Chapter 5: The Teacher's Friend and the Teacher's Tea

[Your teacher He Pingsheng heard that you returned to the Ye family. Although you were foolish and silly before, your teacher still misses you in his heart. Let your teacher see the difference between you and before.]

[Task 1, cumulatively see one difference: reward: practice speed increased by 1%. ]

[Task 2, see five differences cumulatively: reward: practice speed increased by 2%. ]

[Task 3, see seven differences cumulatively: reward: increase the practice speed by 3%. ]

[Task 4, see nine differences in total: reward talent, photographic memory, and apply what you have learned to other situations.]

Ye Xiuxiu widened her eyes.

Looking at the detailed description of the task reward in front of me,

The whole person was stunned.

She was surprised to find that

This time the rewards were not distributed all at once, but were divided into several stages!

What is even more unexpected is that

When she saw Task 4, she was surprised to find that it actually included a talent ability as a reward!

This is so tempting.

However, despite the desire for this gifted ability,

Ye Xiuxiu fell into deep distress - because she had no idea how to complete these tasks!

Carefully studying the requirements of the task,

Ye Xiuxiu suddenly realized that

Maybe it would be easier to wait until I was sixty-one to try again.

After all, at that time, Teacher He Pingsheng had already seen me,

But now,

This was the first time He Pingsheng saw himself, and it was the first time for everything, so how could there be any difference?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel depressed.

It seems that this mission is going to fail.

"Xiu Xiu,"

Bai Qingxia reminded Ye Xiuxiu.

Ye Xiuxiu reacted immediately and was still in the process of becoming a disciple.

She shouted in a baby voice,

"Hello, Brain Master!"

I saw her small body standing straight.

Two little hands were placed neatly on both sides of the body.

The movements are quite standard.

Just these words shouted out from that cute little mouth,

But everyone present couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even He Pingsheng, who originally had a serious face,

I was also amused by this sudden scene and burst out laughing.

Everyone laughed and secretly sighed in their hearts:

After all, he is still just a two-year-old child!

Although Mr. He Pingsheng felt that Ye Xiuxiu's performance was not as good and standardized as Ye Ruyan's,

But it is undeniable that

The innocent childishness displayed by Ye Xiuxiu,

But it is even more rare and precious.

The students he had met in the past,

Most of them are like Ye Ruyan, behaving in a standard and respectful manner.

This is the first time I've seen someone as creative as Ye Xiuxiu!

[Your teacher He Pingsheng saw something different about you.]

[Reward: Increase cultivation speed by 100%. 】

Ye Xiuxiu was completely stunned.

She opened her eyes wide and looked around blankly.

I thought to myself:

"What did I do? I just said 'Hello, teacher'.

How come Task 1 was completed so easily?

Is this task really that easy?

How about...I try to shout again?"

So Ye Xiuxiu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Hello, Master Nao!"

However, this time the system did not respond.

It was as if he didn't hear her cry at all.

At this moment, He Pingsheng smiled and said cheerfully:

"Hello, hello!"

"From now on, I will be your teacher!"

As he spoke, he nodded slightly.

Then, he continued, "However, before we officially start teaching,"

"We still have to be polite when we become apprentices!"

In fact, these so-called etiquettes were all discussed with Ye Qingping in advance, and it was Ye Qingping who took the initiative to propose the request.

After all, if it weren't for Ye Qingping's approval,

Even if you lend him ten guts,

He would never dare to come up with complicated rules.

Just because Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan called him teacher,

From then on, whenever he went out,

In front of my peers,

They can all stand up straighter than before.

At this time, Ye Qingping, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke calmly:

"Bring the tea."

As soon as the words fell,

Then he saw a servant walking towards him hurriedly.

The servant held a tray made of expensive brown wood steadily in his hands.

Two exquisite white porcelain bowls were placed on the tray.

When the servant came near,

First, bend down slightly.

Then he carefully placed the tray in front of the two little masters, Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan.

Although the teacup was covered, the aroma of tea could be smelled through.

Next, all he had to do was wait for the two of them to reach out and pick up the tea bowls, and respectfully hand them over to He Pingsheng.

Then He Pingsheng took a sip,

Then this is over.

With this simple yet crucial action completed,

The whole ceremony came to an end.

I have to say that this process is a bit too simplified.

But it is just a formality, with more symbolic significance than actual operation.

At this moment, sisters Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan simultaneously turned their eyes to the two equally flawless white tea bowls placed in front of them.

They reached out together and lifted it up steadily.

At this moment, Ye Xiuxiu's mother Bai Qingxia and Ye Ruyan's mother Liu Yuesong, who were standing nearby, both felt their hearts hang in the balance and became extremely uneasy.

According to common sense, Ye Xiuxiu, as the elder sister, should be ranked first.

That is to say, if everything goes according to plan,

He Pingsheng should first taste the tea handed over by Ye Xiuxiu.

Because the cup of tea that is drunk by the tea taster first often represents the order of first entry.

However, Ye Ruyan's outstanding performance just now made people feel doubtful.

She was more polite, more like a student.

Perhaps it was these that attracted He Pingsheng's attention.

This made it possible for him to change the original order.

Give priority to tasting the fragrant tea served by Ye Ruyan.

In just a few seconds,

The two mothers felt like a cat's claws scratching their hearts, and they were eager to know what the final result would be.

Especially Liu Yuesong,

She hoped that her daughter would stand out in this competition.

I am your younger sister, so every bit of advantage I can get is a plus.

Ye Ruyan was seen holding the teacup in both hands and walking slowly towards He Pingsheng with light steps.

Then she bent down slightly.

Lean forward to an angle of nearly ninety degrees.

He said with great respect: "Teacher, please have some tea."

Hearing these words,

The old man with a snow-white beard showed a kind smile on his face.

He responded softly, "Okay."

Then he stretched out his right hand,

Carefully took the teacup from Ye Ruyan's hand,

Took a sip gently.

The first thing He Pingsheng drank was actually the tea offered by Ye Ruyan!

Bai Qingxia was stunned for a moment.

The whole person seemed to be under a spell and couldn't move.

At the same time, Liu Yuesong's mouth corners slightly raised,

A faint smile quietly emerged.

At this moment, Bai Qingxia's mind was full of doubts:

"Where is Xiuxiu? Why didn't you taste the tea Xiuxiu served first?"

"Could it be because Xiuxiu's posture when serving tea was not standard enough?"

"Oh! It's all my fault!"

She couldn't help but blame herself secretly in her heart.

If I had known this would happen, I should have taught Xiuxiu the correct way to serve tea.

She didn't teach me any manners at all. She is really an incompetent mother!

It is really my own fault that the situation has turned out like this.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingxia was filled with regret.

So, she quickly turned her gaze to Ye Ruyan.

Want to see what Ye Xiuxiu is doing now?

But she was confused.

The place was empty and there was no trace of Ye Xiuxiu at all.

Where is Xiuxiu?

There were only the couple, He Pingsheng, Ye Ruyan, and the servants at the scene.

I just don’t see Ye Xiuxiu.

Just when Bai Qingxia was extremely anxious,

A series of "swish swish" sounds came into her ears without warning.

This strange sound attracted her attention.

She quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The voice came from behind the servant.

The servant hurriedly took a step back, revealing Ye Xiuxiu's figure.

Ye Xiuxiu was standing there steadily, holding the teacup in both hands.

She pursed her lips and made a "slurp, slurp" sound.

He was drinking the tea with relish, which was supposed to be dedicated to teacher He Pingsheng.
