121 Unreasonable for Killing Barbarians since Childhood (2/2)
”But why bother me? If I'm interested, I'll play with you. If not, I'll just quit.”
”Don't use those kinds of ethics and the likes to question me. You care about morality and ethics, but I don't care. When you were still in the nurse's arms and were scared by her Horse Gang stories because you were unwilling to drink your milk, I was already on the grasslands cutting the Horse Gang's heads for fun.”
”As I said before, I don't care whether you laugh behind my back and treat me as a coward or a rogue. But you must remember that from now on, don't let me hear you laughing at me. Because I hate it.”
”If you don't want your head to become a ball like those Horse Gangs', do not ignore my threat.”
After finishing these words, he did not look at the people in the study room but waved a hand at the Grade A Dormitory students in front of him, signaling for them to move away. He lifted his chin and pushed out his chest and walked out of the door, along the rain-hiding hall to the back of the Academy.
His good mood was ruined because of this incident that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. He became even more irritated when he thought of the classmates who were familiar with him did not defend him but trusted in what Zhong Dajun had said.
Since he became irritated, he also stopped playing at being a gentle and harmless primary school student and expressed his feelings directly.
Chu Youxian looked at his back in the rain-hiding hall and hurried to catch up with him. He shook his head and said, ”Well, you've offended our classmates, so I'd better keep a distance with you in the future.”
”Then why did you come after me this time?” Ning Que laughed and said.
”You say they're naive kids. But the girls in a dozen of brothels of Chang'an can prove that I'm not a kid. So I don't think your words can hurt me,” Chu Youxian said with a smile, ”What's more, if I have a good relationship with you, I may be able to get close to the favored girls in House of Red Sleeves in the future. You don't have to look at me like that. I assure you that I'll only see Dewdrop from a distance. I just want you to introduce Miss Luxue to me.”
Ning Que turned to look at him and said with a smile, ”Aren't you afraid to offend a lot of classmates?”
”People in the Academy know that we have a good relationship. If I ignore you because you fought with them, I'll be judged as ruthless by those pedantic scholars. You know I don't like reading and I don't think well of their pedantic behaviors.”
Chu Youxian laughed at himself and stopped to say, ”So I have to comfort you in front of them. But as you said, I can't confront the whole Academy, so I have to go back now.”

For a soldier in a border town who had lived a dangerous life since childhood and could really be described as a murderer in the grassland, the calm and peaceful life in the Academy was somewhat uncomfortable, let alone those classmates who grew up in a pleasant world.
Ning Que had just spoken from his heart. But for those students in the study room, this evaluation was undoubtedly the most vicious attack. They could not help but stare blankly at the scene.
For Master Xiesan of South Jin Kingdom, the gamble was a very important thing. He did not enjoy either being beaten at the entrance exam or having failed at cultivating in the old library. He even received sarcastic jibes from the Fourth Princess. He had depended on the gamble to regain the confidence.
It was indeed a rare good result for he had received A plus in five courses, but it was inevitable for Xie Chengyun to naturally generate some arrogance besides the joy. Today, he came to Grade C Dormitory with his companions. He did not mean to humiliate Ning Que but to show off his accomplishment.
As for Zhong Dajun, he had felt that all the show was stolen by Xie Chengyun, Ning Que and a but fourteen-year-old lad, Linchuan Wangying after entering the Academy. As a brilliant scholar trained by the Yang Guan Tribe, he was not willing to stay behind them. Xie Chengyun and Wangying were worth the reputation indeed, for they enjoyed a great fame before entering the Academy. One of them was his best friend, and the other was indeed young. But why should Ning Que be placed before him?
Therefore, he was even more active than Xie Chengyun for this semester exam's gamble. Today he had entered Grade C Dormitory to humiliate Ning Que and expose this rogue's sinister face in front of the Academy students.
However, neither Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, nor those Grade A Dormitory students who accompanied them to Grade C Dormitory for the scene had thought that Ning Que, after making such a cowardly act, would have no shame but was eloquent to criticize the others instead.
They meant to humiliate Ning Que but were called being unreasonable and were humiliated by him. Therefore, those students, who had doubted Ning Que might be really sick on the semester exam day, did not want to think further in that direction.
Not only those students but also all the young students in Grade C Dormitory were infuriated by Ning Que's seemingly forceful but unreasonable reprimand. Even the most ordinary students were much adored in the study rooms of their hometowns and they had never withstood such ridiculous mocking.
”Forget it. Don't bother yourself arguing with that guy.”
Some students repressed the unwillingness in their hearts and reminded the others. ”He's the Fourth Princess' old friend after all.”
