Chapter 655
On Thousand Scrolls Mountain, everywhere was bleached white; white banners fluttered along the paths from the bottom to the top of the mountain.
Li Xingzai ascended step by step, slowly. It was a good season for climbing and sea gazing; the view was impressive.
On both sides of the mountain path, aside from the white banners flapping in the wind, neatly-kneeling were academy disciples.
In the past, Li Xingzai wouldn't be entitled to this kind of treatment. It would have been a great honor if the Master of the Academy came down to welcome him in person. But now, the times are different. The Master has died, while the Academy is on the decline with no one to carry on.
Today, the prestige of the Academy is trampled under Li Xingzai's feet. Perhaps, it might never stand back up again.
