The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 605

The envoy from Northern Zhou introduced the academy to Gu Chi, explaining its layout and teaching methods.

Gu Chi was now treating Xu Tian with considerable courtesy.

"Lord Xu can rest for two days before coming to school."

The Northern Zhou envoy was worried that he was not yet ready to adapt.

Xu Tian replied, "It's alright, teaching and nurturing students takes time!"

I've already rested for a day, so naturally I don't need to rest for too long.

Inside the academy, he saw students studying diligently.

However, those students were all strangely shaped.

The students sat in various postures, and some even daydreamed while the teacher was still lecturing.

This is normal for these spoiled brats.

Even within their own college, there were many students like that before.

However, they later came to like his classes.

That's why I became so serious.

They even grew to love physical education classes, which were usually quite strenuous.

Xu Tian glanced at the school's appearance.

However, it was not explicitly stated.

He decided to go to the college for class the next day.

The Northern Zhou emperor hosted a banquet in his honor.

All the ministers participated.

The Northern Zhou emperor said directly, "Lord Xu has come from afar, Gu Chi, you should take good care of him."

He naturally trusted the minister he most trusted who brought back the person as well.

They believed that this person must be quite capable.

Throughout the banquet, the Northern Zhou envoy praised Xu Tian's abilities.

And his teaching methods.

But none of these people had ever seen it; just hearing about it made them feel very curious.

Because of those courses, they had never even heard of them, let alone seen them.

Each one is correct, Xu Tian's teaching method.

I felt a deep sense of curiosity.

The next day, Xu Tian came to the academy to teach the students.

Several adults even came to visit the academy.

The Northern Zhou envoy feared that Xu Tian would not be used to it.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "They all came because they were curious about your teaching methods."

Xu Tian waved his hand and said, "It's alright!"

"Adults can also offer their opinions in class, and everyone can learn from each other."

His public lectures were the same; since these adults were willing to sit in, he was naturally happy for their participation.

However, the students in the academy were all sons of high-ranking officials and relatives of royalty.

They utterly disdained someone like Xu Tian.

They will not listen to Xu Tian's discipline at all.

After Xu Tian announced the start of class, all the students acted nonchalantly.

Not a single one of them even went to see Xu Tian.

They're all just doing their own thing.

They had absolutely no awareness of the consequences.

It was even more boring than the lectures given by the previous teachers.

They were throwing scraps of paper and playing games.

Even the adults listening in were getting restless.

However, they still wanted to see how Xu Tian would resolve this situation.

So they all held back and just sat there quietly.

Xu Tian looked at the students below.

They are deliberately targeting him.

Xu Tian just smiled lightly.

He picked up the book voucher.

He then stepped down from the podium.

"These are the books you study every day. I have already introduced myself. Now, may you introduce yourselves, next?"

But after he finished speaking, there was complete silence below.
