This scolding caused Dong Chuan and the others to become restless. They looked towards the direction of the voice and saw four people sitting at an inconspicuous table in the restaurant. These four people were also wearing scholar robes and were eating. The scolding came from one of them. At this moment, these four people were staring at Dong Chuan and the others with resentment.
Dong Chuan and the others' faces turned ugly. They were celebrating here, but they were suddenly scolded. It was as if they were eating a delicious dish, only to be scolded by a fly. It was disgusting.
Dong Chuan looked at the four people with an unsightly expression. He put down his wine cup and cupped his fist towards the four people. "Gentlemen, may I know when our Shuwen Academy has offended you and caused you to speak ill of us?"
One of the four people was a scholar in his twenties. He looked at Dong Chuan and said, "Book Academy? Since when did you people represent the Book Academy? You're overestimating yourself. "
Dong Chuan smiled coldly and said, "We are all students of the Academy of Literature. Now that we are outside of the Academy of Literature, we can naturally represent the Academy of Literature. It's better than all of you hiding and not even daring to say your names."
When the four people heard Dong Chuan, their expressions changed. The leader of the group was a scholar in his forties. He looked at Dong Chuan and coldly snorted, "Young man, keep your mouth clean. What do you mean by hiding your head and showing your tail? Be careful, trouble comes from the mouth. "
"Hahaha, keep my mouth clean? Shouldn't we be the ones saying that? " When Dong Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Then he said, "We're celebrating here, but you suddenly scolded us. Now you're telling us to keep our mouth clean? What's the reason for this? "
When the person heard Dong Chuan, he coldly said, "We can say it, but you can't."
Just as Dong Chuan was about to speak, Zhao Hai waved his hand and stopped him. Zhao Hai looked at the person and said, "You're a Void Realm expert, yet you're making things difficult for the students of the Book Academy. Even if you're a teacher of another academy, I'm afraid this isn't right. Plus, even if you're a teacher from another academy, don't forget that this is Tideview City. They're students of the Academy of Literature, not your academy. You have no right to lecture them. "
The man looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "You're Zhao Hai, right? I heard that you claimed to be from the Weapon Spirit Continent? I just don't know if it's true or not. However, you are right about one thing. I am indeed a teacher. However, I am not a teacher from another school. I am a teacher from the Academy of Literature. "
Zhao Hai looked at the person and smiled faintly, "You're a teacher of the Scholarly Academy, but you're certainly not a teacher of Tideview City's Scholarly Academy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said those words today. We're celebrating here, but you didn't ask us what we're celebrating. Instead, you came up with malicious words. To be honest, a teacher like you is really rare. You don't know what's right and wrong, you just came up and scolded us. You don't deserve to be a teacher. Fortunately, you're not a teacher of Tideview City's Scholarly Academy."
When the person heard Zhao Hai, his face couldn't help but turn pale. He looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, "Twisting words and forcing logic. We're here on orders from the Academy to investigate your identity. Zhao Hai, before we determine whether you're from the Weapon Spirit Continent, you're not allowed to leave Tideview City."
"Hahahaha! I, Zhao Hai, am from the Weapon Spirit Continent. I came to the Wen Ji Continent for an exchange. I registered my identity here to give the Wen Ji Continent face and respect your rules. When did the Wen Ji Continent have the authority to forcibly control me? "
"You! Alright, Zhao Hai, we now suspect that you're related to the murder of the five Sky Dancing Teachers of the Chess Hall. You better surrender, lest we hurt you. "
"Hahahaha, I didn't think that the Academy of Literature would do such a thing. It's really disappointing."
Dong Chuan and the others had been listening to the conversation between Zhao Hai and the scholar. Now, they understood what was going on. The scholar was sent by the Academy to investigate Zhao Hai. No wonder he didn't like Zhao Hai.
But to be honest, Dong Chuan and the others were really disappointed. Although they didn't know that Zhao Hai killed the teachers of the Chess Hall, they had been in contact with Zhao Hai for the past few days. They knew what kind of person Zhao Hai was. It was impossible for Zhao Hai to kill people for no reason. Moreover, this time, Dong Chuan and the others helped them complete the restoration of the battle of Tideview City. For the Academy of Literature, Zhao Hai was definitely a great contributor. However, these people immediately accused Zhao Hai of so many crimes and even spoke ill of them. To be honest, they were really disappointed with the people sent by the Academy.
