Chapter 2453: Extra - The Seal of the Mountain-Dweller Scholar


When Shu Yu walked onto the bridge, she happened to see Senior Brother Qiao opening the painting.


For some reason, a bad premonition flashed in her mind.


The next moment, she heard the scholar Gao laughing heartily, "Is this your painting? Everyone, take a good look at it. What has she painted? It's all colorful balls."


People crowded around to see and couldn't help but chuckle.


Senior Brother Qiao and Senior Brother Yan were momentarily silent as they were thinking of how to explain. Suddenly, they heard two gasps.


"This seal, this seal..."


Seal? What seal?


Senior Brother Qiao couldn't help but glance at the seal. The first seal he saw was the one belonging to the Mountain-Dweller Scholar. The second seal...


He widened his eyes, why was the Mountain-Dweller Scholar's seal on it? How did the Master Shanju's seal end up here?


The scholar Gao also noticed and immediately questioned, "You, this little girl, you're so young yet you're involved in such deceptive activities. You even dare to forge Master Shanju's seal. Aren't you afraid of being criticized when this gets out?"


"You shut up. You don't know anything, yet you curse others like that. Do you have any dignity as a scholar?" Senior Brother Yan immediately retorted.


"You..."


Scholar Gao sneered, "Then tell me, where did this seal come from?"


"This seal is genuine," Senior Brother Qiao affirmed confidently. Mengmeng was still so young, she wouldn't have forged any seals. Moreover, the people around her wouldn't do such a thing, whether it was the headmaster or the County Princess. None of them were unaware of the gravity of this matter.


So, this seal was definitely genuine.


Senior Brother Qiao crouched down again and asked in a low voice to control his excitement, "Meng Meng, do you know the Mountain Dweller Scholar?"


"What Mountain Dweller Scholar?"


Senior Brother Qiao pointed at the Mountain-Dwelling Scholar's seal, "This seal, who stamped it?"


"I did," Mengmeng said proudly.


Senior Brother Qiao asked again, "Then where did you get this seal from?"


"My daddy," Mengmeng raised her chest and said, "Both of these seals were in my daddy's drawer. Daddy said I could use them as I pleased. He loves me the most."


Senior Brother Yan's hands were trembling, and the others were equally astonished. Someone asked, "Who is your daddy?"


"My daddy is the Headmaster."


Headmaster? Which headmaster? Where was he from?


Wait a minute.


Everyone looked at Senior Brother Qiao and Senior Brother Yan. If they remembered correctly, these two seemed to be students from Zenglu Academy, and they had just referred to this little girl as their Junior Sister?


So, when this little girl mentioned her daddy as the headmaster, did she mean Meng Yunzheng, the head of Zenglu Academy?


What did they hear? Did Meng Yunzheng really have Master Shanju's seal in his drawer and let his daughter play with it?


Perhaps they would suspect that the little girl had asked someone to forge the seal just to play with it, like Scholar Gao. However, they would never suspect that Meng Yunzheng would forge a seal.


This was the legendary top scholar who passed the imperial examination with top honors and willingly resigned from office. He was the young headmaster who established a school and produced several Jinshi scholars within three years.


What would such a person want to do with forging Master Shanju's seal? Was there any need?


There was no need!


So, there was only one truth.


This girl's father, the head of Zenglu Academy, the renowned top scholar who had scored the top in six examinations just four years ago, was none other than the long-famous Mountain Dweller Scholar, the one whose paintings were worth a fortune and who hadn't produced any artwork for several years!
