Dong Mu He works

Chapter 254: Another One Arrives (Part Two)

    

he braised pork, steamed vegetables, and dry-pot dishes were served, a wave of fragrance filled the air. Everyone in their hearts silently added another label to him: "capable". Just based on his coo...You can't say that what Ma Jia did was wrong, they are just someone who plays both sides. In the end, it makes people feel like they lack integrity and sincerity, like a opportunist.

Xu Huaiyi remained silent, but he sensed a certain distance in Maziceng's subconscious.

"Practice right away."

Yes, Master Ma.

Xu Huaiyi respectfully bowed and went to Ding Sanban's position. Li Yunting had already prepared his bow and arrows and taken his place at the target, waiting for him.

Others just take it for granted.

But as soon as Xu Huaiyi arrived, Zhao SanYOU couldn't help but rush over and ask, "How did it go What did Master Sun say Does he agree to our arrangement"

Xu Huaiyi nodded. “Don't worry, Master Sun has given us full authority. He only gave us a few pointers. On the outside, we represent the academy's image, so everything we do must be extremely careful. We absolutely cannot tarnish the academy's reputation. Otherwise, there will be no reward, only punishment.”

Zhao San's friend excitedly patted his chest and said, "That's a must! We'll never back down."

Wang Qiusheng pressed on, "What else did Master Sun say"

Xu Huaiyi took out a copper plaque from his bosom and waved it in front of several people. "My master gave this back to me. Do you know what this plaque is"

Besides Meng Ping's bewildered expression, the other three clearly seemed to know something. Zhao San readily took the plaque, his eyes gleaming with delight. He couldn't bear to let go, saying, "Huai Yi, brother, I can't help but be jealous of you! How lucky you are! You've only been in the academy for a few days and already have this plaque. Oh, it's too much to think about, the more I think about it, the more sour my heart becomes..."

Wang Qiu sinh also said in a complex tone, “Huai yi, Master Sun treats you really well.”

Before the formal bowing and tea ceremony, he was already given such a generous gift. This shows how satisfied and loving Sun Yu, the master, is towards Xu Huaiyi, his disciple.

Only Li Yunting's expression remained unchanged, as if Xu Huaiyi had received this bronze medal, it was the most normal thing in the world.

Xu Huaiyi didn't hide it, he laughed and explained, "I wrote a disaster relief plan last night and just showed it to my master. I wanted him to give me some advice. Who knew, my master was very pleased, so happy that he gave me this as a reward. I actually don't know what brand this is. Can anyone tell me about it"

Zhao Sanyou, hearing this, couldn't help but lament with pain and sorrow, "You don't even know what this brand stands for You truly have eyes but cannot see gold inlaid with jade..."

Xu Huaiyi, "…".

You know, why don't you just say it

It was still Wang Qiusheng who gave him a briefing, “Since our academy was founded, we have established three types of brands: gold medals, silver medals, and bronze medals. They are not assigned to any specific person, but awarded based on merit. However, so far, only Lu Shanchang has one gold medal, and there are not many silver medals either. Only a few highly respected professors and masters have them. There are the most bronze medals, but few students can obtain them, unless they are particularly outstanding and excellent, or have made significant contributions to the academy. Otherwise, even if their status is high, it’s useless. Yours should belong to Master Sun…”

Xu Huaiyi was stunned, "Then the master gave it to me, doesn't that mean he doesn't have any left"

Wang Qiusheng smiled and said, "Master Sun should still have a silver medal."

Xu Huaiyi blinked. "My master is so amazing"

Wang Qiusheng sighed, "Of course that's true. You clearly don't know your master well enough. He's not just a wealthy family son, nor is he simply a former member of the Twelve Guards. After he began teaching at our academy, he was highly regarded by Headmaster Lusshan, who entrusted him with many important matters. Otherwise, why would you go to him and he could make decisions directly"

Xu Huaiyi murmured, "That's right. Why does Master Lu value his master so much"

Wang Qiu Sheng shook his head. "Then I'm not sure."

