The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 172 Yet Again

These people had just gotten themselves all covered in dust and dirt trying to catch up with the monkey.

Zhao Xiulan finally realized what she had done in her anger, and was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Jingyang suddenly pointed at her face: "Aunt Zhao's face is as red as a monkey's bottom."

Before Zhao Xiulan could react, the monkey whose butt it had pointed at became unhappy and bared its teeth fiercely at Jingyang.

Zheng Xun stood with his hands behind his back and said softly, "Lingyin..."

Zhao Lingyin, afraid that she would be angry, quickly said, "Right away, right away."

"No, that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to ask if you've considered adding a martial arts course?"

Zheng Jin, who had witnessed Zheng Xun encouraging others to learn martial arts many times, was somewhat impressed by her persistence.

She desperately wanted the entire nation of the Great Yong to be a soldier!

If things continue according to her plan, let alone a small brown country, even ten more wouldn't be a problem.

Zhao Lingyin, unfamiliar with Zheng Xun's style of doing things, looked completely bewildered: "I don't know martial arts..."

"Just find someone else to teach."

"But aren't we teaching gynecologists?"

Zheng Xun began to coax him gently: "Think about it, if those patients' relatives and friends cause trouble, wouldn't you just be able to passively take the beating?"

Zhao Lingyin nodded repeatedly.

"When you encounter a patient who is not cooperative, are you just left with no choice but to watch helplessly?"

Zhao Lingyin nodded frantically.

"When you encounter those foolish and self-righteous people, don't you want to slap them but can't beat them?"

Zhao Lingyin was completely convinced; there was some truth to what she said.

"So, is learning martial arts necessary?"

Zhao Lingyin finally lifted her usually lazy, half-closed eyelids, revealing her bright pupils: "Necessary! Absolutely necessary!"

"Then they need to learn martial arts even more. Of course, a person's energy is limited, so we don't need to be too harsh on them. Just make sure they have the strength to escape."

Zhao Lingyin was extremely excited: "Start! Let's start the martial arts class right now!"

Zheng Jin couldn't bear to look and looked away. Look at how poor Doctor Zhao had been fooled.

Zheng Xun patted Zhao Lingyin's arm with satisfaction: "A promising young lady!"

At this moment, the women who had tidied themselves up finally arrived.

Just a moment ago they were so lively, but now they all stood obediently in front of him with their heads down. Zheng Xun looked at the dark, bushy heads of them and thought it was quite amusing.

Zheng Xun had specifically instructed that there should be no age limit for the participants, so those who came here today ranged in age from six or seven to thirty or forty.

The young ones are fine, but for those who are older, it's too late to learn medicine.

However, Zhao Lingyin would teach them some common sense and basic gynecological issues.

There aren't many of these people now, but as the raindrops flow into rivers and seas, and word spreads, they will eventually influence some people.

Beside them, Zhao Xiulan helped call out the names, and Zhao Lingyin tested them one by one.

The assessment content was Zhao Lingyin's "Annotations on Gynecology," which she had recently distributed, and consisted of her meticulously written medical records and summaries.

Her question was rather tricky; unless one had a thorough understanding of the commentary or was exceptionally quick-witted, they wouldn't be able to answer it.

Everyone who came here knew this was a rare opportunity, so her behavior caused some dissatisfaction.

Immediately, someone lowered their head and questioned in a low voice, "Dr. Zhao's questions are so difficult, is he not even thinking about teaching us?"

Zhao Lingyin slowly shifted her gaze to the other person, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhao Xiulan comforted her in a low voice: "Don't take her pig talk to heart. Anyone who can talk like a pig is obviously not human."

"No, I was just thinking that what the princess said makes a lot of sense. I want to punch her now, but I'm too lazy to move. If I could just fly and pluck flowers and leaves, I wouldn't have to move at all."

Zhao Xiulan: How can you be so lazy that you die?

Well, she's the dean, what else can she do but tolerate it?

She leaned forward, placing her hands on the table in front of her: "Do you know the significance of Miss Lingyin setting these test questions?"

The woman was ultimately too timid to utter a single word.

Zhao Xiulan said to herself, "The purpose is to filter out people like you. If you can't see the deeper meaning behind the test questions, you're stupid. If you can't answer the questions, you're lazy. If you hold a grudge and slander others because you're incompetent, you're evil. Miss Lingyin won't accept someone like you, and neither will Yuanxiu Academy."

Hearing this, the woman panicked and immediately knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Please don't send me away! I was wrong! Please, if I leave the academy, I'll have nowhere to go..."

She cried desperately and helplessly, as if trying to grasp at the last straw.

However, Zhao Xiulan remained unmoved: "This is not the first time you have stirred up trouble in the academy. It is not that I have not given you a chance, but you have crossed my bottom line time and time again. Do you think I can still tolerate you?"

The woman choked back tears, wanting to say something, but Zhao Xiulan waved her hand, signaling the Red Eagle Army to step forward: "Throw her out."

The woman's cries were muffled by the guards and forced back down her throat, and the courtyard fell silent instantly.

