Chapter 322 Someone Has Ideas: A Well-Intentioned Warning (3)_1
"Indeed, though we may be useless, we also understand the meaning of ’laying down the pen to join the ranks’! If Great Chu were truly in need of us, we too would grasp our swords and go to battle to slay the enemy!" Student B was also dissatisfied, clearly feeling underestimated by the middle-aged man.
"Good! Well said. A true man should shoulder his responsibility. What skill is there in relying on others for protection!" At another table, a burly man stood up, looking approvingly at the students.
"Yes, well said!"
In the hall, many people began to applaud. When survival was at stake, who could remain indifferent, who didn’t rely on themselves?
Although Mo Yan was a woman, she also possessed the heart of a loyal subject. Hearing these words, she too felt a surge of emotion and silently cheered them on.
The middle-aged man initially stood his ground and retorted a few times, but with many spirited young students in the hall, each one verbally assaulting him turn by turn, it wasn’t long before he was drowned out by their collective voices.
"Hmph, I—I can’t be bothered with you poor students. If you’re so capable, go fight on the battlefield yourself!"
Unexpectedly, saying just a bit too much caused him to lose face. Seeing that many regarded him with scornful stares, the middle-aged man shouted this sentence and, having lost face, couldn’t continue sitting and hurriedly left after throwing silver on the table.
With their ’target’ gone and a few comments from the crowd, the minor incident passed.
