Bab 461: He Stands Amidst the Flowers

The Li Palace priest surnamed Lu said rather helplessly, "They're all just here to watch, and it's not like we can drive them too far away."

The awning on the street did not contain any important figures besides the stewards of the Four Great Markets, but the common folk of the capital that had arrived to see the spectacle were already numerous.

It was clearly only six in the morning, and it was even raining! Tang Thirty-Six felt extremely helpless, and also very furious. He thought to himself, isn't it just fighting? Just what's so good about watching that? Is it worth it to get out of bed so early?

The crowd gradually parted and then slowly became quiet. A middle-aged man wearing a black teaching gown expressionlessly strode onto the scene.

Tang Thirty-Six tore open the letter and gave it a few glances. He confirmed that today's challenger was actually a lecturer from the Li Palace Academy.
