Chapter 134: The Master Who Covers Up Faults

The Education Director felt so guilty he couldn't bear it; if this person really pursued the matter, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

If the school had to choose between him and Yan Jiaoshou, it would undoubtedly pick Yan Jiaoshou without hesitation.

So, the Education Director immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "Student Su Ruo's talent is so high; to be fortunate enough to become your disciple must be heaven's arrangement, sending her to your side so you can discover this dust-covered pearl—this is a great blessing; as for how it happened, that doesn't matter, right?"

The Education Director tried to gloss over the matter, but Yan Jiaoshou didn't give him that chance.

Yan Jiaoshou snorted coldly and said, "My disciple is indeed a pearl, but that's no reason for some people to bully her."

When Yan Jiaoshou looked at Su Ruo again, his expression immediately changed, and he spoke gently: "Since he won't say, my good disciple, tell me—is someone bullying you?"

Hearing this, the Education Director immediately looked at Su Ruo with a pleading gaze.

Before this, the Education Director never imagined that one day he would actually be begging Su Ruo for help.

The Education Director's eyes were almost blinking to the point of cramping, but Su Ruo didn't give him a single glance—would she let him off? Of course not!

When the Education Director transferred her to the master's class, he never once thought of letting her off.

Su Ruo has always believed in repaying grudges and resentments; since the Education Director dared to scheme against her, he should prepare for her revenge.

Now, with such a good opportunity to complain presented before her, how could Su Ruo possibly let it go?

Su Ruo immediately pinched her thigh hard, her eyes red, and said, "Master, don't blame the Education Director; this matter is entirely the disciple's fault."

Yesterday, when the Education Director told me to give my bunk to the Feng family's eldest daughter, I shouldn't have defied him.

I should have listened to the director, recognized my own status, and not become a disruptive element that harms group unity.

If I had obediently given up my bunk yesterday, I wouldn't have made the Education Director angry because of it.

The Education Director also wouldn't have, in a fit of anger, transferred me to your class and declared that he would make sure I couldn't get by in school!

Although the Education Director transferred me to the master's class with the intention of harming me, I still want to thank him.

Because if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to meet the master, let alone become his disciple.

Su Ruo's skill at playing the innocent, sweet girl had become perfect; she portrayed the weak, helpless young girl vividly, and the effect was immediate.

At this moment, Yan Jiaoshou's face was livid with anger; every word Su Ruo spoke precisely hit his sore spots.

After seeing Su Ruo, who was clearly bullied yet still acting submissive and accommodating, Yan Jiaoshou's anger level had exploded.

The Education Director pointed at Su Ruo, stammering "You… you… you…" for a long time without being able to say a word; where did that girl's fierceness from yesterday go? The Education Director knew Su Ruo was definitely harming him, yet he couldn't utter a single sentence.

"Chen Dong!" Yan Jiaoshou shouted angrily.

The Education Director's body went limp, almost collapsing to the ground; he flusteredly said, "Yan Jiaoshou, hear me out—this isn't what Student Su Ruo thinks; I really transferred her to your class because I saw her talent in medicine was high, not to take revenge on purpose."

But who would believe that? No one would believe it at all.

Yan Jiaoshou directly said, "Who is the Miss Feng my disciple mentioned? Is she worth you doing something against your conscience, even ruining a student's future?"

Su Ruo directly added, "Master, her name is Feng Xiran! Her mother even said that I, a country bumpkin, should yield to her daughter."

"Feng Xiran," Yan Jiaoshou muttered the name, his eyes suddenly turning sharp: "Who did I think it was! Turns out it's the Feng family—what a mighty presence, actually daring to bully my disciple!"

Go to the Feng family and deliver a message: just say that Elder Feng has finished this month's medicine, so he doesn't need to come again.

The Feng family is so influential they could surely find a better doctor; they wouldn't need an old man like me!

The Education Director's face instantly turned ashen; Elder Feng had been wounded on the battlefield in his youth, and though he was fine when younger, as he aged those injuries began to surface.

Over the years, Elder Feng has often been tormented by sleepless nights, unable to sleep all night long; seeing many doctors has been useless, and even the Old Dean is at a loss.

Later, the Old Dean, really having no other option, went to Yan Jiaoshou for help; Yan Jiaoshou hasn't been helping people with medical issues much these years.

But after hearing about Elder Feng's situation, he felt great admiration for this old Red Army veteran, and thus made an exception to take his pulse.

After Yan Jiaoshou's treatment, Elder Feng not only recovered from his illness but also became physically stronger; however, due to his many wartime injuries and old age, if he wanted a complete cure, he still needed to take medicine for regulation.

The Education Director knew that if Yan Jiaoshou really refused to treat Elder Feng any further for this reason, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

Most importantly, Elder Feng is the sort of person who is upright and unyielding; he despises using backdoors or leveraging his status to bully others.

If this matter really came to Elder Feng's attention, the Education Director simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

By then, not only would the school deal with him, but even Madam Feng would not let him off.

Even Madam Feng, to protect herself, would push all of this onto him, claiming it was all his own initiative.

At this moment, the Education Director's face had turned deathly pale, lacking any trace of color; he never imagined that provoking a Su Ruo would bring him such great trouble.

If he had known this would happen, he definitely would not have transferred Su Ruo to Yan Jiaoshou's class as revenge.

No, if he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have originally gone to the dormitory specially to curry favor with Madam Feng; otherwise, he wouldn't have this trouble now.

The Education Director had spent his whole life scheming, but this time he stumbled and fell.

"Yan Jiaoshou, this matter is my fault; I shouldn't have forced Student Su Ruo to change bunks, and I certainly shouldn't have privately switched her class without her consent."

"To express my apology to Student Su Ruo and my determination to correct my mistake, I am willing to make a self-criticism before the entire faculty and student body, apologize to Su Ruo, and hope she can forgive me."

The Education Director's attitude was sincere and his tone earnest; he took all the blame upon himself, and to defuse the situation he lowered his stance as much as possible.

For an Education Director to publicly apologize to a student, this had never happened before.

Yan Jiaoshou, however, did not immediately agree; instead, he looked at Su Ruo and asked, "Little girl, what do you think?"
