The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 468

"Sir, look at this matter..."

They all seemed very embarrassed, as they had no idea who had spread the news.

Even if they knew, they didn't know how to handle it.

After all, they were all insignificant and had little influence.

Even if we go door-to-door to explain now, those people probably won't believe us, because such a thing has already happened in the academy.

Upon hearing this news, the first person Xu Tian thought of was the General Who Protects the Nation.

He never imagined that this person was so despicable, doing these things behind the scenes.

The dean looked worried.

"The poisoning incident was already very bad for the academy, and now this other thing has come out. Everyone thinks that the adults did it."

“Those people don’t think things through slowly; they only make the most immediate decisions.”

Upon hearing the dean's words, Xu Tian frowned slightly.

He sighed softly, "Dean, don't worry! I'll handle these things. You just need to do your job."

Seeing Xu Tian's confidence, the dean had no choice but to go back first.

Xu Tian ordered someone to send the dean away.

He took out a thick file containing the background information of all the officials in power.

He didn't just watch it now; he had already seen it before and memorized it.

To demonstrate the quality of the academy's teaching, and also to address safety concerns.

In the imperial court, he deliberately opposed Bai Binping.

Bai Binping is an honest and straightforward person, and he thinks that the academic questions raised by Xu Tian are all nonsense.

"Absurd, utterly absurd! You don't understand academic knowledge at all, yet you dare to discuss it with us."

Bai Binping was so enraged that his face turned red and his neck bulged. If he weren't just a scholar, he probably would have already grabbed a big knife and attacked.

He angrily rebuked Xu Tian, ​​"This is blatant academic misconduct. No wonder your academy has such a bad reputation. It seems this was all inevitable."

He wondered, how could someone so responsible possibly educate good students?

Moreover, with so many things happening in their academy now, Bai Binping feels that all of those things were bound to happen.

Xu Tian chuckled and seized the opportunity to bring it up.

"Since Lord Bai believes that my academic work is improper, why don't you bring your students and have a challenge match with our academy?"

"Regarding the competition between academics."

That was Xu Tian's plan from the beginning.

He knew Bai Binping had no reason to refuse him.

As he expected, Bai Binping readily agreed.

"Fine, since you overestimate yourself, I have nothing more to say."

Bai Binping snorted coldly, showing utter disdain for Xu Tian.

He now completely despises Xu Tian.

He is not only academically unethical, but also extremely arrogant.

Does he really think he's so capable that he can get rid of all the gossip just by becoming an official in the imperial court?

Now everyone is talking about him behind his back.

Bai Binping felt that Xu Tian was just throwing caution to the wind, but a match would be good. He wanted to see how long this young man could remain arrogant after his sharpness was dulled.

Xu Tian smiled.

He is completely confident about this competition.

He wanted to use this opportunity to restore the academy's reputation.

Those high-ranking officials and nobles will stop saying anything. Once their reputation grows, those rumors will naturally disappear.
