Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

As the senior sister, even if I don't particularly like this junior brother, I should still make some gesture.

After thinking about this, Xu Weixiong still held the dark red, ancient sword in his hand, but he put the book "Kaogongji" behind his back.

Xu Weixiong placed one foot on the side of the boat, then exerted a sudden force, his body seemingly flying up, and landed steadily in front of Jiang Xuan.

Upon landing, Xu Weixiong first bowed slightly to Wang Jijiu and the others before slowly turning around to look at them.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's eyes held a hint of surprise as he couldn't help but think to himself.

It has to be said that the moment Xu Weixiong leaped over the side of the boat, she gave off a heroic and dashing feeling in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

In the instant he turned his head, Xu Weixiong was surprised to see admiration in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

That's right, it's about appreciation.

This was the look in his father's and his two masters' eyes when they looked at him.

As for the eyes of others, besides awe, there were also disgust, exploitation, jealousy, and all sorts of other complex emotions.

In that instant, Xu Weixiong was stunned.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment.

Xu Weixiong immediately adjusted his demeanor and looked coldly at Jiang Xuan, though his tone seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

"You're not here to study, are you?"

Jiang Xuan thought to himself that Xu Weixiong was right; although he had come to study on the surface, he was not.

But actually, I just arrived at this school because of the system's check-in.

So it looks... like someone trying to cause trouble?

However, after arriving here, he discovered that the progress on the system was no longer zero as it had been a few days ago, but had reached five percent.

Five percent... that's still a long way off.

Moreover, because of his connection to Western Chu, he had no positive feelings toward Shangyin Academy, or rather, the entire Liyang.

However, Xu Weixiong...

No matter what, she is Ye Baikui's daughter.

Ye Baikui, on the other hand, was a military strategist and the military saint of the Great Chu.

Although the fate of Western Chu was caused by Ye Baikui's failure.

Indeed, some people in the martial arts world blamed him for the mistakes.

But Jiang Xuan is, after all, a time traveler, so he can step back and look at the issues of Western Chu from a different perspective.

Therefore, it is naturally clear that the fall of Western Chu marked the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is a product of a great era; it is not something that one person can withstand, nor should it be the person who should be able to withstand it.

In the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period, even if it wasn't Ye Baikui, but Ye Heikui or Ye Zikui, it would all be the same.

They will both lose.

No one can withstand the great changes of an era with a mortal body.

If Ye Baikui and Chen Zhibao were to switch places, Chen Zhibao's ultimate fate would also be death.

This is the era.

Jiang Xuan's thoughts were fleeting. He looked at Xu Weixiong and asked, "What? Is the Shangyin Academy so petty that it can't even tolerate a second voice?"

"In my view, the prerequisite for becoming a great power is to have a hundred schools of thought contend and to be open to all ideas."

"And the Shangyin Academy, the largest and most authoritative academy in Liyang, would actually resort to violence against a mere student?"

At this point, Jiang Xuan chuckled and turned to look at the many priests and teachers of the Shangyin Academy, revealing an expression of great interest.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's appearance, many people present were furious and even wished they could tear him apart alive.

After all, the prestigious Shangyin Academy, in Jiang Xuan's words, had become a petty and sanctimonious hypocrite who couldn't tolerate other opinions.

This is absolutely unacceptable to them.

Unreasonable!

It’s simply unreasonable!

Some people wanted to speak up, but when they thought about the verbal attack Jiang Xuan had just given them, those of them who hadn't enrolled dared not utter a word.

As for those who enrolled early, seeing their teachers back down and looking like they couldn't win, what could they do?

Therefore, the Shangyin Academy is now like meat on a hot plate.

They tried to struggle but to no avail, and being bound, they could only watch as others did as they pleased.

There were a few reckless ones, but seeing that one was killed and another was thrown into the lake by Jiang Xuan, they were all taken away.

Although Xu Weixiong was the first to die, it was Zhao Kai who was thrown out next.

That's the current prince.

In this situation, who would dare to offend Jiang Xuan?

After all, if things go wrong, you could get yourself into trouble.

At this moment, Zhao Kai was pulled out of Dayi Lake, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xuan.

If looks could kill, Jiang Xuan would probably be a riddled-with-holes corpse by now.

Jiang Xuan completely ignored the other party, not even glancing at him.

After all, Zhao Kai was nothing to him.

……

The matter at Shangyin Academy has temporarily come to an end, and many people have joined as students.

However, they will probably never forget what happened today.

After all, that young man not only killed someone, but also threw the prince into the lake.

Most importantly, he debated with a group of scholars and in the end, he surprisingly won against everyone.

What can Shangyin Academy do in the end?

It is, after all, the highest institution of learning in the Liyang Dynasty, since Jiang Xuan has said those words.

One must demonstrate the magnanimity and open-mindedness expected of someone from the Shangyin Academy.

After all, none of them could afford to lose face like this.

Chapter Eleven: This Shangyin Academy will be bustling for a while.

So even if someone wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Xuan, it wouldn't be possible at this stage.

After all, they have to appear magnanimous on the surface, while being even more wary behind the scenes.

After all, countless people in the entire Liyang Dynasty are watching this place.

They wanted to ruin the reputation of Shangyin Academy, and the simplest thing to do at this stage was to kill Jiang Xuan directly.

After all, once Jiang Xuan died, some things that were ethereal, invisible, and intangible began to become real.

Jiang Xuan didn't know so much, nor did he want to know so much.

All he needed to know was that he had joined the Shangyin Academy and that his attendance progress had increased to 10% because he had visited the dormitories there.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, then looked at the scenery outside the window, and thought to himself.

Anyway, we're in.

……

Looking at Zhang Julu, who was sitting beside him with a beaming smile, Wang Jijiu couldn't help but shake his head.

"This Jiang Xuan..." Wang Jijiu paused here, as if he had thought of something, before continuing, "You're behind him?"

Zhang Julu was taken aback at first, then nodded, and then immediately shook his head.

"I gave him a push to stay."

Wang Jijiu wasn't a fool; the moment he heard those words, he understood quite a bit.

However, he still thought Zhang Julu was playing a much bigger game, for example, that this person belonged to the other party.

As for his purpose...

Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu had known each other for a very long time.

He knew this person's abilities and character all too well.

According to Han Guzi, Zhang Julu appeared cold and taciturn on the surface, just like a pillar of the Liyang Dynasty court.

He stood there quietly, saying nothing, for it was because of him that this court existed.

Without him, this court would probably have fallen apart long ago.

Although this statement may be biased, it shows Zhang Julu's status in the imperial court.

And nobody knows what he's really thinking.

nobody.

Zhang Julu didn't say much. After taking a sip of tea, he then made his move with the black pieces.

At this moment, Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu exchanged a glance and then couldn't help but shake their heads at each other.

Some things are better left unsaid than understood.

However, Wang Jijiu could tell that Zhang Julu was indeed particularly interested in this Jiang Xuan.

He was actually interested, but sometimes that's just how it is—being interested is one thing, helping is another.

He naturally played a significant role in this incident as well.

Although he pretended to be angry on the surface, would someone who could subdue Xu Weixiong really be acting like this?

Those familiar chief priests, and even the Grand Chief Priest, would definitely be able to tell.

As for Zhang Julu, there's no need to elaborate.
