148, The Fifth Retirement World [20]

After the doctor repeatedly said that he was fine, Yan Ling returned to the school.

Although the knowledge of each world has some minor changes, it is generally the same. When Yan Ling was still working, he was curious about the origins behind these worlds. Then he found that the key to the formation of these worlds is that their historical nodes are different.

Those nodes may be a small thing like turning left or right, or they may be the rise and fall of a country.

To put it simply, it is the butterfly effect.

One difference, two differences, three differences...

When these different options are slowly accumulated, even two leaves that were originally the same will no longer be the same.

In history, this world once had a time when hundreds of schools of thought flourished, and now Confucianism is flourishing.

Yan Ling didn't really hate Confucianism, but he didn't particularly like it either. But the only convenience of it was that it needed to remember a lot of things.

For Yan Ling, his soul was stronger than that of ordinary people, so memorizing was not a difficult task.

So, although Yan Ling had rested at home for many days, when he suddenly returned to the school, he actually didn't feel any discomfort.

Except that he found that there was suddenly one more student in his school.

There were not many teachers in the school. Including Master Shen and Yan Ling, there were less than ten people. Some of them had the impression that they had taught the original body in the past, and some of them should have been invited in by Master Shen after Yan Ling left the school because of the expansion of the school. But no matter which one, the knowledge was good.

But this was good only in the eyes of ordinary people. If compared with the Student Mansion in Shengjing, which was regarded as the holy place for scholars to study in the world, it was still far behind.

So, even Yan Ling was stunned for a moment when he saw Zeng Shu appear here.

In the school, Yan Ling originally taught three classes, but because Yan Ling was weak, he was only allowed to teach two classes after he came back this time.

Master Shen said with an experienced attitude that health is important.

Yan Ling did not feel that it was hard to watch students study and make mistakes every day. Unfortunately, when he euphemistically said that it was not hard, Master Shen looked at him with more pride and blame.

Yan Ling walked into the school slowly.

After seeing the figure, the students who had half a foot on the chair sat up straight instantly.

There was silence.

...

Zeng Shu herself did not expect that she could do such an outrageous thing.

But she did it.

She did have deep feelings for Li Yunlu, but she did not really marry Li Yunlu and live with Li Yunlu, so in the end, compared to Li Yunlu, her family was the most important in her heart.

The prince had doted on her since she was young. When she was young, she would tell him everything she wanted to say. However, he was a man after all, and there were some things he could not give her useful advice on.

So, that night, she became more and more angry. The next morning, she went to her mother's bedroom and told her everything about Li Yunlu.

Zeng Shu originally thought that her mother, who loved her the most, would scold Li Yunlu, the blind man, with her.

But her mother's expression did not change much.

——"As long as you are a princess, he will never dare to divorce you."

——"Even if your father loves you more than me, there are still other concubines, other princes and princesses in this harem."

——"Men have the responsibility to inherit the family. Even if they are not from the Li family, the Wang family, the Lu family...what is the difference between men from these families? Which man in this world is not a passionate man?"

——"You are too willful. The Li family official is appointed as the left prime minister. Li Yunlu, the son of the Li family, is handsome and knowledgeable. You have known him since childhood. When he came to the palace as a child, I saw him following others every day. Even if you have time to wait for him, He won't blame you if you are angry. Mother thinks that no one is more suitable for you than him. "

--"The engagement is a big deal, not to mention that this is a marriage that was decided when your grandfather was still alive. It is impossible for you to change it just because you want to."

--"Besides, your brothers are all old. You and the young master of the Li family will help your brother. You and your brother are both my children. Although you are still young, you must know that after your father and I are gone for a hundred years, only your brother can protect you in the future..."

No one thought she was serious, even the maids in her palace thought the princess was angry.

Standing alone in the palace, there was a moment when Zeng Shu felt that there was a little absurdity in this world, but she couldn't say what it was.

It was just that she suddenly felt that some things that she had always believed in since she was a child seemed to be completely overturned.

Everyone was very close to her, but no one could feel her emotions or understand them.

Maybe, as they thought, she was just having a bad temper.

She requested the female hall of the Student's Mansion, and she asked her father for Li Yunlu's status in the Student's Mansion. If they were driven out together, the process might be tortuous, but she would definitely be able to do it.

But what next?

Everyone would know that they had offended the princess. A future consort of the princess and a weak and beautiful princess, the two put together at the same time, a fool could think of something.

Even if the engagement was not cancelled as she hoped, she just didn't want to have anything to do with those two people.

