Bai Shaoqiu didn't know that the lazy girl in his heart had gone to Kyoto.

I didn't know that an imperial edict had been issued from Kyoto.

He came to the broken bridge again.

There are many pedestrians coming and going on the Broken Bridge, and they are all very busy.

The morning sets the tone for the day, which means working hard to make a living.

I looked at the lush broken banyan tree and wondered if there would be another assassin in the broken banyan tree this time.

Just as he was about to turn around, a bird fluttered out from the banyan tree.

His brows knitted slightly, "Madman!"

"What's the matter?"

"Go look inside that banyan tree."

When He Xiaofeng heard this, he pulled out the two silver hooks on his back with two clangs. Without paying any attention to the passers-by, he flew up and flew towards the broken banyan tree.

Dongfang Meng also gripped the stick tightly at this time, and his slightly dull eyes stared at the broken banyan tree.

Zhao Xiaoshu, who was driving, widened his eyes and swallowed hard: "Master, another assassin?"

"I don't know, but it's always good to see."

In Bai Shaoqiu's sight, He Xiaofeng swung his double hooks to chop off countless banyan leaves, and he stood on a tree trunk.

After carefully examining it for a moment, he flew back and landed beside Bai Shaoqiu, inserting two silver hooks into their sheaths. "No assassin."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "The assassin isn't that stupid."

Bai Shaoqiu grinned: "That's good, let's go!"

The group walked towards the gate of Changning Academy. Bai Shaoqiu did not notice that there was an old man with white hair and beard and wearing a gray-white linen robe standing on the broken bridge.

The old man looked at his departing back with a smile, shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand, grinned, and revealed his rotten teeth.

He walked down the broken bridge, stood under the broken banyan tree, looked up for three breaths, and then turned and left.

Bai Shaoqiu and the other two arrived at the gate of Changning Academy. Zhuo and his group were already waiting there. When he saw Bai Shaoqiu arrive, he hurriedly took three steps forward to greet him.

He bowed and said with a smile, "It's been over a month since we last met, and Mr. Bai is still as charming as ever!"

Bai Shaoqiu also bowed in return: "Mutual... I say, we don't need to flatter each other like this."

After a brief pause, Bai Shaoqiu looked at Zhuo Yixing and asked:

"Have you bought the 'Dream of the Stone' that I sell at Sanwei Bookstore?"

Zhuo Yixing was stunned: "I bought it. I waited in a long line on the first day to buy it!"

Bai Shaoqiu grinned, "It's good to buy it, it's a profit if you buy it...Brother Zhuo, lead the way."

The two walked side by side in front. When they stepped into the gate of Changning Academy, Bai Shaoqiu was suddenly startled.

There are a lot of people standing in the square opposite!

They all look like students from Changning Academy!

The students burst into warm cheers the moment they saw Bai Shaoqiu appear!

Bai Shaoqiu turned his head and looked at Zhuo and his group.

Zhuo Yixing spread his hands and said, "When they heard you were coming today, everyone was very excited. They asked the Dean to give them half a day off... Don't worry, they just want to see you."

"What do I have to see?"

"Well... Mr. Si said when he came to the academy to give a lecture a few days ago that if the talents in the world were divided into ten buckets, Brother Bai, you alone would occupy eight buckets!"

"Mr. Si also said that with your literary attainments, your portrait will sooner or later be placed on the fourth floor of Wenyuan Pavilion..."

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned:

"You believe this too?"

"I believe!"

Zhuo Yixing added without hesitation, "It's not just me who believes it. Almost all the students in the three academies believe it!"

"...why?"

"Because your Lanting Preface has become very popular in Kyoto."

The two continued walking forward. Zhuo Yixing looked at Bai Shaoqiu with envy in his eyes. "Mr. Fang brought back the poems you wrote in Zhuxi and the 'Lanting Preface' to Beijing."

"Your poems have been admired and praised by scholars in Kyoto. Your 'Lanting Preface' is even placed on the desk of Master Du, the director of the Imperial College..."

"It was recommended jointly by the old scholar Fang and the dean of Jinghua Academy. After passing the review of the Imperial College, he will be admitted to the National Academy!"

"The Emperor likes literature, so he has read your poems and the 'Lanting Preface'."

"I heard that the emperor liked it so much that he even wrote the Lanting Preface in his own handwriting, framed it, and hung it in his imperial study..."

"Brother Bai, you are far away in the western frontier, but your name has reached the heavens. Your future is limitless!"

"Everyone in Xiling City is saying, Brother Bai, that you're the reincarnation of Wenquxing... These junior students want to see you, want to embody a bit of your literary aura... That makes sense, right?"

Bai Shaoqiu has been busy practicing Qi and learning how to make and detoxify poisons these days. He had no idea that his name had already spread throughout Kyoto, and he had never expected that it had reached the ears of the emperor.

As for the reincarnation of Wenquxing... do these people believe this bullshit?

Regardless of whether Bai Shaoqiu himself believed it or not, the students believed it anyway.

Otherwise, how to explain how the man who was once the most useless person in Xiling City suddenly became the most talented person in Xiling City!

Do not,

According to Mr. Si, he should be the most talented person in the world!

He became an idol in the hearts of these teenagers.

There was no longer any trace of disdain, contempt, or sarcasm in the eyes of these young men when they looked at him.

Their gazes are hotter than the summer sun!

From the moment Bai Shaoqiu, dressed in white, stepped into Changning Academy, in the eyes of these young people, his whole body exuded a dazzling brilliance!

The brightness made it difficult for them to look directly at it.

So they can only look up!

After a brief cheer, the voices of the thousands of students gradually became quieter, and as Bai Shaoqiu got closer to them, the voices became quieter and quieter.

It seems that they are afraid of blaspheming this world's most talented man who is the reincarnation of Wenquxing.

It seemed as if she was worried that when she opened her mouth, this great talent would squeeze out all the secrets in her heart!

The crowd quietly parted.

A wide road was left in the middle.

Bai Shaoqiu came to the entrance of the road, stopped, and glanced at the group of young men with admiring eyes with his hands behind his back.

After three breaths of silence, he spoke loudly:

"I, Bai Shaoqiu, am an ordinary person."

"A man without great ambition."

"He's also a... casual person."

"I am grateful for your kindness, and I will say a few words from the bottom of my heart."

The room suddenly fell into silence.

The students' gazes became increasingly intense.

Standing behind the students were the teachers of Changning Academy, including the principal of Changning Academy.

Even the way they looked at Bai Shaoqiu was filled with excitement.

This son-in-law of the royal palace...if he could get rid of his identity as a son-in-law, he would surely soar to the sky!

He is the best role model for these students!

What would he say to these students?

Bai Shaoqiu paused, and a charming smile appeared on his face:

"At the Zhuxi Literary Conference, I gave some people a pair of couplets."

"That couplet is like this."

"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow-rooted; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have pointed mouths, thick skins, and hollow bellies!"

"I told them not to imitate the reeds and bamboo shoots, but to calm down and study hard!"

"Since we have the good fortune to meet here today, I would like to give you another couplet to encourage each other!"