The scholar also noticed Dong Chuan and the others' gazes. However, he didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, he was sent by the higher-ups, which made him equivalent to an Imperial Envoy. Naturally, these people would listen to his words. Anyone who dared to oppose him would be going against the Academy. It was precisely because of this that he was so unyielding.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the scholar was thoroughly angered. He looked at Zhao Hai and coldly said, "Zhao Hai, do you want to become enemies with the entire Wen Ji Continent?"
Zhao Hai looked at the scholar and said, "Become enemies with the entire Wen Ji Continent? I don't have that intention. However, I'm from the Soldier Spirit Continent. I can't be bullied by others. You didn't ask for the reason and just charged me with crimes. I won't accept it. If you make a move against me, I'll certainly resist. "
"You!" The scholar's complexion turned ashen when he heard Zhao Hai's words. Then he coldly snorted and said, "I'll go to the Scholarly Academy and see what kind of explanation they have for us." Then he led the other three people away.
Zhao Hai looked at the three people leaving and didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head to Dong Chuan and the others and smiled faintly, "Alright, don't let this matter affect everyone's mood. Come, let's drink."
Although Dong Chuan and the others were worried, they didn't say anything. Everyone sat down and drank. The celebratory banquet had already lost its corresponding atmosphere.
Naturally, this kind of celebratory banquet couldn't be held for too long. Everyone only ate a little before returning to the academy and returning to their own rooms.
Putting aside Zhao Hai and the others, let's talk about the four people sent by the Scholarly Academy. The four of them were very angry at the restaurant. After leaving the restaurant, they immediately went to the Scholarly Academy. Originally, people like them could eat in the Scholarly Academy. However, they chose to eat in a restaurant outside. This in itself wasn't very friendly. This meant that they didn't want to have anything to do with the Scholarly Academy. At the same time, they were giving the Scholarly Academy a hard time.
Now that they had a bellyful of anger in the restaurant, they were naturally unhappy. After they entered the Scholarly Academy, they directly went to the Scholarly Academy. As soon as they entered the Scholarly Academy's hall, the leader of the group, a 40 year old scholar, immediately said, "Have your Dean come out and see me."
The scholars in the hall were all stunned. Then they looked at the scholar in confusion. They didn't know who he was and why he suddenly came here. Moreover, he wanted the Dean to see him.
One of the scholars cupped his fist and said, "May I ask who Mister is? Why do you want to see the Dean? "
The scholar looked at the scholar, then he coldly snorted. Then he took out a jade token from his chest and handed it to the scholar. Then he said, "Head Observer, have your Dean come out and see me."
The scholar looked at the scholar, then he looked at the jade token in the scholar's hand. Then he said, "Observer, please take a seat. I'll go and inform the Dean." Then he turned around and walked towards the back of the Scholarly Academy.
Before long, the scholar arrived outside the Dean's courtyard. He gently knocked on the door. The Dean's voice was heard, "Come in." The scholar pushed the door and walked in. Then he gave the Dean a salute.
The Dean looked at him and said, "Dong Cheng, it's you. Aren't you on duty in the Scholarly Academy today? How come you're here? What's the matter? "
Dong Cheng immediately replied, "Dean, there were four people outside. The leader of the group was holding a jade token. I've already confirmed it, it's the Observer's Jade Token. They're the Observer's Jade Token from the Academy. They want you to go out and see them."
When the Dean heard Dong Cheng, he couldn't help but stare. Then he nodded and said, "Observer, I didn't think that the Academy would send an Observer. Alright, let's invite them over. I want to see what the Academy has to say." The mister nodded before he turned around and left.
The observer's face turned pale as he stood in the hall. Because he had been in the hall for a long time, except for the first mister who said a few words to them, the others only invited them to sit down and served them tea. Nobody paid any attention to them, they were busy with their own business. This made the observer's face turn even uglier. In his opinion, the other party was looking down on him and didn't take him seriously. This made the observer's face even more ugly. In his opinion, the other party was looking down on him, not taking him seriously.