Zhao Xiulan straightened up again: "You should know the original intention of Yuanxiu Academy, but there is one thing I have to say."

She stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze calm. Her hair was already styled in a high bun, and when her back was straight, she appeared even more imposing.

"The academy will only help those who deserve it. If anyone in the East Courtyard sows discord or does anything morally corrupt, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

When Zheng Xun saw her like this, the relief in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Zhao Xiulan grew up much faster than she had imagined.

As long as she can stand on her own, the academy will get better and better in the future.

Because of this example of making an example of someone, the subsequent assessments went much more smoothly.

Zheng Xun left with Zheng Jin halfway through the visit.

When she left, she took the monkey with her.

Yan Hong's gaze swept over the monkey several times: "Why are you so listless? Is it because you're reluctant to leave the academy?"

Zheng Jin couldn't help but laugh: "He's probably heartbroken because he knows that his days with Yuan Jia will be bleak."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xun turned around and glanced at her unhappily: "Is this how Second Sister usually speaks ill of her younger sister? Let me tell you, if you continue like this..."

"how?"

"If you keep doing this, I'll get angry?"

"Heh, it has no offensive power whatsoever."

Perhaps today is destined to be an eventful day. The two sisters were bickering when yet another unexpected incident occurred.

The incident occurred in the East Campus.

Zheng Jin saw the group of people gathered outside the east gate and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes: "Lord Zhao, you've had a hard time."

"Go over and have a look."

After Zheng Xun finished speaking, he led the monkey forward.

Upon arrival, they saw a disheveled man holding a child hostage, confronting the Red Eagle Army on the other side.

The Red Eagle Army leader immediately saluted Zheng Xun upon seeing him.

Zheng Xun waved his hand: "What's going on?"

Red Eagle Army pointed to the disheveled man opposite: "That's the child's biological father. His child was born mentally challenged. He originally abandoned the child, but somehow he found out that his child was enjoying a good life here and that the child still remembered him. So he tricked the child out and threatened him with his life to get money for gambling."

Zheng Xun raised an eyebrow: "Does he not know who's behind Yuanxiu Academy?"

"I knew it, but I was just naive, always thinking that no one could do anything to him."

After listening, Zheng Xun loosened the rope binding the monkey: "Little Wukong, go!"

Seeing her pointing at the man and showing him to the monkey, Zheng Jin said with a headache, "You don't actually think this monkey can rescue that child, do you?"

Zheng Xun didn't speak. Suddenly, the monkey darted out. Although it was just a monkey, it understood to strike at the enemy's weak point. So, it went straight for the slovenly man's eyeballs.

The man reacted quickly, dodging its paws, but while he was losing his strength, the Red Eagle Army seized the opportunity to push him to the ground.

Just then, Zhao Xiulan received the news and rushed over, her face looking rather pale.

Today is the first day of the gynecology class, and she was hoping for a good omen, but these troublemakers just won't stop!

Upon approaching and seeing that the situation was under control, her expression softened slightly.

The monkey, who had just performed a meritorious service, picked up the rope that had bound it, obediently returned to Zheng Xun's side, and stuffed the other end of the rope into Zheng Xun's hand.

Zheng Jin: ...

Is this thing really not sentient?

Zheng Xun, holding the monkey's hand with one hand and Zheng Jin's hand with the other, said, "Let's back out a bit."

Although Zheng Jin didn't know the reason, she trusted Zheng Xun completely, so she didn't hesitate to tell Yan Hong to stay away.

Zhao Xiulan walked up to the man and said, "You signed the indenture yourself, and now you dare to talk back to me! It seems I've been too lenient, which is why I gave you cowards the opportunity to make noise."

The disheveled man hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation: "That's my son! You swindlers bought him for just two taels of silver!"

"So you feel you've been taken advantage of?"

The disheveled man nodded confidently.

Zhao Xiulan laughed at his ignorance and looked at the Red Eagle Army: "From now on, if anyone comes to my Yuanxiu Academy to harm our students, we will gouge out the eye that glared at us and cut off the hand that caused the injury. We will start with them!"

She softened the coldness on her face slightly and looked at the Red Eagle soldier who was taking care of the child: "Take him inside."

The monkey sucked its fingers, looking at Zhao Xiulan as if it didn't recognize her.

This big demon is nothing like that little chick that was baring its teeth and claws just now.

It couldn't quite understand, but it was good at letting go of its own thoughts; if it couldn't figure something out, it simply wouldn't think about it.

Zheng Xun patted its head and pointed to a tree to the side and behind it: "Go there and find the short one. She'll take care of you from now on."

Since Zheng Shi couldn't find anything to do anyway, he simply handed the monkey over to her to raise.

With Zheng Shi's hearing, he could hear those words clearly.

She looked at Zheng Jiu in disbelief, then pointed at herself and said, "No! Me?"

Zheng Jiu nodded sympathetically: "You're lucky. That monkey is like ten brats."

Zheng Shisheng lay limply on the tree branch, her body supple, hanging there as if dead. A monkey climbing the tree stumbled upon this scene and screamed in fright.
