Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 393 How can you tell if you are male or female?

"I heard that you disrupted Professor Shi's class as soon as you entered the academy. That's very brave of you."

His signature smile is very approachable.

But Zhu Yingtai's excited expression immediately vanished, and she was scared half to death. In the underworld, someone crossed the Bridge of Helplessness with this expression on their face.

Seeing that the other party was a little flustered, Xu Xuan said that Professor Shi was not such a petty person, which made the atmosphere harmonious again.

It's certainly a happy occasion to meet an old friend in the underworld, but this little girl is a spoiled young lady who has been imprisoned for a long time.

So first, give the other person a heads-up about not being too mischievous at the academy, as some professors really dislike being interrupted during class.

To be precise, none of the professors liked it.

He sat beside the master, and when the master asked him a question, he answered it.

If something is included in the Book of Rites, it is something that all scholars agree with.

She used to be a young lady, but now that she's at the academy, she's a scholar and must hold herself to the standards of a scholar, or she'll cause quite a bit of trouble.

Following these rules will greatly benefit Zhu Yingtai's future; perhaps someone will be willing to lend a hand.

When Madam Zhu came to study at the academy, it was obvious that she had won the appreciation of the academician's wife, which is why she was given a spot that was almost a joke.

Then Xu Xuan led this student Zhu on a tour of the academy, formally going through the freshman process.

This is... that is...
After all, this is where you'll be living for the next three years, so I hope you read this very carefully.

Especially the legendary Forest of Steles.

"Master Xu, those who disobey really do carve words a thousand times! It's said that a scholar even coughed up blood and stained a stone tablet red. Where is that?"

At this moment, Zhu Yingtai was notoriously reckless and audacious, daring to ask such a question directly.

If I didn't know what kind of person she was, I would have thought she was here to provoke me.

"Ahem, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. Only the most outstanding people have the right to leave a trace."

"You should work hard and try to come here for further studies as soon as possible."

Xu Xuan was outraged by this slander. "If you spread this propaganda, wouldn't you be turning Qincheng, a city for high-ranking officials, and Tilanqiao, a hub for finance, into such places?"

This place will be promoted as a sacred site of academies in the future. Under the influence of its cultural heritage and auspicious energy, as long as each generation of students firmly believes in this, a group of Confucian guardian stones will be created.

I want to emphasize again that everyone who leaves this place is a good person.

Besides
"Coughing up blood and staining the stone tablet? That's utter nonsense."

“It would take at least three adult men to bleed to build this stone tablet on our left.”

"After all, a normal person cannot completely expel all the blood from their body, so the data from three people is a bit more rigorous."

Zhu Yingtai nodded repeatedly, thinking that Master Xu knew a lot, and that she must never offend the teacher at the academy in the future.

After all, this man really knows how much health is needed to fully restore the stone tablet.

Xu Xuan, why can't students these days even act? Look at that expression... Never mind, I won't say anything more.

As his reputation grew, many inexplicable legends indeed began to circulate.

Just like those famous scholars, they would experience things like reading to exorcise ghosts and spirits, becoming disciples of foxes, or finding manuscripts of ancient sages.

These stories are associated with Yu Gong, the Grand Secretary, Shen Shanzhang, and all those active scholars.

The reason why Instructor Xu was able to gain such a legendary status so quickly is due to the support of Chongqi Academy, a top-tier platform for scholars in Jiangnan.

The youngest instructor, a talent certified by the three academies' principals, and the reputation spread by his distinguished students.

After two years of building up her reputation, it became increasingly difficult for her to keep a low profile when going out.

Finally, they escorted Zhu Yingtai back to her private room.

Before leaving, he tossed a paper turtle to the other person.

"This is?"

"Take a look at the bronze mirror."

Zhu Yingtai obediently looked over, and at first glance, nothing seemed to have changed, but upon closer inspection, she realized something was amiss.

Her features remained unchanged, but her demeanor had become more masculine. Her physique also looked more masculine. "A little gadget from a pre-Qin sorcerer, carried with you to conceal your female form."

This item was seized from the demon's water palace; that little trick couldn't possibly fool anyone with a keen sense of spirituality.

But it is precisely because of this weakness that they can exert their abilities in the pure atmosphere of the academy.

If Zhu Yingtai only used the trick of binding her breasts, she wouldn't be able to fool the many shrewd people in the academy.

The three heroes were alright; they saw through it but didn't say anything.

Of the three oddities, Zao Tongxue is not a talkative person. Ning Caichen already has someone in mind, so Ji Rui must be careful.

In order to avoid causing any trouble, Xu Xuan took action to eliminate this potential threat.

As for the eternal love
He won't artificially end the storyline just to force a romance into happening, nor will he prevent the romance from happening.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were both students at Chongqi Academy.

These two should have their own choices, and the final choice rests with Zhu Yingtai.

If someone can still fall in love after all this, it must be true love, especially for Liang.

"I hope you can all live the life you want."

Xu Xuan was stopped by Ji Rui as soon as he walked back towards the classroom.

If you go around this guy, you can see a bunch of students crouching behind him, including the Three Heroes. It's clear they're all hoping that Ji will bring back some information.

At this point, enrolling in school was nothing special; it was a privilege of aristocratic families.

Living in a single dormitory is nothing unusual; the mountain area is so large that there are always some students with particularly powerful backgrounds who can stay there.

However, by this time, very few people could have Instructor Xu personally lead them on a tour of the academy.

Could this somewhat effeminate-looking young man be a relative of the instructor?

"Teacher Xu, the one from this morning?"

"The child of the academician's wife's former student."

Got it, it's because of the big boss. Looks like Master Xu is quite ambitious, huh? Hehehehehehe
Ji's expression was very easy to understand, so he was personally escorted to the Stele Forest to complete his unfinished work.

Upon hearing the news, the people behind scattered like birds and beasts, not caring at all about the warrior's fate.

Day two.

The warriors have returned, continuing to enliven the atmosphere of the academy.

Until the old instructor came in.

These veteran instructors belonged to a more conservative faction within the academy, adhering to outdated doctrines.

However, he was also pragmatic and never opposed Coach Xu's reforms.

His most famous skill was his ability to judge people.

Aside from Xu Jiaoxi breaking this move by walking on foot, everyone else was hit!

When he saw Zhu Yingtai, he used all his skills.

The new students were first asked to pay their respects to Confucius, the Sage Teacher, before being seated.

"A wise man, when he acts, thinks of the principles behind it; when he drinks, he thinks of the source of his beverage. How so are you?"

"By car, oxcart."

After much commotion, Zhu Yingtai revealed that she had dined with the academician's wife, and the old professor nodded in satisfaction.

My skill in judging people is indeed reliable.

"In that case, you may sit down."

Zhu Yingtai still sat in the front row, alongside a few old, blind, and still obsessed people.

This location is definitely not bad, but it's not ideal either.
