Chapter 140 The Little Fox is Not Simple
Chu Ci looked at his brother beside him and thought about his brother's life. If he didn't go to Qingsong Academy, his future would probably not be much better.
"Now that we've settled the enrollment process, it's time to recruit teachers. Is there anyone who wants to teach at our academy?"
Although the dean was asking everyone, his eyes were looking at Chu Ci. His eyes were shining brightly, and he looked confident, as if Chu Ci had already decided to stay in Qingsong Academy.
The dean was speaking on the stage, and everyone in the audience was whispering.
"I don't know which unlucky guy is looking for trouble this year. Every year someone comes and never succeeds."
"Yes, our academy hasn't had any new teachers for several years now. Those who don't have to be in the academy for a fixed period of time and are still qualified to lead are even rarer. Except for the dean, no one else is qualified."
"It's really hard to get the teaching qualification for our college."
After hearing the Dean's voice and seeing how confident he was, Chu Ci finally chose to stand up. She didn't care, but her brother couldn't. If he lost this time, his future life would be much worse.
This is their only chance, "I."
Everyone looked at Chu Ci in amazement. To teach in Qingsong Academy, one needed more than just ordinary knowledge. Those who taught in Qingsong Academy were the best scholars except those in the imperial palace.
They are all great.
But Chu Ci was the least favored person in the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion. It was said that he was a useless person who had never learned anything.
Chu Ci walked to the center with a straight and full figure, and smiled faintly at the dean, "Dean, I want to join."
"She's crazy. Who brought a lunatic here?"
"Another fearless person has come. How pitiful! He insists on trying something that is obviously impossible."
"But who is this? She's pretty good-looking. Even though she's not very smart, she's still a good concubine to meet my needs."
Chu Zhen also looked at Chu Ci in disbelief, ran over and pulled Chu Ci's sleeve, and whispered, "I don't have to go in. Forget it, let's just leave. It's not easy to pass the exam to become a teacher in the academy."
Chu Ci patted his hands, "It's okay, you trust me."
Chu Ci's action of patting Chu Zhen's hand caused dissatisfaction among those sitting in the upper seats.
She felt someone was staring at her, and curiously looked towards the main seat, where she saw Prince Rui sitting, staring solemnly at Chu Ci's hand.
Chu Ci could feel that if he didn't take his hand away, Cang Mo's sword would be swung at him.
She took her hand back awkwardly and smiled foolishly. Why was he here?
Could it be that he is also a student of Qingsong Academy?
When Prince Rui saw her take her hand away, he retracted his murderous gaze, but he also wrote it down in his little notebook and would settle the score when he returned home that night.
The dean showed a cunning smile. Even though he could meet the result, he couldn't resist the good mood. "Okay, then please ask Miss Chu to choose a teacher and compete in Go. If you can win, we will take you in."
Chu Ci nodded, "Okay."
Chu Ci looked around, searched, and finally set his sights on the teacher who had just accepted the Duke's Mansion as a student, of course with some selfish motives.
She pointed at the gentleman and said, "Dean, I choose him."
The gentleman being pointed out was bewildered and didn't know what had happened. However, Rong Ziyu and Rong Xue, who were standing next to her, stood up and said words that were murderous without shedding blood.
"Chu Ci, who are you? You, a loser, dare to provoke our master here."
"That's right, you are a piece of trash kept in the backyard by the Chu family. You haven't even shown your face in all these years. Now you want to provoke our master, don't you think you are worthy?"
"Chu Ci, come forward to our master, kneel down and kowtow twice, admit your mistakes frankly, and even call me, Chu Ci, a waste, and we will forgive you."
Chu Ci looked at them indifferently. People like this should not be given the opportunity to appear on screen. They should be ignored directly. Otherwise, they would be like pests sucking blood on the body and could not be shaken off.
Seeing that Chu Ci ignored them, Rong Xue and Rong Ziyu wanted to step forward and say something, but King Rui, who was sitting on the upper throne, shot them a look, and the two of them became obedient.
The princess felt even more distressed when she saw Prince Rui protecting Chu Ci. She stepped forward and tried to persuade Chu Ci, "Chaoyang, I advise you to think it over carefully. You have been betrothed to Brother Rui now. If you lose face and don't get in, you will lose face for Brother Rui and the royal family."
Chu Ci glanced at Prince Rui who was sitting on the throne, and then looked at the eldest princess. Did she realize the troubles of the royal family?
Chu Zhen tugged at Chu Ci's foot and said, "Xiao Ci, let's just forget it."
Prince Rui saw her frowning, and finally said something that went against his heart, "It's okay, if she wants to try, then she can. I'll take care of the rest."
The other gentlemen did not know Chu Ci well, and they all complained about Chu Ci's young age and his daring to provoke them.
However, the dean has great trust in Chu Ci.
The dean nodded with a smile, "Okay, you two can compete."
The old man looked at Chu Ci curiously, then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then I will come out and compete with Miss Chu."
The little servants brought out the table, then two chairs and the Go board, all placed in the middle of the venue. Thousands of people's eyes were all on Chu Ci, and almost no one thought that Chu Ci could win.
Chu Ci stepped forward and sat down, "Sir, please go first."
The old man opposite glanced at him, thinking he had misheard, and couldn't help asking Chu Sheng, "What did you say?"
"Please come in first, sir." Chu Ci said again.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant, or you will die miserably!"
Chu Ci picked up a white piece and said, "Sir, you're joking. If you're not arrogant when you're young, you can't wait until you're older and then you can't be arrogant anymore. The world is still uncertain, and no one can predict the final outcome."
There were constant sighing sounds coming from all around, full of disdain for Chu Ci.
Chu Ci ignored them and just focused on the chess game.
The dean, sitting in the upper seat, looked at the somewhat nervous Prince Rui beside him, stroking his white beard with a smile deep in his eyes. "It seems that Prince Rui doesn't know his princess very well. Don't be nervous. This kind of small scene is easy for her."
Prince Rui didn't understand, "What does the dean mean by this?"
The dean coughed heavily and whispered, "Prince Rui, treat her well, she will be your lucky star along the way." After saying this, the dean closed his mouth tightly, no matter how Prince Rui asked, he didn't say a word.
Seeing how confident the dean was, Prince Rui relaxed himself. By the time he turned his attention to the chessboard, the teacher from Qingsong Academy was already showing signs of defeat.
Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci suspiciously. Who was she? What else was she hiding from him? Judging from the dean's words, this little fox was no ordinary person.
