Chu Ming had only been here two days and attended a single class, yet he was already targeted by Instructor Shen Yu.
Feng Yuan knew better than anyone what Shen Yu was plotting.
He spurned cumbersome formalities and advocated for simplicity over complexity, claiming he wished to break down the barriers of scholarship.
But let us put aside for now what meaning that really has—what does simplifying texts have to do with breaking scholarly barriers?
Moreover, knowledge was never meant for just anyone to touch; the notion of a 'barrier' was utter nonsense to begin with.
For this stance, Shen Yu had surely offended more than a few powerful figures.
Otherwise, with his encyclopedic erudition, how could he have reached this age only as a lowly Junior Eighth-Grade official of Baiyuan County?
In Feng Yuan's view, if Chu Ming did end up entangled with Shen Yu, it would be tantamount to sabotaging his own future.
