But without exception, they all stopped respectfully upon seeing Fa Zi, standing with their hands by their sides.
Under countless gazes of respect and awe, Fa Zi, dressed in a Profound Robe and a High Crown, strode forward with slow, deliberate steps.
Although Tang Xiuming was counted among the top prodigies of Qin City, he had only ever admired this figure from afar during a few extremely important gatherings.
Now, facing one of the top twenty personages in the world up close, his legs went weak and his spine tingled, accompanied by a wave of palpitations.
He swallowed hard and bowed his head with utmost respect.
"Gr... Greetings, Fa Zi!"
Beside them, Tang Xiaoxiao and Tang Shitou were first bewildered, then their eyes widened and their scalps went numb.
Even twelve-year-old Little Stone understood what a Master of the Academy signified. Everything he had been taught since childhood told him that a Master of the Academy... was the heavens!
The true heavens!!