When the Observer's patience reached its limit, Dong Cheng finally came back. He cupped his fist and said, "Observer, the Academy Dean is waiting for you in the courtyard. Please come with me."
When the Observer heard Dong Cheng, he couldn't help but get angry. He looked at Dong Cheng and said, "You're saying that you want us to see the Academy Dean, but he won't come out to greet us?"
Dong Cheng looked at the Observer in confusion. He didn't know why the Observer said this. One must know that every year, there would be a lot of people from the Academy coming to the Scholarly Academy. Some of them had higher status than the Observer. When these people arrived, they would respectfully greet the Academy Dean. When did the Academy Dean ever greet them? Why was the Observer acting so strange today?
Although it was strange, he still replied, "Yes, the Academy Dean is waiting for you in the courtyard. Please come with me."
The Observer was so angry that his face turned green. Finally, he snorted and followed Dong Cheng to the back. After a while, they arrived outside the Dean's courtyard. The Observer had already decided that when he saw the Dean, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
Dong Cheng led the Observer to the Academy Dean's courtyard. Then he knocked on the door and said, "Dean, the Observer is here."
"Come in!" The Academy Dean's voice was heard. Dong Cheng nodded and opened the door. Then he turned to the Observer and said, "Observer, please come in." The Observer's face paled as he entered the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw the dean. Upon seeing the dean, the Observer's expression changed. Then his expression turned respectful as he stepped forward and bowed to the dean and said, "Zuo Jun greets Mister. Mister is doing well!"
The Academy Dean put down the book in his hand and looked at Zuo Jun. Then he said, "Not bad. I didn't think that you would become an Observer. I heard that you wanted me to see you? "
When Zuo Jun heard the Academy Dean, he couldn't help but sweat. He immediately replied, "I wouldn't dare. How could this student dare to let Mister see me? I just didn't think that Mister would become the Academy Dean of Tideview City. This student has been impolite."
The Academy Dean smiled and said, "It's nothing. Didn't I retire? Moreover, I used to be a student of Tideview City. I wanted to return to my roots, so I told Old Fang that I'm the Academy Dean of Tideview City. Actually, I don't care about anything, I just want to retire here. I didn't tell Old Fang to tell anyone that I'm here. In the past few years, I've sent Guan Hong to attend meetings at the Academy. My old bones don't want to move anymore."
Zuo Jun quickly replied, "So that's how it is. This student has been wanting to see Mister all these years, but I didn't know where Mister was. I thought that Mister was living in seclusion. I didn't expect Mister to be the Academy Dean of Tideview City. Had I known earlier, this student would have come to see Mister.
Others might not know this old man's identity, but Zuo Jun definitely knew. This was because Zuo Jun was this old man's disciple. He was the last batch of the old man's disciples. This old man wasn't the dean of the Library in Tideview City, but the vice-dean of the Library's General Hall. At the same time, he was the instructor of the General Hall as well as the teacher of the Library's elite class. Moreover, he had been teaching the elite class for more than 40 years. It could be said that he had students all over the world. If anyone dared to be rude to him in the Library, they would be dead for sure. Each of his students could drown them with their saliva.
The Old Fang that the old man mentioned was the current Dean of the Academy of Literature, Fang Dingtian. In the entire Academy of Literature, he was probably the only one who dared to call the Dean that. No one else dared to call him that. Only he had the right to do so because he had worked with Fang Dingtian for decades. Fang Dingtian was the Dean, while he was the Vice Dean. The two of them worked well together and were close friends.
The dean nodded and said, "Fortunately, I used to spend most of my energy on teaching. Now, I have some free time. At first, I wasn't used to it, but now, I can drink tea and read books every day. It's quite comfortable, and I'm in good health. You should sit down, it's quite tiring to stand. These kids are quite strong, are they your students?"
Zuo Jun quickly replied, "Mister, they're from the Elite Class of the Academy, not my students. They're going to stay in the academy. This time, the Dean asked me to bring them out for training."
Then he turned to the scholars behind him and said, "You guys, greet the Dean. He's my teacher, you should call him Grandmaster."
