Mr. Xu glanced at the middle-aged man and shook his head, somewhat angrily saying, "You've become the dean and turned into a busy man, even abandoning the very scholarship you were once best at..."
Mr. Chen was even more blunt, "You should better stick to managing students at the academy, and not come here again next time."
Faced with the reproof from his mentors, the middle-aged man could only bow his head and offer a bitter smile.
He was merely curious, wanting to see for himself who these gentlemen had so highly praised.
He had seen the person, and also ended up unfairly receiving a scolding.
Qingfeng Academy was one of the Four Great Academies of Daxia, not just Chang'an. As the dean, he had too many matters to attend to; where would he find the time to delve into scholarship again?
He had to deal with various academy affairs during the day, and there were numerous social gatherings in the evenings.
Could he turn down an invitation from a Ministry of Personnel official?
