Chapter 331 We can't let ourselves be bullied for nothing

Especially during class, their attitude was extremely perfunctory. For example, even the most talented person in the academy would need to practice for half a day to master a certain formula in the book, but their substitute teacher directly required them to master it in class.

Such a difficult formula, given such a short time, was naturally impossible for anyone to complete. The substitute teacher used this as an excuse to scold them for not studying hard and not paying attention in class, and berated them for a long time.

Thinking of the disgusted and hateful expression on the substitute teacher's face back then, Lin Shao couldn't help but say, "If the dean of the academy hadn't explicitly stipulated that teachers couldn't lay a hand on students, that teacher might have just beaten us up."

Moreover, even without directly physically assaulting them, the substitute teacher still punished them by making them stand in a horse stance under the scorching sun for several hours, while constantly mocking them.

Even though they were physically fit, they almost couldn't hold on after being punished for so long. If it weren't for the fact that they were still students, they would have wanted to fight the substitute teacher directly.

Moreover, if they took action, it would cause trouble for Teacher Chen, and might even lead to Teacher Chen being punished when he returned, so they held back.

This was just one of the many bad things the substitute teacher had done to them. However, in front of other students, teachers, and the dean, the substitute teacher would pretend to be a good teacher and feign concern for them, while privately he would speak ill of them. As a result, the substitute teacher had a good reputation in the college, while they, the students, were seen as bad students who did not know how to be considerate of their teachers.

After hearing this, Chen Feng's expression turned ugly. Although these students were initially forced upon him by the dean, he took them very seriously and cared about them after they became his students. After all, they were his students, and Chen Feng kept them in his heart.

Hearing that his students were being treated this way, Chen Feng was immediately displeased.

Lin Shao added, "Especially before we left, the substitute teacher asked us to go to a place to find something, but for us to go was almost like sending ourselves to our deaths. It was then that we realized that the substitute teacher not only hated us, but even wanted us to die."

“But if we tell anyone, no one will believe us, including the dean, because the substitute teachers usually present such a good image that no one will believe what we say.” Lin Shao sighed and said, “That’s why we couldn’t stand it and made up an excuse to leave the academy.”

"Our trip to Luoyang was a coincidence, but we never expected to run into Teacher Chen by chance."

"Is this how that substitute teacher treated you?" Chen Feng's tone was cold. Chen Feng didn't know that there could be such a terrible teacher in the world, so terrible that he couldn't even be called a teacher anymore, because what teacher would treat his students like that?

Before leaving, Chen Feng knew that some teachers in schools abused students, and such incidents were often reported. Although this substitute teacher did not physically abuse students, his actions were similar to those of other teachers, and perhaps even worse.

Chen Feng said, "You are my students. As my students, it would be a disgrace to me to let you be bullied like this."

"Don't worry, when I get back I will definitely go and talk to that substitute teacher for you."

Since that substitute teacher treated his students this way, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't take it lightly.

Moreover, her behavior towards these students went beyond mere abuse. The thought of his students being bullied like this while he was away made Chen Feng want to return all the corporal punishment they had suffered to that substitute teacher.

Chen Feng said, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

The five of them lowered their heads and said embarrassedly, "We were worried that Teacher Chen would think we were making a mountain out of a molehill."

Chen Feng said helplessly, "Is this really how you all see me?"

"No, no," Lin Junyuan said obsequiously. "Professor Chen has always been seen as incredibly wise and insightful in our hearts. But, Professor Chen, when do you plan to return to the academy?"

Chen Feng originally planned to return to the academy after some time, but after learning that his student had been abused like this, he brought forward his return date. He wanted to see why the substitute teacher was bullying his student like this, and whether he could bully his student like this just because Chen Feng was not at the academy.

Chen Feng said, "After I finish dealing with my business in Luoyang, I will return to the academy with you."

"Really?" Lin Shao looked very happy.

Chen Feng laughed, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Weren't we getting a little too excited?" Lin Shao chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait for Teacher Chen to finish dealing with things in Luoyang and come back to support us."

"Teacher Chen is so kind."

Chen Feng: "My students, of course, cannot be bullied like this."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Lin Shao and the other four were deeply moved and felt fortunate to be assigned to Chen Feng's class.

Initially, because Chen Feng was a new teacher and very young, some of the students who were assigned to his class were quite unwilling. Compared to the more experienced teachers, Chen Feng was so young, and some even secretly spoke ill of him behind his back.

However, after a period of contact, Chen Feng's abilities won them over. Moreover, Chen Feng was different from the teachers in other classes. He not only guided them in their daily cultivation but also helped them in their lives. Those who were dissatisfied with being assigned to Chen Feng's class gradually changed their attitude towards Chen Feng from dissatisfaction and dislike to relief and gratitude.

Moved, the five exchanged glances and earnestly said to Chen Feng, "Teacher Chen, don't worry, we will definitely cultivate diligently to repay you."

Looking at the five young faces, Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You can talk about repaying me when you become more powerful than me."

The five of them choked on their words. Lin Shao looked at Chen Feng with resentment and said, "Teacher Chen, don't be so discouraging."

As students, they had the most direct experience of how amazing Chen Feng was, and they knew that Chen Feng was definitely even more amazing than he appeared. Surpassing Chen Feng... was something they could only dream about.

"Professor Chen, what do you need to take care of in Luoyang? Is there anything we can do for you?"

Chen Feng said, "No need. I'm only dealing with personal matters in Luoyang. There's nothing I need your help with."

Seeing their disappointed looks, Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll let you know if I need any help."
