The academy principals and pavilion masters remained sitting on their futons, having not left.
Some had their eyes slightly closed, seemingly in the midst of cultivation; others fixed their gaze intently on the Spiritual Pith list unfolding in midair, a trace of worry in their eyes; still others were chit-chatting away.

The reddish-faced old man at the beginning teased.

A dark-skinned man in simple clothes slowly walked up to Zhang Jing, his eyes full of amusement.
