The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 111

After Xu Tian told countless poignant stories, everyone present shed tears.

They wiped away their tears, a hint of emotion welling up in their eyes, but it was unclear who they were thinking of.

Xu Tian sat in front, calmly watching their actions.

Among the crowd, he was like a monk undergoing spiritual training, untouched by the world around him, let alone moved by their emotions.

At this moment, a man wiping away tears walked up to Xu Tian and asked, "Sir, did you make up all these stories yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian shook his head. "Not all of it. Most of it is just what I heard. I'm just relaying it now."

The man looked somewhat disappointed upon hearing Xu Tian's reply.

"These stories are really well told. It would be even better if we could find the original authors."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian smiled.

He didn't know that he himself was the original author of one or two of the stories.

Li Er watched all of this quietly from a distance.

After the two finished talking, he stepped forward and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Xu Tian, ​​it's been a long time. How have you been? Why don't we sit down, have a drink, and some snacks, and have a good chat? What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian lifted his eyelids and saw Li Er in front of him. He was somewhat surprised, not expecting Li Er to catch up so quickly.

But he soon realized that the person in front of him was the current emperor, and it was incredibly easy for him to find someone.

Xu Tianzheng stood up. Since Li Er had come in disguise, he did not want to expose him, so he simply bowed to Li Er.

Seeing this, Li Er quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Quickly, please get up, Master. Why are you suddenly being so polite to me?"

"We should be more polite," Xu Tian said calmly.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Er was momentarily bewildered, wondering why Xu Tian's attitude towards him had become so distant and cold.

But after thinking about it, he decided to sit down first and said to Xu Tian, ​​"How about we have some food first?"

"How could I not sit down in the face of your kindness?" Xu Tian blurted out.

The dishes were served quickly after he sat down.

After the atmosphere eased a bit, Li Er asked, "Master Xu, do you no longer wish to open the school today? What is the reason for this? The new school is about to be completed!"

Xu Tian guessed that Li Er had come looking for him because he wanted to ask about the school.

His attitude immediately became very distant again, and he said only to Li Er, "Master Li, or rather, Your Majesty, I am just a country scholar. How dare I enter your sight like this? What virtue or ability do I possess? Besides, I shouldn't be showing off my limited skills in front of you, should I?"
