Chapter 199
"Grand Master, everyone, the semi-annual Great Competition of the Academies has arrived once again. The disciples are still fighting in the secret realm, and it is still very early for the results to come out. Instead of sitting here idly, why don't we treat this as a semi-annual meeting on teaching gains and losses?
Especially since everyone here is usually busy, it is rare for us to gather together. Since we are gathered today, why don't we take this opportunity to summarize the gains and losses of the past half year and exchange teaching experiences? If there are any questions or difficult problems, they can also be raised and solved through collective wisdom.
At the very least, the Grand Master can also point out a clear direction for us," the major dean Fang suddenly opened his mouth.
These words were reasonable and logical, and finally, he had also elevated the Grand Master, which could be considered politically correct.
As soon as the words fell, the Right Libationer Song Bing opened his mouth. "I think Major Dean Fang's proposal is good. Grand Master, what do you think?"
The Grand Master did not express her stance immediately, but slowly looked at the Left Libationer and the deans. "What do you all think?"
"I think it's good. Even for us, it is rare to gather with the Grand Master, the two Libationers, and the four major deans on a daily basis. Such an opportunity should be cherished. I happen to have questions as well, and I ask the seniors to give me guidance." Bi Cheng, one of the twelve vice deans, was the first to express his stance, receiving a look of praise from the major dean Fang.
"I think this proposal is fine."
The major dean Gao Chu Xuan, who rarely expressed his stance, suddenly opened his mouth.
This made the major dean Kou Jing, who was still waiting, unable to sit still; he was the rotating major dean, and if he let them play on like this, there would be nothing for him to do.
Moreover, two deans and one Right Libationer had already expressed their stances, so it was impossible to oppose this matter, even though Kou Jing had already guessed the major dean Fang's intentions, but this proposal was out of public interest.
"It is indeed possible. Grand Master, who do you think should preside over this meeting?" Kou Jing asked.
Before the Grand Master could open her mouth, the Right Libationer Song Bing, who had spoken before, added, "Since it is a teaching meeting conducted in the context of the Great Competition of the Academies, I think it should be presided over by the chief dean of the previous Great Competition of the Academies. As for us, we can just listen to the Grand Master's instructions and the high-level discussions of the deans."
He had made a decision in advance, but he had also flattered the Grand Master, which could be considered maintaining political correctness.
Even if the Grand Master had some thoughts, it would be hard to refute.
"Of course, for the specifics, we must ask for the Grand Master's instructions." On the high platform, Song Bing bowed slightly, looking as if he were asking for instructions from the Grand Master.
But in reality, it was because Song Bing had figured out the Grand Master's temper; the Grand Master generally wouldn't intervene in such trivial matters and small powers.
It was just a meeting presiding role, after all.
"The Right Libationer's words are reasonable, so let's begin! If the effect is good, it can be used as a precedent in the future," Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao gave the final decision.
Song Bing bowed slightly to indicate he understood, and then looked at the head drillmaster Yu Da, who immediately understood.
"The Great Competition of the Academies teaching meeting begins. I ask the major dean Fang Fang Shinan to preside over the meeting."
This could be considered officially entering the procedure.
The major dean Fang stood up, cleared his throat, first bowed slightly toward the Grand Master, and then opened his mouth. "Since this is a closed-door meeting to summarize the teaching gains and losses of the past half year, and there are no outsiders, the purpose is to make the cultivation speed of the disciples of our Great Chen National Dao Academy improve again, and also to enhance the overall national strength of our Great Chen. Let's be direct.
First item, I suggest that the deans of the last four places in the previous Great Competition of the Academies first report and analyze the reasons for their academy's low ranking to the Grand Master and the two Libationers, then talk about the specific improvement measures over the past half year, and then talk about the implementation situation.
Finally, tell the Grand Master about the cultivation achievements of the academy's disciples over the past half year, as well as the possible expectations for this Great Competition of the Academies!"
This set of arguments was reasonable and well-founded, completely out of public interest.
But those who reacted quickly already understood the major dean Fang's intentions.
This was to take the last place of the previous session and publicly whip the corpse!
Who was the last place of the previous session?
It was Liuzhou Qingzhu, who was unconventional and even gave her academy a nickname.
Why do it like this?
Wasn't it all because of the scene at the beginning of the meeting where she retorted!
The major dean Fang had come to settle the score.
Yet, this score was settled in an impartial and selfless manner; no one could pick out a single flaw!
For a time, a group of vice deans, drillmasters, and instructors were all awestruck.
Some newly promoted instructors and drillmasters had already understood a rumor in the National Dao Academy: you can offend the Grand Master, but you cannot offend the major dean Fang.
This major dean Fang was not only narrow-minded, but his revenge was also so swift and intense!
The key was that it was also reasonable and logical, with an impartial and selfless appearance.
This was the most terrifying part!
You couldn't even vent your emotions if you wanted to!
In an instant, everyone's gaze was once again focused on Liuzhou Qingzhu, who was sitting listlessly in the last seat.
