Su Jinpa was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide.
"do not move."
Li Chen said something, and Su Jinpa did not move.
Li Chen raised his hand to tuck the ends of Su Jinpa's hair that was blown by the sea breeze behind his ears. Seeing Su Jinpa's stiff body, Li Chen chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Su Jinpa didn't expect Li Chen's unexpected tenderness to come so suddenly. Her cheeks were a little hot, she turned her head and said harshly: "Who knows what you are going to do."
"Let's go, you can see the sea view at any time. This is the sea view academy. If you come here once, you don't know when the next time will be."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he took Su Jinpa towards a courtyard not far away.
The courtyard occupies a large area and is surrounded by walls. On the main entrance are the four powerful characters "Guanhai Academy".
As soon as the entourage was left behind, Li Chen came to the main entrance of Guanhai Academy with only Su Jinpa and Sanbao following behind.
Things like knocking on the door are naturally done by Sanbao.
After knocking on the knocker, the wooden door opened with a creak, and the face of a twelve or thirteen-year-old book boy emerged from behind. He looked at Li Chen and his group curiously and asked, "Are you here to see the teacher?"
Sanbao was about to answer, but the book boy immediately said: "If so, please come back. The teacher said years ago that there will be no visitors before March. I have sent away many people in the past few days."
A mere book boy is not enough to make Li Chen speak.
Sanbao grinned, smiled softly, and said to the book boy: "Go and tell your teacher that my young master has come all the way from the capital and has been working hard all the way. Your teacher must meet him."
The book boy frowned, showing dissatisfaction.
Mr. Jingzhi is a great sage who is famous all over the world. No matter who comes, no matter what his status is, there are also high-ranking officials in the court. Even the vassal prince comes in person. He dare not speak like this, but the person in front of him must meet him when he opens his mouth.
Teacher, you are really rude.
Seeing that the boy's expression meant that he would definitely refuse when he opened his mouth, Su Jinpa said first, "Please tell your teacher that the daughter of the Su family is coming to visit, and that the author of "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is coming that day."
The boy didn't know what the daughter of the Su family represented, but when he heard the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion", his eyes lit up and he said: "Teacher has been in love with this gift since he first got it. He has said several times that it would be a lifelong regret not to see such a talented person.
Everyone, please wait a moment, I will report it immediately."
After the little book boy hurriedly ran to report, Li Chen said to Su Jinpa: "Thankfully I brought you here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get in through this door."
Su Jinpa covered his mouth and smiled: "I just told you that you would be rejected."
"It doesn't matter, if he doesn't invite me in, I'll just break in."
Li Chen said calmly: "A great sage is so well-known that you wouldn't care about a tyrannical junior like me?"
"You!"
Su Jinpa knew that Li Chen could definitely do what he said, so he stamped his feet and said: "When you meet Mr. Jingzhi, you should restrain yourself a little. He is not one of your ministers in the court and will bow to you."
"If you are not a minister of the imperial court, are you not a citizen of the Qin Dynasty? As long as you are a commoner, you are my people."
Li Chen said: "Since he is one of my people, and he doesn't bow to me, do you still expect me to flatter him?"
"The Great Qin Empire cannot tolerate such people."
Su Jinpa choked up at Li Chen's words, but before she could continue to persuade him, the bookboy had already left and returned.
"Come in quickly, the teacher invites some distinguished guests to come in."
