"Oh? Tell me about it."
"It was my elder sister who begged Master to accept me as his disciple."
"But Master had his own reasons for accepting Ke Ke as a disciple."
"If Keke isn't good, Master won't accept her."
Xiao Xi stopped eating and spoke indistinctly.
"You silly girl, nothing can shut you up."
"Laughing"
Qin Jingke stopped eating and waited quietly for Qin Jue to speak, but after a long while, he didn't hear anything from Qin Jue and felt somewhat uneasy.
"Well, since we're learning painting from Zhang Shuhao, we should study hard."
"Your subject will, Father."
"Yes, Zhang Shubo is the number one painter in Fenglan Kingdom. No one paints better than him."
"Daddy~, is Master really that powerful?"
"You're the only one who doesn't know, aren't you?"
Qin Jingke was eating at the same table as Qin Jue and Xiao Xi'er, which still felt very unreal to Qin Jingke.
Although Qin Jingke had eaten at the same table with Qin Jue, Xiao Xi'er, and Xiao Liyun before, there were rules and regulations that bound them, making it far less relaxed than this time.
Qin Jingke watched as Xiao Xi'er and Qin Jue chatted casually, occasionally offering a comment himself.
I feel very satisfied
After dinner, Qin Jue checked the sky and then called for help.
"Count to three, and send the Fifth Prince back."
"Daddy, his name isn't 'Three Numbers,' it's 'Calculation.'"
"Oh? Why?"
Qin Jue looked at the arithmetic on the ground (renamed Three Numbers) and asked...
"That's because I listened to Master Zhang's lecture with Guoguo that day."
"Grand Tutor Zhang said he taught arithmetic."
"Then I started calling Grandpa Three Count Grandpa 'Arithmetic Grandpa'~"
"I never imagined that my little Xi'er could give people names."
Qin Jue affectionately stroked Xiao Xi'er's head, then looked at the math teacher.
"Since the princess bestowed this name upon you, you shall be called 'Calculator' from now on."
"Thank you, Princess, for bestowing this name upon me; thank you, Your Majesty."
The man kneeling on the ground bowed to Xiao Xi'er and Qin Jue.
"Get up, and escort the Fifth Prince back to Cherry Blossom Garden."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will go immediately."
"Your subject takes his leave."
Qin Jue simply nodded, and Qin Jingke followed him as they left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Minglang, how could you do this to me?"
"Who gave you the right to bully my Yu'er?"
As he spoke, Liu Ming took the opportunity to pinch Tang Yu's waist, looking at her with deep affection.
"Sister Green Leaf, don't look at me like that..."
"I...I didn't want to either, but...but Ming-ge doesn't like you~"
"You bitch, if I had known this would happen, I should have killed you beforehand!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu excitedly hid in Liu Ming's arms.
"Ming... Brother Ming, I'm so scared~"
"I...I'm not really going to die, am I?"
"I haven't even had a proper chance to spend time with Ming-ge yet~"
Looking at Tang Yu who had rushed into his arms, Liu Ming felt a great sense of satisfaction. He reached out and patted Tang Yu's back.
"Don't worry, he won't have that chance!"
He then glared fiercely at Green Leaf.
"Minglang, am I not the one you love most?"
"Ming-ge~, didn't you say she was the person you loved most~"
"Looks like I'm nothing special after all~ I'll just leave then and make way for Sister Green Leaf~"
With that, Tang Yu pushed Liu Ming away, clutched her chest, and turned to leave.
However, Tang Yu took very small steps, so Liu Ming didn't even need to move; he simply reached out and grabbed Tang Yu's arm.
"Rain, be good."
"My favorite is Yu'er. I'll handle that bitch."
"But~"
As he spoke, Liu Ming took Tang Yu's hand, patted it, then let go of Tang Yu's hand and walked to Green Leaf.
Green Leaf, whose Achilles tendon had been severed by Liu Ming, looked at Liu Ming as he walked up to her.
At that moment, filled with terror and fear, he braced himself on the ground and moved backward.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ming grabbed her leg.
"Green Leaf, where do you want to go?"
"Minglang, we...we were...we were husband and wife, after all. They say even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness...you...you can't..."
Before Green Leaf could finish speaking, Liu Ming grabbed her by the neck.
"Are we husband and wife?"
"Only Yu'er is capable of being my wife."
Tang Yu walked up to Green Leaf, her face full of guilt, "Brother Ming, please forgive her, please let it go~"
"Ming-ge, I'd better give up my seat to Sister Green Leaf, I..."
Liu Ming released his grip on Lü Ye and grabbed Tang Yu's hand. "Yu'er, this bitch isn't worth pleading for."
Seeing this, Green Leaf didn't care about anything else. Knowing she was doomed, she no longer expected Liu Ming and Tang Yu to let her go.
"Hahaha"
"What a despicable pair of people!!!"
"Tang Yu, who do you think you are? You only act arrogantly in the palace because you're Consort Wan's sworn sister, right? In reality, you're nothing but a nobody!?"
"Liu Ming, who do you think you are?!"
"You're only slightly taller than ordinary women, and all you do is bully us palace maids and eunuchs."
"You treat me like this, one day you too will die a horrible death!!!"
"Ming-ge~"
Hearing Green Leaf's curses at her, Tang Yu immediately threw herself into Liu Ming's arms.
Hearing Green Leaf's curses, Liu Ming became so enraged that he grabbed Green Leaf's neck again.
"I think you really want to die!"
"Heh...cough cough...you...you...scumbags and bitches...you deserve...a terrible death..."
"I...cough cough...curse...you, curse..."
Liu Ming strangled Green Leaf to death, and Green Leaf died before she could even finish her last words, "I curse you all."
"Ming-ge~, what are we going to do..."
Tang Yu was shocked that Liu Ming actually dared to strangle Lu Ye.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Seeing Tang Yu's anxiety, Liu Ming remained calm, "Just pretend you didn't see it."
I will handle it.
"Um…"
"Wait me a moment"
With that, Liu Ming released Tang Yu's hand and left.
When they returned a short while later, they were carrying a lot of stones and a rope.
He then tore a large piece of cloth from his own clothes, wrapped the stone in the cloth, tied it with a rope, and placed it by the lake.
He bent down again, picked up the green leaf with obvious disdain, walked to the lakeside, and placed the leaf there as well.
Then he took the other end of the rope and tied it around Green Leaf's waist, kicked Green Leaf into the lake, picked up the stone on the ground, stretched out his arms, and let go.
The dead green leaf was thrown into the lake, and due to the weight of the stone, it sank to the bottom.
Seeing Liu Ming's fluid and graceful movements, Tang Yu felt a certain fear towards him.
But thinking about my future, I feel it was all worthwhile; I chose the right person.
As soon as Tang Yu saw Liu Ming coming over, she ran straight to him.
"Ming-ge~"
"Just pretend you didn't see it, pretend it never happened."
"Otherwise...neither of us will escape..."
Tang Yu realized that Liu Ming was warning her, so she leaned against him.
