My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

When Lin Fengshuo uttered those words, almost everyone in the west wing courtyard was stunned once again.

Even Gu Zhiyan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at this moment.

Because it was obvious that Lin Fengshuo was asking Jiang Xiaobai whether it was to clear his name as a playboy or to fight for something bigger.

Or perhaps there is another purpose.

After all, the gates of this world encompass far too many things.

Power, fame, status...

If Jiang Xiaobai's answer does not satisfy Lin Fengshuo, then this apprenticeship... will come to an end!

For a moment, many students present fell into deep thought.

Yes, they are also thinking about how they should answer this question if it were asked to them.

If you pursue the gates of the world, then Lin Fengshuo's gate will be closed!

Because what Lin Fengshuo hated most was people who pursued fame and fortune.

However, if one only follows Lin Fengshuo's door, it will make one appear extremely hypocritical and lacking in ambition.

In this way, the significance of taking on a master or not will become minimal.

Even Xiao Qingxiu himself pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing!

As expected of a learned scholar, that's a truly tricky question.

However... the more tricky the better, so that Jiang Xiaobai won't be able to easily overtake him.

As for Li Zhiwei, she didn't think much of it. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaobai, showing both nervousness and curiosity.

I'm curious how Jiang Xiaobai should respond.

As everyone's expressions varied, Jiang Xiaobai laughed again: "Then the question is, Elder Lin, can your door represent the gates of the world?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengshuo couldn't help but retort, "So what if I can't represent them, and so what if I can?"

"Hehe, if it can't represent everyone, then I'll enter Elder Lin's door, and I'll also look into all the doors in the world!"

Jiang Xiaobai paused, then continued, "If it can represent me, then this junior... would be even more eager to go in and take a look!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai paused, looking directly at Lin Fengshuo, and said, "Look at your gate, Elder Lin, is it forged from bronze walls, or... do you think you can block out the world with just your mouth?!"

Ok?

As Jiang Xiaobai echoed his last words, almost everyone in the courtyard raised their heads at the same time.

Gu Zhiyan almost plucked out several strands of his beard.

Jiang Xiaobai's words were clearly a reversal of his questioning of Lin Fengshuo himself!

I have to say, Jiang Xiaobai is really bold!

If someone wants to become a disciple, they will mostly walk with their head down!

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, stood outside the door, ready to tear down the door and the wall together!

This is just unbelievable!

However, it cannot be denied that Jiang Xiaobai's answer was indeed good, and the two complemented each other.

If you accept their offer, fine, but if you turn them away, then you're just using your mouth to block those with aspirations!

Li Zhiwei stared blankly at Jiang Xiaobai, because she really didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to answer like that.

And they even had the audacity to answer like that!

Xiao Qingxiu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Jiang Xiaobai, trying to discern something.

After hearing these words, Lin Fengshuo remained silent for a long time, simply leaning on his long cane and quietly watching Jiang Xiaobai.

That aged and usually serious face showed no emotion at this moment.

But it was precisely because of this that the atmosphere in the entire West Wing became increasingly oppressive.

No one knew whether Lin Fengshuo admired him, was angry, or was reassessing this audacious young man.

a long time.

After a long while, a ripple finally appeared in Lin Fengshuo's deep, ancient eyes.

"it is good."

Lin Fengshuo's answer was still just one word.

But this time, after the word "good" was uttered, many people showed a strange expression.

Because everyone could tell that this single word, "good," wasn't a compliment to anything else, but rather a compliment to the person!

At this moment, Lin Fengshuo spoke again, looking at Jiang Xiaobai and continuing, "However, my door is just an old door. It cannot block the people of the world, nor can it bear the weight of the world's gate."

"You don't need to overestimate it, but of course... don't underestimate yourself either!"

With that, Lin Fengshuo smiled and said, "In short, once you step through this door, don't regret it!"

"Haha, teacher is joking!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "As the saying goes, an old gate retains its old appearance; it neither blocks the way of those who come nor refuses those who leave."

"And most importantly, the old sect is down-to-earth, so... this disciple likes it very much!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai solemnly knelt down in the direction of Lin Fengshuo.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai like this, Lin Fengshuo smiled for the first time, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with admiration.

He had also heard of Jiang Xiaobai's reputation.

He was a spoiled brat, dissolute, and ignorant, but his behavior today made him realize the true value of Jiang Xiaobai.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Xiaobai had been hiding his talents before, he also didn't know why he was showing off now.

But just based on his courage, he accepted the student!

At this moment, Zhang Xinnian, who had been following Jiang Xiaobai, was first shocked, and then looked in Jiang Xiaobai's direction with admiration.

Their heir has really changed.

He actually managed to persuade this venerable scholar, who had closed his doors to disciples, to accept him again, all through his own efforts.

Who else could possess such an ability?

His son is capable!

For a moment, he was filled with pride.

Just as he was filled with excitement, Lin Fengshuo raised his hand and helped Jiang Xiaobai up, saying, "There are some rules to follow when you join my sect!"

"Let Wei'er tell you the details!"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at Li Zhiwei, saying, "Then... I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Wei'er!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei responded softly.

"Haha, congratulations, Professor Lin, on gaining another talented disciple!"

Gu Zhiyan looked at Lin Fengshuo and spoke, her expression filled with envy.

After this process of analysis, he could be said to have grown to appreciate Jiang Xiaobai even more.

If Jiang Xiaobai hadn't come specifically for Lin Fengshuo, he would definitely have snatched this student away!

With courage, knowledge, and such remarkable writing skills, if nurtured, his future achievements will definitely be remarkable!

As Gu Zhiyan finished speaking, the other three elders also offered their congratulations.

Only Xiao Qingxiu's expression remained slightly somber. He finally looked at Lin Fengshuo and said, "Elder Lin, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

After saying that, Xiao Qingxiu glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and then left.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned as he watched Xiao Qingxiu's retreating figure. Just then, the guard who had been following him approached and said, "Your Highness, we must be careful with this young prince!"

Putting everything else aside, his young master certainly made this little prince look bad this time.

If this young prince finds any opportunity, he will surely seek revenge.

Therefore, we have to be careful.

"Yes, I know!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded.

In the following period, under Lin Fengshuo's guidance, they discussed Jiang Xiaobai's four poems again.

Jiang Xiaobai felt somewhat embarrassed, and finally glanced at Li Zhiwei before moving closer.

Li Zhiwei noticed Jiang Xiaobai, but turned her head away and didn't go to him.

"Senior Sister!"

After Jiang Xiaobai approached Li Zhiwei, he smiled and said, "How about we talk somewhere else?"

"I...I'm not going!"

Li Zhiwei shook her head, her delicate hands gripping her dress tightly, clearly showing her slight nervousness.

"The teacher asked you to help me explain the rules!"

Jiang Xiaobai said seriously, "It's not about anything else!"

"Of course, even if we were to talk about it, it would only be... discussing our marriage!"
