"Please come in quickly," came an old voice.
Ye Ming's heart was pounding, and his face turned red with nervousness.
The man opened the door for the four people, but did not go inside with them.
Ye Panjiu walked into the house and immediately saw a man.
He was slender and tall, with a long face. He wore a moon-white robe with gold python and fox fur sleeves, and a dark blue tasseled jacket over it. He exuded nobility from head to toe, and looked to be around thirty years old. His face was strikingly handsome.
Even though Ye Panjiu had seen many male celebrities and models in her previous life, none of them could compare to this man's looks.
The proportions of her facial features are very well arranged; her starry eyes are slightly droopy, and her eyes seem half-open.
When he looked directly at me, I felt that this person was not to be profaned.
Ye Panjiu felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.
The man smiled faintly and slowly turned his head away.
"Greetings, Headmaster. I am Ye Ming, and I wish to enroll at Bailu Academy." Ye Ming bowed respectfully.

Ye Panjiu and the other two looked at Ye Ming nervously, afraid that he wouldn't be able to answer.
Ye Ming frowned. "This means that during the sacrificial ceremony, one needs to kneel on the ground, kowtow, and then perform the ritual a second time. The whole process should be one of fear and reverence."
The head of the academy nodded with great satisfaction, "This young man is teachable!"
This kid attended school for two years when he was young, and after more than ten years, he had no chance to go to school again, yet he could still remember what he was taught before he dropped out.
This son has an exceptionally good memory, which shows how much he values his studies – a truly rare quality.
These two points alone already put them ahead of many others.
Learning ability can be cultivated over time, but attitude determines how far you can go.
The man fanned himself with his fan. "If that's the case, why hesitate?"
Ye Panjiu's heart jumped. That voice!
