Chapter 13 Rumors
The next morning, Luo Er dressed with the help of a personal maid who had been with him for a long time. He looked through the window at Shalan who was training with Hasid outside, and said to the butler, Old Berman, who was standing behind him: "Berman, do you know what happened last night ?"
Bowing slightly, Old Berman replied, "I already know, Lord Earl."
"So what do you think?"
"From a certain perspective, I think last night was a good thing. At least I saw Master Shalan's bloodiness as a teenager and his decisiveness as a nobleman."
"Yeah, I think so too. Although Shalan was hit on the head and it was dangerous, he has become more sensible since then. Not only has he become more studious, but his personality has also become much more decisive. He is no longer the same as before. I have heard from others that there is a great terror between life and death, which can change a person. Now it seems to be true."
After Luo Er finished speaking, he looked at his clothes in front of the mirror. When he was sure that there was no problem with the clothes, he nodded and continued to say to Old Berman, "Berman, let's put Shalan's matter aside for now. I want you to deal with the servants in this family for me. I haven't asked about them for a long time. These servants have begun to deceive the future earl's heir. No matter who wants them to do it, these servants can no longer be used. Do you understand?"
"Excuse me, Lord Earl, to what extent do you want to achieve this?"
"The people of the Werman family must naturally be controlled by the Werman family. It cannot be anyone else, and naturally it cannot be someone from the Franklin family. Those who do not conform to the rules and are not loyal to our Werman family, please ask them to leave the Werman Manor together."
"I understand." Nodding slightly, old Berman turned and left.
At this time, Roll turned his head and looked out the window again. He looked at Shalan who was training on the training ground, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
…
After getting off the bus, Shalan walked into the school with his schoolbag. At present, his body can only carry out basic training at most. Fortunately, the medicinal bath prepared by Hasid was really good. It could relieve fatigue to the greatest extent and promote physical development and recovery. Otherwise, Shalan felt that he would not be able to persist in this high-intensity training for long.
When he arrived at the school, the first class was natural science. Shalan took out his book and started to prepare in advance. But while he was reading, Shalan vaguely saw some classmates in the class secretly looking at him and whispering seemed that what those people were talking about was about him.
Shalan frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on. At this moment, Du Luo came in from outside. He sat next to Shalan, looked her up and down, and said in surprise, "Shalan, you are really able to keep your composure."
Listening to Du Luo's words, Shalan concluded that something had happened that was related to him, but he didn't know about it. As a result, it seemed that everyone knew about him, but he himself was kept in the dark. To be honest, Shalan didn't think this feeling was very good.
"Duro, what happened?"
"You really don't know? Since yesterday afternoon after school, word has gradually spread in our circle that you are pursuing Teacher Ailan.
You have to know that this is Teacher Ailan. It is said that she has an impressive background, so people in the circle in Cynthia City dare not mess with her.
So when this news came out, you became famous. This matter has been fermenting all night, and it seems to be getting worse and worse. But I really admire you. You are actually going to start dating Teacher Ailan. You are really a role model for us!"
Frowning, Sha Lan said to Du Luo: "If I tell you that I don't want to... hook up with Teacher Ai Lan, would you believe it?"
Looking at Shalan, Du Luo shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!"
"Then I have no choice. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise. I can only say that this rumor is too ridiculous."
"So when you went to see Teacher Ailan after class yesterday, you didn't really ask her about that language, did you?"
"of course it's true."
"Do not believe."
“…”
A natural science class ended with the chattering of students below. When the teacher announced the end of get out of class helplessly, the whole classroom became noisy again.
However, it didn't take long before the noise starting from the corridor outside the classroom gradually subsided until the entire classroom was quiet. Ailan walked slowly into the classroom with textbooks and lesson plans. Although she still had her usual beautiful smile on her face, every student who saw her had a feeling that if they really provoked Ailan today, the consequences would be something they would not be able to bear.
Not long after, the bell for class rang, and Ailan began her lecture as usual. Slowly, with Ailan's usual performance, the students in the classroom gradually relaxed and returned to their original state, whether it was asking questions or making small movements after class, everything returned to normal.
The class ended quickly. After the bell rang, Ailan walked to Shalan's desk, tapped it gently, and whispered, "Shalan, come to my office with me. I have something to tell you."
After saying that, Ailan walked straight out of the classroom, while Shalan stood up under the gaze of her classmates and followed Ailan out of the classroom.
The moment Ailan and Shalan left the classroom, the students in the class started talking loudly. However, to Ailan and Shalan, those voices seemed to not exist at all and did not affect them at all.
One after another , under the gaze of the students in the corridor, Ailan and Shalan walked into the office one after another. Shalan did not close the office door, but walked straight to Ailan's desk.
Looking at Shalan standing next to the desk, Ailan said directly: "Shalan, there are rumors in school now that you are pursuing me. I want to ask you, are those rumors true?"
"Of course it's fake."
"But in other people's mouths, you are a person who is fully capable of doing such a thing. Although it is not good to believe one side of the story, I must admit that I do have some doubts about you."
Listening to Ailan's words, Shalan sighed helplessly. The original Shalan was indeed a person who could do these things. Strictly speaking, it was not slandering him. It was just that he really didn't have those ideas this time. Shalan didn't want Ailan, the teacher who had helped him, to misunderstand him.
After thinking for a while, Shalan came up with an idea. He looked at Ailan and said to her in the Mansi-English language that he had just started learning yesterday: "Teacher, knowledge is the only direction I pursue."
