Chapter 287: Eve of the Storm

"Excellent!" Mr. Xie couldn't help but praise. After all, he was his student, and even he admired this kind of ambition from the bottom of his heart.

But his praise didn't mean he agreed not to plead for Bai Zepei. He wore a gratified smile on his face and said, "I'm proud of your spirit. But we scholars, if we can't express our hearts' injustice and just watch others being wronged for the sake of our future, then it's better not to read at all, it's better not to enter officialdom!"

"Right, I'll take care of this matter. Otherwise, what's the point of being an official?" Li Shunsheng said, removing his black gauze cap.

Bai Zepei wasn't someone who wore his emotions on his face, whether it was great joy or great sorrow, he was used to hiding it in his heart. But at this moment, he could no longer hide it. Tears slid down from his eyes. To know Xie Dun and Li Shunsheng, his life had not been in vain.