This person was indeed individualistic, but she was truly unlucky!
She was thin-skinned to begin with, and now, she was going to be dragged out to whip the corpse.
The vice dean Shen Wei, ranked second to last, looked at Liuzhou Qingzhu's listless appearance and couldn't bear it, so he said sternly, "Vice Dean Liu is still organizing her language; I am ranked second to last, let me go first..."
"No!"
Shen Wei had thought that he was thick-skinned and would go first to set an example for Liuzhou Qingzhu, and the matter would pass. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the major dean Fang.
"The rules cannot be broken!"
The major dean Fang, who had stood up, looked at the listless Liuzhou Qingzhu and said, "If it takes organizing language to make a summary, and one cannot report the situation of one's own academy impromptu, it shows that Vice Dean Liu does not understand the disciples of her own academy enough, does not value teaching work, and there is even a possibility of dereliction of duty!
If this is truly the case, I will definitely request Supervisor Chen to launch an investigation into Vice Dean Liu!
It doesn't matter if you waste your monthly salary and qualifications, but delaying genius disciples and delaying the rise of Great Chen's national strength is a great crime!"
The major dean Fang spoke righteously!
"Slap!"
Liuzhou Qingzhu instantly slapped the table and stood up, staring at the major dean Fang with anger; she even had the heart to kill him.
She had just retorted once and was playing the quail, but she hadn't expected this major dean Fang to drag her out to whip the corpse, and not only that, but he had even elevated it to the height of dereliction of duty, and even pinned the great crime of delaying the rise of Great Chen's national strength on her. He was going to destroy her to death.
If Liuzhou Qingzhu didn't resist, she wouldn't be able to stay in the National Dao Academy.
"Since the major dean Fang wants me to speak, then I will speak!"
Liuzhou Qingzhu stared at Fang Fang Shinan, her silver teeth grinding; she was furious.
"Then please."
Seeing Liuzhou Qingzhu in such a state of anger, the major dean Fang felt he had vented his foul air, waved his hand lightly, and sat down.
"Grand Master, two Libationers, Supervisor, fellow deans, according to the major dean Fang's agenda, I, Liuzhou Qingzhu, must analyze the reasons for the Liu Feiyan Academy's last-place ranking in the previous Great Competition of the Academies.
There are three reasons:"
Liuzhou Qingzhu cleared her throat and held up a thumb toward the crowd. "One month before the previous Great Competition of the Academies, my Liu Feiyan Academy's eldest disciple, Zheng Man, who was at the sixth layer of the fourth-tier Condense Star Realm, was taken as a concubine by the major dean Fang's eldest disciple, Fang Ying!
When she was married off, she was already three months pregnant!"
As soon as these words were spoken, in an instant, the deans, instructors, and drillmasters present all sat up straight; a big piece of gossip had arrived!
They had to eat it!
And this piece of gossip had landed on the major dean Fang's head.
Sure enough, when the reason for the summary landed on his own head, the major dean Fang was instantly furious. "You are being unreasonable. Marriage is free, and Great Chen even encourages childbirth! Does your Liu Feiyan Academy's Great Competition of the Academies score rely on one eldest disciple to hold it up?"
"Since it doesn't rely on the eldest disciple to hold it up, then for today's Great Competition of the Academies, why don't we completely remove the points of the major dean Fang's eldest disciple, Fang Ying!
If the major dean Fang's academy ranking points can still take first place, I, Liuzhou Qingzhu, will kowtow to apologize to you, and today I will withdraw from the National Dao Academy and exile myself to the Star River Battlefield to serve, how about that?" Liuzhou Qingzhu was also furious!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the point leaderboard of the disciples of each academy hanging high in the sky.
The points of the major dean Fang's eldest disciple, Fang Ying, were now at the top of the list, reaching 463 points, directly leading the second place, Ye Ye Anshi, by over a hundred points. The major dean Fang's old face turned iron-blue, and he fell silent!
He was directly silenced by Liuzhou Qingzhu's words!
Did he dare?
Or rather, did he have that confidence?
He really didn't!
The eldest disciple must have obtained the highest score in the entire field.
If the eldest disciple's points were removed, let alone first place, it would be difficult to even keep second place!
"Major dean Fang, are you afraid now?"
"Do you dare or not!"
Liuzhou Qingzhu had directly exploded!
Damn it!
You, Fang Fang Shinan, want to destroy me to death, so what face do I need to keep?
Let's all lose face together!
At worst, I'll just take a trip to the Star River Battlefield!
"Major dean Fang, if you don't dare, just say so! Not daring is not a great crime that delays the rise of Great Chen's national strength, just say it!" Liuzhou Qingzhu directly rebuked the major dean Fang again!
"Zhou Qingzhu, you've gone too far!"
On the high platform, the Right Libationer Song Bing couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to reprimand her, which could be considered clearing the stage for Fang Fang Shinan!
But Liuzhou Qingzhu was already provoked; seeing the Right Libationer Song Bing open his mouth, she became even angrier.
