However, having come here specifically to expose the other party, if she really got angry and turned to leave now, wouldn’t that just be playing into their hands?
Maybe this guy just wanted to drive her away, so his lies wouldn’t be exposed.
I absolutely can’t let you get your way!
“Hmph, at worst I’ll admit fault for now. Once I expose your true colors, just wait and see how I deal with you!”
With this thought, Emily Clark forcibly suppressed her anger, gave a slight smile, revealing her white teeth: “Please don’t blame me, teacher. It was I who was rude! I sincerely wish to become your student, please accept me!”
“That’s more like it!” Seeing her attitude change, Michael Bolton finally nodded. “If you want to be my student, that’s fine. Clean this room thoroughly—I don’t want to see a speck of dust. Also, tidy up the restroom outside and scrub the toilet clean. I’ll inspect it, and if I’m satisfied, I’ll accept you as my student!”
“Don’t push it too far…”
Emily Clark was on the verge of losing it.
Who was she? The city lord’s daughter, a pampered young lady who had never done any chores in her life, and this guy actually wanted her to clean? And… tidy up the restroom? Scrub the toilet?
Are you out of your mind?
“If you can’t even handle such a simple task, then leave. I don’t want lazy or useless people under me!” Michael Bolton waved his hand.
Heh, little girl, you want to play games with me? You’re still too green!
“Who says I’m useless? I’ll clean right now, I’ll scrub right now!” Emily Clark gritted her teeth, turned around, and fetched a broom and mop, starting to clean the room.
“Emily Clark, maybe we should just forget it…”
“I think he really might be useless and is just making things hard for you…”
The two friends who had come with her were both shocked to see the dignified city lord’s daughter actually cleaning, and hurried to persuade her.
“You two wait outside. I, Emily Clark, have never suffered a loss in my life. Today, I’m going to go head-to-head with him!” Emily Clark raised her eyebrows.
“This…”
The two friends, knowing Emily Clark’s temper, saw that they couldn’t persuade her and looked at each other helplessly, not knowing what to do.
“Let’s go inform Mr. Bennett. Didn’t he come too? If Mr. Bennett finds out that a guy who ranked last in the teacher assessment is making the young lady scrub toilets, he’ll definitely step in to stop it!”
After exchanging glances for a moment, one friend came up with an idea.
With Emily Clark’s status, even though there was no real danger in coming to the academy, there was still someone assigned to escort her, and that person was Mr. Bennett, who should still be around.
“Alright, let’s go find him now!”
The two immediately agreed, didn’t hesitate, and turned to head out of the academy.
With her stubborn temper, even though Emily Clark had never done any chores before and was a bit clumsy at first, it didn’t take long for her to get the hang of it. Soon, both the room and the restroom outside were spotless, even the toilet was sparkling clean.
“Not bad!” Michael Bolton nodded in satisfaction.
“Is it good enough now? Can you accept me as your student and give me some guidance?”
After finishing the chores, Emily Clark gritted her teeth so hard they made a “crack crack” sound, her delicate face twisted, afraid she might lose control and hit this guy.
“Alright, let’s verify your identity!”
As if he hadn’t noticed the look in her eyes that wished to skin him alive, Michael Bolton casually tossed over a jade token.
Taking a deep breath, Emily Clark dripped blood on it to recognize it as her own, confirming her identity.
“Mr. Bolton, I’m your student now. Can you give me some pointers?”
Seeing her goal achieved and that she was about to expose this scoundrel’s true face, Emily Clark suppressed her excitement and spoke.
“Show me a set of martial arts moves first, let me see how your basics are!” Michael Bolton waved his hand.
“Yes!”
Without another word, Emily Clark cupped her fists and began to perform a set of punches.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The wind whistled, her moves were powerful and swift. As a fellow woman, she was even faster and stronger than Jessica Miller, clearly having put in a lot of effort.
While watching her perform, Michael Bolton mentally connected with the library in his mind. As expected, the library trembled slightly, and a book fell down.
On the cover were the words “Emily Clark”.
“Emily Clark, daughter of the City Lord of White Jade City, Martial Artist Level One, Peak of Gathering Breath Realm!”
“Cultivation Technique: White Jade Pure Maiden Art!”
……
“Flaws: Twenty-seven in total. First, impulsive and quick-tempered, which goes against the smooth and harmonious nature of the White Jade Art, preventing her from displaying her full strength; second…”
The book, just like before, recorded all the mistakes and flaws in Emily Clark’s cultivation.
As he read, Michael Bolton’s expression grew strange.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, Emily Clark finished her set of punches, clenched her pink fists, and struck the stone wall in the classroom used for strength testing!
With a crisp sound, a number appeared.
110!
“Not bad, not bad!” Michael Bolton couldn’t help but nod.
She hadn’t even started formal academy training, yet could already punch with such force. As the city lord’s daughter, Emily Clark truly was extraordinary.
“Alright, now give me some guidance!”
Having finished her martial arts set, Emily Clark looked over, not even out of breath or flushed.
Chapter 6: What Did You Do to Our Young Lady?
Having done everything she needed to, Emily Clark was determined to make this guy look bad!
With a thought, a recording jade crystal appeared in her sleeve.
