Chapter 547: 219 has returned to her rightful place_4
Mrs. Xu wasn’t surprised at all; as a native of Xiangcheng, Bai Lian’s excitement about getting into Jiangjing University was expected.
It was almost eight o’clock.
Jiangjing University was busy with people, and at this time, many students taking the national exam were checking in at the entrance. Xu Wenyao was waiting by the campus gates and waved at Bai Lian and her companions from afar as soon as he spotted them.
“Alian, little sister,” Xu Wenyao felt a sense of unrealness upon seeing Bai Lian; he had just learned that Bai Lian was the national top scorer of the year, “Let me first take you to the Statues of the Notables.”
Being an insider, he could bring family members in as long as they registered.
Walking down the main thoroughfare, they saw the statues in Jiangjing University’s square lined up in two rows, dozens in total.
From a hundred meters away, Bai Lian could see the bronze statue at the very front.
As twilight blurred the edges of the day, one could see that the bronze figure was well maintained; one hand held a book while the other was placed behind his back. He appeared to be reading intently, his garment caught in a fold by the breeze.
With the aura of an ascetic sage, it seemed as if he might turn into an immortal at any second.
This was Liang Zewen.
Seeing these statues, even Mrs. Xu put her palms together solemnly, her gaze devout and admiring.
As the end of term drew near, many students came here to carefully pay homage to these statues and to the giant rock behind them.
“These are statues of notable figures, you must know them,” said Xu Wenyao, after his own observance, highlighting one statue in particular to Bai Lian, “This is our senior sister.”
Mrs. Xu, looking at the first statue, had an unstoppable fervor and envy in her eyes, “The Liangs… how proud they must be to see this statue.”
Next to her, Ji Mulan was also staring in stunned silence at everything.
The area was teeming with the most elite students from across the country. This place was sacred, and everyone passing by would pay homage involuntarily, reminiscent of the era when the senior sister and her peers were in their prime and the era when the emperor’s advisor strategized behind the scenes.
Her gaze shifted, landing on the giant stone behind the statues, which was illuminated by light.
