Mingyue nodded heavily. “That’s right. You might not be too concerned. Previously, not only did the Young Master of the Yan state clean up the pigpen, but he also cleaned the toilets. However, he changed a lot later. The teachers are all adults and can see things clearly. Sometimes, they deliberately punish students to do certain things to train their minds and patience. Moreover, humans eat five grains. and livestock eat five grains too. Evervone is actuallv
the same.”
“I believe that since Mu Feng is so smart, he will definitely understand the teacher’s good intentions.”
Wang Mingyue smiled gently at Jiang Wanlin and said firmly, “It’s fine if you don’t go. If you did, Teacher Su would be unhappy if she found out. There are so many pigsties in the academy, and there are many people cleaning them every day. No one feels that there’s anything wrong with that. Whoever is punished will bear it themselves. Why should they ask for help? Those who are responsible won’t let their friends help. You have to believe that the teachers won’t take in disciples easily. Any character will be tested. We might encounter such matters in the future.”
Wang Mingyue looked at Jiang Wanlin’s confused gaze and sighed in her heart. Did Jiang Wanlin’s parents not pay attention to her? Jiang Wanlin looked like a blank piece of paper. She really didn’t know anything about human nature.
Wang Mingyue’s words made many voices appear in Jiang Wanlin’s mind. These were things she had never thought of. There were too many voices for her to think through. She remembered everything Wang Mingyue said. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that what Wang Mingyue said made sense.
Gradually, she stopped thinking about Mu Feng.
“Alright, alright. Go to sleep. We definitely have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”
Seeing that she had calmed down a lot, Wang Mingyue yawned and said.
Jiang Wanlin nodded. She was no longer uneasy. Now that she felt at ease, she could naturally sleep well.
On the other hand, Mu Feng was not doing well.
He returned to his room and his roommate muttered, “What did you do? You smell strange.”
Just one sentence made Mu Feng’s face darken.
Seeing that he did not look good, the roommate did not say anything else.
Mu Feng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and went to his bed to sleep.
Cleaning up the pigpen was the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced in his life.
He had never done such a thing before. The filth of the pigpen was beyond his imagination. The Senior Brother in charge’s sarcastic smile made him very uncomfortable.
The gazes of his fellow disciples made him feel like he was in an uncomfortable situation.
He did not know that pig feces could be so slippery. If he accidentally fell, his hand would be stuck in the cold and sticky touch, making him shiver.
What made him feel even worse was that Jiang Wanlin did not come to help him.
Chen Lian was here, but she kept crying and apologizing. She couldn’t do it well and almost shoveled pig poop on him.
When the two hours were up, the Senior Brother who was in charge said that they were done. He immediately left as if he was escaping.
Chen Lian still wanted to help him, but his pride no longer allowed it. He didn’t want to show his sorry state in front of Chen Lian, let alone take it to heart that Jiang Wanlin didn’t come.
He couldn’t sleep either. He kept feeling the stench of pig feces lingering in his nostrils.
The disciple in the same room as him coughed and spat, hurting Mu Feng’s pride.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Is it that disgusting? Am I that disgusting to you? Only you, Li Ming, are the most virtuous and advanced!”
Li Ming, who was called out, was puzzled. Just now, he had been looked at by Mu Feng with a strange gaze. Now that he coughed twice and was scolded for spitting, he couldn’t take it anymore. He immediately retorted, “Mu Feng, are you crazy? What did you say for no reason? I have phlegm in my throat. Can’t I cough and spit?”
Mu Feng sneered. “Heh, what kind of excuse is that? It’s just indirectly cursing at me.”
What throat discomfort? He clearly smelled his scent and did that on purpose. Li Ming looked at Mu Feng’s sinister expression and felt that he was really unreasonable. He heard that Mu Feng had been chosen by the teacher today and might be about to become her disciple. He didn’t want to argue with Mu Feng, so he turned around and ignored him.
In Mu Feng’s eyes, Li Ming’s silence was a sign of guilt.
Not long after, the other two disciples returned.
Coincidentally, one of them secretly farted.
When someone smelt this, he immediately pinched his nose and fanned himself. “Sun Zaili, you farted again. It stinks.”
Sun Zaili’s face heated up, but he smiled and shook his head. “Li Bing, I didn’t fart. Don’t spout nonsense, but there’s really a fart smell in this room. Perhaps you farted.”
Li Bing immediately smiled. “You’re still not admitting it? Your eyes are weak…”
Mu Feng roared angrily, “Enough, all of you, enough. I’ll leave, I’ll leave, alright!”
Initially, such teasing often happened, but today, Mu Feng had just experienced an extraordinary mental breakdown. His fragile self-esteem was extremely sensitive. He would think everyone was targeting him.
Hearing their laughter, he couldn’t stand it at all. He got out of bed angrily and rushed out.
The three of them were left dumbfounded. They looked at each other.
Li Ming, who was originally facing the other way, also turned around and stood up. Everyone looked at each other.
Sun Zaili asked Li Ming, “Li Ming, what happened? What happened to Mu Feng?”
Li Bing also sniffed in embarrassment.
He was at a loss and could only look at Li Ming.
Li Ming was also very helpless. He explained, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Mu Feng today. He was in a bad mood the moment he came back. I smelled something on him, so I casually muttered and asked him what he did today. He smelled strange and ignored me. It’s just that he looked at me unhappily, so I didn’t ask further. Later on, my throat was a little itchy.. I coughed and spat, and he got angry…”
