Chapter 065 – Journey With Wise Men (2/2)

“Princ.i.p.al is right, my brother is a precious jade.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. “Stones can't s.h.i.+ne no matter what.”

“——”

Zhao Mingzhu looked at Li Muyang with a serious expression and asked him for guidance: “Muyang, can you tell teacher your secret to success? What is your learning style? How long do you spend studying every day? What about your resting time? Is there a unique technique to rapidly improve your grades? I'm just asking for your junior schoolmates, I hope they can be like you and amaze the world as the kingdom's most dazzling presence——”

This question truly baffled Li Muyang, does sleeping all day count as a unique technique? Being struck by lightning is a secret to success?

“I think—–” Li Muyang said embarra.s.singly, his glance evading hers: “Just never give up and you will have the opportunity.”

Li Muyang suddenly remembered Cui Xiaoxin, because she's the first one to tell Li Muyang to never give up: 'As long as you never give up there will be an opportunity'. She also did not feel troubled to tutor Li Muyang everyday, she even explained utterly simple questions over and over again to him.

If she knew about his results, if she knew that he achieved the first place in the exams in the entire kingdom, she will definitely feel happy for him, right?

Lin Zhengyin made a gesture with her hand and said: “Teach according to the student's ability, how could there be a universal law for success?”

“Princ.i.p.al is right, I was too pressing.” Zhao Mingzhu nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhengyin looked at Muyang with a kind face and said with a smile: “Muyang has achieved first place in the exams out of the entire kingdom, this is the greatest glory our school had received in hundred of years, this is also the greatest glory I, Lin Zhengyin, has achieved in my whole life—–To obtain the first place among all the famous schools in the kingdom is indeed incredibly difficult. It's almost something unimaginable.”

“Princ.i.p.al, I just——”

Lin Zhengyin waved her hand and said: “Muyang no need to be modest. I also have been a student; I understand the hards.h.i.+p and difficulty. Although I'm unsure of the background of Starry Sky Academy but it must be a great college—–Only with the results of the first place in the exams could be admitted into this school. It's already clear that this is not an ordinary school, after you enter Starry Sky you must continue to try your best and achieve remarkable results.”

“Thank you princ.i.p.al for your teaching.”

“I think your senor is not an ordinary person, but more like those cultivator celestial beings from the legends, perhaps your fate from here will also be uncertain—–Regardless whether you seek a career or longevity, the key lies in the heart. No matter what you want you should go chase after it. We definitely will support you.”

“Thank you princ.i.p.al for your advice”. Li Muyang just kept nodding.

“Each year when the heroes list is announced, the school will give out major rewards. This year, Cui Xiaoxin is at the top of the list, she should receive an award. Today I made a decision on my own; I will reward you and Cui Xiaoxin student equally. Wait until the list of the kingdoms's exam results are issued to each city and town, the governor and city's lord will certainly reward greatly—–” “

“Thank you—-“

Lin Zhengyin waved her hand, indicating Li Muyang need not to thank her anymore.

She looked at Li Muyang and said: “Muyang, your name will be engraved on a school's plate, together with your incredible milestone, so that other students will follow you as an example and everyone will strive to achieve the honour of being the first place in the kingdom—-I know you will soon be leaving to study, you may wish to take this opportunity to inscribe a few words for your junior schoolmates, I will tell people to engrave it on the motto stone in front of the school's gate. So we can admire it each day and encourage ourselves to improve and learn. What do you think?”

“Lin princ.i.p.al, I don't think that's necessary?” Li Muyang quickly refused: “I'm not used to this.”

“Muyang, you can't refuse this sort of thing.” Lin Zhengyin said with a serious face: “it's for me, for the school but also for your junior schoolmates, how about it?”

“Brother, do it.” Li s.h.i.+nian said agitatedly: “When I go to school I can see your words every day, just how intimate would that be?” “

“Yes Muyang, engraving the stone is a major event. You gain so much glory for the school we should let everyone know your credits.” Zhao Mingzhu said comfortingly beside him.

“But I really don't know what to write.”

“It's okay, take your time to think.” Lin Zhengyin said patiently: “You can think while drinking tea.”

And then shouted at the people behind: “Come, bring pen and ink.”

Li Muyang knows he can't refuse anymore, he got up and said: “Then I'll embarra.s.s myself.”

“Our thousands of students are incredibly fortunate.” Lin Zhengyin said.

Li Muyang walked over to the table, holding a brush with ink in his hand, he gazed for a long time in silence.

Everyone surrounded him as they looked forward to his words with a smiling face.

After a long while, Li Muyang's finally began to write, on the white blank paper he wrote a line of words: Journey with wise men!

“Good, good words.” Lin Zhengyin was full of praise. “The words are good, the meaning is even better. Journey with wise men, and then you will definitely gain something, increase your knowledge and open up new horizons. Muyang's insight is not ordinary at all, worthy of celebration.”

“The next line?” Zhao Mingzhu asked with a smile. “Muyang, quickly write down the next line. I can't wait.” “

“There's no second line.” Li Muyang placed down the brush and said while shaking his head.

“How can you not have a next line?” Lin Zhengyin was also anxious, she said: “Muyang, you got off to an amazing start, it needs a perfect ending. Otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret—–”

“But princ.i.p.al, I really didn't think of a second line.”

“Think again, think again, we're in no rush, no hurry.” Lin Zhengyin said impatiently, with a look that says if you don't write the second line you won't walk out this door.

“Princ.i.p.al, then this time I really will embarra.s.s myself.” Li Muyang put on a brave face and said.

“Not at all, not at all, not embarra.s.sing at all. We will only be amazed and pleasantly surprised.”

“I have a hunch that this will become a famous pair of lines for centuries —–”

“Brother, just write it, don't be modest—–”

Li Muyang once again began to write, neatly writing the next line on the huge blank paper: Rejected by r.e.t.a.r.ds!
