Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Fei and Little Fatty standing before him and asked, "Is it you two who wish to enter the Imperial First Military Academy?"
"Yes," Tang Fei replied, bowing deeply to Shang Xiulin.
Although fearless, he respected his teachers and valued knowledge.
Shang Xiulin nodded thoughtfully, sizing up Tang Fei who stood before him.
He could feel Tang Fei's genuine respect, which was neither superficial nor feigned for the sake of admission. After teaching for decades, he trusted his judgment on this.
His respect came from within and could be deeply sensed as sincere.
Aren't they from the Old Land as discarded people?
Could it be that children from the Old Land have such a strong desire for cultural knowledge?
Shang Xiulin appreciated Tang Fei's respectful and reverent attitude toward teachers, reluctant to teach students who lacked even this basic quality.
