90: The backbone of Mingchuan Middle School is not afraid of war or cowardice

He had just made his move when the Principal called out to him.

"Wait!"

"Alright, Feng Lang, let go!"

As he said this, Feng Lang's eyes suddenly turned slightly red, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I won't let go!"

"Principal, you can't agree!"

"I don't know what background this student Shen Mo has!"

"But Mingchuan Middle School has been able to hold on until now precisely because we haven't opened the Martial Artist Inheritance Tower and haven't supported other schools challenging us!"

"Otherwise, our Mingchuan Middle School would have been gone long ago!"

"Principal, although our Mingchuan Middle School is dilapidated, it's the only place where people with low aptitudes like us can enroll!"

"Don't open it!"

As he said this, he immediately glared at Shen Mo.

He had originally thought it was a naive big fish, but as soon as he arrived, he almost overturned their entire school. If he had known, he wouldn't have been greedy for that small amount of funding and let him enroll!

Thinking this, Feng Lang pounded his chest in frustration.

He wished he could go back a few minutes in time and beat himself to death.

Even if Shen Mo was a big shot now, it couldn't stop him from feeling annoyed with him!

And as he spoke, the bespectacled Principal on the other side sighed deeply, saying, "Feng Lang, you are a good child."

He slowly took off his glasses, carefully wiped the dust from them, and said, "Mingchuan has held on for so many years, it's almost at its limit."

"Just now, I was still struggling with Mingchuan's funding issues for this year."

"You should know that Mingchuan can always refuse challenges from other schools."

"But correspondingly, Mingchuan also cannot receive allocations and subsidies from the Martial Arts Education Department."

"I know you are all good children and have always wanted to find a way to solve Mingchuan's financial burden."

"But going on like this is really not a solution."

"It's rare for student Shen Mo to be willing to bear the entire school's resource consumption."

"This is a rare good opportunity for you."

As he said this, he smiled gently at Shen Mo, saying, "Student Shen Mo, I'm sorry to have let you witness a farce."

"However, I still want to tell you honestly."

"Our school's allocation from the Martial Arts Education Department is almost zero."

"If you want to learn martial arts, you must bear all the costs yourself."

"These children have average aptitudes, but their character is not bad."

"If you are going to open a martial arts class, I implore you to take them along."

"Of course, this is a request, not a demand."

"Mingchuan Middle School has existed for a very long time."

He smiled slightly as he said, "After this year, it might cease to exist."

"So, this old man can still work hard for you."

"Of course, if you are unwilling, that's fine too."

"Because your coming to our Mingchuan Middle School was probably just an accident."

The bespectacled Principal's expression was very calm.

They say old people are shrewd.

He knew exactly what was going on with Shen Mo.

If the other party was willing to study at their Mingchuan Middle School, he would owe him a favor, and if there was an opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay it.

But if Shen Mo was unwilling, he wouldn't force him.

After all, Mingchuan Middle School indeed didn't have much advantage or appeal to attract Shen Mo to enroll.

With his resources and conditions, finding a relatively good middle school to enroll in Qingyu City would be very simple.

Therefore, the Principal did not deceive Shen Mo out of his own selfish desires, thinking of tricking him in first.

On the other side, Shen Mo was also a little surprised.

To be honest, his previous desire to enter Mingchuan Middle School was half out of spite.

After all, it was the same no matter which school he attended.

Choosing the worst one could even infuriate the people from Xinghai Middle School!

And the poor teaching conditions at Mingchuan Middle School were not a problem for him.

He had plenty of resources.

But the Principal's words had somewhat moved him.

So, he was taken in not because of his resources, but because of students like Feng Lang?

Shen Mo looked thoughtfully at Feng Lang beside him.

The latter lowered his head slightly, his eyes a little red, without the cunning and smug look he had at the school gate when he called Shen Mo 'brother,' as if this was his true self.

So, when the other party 'conscripted' him at the school gate just now, it was purely to solicit 'sponsorship' for Mingchuan Middle School?

They must have done such things often, and received no small amount of contempt, disdain, and curses from others, right?

Did the other party truly not see the relationship between him and Min Hang, or did he deliberately pretend not to see it?

Interesting!

Shen Mo's lips curved slightly.

He was starting to like the atmosphere here!

Originally, he just wanted to find a school to muddle through, and incidentally annoy the people from Xinghai Middle School, slap their faces, and fleece them, but now, Shen Mo was getting serious.

"Alright!"

He readily agreed, saying to the bespectacled Principal, "I'll cover all the resources for Mingchuan Middle School."

"However, I have a question I want to ask the Principal."

"If I offend someone from Xinghai Middle School, and they want to ask you, or pressure you, to expel me as a student."

"What will you do?"

"They might suppress the people of Mingchuan Middle School and target you."

"Once the Martial Artist Inheritance Tower opens, they might swarm in to challenge and deal with you."

"Can you... bear it?"

Or will you hand me over?

Shen Mo crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for the Principal's answer.

He had agreed to the Principal's request.

Now, it was up to the Principal's own choice.

"The backbone of Mingchuan Middle School was not broken during the early stages of the Spiritual Qi Resurgence, and it won't be now!"

To Shen Mo's surprise, the Principal didn't even hesitate, giving a resolute answer directly.

"We sealed the Martial Artist Inheritance Tower not because we feared challenges, but because we didn't want this last school, which carries the hopes of low-aptitude students, to close."

"As long as it exists for one day, those low-aptitude students still have hope."

"But if... it's gone."

"Then in this world, basically no one will recruit students below D-grade aptitude anymore."

The Principal's voice was gentle, without self-pity or indignation, simply stating the facts, "Student Shen Mo, you are very fortunate to have the Shen Family behind you."

"But not everyone is like you, with a powerful family background!"

As he said this, he stated resolutely, "The people of Mingchuan Middle School do not fear battle, nor do they shrink from it!"

"For Mingchuan's honor!" Feng Lang suddenly said in a low voice at this moment.

And Shen Mo immediately smiled.

"Good!"
