Jiang Jinlu was sweating profusely. When he thought of what he did yesterday, he suddenly felt that he was being ridiculous.
âYou also know that Iâm still here in this courtyard.â Li Shiyanâs tone was calm, but it was even more intimidating, âThe Meng family wants to take your senior brother away. You didnât even ask me a single question and crossed the line directly. To put it lightly, you were careless. To put it seriously, you were disrespectful and unfilial.â
Jiang Jinlu lowered his head.
Disrespectful and unfilial⦠He studied very hard, he read many books. What was that for?
âYour senior sister gave very serious instructions that these star lamps should not be touched. Not only did you move them, you also deliberately avoided her and the Crown Prince. You broke the agreement without informing. Thatâs unrighteous.
âThe Crown Prince personally sent troops to protect the star lamps. Thatâs the Emperorâs order. The Emperorâs order must be fulfilled. If you insist on disobeying it, it is disloyalty!
âIt is not wrong for you to seek help from the miracle doctor, and it is not wrong for you to not believe your senior sister. Your mistake is to insist on doing things your own way. You do not ask, you do not understand, and you do not care about others. âOn the surface, you respect your senior sister, but you do so behind her back. It can be seen that you despise her and are proud of yourself. Your master is extremely disappointed in you!â
Li Shiyanâs every word was like a knife cutting Jiang Jinlu.
Li Shiyan was his teacher after all, and he knew his thoughts better than himself.
At this moment, not to mention Jiang Jinlu being scolded until he cried, even Xiao Yurong and Xie Qiao lowered their heads obediently and did not dare to say anything when they saw Li Shiyan being so serious and angry.
Xiao Yurong was even more afraid.
Fortunately, although he did not believe that there were ghouls in the world, he still respected his senior sisterâs decision.
Otherwise, he would be scolded together with his fifth junior brother at this moment..
Fifth junior brotherâ¦
Just kneel there⦠Just bear itâ¦
Xie Qiao did not want to be too conspicuous. At this time, the atmosphere was heavy. She had to lower her presence so that people would not think that she was gloating They were senior sister and junior brother. There had to be some friendship between them
This fifth junior brother was different from her stupid younger brother. Scholars were arrogant and thin-skinned, so they could not be beaten or teased. Otherwise, they might even commit suicide if they could not think things throughâ¦
As for the matter of touching her things, this debt had to be settled, of course,
Take your time, there was no rush.
Li Shiyanâs tone had not changed much, but now he was like a Buddha statue. He sat there, making his disciples not dare to breathe too much.
âDo you agree with what I said?â Li Shiyan asked.
âTeacher! Iâm sorry! Itâs my fault! Please donât be angry. Iâm willing to be punished! Please donât chase me awayâ¦â Jiang Jinlu cried on his knees.
He had made such a big mistake.
Disrespectful, unfilial, and disloyal!
Jiang Jinlu only thought he had lived for 18 years in vain. He must have lived like a dog⦠How could a reckless and incompetent person like him want to pursue an official career?
He even laughed at himself for being stupid!
âYouâre not young anymore. Youâre always crying. Youâre useless, âLi Shiyan said lightly
He looked young, but he was not really only 15 or 16 years old.
Jiang Jinlu wiped his tears. âYes, I-I am useless.â
âIf youâre useless, then did I misjudge you back then?â Li Shiyanâs tone rose slightly, âSince you know your mistake, then you should make up for it. As a man, you should know your mistake and correct it. What are you afraid of, what are your fears, and what are you panicking about? Even if I expel you from the sect today, itâd be your own fault. You should face yourself and not regret or reminisce. Do you understand?
