"I hope so..."
Just as Mr. Yue Ming was agonizing over how to pacify the academy students and get them to focus on preparing for the Annual Examination, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Ma Guan's figure appeared shortly after. He panted, "De-Dean, Mr. Zhuo Ying, the Holy Emperor's decree has arrived in Shu State."
"Quick, tell us."
"Eunuch Feng, the Chief Eunuch who arrived a few days ago, went to the Governor's Office first." Ma Guan caught his breath, calmed down, and said, "Lord Yang is temporarily acting as the Governor."
Mr. Yue Ming and Mr. Zhuo Ying exchanged a glance, visible relief washing over their faces.
"Dean, with Elder Yang overseeing the Governor's Office, the Annual Examination should proceed much more smoothly."
Mr. Yue Ming nodded slightly. "If Ma Shuhan dares to act arbitrarily, I will naturally go and reason with him."
