Chapter 38 Rumors
Qi Ming pursed his lips and looked at him uncertainly.
"Me, too?"
Qin Chaoyan nodded, and Wei Zhao said, "Of course, the fairy sister said that she invited all of us, and you are one of us, so of course there is."
Qi Cheng reached out and patted Qi Ming on the shoulder, "Xiao Wu, we have all of them. The remaining one, like Wei Zhao said, is yours."
The others followed suit, and Sima Sun directly stuffed the remaining portion into Qi Ming's hand.
Qi Ming lowered his head, his eyes instantly reddened, and he returned to his seat, holding the portion that belonged to him cherishingly.
For a moment, almost everyone in the school sat quietly in their seats, taking a bite with great care, savoring it slowly, and then taking another small nibble.
Qin Chaoyan sat beside Wei Zhao carelessly, watching their behavior, feeling both amused and helpless and sad.
When Dean Yuan and other teachers rushed over, they saw the students of Qizhi School, each with their heads down, eating something that looked like something unrecognizable.
There are vegetables and meat!
The school was filled with fragrance. Qi Cheng looked up and saw them, and was startled. He then looked at the hamburger that the fairy sister on the table had sent him.
Qi Cheng shouted, "The teachers are here, come and eat!"
His loud voice not only scared Dean Yuan and the others, but also scared Qin Chaoyan.
Qi Cheng's peers, such as Sima Sun, Luo Wenxuan and others who were a little smarter, thought of the last time Dean Yuan and his team received news from the school, and that the emperor in the palace not only took the teachers' candies, but also wanted to take their candies.
If their fathers or grandfathers had not been important officials in the court, and if some of them had not started crying on the spot, they would have been able to barely keep their candies.
Thinking of this, they sped up their eating. Others who didn't think so much saw that their peers were speeding up and followed suit.
Xiao Changkong stuffed the rest of the food into his mouth in just two or three bites. Kong Mao and the others were not willing to be left behind. Qi Ming and Wei Zhao were also frantically stuffing food into their mouths.
Dean Yuan and others saw this and hurriedly said, "Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
Qi Cheng and the others didn't listen to them. They all sped up their eating and didn't feel relieved until they had actually eaten the burgers.
You know, last time, Qi Cheng and the others had not come to the school, but they had heard about it from Chen Zhaoxi and the others.
Last time, the Fairy Sister gave them candies, and then Dean Yuan and the others actually wanted to take them away. How could they tolerate this? After they argued and threw a tantrum, they finally got the candies given by the Fairy Sister back.
Dean Yuan is also speechless about this.
As a teacher, he felt ashamed to take the initiative to collect students' belongings, but he had the order from his superiors.
Besides, they didn't rush over today to snatch food from them. Although they were a little curious about the taste of the things given by the fairies, they were all teachers and would not ask for students' things.
"Slow down, don't choke."
Dean Yuan and other teachers tried to persuade them again, but Qi Cheng and the others still finished the burgers in a hurry.
After they swallowed it, Sima Sun glared at them secretly, and Chen Zhaoxi couldn't hold back his tears.
"Wow!" Chen Zhaoxi sobbed as he told his sad story, "I wanted to eat the burger that the fairy sister gave me slowly, but now that I've finished it, I almost forgot what it tasted like!"
With Chen Zhaoxi taking the lead, the rest of the people suddenly felt a little aggrieved. Some of them started crying with loud voices, while others looked at Dean Yuan and the others with red eyes.
They were made to look like some unforgivable villains. The teachers behind Dean Yuan took a few steps back, leaving him alone to face these suddenly spoiled students.
Yuan Qingquan pursed his lips and said, "Hey, here, don't cry."
Qin Chaoyan was also confused by this situation. This series of developments was really unexpected and yet not beyond expectation.
In the end, Yuan Qingquan and the others did not say what this Qizhi School was for. They just frantically tried to comfort the crying students. Then, Master Jiang came in with the lecture paper.
The teacher wanted to give a lecture, so Yuan Qingquan and other teachers who were not from the Qizhi School naturally had to step aside.
Qin Chaoyan looked at their leaving figures, narrowed his eyes, said something to Wei Zhao, then stood up and followed them.
After leaving the Qizhi School, several teachers bowed to Yuan Qingquan and left one after another.
Only Yuan Qingquan was left. With a sad face, he walked to Jiang Yuandao's Qingjing Pavilion in the academy.
Jiang Yuandao heard the noise and tapped his fingers on the table. "This is Qingjingxuan. Don't come here when you look like this. Don't bother me if you have something to do."
Yuan Qingquan smiled bitterly, "Uncle Master, I am really upset, I have nowhere to go, and no one can help me."
Jiang Yuandao looked up at him and poured him a cup of tea.
"What's bothering you?"
"Have you heard that the Holy Lord will pray for rain at Chengfo Temple in three days, Uncle Master?"
"Now I've heard about it." Jiang Yuandao nodded, "However, as the dean of a college, why are you so upset about this matter? Can you pray for rain, or can you stop His Majesty from praying for rain?"
Yuan Qingquan sat down opposite Jiang Yuandao and said, "Uncle Master, you are making fun of me."
"If I could pray for rain, Daqi would not have suffered from drought for three years. As for stopping His Majesty from praying for rain, I can't do that either."
"After all, I am just a scholar."
"Then, have you heard about the rumors that spread rapidly in the capital this morning?"
Jiang Yuandao paused as he was pouring tea. Qin Chaoyan, relying on the fact that they couldn't see her now, leaned against the door frame and pricked up her ears.
Pray for rain, three days later, Chengfo Temple, the emperor praying for rain, rumors, these words put together are telling her that there is some exciting gossip.
"Never heard of it."
Yuan Qingquan drank the tea in the cup and sighed.
"Today in the capital, the discussion about the goddess is getting more and more intense."
Qin Chaoyan's expression as he was watching the show froze. This time, he was eating the melon and it happened to him.
"Only the officials in the court knew about the goddess. The last time the goddess appeared in the academy, the academy kept it a secret and never revealed a word to the outside world."
"But today, the people in the capital all know about the goddess. The goddess brought Wei Shaoqing back to life, and the goddess killed the white tiger at night to save the people in the Dali Temple..."
"It was good talk before, so we can ignore it for now, but from what I just learned, the rumor has evolved into, if there really is a goddess, why doesn't she help the people's suffering?"
"Daqi has been suffering from drought for a long time. Is this a goddess or a demon..."
"People have spontaneously surrounded Prince Rong's mansion and the Dali Temple, calling for the goddess to appear. Our academy is a bit remote, so no one will come in the short term. But, what if it takes a long time?"
