Although this upright gentleman seemed strange, his words were indeed very important. After he walked out of the courtyard, no one from the academy came to disturb him. Only Li Kui was waiting for him outside. He looked a little worried, but when he saw that Su Baiyi was intact, he smiled and said, "I'm glad nothing happened. I was worried that you were bullied."
Su Baiyi took off the Junyu Sword from his waist and handed it to Li Kui: "I don't trust this sword to be with others, so you can keep it for me for a few days. Also, why is this academy different from what you said, a place where the world's literary energy gathers... but these idiots?"
"Speak softly, speak softly, don't let anyone hear you." Li Kui hurriedly pulled Su Baiyi aside and walked forward while saying, "The academy is indeed a place where the world's literary spirit gathers. There is a Confucian saint who is known as the world's number one scholar, nine gentlemen with both good character and talent, and three hundred Confucian scholars who are well-read. But because of this, all families and factions are eager to send their young disciples here to be influenced and feel the atmosphere of the academy. In the future, when they return to their respective families, they will give people a different feeling. Those who should inherit the family head will inherit the family head, and those who should marry the eldest daughter of the opposite family will marry the eldest daughter. Therefore, these disciples are often the pride of their respective sects. They have been raised since childhood, and each one is more arrogant and rude than the other. The academy is also very troubled by this, especially after that gentleman went down the mountain, alas..."
"Which gentleman?" Su Baiyi asked.
Li Kui smiled mysteriously: "You will know it later. You just need to know that there are three gentlemen living in the academy now. The third gentleman is Li Yanqi, the fourth gentleman is Li Wai, and the fifth gentleman is Zhou Zheng."
"I have seen Mr. Zhou Zheng." Su Baiyi recalled the scene just now and finally came to a conclusion, "I think he is not in the right mind."
“Hahahahaha.” To Su Baiyi’s surprise, Li Kui, who respected and admired the academy immensely, was not angry at all. “That’s true. In fact, among the gentlemen in the academy, none of them have good brains. For example, the third gentleman, Li Yanqi, is known as ‘peaches and plums do not speak, but people come to them of their own accord.’ People in the academy call him Li Buyan.”
"Not talkative?" Su Baiyi asked.
"Whenever the Third Gentleman Li Yanqi was teaching, he could talk in the classroom for six hours without interruption, without eating, drinking or going to the toilet. Whenever a student asked him a question, he could answer a hundred questions for every one question. In the end, no one dared to speak in the classroom. After that, whenever a student looked at him, he would ask the student a question. After that, no one dared to raise his head in the classroom. Li Buyan meant... Don't talk to Gentleman Li. But the main reason why Gentleman Li had so many classes to teach was because he was erudite."
"What about Li Wai, one of the Four Gentlemen?" Su Baiyi thought to himself that he must compare himself with Li Junzi one day.
"Li Wai, one of the Four Gentlemen, is upright and righteous. He likes to talk about the way of a gentleman, persuade people to do good, and is honest. He often leads the academy disciples to go down the mountain to help the elderly, weak, women and children in Qiantang City. For example, he helps the elderly repair dilapidated houses, gives steamed buns to the poor, and teaches children. He is also one of the gentlemen that the academy disciples fear the most."
"We have the old, the weak and the children. What about the woman?"
"Qiantang City Qianhua Wanhua Tower is famous for the reputation of Mr. Li."
"I'm so sorry."
“When the Four Gentlemen are giving a lecture, students must not make noise during get out of class, must not chase and fight after class, must not talk loudly while eating, must not chat after the lights are turned off, must not turn around to peek at others when going to the toilet, and must not whistle.” Li Kui’s tone seemed to reveal a sense of relief.
"This is Li Buyan!" Su Baiyi said with emotion, "Those five gentlemen are upright..."
"Zhou Zheng, the uprightness of a gentleman." Li Kui stretched out a fist and clenched it tightly, "He is also the gentleman with the most upright fist."
"When will the Confucian sage return? I will leave the mountain when I see him."
“… … ”
As night fell, Su Baiyi sat in the small room that the academy had arranged for him. He lit a candle, took out the notebook from his arms, and picked up the pen. He felt that what his master said that day made a lot of sense. In this academy full of dangers, he had to be less talkative and write down everything he wanted to say...
"Maybe I can write a work similar to Mr. Shanxu's "Hot-Blooded Academy." Su Baiyi bit the tip of the pen and thought about what happened today. "Xie Yuling, the third son of the Xie family, should be the person that the woman asked him to save that day. But why didn't he go down the mountain, but let his mortal enemy Feng Zuojun go down the mountain. Feng Zuojun said today that he would inherit Tianxiao Yunjing in the future. It seems that he is the legendary eldest grandson of Yunjing. The academy is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. And that gentleman Zhou Zheng, he actually likes to read novels and novels. I thought the gentlemen in the academy were all old and decadent, but I didn't expect them to have so much leisure time. It actually increased my favorability."
Su Baiyi kept talking to himself while writing something in the notebook. He did not feel sleepy at all until the hour of Chou. Instead, he became more and more interested in writing. He stopped talking to himself and picked up the pen to write in the notebook. Little did he know that on the wall in the distance, three academy disciples were lying down, and they were so sleepy that they could not even open their eyelids.
"Is this new guy made of iron? Why isn't he sleeping at this hour? Xu Zhe, why don't we just forget it?" Someone yawned.
The academy boy named Xu Zhe quickly covered his mouth and said, "Stop making noise, wait a little longer."
As soon as Xu Zhe finished speaking, Su Baiyi put down the book in his hand, then stood up and blew out the candle. The three people on the wall waited for another half an hour before quietly climbing into the yard and crawling under the window. Xu Zhe slowly stood up and opened the window a crack. Seeing Su Baiyi lying on the bed with his back to them, he immediately took out a blowpipe from his arms and blew it gently at Su Baiyi.
"That's enough." Xu Zhe said with a smile.
But Su Baiyi suddenly turned around, stretched out two fingers and caught the flying arrow.
"You... you don't sleep?" Xu Zhe asked in surprise.
Su Baiyi sat up from the bed: "You are right. I really haven't slept for many years."
"Xu Zhe, what should we do now?" asked the other two.
Su Baiyi looked at the man in front of him in the moonlight and recognized that this was the person who stood next to Feng Zuojun during the day. He said helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Xu Zhe suddenly sneered, "You will soon find out. The boss is right. You are indeed quite capable, but you are still too young. How dare you catch my Xu family's hidden weapon with your hands?"
Su Baiyi frowned slightly and found that his hand was slightly numb. He looked closely and found that his whole hand was dark blue: "You!"
"Since you haven't slept for many years, have a good sleep today." Xu Zhe jumped into the house, walked over and carried the immobile Su Baiyi on his back, "This poison is called Mian Gu Xiang, it will be enough for you to sleep soundly for several hours."
