Chapter 165: You Want an Explanation, Yet You're Everywhere

Shi Ren said that in a low voice, only Shi Ren and Shi Jin could hear.

"Mind your own business!"

Shi Jin snapped back.

He didn't sit beside Shi Ren, but went to sit beside Shi Yun.

Shi Yun's reading fell silent; hadn't he been quite disdainful of him? Why did he come to sit next to him?

"Shi Yun, do you recognize this character?"

Shi Jin, his face flushed, asked quietly.

Shi Yun lowered his head, looked, and said, "Are you referring to the Xian of sea‑salt and river‑fresh, of scales diving and feathers soaring?"

"Yes, and I don't recognize the few characters at the end either."

Shi Jin's face turned even redder.

Wasn't this already taught?

Shi Yun noticed Shi Jin's reaction, stopped asking, and taught him the characters one by one.

When Feng Qingyang arrived, he saw Shi Yun teaching Shi Jin the characters.

"Shi Jin, why don't you ask your brother?"

Feng Qingyang walked straight up to Shi Jin and asked him.

When he said that, everyone turned to look in their direction.

Before Shi Jin could speak, Shi Ren began, "Master, don't blame my younger brother; perhaps because he gets along better with Shi Yun, he chose to ask him instead of me."

"You have to explain, and you're everywhere."

Shi Jin gave Shi Ren a cold stare.

Feng Qingyang said sternly, "Shi Jin, why are you speaking to your elder brother that way? No matter what he says, he's still your brother; how can you act like this?"

"I..."

Shi Jin wanted to curse Feng Qingyang, but thought better and held back.

He opened his mouth and said, "Shi Ren is indeed my elder brother, but he never really looked after me and was even unkind to me. With a brother like that, how am I supposed to treat him?"

Seeing him say that,

Shi Ren sat up straight and said, "How could I have been unkind to you? When have I ever not looked after you? When have you ever listened to me? I told you not to climb trees to fetch bird eggs, but you insisted on going. You fell, and you blamed me. I let you listen attentively to the Master's lecture, yet you didn't; later you even made my brother copy your homework. I told you, you were never content, I kept silent, and you even shifted my stool..."

"You're talking nonsense; that's not how it happened at all!"

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be my brother; you're a born bad seed! Others who are brothers cherish their younger siblings, but you as a brother only know how to mess with me..."

Shi Jin shouted at Shi Ren.

At that moment, he completely cast Qiao Sheng's words out of his mind.

He not only cursed Shi Ren but also got physical with him.

Feng Qingyang, seeing Shi Jin openly doing this in class, darkened his face, grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him aside, saying, "Shi Jin, are you trying to cause a revolt? Get out and stand outside!"

Shi Ren bit his lip, glared, and stormed out, breathing heavily.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun stared in shock; after regaining composure they wanted to plead for Shi Jin, but as soon as they opened their mouths and called the Master, Feng Qingyang told them to focus on studying and not worry about anything else.

"Master, my younger brother..."

Shi Ren also pleaded.

Feng Qingyang also rejected it.

Shi Jin stood upright outside for an entire class; after class, Feng Qingyang told him to return to the classroom, but he kept standing there.

"You're still resentful?"

Feng Qingyang looked straight at Shi Jin and asked.

Shi Jin met Feng Qingyang's gaze and said loudly, "That's right, I'm resentful. You don't know the truth at all. You treat me like this; you're a foolish Master!"

Feng Qingyang had taught here for many years, yet it was the first time a student he taught said that to him.

"I really don't know what the facts are. But Shi Jin, do you think your behavior today was right? Shi Ren only gave an explanation, and you reacted like that..."
