Chapter 75 – Qing Qing Enters the City


Imperial Academy, North Courtyard Classroom.

Li Ziye’s class on personal hygiene caused a sensation throughout the Imperial Academy.

Students from the North, West, and South courtyards were all drawn to it.

Inside and outside the classroom, it was packed with people.

Just as Li Ziye was about to take out a diagram of a woman’s reproductive system and use his ultimate move, urgent footsteps were heard from outside.

“Head Confucian Instructor.”

Many students from the Imperial Academy saw the newcomer and were immediately shocked, respectfully bowing and making way.

Behind the Head Confucian Instructor, a few old instructors followed. When they saw the images posted in Li Ziye’s classroom, the Head Confucian Instructor’s face turned red with anger.

This is an insult to the culture, an insult!

Beside the Head Confucian Instructor, Bai Wangyu quietly gave Li Ziye a meaningful look, meaning, “Good luck to you.”

Li Ziye also returned a look, then grinned, meaning, “Who cares!”

“Instructor Li, come out for a moment.”

In front of the classroom, the Head Confucian Instructor spoke politely.

“Students, please wait a moment. This instructor will be right back.”

Li Ziye glanced at the students in the classroom, then calmly walked out.

Outside the classroom, the Head Confucian Instructor looked around and said in a low voice, “Kid, what are you doing? This is the Imperial Academy, not a brothel!”

“The Confucian Scholar said that as long as there are students willing to listen, I can teach whatever I want.” Li Ziye grinned.

The Head Confucian Instructor felt a pang in his chest. This kid actually dared to use the Confucian Scholar’s words to pressure him!

On the side, Bai Wangyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This guy is really out of control now, and he can’t be restrained.

If he had known that this guy had been messing around with this during the days when Li Yuan was in seclusion, he would have said that this kid couldn’t come.

Now, the joke in the Imperial Academy has become a big deal. If today’s events spread, I’m afraid the entire capital city will know about it.

“Give me some face, and we’ll end it here today.” The Head Confucian Instructor suppressed his anger and said.

“But the class is only halfway through.” Li Ziye looked embarrassed.

“What do you want?” The Head Confucian Instructor asked directly.

“Give me a Medicinal King plant.” Li Ziye made a bold request.

“The Imperial Academy only has one Medicinal King plant, and it’s already been given to you!” The Head Confucian Instructor lowered his voice and said angrily.

“Oh, the students are still waiting for me to go back to class.”

After speaking, Li Ziye turned and was about to walk back into the classroom.

“Wait.”

The Head Confucian Instructor immediately reached out and stopped him. Although he was burning with anger, he had to temporarily agree, and said in a deep voice, “As for the Medicinal King plant, I and the other instructors will figure it out. You should stop the class for now.”

“You should have said so earlier.”

Li Ziye chuckled lightly, then stepped back into the classroom.

Below, the expectant and embarrassed gazes of the students, Li Ziye put away all the images and grinned, “Class dismissed!”

As soon as the words fell, all the students in the Imperial Academy were stunned.

Dismissed? Is it over?

What about the next lesson on women’s reproductive health?

Fraud!

The students in the Imperial Academy came to their senses and were all angry!

After waiting for so long, is this it?

Li Ziye felt the burning anger from the people below, and didn’t dare to stay any longer, turning around and leaving.

“Old Bai, let’s go!”

Outside the classroom, Li Ziye gave Bai Wangyu a look, indicating that they should leave quickly.

“Head Confucian, all the instructors, this disciple will go back first.”

After receiving Li Ziye’s signal, Bai Wangyu bowed and then quickly followed.

On the way.

“Brother Li, have you gone crazy!”

Bai Wangyu complained, “Didn’t we agree not to mess around?”

“I didn’t mess around!” Li Ziye replied, “The class on personal hygiene is a very scientific and solemn course. I think it’s necessary to continue teaching this class.”

“You want to continue?” Bai Wangyu was shocked, “Aren’t you afraid of the instructors beating you up?”

“Is the Head Confucian more important, or the Confucian Scholar?” Li Ziye asked.

“Of course, it’s the Confucian Scholar.” Bai Wangyu replied.

“Then that’s it. The Confucian Scholar agreed that I can teach whatever I want. If the four instructors have any objections, they can go to the Confucian Scholar!” Li Ziye grinned.

“…”

Bai Wangyu didn’t know how to refute.

Eastern Courtyard of the Imperial Academy.

In front of the Confucian Scholar’s small courtyard, the four instructors gathered.

“Confucian Scholar!”

The Head Confucian Instructor said urgently, “We can’t let that kid continue to mess around like this. The students of the Imperial Academy are all the pillars of our Great Shang. If that kid keeps playing around, it won’t be long before the Imperial Academy becomes a laughingstock in the eyes of the world.”

“What you said is true, Head Confucian.” The other three instructors echoed.

“Is it really as exaggerated as you all say?”

Inside the courtyard, Kong Qiu watered the vegetables with a ladle, and replied.

