The other person's appearance was so distinctive that it would be difficult for the Crown Princess not to recognize him.

Zu An cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Yin!"

Yin Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "I dare not accept such praise. Your knowledge is more than enough to be my teacher. I already feel bad for calling you 'teacher'. From now on, you can just call me Xiao Yin."

Princess: "???"

She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had done something wrong by going out today. Yin Shi, the most notoriously difficult and arrogant student in the academy, was actually being so respectful to Zu An? And she was even going to tolerate him becoming her teacher?

If she hadn't met Yin Shi before, she might have suspected that Zu An had hired a plant to act in the play.

At that moment, she felt a darkness around her. Turning around, she found that the chief priest had also come to the window, seemingly watching the situation outside.

The Crown Princess suddenly felt like laughing. She figured the Grand Master must be a little unsettled to find out that his direct disciple wanted to become someone else's apprentice.

At this moment, Yin Shi outside continued, "Mr. Zu, I just listened to your quantum theory and found it very helpful. Many of my doubts over the years have suddenly become clear, and now I have a lot of ideas I'd like to share with you..."

Jiang Luofu was startled. Her teacher was in the wooden house not far away. Wasn't what you said going against her? She quickly interrupted, "Junior brother, Azu has important matters to attend to."

"Do you want to see the teacher? No problem, I'll wait here." Yin Shi said with a look of admiration, "Only the teacher is qualified to sit down and discuss the Dao with Master Zu."

Zuan: "..."

Crown Princess: "..."

Qi Yaoguang: "..."

Jiang Luofu hurriedly said, "The teacher doesn't want to see him."

Yin Shi exclaimed, "Is Teacher getting senile? Master Zu is a great talent! A conversation with him might give Teacher some guidance, and his cultivation might advance even further... Ah..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly screamed, as if he had been kicked by an invisible force, and then rolled down the mountain like a ball of flesh.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but glance at him sideways. Usually, the Grand Master of Ceremonies seemed so calm and indifferent to worldly affairs, but she never expected him to be so vengeful at heart.

"Hey, what's wrong with Old Eleven?" At this moment, a voice came from outside again. A bitter and resentful old farmer and an elegant scholar in a long robe arrived together, and they were carrying a ball of flesh in their hands. It was none other than Yin Shi.

Yin Shi opened his mouth to answer, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say a word.

The elegant scholar in the long robe stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "I suppose you've been punished by your teacher again."

Looking at Yin Shi's ridiculous appearance, the old farmer's brows furrowed a little: "Finally, I don't have to listen to the eleventh brother's nagging anymore."

When the Crown Princess saw the two, she was secretly surprised. These must be Hei Baizi, the fifth disciple of the Grand Master of Ceremonies, and Wang Shuyang, the seventh disciple. It was rare to see either of them on ordinary days. Why were they gathered here today? Could it be that something important had happened?

I'm going on a long trip today, it'll be a 4-hour flight and a 5-hour drive, so this should be the only chapter for today.

Updates will likely be unstable in the coming days. I will try my best to keep updating regularly and will make up for any missed chapters when I return. Please forgive me.
