Master Qian could understand him to some extent, after all, the incident at the Imperial Examination Hall had caused such a stir recently. But he felt more regret that such a promising talent could have followed the academy's arrangements and embarked on a more brilliant career.
He tried to persuade her, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The college will definitely protect its students, especially an outstanding student like you."
This was practically telling Xu Mo that he no longer needed to fear the magistrate of Xiyang County.
"Will the academy also protect my younger siblings?" Xu Mo looked up.
Master Qian fell silent for a moment.
Xu Mo understood; this was only protecting himself, not his younger siblings.

The top scholar in a county was so sought after that all the schools in the county were vying for him.
What about the chief officials of the prefecture and the chief officials of the academy?
Xu Mo let out a long breath, and the book in his hand suddenly became scorching hot, carrying with it his body, his soul, and his thoughts, soaring and dancing in the heavens.
