Chapter 242 Just kidding
Zhou Hanzhang glared at him, then quickly pulled him away with a smile, saying, "Brother, even if they didn't agree, you shouldn't have embarrassed them like that, right? Besides, have you ever seen a family bring an outsider when they come to propose marriage?"
She didn't care whether Gu Qingfeng was willing or not, and took him back to Tianan Academy directly.
It has to be Xuan Lingzi; he had already calculated that Gu Qingfeng would meet Zhou Hanzhang and bring him back, and he was already waiting at the academy gate.
When the two saw Zhou Hanzhang return, they greeted him with big smiles, and Mo Xuan spoke first, "We two old men have been waiting for you to come back."
Seeing their attitude, Zhou Hanzhang instinctively felt something was wrong. "Is something the matter?"
"Can't I come out to greet you if there's nothing wrong?"
Gu Qingfeng turned to look at Zhou Hanzhang, "See, I told you so."
"No, Dean, please get to the point, don't do this."
Who is Mo Xuan? He is the highest-ranking person in Tianan Academy. Zhou Hanzhang doesn't think he has any ability to make him come out here to greet him.
Moreover, it's one thing for him to come out on his own, but he brought Xuan Lingzi out with him as well. Doesn't that mean something's wrong?
Nobody would believe you if you said nothing happened.
Mo Xuan glanced at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng immediately understood.
Okay, let him go.
As soon as Gu Qingfeng left, Mo Xuan grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's shoulder and pulled him inside, saying, "I heard you encountered quite a few strange things and people on your trip."
Zhou Han was taken aback, then thought of Xuan Lingzi, the diviner. That made sense; there was nothing that could be hidden from him, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to know or not.
"It's alright. The dean hasn't said what you wanted to see me about yet."
"It's really nothing, it's just that you haven't been back to the academy for so long, and we have an event coming up that we were wondering if you'd like to participate."
What activity?
Zhou Hanzhang became somewhat interested. Of all the events Tianan Academy holds each year, very few can capture the attention of an old man like Mo Xuan.
"This event is actually a joint effort by some other academies to challenge our academy's status. Each academy has to send ten students, and that's why we thought of you."
Eh?
Zhou Hanzhang never imagined that such activities existed in ancient times. Wasn't this a blatant challenge?
She knew that those academies held such an event every few years, but Tianan Academy had never participated in such an event, had it?
Its status is incomparable to that of the academies below it.
"Don't we usually not participate in these kinds of activities?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan felt a pang of melancholy. "I never wanted to get involved in this kind of thing, but you know, although our academy has always been among the best in all aspects, we can't help but have some petty people who like to provoke us."
"Not participating once or twice is understandable, but if we keep not participating, people will think that our academy's capabilities have declined and we're afraid to participate."
Zhou Hanzhang thought about it and realized that it made sense.
It doesn't matter where you go; you may have the ability, but you have to accept that some people will come and challenge you.
To maintain the top position, one must continuously demonstrate one's strength to them in the short term, thus preventing them from causing trouble.
Tianan Academy has not participated many times, and if it does not participate this time, it will probably provoke other academies with ulterior motives to make a move.
It's time for them to send someone to suppress them and restore their dead memories, otherwise they'll think any shady academy can come knocking on their door.
"But my abilities are just average. As you know, Dean, I was able to get into Tianan Academy mainly because of sponsorship."
Mo Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. No, you got in through sponsorship and you're still so, so self-righteous, what's going on?
Wow, they're really rich and powerful.
"Who doesn't know that your Li family is only sponsoring us because of your cousin? We've all witnessed your abilities. Even if you didn't sponsor us, no one could say anything about you coming in."
"Really? Then I can tell my mother she doesn't need to sponsor anymore? Actually, my cousin came to the academy mainly to keep me company. I remember my mother telling me a few days ago that she wanted to build more dormitories for Tianan Academy."
"Well... you can't say that. You know, our academy spares no effort to find the best teachers for you, this..."
Mo Xuan was speechless, not expecting Zhou Hanzhang to be so lacking in martial ethics.
"Just kidding."
If Mo Xuan hadn't remembered that she was a girl, he would have definitely slapped her.
Xuan Lingzi remained calm, standing aside and watching without saying a word.
Indeed, it's rare to see my senior brother like this.
"Give me a straight answer: do you want to represent our academy in the competition?"
"Not going out."
……
"No way." Seeing that he couldn't reason with him, Mo Xuan could only say firmly.
"Our academy is full of talented people, why must it be me who goes?"
“You are the top talent in our academy. Only by crushing the people from other academies will they stop coming up to provoke us every now and then.”
As a member of the academy, the dean personally urged me to participate in the academy's battle for honor, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to keep making excuses.
However, after racking her brains, she couldn't think of any particularly outstanding talent.
Who are currently participating in our academy?
"Your four senior brothers from the same dormitory will participate, as well as Meng Yunqi, the senior brother who trained you at the beginning, Zhou Duming, Wu Tian, Zhao Xunzhen, and then you and Jiang Mingyun, making a total of ten people."
Zhou Hanzhang was taken aback. It seemed that Mo Xuan really wanted to crush him.
Leaving aside the four oddballs in their own school, let's talk about Meng Yunqi. He is someone who can fight at any time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, comparable to a great general.
Zhou Duming, Wu Tian, and Zhao Xunzhen are also top students at Tianan Academy.
Zhou Duming knew the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty by heart. But he was not only familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he also knew the laws of any country you knew or didn't know. As a lawyer, he had never lost a case.
As for Wu Tian, there are rumors that his expertise in astrology has long surpassed that of Chen Moran. However, Chen Moran uses astrology to divination and predict the future, while Wu Tian simply studies astrology. According to what Zhou Hanzhang heard, he seems to have already made a rudimentary telescope himself.
Zhao Xunzhen, what can I say about this person?
As a woman, to earn the heartfelt admiration of every man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was truly a rare talent.
She was Mr. Daoming's most satisfied student. In the field of philosophy, no one could surpass her. Even if she turned black into white, no one would refute her. And it would be useless to refute her. She always had her reasons. And what was most terrifying was that in the end, she could make you believe that she was right.
