School of the Divine Condor!
Inside the Dean’s hall sat four associate deans and eighteen
instructors, a total of twenty-three of them.
The dean sat on the master seat. He was already 300 years old, his long
and white goatie already reaching to his chest, even his brows were also down
to his chin. He was, after all 310 years old, several fold of a normal person’s
life span.

His foggy-looking eyes scanned across everybody there. Truth be told,
none of these present were young. Even the youngest one there was close to 100,
but he was still a youngster in the eyes of the dean nonetheless. The only ones
there were close to his age were the four old men that cultivate behind closed
doors perennially.
The dean of School of Divine Condor rarely got involved with actual
matters concerning the school anymore. Most of the matters have been handled by
the four associate deans with the assistance from the eighteen instructors.
This was the second time the dean had summoned everyone for a meeting
within the last few months. This was almost unheard of in the past several
years; normally nobody even saw the dean for a year or two at a time.
Now he had summoned everyone again. Naturally, the ones present could
more or less figure out the purpose of the meeting.
“Associate dean Shen, why don’t you explain the situation to everyone
here?” asked the dean nonchalantly.
Associate dean Shen dare not delay a second. He immediately cupped his
hands at the dean and started recounting to everyone what had transpired at the
Cheng’s.
If anyone from the Cheng’s was there right now, they’d recognize the man
as the associate dean who brought his students to provide free labors for the
Cheng’s.
He recounted all the events in great details; he neither cast their own
as the “good guys” in the stories, nor did he exaggerate anything to make the
Cheng’s out as evil people.
Nobody spoke a word after listening to his recounting of the events. As
for whether the Cheng’s had gone too far, or that they asked for it themselves,
they knew the answer in their minds.
Right now, whether they should go pick fight with the Cheng’s to
preserve their face or just swallow their pride and let this one go, that was
the question they wanted to consult the dean about.
If they were to go off of their normal set of principles, the reputation
of the school was definitely the single most important thing. So theoretically,
they’d go an make sure the wrongs have been right; and by that, they mean their
face (reputation).
“Associate Dean Shen, thank you for your great work!” The dean started
by praising Associate Dean Shen.
Associate Dean Shen was flattered and he quickly replied, “Dean, Cheng
Biyuan was once a student of our school. In addition, Ning Xunzong and his lot
had gone a bit far in this. The Cheng’s reaction wasn’t entirely unreasonable!”
The dean casted a glance at him. His look did not change much and still
looking as indifferent as usual. As he scanned across the others in the room,
they immediately felt a burning sensation on their face, as though they had
been burned by fire.
“Anyone else has anything else to add?” The dean was as nonchalant as
normal but his words gave everyone chills.
“Hrm,” hrmphed the dean when nobody responded. Everybody just felt as though
a thunder had hit next to their years, “I have only been gone from running the
matters of this school for a few years, little do I know that the students of
our school had deteriorated so much. All the students that I have left to you
had turned into robbers and bandits. How are you going to face all your
predecessors of this school in the future?
“Do you still remember our guiding principles of benevolence, wisdom, propriety,
truthfulness, music, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, morality, and righteousness.
Do you still remember their meanings? Why can’t I see a trace of them in our
students? Do none of you possess these anymore?”
“Dean, we were wrong!”