Zhao Sanshou took over the conversation, "What else could it be It's naturally because Master Sun is skilled and capable."

This is true, but Xu Huaiyi always felt this wasn't the real reason. He pressed down on his thoughts and shifted back to the previous topic. "You haven't said, what use is this bronze medal"

Zhao San's eyes turned red as he said, "Being able to come and go from the academy freely is very useful, isn't it If you are willing, you don't even have to live in the dormitory anymore, no one will bother you..."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes lit up. "Really"

"Could this be fake"

"Is there any other use for it"

"Capable of commanding everyone in the academy, except for the master and the instructors."

"Can students do it too"

You could try.

It's okay to assign tasks to common student, but those aristocratic youngsters might not be willing to give face.

Even so, Xu Huaiyi was already incredibly satisfied. His silly grin made the others envious, they surrounded him and playfully beat him up, only then did they feel better in their hearts.

After school, Su Zhe came again. He had this talent, that even if others weren't warm or friendly towards him, he wouldn't feel awkward. Instead, he was very comfortable and at ease.

This skill is something Xu Huaiyi admires, truly worthy of being the son of a billionaire. With this mental fortitude, what noble connections can't he forge What business deals can't he close

One person went to the cafeteria to eat, and just after sitting down, someone else came over.

In the cafeteria where Xu Huaiyi and others ate, they were all ordinary students, except for Su Zhe who had been temporarily added. He glittered like gold, extremely dazzling. Who would have thought that today, another extraordinary person arrived Although everyone wore the academy's unified school uniform, there was a difference in the pendants they wore around their waists. Ordinary students wore a pouch, while noble children were equipped with jade pendants. From the high and low grade of the jade pendant, one could guess the status of the other party.

This person before us is naturally not bad, and his features are handsome and elegant. He looks like a young master who is graceful and charming in this chaotic world. Looking at him, one can't help but feel good about him.

Because of his sudden appearance, the dining hall fell into a strange silence.

Only Su Zhe uttered a meaningless grunt. Finally, that person couldn't hold back and sent someone to get a share of the pie. That’s right, acting high and mighty, so insincere.

Xu Huaiyi turned his head and whispered to Li Yunting, "Do you know him"

Li Yun Ting couldn't help but furrow his brows. "I know him, he is Qiao Huai Jin."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh!"

It turned out to be Qiao Huaijin, the nephew of the Fourth Prince's wife. Speaking of which, he had quite a bit of fate with him because Qiao Huaijin's father, Qiao Nan, was precisely the magistrate of Qingzhou, the official in charge of their parents. Over the years, his official reputation wasn't particularly good or bad; to put it simply, he was just mediocre. But this drought, Qingzhou's inaction really chilled the hearts of the people and made many see Qiao Nan for who he truly was: lacking both courage and practical ability.

Qingzhou is an important city in the north, it has always been prosperous and a popular choice for officials to be transferred here. As long as they remain stable for five years without causing any trouble, they will generally be promoted. But once something happens, like this year's drought, many mediocre officials who rely on seniority for promotion are easily exposed.

Xu Huaiyi didn't have a good impression of Qiao Nan, and he was indifferent to Qiao Huaijin. However, he didn't show it on his face, pretending to be puzzled and curious like everyone else.

Joe Wai's manner was graceful and polite. Even amidst the attention of the crowd, he remained calm and composed. "Fellow juniors, I apologize for my unannounced arrival and any disruption I may have caused."

Once you entered the academy, regardless of age, everyone who joined later would call those who came before them "senior brother" as a sign of respect. However, due to differences in status, commoner students wouldn't be so brazen as to call those noble children "senior brother."

So Joe's point is valid., will you"Xu Huaiyi avoided his eyes, "It's not about standing up for him, it's just that I feel he's fighting alone and it's quite pathetic. Ah, wife, be gentle! Listen to me explain. I swear, I don...
