8 Four years of peace (1/2)
Four years later - Green lake town - Scholar pavilion.
In a small study room full to the brim of many scholars, these scholar age range from 12 - 30 The content of the teacher who sat on a wheelchair is very deep and profound many student listen intently of what he said until one of a student with 15 or 16 age asks with a smirk.
”Teacher, What you said [The most powerful weapon that will change the world is not the supreme Spirit arts or any supreme combat arts, But education] Isn't this exaggerated? or is it because you don't have spirits root, so you despise any form of spirit and combat arts?”
Some of the student that's not convinced of this fact laugh loudly like they want to humiliate the teacher on a wheelchair.
The teacher on a wheelchair look at the youth with a carefree smile. He is Zhu Wushang in 14 years of age. He's looking more mature because of his demeanor, and with a very handsome and charming but manly face with a frail look make him more like of a highborn and respectable scholar.
”Student Tian Feng this is a fact, and I never lie when it comes to teaching others. You can look outside and see the proof of this fact. If not for education we would still live in a cave or still wear animal hide right now. And because of education that you guys can train Spirits arts and Combat arts. In fact, I never despise these two arts because it is the fruit of education from many generations before us.”
Zhu Wushang touched the handle on the wheel of his wheelchair and moved to the bookshelves within the room. He kept the book that he used to teach his student in the bookshelves and turn to face them again.
”But you guys need to know that the spirits arts and combat arts were designed to take life not to create or invent anything new. Only education and our thirst for the new thing can create something from nothing, for example, my wheelchair.”
Zhu Wushang jokingly said while patting his wheelchair and many of the students happily laugh.
”Ok! that's it for today. Tomorrow is a weekend don't forget to bring me your version of the problem I ask you in the class there's no absolutely correct nor absolutely wrong. Who knows your solution might better than what I think.”
He encourages his student and claps his hand as a sign of the end of the class, but many students didn't move from their spot like they're waiting for someone.
In a moment a figure of a fairy-like girl walking into the classroom. She has raven black hair white jade skin and a goddess-like face that hide behind her blue veil.
”Haaah these guys” The teacher sigh in frustration then smiles at the goddess-like girl.
”Xiao Lan thank you” He gave a heartfelt thanks to Xiao Lan and she also gently smile back at him before she walks behind his wheelchair grab the handle above the backrest and gently brings him out of the class.
But they didn't know that Tian Feng sends a disapproving gaze at them.
[It's not like I'm not appreciated you when you had saved my sister, but you're just a cripple you do not deserve my sister.] Tian Feng thinking in his mind.
He's Tian Feng, the half-brother of Tian Xiulan. He's born from a Concubine, but the emperor favors him because of his close relation with Tian Xiulan before the emperor discovered Tian Xiulan special physic and relocate her here to hide from emperor enemies and bide her time before she strong enough to face her enemies. But unfortunately, the outcome of this decision made her relinquish her right to the throne that the emperor painstakingly secures it for her.
The emperor was furious but he can't do anything because the boy used his life to saved his beloved daughter, and the Zhu couples are his trusted aides. Zhu Songtian is the Eastern general that's guarding the border against the 5 empires alliance that is not so friendly and Zhu Yinbing who was the Grand General of his army and was once the strongest expert of the Great Pheonix empire. Even he doesn't give a damn about what Zhu Wushang has done for his daughter. He needs to think twice before provoking this couples because he doesn't want to lose half of his empire because of this matter.
That's why the emperor sends Tian Feng here to monitor these two and also to protect them from duke Tian Dong because the emperor still wants to drag more time. Before conferring a new crown prince or find a way to cancel Tian Xiulan decree without causing a stir because he doesn't want a blindly-ambitious man like Duke Tian Dong to get his hand on the throne.
That's why he came and stay here for about two years now, but surprisingly the class of this Zgu Wushang is very practical, and many subjects are beneficial to him, almost all of Zhu Wushang teaching are unreputable facts, and he also encourages his student to think in their own way. So he starts to think if this Zhu Wushang has the strength to flee from his enemies by himself he might seriously consider him as a candidate for his brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, this Zhu Wushang only has his brain, but not strength which is very important in this world society.