"Fine, then I'll say the second reason. My Liu Feiyan Academy's second disciple, Du Xian, whom I painstakingly cultivated for two and a half years, had a cultivation that reached the fifth layer of the fourth-tier Condense Star Realm and had already forged a star in her divine soul, with a high hope of breaking through to become a fifth-tier expert in the future.
Well, she was taken a fancy to by the Right Libationer's third son, Song Zixian.
They said that only such a female expert could give birth to better genius descendants for your Song family.
They took her away directly!
Now the second grandson of your Song family is already in her belly again!
And it was you, Libationer Song, who personally came to talk me into it, and I said delaying it for three months wouldn't work.
You said Great Chen doesn't forbid marriage!
May I ask the major dean Fang and Libationer Song, how do I overcome this reason, how do I solve it?
Should I abort the fetus and drag her back to participate in the battle?
Or should I kill these two guys who forcibly married the female disciples of my Liu Feiyan Academy?
Or should Libationer Song set a rule for the female disciples of my Liu Feiyan Academy that they cannot marry until they graduate?
I ask the major dean Fang and Libationer Song to teach me!"
After speaking, Liuzhou Qingzhu stepped out and stood up, bowing deeply to these two!
This bow directly turned the old faces of the major dean Fang and Libationer Song into the color of pig liver!
They had intended to beat Liuzhou Qingzhu, but they hadn't expected Liuzhou Qingzhu to directly checkmate them.
The beating had landed on them.
The scene was quiet for a time!
You could hear a pin drop!
This teaching meeting was opened so awkwardly!
Of course, the most awkward one was the major dean Fang.
If this teaching meeting hadn't been initiated by him and presided over by him, he would have flicked his sleeves and left by now.
As for negligence.
There was no negligence.
Because normally, the reasons Liuzhou Qingzhu mentioned were simply not presentable and could not be brought out publicly.
Ordinary people wouldn't say them.
Great Chen doesn't forbid marriage and encourages childbirth!
But who could have imagined that this crazy woman would say anything!
And she dared to say it in a public setting!
During the awkwardness, many major deans and vice deans began to learn from the experience.
You cannot push Vice Dean Liu too hard.
If you push her too hard, she will go crazy.
Just like today.
When she goes crazy, she bites everyone!
She doesn't give anyone face!
As for the major dean Fang and the Right Libationer Song, they were already cursing like crazy in their hearts.
Crazy woman!
Maniac!
While cursing in their hearts, the Right Libationer frequently gave eye signals to the Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui, hoping he could save the situation and provide a step down.
Things had reached this point, and a heavyweight figure had to speak.
Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui saw this and laughed secretly, but he couldn't let this situation continue like this.
"What Vice Dean Liu said is the truth. This matter is indeed a negligence on the part of the National Dao Academy, and we didn't notice it. I don't think the major dean Fang and Libationer Song did it intentionally; how can they control the affairs of the heart?
Sit down first!
You all sit down first!
Let's listen to what the Grand Master has to say!"
After Meng Meng Yanhui said this, the major dean Fang and Libationer Song snorted coldly and sat down again. Liuzhou Qingzhu still had her willow eyebrows raised and apricot eyes wide, looking furious, which made Shen Wei worry that she would flare up again!
But facts proved that Liuzhou Qingzhu was not the legendary "big chest and no brain."
She was just young, had a straightforward personality, couldn't stand the style of some people, and they had provoked her.
After Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui spoke, although Liuzhou Qingzhu still had a listless and wronged look of being furious, she still bowed to Libationer Meng and sat down.
It was fine to strike one or two people to show that she was not to be trifled with.
Only a fool would offend everyone!
The dispute gradually subsided, but the gazes of everyone present turned toward Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao.
Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was the highest controller of the Great Chen National Dao Academy; no one dared to question this, whether in terms of strength or power.
The nature of this matter depended on how the Grand Master would define it in the end.
Under the gaze of everyone, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao gently stroked her long hair; this was her sign of thinking.
After a long time, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao opened her mouth.
"This is indeed a problem."
While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao turned her head to look at Supervisor Chen Liao. "Supervisor Chen, your Supervisory Court can hold a meeting to study this problem, and then carefully repair it, for example, by establishing academy rules such as female disciples entering the Great Chen National Dao Academy for study must complete three years of study before they can marry.
After all, as long as they are disciples who enter the National Dao Academy, they can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources!
These cultivation resources come from public funds, from the taxes paid by the hundreds of millions of people of Great Chen, and cannot be wasted casually!"
"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order and will study a plan recently, then report it to the Grand Master." Supervisor Chen Liao stood up.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the major dean Fang and the Right Libationer Song Bing became even uglier.
Especially the major dean Fang, whose old face was burning with pain!
Liuzhou Qingzhu, however, was instantly beaming with joy!
Although the Grand Master didn't comment on the dispute just now, this handling already represented her attitude and evaluation!
Liuzhou Qingzhu, victory!
Complete victory!
