The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 613

Xu Tian coldly said to the official, "You flatter me, sir. I am but a commoner and cannot bear the weight of such a title."

Xu Tian was about to leave when he said that.

"I've heard that even the Prime Minister wants to arrange a marriage between him and Lord Xu?"

Xu Tian glanced at the person who spoke.

It seemed he was certain that Xu Tian wouldn't reveal this matter.

They actually dared to talk about such things so openly.

Xu Tian sneered inwardly, thinking that the person in front of him was just a fool.

"My lord, please don't speak nonsense. Wouldn't this ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's daughter?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian say this, the man gasped.

He hadn't thought that far ahead when he said those words.

Now that Xu Tian had said that, he immediately dared not mention the matter again.

They were even afraid that Xu Tian would tell others about it.

He really can't bear that responsibility.

"Lord Xu, please don't take offense. I was just making things up based on what others said. Be careful what you say!"

Xu Tian naturally wouldn't casually mention this matter.

He has no desire to have anything to do with that prime minister right now.

Xu Tian first discussed matters with the envoy from Northern Zhou.

Ultimately, Xu Tian started teaching physical education at the Royal Academy.

The emperor found the course very novel; they had never heard of or seen anything like it before, and naturally, they all developed a strong interest in it.

So he agreed without hesitation to Xu Tian's so-called physical education class.

Xu Tian taught for only one day, and as a result, all the students complained bitterly.

These are all sons of officials, who have never suffered any hardship.

They've always been pens-wielding; where have they ever received this kind of training?

Many students began to refuse to cooperate with Xu Tian in completing the physical education course.

"I'm not going anymore, I'm not going anymore. What kind of course is this? It's torture!"

One of the students started shouting and even sat down on the ground to act spoiled.

He completely disregarded any image.

All I could think about was escaping this PE class as quickly as possible.

"I'm not going anymore. What kind of course is this? It's just making us suffer. I don't want to take any PE class. There's no fun in it at all."

Xu Tian looked at them, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He had previously taught physical education courses in the Tang Dynasty and achieved the same results.

After all, they were all sons of officials who had never suffered hardship before.

How could she possibly be willing to endure such torment from him?

Xu Tian looked at them with indifferent eyes.

"You can rest for a while, and then continue training."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, all the students were displeased.

They all stood up and fought back.

However, Xu Tian made no changes whatsoever.

It's still the same sentence as before.

The students below started shouting and yelling.

Gu Chi saw Xu Tian's PE class and was secretly gloating.

He just wanted all the students to refuse to cooperate with Xu Tian.

This way, Xu Tian can leave as soon as possible.

Their school will then be able to return to its former tranquility.

After seeing Xu Tian return to the office, Gu Chi came to the students.

"Didn't you like Xu Tian's courses before? Look at this course he's arranged now! It's designed to improve your physical health so you can become pillars of the nation in the future. Moreover, this course has already been approved by the Emperor."

"Although you are all young masters and have never experienced such hardships, having you learn this will ensure that if one day you are truly needed on the battlefield, you will undoubtedly become elite soldiers!"

"This physical education course has just begun, so you all need to cooperate well with Master Xu. Once this course is launched, it can be fully utilized."

Gu Chi went up to persuade the students to cooperate with Xu Tian.

His words had a hidden meaning, which angered the students and made them dissatisfied with Xu Tian.

"I don't want to have any PE class, it's exhausting. Xu Tian knows perfectly well that we can't handle this kind of hardship, he's doing this on purpose."

"Exactly. Exactly, I don't want to go to this PE class anymore."
