As a core figure of the Imperial Capital's College, Priest Liu Gong naturally wouldn't settle for a haphazard wooden hut in some remote corner of the college grounds like some old pedant.
Liu Gong's Jijiu Mansion was located right at the center of the Imperial Academy, to the right of the Lake Pavilion, and was constructed with the finest glazed tiles and white jade marble.

Zhou Li squatted down and stared at the eyeless stone lions for a moment. Then he reached out and slapped one of the lions across its face.
