389 Happy to See Me Beaten Up
He had expected that things would not go smoothly at Ding Nuo Academy.
However, he did not expect things to go so badly. They not only refused to sell the academy, but they also pointed fingers at Yan Qin and accused him of being rich and heartless. Seizing their academy with dirty methods? Not a chance!
Yan Qin looked at Yan Nuo angrily and shouted, “Why are you laughing!”
Is he still my good brother? How can he still laugh after watching them beat me up? He also watched as the brooms hit my head! He didn’t even help me and only watched me get beaten up!
“Are you happy to see me beaten up?” he asked.
“No.” Yan Nuo immediately stopped smiling and shook his head seriously.
He was indeed quite happy to see Yan Qin suffer. It would be strange if he was unhappy. After all, Yan Qin had the best martial arts skills among the four of them.
However, the other parties were old men in their 60s and literary scholars. They could not beat them up or scold them.
“Sigh.” Yan Qin exhaled heavily and looked at the closed door.
“Why didn’t you help say something just now? Maybe the dean will sell the school if we persuade him together?”
Yan Nuo rolled his eyes.
Will my persuasion be enough? We might not even get the school, but we’ll have another person beaten up!
Those old men were not just scaring Yan Qin off. They hit his face and body with the brooms, even making him scream.
“Don’t even think about it. They won’t sell it.”
“Why?” Yan Qin did not understand why they were unwilling to sell it.
“Look at how dilapidated the school is. Why don’t they renovate it? There are only a few dozen students in the school. Can they still run it?”
Yan Nuo shook his head. He really wanted to ask Yan Qin if he had understood the meaning behind his master’s last sentence.
“Yan Qin, have you investigated the background of Ding Nuo Academy?” he asked.
“Does such a lousy school have a background?” Yan Qin asked with a frown and a look of disdain.
You deserve to be disliked by Master, you fool. You don’t want to see him anymore, right?
He asked Yan Qin, “Did you leave your brain at home? How can they maintain the school without connections and with only a few students enrolling each year?”
“Well…” Yan Qin was stunned by his question.
He had yet to figure that out. Were the teachers rich and powerful?
“Yan Qin, think about what Master said last time. If you can’t buy the school, don’t go back to see him,” Yan Nuo reminded him before he could speak. “Do you really think Master is joking?”
“I—” Yan Qin’s expression changed.
Is there something going on here? Does Ding Nuo Academy really have a powerful background like Yan Nuo said?
And Master is already aware of it, but I couldn’t find any information on it. Is that why he’s angry?
“What should we do now?” he asked Yan Nuo.
“What else can we do? Let’s report back first. You can’t get this school anyway.” Yan Nuo shrugged.
He had no idea what to do. Their master must know something because he already knew that Ding Nuo Academy could not be purchased easily.