“Confucian Scholar, the most important thing in our Confucian School is etiquette, but the actions of that kid are truly against the teachings. Even if the Confucian Scholar loves talent, he can’t let that kid do as he pleases.” The Head Confucian Instructor was a little anxious as he spoke.”Um…”

Kong Qiu thought for a moment and nodded, “You make a good point. How about this, you have Wangyu bring that kid here, and I’ll talk to him.”

“Yes!”

The Confucian scholar glanced at the other three elders and respectfully agreed.

Two days later.

“No, Confucian Scholar, you can’t go back on your word.”

Li Ziye pulled a radish out of the vegetable garden, washed it with clean water, and sat on the ground, nibbling on it as he spoke.

“All four elders have come to me, and I can’t pretend I didn’t hear them. You have to give me some face.”

Kong Qiu looked at the small, unripe radish in Li Ziye’s hand with a hint of heartache.

“Confucian Scholar, those four old men are too rigid. Do you know why the maternal mortality rate is so high in this world? It’s because no one has ever taught them about reproductive health.”

Li Ziye took a bite of the radish and continued, “I’m saving lives, the class must go on.”

“Is it necessary?”

Kong Qiu asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“Of course it’s necessary,” Li Ziye nodded.

“Alright then.”

After thinking for a moment, Kong Qiu said, “You can continue with this class, but make it a bit more discreet. Don’t be so explicit, after all, this is not your era, and many things are still unacceptable to the world.”

“More discreet?”

Li Ziye heard this and rubbed his chin, “That’s very challenging, Confucian Scholar. I’ve encountered a bottleneck in my recent cultivation. The Flying Immortal Technique is too difficult to practice, and I have no other martial arts to practice. What do you think?”

“You can learn the martial arts of the Confucian School at will.”

Kong Qiu understood and replied with a smile.

“It’s tiring to study martial arts while preparing lessons for students. It really hinders my own progress in martial arts,” Li Ziye continued.

“You can take the elixirs of the Confucian School as you please.”

Kong Qiu replied, then added, “However, those elixirs are difficult to refine, so don’t overdo it to avoid causing public outrage.”

“Confucian Scholar, you really have foresight. Why can you be the leader of the Confucian School, but those old men can’t? This is the difference, the gap in vision!” Li Ziye stood up, feeling great, and handed the half radish in his hand to Kong Qiu, “Do you want to eat? It tastes good.”

“No, thank you.”

Kong Qiu’s mouth twitched and he said, “Go back now, Wangyu is still waiting for you.”

“Alright, goodbye.”

Li Ziye took back his radish, waved his hand casually, and walked out of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Kong Qiu watched the young man leave with a pensive look on his aging face.

Perhaps, the young master of the Li Family was right.

Sometimes, experiencing pain firsthand is the only way to understand the value of peace.

Outside the small courtyard, Bai Wangyu saw Li Ziye walk out and asked curiously, “Did the Confucian Scholar agree?”

“Of course.”

Li Ziye nodded, “I can persuade people with virtue and reason. How could the Confucian Scholar not agree?”

“Wow.”

Bai Wangyu couldn’t help but gasp in disbelief, “Did the Confucian Scholar really agree to let you continue teaching that class?”

“It’s true. Do you think I could lie to you about something like this?”

Li Ziye said confidently.

Bai Wangyu felt a headache coming on. What was happening to the world all of a sudden?

“Princess Qing Qing is about to enter the city!”

As they walked, a few students from the Imperial Academy hurriedly passed by from behind, saying excitedly, “It’s rumored that Princess Qing Qing is the second most beautiful woman in our Great Shang, second only to the Ninth Princess in the palace.”

“Princess Qing Qing is entering the city?”

Li Ziye heard the students’ words and was taken aback, then he grabbed the little red hat next to him and hurried forward, “Let’s go, let’s go see too.”

He loved to join in the excitement like this!

Outside the West City Gate, a grand procession of carriages arrived. The Southwest Prince, Zhu Qingge, had already gone to greet them, leading his guards to guide his sister into the capital.

“We can’t even see what Princess Qing Qing looks like!”On either side of the street, Li Ziye stood on tiptoes, peering towards the carriage in the middle, grumbling discontentedly.

“Brother Li, Princess Qing Qing is still an unmarried lady; of course, she wouldn’t show her face in public.”

Beside him, Bai Wangyu said helplessly.

“I see her, I see her, Princess Qing Qing is so beautiful!”

Before Little Red Riding Hood could finish speaking, Li Ziye’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to shout like an idiot, almost drooling.

In the midst of the procession, Princess Qing Qing lifted the curtain of her carriage, looking towards the back of the line.

Her exquisite beauty was breathtaking, dazzling all onlookers on the street.

Next to Li Ziye, Bai Wangyu discreetly moved a bit away, really not wanting to be too close to this fool.

It was too embarrassing!

“Hm?”

Suddenly, Bai Wangyu’s body shook as if he sensed something, his gaze shifting across the street.

There, behind the crowd on the opposite side of the street, stood a young, fair-skinned novice monk, the Buddhist mark on his forehead bright and captivating, like a flickering flame seizing the soul.

“Buddhist Disciple, San Zang!”

Upon seeing the Buddhist mark on the novice’s forehead, Bai Wangyu’s expression immediately turned solemn.

How did he also come here?
