Chapter 20: Win people over with virtue, bring my virtue brick over!

Bai Qingxia hurried back to her seat,

As soon as she sat down, she eagerly released her divine sense,

She scanned the surroundings.

Upon this scan,

As expected,

Ye Xiuxiu's petite figure was walking toward the small classroom where she usually had class.

Bai Qingxia frowned slightly, secretly thinking:

"This little brat, clearly earlier she spoke eloquently, analyzing all risks clearly, and even solemnly promised to carefully consider her actions."

"And yet? She still went her own way and ran over!"

Thinking this, Bai Qingxia couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking Ye Xiuxiu was simply saying one thing to her face and doing another behind her back!

Hmph, her courage really keeps growing,

These years I've never laid a hand on her,

Could it be she actually thinks I'm reluctant to discipline her?

Just wait and see,

When she comes back I'll definitely give her a taste of her own medicine,

See if she dares to act so recklessly in the future!

Meanwhile, Ye Xiuxiu had already stepped into that familiar small classroom.

Although the classroom is small, it is neatly arranged.

The classroom holds a small podium and several brand-new student desks,

all specially made by Ye Qingping beforehand.

Just the wood used to make the desks, if left outside, would cause Nascent Soul cultivators to frenziedly scramble for it as a treasure.

Since Ye Xiuxiu is petite,

if she stood beneath the podium,

other students would likely not notice her presence at all.

Thus, Ye Xiuxiu without hesitation leapt onto the podium,

This way,

she could ensure everyone's eyes would be on her.

Ye Xiuxiu stood on the podium, her gaze swiftly sweeping the entire classroom.

Soon, a small figure appeared at the doorway,

That was the first child.

He walked in with a toddling gait,

appearing to be about three years old,

with a chubby, cute face.

One really wants to pinch his cheeks.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Ye Xiuxiu smiled broadly, warmly gesturing for the child to come in.

With her friendly call,

children came into the classroom one after another.

These children included both boys and girls,

but it was obvious that boys slightly outnumbered girls.

Ye Xiuxiu glanced around and estimated,

that there were at least forty-plus children in the classroom!

The originally not-large small classroom now felt unusually crowded,

Although these children are still small in stature,

but after all there are many of them.

Just then, Ye Xiuxiu suddenly noticed a familiar face in the crowd,

it was her little fiancé Qin Feng.

At this moment Qin Feng lowered his head, seeming a bit embarrassed to meet Ye Xiuxiu's gaze.

No wonder, earlier he had been caught by Ye Xiuxiu relieving himself indiscriminately, an embarrassing incident,

that matter has lingered in his mind ever since.

And when nearly all the children had entered the classroom,

the last one came in slowly.

This person was none other than Chen Gong Dong.

He tightly gripped something in his right hand,

Upon closer look, it turned out to be a red brick ten centimeters long!

Chen Gong Dong walked up to Ye Xiuxiu, grinning with a hehe,

showing a mouthful of white teeth as he said:

"Little Sister Xiuxiu, what you said is absolutely right!"

He shook the brick in his hand and continued: "Indeed, we must still win people over with virtue!"

"At first, no matter how I persuaded them, they just wouldn't come to class,"

"But I only need to take out a virtue brick, and they immediately agree to come over,"

"Moreover, the ones who come over are each faster than the last."

"Indeed, one must still win people over with virtue."

Ye Xiuxiu showed a satisfied smile on her face,

She lightly nodded,

She said, "Hmm, not bad."

Her clear and ringing voice echoed throughout the classroom,

Then she turned around,

Facing the many children present, she shouted loudly, "Are you all already convinced and willing to submit?"

However, faced with her question,

this group of children appeared somewhat at a loss,

they looked at each other,

obviously giving no response.

It's unclear whether they are genuinely bewildered or genuinely not convinced.

Seeing this, Ye Xiuxiu frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Only see her suddenly lift a foot and stomp hard on the podium, hearing a loud "Boom!" that made the children tremble all over.

Immediately after, she shouted angrily, "Quickly bring that virtue brick to me!"

As soon as her voice fell, Chen Gong Dong beside her hurried forward,

handing her a thick brick.

After Ye Xiuxiu took the brick, she unhesitatingly raised it high and aimed it at the group of children before her.

While slowly moving her arm, making eye contact with each child, she asked again:

"Now, are you truly convinced and willing to submit or not?"

This time, the children seemed frightened, and they all answered in unison, "Yes!"

Hearing this answer, Ye Xiuxiu finally nodded satisfied and smiled, saying:

"Excellent, the sage once said that one must win people over with virtue in order to make them truly convinced and willing to submit."

"So, do you now understand the true meaning of this saying?"

At this moment, one child suddenly stood up, gathered courage, and retorted:

"But... but my teacher didn't explain it like that!" He swallowed nervously, then continued:

"He told us that the meaning of 'winning people over with virtue, being convinced and willing to submit' should be 'using good character and noble morality to influence others, making them willingly submit, so that they truly and sincerely believe.'"

After saying that, the child lowered his head timidly, waiting for Ye Xiuxiu's reaction.

Ye Xiuxiu used a voice like an oriole emerging from the valley, yet still retaining a touch of childishness,

and lightly gave a "tsk."

Her pink little mouth slightly pursed,

she said with a face full of disdain:

"Hmph! Now you're trying to use so-called morality to make this miss obediently submit? If you have the ability, come try it!"

After saying that, she provocatively lifted her chin.

Seeing that, the child hurriedly said earnestly, "Oh no, Ye Xiuxiu classmate, what you're doing is completely wrong!"

"We should be civilized and polite; you can't just go around threatening people with a brick!"

However, before he finished speaking,

only see Ye Xiuxiu, without saying a word,

directly raised the heavy brick in her hand high and steadily aimed it at him.

The child was frightened by this sudden action, his face turning deathly pale,

he instantly shut his mouth, lowered his head,

and dared not say another word.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence,

only the soft rustle of leaves stirred by a gentle breeze could be heard.