The love she once had turned into hatred.

If you don't want to see them, then don't see them.

As a princess, Zeng Shu went to the Student's Mansion for convenience. Now she has no idea, so she won't go. Could there be some blind gentleman who would complain to her father?

But it was too boring to stay in the palace. Going out to play was fine for the first few times, but the novelty wore off later.

Until two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in her mind.

She remembered that Mr. Yan should be a teacher.

And the place where he taught, if she remembered correctly, should be a place called Shen's Academy.

……

Zeng Shu had been in Shen's Academy for several days. At first, she thought she had found the wrong place, because she didn't see the two brothers of the Yan family at all.

Until she heard that the teacher of the class she was studying in was named Yan, she didn't run away halfway.

That's right, she disguised herself as a man and sneaked into Shen's Academy to study.

So far, no one has doubted her identity.

And in the palace, because she had been out of the palace to play before, no one knew she was here.

Zeng Shu also attended classes when she was a child. As a royal family member, she couldn't be said to be well-educated, but she still had basic literary literacy.

The teacher who was substituting for Yan Ling was quite old. He spoke slowly when teaching, and students could easily fall asleep. But the teacher liked to ask questions, and in the end, ten students stood up to answer questions, and five or six of them were asked to stand by the teacher because they were sleepy and did not respond.

Although Zeng Shu was not listening, she had learned the books taught by the old teacher when she was a child, and she did not know how many times the teacher had asked her. Now that she was asked again, even if she could not answer them exactly, she could still answer them almost exactly.

So, Zeng Shu became an excellent student and a smart person in everyone's eyes within a few days of coming to the school.

The teacher was old and his eyes were not clear, so he did not notice the usual scenes in the school, but they, the students, saw them clearly from beginning to end.

This new guy never read the books seriously in class, and kept looking out the window, as if there was something good outside the window.

But he could answer the questions every time, which really made them jealous.

The people in the academy were not used to Zeng Shu who suddenly came here. Zeng Shu was also not used to everything here, especially her classmates.

When she was in the student's house, although there were also more people she didn't know, a group of people gathered together because they were all rich or noble, and the overall look was like a party they usually attended.

The theme of the party was to pursue elegance and appreciate flowers and drink tea, but in the student's house it became a more advanced poetry and song.

But in Shen's academy!

Snoring in class, after class, a group of teenagers actually chattered like women, and often ran childishly in the corridor, throwing books and playing...

It simply refreshed Zeng Shu's worldview.

Are they all reincarnated monkeys?

Finally, God will not let down those who work hard. Just when Zeng Shu's patience was about to reach the limit, Yan Ling came.

...

The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, making her a little uncomfortable.

She straightened her back slightly.

But - this is the atmosphere of a real class, isn't it?

Zeng Shu looked towards the door. The person standing there was Yan Ling. He was no different from the last time they met.

I didn't expect it. I thought these students were fearless, but it turned out that the person who could subdue them didn't come.

Zeng Shu looked expectant.

She had never seen Yan Zhong lose his temper before.

Not only that!

She glanced at the students next to her with a malicious look, asking them to throw books at her head last time. She just saw that they were the ones who were talking the loudest. Brother Yan would definitely scold them later.

Humph, they deserved it!

"Mr. Yan, you are finally back!" Someone spoke, his voice full of excitement.

Excited? Zeng Shu turned around in surprise.

What's going on?

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yan, I heard that your health is not good again. My family runs a pharmacy. My father said that if you are sick, you should take medicine. My father said that if you are sick again in the future, you can go to our house to buy medicine and give you a 20% discount."

"Mo Wu, you are doing business in our school, it's okay!"

"Hong Su, don't talk nonsense! I am... I am concerned about Mr. Yan."

The voices gradually sounded again, but they were one after another, orderly, and not noisy.

"Mr. Yan, you don't know that we missed you during your rest time."

"I dreamed that Mr. Yan's health improved when I dreamed yesterday. When I woke up, I found it was a dream and I was sad for a long time. This morning I heard the magpie calling on the branches of the tree, and I didn't expect to see Mr. Yan today."

"Mr. Yan..."

Zeng Shu's eyes widened.

This, this is not right?

Yesterday, you were still indifferent to the old man, but today you are like different people, as if you are possessed by demons.

If I didn't know that you are all men, I really suspected that you are women dressed as men, and you can say such reckless words.

Hey, hey, hey! And you, Mo Wu!

You are so old, with a red face, and you look hesitant and sissy, don't you feel weird and scary?
