"Thank you, Father."
Si Jin took the imperial edict and stayed to have lunch with the emperor.
After the meal, the emperor issued another imperial edict, appointing him to replace the original Nangong Liuer as the teacher of English at the Imperial Academy.
Fearing that he would be suppressed by Nangong Liuer, she gave him the identity of a scholar.
This would allow him to exercise maximum power in disciplining the students.
Si Jin left the palace in the afternoon and briefly inspected the Imperial Academy. Seeing the resentful looks in everyone's eyes, he decisively dragged all the wealthy young men who had helped Nangong Liuer target him to kneel on the sharp pebbles in the courtyard as punishment.
Meanwhile, he leaned back comfortably in his rocking chair, coolly reprimanding, "When you all pleaded for Nangong Liuer, didn't you all like to kneel? Then keep kneeling, until I'm happy!"
“Anyone who gets up at will be given one hundred strokes of the cane the first time, two hundred strokes the second time, three hundred strokes the third time, and so on. Anyone who thinks they are made of steel can come up and try.”
This...this isn't punishment, it's torture!
The students clamored for rebellion, but Si Jin summoned the Imperial Guards to forcibly suppress them.
Having no other choice, they could only kneel down, tears welling in their eyes, indignant yet cowardly and obedient.

Si Jin left the Imperial Guards to watch over him, while he leisurely returned to the Prince's Palace.
Watching his departing figure, Nangong Liuer's eyes turned venomous, and she immediately sent out her system.
"Go and follow Ning Sijin quickly. See if he has a soul-transmigrated soul and a system. Steal all his data and research and integrate it to come up with the best solution!"
He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Kill Ning Sijin and avenge my elder brother!"
As she spoke, a small, square-headed robot floated out of her mind and followed Si Jin.
In her mind's eye, Xiao Yao had just taken out a bag of snacks, opened the packaging, and hadn't even taken a bite when the system's alarm beeped: [Alarm, alarm.]
[An unknown magnetic field is approaching. Host, please be alert.]
The little tiger was startled, and its paw loosened, causing a bag of snacks to spill all over the ground.

It was sad for a moment, its fur stood on end, and with its bushy tail raised, it bit the square-headed robot that had dared to intrude, using its absolute technological advantage to disassemble its data.
[Hmph, you big bad guy! You owe me snacks! You owe me snacks!]
The square-headed robot, being rather clumsy, hadn't even had a chance to scan the data before Xiao Yao bit and damaged the system.
It landed listlessly in front of the enraged tiger cub.
The data was unstable, it convulsed, and then automatically shut down after a few seconds.
It looks ridiculous and funny.
Xiao Yao was still angry. She raised her little paw and slapped the square-headed robot a few times before disgustedly picking it up and throwing it into the hazardous waste bin.
Afterwards, feeling extremely distressed, she went to buy up her snacks.
Si Jin ignored her poor little tiger and continued to rest with her eyes closed.
He got off the carriage at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the room, he saw Beitang Linyuan place a bowl of soup in front of him.
"This is?"
The man's voice was a little hoarse: "Ginger soup, you've been out all day, warm yourself up."
"Hmm." Si Jin nodded, sat down and took a couple of sips, clearly sensing Bei Tang Lin Yuan's low spirits.
She put down the soup, leaned close to his lips and kissed him, asking, "What's wrong?"
“My godfather has passed away. I just received news from my fellow disciples that he was bitten by a poisonous insect in the dark of night and was already dead when they found him.”
As Beitang Linyuan spoke, he couldn't help but take a breath and reached out to hug Si Jin.
Like a lifeline, she hugged him tightly, sniffed, and continued, "I recognized him as my godfather when I was a child. Over the years, he was the only one who was good to me, but now he has been killed. He has been murdered, Jinjin!"
When speaking, Beitang Linyuan clearly couldn't control his emotions.
Her voice trembled, and the hands holding him shook as well.
He gritted his teeth and said, slowly and deliberately, "Jinjin, I have to go back and find out the truth, but I'm worried about you."
“I…I watched with my own eyes as the people I cared about died one by one in front of me, and now I only have you left.”
