Kapitel 20

"Well, sigh, but it's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman. How come I'm not even twenty yet?" Ru Feng shook his head and sighed, looking very regretful.

Yu Xuan glared at Ru Feng with gritted teeth, feeling resentful: all the arrangements made last night were wasted, and Ru Feng got a huge advantage for nothing!

Yu Jue looked somewhat dejected and walked ahead without saying a word.

Upon arriving at the square, Rong Yiying coldly said, "I'm leaving now."

Ru Feng called out from behind him, "Xiao Ying, let's get together again next time we're on vacation!"

Then Rong Yiying quickened her pace, and Ru Feng chuckled to himself before glancing at the three of them.

"Here, Tianze, let me carry your bag." Rufeng took Yun Tianze's bag and walked into the school gate first.

Along the way, Yun Tianze still needed to rest for a while. The group was not in a hurry and walked slowly, occasionally greeting their classmates along the way.

Many people only returned to school this morning after a two-day holiday. Some people went to Fanxian Pavilion last night and knew about Rufeng. Some patted Rufeng on the shoulder with envy, shook their heads with a smile, and then left. Others stared at Rufeng with jealousy and finally left in resentment.

Ru Feng scratched her head and looked at Yu Jue and the others, but unfortunately they were not in the mood to pay attention to her.

When the grades were announced in class in the morning, Ru Feng, unlike his usual dozing off, stared intently at He Kun and listened carefully to what he had to say.

"This is the first exam for our Fengxian Academy. I have a general understanding of everyone's situation. Now I will announce the results." As she said this, He Kun glanced at Ru Feng, her eyes filled with admiration.

Ru Feng's heart pounded like thunder, and only after receiving that glance did she feel relieved.

As expected, Ru Feng ranked first in the class. Except for music, where he only got a C grade, he got an A grade in all the other subjects. Moreover, all the teachers in each subject praised Ru Feng highly.

The second place went to Yu Jue, the third place to Yu Xuan, and the fourth place to Yun Tianze.

Ru Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at the calm faces of the other three, and had no choice but to suppress her joy and pretend to be calm as well.

He Kun nodded to himself: Very good, don't be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat.

Next came the election for the head of the school. First, everyone nominated themselves, and then He Kun and the other teachers made the decision. The handsome headmaster also attended the event.

As soon as Ru Feng appeared on stage, she attracted everyone's attention. You see, in modern times, Ru Feng is very eloquent and has a strong ability to persuade people. Modern people have all sorts of campaign speeches. In addition, she is beautiful, elegant, and has good grades. Yu Jue and the others were not allowed to go on stage under her threat. Therefore, Ru Feng won the position of Zhaizhang with an absolute advantage.

Seeing the headmaster's jade-like face bloom with a smile before he left, Ru Feng almost felt dizzy.

"Let's go, what are you still looking at? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Yu Xuan pulled Ru Feng aside and said irritably.

!

Chapter 40 is here.

Unfortunately, before Ru Feng could get to know the handsome headmaster better, he was about to go to the capital and wouldn't be back for half a month, which disappointed Ru Feng for a long time.

Seeing her listless appearance, Yu Xuan smiled and said, "Ru Feng, even if your headmaster is still here, he won't have much contact with you. After all, many things in the academy are managed by He Kun and the vice headmaster."

"So what does he usually do?" Ru Feng asked quickly.

"Beg me, and I'll tell you." Yu Xuan grinned wickedly, stretching his strong body as he looked at Ru Feng with a wicked smile from the bed.

Ru Feng scoffed and said irritably, "Then I'll go find Brother Jue; he should know too."

"Hmph, go find it, I'll wait for you." Yu Xuan said confidently.

Ru Feng really didn't want to go looking for him. In the past few days, Yu Jue seemed to have become much more distant from her, always cold and indifferent, looking at her with complicated eyes. The intimacy between them in the past had disappeared without a trace. Ru Feng tried to probe him several times, but Yu Jue wouldn't say why. Yu Xuan was watching the show from the sidelines, and although Yun Tianze shared a room with Yu Jue, he couldn't explain it either.

So now Ru Feng doesn't want to make a fool of herself; she just hopes that Yu Jue will recover to normal as soon as possible.

"Sigh, how do you know so much? I can't find out anything no matter how hard I try." Ru Feng looked at Yu Xuan like a scanner.

Yu Xuan remained calm and mocked, "That's because you're brainless. I'm not on the same level as you."

"Hmph!" Ru Feng crossed his arms and sneered, "At least I, who am brainless, used to beat you, who are smart. And if you're so good, why don't you get first place in the exam?"

Yu Xuan's face turned ashen for a moment before he said angrily, "That was a prize I gave to you. I don't care about first place." A pillow was thrown at him.

Ru Feng dodged to the side and casually tossed a pen holder over.

Soon, the whole room was in chaos. Ru Feng ran to the big bed, pressed Yu Xuan down, and sat on him, making him unable to move: "Tell me, who's going to clean up here later?"

"Of course it was you! I've never done anything like this before!" Yu Xuan said breathlessly, his earlier arrogance gone, as he collapsed onto the bed. Normally, it was Ru Feng who did the tidying up; the academy's motto was "If you can't sweep one room, how can you sweep the world?" so they hadn't hired many cleaning staff.

"Hmm—" Ru Feng drawled out, tightening his grip, and Yu Xuan let out a muffled groan.

"I just won't sweep!" A true man is unyielding and will never bow his head.

...

