Chapter 56: Imperial College Sacrificial Officer

The scholar with the high crown and broad belt quickly walked along the lakeside, passed several willows, walked another hundred paces, and arrived in front of an ancient stone tablet.

The stone tablet was carved with four pictographic characters. The ancient script seemed to carry the traces of time, endowing the stone tablet with an unmistakable thickness and vastness, which unconsciously slowed the steps of the scholar.

He simply stopped in his tracks, straightened his clothes and hat, and then entered the majestic pavilion by the lakeside with a steady pace.

Inside the pavilion, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, filling the interior space and leaving only narrow pathways. Even the walls were composed of bookshelves, with countless books and scrolls placed on them from floor to over ten zhang high.

An old man in casual clothes hovered in mid-air, taking a bamboo slip from a bookshelf.

"Sacrificial Officer."

The scholar respectfully saluted the old man.
