Sang Zhi lowered his eyes, as if wanting to join in.

"Wait for me here." Ye Qianning said, and raised his chin towards the back: "You still need to deal with those people."

Sang Zhi followed her gaze and saw an old man in his fifties, followed by five or six old men in teacher's robes, hurriedly walking towards them.

Impatience and anger flashed across his brow.

"Don't cause any trouble. I'll be back in a minute."

The anger that had just gathered in Sang Zhi's eyes dissipated when he heard this: "Okay."

The word "OK" startled Takasaki, who was two steps away, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

There was an incredible look in his eyes when he looked at Sang Zhi.

Is the person in front of me who looks harmless and obedient really the Eighth Prince?

Ye Qianning ignored Gao Qi and walked away from where he was.

A figure walked past Takaki, and he just came back to his senses. He subconsciously wanted to chase after it, but a hand blocked his way.

Sang Zhi's eyes were full of warning.

Gao Qi watched Ye Qianning's back shrink, and then the folding fan in his hand began to shake again. His eyes fell on Sang Zhi's face. Seeing that he was very calm, he couldn't help but say: "I think you are quite normal."

Sang Zhi glanced at him coldly: "This prince thinks you are abnormal."

“…”

"The Eighth Prince."

He Yuting, the current dean of Loushan, led the teacher to the front. Although he knew that the other party was a prince, he did not lead the teacher to salute, but only bowed symbolically.

Gao Qi glanced at him indifferently. Since Dean Chen left, Loushan had a new dean.

It is said that the person in front of me is a great scholar who has been a hermit for many years and has not entered the world. It was only after the royal family sincerely invited him that he was willing to come out of seclusion and take over the Loushan Academy.

"When did Loushan become more and more unruly?" Sang Zhi scolded coldly.

He Yuting chuckled, "As long as you go to Loushan, there is no distinction between status. I heard that the Eighth Prince also studied in Loushan when he was young. Doesn't he know the Loushan Disciple Rules?"

Gao Qi's handsome face twisted for a moment when he heard the words "Disciple Rules". He subconsciously looked at Sang Zhi. Tsk, this old man He Yuting is really used to a comfortable life...

Others might not understand the "Disciples' Rules", but it's different for the Eighth Prince. His hands must have been so tired from copying the "Disciples' Rules" that they were almost smoking.

Gao Qi also copied a lot of Disciple Rules for Ye Qianning, but he couldn't get over the Disciple Rules in his heart, let alone the Eighth Prince, the main substitute?

Seeing that the atmosphere around the Eighth Prince was getting colder, Gao Qi half covered his face with his folding fan and took a step back. The old man was in trouble.

"Regardless of status, it's all about respecting teachers. That's true." Sang Zhi was fierce for a moment, then suppressed it in the next second.

Takaki's mouth twitched. Not angry?

It shouldn't be!

If it were in the past... could it be because of Ye Qianning's instructions?

Gao Qi had a strange look in his eyes and his brows were furrowed. Thinking of the peaceful and harmonious conversation Ye Qianning had just had with him, he felt inexplicably angry.

Ye Qianning has treated Sang Zhi differently since childhood!

He Yuting seemed very satisfied, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stepped aside to make an invitation: "It's rare for the Eighth Prince to come to Mount Lou. The weather is hot, why don't you come with me for a cup of tea?"

"No need, I'm just strolling around today and don't want to be disturbed."

"Okay, Eighth Prince, please do as you please. I won't bother you any more." After He Yuting finished speaking, he turned around and left with the teachers.

Sang Zhi tucked his hands into his sleeves and turned to walk towards the pavilion behind the academy.

Gao Qi looked around, paused, and followed Sang Zhi: "You really are different now."

If it was as the rumors said, those old guys would be thrown to the ground with their arms and legs broken.
