In the Professor Bureau, all the instructors and proctors were gathered around Yin Xichen. Meanwhile, in Yueli Hall, a crowd of this year's new students surrounded Chen De'an and Zhao Jing.
Having been at the academy for only two days, De'an, with his open and cheerful disposition, had already hit it off with everyone.
And while Zhao Jing was a bit colder in temperament, in an academy that revered academic merit, his fame for his scholastic achievements worked like a charm, prompting many students to proactively befriend him.
When the two of them entered Yueli Hall, the other students swarmed them.
"So? How did it go?"
"Were the questions difficult? De'an looks like he's been through the wringer."
"Mr. Yin has plenty of ways to discipline students. He's put quite a few of the more rebellious ones in their place. But you two are the first to get on his bad side right after enrolling."
