"Mr. Xie!"
When Lü Yan saw him, a smile appeared on his face.
Xie Feng looked at the boys, "Were these kids just recruited?"
Lü Yan nodded slightly. " Grandmaster Han and the others just brought them over. They come from all over the Dao Realm and have passed Grandmaster Han's entrance examination. They are all promising talents for learning the Literary Dao!"
"An entrance exam?" Xie Feng frowned.
"What's wrong?" Lü Yan blinked, somewhat puzzled.
Xie Feng's face darkened. He said, "Please invite Grandmaster Han over. I have something to say to him!"
Lü Yan looked up and said somewhat timidly, "Mr. Xie, you... you don't seem happy?"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it, just ask for help!"
Lü Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She rarely saw Xie Feng so cold towards his own people, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She nodded and left in a hurry.
A moment later.
Lü Yan brought Han Yu over.
"Dean, you wanted to see me?"
Han Yu looked extremely apprehensive.
He had just heard from Lü Yan that the dean looked unwell and that it might be related to him, and he started sweating!
Most importantly, he didn't realize he had made a mistake!
Although Xie Feng was very young, for some reason, I always felt a deep sense of fear in his presence...
Xie Feng raised his eyes, pointed at the children, and asked, " Grandmaster Han, did they pass the entrance exam to get in?"
Han Yu glanced at Xie Feng, then at the child, then at Lü Yan. He felt he had asked the wrong question and frantically racked his brains for a proper answer...
The Lü Yan states. " Grandmaster Han, Mr. Xie is asking you a question!"
Han Yu said, "Ah... yes!"
Xie Feng stared sharply at his old face and asked coldly, "Has this master ever set any rules for the entrance examination?"
"Oh, this..."
Han Yu's forehead was covered in sweat!
Xie Feng continued, "Does Grandmaster Han still remember one of the tenets of the Pill Maple Academy?"
"Equality for all, education for all!"
"In that case, I'd like to know, why is there an entrance exam? Is it to weed out certain people?"
"I also want to recruit more talented students for the academy. If we don't consider their abilities and send them all, wouldn't that create opportunities for some people to take advantage..."
Large beads of sweat appeared on Han Yu's forehead.
"I see!" Xie Feng nodded. " Grandmaster Han has truly gone to great lengths, managing the academy as if it were his own home. I am proud to have a Grandmaster Han like you! However, Pill Maple Academy does not require this kind of entrance examination!"
Xie Feng's eyes were sharp, his face expressionless, but his voice was calm and deep, not like someone who was angry.
However, the more mysterious and unpredictable it is, the more uncertain people feel!
Seeing Han Yu covered in cold sweat and looking utterly ashamed, Xie Feng's gaze softened slightly, but his tone became even harsher.
" Grandmaster Han, it seems I still can't convince you that Pill Maple Academy can cultivate geniuses that other academies can! And Pill Maple Academy can cultivate geniuses that other academies can't!"
Han Yu swallowed hard.
He wanted to select exceptionally bright children for admission. This would not only lighten their teaching load, but also ensure that intelligent children would have a much higher probability of future success and thus better repay the academy...
Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake, a huge mistake!
The mistake was not trusting Xie Feng!
Everyone, regardless of their identity, gender, class, or appearance, should receive an equal education! This is one of the core principles of the Pill Maple Academy...
This is what the dean said before, but now he's specifically selecting students. Isn't this a slap in the dean's face? No wonder he's so angry!
Han Yu lowered his head. "Dean, I was wrong!"
Taking the initiative to admit mistakes is something many senior colleagues cannot do, because they have stubborn pride and self-esteem. Many people know they are wrong, but they will still use their seniority to argue unreasonably.
Han Yu acknowledged his mistake and corrected it, which is commendable!
Xie Feng's expression softened considerably. He said, " Grandmaster Han, it's good that you understand the academy's principles and my own philosophy. This will not be a repeat of this!"
Han Yu wiped his sweat. "Thank you, Dean!"
This scene left the ten boys speechless. It was the first time they had heard the concept of "education for all" during the conversation between the two, and they were all quite curious about it.
Xie Feng then asked Lü Yan to bring over the ten Star Clan children he had previously recruited. Lü Yan complied, and soon all twenty children had gathered.
Xie Feng briefly inquired about their studies. In fact, with four grandmaster-level experts providing instruction, there was no need to worry about the children's foundation in Literary Dao.
Lü Yan introduced the ten new students to the group, saying, "Children, I forgot to tell you, this is Dean Xie of our Pill Maple Academy. Say hello to Dean Xie!"
"Hello, Dean!"
The children answered in unison.
Xie Feng nodded.
"I know the Dean, he's number one on the Heavenly Ranking!"
"He is the one who wrote the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion and thus inherited the Military Confucian!"
"My dad said Dean Xie eats children. Humph, he lied to me!"
"How could someone as handsome as the dean eat children!"
The children started talking all at once, and the style of the drawing gradually went astray...
"Cough..."
Xie Feng looked somewhat uneasy. He asked, " Lü Yan, have you found out who's spreading rumors?!"
Lü Yan said, "We've found out! It was the new patriarch of the Spirit Clan Hai Kuoyun, who ordered the distribution!"
The Spirit Clan was a name Xie Feng was familiar with. Previously, the Spirit Clan, Ghost Clan, and Blaze Clan had joined forces to kill him, but in the end, the Ghost Clan Chief Ghost Emperor and the Spirit Clan Chief Gu Tao perished at Dark Ink Mountain!
It has to be said that the major clans in the Dao Realm are truly wealthy; even after their clan leader died, a new ruler ascended the throne so quickly!
And it doesn't stop them from dealing with themselves at all!
Make a note of this name for now, and I'll pay a visit to this new clan leader when I have some free time!
Xie Feng's eyes turned cold, a murderous intent swirling within them.
"Dean, may I ask you a question?" At this moment, a fair-skinned young man with a hint of arrogance in his eyes raised his hand and asked.
"What's the problem?" Xie Feng asked with a smile.
The boy looked up, his eyes shining. "Dean, I want to know what the Literary Dao is? And why do we study the Literary Dao?!"
Xie Feng's smile faded, and he asked seriously, "What's your name?"
" Tang Ran!"
"Where are you from?"
" Snow Clan!"
"You want to know what the Literary Dao is, and the purpose of studying Literary Dao?"
"Yes!"
Tang Ran stared directly at Xie Feng with undisguised eyes!
Xie Feng laughed, "I haven't seen that defiant look in my eyes for a long time. It seems that if I can't give you a satisfactory answer, you might question me Literary Dao in the future. Since you want to know, then I'll tell you..."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his palm, Power of the Literary Dao surged upwards.
He thrust out with his palm.
Bang!!
Before Tang Ran could react, her legs buckled and she knelt down!
This scene shocked the other students, who took a step back and dared not utter a sound!
