Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

"I'm so envious!"

"But why isn't it a deerskin pouch from the Imperial Observatory?"

The astronomical scholars of the Imperial Observatory have made significant progress in their research on spatial objects.

Of course, I'm a beginner, so I've only managed to come up with items like small deerskin bags, which have less than ten cubic meters of space.

Even so, it still makes outsiders envious.

Currently, only the sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory possess deerskin pouches.

However, I've heard that the Imperial Observatory is currently researching new spatial objects, and that their research on space is progressing rapidly.

Perhaps soon, we will be able to mass-produce items that utilize space.

At that time, he might also have a chance to get one.

Li Xuan casually replied, "More or less!"

"gone!"

After saying that, he headed towards the academy.

Xu Xinnian immediately followed.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Li Xuan and Xu Xinnian arrived at Yunlu Academy.

Xu Xinnian said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, wait here for me, I'll go in and report to you right away."

After saying that, he rushed inside.

Yunlu Academy.

The two Confucian scholars of the academy, Li Mubai and Zhang Shen, sat in the elegant pavilion, sipping tea and exchanging ideas.

Li Mubai sighed and said, "Alas, Li Xuan is truly a hot commodity."

“Yes,” Zhang Shen sighed, “both princesses are vying for the position of night watchman at the Imperial Observatory.”

"What's most frustrating is that others are more accommodating and have allowed Li Xuan to join or even come into contact with them; but we at Yunlu Academy can only watch helplessly."

Li Mubai said, "Who told Li Xuan not to like the academy? He just happens to like night watchmen and martial artists."

"And Xu Xinnian, that kid is really inflexible; he's his own sister's husband, yet he can't even invite his own brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shen said with exasperation, "Xu Xinnian is indeed a disobedient son, so I punished him by sending him out alone to buy books."

·····Requesting flowers·········

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai immediately said with satisfaction, "Well done, then we should punish this kid properly."

at this time.

"Master!"

A voice rang out, and it was Xu Xinnian who strode in.

Upon seeing Xu Xinnian, Zhang Shen and Li Mubai's expressions immediately turned cold.

Li Mubai said coldly, "Xu Xinnian, didn't I ask you to purchase books? Where are the books?"

Zhang Shen also said, "Is this how you complete the task assigned by the academy?"

Xu Xinnian took a breath and said, "I brought back the books, and also..."

He was interrupted halfway through his sentence when someone asked, "Where are those books?"

"You've even learned to lie?" Li Mubai glared at Xu Xinnian.

Xu Xinnian explained, "The books are with my brother-in-law."

"Your brother-in-law? Li Xuan?" The two were taken aback.

Xu Xinnian said, "Yes, my brother-in-law is outside."

As soon as these words fell.

Dang Dang!

Li Mubai and Zhang Shen stood up instantly.

Li Mubai asked impatiently, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Zhang Shen also said with dissatisfaction, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get out."

The two quickly stepped past Xu Xinnian and went out to greet him.

Xu Xinnian was left looking dejected.

You two, that's not what you just said, is it?

He pursed his lips and muttered something.

Then he quickly followed him out.

After a while.

The two arrived at the door and saw Li Xuan waiting there.

Li Mubai's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Li Xuan!"

Zhang Shen stepped forward, smiling kindly, and said, "Li Xuan, I have long admired your name."

Both of them had seen Li Xuan in the portrait, so they recognized him immediately.

.........

Li Xuan stepped forward and nodded slightly, saying, "Greetings, both of you."

"You're welcome," Li Mubai quickly waved his hand.

Zhang Shen said, "Let's go into the academy and chat over there in the elegant pavilion."

The three of them immediately went inside the academy.

Xu Xinnian, who had just come out, was completely ignored by the three of them.

Xu Xinnian stood there, looking utterly dejected.

So he's invisible, and nobody cares about him at all.

After a while.

A place of elegance.

Li Xuan, Li Mubai, and Zhang Shen sat down.

Li Mubai quickly asked, "Li Xuan, would you be willing to... come to the academy?"

He originally wanted to ask if he would be willing to be his apprentice.

He thought of how Li Xuan was already a member of the Imperial Observatory, and how even the chief Observatory officials were vying to take him as a disciple.

He, a mere fifth-rank scholar, is truly unworthy to be Li Xuan's teacher.

So they changed their invitation to Li Xuan to come to the academy.

Zhang Shen also said, "Yes, Li Xuan, only by coming to the academy can your talents be fully displayed, and you will surely shine brightly."

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and apologized, "I've already joined the night watchman's job, and I need to perform tasks every day, so it's not suitable for me to join the academy."

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai sighed and said, "With all your talent, why did you decide to become a night watchman, risking your life in dangerous and tiring work?"

Zhang Shen also said, "That's right, isn't it great to come to the academy? All you need to do is study and research, and it's very safe."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "That's just how I am; there's no need to persuade me further."

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai and Zhang Shen fell silent, revealing their regret.

At this moment, Li Xuan said, "But even if I become a night watchman, it won't affect my writing; and I've also had some successes recently."

Upon hearing this, the two instantly went from looking regretful to looking expectant and excited.

"Really?"

Li Mubai hurriedly asked, "Have you composed any more poems?"

"Tell us quickly, let us taste it!" Zhang Shen said.

Li Xuan didn't mince words and spoke slowly.

"First poem: All the birds have flown away, and a lone cloud drifts leisurely by; we gaze at each other without weariness, only Mount Taiting remains."

The original text only mentions Mount Jingting; however, the Great Feng Dynasty did not have this mountain. There was a Mount Taiting in the capital, so Li Xuan changed it.

As the first song ended, Li Mubai and his companion's eyes lit up, and they both showed excitement.

"Good good!"

"Good good!"

"It's another timeless masterpiece, especially the line 'We gaze at each other without ever growing tired,' which is just five short characters but absolutely brilliant."

Li Mubai said excitedly.

Zhang Shen also said happily, "I originally thought that your literary talent might be affected by becoming a night watchman, but I didn't expect it to be completely unaffected."
