Zhang Yu watched the two people leave and took the invitation from Li Qinghe. He saw that the name was Qiu Shang and the title behind it was Xueling. It should be the Qiu Xueling that the two people mentioned.
The content of the invitation was similar to what the two people said. It invited him to go to Zhen Li Hall tomorrow, but it didn't say the specific reason. Moreover, the wording was not very polite and had a sense of condescension.
He thought in his heart. Zhen Li Hall was a place for literature and debate. His previous self-recommendation was carried out there.
In a few days, according to the agreement with the academy, he would begin to teach the language of the Tough Claw tribe to some students. Therefore, this matter was very likely related to this.
He flipped through the invitation and saw that the seal of the academy was used at the bottom. In other words, this invitation was issued through the academy. As an assistant teacher of the academy, he had to go.
"Does the academy want to confirm it again before I officially teach the aboriginal language, or do some people in the academy want to gain something from it?"
He thought about it for a moment and felt that both were possible because the benefits involved in this matter were not small.
The appearance of a powerful aboriginal tribe with tens of thousands of warriors in the empty Southern Mountain Range was likely to lead to a change in the entire strategic direction and even endanger the stability of the Protectorate. It was easy to imagine the games and disputes that would be triggered in the Protectorate. At this time, it was inevitable that some people would be ready to make trouble.
But no matter what, the person who controlled the communication method with the tribe was him. Therefore, no matter what those people wanted to do, they couldn't bypass him.
He collected his thoughts and turned to look at Li Qinghe. This young man was very sensible. When he was thinking, he stood to the side and didn't make a sound. He said, "Qinghe, when you received the invitation, your etiquette and actions were very good. Who taught you?"
Li Qinghe replied, "Sir, it was the elders in the tribe who taught me. Not only did they teach Tianxia characters, but they also taught Tianxia etiquette and rules."
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Your tribe elder has taught you well, but your etiquette is only 'external' and not 'internal'. No matter how well you practice it, it's useless. When I'm free, I will teach you a set of Daoyin Technique. You have to practice it well."
Li Qinghe didn't understand the difference here, but he was very clever. He could tell that Zhang Yu wanted to teach him something. He was very excited and said, "Yes, sir. Qinghe will definitely do a good job. "
Just as the two of them were talking, a voice came from outside. "Assistant Preceptor Zhang, are you in? Liu Guang is here to pay a visit. "
Hearing this, Zhang Yu stood up and personally went to the front to open the door. He cupped his hands and said, "Why is Teacher Liu here?"
Liu Guang returned the greeting and said with a serious expression, "Assistant Professor Zhang, did someone from the academy come by just now?"
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He stepped aside and said, "Teacher Liu, please come inside and talk."
Liu Guang cupped his fists and stepped in.
Zhang Yu invited him into the study. After the two of them sat down, Qinghe served tea.
Liu Guang looked at it and said in surprise, "Xu Ren?" He was a bit envious, "Assistant Preceptor Zhang really picked a good helper."
Xu Ren wasn't something you could get just because you wanted to. Before a Xu Ren could recognize a master, they would need the approval of their tribe's elders.
This was because the Xu Ren were afraid that their tribesmen would follow the wrong master. This would harm their tribesmen's lives. Therefore, they would use Tianxia's divination method to choose a master. If the divination showed no harm, they would agree.
Liu Guang also wanted to pick a Xu Ren helper, but he didn't succeed. And if he didn't succeed this time, he wouldn't have another chance. This was because all the Xu Ren tribes would approve of this result.
Zhang Yu took the letter and said, "Someone from the academy did come just now. They even brought this."
Liu Guang took a look and said with a frown, "As expected … …"
Zhang Yu asked, "Does Preceptor Liu know why the academy is looking for me this time?"
Liu Guang snorted and said, "Isn't it because some people saw that this matter was profitable and wanted to get involved? Because Assistant Preceptor Zhang is the key to this matter, these people want to open a gap from you."
Zhang Yu nodded. It was indeed like this. He asked, "Then does Preceptor Liu know the origin of this Qiu Xueling who left his name on the letter?"
