บท 87: Destroying the Academy (II)

When they reached the academy gate, it was finally clear what the noises were. Some people were yelling something, some were shouting something, and others were knocking on the gate. Fortunately, those yells and shouts were not too excessive. At least, the words seemed courteous enough. The palms falling upon the gate were also not improper. It didn't feel like people were pounding on the gates to make trouble. However, there were simply far too many people outside the gate, so all those noises together were still rather frightening.

Tang Thirty-Six shook his head to stop Xuanyuan Po from opening the gate. Taking a wooden ladder he had found somewhere, he placed it on the wall next to the gate and indicated that Xuanyuan Po should go up and see. Xuanyuan Po very obediently climbed and glanced beyond the wall. He only saw an uncountable mass of people and was given quite a scare.
