Chapter 156: Chapter 156: You’re Awesome, You Teach_1

Returning to the Moon Palace, Qin Shou took out his wine jug and started drinking alone, gazing at the stars above, he sighed and said, "Brother, cheers! Have a safe journey!"

In the evening, Chang’e returned, all huffy and puffy, with her lips pursed she complained, "That just killed me."

Qin Shou heard this, sat up straight, and asked, "What’s wrong? Who bullied you? ’I’ will help you sort them out!"

Chang’e pouted and said, "I ran into a jerk on the way who claimed to be Tianpeng Marshal, but what kind of marshal looks like him, stepping on two clouds, no horse, no chariot, talking nonsense without any filter?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyebrows shot up, he had almost forgotten about that pig, he had thought he gave up, but it seems this guy hasn’t given up yet!

Qin Shou was about to erupt with nowhere to vent, he grabbed the wine jug and said, "Let’s go!"

"Where are you going?" Chang’e asked, surprised.

Qin Shou replied with an air of dominance, "To slaughter the New Year’s pig!"

Chang’e rolled her eyes and hurriedly dragged the rabbit back, snatching the wine jug and setting it aside, she said, "Silly rabbit, regardless if that man is the real marshal or a fake one, he looks like trouble. I’ll just avoid him from now on... Besides, to be precise, that man didn’t really do anything inappropriate, it’s just... just..."

"Just what? What did he do?" Qin Shou pressed, thinking to himself if that damn pig had actually done something to Chang’e, he swore that this year for the New Year, they were definitely having that New Year’s pig!

Chang’e said, "He just stood there stupidly like a log, his eyes shining, it was extremely uncomfortable to look at him. I’ve met quite a few heavenly gods during this time, and none of them were like that..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou realized it was just a case of leering... He immediately felt relieved.

When you’re out and about, getting looked at by others is inevitable, you can’t avoid it.

However, Qin Shou still felt uncomfortable...

"Okay, forget about him, look what I picked up on my way back!" Chang’e said with a playful smile.

Qin Shou instinctively said, "It can’t be seafood, can it?"

"How did you know?" Chang’e exclaimed.

Qin Shou was shocked, "Seafood again?"

Chang’e waved her hand, and a big black turtle shell flew out of her Xumi Bag, inside was a pot of seafood, but it had gone cold.

At the sight, Qin Shou was speechless and said, "We should dump this..."

"Why?" Chang’e asked.

"It’s cold, and these are leftovers. I have fresh ones." Qin Shou always shared his gourmet finds with Chang’e, it was a habit, it was also caring.

So, despite Chang’e’s protests, Qin Shou dumped the pot and took out some fresh seafood. He lit the fire, heated it across the turtle shell, and soon the steaming seafood hot pot was boiling again. One man and one rabbit sat down and started eating contentedly... except that the rabbit clearly struggled to eat anymore.

A night without words.

The next day, in Lingxiao Hall, the gods were gathered, but the Four Seas Dragon King was notably absent...

"Your Majesty, your humble servant has something to report," Li Jing stepped forward.

The Jade Emperor did not speak, and Li Jing continued, "Shushan is a place where scholars gather, emphasizing poetry, books, rituals, and music, and it is the root of the Heavenly Court’s etiquette. Today, a rabbit from the Moon Palace entered the Wenqu Palace of Shushan and threw the Wenqu Palace into chaos with thick smoke and foul air, stealing chickens and dogs, and even engaging in fights; let’s leave that aside. He also incited other students not to learn etiquette but to learn to fight and do evil. My daughter, named Li Zhenying, innocent and naturally gentle, not fond of fighting with others, was provoked by this rabbit to smash a steamed bun shop opened by disciples of the Wenchang Palace, injuring three people.

I feel ashamed in my heart, unable to sleep, and have punished my daughter by grounding her for a month. Yet, my heart is still uneasy, and I have come to confess my crime.

At the same time, I request the Jade Emperor to keep the rabbit away from the sacred land of Shushan and restore Shushan to a pure land for scholars."

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished; nobody had expected that Li Jing would jump out not to discuss a matter of great importance, but rather the issue of a rabbit.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Wenqu Star Monarch, is what Li Jing is saying true?"

The Wenqu Star Monarch stepped forward and said, "What the Heavenly Lord has said is completely true."

Li Jing showed a faint smile, thinking to himself: It’s done!

However, the Wenqu Star Monarch continued, "Although that rabbit is naughty, he is not bad to the bone. Li Zhenying smashed the bun shop owned by the disciples of the Wenchang Palace because she was threatened by the shop owner and his two brothers into buying and selling by force. The rabbit could not stand by, and thus he helped by taking action."

Li Jing said, "Shushan has its own rules, and if such a thing happens, one can inform the teachers, and there will be consequences. If everyone does not follow the rules and behaves chaotically, wouldn’t the Heavenly Court be in disorder? I think that the rabbit may not be bad to the bone, but he is impetuous and restless at heart, poorly suited for studying."

The Wenqu Star Monarch frowned slightly; what Li Jing said was not unreasonable, and it was difficult for him to rebut, but he still said, "Your Majesty, I have confidence to properly teach this rabbit how to behave, handle affairs, and follow rules."

Li Jing was about to say something else when someone from the crowd stepped forward, it was the Craftsman God Lu Ban. Lu Ban said, "Your Majesty, I admire the Wenqu Star Monarch’s literary accomplishments, but I must disagree with his method of teaching. The Heavenly Court has Shushan, Shushan has Wenqu Palace, Wenchang Palace; Wuqu Palace outside; as well as various sect families... but none of them, like the Wenqu Palace, used thousands of rulers in just a few days.

I think disciplinary measures are necessary if a child is in the wrong, but to beat them with sticks, what kind of education is this?

Therefore, I think that the rabbit might not be very wrong, but following the Wenqu Star Monarch, he might not learn much; he’s more likely to endure many beatings."

Upon hearing this, the Wenqu Star Monarch’s eyebrows shot up, and he was immediately displeased.

The Wenqu Star Monarch was protecting Qin Shou, because no matter what, Qin Shou was his disciple, and reprimanding him behind closed doors was his business, and since when was it Li Jing’s place to make comments?

But Lu Ban was different; he was questioning his teaching methods, and how could he tolerate that?

But thinking it over, the Wenqu Star Monarch secretly let slip a sly smile.

Thus, the Wenqu Star Monarch chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I have managed the Wenqu Palace for many years, and though I do not boast of merits, I have indeed taught many talents. The Craftsman God questions my teaching abilities right off the bat, and I cannot accept this in my heart."

Lu Ban said, "The facts are as they are, what is there to accept or not accept?"

The Wenqu Star Monarch said, "That rabbit is different from the other students."

Lu Ban said, "Teaching according to one’s capabilities, each with its own method, isn’t this what you advocate? If you can’t teach, the problem lies with you, not with the rabbit."

The Wenqu Star Monarch said, "Since the Craftsman God speaks like this, he must have a method of education. Therefore, I earnestly request the Jade Emperor to delegate the rabbit to the Craftsman God’s tutelage, to listen to his teachings and become a person of accomplishment."

The Jade Emperor, upon hearing this, nodded slightly and asked, "Craftsman God, are you willing to take in the rabbit?"

The Wenqu Star Monarch glanced at the Craftsman God with a provocative look, as if to say, you think you’re great, do you dare take on the challenge?

Infuriated, Lu Ban said, "I, am willing!"
