“Looking for Master Shouzhe? Slow down, even if you find Liu Ruolan, it will be pointless,” the old Clan School teacher, who was well over a hundred years old, said resoundingly, “The Clan School is a place for teaching and nurturing children. Here, regardless of whether one is a commoner, a direct descendant of the Wang family, or even a wolf, a bear, a tree, everyone is treated equally.”
“Our motto is to firmly prevent any underachiever from graduating from the Clan School.”
“I don’t care who you are, what your status is, or what your relationship is with Wang Dalang, Wang Erlang, Wang Sanniu, Wang Silang, Wang Wuniu. Since they are under my tutelage, it is my responsibility and duty to educate them and teach them to discern right from wrong.”
Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes. What kind of names were these? Alright, he had to admit that the five little wolves did look very much alike, and naming them in such a way made it easier to distinguish them.
“Hmph, just a mere Clan School teacher, and yet you dare to show off in front of me. I don’t care about the rest, the ones called Wang Dalang and the others, I will take care of them.” Emperor Longchang waved over to the five teenage wolves, showing a kind expression, “Come here, come to me. I refuse to believe that Wang Shouzhe that bastard can do anything about it.”
Wang Dalang and the others, who recognized the kindhearted old emperor who had taken care of them for a while, eagerly howled, wanting to rush over and show their affection. But they sneaked a glance at the stern-faced Clan School teacher.
Immediately, they all shook their heads in unison, drooping their heads, indicating that they were being punished and dared not misbehave. Their little eyes were as innocent as could be.
This, of course, made Emperor Longchang’s heart ache all over again, and just as he was about to lose his temper, his robe was tugged at by the branch of a small sapling, and a milky-voiced girl said, “Old Master Yiya-ye, don’t make Yiya Sir angry, he’s doing it for our Yiya.”
A tree? And a sapling at that?
Emperor Longchang looked the little sapling up and down, his expression growing serious, “Little sapling, what kind of Spirit Plant are you, and how old are you to be able to talk? Could it be that Wang Shouzhe, that Great Demon King, has forcefully used a Transformation Pill or an Enlightenment Pill on you?”
“It’s not Yiya, daddy has Yiya Yiya L-girl’s,” the little sapling said, “It’s just that L-girl’s studies are not good Yiya Yiya Yiya, always arguing with daddy, and the homework is so hard.”
Emperor Longchang broke into a cold sweat as he listened. Little girl, could you speak with fewer Yiya’s please?
However, he generally understood that this little sapling was likely Wang Shouzhe’s daughter, presumably his Life-bound Spirit Plant. But was that bastard Wang Shouzhe so twisted that he even made his Life-bound Spirit Plant attend the Clan School?
Such a good and gentle daughter, and he had the heart to do it?
“What’s your name, huh? Let me see your homework~” Emperor Longchang gently stroked her branch, his tone tender and caring. Yet inwardly, he mused that Wang Shouzhe’s Life-bound Spirit Plant was not very intelligent, having grown to Level Seven and able to speak, why was her intelligence similar to that of a three or four-year-old child?
Had some mishap occurred?
“L-girl is called, Wang Yiya Lixian.” Wang Lixian miraculously produced a few exam papers, “Arithmetic Yiya, so hard, can’t understand…”
Arithmetic is indeed a headache!
Emperor Longchang took the exam papers and broke into laughter, “You little girl, these are all basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Come on, let grandpa teach you.” Even if the emperor was a poor student, he could manage basic arithmetic.
Then, he eagerly began to explain to Wang Lixian, basking in the joy of being a teacher.
Emperor Longchang ranted with flying spittle, and Wang Lixian’s struggling branches twisted together: “So difficult, so difficult, arithmetic is too yiyiyamafan, not as interesting as fighting. Don’t need to count, just more, only more is fine.”
“No problem, no problem, you’re still young, you can learn slowly.” Emperor Longchang consoled Lixian with a smile, whilst secretly ridiculing inside, Wang Family School, that’s all there is to it, huh? His confidence instantly inflated.
Then he approached the five little wolves with furrowed brows and distressed faces, and said with full confidence, “Show me your graduation exam papers, whatever you don’t understand, let me give you some guidance, and I assure you, you will graduate very soon.”
“Wuu wuu wuu~” The five little wolves got excited at once, feeling like a savior had fallen from the sky. They ran to their desks at top speed, fetched their papers in their mouths, and raced back, handing them to Emperor Longchang.
Then, panting with their tongues hanging out, they looked eagerly at Emperor Longchang to rescue them from dire straits.
“Come come come, let me…” Emperor Longchang flipped through the exam papers and his smile gradually solidified, then turned stiff. The papers were filled with text and symbols he either recognized or didn’t, and there weren’t many he knew in the first place.
When mixed together, it seemed like some celestial script, muddling his brain into a gooey mess.
Wang Dalang’s paper, scored out of a hundred, had only forty-nine. The rest of the little wolves had varying scores, but none had passed.
However, after Emperor Longchang quickly perused the questions, he realized he would mostly score a single-digit number…
What did this mean?
It meant he, Emperor Longchang himself, was inferior to Wang Dalang, Wang Wuniu, and all the others…
Stunned like a wooden chicken!
And he had even planned to discuss the topics with them to help them graduate faster.
The five young wolves, still cherishing beautiful hopes, were awaiting kind Old Master’s explanation of the wrong answers.
But they found that the kind-hearted Great Emperor had sunk into deep contemplation.
