Chapter 37: You’re Ungrateful

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If you can cut with a heavy sword, you are a master!

The moment these words appeared in Lu Ping’s mind, it seemed to give him a ray of hope.

Yes, the mission of the Acquired Sword Heart was to hone the body and spirit to the extreme.

Without a doubt, rigorous training would be the most effective.

At the same time, under this training mode, it was inevitable that Lu Ping would not be able to take care of Meng Fan’s other sword skills. After all, there was not much time left before the competition.

But if Meng Fan’s weapon was replaced with a heavy sword, it would be the best of both worlds.

However! The requirements for using a heavy sword weren’t low. It required a lot of strength. When wielding the heavy sword, one had to at least be able to keep up with the opponent’s speed. Otherwise, they would be treated as live targets!

Whether Meng Fan would succeed or not was still unknown!

Lu Ping didn’t know that at this moment, Meng Fan was being called to the corridor by Chen Mu.

Chen Mu crossed his arms, his lips curling into a cold smile.

Meng Fan lowered his head, his eyes flashing with anxiety, he didn’t know why Chen Mu had called him out alone.

“Huh! You’re good! You’re really good. You lost to me, so you went to find someone else to recommend you?” Chen Mu sneered. “Do you still think highly of me as a teacher?”

Meng Fan was a little scared and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Chen Mu reached out and pushed Meng Fan hard. “I’m asking you a question, don’t pretend to be mute here!”

Meng Fan said meekly, “I want to participate in the competition!”

“You want to participate in the competition? Didn’t I give you a chance? Now you’re asking for a recommendation from another teacher. What do you think will happen to my reputation?” Chen Mu’s voice was filled with anger.

This guy was really shameless. He himself was secretly biased towards Cao Yu, but at this moment, he could only reprimand Meng Fan in a self-righteous manner.

He was being two-faced. He gritted his teeth and said, “Tell me, you’ve been in my class for the past few years, how have I treated you? Aren’t you being ungrateful?”

This guy stood at the moral high ground and reprimanded Meng Fan.

Meng Fan was just a kid who hadn’t experienced much, so how would he know how to defend himself?

He even felt a sense of shame in his heart, as if he had done something wrong.

“I’m… I’m sorry, Mr. Chen:”

Chen Mu raised his voice. “So what if you’re sorry? Do you have to make me lose my good reputation to make you happy?”

His reputation was very important.

It was far more important than Meng Fan’s future.

Or rather, this was also a matter related to his future.

Chen Mu didn’t know what level Lu Ping was at, but everything had to be in case.

After all, Meng Fan’s strength wasn’t bad. If he really beat Cao Yu in the competition, he would really be embarrassing himself.

Chen Mu’s words left Meng Fan at a loss.

“Then what should I do?!”

“Go! Tell Lu Ping that you want to forfeit the competition!” Chen Mu was at his wit’s end!

He wanted Meng Fan to tell Lu Ping himself.

He didn’t want anyone else to hear.

Meng Fan’s expression was conflicted! He didn’t want to give up!

Especially after hearing Chen Mu say that Lu Ping had already recommended him, he was even more unwilling to give up.

But… he was still a kid after all.

Chen Mu’s words were like a knife stabbing into his heart.

‘Ungrateful! Without a conscience!’

He simply couldn’t take these words

“Okay! Mr. Chen, I’ll tell Mr. Lu after school that I’m not participating.” As Meng Fan spoke, he felt his heart clench in pain as tears streamed down his face.

Chen Mu laughed. “I didn’t force you to do this! Go back to class. With your grades, graduating isn’t a problem. The competition isn’t a must, so why be distracted? Even if you participate, you might not get good grades, right?”

Meng Fan grunted and returned to the classroom like a zombie.

He didn’t even know how he had spent the day.

He had lost his chance, gained hope, and lost it again.

The day’s continuous turnover had exhausted his tender heart.

Until the end of the night, Meng Fan waited quietly at the place where he had met Lu Ping in the morning.

Even though he hadn’t spent much time with Lu Ping, he had a deep feeling that Lu Ping was much better than Chen Mu.

“Did you tell your family? You might be late today!” Lu Ping’s voice rang in his ear, and Meng Fan came back to his senses.

Lu Ping was very happy!

He had already prepared the black metal sword!

To cultivators, black metal was just a normal metal. A large heavy sword cost Lu Ping 70 star dollars!

The materials were more than adequate, and it was custom-made, so it was much more expensive than a normal long sword.

Meng Fan lowered his head and said with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Mr. Lu, I can’t participate in the competition!”

“Huh?” Hearing this news, Lu Ping frowned slightly and asked, “Why?”

“I can’t be ungrateful, I can’t have no conscience… I can’t let Mr. Chen down!”

As Meng Fan spoke, tears continued to run down his face.

“Don’t cry yet, tell me what’s going on?” Lu Ping asked.

Meng Fan mumbled to himself about Chen Mu looking for him.

Lu Ping was furious when he heard this, he said angrily, “Don’t listen to his bullsh*t! How could you be ungrateful and have no conscience? He’s a cultivation instructor at Qingzhou University, so it’s natural for him to teach you things with his salary. You didn’t come here for free, didn’t your family tell you?”

“You’re participating in the competition, what’s there to be ungrateful about? First, you didn’t say anything wrong about him, and second, you didn’t go to the principal to complain. So it’s not your fault?”

Meng Fan’s eyes were filled with confusion.

In the young man’s heart, many things were difficult to judge correctly.

In the dark, Huang Xiaoqi was secretly watching.

She noticed that Lu Ping hadn’t left school, so she secretly followed him.

Lu Ping looked at the hesitant and confused Meng Fan in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Of course it is. If you don’t believe me, you can go home and ask your family first. See what their opinions are!”

The opinions of family members were always very important in a person’s life.

Especially when a person was still a teenager, without enough judgment, the influence of those close to them would often be great.

Lu Ping knew very well that this was only the second time he had met Meng Fan, but Chen Mu had already taught Meng Fan for many years. Whether it was distant relatives or close relatives, or influence, he probably couldn’t compare to that guy.

That was the reason.

He had already said it clearly, but Meng Fan was still hesitating.

“Okay! Then I’ll call my sister right now!” As Meng Fan spoke, he took out his phone.

He dialed a number. “Hello… sis, it’s like this…” Meng Fan began to explain everything.

After he finished, he looked at Lu Ping and said, “My sister is waiting for me at the school gate. She said she’ll be here soon!”
