Turns Out She Was a White Lotus of the Age

Zhou Wanwan blinked and said, "There's actually such a thing about entering White Deer Academy? No wonder so many people want to get into the White Deer Academy!"

Luo Xue looked at her with disdain and said:

"With your background, temperament, and shallow vision, you dare to dream of entering White Deer Academy?"

White Deer Academy is a prestigious institution of learning that scholars from all over the world aspire to attend, admitting students from respectable families, of upright character, and with exceptional talent.

For an ordinary woman, being able to step into the courtyard was already an immense honor.

Every female disciple who graduated from the academy was exceptionally eloquent and insightful, and her future husbands were all sons of noble families and powerful clans.

They all married influential figures in the court and from prominent families, enjoying a life of wealth, honor, and respect.

Zhou Wanwan pouted and said, "Oh, so you came to the White Deer Academy just to get married?"

Luo Xue snorted coldly and said:

"Of course not. I came to the White Deer Academy with a heart full of learning, just to read more of the classics, understand the principles of things, and know about my country and my family."

In the future, may they be able to empathize with the difficulties of the people and bear in their hearts the suffering of all living beings.

I am willing to use my knowledge and skills to bring peace and stability to the common people and to add a touch of justice to the world.

The people around were all talking about it.

"I never expected this, from a mere woman."

Such a broad mind and magnanimous spirit, truly admirable.

"I've long heard of Miss Luo Xue's reputation; her knowledge and demeanor far surpass those of many of us men."

"Yes, ordinary women only think about living a peaceful life and marrying into a wealthy family, but she is concerned about the suffering of the people. This kind of ambition is truly rare."

"Such talent and magnanimity make her a rare woman, one in a hundred years."

Even as a woman, she is destined for a bright future, far surpassing that of ordinary young ladies confined to their chambers.

Compared to her, we grown men seem so narrow-minded; we are truly ashamed!

Several teachers exchanged glances and nodded, especially the female teachers, who whispered, "This woman's character is indeed excellent."

"As for Zhou Wanwan, she seems so petty. I don't want a student like that."

Zhou Wanwan looked up at the female teacher and said, "So, just saying a few words makes you a good person! Then I'll say a few words too."

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said, "I study to establish a moral compass for the world, to secure a future for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in Taiping for all generations."

Everyone was stunned. Could this really be something a six-year-old child would say?

Several teachers were deeply moved. "This child... this child is extraordinary! Only six years old, yet he has such awareness."

"It's a pity it's a woman; if it were a man, he would have been an astounding figure!"

"I bet this child heard something from someone, or that's what his elders taught him. He'll say anything to gain fame."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the female teacher and walked straight over to her, saying, "Does this female teacher just spout nonsense? She talks rubbish without any evidence."

Liu Shuyi frowned and looked at her, saying:

"I'm just stating the facts. What kind of child that age would say something like that?"

There was also a six-year-old blonde girl who actually came to participate in our White Deer Academy's assessment.

Isn't this a waste of our time?

Zhou Wanwan looked up at her and said, "Excuse me, female teacher, has White Deer Academy ever stated that children under 6 years old cannot come?"

Liu Shuyi lowered her head and said:

"No, not really. But what can a six-year-old do?"

Do you think that White Deer Academy only requires literacy?

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Are all the female teachers in your esteemed institution so pedantic and rigid?"

Zhou Wanwan had already been very tactful, but Liu Shuyi's words were just too harsh, every sentence was full of doubt.

She's here to study, not to be investigated.

A female teacher standing nearby looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "This Liu Shuyi is just an apprentice at our White Deer Academy; she can't be considered a proper teacher."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's good, that's good. It's just a small apprenticeship. I thought it would be a proper female tutor!"

If all female tutors thought like that, I'd want to turn around and leave.

The female teacher next to him chuckled.

"Young man, you are very interesting, and I have high hopes for you."

I am the female headmistress of the White Deer Academy, and I hope you can join White Deer Academy.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and nodded, saying, "Okay, I will try my best."

White Deer Academy has three deans, one of whom is a woman.

The students below buzzed with discussion. "We never expected her to be the only female dean of the White Deer Academy! She's a legendary figure!"

"I heard she's proficient in all the arts—music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—and excels in every single one."

"Not only is he talented, but his knowledge and vision far surpass those of others. He is erudite and possesses profound insights into governing the country."

"No ordinary man can compare to her; at such a young age, her fame has spread Jiangnan."

"He earned his position as the dean of the White Deer Academy through sheer merit."

"Having such a female dean overseeing the academy is truly a blessing for all of us students!"

Zhou Wanwan was quite interested in the White Deer Academy.

Liu Shuyi said softly, "Dean, I think this Luo Xue is no ordinary person. If we recruit her into our academy, she will surely achieve great things."

The female dean looked at Liu Shuyi indifferently and said, "How much money did you receive from the Luo Family? Why do you keep speaking up for her?"

Liu Shuyi fell silent.

Seeing Zhou Wanwan steal the spotlight, Luo Xue felt extremely upset. She leaned close to Zhou Wanwan's ear and whispered:

"Do you think you can beat me? Before you embarrass yourself, get back home!"

This isn't a place for a child like you to act recklessly.

Zhou Wanwan replied loudly:

"Miss Luo, why should I go back?"

I'd like to give you some serious advice: go back now while you still can, so you don't embarrass yourself."

Luo Xue's eyes reddened.

Good heavens! She's actually a pure and innocent beauty.

Those students from Jiangnan said indignantly:

What does it mean to be shameful?

"Don't you even know your place? How dare you insult Miss Luo like this?"

"Miss Luo possesses a heart for all living beings, a magnanimity and vision far surpassing that of ordinary men, and her talent and character are rare in this world; she is a truly extraordinary woman, one in a hundred years!"

"Such integrity and bearing surpasses even the slightest of any prince or noblewoman!"

"Look at yourself, you have a narrow vision, a scheming mind, and all you know is how to spread rumors and gossip."

Compared to Miss Luo, I'm utterly insignificant, not even worthy to carry her shoes!

"They are truly ignorant and arrogant, unable to recognize a true gentleman, and instead constantly make things difficult for virtuous people. They are utterly despicable!"

Goodness gracious, she barely uttered a single sentence before these mindless fans of Luo Xue started attacking her.

Shen Wanjun whispered in Zhou Wanwan's ear, "Master, Luo Xue is very popular in Jiangnan. Many students in Jiangnan are her fans. Please don't go against her."
