The State Preceptor was practicing Internal Cultivation Methods that day, and inadvertently suffered a backlash, injuring his lungs. There was blood, but coughing it out would help, yet it was unfortunately seen by two students, and the matter slowly spread!
Moreover, he likes peace and not noise; the rumors intensified, saying that his body was not well and was not easy to move...
What is all this??!!
Utterly baffling.
Pei Wanmu was unaware, but the rumors within the Court grew even more intense. Some officials speculated that his reason for recruiting disciples at the Imperial College was because he was not long for this world, and he was selecting his successor...
The man in bamboo-green robes chuckled: "Rumors stop with the wise, my health is fine."
"State Preceptor, if you recruit female disciples, I will come under your tutelage, but you only recruit males, so what am I supposed to do, sigh!"
She couldn't possibly become male.
