Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Confucius Travels East and Encounters Two Children Arguing about the Sun_1

"Yes, sir," Longhuai left.

Before long, Longhuai returned with three pale-faced fools, who were trembling as they walked.

Seeing the pitiful state of the three, the way others looked at Wenqu was no longer with the respect due to a teacher, but as if they were looking at a demon...

As soon as he saw them, Qin Shou quickly waved his hands, signaling them to sit in front of Taitai Le.

Without much thought, the three plopped down there, and as soon as they were seated, they were like three walls, blocking the little Rabbit Qin Shou thoroughly. Wenqu frowned, shifted left and right, but still could not see Taitai Le, Qin Shou, or Chongba behind them.

Wenqu frowned but said nothing. This was his Wenqu Palace; he didn’t need to see to sense everyone’s smallest movements within it. So, he paid no mind to the crafty rabbit’s ploys and said, "Now that we’re all here, let’s start the lesson!"

What followed were some basic etiquettes, similar to when the teacher arrives, and everyone stands up and greets—he just that ancient rituals were a bit more complicated.

However...

"Stand up!" Niu Dali shouted.

At the shout, before Qin Shou even got up, he saw the three fools jump to their feet excitedly!

Bang!

Three desks fell from heaven and landed right in front of Niu Dali.

Niu Dali turned back to look and saw the three fools scratching their heads and looking up at the ceiling as if there were flowers to see there.

Wenqu took a deep breath and silently recited, "Do not get angry, do not get angry... Heaven may fall, stay calm, stay calm—they are just fools, no point in taking it out on them."

Then Wenqu maintained a smile and said, "Kui Yi, Kui Er, Kui San, take the desks back, and next time, don’t be in such a hurry to stand up."

"Oh, yes, sir," the three guys hurried over to fetch the desks.

"Pay your respects!" Niu Dali said.

The crowd paid their respects and shouted, "Greetings, teacher!"

"Sit down," Wenqu nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and everyone took their seats.

Then Wenqu took out a book and said, "Today, we are discussing the ’Analects’..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes began to fight to stay open; he swayed left and right in his seat, stealthily kicked his deskmate Chongba, and whispered, "Chongba, call me when the teacher arrives, okay?"

But Chongba didn’t make a peep. When Qin Shou turned his head, he saw that Chongba had already closed his eyes and was drooling... He was fast asleep!

Almost simultaneously, a ruler descended from heaven!

Smack!

"Ow! Who was it? Who hit me?" Chongba exclaimed.

But he saw Wenqu holding the ruler, smiling as he looked at him: "Chongba, any complaints?"

Chongba grinned, shook his head, no complaints.

"Everyone listen up, the content I’m teaching will be on the test. If you can’t answer, then prepare to face the ruler." As soon as Wenqu spoke these words, the three fools subconsciously shuddered, clearly triggered by some unpleasant memory.

Qin Shou’s eyes lit up, though he also worried whether he would be able to withstand the laxative effect...

Under Wenqu’s threat, everyone’s spirits visibly improved a great deal.

Wenqu continued, "Forget it, I’ll read one line, and you guys repeat after me. It’ll liven things up a bit. Say with me: Confucius traveled east and saw two boys debating the sun."

"Pfft, hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Qin Shou burst out laughing uncontrollably.

Wenqu demanded angrily, "Rabbit, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Shou hastily shook his head and said, "Nothing, just thought of a joke... Haha... Confucius traveled east, came across two boys, then day! Hahaha..."

Initially, Wenqu didn’t understand what Qin Shou was talking about, but after hearing his phrasing, Wenqu’s face turned dark and he pointed toward the door, "You, get out!"

Qin Shou quickly ran outside and asked, "Should I go farther away?"

Wenqu was about to nod subconsciously but then thought better of it and snorted, "Don’t move an inch!"

"Teacher, that’s impossible, the ones who don’t move are turtles. I’m a rabbit..." Qin Shou said.

"Shut up! If I tell you not to move, then don’t move. Move around, and you’ll get the ruler!" Wenqu said furiously.

Qin Shou asked, "How much of it?"

Wenqu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. He had been waiting for this moment. Otherwise, his painstakingly prepared super laxative would have gone to waste, wouldn’t it? Wenqu saw clearly that the root of all instability in this class lay with this rabbit! When school rules failed to keep these guys in line, they naturally started to misbehave. Therefore, to address both symptoms and root cause, he decided to take action against the rabbit first! He said ominously, "As much as you can eat!"

Qin Shou became slightly intimidated. ’As much as you can eat’? How many rulers would that be? Seeing Wenqu’s determined look, Qin Shou wasn’t sure if he could withstand the doctored ruler.

However, Qin Shou also had his own plans. If he couldn’t get through this, from now on he would have to obediently attend classes, study, and recite lessons.

If that were the case, he wouldn’t be able to go searching for prey and, without an extra source of delicious food, wouldn’t he starve to death?

With this in mind, Qin Shou decided to take a gamble and lifted his head, "Bring the ruler!"

"Longhuai, give it to him!" Wenqu waved his hand.

Longhuai immediately poured out no fewer than fifty rulers from the Xumi Bag!

Seeing so many rulers, the three Big Fools stood up collectively, retreating to the corner of the room in fear, clearly terrified by the prospect of being tormented by the rulers.

"Rabbit, eat up. If it’s not enough, there’s more in the storeroom!" Wenqu said gleefully, while in his heart he calculated, "The Medicine Kings at the Medicine King’s Palace have said that whoever eats this medicine won’t be able to come out for three days and nights! Since this rabbit is so plump, think of it as helping him lose weight, an act of great merit..."

Wenqu was indulging in his pleasant fantasies, unaware that the rabbit, having picked up a ruler, raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and bit through it with one crunch.

Witnessing this scene, everyone instinctively stretched their necks to see better. None of them were fools; they all understood the outcome of the Big Fools and knew that the ruler had been tampered with! Now that the rabbit had ingested it, they wondered how awful his fate would be...

Taitai Le closed his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Stupid rabbit, always showing off, serves you right if you get diarrhea until you die..."

Having said that, Taitai Le looked worried, as if deep in thought about something...

Qin Shou was oblivious to what others were thinking; all his attention was concentrated on his stomach, sensing the entry of the ruler and feeling a peculiar power on it, something that seemed like a laxative.

As the ruler traveled down his throat, through his esophagus, and straight to his stomach, Qin Shou’s heart also raced.

And at that moment, as the ruler reached his stomach, almost instantly...

Pfft!

Qin Shou was stunned...

He clearly saw that the moment the ruler entered his stomach, it vanished! Just like other things he ingested, it was instantly broken down! That domineering disintegrating power seemed not to care about what you are, stating, "Whatever comes in, I digest!" No matter what it was!
