Gu Qiheng sounded as if he was praising Li Qiye to the students, but this was certainly not the case.

　　There were only one hundred students inside versus the tens of thousands outside; how could one describe this scene as the students eager to learn? It was a blatant mockery.

　　“Right, we can’t wait to hear the lecture and learn.” Another student sarcastically shouted.

　　“Hahaha!” Blaring laughter erupted.

　　It wasn’t that the students here hated Li Qiye but rather Gu Qiheng was too popular and well-liked among the student body.

　　If they had to pick one between the two, the majority wouldn’t hesitate at all before picking Qiheng since they didn’t know Li Qiye at all.

　　“Brother Qiheng, don’t worry, even the elders are willing to wait for Young n.o.ble Li’s lecture.” A woman rapidly floated through the sky just like a G.o.ddess. No one would be able to stay calm before her.

　　“Teacher Qianxuan is here too.” She naturally attracted the attention of the students so one of them shouted.

　　Qianxuan said after arriving: “Great, not late for the young n.o.ble’s lecture.” She then took her seat.

　　Everyone was stunned to see this since Qianxuan was definitely on the same level as Qiheng among the young teachers. She didn’t come to support Qiheng but came early for Li Qiye’s?

　　Qiheng’s expression naturally s.h.i.+fted a bit but he quickly smiled and kept his cool style.

　　At this moment, two more people were entering the valley. They seemed a bit unfamiliar with the layout.

　　One was a burly man with a divine saber while the beautiful woman was more delicate and slender with a longsword on her back.

　　They hid their auras and power so no one could read their cultivation at all.

　　“It’s been a while, this is the right place?” The middle-aged man looked at the courtyard and asked.

　　“Husband, where are you looking at? That’s the dao wall over there and the dao flowers. Where else has these flowers at the academy but the dao courtyard?” The beautiful woman smiled and said.

　　“True, then we’re at the right place.” The middle-aged man scratched his head.

　　The appearance of this couple surprised the students. They wondered where these two popped up from since they didn’t seem to be teachers at the academy.

　　“They look so familiar, I’m sure I’ve seen them before.” A student found this quite strange.

　　“You’re right, I see that too but can’t seem to recall.” Another student agreed.

　　“Let’s go, stop messing around. It’s so rare that Teacher would actually do a lecture.” The woman told the man.

　　“Right, right, it’s good that we’re not late or I would have to slap myself.” The middle-aged man smile back.

　　The two of them walked hand-in-hand to the courtyard. The students inside naturally stared at them.

　　“Seniors, please excuse my late reception.” Qianxuan quickly stood up and went to greet them.

　　“Oh, you’re so big now. No need to be so polite, we’re closer than that.” The woman smilingly said.

　　The man joked: “This little girl is about to be stronger than us. Seems like the future waves will keep growing stronger and better.”

　　“Uncle Yang, you always tease me like this. Your sword and saber combination is unbeatable in the present.” Qianxuan smiled freely like a little girl.

　　“I, I know who they are now!” An Emperor Mansion student suddenly blurted out but he realized that this was too disrespectful.

　　He quickly lowered his voice: “That’s the guardians of our academy, Harmony Immortal Monarchs.”

　　“Yes, that’s them, I’ve seen their portraits before in Literature.” A different student quietly agreed.

　　Everyone finally realized why this couple looked so familiar since they have seen their gigantic statues at the entrance of Literature.

　　Of course, they also became slack-jawed - even two Immortal Monarchs were coming to listen to this lecture? How astonis.h.i.+ng.

　　These two monarchs have slain a Grand Emperor with eight wills before with their sword and saber. They were well-respected as older monarchs but who would have thought that they would come here in person.
