Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Chu First is really lucky to be able to marry Shen Ruyan.”

“Well, the Chu family is rich now.”

“That’s right. Their business is doing very well. If only I had a daughter like Chu Qingzhi.”

“Dream on. 1 bet there is only one daughter like that in this world.”

“Don’t you think it’s miraculous? In the past, their family was so poor that everyone was emaciated. Now, they’re healthy and chubby. Look at Chu Xuyao. He looks like a gentleman.”

“That’s right. He always walks with a straight back and at a steady pace, looking like a scholar. How good would it be to have such an outstanding son? Look at my son, he’s mischievous all day long. The gap between them is getting wider and wider.”

The villagers watched as Chu Qingzhi’s family walked away. Their eyes were filled with envy. At the same time, they discussed spiritedly, wishing they could become a member of the Chu family.

Under everyone’s envious gazes, the Chu family arrived at An Shanwu’s house.

An Shanwu sincerely regarded Shen Ruyue as his younger sister. Therefore, he asked Shen Ruyue to go to his house and wait for the Chu family to come over to propose marriage officially.

Nie Huiyang was also present. Seeing such a generous betrothal gift, he was extremely happy for Shen Ruyan.

He also treated Shen Ruyue as his younger sister. Now that he saw that Ruyue had a good marriage, as her elder brother, he was relieved.

An Shanwu greeted warmly, “Come, everyone, come in and sit.”

Li Qingyu smiled and replied, “Okay.”

The Chu family had also invited the elders and matchmakers to propose marriage. The village elder, the village chief, and Matchmaker Chu appeared formal.

After everyone entered the house and sat down, they handed the process to Matchmaker Chu.

Matchmaker Chu had been in this line of work for decades and was already familiar with the process. Under her arrangements, the betrothal went smoothly and the wedding was set on August 25th.

In Yunfei School.

Jiang Zhaoyong and a few students walked in the corridor from opposite sides. Then, he realized that the way they looked at him was with condemnation!

Jiang Zhaoyong was puzzled. He did not do anything, so why was everyone condemning him?

“Do you know that Jiang Zhaoyong went back on his words?”

“Yes, everyone knows.”

“He looks like a decent man, but his morals are so disappointing. It’s fine if he doesn’t have much knowledge, but even his character is bad…”

“Stop talking, stop talking. He’s coming over.”

When the students saw Jiang Zhaoyong, they immediately slipped away.

Jiang Zhaoyong was puzzled.

The more he looked at the students, the more puzzled he became. What exactly happened?

A few more students walked over and looked at him with condemnation.

He couldn’t take it anymore and reached out to stop the students. “What is going on? You’re either whispering about me or looking at me with condemning eyes. What’s going on?”

The students didn’t answer. Instead, they changed directions and returned the way they came.

Jiang Zhaoyong was puzzled.

What heinous crime did he do??

He had a feeling that the entire world knew what he had done, but he did not.

Suddenly, two small faces appeared in his mind. He thought for a moment and immediately strode away from the spot like a gust of wind.

It must be these two brats!

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were learning the zither in the zither room. Their fingers were gently plucking the strings. The tone was neither pleasant nor unpleasant.

The teacher who was teaching them was Xu Guannan. He was dressed in a light gray scholar’s robe and had a handsome face. He sat behind the zither table with a gentle expression.

The zither music he played was very pleasant. It rose and fell slowly like the sound of a mountain stream or a bell.

Chu Xuyao walked towards Xu Guannan and asked humbly, “Master, why is the music I played not as good as yours?”

Xu Guannan looked at Chu Xuyao with a smile. “I’ve been playing the zither for ten years. How many years have you been playing?”

Chu Xuyao answered honestly, “Five days.”

He then added, “But 1 don’t think the quality of much one plays is determined by time.”

Xu Guannan smiled. “Xuyao, you’ll understand after you’ve been learning for longer.”

Chu Xuyao tilted his head. “But 1 want to know now.”

Xu Guannan deliberated, then said patiently, “Then let me tell you how 1 learned the zither back then.”

Chu Xuyao was all ears.

Xu Guannan said slowly, “When 1 was learning the zither, other than studying, I was practicing it all the time. I spent at least four hours a day and persisted like this for three years.”

Hearing this, Chu Xuyao understood a little. “Master, I’ll go back and continue practicing the zither.”

Xu Guannan nodded in approval. This young student’s comprehension was not bad.

Chu Xuyao had just sat down when Jiang Zhaoyong rushed into the classroom. “Chu Xuyuan, Chu Xuyao, what did you do?”

In the classroom, all the students looked at Jiang Zhaoyong with condemnation in their eyes.

Jiang Zhaoyong was a little guilty and slowly retreated. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

A student said, “You barged into our classroom without permission, offended the teacher, and disturbed us. Don’t you think it’s only right for us to look at you like this?”

Chu Xuyao’s childish voice sounded. It was clear and indifferent, and one could not tell his emotions. “Rude, unreasonable, disrespectful, self-righteous, and untrustworthy.”

The last word was said with great emphasis.

For the first time, Jiang Zhaoyong realized that he had so many shortcomings. “Am… Am I that bad?”

The young students in the class room nodded in unison. “Bad!”

Chu Xuyuan pointed at Xu Guannan. “Senior Brother, look at our teacher and then look at you. It’s not that we’re belittling you, but the difference is really huge.”

When Jiang Zhaoyong heard that, he could not help but compare…

He felt that he looked better.

He felt that he had a stronger aura.

He felt that he was more capable.

In other aspects, he was a little inferior.

In comparison, he was not all that bad…

“Now is not the time to talk about this. Explain to me what’s going on in the school.”

Chu Xuyao said calmly, “You said it yourself. If the entire school knows that you went back on your word, you’ll teach us martial arts. Now that the entire school knows, when will you fulfill your promise?”

Jiang Zhaoyong deliberately said shamelessly, “You already said that 1 went back on my word, so why should I fulfill my promise?”

Chu Xuyao’s expression turned ugly.. “How dare you fool us? I’ll get my fifth sister to teach you a lesson!”
