Chen Changsheng began to understand. He said uncertainly, ”The third sword really is rather difficult. Based off what Su Li said, even he couldn't learn it. But the other two swords…”
He was originally planning to say that when he was learning them, he didn't feel it to be difficult at all. However, upon seeing Tang Thirty-Six's complexion, he with great difficulty swallowed back down the second part of his statement. Tang Thirty-Six sneered, ”The second sword is clearly a technique Su Li created to address the problem of your meridians, so how can we learn it? As for the first sword, it requires far too much calculation ability. Did you think anyone could do it?”
Chen Changsheng thought to himself, Lady Chujian's calculation ability is much stronger than mine.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and asked in an exceptionally serious tone, ”Chen Changsheng…do you really not know that you're a genius?”
Chen Changsheng considered the question. My memory is rather good, and as for my calculation ability, it should have been greatly strengthened in the Mausoleum of Books. As for me being a genius… He shook his head.
Tang Thirty-Six asked, ”When we first met at the Heavenly Dao Academy, what did I say to you?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”You said that I was a genius.”
Tang Thirty-Six patted him on the shoulder, ”Believe me, I've never evaluated a person wrongly.”
Chen Changsheng thought about this but couldn't find a way to respond.
Tang Thirty-Six added, ”Right, you have to teach me the True Sword of the Orthodoxy and Toppling Mountain Staff.”
Puzzled, Chen Changsheng asked, ”You're not even willing to glance at the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style, so why do you want to learn those?”
”I'm a student of the Orthodox Academy, so it's only natural that I learn the sword styles of the Orthodox Academy. What would I do with the Mount Li Sword Style?” Tang Thirty-Six looked at Chen Changsheng as if he was an idiot, the fact that he had praised him as a genius just a few moments ago already forgotten. ”In addition, since I plan to be the academy superintendent, if it came out that I didn't know these two sword styles, wouldn't I be making a fool of myself?”
In the past, the True Sword of the Orthodoxy was the basic sword style that every expert of the Orthodox Academy could use. It was by no means lacking in might, but it didn't have many techniques.
As for the Toppling Mountain Staff, it wasn't actually a sword style, but rather the staff style used in the past by the lecturers in charge of discipline to punish disobedient students.
Yes, Chen Changsheng would become Principal of the new Orthodox Academy and Tang Thirty-Six would become the new Orthodox Academy's first academy superintendent. The housekeeping supervisor for the new Orthodox Academy would be Xuanyuan Po. Zhexiu was still recovering, but his position had also been taken care of already. In the future, he would be responsible for teaching the students of the Orthodox Academy how to fight and the skill necessary to survive in the snowy plains of the land of demons. Of course, the Orthodox Academy still had a most exalted position left for Luoluo. It was the lifelong position as honorary Vice Principal, and the rules of the new academy clearly stated that the Orthodox Academy would no longer appoint anyone to the seat of Vice Principal.
On a certain day at the height of summer, the street outside Hundred Flowers Lane was densely packed with people, while within the lane, colored flags fluttered in the wind.
After twenty years, the Orthodox Academy finally formally reopened.
To many elders within the Orthodoxy, this was a grand occasion. It couldn't be counted how many old priests soaked the front of their gowns in tears.
To the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education, this was the greatest legacy left behind by the late archbishop and also his most cherished desire. Many priests and officials were filled with happiness as well as a dull sense of grief.
To the Imperial clan, this was the first time after so many years of silence that they were finally able to make their voice heard to the rest of the continent. Although Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six definitely did not think this way, this did not make them completely forget when Prince Chen Liu attended the ceremony that many eyes were watching them and that the Divine Empress would perhaps soon learn of this danger, causing them to stroke a tree in comfort and sigh with boundless regret.
To the one hundred new students of the Orthodox Academy, this was the beginning of their brand new lives and also their greatest opportunity.
To the Tianhai clan and the new faction of the Orthodoxy, this was a rather dangerous signal.
As for Mo Yu, this…was a joke.
”You being the principal is fine. In any case, it was His Holiness's sacred words that arbitrarily decided it. Princess Luoluo is also fine, since it's only in name anyway. But for Tang Tang, that guy who can't even supervise himself, to actually become academy superintendent? You don't think that he's most likely going to take the students to get completely drunk and then have them skip class every day? That black bear acting as housekeeping supervisor? You're not worried that even if Clear Lake Restaurant's head chef, for the sake of money, cooked a massive number of dishes, he would eat it all up?”
Mo Yu was laughing so hard that she was shaking. ”And the most hilarious of all is Zhexiu! Teach students how to survive? When the time comes, he would bury the students in the snow and say 'if you come out before seven days, you fail!' Hey, I have to ask, just how many coffins have you guys prepared?”
This place was Chen Changsheng's room in the small building. He sat across from her, seeming rather exhausted. This exhaustion primarily had to do with the fact that there had been too many things to do today. Of course, it assuredly had something to do with her teasing him to her heart's content as well.
