Minister Jia had already felt inclined to help, but upon hearing his own student so anxious, he glared sternly, "Out! Have all the rules you've learned every day gone to the dogs?"
These ungrateful boys, having just met someone and after hearing a few words, are already won over and speaking on behalf of an outsider. What an accomplishment. Go out and don't even say you're my student; I'm embarrassed to claim you."
It was all in vain, teaching these boys for so many years. Do I look like someone who would bully others?!
The student who had wanted to enter immediately recoiled, Minister Jia was too intimidating, every glare made their hearts panic. Not knowing Minister Jia's character when they first entered the Imperial Academy, a single glare from him could cause nightmares at night.
Although he backed away, he still stubbornly lingered at the doorway, unwilling to depart.
