Reaching the end of the steps and arriving at the divine avenue; apart fro the envoys froulfed with the sounds of chatter The woods on both sides of the avenue were tee to directly stand on the divine avenue
There were also teachers froe, Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green and Tey members from the main palace had come to join the crowds as onlookers The reason for this bustle, was naturally, due to the words of Tang Thirty-Six fro
The clergyroup was not of a low position within Li Palace, upon seeing this chaotic scene, he frowned his eyebrows and gave out a few quiet words of ad to maintain some semblance of order; the teachers drove off students who had wanted to block the advance of Chen Chang Sheng’s group and had them stand by the side of the avenue
As Chen Chang Sheng and the other two youths walked along the divine avenue, hundreds or st the woods on both sides of the avenue fell upon them, this scene was very si; but this tiazes were filled with scorn and disdain A student fro, if you’ve got the guts then don’t run away!”
This was obviously directed to the words of Tang Thirty-Six frohter fro Thirty-Six’s character, he was loath to continue yman, he decided it was best not to draw any further trouble for their school and only angrily said: “I really hate being called Tang Tang”
Seeing Tang Thirty-Six having to endure their taunts, the students felt elated They knew that the cold-looking clergyman was strict and thus no one dared to intrude upon the divine avenue, but they used the opportunity to continue hurling verbal abuse towards Orthodox Academy
“Apart frohness, what else can you do by yourself?”
“If it wasn’t for Her Highness’ arrangeo down those steps?”
“Not necessarily, he can still take out his e vow to use as a shi+eld”
“That’s right, the fiancé of Xu You Rong, ould dare to offend hiue
Continuous insults flew out from both sides of the divine avenue, filled with conte ould dare to offend; until it finally turned to jeers that called hier
Tang Thirty-Six’s expression becahtly dipped his head and continued forwards, with both hands in his sleeves, akin to not being able to hear anything and showing no signs of being affected This was the saed; he knew that the cause of this hostility wasn’t due to the conflict froirl from Holy Maiden Peak, the cause was solely due to her
The girl called Xu You Rong
Yet the blame couldn’t be laid upon her, it wasn’t her fault
Therefore, all he could do was to endure
Suddenly, the jeers ebbed away like a fading tide, Chen Chang Sheng lifted his head and saw that a serene, quiet and gentle looking youth was standing upon the divine avenue; under the scolding of clergy and orders from teachers, the divine avenue was devoid of other people, yet upon this wide and empty path, this student had appeared
Su Mo Yu, froe
Su Mo Yu cerereeting (揖手) to Chen Chang Sheng
“Their words have been rude, I apologise on behalf of Li Palace College”
“No need” replied Chen Chang Sheng
Su Mo Yu didn’t see the divine avenue and continued to stand on the path
Tang Thirty-Six’s eyebroitched and he said: “What is theof this?”
Su Mo Yu shook his head and once again, cere: “With Priest Huo here, us students wouldn’t dare to be insolent”
The clergy a mildly pleasant expression on his face
“You don’t want to fight, yet you continue blocking the hat kind of intention do you have?” asked Tang Thirty-Six, with his eyes narrowing
Su Mo Yu ignored hi: “I have some words for you”
“Please speak” Chen Chang Sheng replied
“Have you thought upon the reason why everyone is being so rude towards you?” asked Su Mo Yu
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t reply; the ansas already evident
“Everyone’s words are indeed unseerace, but… that does not ic That which you are in possession of, noyou should be in possession of”
Su Mo Yu quietly looked at hih”
Upon the utterance of those words, Tang Thirty-Six and Xuan Yuan Po had a change in expression, even the teachers of Li Palace College and Te from the sides of the avenue had expressions of disapproval upon their faces
“Whilst it is correct that on the night of the Ivy League gathering, your exchanges with Gou Han shi+ on The Way see factor towards Orthodox Academy’s victory over Li Shan Sword Sect… I do not believe this to be the case, all I can believe is that you are lucky enough to be blessed with ifted bloodline of the White Eenius herself; your acquaintance with her can only be explained as luck Along the saenius that is ranked on the Proclaance and over-reliance on talent leading to his splitting from Heavenly Academy, why else would he enter Orthodox Academy?”
Chen Chang Sheng remained silent
“What is strength? Being strong, and also being able to help your co Grand Examination, I do not assus, but I do hope for Li Palace College to have a greater nu ranked, than those fro the leading school of the Six Ivy League schools”
He continued
“At the very least, I wouldn’t becoe, but you? At the Grand Examination, would you be able to rely upon luck or niceties like you did at the Ivy League gathering? What use is there to being well-read? What use is there to having knowledge that doesn’t lose to Gou Han shi+? If Gou Han shi+ hadn’t already successfully cleared his Ethereal Palace, how could he rank second aarner respect from Qiu Shan Jun?”
Su Mo Yu looked at him with a sober expression and said: “A person that only reads books, but doesn’t kno to apply the knowledge can be found in abundance in provincial schoolhouses, you ht think that you can help your co you, without the more than a hopeless scholar; you will only be a liability for Orthodox Academy”
Tang Thirty-Six derisively asked: “It seems like you’re even more concerned with our school’s performance than we are”
“Of course”
Su Mo Yu lightly inclined his head, not hiding his expression, “I am a very traditional person, like many of the other traditionalists of Li Palace and the various schools, we yearn towards the illustrious past of Orthodox Acadenant We wish to see the revival of Orthodox Academy and that is why I have said these words today, in order to spur you towards working harder; I hope that by the time of the Grand Exah you would still be a burden, it would at least be less unseemly”
Upon finishi+ng those words, he stepped off the divine avenue
Chen Chang Sheng had rarely co hi re Thirty-Six and the others