Liu Guang said, "This Qiu Xueling was originally the best translator of the Mount An aboriginals in Taiyang Academy. In these years, he was said to have visited some of the aboriginals in the Protectorate and copied and organized them. He wanted to come up with a set of language that could be used to compare all the tribes. But there hasn't been any news about him in these years. I thought that he had retired and retired. "
He raised his head and said, "I've had a few contacts with this Qiu Xueling. This senior's knowledge is indeed very good, especially in the culture and language of the various tribes. He had many achievements in the past and translated a large number of ancient bark books from the aboriginals near Mount An. He had really enriched the academy's library. That's right, he also had a good relationship with the previous Chancellor, Zhan Gong. His current disciple, Zhan Zhitong, is Zhan Gong's son. "
Zhang Yu pondered. From Liu Guang's words, this Qiu Xueling should be a marginal character who was pushed out by a certain power. But it was worth noting that this person seemed to be very proficient in the aboriginals' language.
Liu Guang put down the letter and said with a solemn expression, "According to the news I just heard, this time, they might be planning to interrogate you."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes slightly moved. He quickly thought, "Interrogation … …"
The so-called interrogation, in Taiyang Academy, was to test the knowledge of the academy's teachers. If someone was found to be lacking in knowledge and could no longer be qualified for the position, then the academy could dismiss them.
This was actually a rule from the early years. After the Protectorate General established three more academies, Taiyang Academy rarely did this anymore.
Liu Guang raised his head and looked at him with a serious expression. He asked, "Instructor Zhang, according to your judgment, other than you, is there anyone else who knows the language of the Tough Claw Tribe?"
He was very concerned about this matter because Zhang Yu had recommended himself to enter the academy in front of him, Zhu Anshi, and Xin Yao. Not even a month had passed. If Zhang Yu had a problem during this interrogation, then the three of them wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
Zhang Yu asked, "Has this Qiu Xueling been to the depths of the forest east of Mount An?"
Liu Guang shook his head and said, "Qiu Xueling is over ninety years old. He can't be considered young anymore. He has spent his entire life in the academy studying scriptures. I've never heard of him traveling far before."
Zhang Yu was somewhat surprised and said, "Over ninety years old? In that case, this Qiu Xueling also experienced that battle back then? "
In that battle sixty years ago, almost all of the Tianxia men in the Protectorate General had gone to the battlefield, and there weren't many who had returned alive. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many mixed blood officials in the Protectorate General's Manor.
At that time, this Qiu Xueling was about thirty years old, at the time when he was at his strongest.
Liu Guang revealed a mocking expression and said, "This Qiu Xueling has never been to the battlefield. I heard that on the eve of that great battle, he just happened to break one of his legs and was unconscious for many days afterward. That was why he didn't go."
However, at this point, he emphasized, "But let's not talk about his character. This person's knowledge can't be faked. I've also heard his lectures before, and he has quite a knack for it."
At this point, Zhang Yu was certain that the other party didn't know the language of the Tough Claw Tribe. This tribe had only migrated from the interior two or three years ago. Even if this Qiu Xueling had gone to the depths of the interior before, he wouldn't have been able to come into contact with them.
He said, "Teacher Liu doesn't need to worry about this matter. I just feel that this Qiu Xueling might not be here to test me, but to have other plans."
When Liu Guang heard this, he was startled for a moment before suddenly coming to his senses. He couldn't help but clench his fist and knock it against his forehead. He had been too worried and confused.
If Qiu Xueling understood the language of the Tough Claw Tribe, then wouldn't it be fine to just use himself in place of Zhang Yu? What was the point of making such a big fuss about it? Wasn't this an unnecessary move?
Thus, there had to be some other plan involved.
He asked, "Then how does Teacher Zhang plan to deal with it tomorrow?"
Zhang Yu's tone was natural as he said, "When the time comes, I'll just deal with it as it comes."
Right now, he wasn't just a teacher, and he had already entered the Xuanfu. As long as he didn't openly violate the rules, the academy couldn't do anything to him. However, if it was possible, he still wanted to maintain his status as a teacher of the academy. This was because in his plan to come down and collect Origin Energy items, this status was also very important.
Liu Guang was also affected by Zhang Yu's calmness, and his heart calmed down quite a bit.
However, when he thought about it, as long as Zhang Yu still knew the language of the tribe, then that would be his greatest support. No matter what, the academy wouldn't do anything to him.
He said, "There's nothing wrong with being careful. Teacher Zhang, I'll go back first. Tomorrow, I'll go with you to Zhen Li Hall."
Zhang Yu agreed on a time with him and then went to send him off. After sending him out, he turned back to the study and picked up the invitation to take a look. Combined with Liu Guang's words, he thought of a possibility.
Whether it was true or not, he would know tomorrow.
