Due to the fervent gazes of the female students, Tang Thirty-Six had to continue maintaining his look of icy refinement, upon hearing what words were uttered, his expression deepened further, with a steely gaze directed towards the source of those words and confirming that they were uttered by a student of Temple Seminary.
Chen Chang Sheng extended an arm to block his advancement, shaking his head while doing so.
His purpose for coming to Li Palace today, was to meet Luo Luo about an important matter, he had no time for delays.
Though he couldn’t completely ignore the slights, he wasn’t about to erupt in fury over them. Anger, envy, grievances, heart-ache, sadness… all of these emotions were detrimental to health and a waste of time, and thus held little value to him.
Tang Thirty-Six gave the Temple Seminary group a cold stare before following Chen Chang Sheng onwards.
Jeering started coming from amongst Temple Seminary group, unhappy at the implications of warning from Tang’s stare, with one person exclaiming: “The truth is the truth, are we not allowed to state the truth? Orthodox Academy only restarted accepting students this year, yet you think you can oppress others like Heavenly Academy?”
Seeing Chen Chang Shen’s continued indifference, Tang Thirty-Six took a deep breath and decided to ignore the taunts, “I’ll treat it like as if I am deaf today, but after finishing our business at Li Palace, if there are still people who dare to taunt me, I’ll be dealing with them then.”
In the palace complex ahead, Temple Seminary, Li Palace College and the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green were connected by a single wall and bell tolls could be heard by all. Not long after passing Temple Seminary, they approached the entrance to Li Palace College.
Here, the two sides of the divine avenue was lined with green pagoda trees that didn’t shed leaves in Autumn, the surroundings were blanketed in a haze of green, a fitting match for the status of the school.
News of a visit from Orthodox Academy had already spread across the campuses of the three schools, resulting in an ever increasing number of people rushing out from their respective campuses and arriving at the divine avenue. Curious onlookers on both sides of the avenue gazed towards Chen Chang Sheng’s group, with the Western side being especially crowded, creating a rather impressive spectacle.
Students of Li Palace College were especially numerous, standing under the pagoda trees, staring at the group from Orthodox Academy, who were calmly advancing across the avenue. Some of the students couldn’t help but admire their actions, were it to be themselves, with how much difficulty would they be able handle the pressure of so many stares and yet maintain such a steady pace?
“Senior Su has arrived!”
This caused a slight commotion amongst the students of Li Palace College, with younger students automatically moving aside to create a pathway.
A single youth, a clergyman, with an air of quiet and refined elegance emerged from the opened path, arriving at the divine avenue.