The clan school teacher by their side didn’t bother with them, but instead grabbed Wang Lixian, who was in the form of a little sapling, and criticized earnestly, “My child, I know you’ve just awakened your intelligence not long ago, however these are all foundational knowledge you’re learning now. If you can’t even master this, how will you face more intense competition in the future? Let me tell you, you won’t even be good at fighting.”
“Yiyiyi, arithmetic useless yayaya.” Wang Lixian waved her branches, stubbornly retorting, “As for fighting, as long as the firepower is enough, boom boom boom, kaboom kaboom! and you win~~”
“How much firepower is enough?” the clan school teacher asked.
“The more the better, yiyiyaya, explosion is art!” Wang Lixian waved her branches, claiming that with enough firepower, one could defeat all enemies in the world.
“I’ve heard you talk about your battle tactics. Suppose you have ten thousand points of energy… alright, that’s a big number, I get it, suppose you have a hundred points of energy, your dad can replenish you with ten points per breath, under normal conditions you can naturally recover one point per breath, catalyzing a Strengthened Fire Dragon Fruit Tree costs two points…” the clan school teacher began to ramble on with her, discussing battle plans and how to make precise calculations with mathematics.
“Let’s calculate how much firepower you can set up in ten breaths.”
“We have five different fire powers of Fire Dragon Fruit… and nine other Spirit Plants… how to arrange them to generate more firepower.”
“Li Xian girl, can’t do the math, huh? Studying math well can make your firepower stronger and more ferocious. And you don’t have to be like those five Wang Dalangs who can’t graduate even after thirty years, not even that dumb bear graduated last year!”
A bear graduated?
Emperor Longchang’s old face felt a little hot, and the test paper in his hands felt like a hot potato. He immediately pretended to briskly close the test paper and stood with his hands behind his back, adopting a serious expression, “Actually, the Clan School teacher is right, the knowledge and culture you’ve learned are all your own.”
“Mistakes aren’t scary, what’s scary is not willing to work hard to correct them. Therefore, I think with your current level, you should really continue to study in-depth at the Clan School. If I help you carelessly now, I’d just be harming you.”
“With your little bit of knowledge, what can you do even if you barely graduate from the Clan School? Go to the prairie and howl while hunting?”
“Howl, howl~~” Wang Dalang and the others hung their heads, their eyes filled with shame, kind grandpa-emperor was right, they really should do some self-reflection.
Even the Clan School teacher cast an approving glance his way, “With an elder like you, Wang Dalang and the others have a future looking forward to their graduation.”
“Please, please, it all depends on the teacher.” Emperor Longchang no longer dared to underestimate the Clan School teacher.
…
Meanwhile.
Wang Shouzhe had already dealt with Brother Zhong Xingwang’s posthumous affairs and rested at home for several days, adjusting his mindset.
That day, he was enjoying a rare moment of leisure in the small courtyard, half-reclining on a Taishi Chair, basking in the sun and sipping Spiritual Tea while reading the frequent letters sent by Emperor Zi’an.
After decades of governing the state, Emperor Zi’an had become more mature and stable, managing the nation’s affairs in an orderly way.
But as the ruler of a country, there were too many trivial matters, making three-tenths of his letters consist of complaints about being too busy and brain-burning. Then, another three-tenths were attempts at luring Wang Shouzhe to move to Return to Dragon City to assist him with state affairs.
Otherwise, he’d move to Ping’an Town to live.
Only about four-tenths of the content was about some recent troublesome political issues he wanted to discuss.
No way.
He would not go to Return to Dragon City, not even if he were offered to be the Prime Minister.
Isn’t it good to stay at home with the wife and kids, basking in the sun?
Right away.
Wang Shouzhe grabbed a pen and replied with a flourish, once again without hesitation refused the invitation to enter politics, and then appeased Emperor Zi’an’s emotions.
After offering several constructive suggestions, he laid back in the Taishi Chair and resumed basking in the sun.
He half-closed his eyes, savoring this rare leisure time.
But at that moment.
A head of household hurriedly came to report, “Reporting to the Family Head, the Xinping Town patrol team has sent urgent news. They’ve detected a suspicious group of spies engaged in espionage and inciting rebellion. When the patrol team tried to capture them according to the law, one of the suspects tore through space and escaped.”
“Pfft!”
Wang Shouzhe spurted out a mouthful of Spiritual Tea, exclaiming, “What do you mean tore through space and escaped?”
“It’s just…” The head of household wordlessly handed over the urgent letter, “That’s what the message says, ‘tore through space and escaped.'”
Wang Shouzhe took a look at the letter, and indeed, that’s what it said.
Some Cultivators with outstanding spatial talents in the Purple Abode Realm could already impress by using some principles of space to disappear from sight.
And some Cultivators in the Divine Power Territory who were adept in the art of space could achieve short-distance instant teleportation, but it was not the same as tearing through space to escape.
Legend had it that only at the Transcendent Emperor level did one possess the terrifying power to shatter the void.
Tear through space and escape? What level of spy was this?
A Void Realm spy!?
What had the Wang family done to attract a Void Realm spy to peek around?
That being said, there was only one truth left.
Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, suddenly speechless. The mighty Emperor Longchang, actually sneaking around the Wang family’s territory as a spy?
Was he so bored and had nothing better to do?
Engaging in espionage and inciting rebellion?
Wang Shouzhe’s lips twitched slightly. Could there be something wrong with the Wu Family’s genetic heritage? Always seeming prone to cause trouble…
Should he consider more seriously before going ahead with the marriage alliance with the Wu Family?
