Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a long while, Tang Chuan managed to calm himself down and smile.

“Other than my wife, I really mind the smell of other women. Look, I’m sneezing.” Chu Heng coughed lightly and pretended to sneeze. However, he spoke rudely and was unwilling to pretend.

As expected, Tang Chuan could not maintain his smile anymore. He immediately revealed his anger and glared at Tang Chuan. “Chu Heng, you…” Before he could finish his sentence, a stern voice sounded from behind. “Tang Chuan, Ah Heng, which one of you let a girl in?”

Tang Chuan’s expression changed slightly when he heard the voice, and the words got stuck in his throat.

Chu Heng was very calm. He turned to the middle-aged man in a long robe who walked over with an unfriendly expression and cupped his hands.

“Teacher Zhang.”

“Teacher Zhang.” Tang Chuan bowed as well, but his voice was much softer.

The person who came was the dean of the academy, Zhang Yue. He was also the only High Scholar in Nanchang County other than the county magistrate. His position in the county was very important.

As for Zhang Yue, he was a natural mysophobe and had a strong personality. He disliked the appearance of any women in the academy. Even the maids who cooked were not allowed to have any rouge on them.

Although he also had mysophobia toward men, he was not as strict.

As a result, the students in the school did not dare to have the fragrance on their bodies, especially not to be discovered by Zhang Yue.

Tang Chuan did not expect his luck to be so bad. He bumped into Zhang Yue, and the fragrance on his body was so strong that one could not ignore it. Chu Heng cupped his hands indifferently. “Replying to Teacher Zhang, I just went to see my wife.”

Chu Heng was so honest that he even wanted to take the blame for Tang Chuan. Tang Chuan was stunned for a moment, but he quietly stepped back and did nit say anything. Since Chu Heng was so stupid to take the blame on him, he would not be polite and accept his ‘goodness’.

Tang Chuan thought about Chu Heng’s stupidity and a smug smile flashed across his eyes.

Chu Heng noticed the change in his actions and expression. A mocking smile flashed across his face, but he did not say anything else.

When Zhang Yue heard Chu Heng’s reply, his expression became much better. “If you have classes, go back to class. Don’t waste time.” “Yes.” Chu Heng bowed and turned to leave.

Tang Chuan’s evil smile fell into Zhang Yue’s eyes.

Tang Chuan’s expression changed slightly when he noticed that there was no one in front of him. He looked up and saw Zhang Yue’s dark expression. “Tang Chuan, you’ve violated the academy’s rules and have to take the Class B exam this afternoon.”

Tang Chuan’s expression changed drastically. He quickly said, “Teacher…”

Zhang Yue did not even give him a chance to speak. He snorted angrily and left.

Tang Chuan’s body trembled as he gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred.

The assessment for Class B was once every two years. After passing the assessment, they would be promoted to Class A. The teachers of Class A were more knowledgeable. If they wanted to pursue an official career, there was no student who did not want to enter Class A.

Normally, if they failed the assessment, they could still stay in Class B. Unless they failed three times in a row, they would be demoted to Class C.

If they violated the rules, they would be promoted to Class A if they passed, and demoted to Class C if they failed.

As for Class C, Tang Chuan had been in this school for so many years. He knew that Class C was similar to the village school. He wanted to take the exam, so he could not be treated like trash and thrown into Class C.

He had not thought that he would just casually help Tang Rou and improve Chu Heng and Tang Rou’s relationship. He knew that Chu Heng was very resourceful. He had earned quite a bit of money by privately publishing books. In short, he had a lot of ways to earn money..
