The hour was still early, so Zhao Rong decided to first make his way to the Academy.
As he walked, he suddenly felt a bit lost.
Today, Zhao Rong had followed Teacher Yan and others, entering the Academy through the unfamiliar North Gate.
It was not the South Gate through which he had initially entered the Academy.
Linlu Academy was vast, Zhao Rong had heard from his senior brother, and was almost as large as the Taiching Four Mansions.
The Academy's architecture was strict in plan and simple in style, adhering to the philosophy of "harmony in rites and music" and the rigorous order of Confucian norms and rituals. Except for some special areas, to the newcomer, it all seemed monotonously the same.
Initially, Zhao Rong had only been in the Academy less than a day, then the next morning he had followed Fan Yushu and others to Taiching Four Mansions, hardly familiar with the Academy.