The wind is strong, and every time this kid loses a fight, he refuses to clean up the battlefield. With his stubborn temper, he endures the pain. It seems we need to find a way to control him in the future.

"What are you doing?!" a familiar voice rang out.

Ru Feng and Yu Xuan turned to look at him and saw Yu Jue.

However, he didn't look too good.

Before anyone could even begin to speculate, Yu Jue had already walked away with a displeased expression, just as suddenly as he had arrived.

Yu Xuan and Ru Feng looked at each other in bewilderment.

What happened to your brother?

"I don't know." Yu Xuan's face showed deep thought.

"Could it be menopause? But isn't it too early?" Ru Feng muttered to herself, releasing Yu Xuan and resignedly starting to clean.

Just as Ru Feng was troubled by Yu Jue, He Kun found her again.

"Hold a competition?" Ru Feng's eyes widened, her tone tinged with excitement. Life at the academy was so boring; she never expected there would be a competition now. Haha, wouldn't her good days be just around the corner?

“Hmm.” He Kun explained in a serious tone, “Every year we hold a friendly match with the Lorraine Academy across the street. Both sides have their wins and losses. Although it’s called a friendly match, both sides take it very seriously, so you must do a good job organizing it.”

Ru Feng nodded in understanding. She had already heard that the two academies were sworn enemies, each unwilling to submit to the other, and both wanting to be the leader, just like the civil and military officials in the imperial court, each believing that they were the most capable and the pillar of the country.

Civil officials looked down on military officials for their recklessness and rudeness, believing that they were merely physically strong.

Military officers looked down on the civil officials for their perceived weakness and cunning, believing they were only good at giving orders.

This is somewhat similar to the humanities and sciences in modern times.

"Then what should we compete in?" Ru Feng asked quickly.

"According to the usual practice, the competitions are all about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, football, archery, horse racing, and martial arts. Both sides have their advantages. Although we are mainly focused on literature and they are mainly focused on martial arts, both sides have many people who are proficient in both, so the competition will be very intense. Sometimes we might even lose in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and so might they," He Kun continued. "The competition will start in a month. You should discuss the specifics with the head of the opposing team and let us know when everything is settled."

Ru Feng nodded in agreement. It seems that everyone has strong overall strength, so the distinction between literary and martial arts is not so obvious.

That evening, Ru Feng received a message by carrier pigeon. After reading it, Ru Feng smiled happily.

Yu Xuan asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Hmph, my junior brothers and sisters are coming. How can I not be happy?" Ru Feng said smugly. He hadn't seen them for a long time, but the letter didn't say how many people were coming or who they were. Ru Feng read it for a while and guessed that they wanted to give him a surprise.

Chapter 41 Reminiscing

Since learning about the competition, Ru Feng has focused his energy on the events, and the first thing he needs to do is make a good plan.

Three days later, Ru Feng's junior classmates arrived. Ru Feng was so excited after receiving the news that he couldn't contain himself. He couldn't wait for get out of class to end and wanted to leave the school immediately.

"Ru Feng, no, it's not holiday time now. You'll be punished if you go out. You should wait until the holiday starts. There are only three days left." Yun Tianze quickly stopped him.

"It's alright, I'm the head of the academy now. I'll just say I'm going to talk to the head of the academy at Lorraine Academy about the competition." Ru Feng raised his eyebrows smugly, looking every bit the smug little man.

Yun Tianze laughed: "So you wanted to show favoritism!"

"Hmph, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine." Ru Feng said as she packed some things, mainly to take out her money.

"Ru Feng, you're so poor." Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng's pottery jar with great interest; it only contained some loose silver coins.

Ru Feng rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, I'll have money soon." Actually, when Ru Feng went down the mountain, she had a thousand taels of silver in her bundle. It was money that her junior brother Han Shan had earned from doing business. However, when she returned home, she handed it over to the steward because her family seemed to be in dire straits. It was just that her parents and grandfather did not know this.

So when she came to the academy, all she had left besides the tuition fee were these few taels of silver.

"Besides, if I were very rich, you would say that my grandfather embezzled money. My poverty proves that my grandfather was an honest official!" Ru Feng picked up the broken silver and put it in his pocket.

“Ru Feng, if you need money, just tell me,” Yu Jue, who had been silent for several days, suddenly said.

Ru Feng looked at him with surprise and delight: "Brother Jue, you finally spoke! You've been so quiet these past few days, I thought you were angry with me. It's good that you're alright now." After saying that, she gave Yu Jue a big hug.

"Hehe, you're like my younger brother, how could I possibly be angry with you?" Yu Jue laughed, as if nothing had happened.

Yu Xuan and Yun Tianze exchanged a glance.

“I want to go out with Rufeng too,” Yun Tianze suddenly said.

“Then I want it!” Yu Xuan said.

Ru Feng shook his head: "No, we don't need so many people to discuss something. People will get suspicious. At most, it should be just one person."

So they played rock-paper-scissors, and Yuxuan won again. Seeing his smug look, Rufeng was puzzled: "Why do you always win?"

"That's because I'm a gambler!" Yu Xuan said, half-jokingly.

Ru Feng waved to the other two: "We're going. We'll bring you candy when we come back. Remember to be good."

The remaining two looked at each other, veins bulging on their foreheads.

After a smooth descent down the mountain, we arrived at the Yuelai Inn where our junior fellow students were staying.

"Alright, go have some fun. I have something to say to my junior brothers and sisters, and it's inconvenient for you to be here," Ru Feng said to Yu Xuan.

"Why? Can't I even see him?" Yu Xuan protested.
