Chapter 147: Lunyu

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After a friendly meeting with village chief Ge Xiu, both sides sincerely exchanged opinions on the matter of Lu Yuan moving into Niu Family Village.

At the end of the meeting, both sides reached a friendly consensus on this matter.

Lu Yuan, a rural teacher, was able to assist with the cultural development of Niu Family Village.

For Niu Family Village, this not only meant that they would have one more neighbor but also that their children would receive a better education in the future.

Village chief Ge Xiu made a concluding speech.

“Lu Yuan has become a member of Niu Family Village. No one is allowed to neglect, discriminate against, or insult the only teacher in the village.

If anyone dares to do so, they will be punished. The lighter punishment would be banishment from Niu Family Village, and the heavier punishment would be village law!”

Niu Family Village, village chief Ge Xiu, Notification to all villagers.

Two years later, Niu Family Village School.

The sound of reading came from the school in the morning.

“The Master said, “Is it not pleasant to learn with constant perseverance and application?”

The children said in unison, “The Master said, “Is it not pleasant to learn with constant perseverance and application?”

“Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters?”

The children shouted again, “Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters?”

Lu Yuan looked at the children’s serious studying appearance and nodded in approval.

However, among this group of children, there was a little one who was shaking her head and had wandering eyes.

The other children were holding books, and even if they didn’t necessarily understand what was written, they were still trying their best to learn.

But this girl not only held the book upside down but was also half-hearted in the process of learning.

She lowered her head and opened and closed her mouth.

She looked like she was repeating Lu Yuan’s words like the other children.

But in reality, she probably didn’t even know what she was mumbling.

And her small movements were undoubtedly unable to escape Lu Yuan’s eagle-eyed.

“Shan Yao…”

“Here!”

Hearing Lu Yuan call out her name, Shan Yao immediately stood up in fright.

Lu Yuan looked at Shan Yao, whose mouth was stuffed like a hamster with food, and said, “Shan Yao, did I tell you not to eat snacks during morning reading?”

“All?”

Looking at Lu Yuan’s expressionless face, Shan Yao’s small face immediately wrinkled into a frown.

Then, she chewed on the meat bun that Wan’er had secretly put in her lunchbox in the morning and finished it all.

After eating, Shan Yao hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve and looked up at Lu Yuan.

“Teacher, I, I didn’t eat anything!”

“Good girl, do you think I don’t have eyes?” Lu Yuan thought.

“What were you doing just now, gobbling down food like that? Were you eating air?”

Lu Yuan shook his head speechlessly when he saw Shan Yao in front of him.

The other children looked like they were watching a good show as if this scene was not unfamiliar to them.

Lu Yuan walked down from the podium and came to stand in front of Shan Yao.

He looked at the Shan Yao, which was only slightly taller than the table.

“Stretch out your hand,” he said sternly.

“Ah!”

Upon hearing that Lu Yuan wanted her to stretch out her hand, Shan Yao mostly cried.

As Shan Yao trembled, she slowly stretched out her plump little hand.

Holding a ferule in his hand, Lu Yuan hit Shan Yao with moderate force.

However, this seemingly harmless strike caused Shan Yao to jump in pain.

Her eyes were filled with tears because of the pain.

After giving the disobedient Shan Yao a slight punishment, Lu Yuan spoke again, “Shan Yao, tell me, what does the phrase ‘take things as they come’ mean?”

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s question, Shan Yao, who had been crying, immediately made a bitter face and started scratching her ears and cheeks.

After a moment of thought, she said in a childish voice, “Sir, 1 think it means that since the other party has arrived here, we should bury them here!”

“D*mn, what’s wrong with this girl’s brain?” Lu Yuan thought.

I clearly taught you the Analects of Confucius, not some other book!

The children burst into laughter upon hearing Shan Yao’s response.

After all, many of these children were already thirteen or fourteen years old.

Compared to Shan Yao, who was only seven years old this year, they naturally knew more.

When Shan Yao heard the children’s laughter, she thought they were approving of her answer.

Therefore, she raised her head proudly as if expecting praise.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but tap her forehead with the ferule.

“Do you think your answer is correct? You seem quite proud,” he said.

After being suddenly hit on the head, Shan Yao covered her forehead in confusion.

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly and continued to ask questions.

He wanted to see if Shan Yao had improved in the past two years.

“What does [If the scholar be not grave, he will not inspire dignity] mean?”

Shan Yao confidently replied, “A gentleman must use great force when hitting someone, otherwise he cannot establish authority.”

“What does [If people do not recognize me and it doesn’t bother me, am I not a superior man] mean?”

Shan Yao thought for a moment before replying, “Even if my enemies don’t know my name, 1 shouldn’t be upset. That’s what a gentleman would do.”

“What does [Those who do not have enough strength give up half away] mean?”

“Those who are not as strong as me will be beaten by me on the way!”

As she spoke, Shan Yao rolled up her sleeves to show that she was good at fighting.

Oh well, she was hopeless. Just give up.

After a series of tests, Lu Yuan sadly accepted the fact that he had failed to educate Shan Yao.

This child’s mind seemed to be only focused on ‘food’ and ‘fighting’.

No matter what the topic was, she always managed to relate it to these two things.

How could her luck talent be a natural foodie? This child’s luck talent should be to be naturally foolish!

Lu Yuan had transmigrated for so long, but he had never met anyone as foolish as her.

Using “foolish” to describe Shan Yao was already Lu Yuan’s most euphemistic way of saying it.

After all, he didn’t want to say anything too harsh to a seven-year-old girl.

When Shan Yao saw that Lu Yuan was no longer asking questions, she thought that he was convinced by her answer, so she began to scratch her head in embarrassment.

Lu Yuan had completely given up on her.

Forget it, forget it. This child was destined to have no affinity for literature.

In any case, as long as she could read and understand the cultivation technique, it was enough for her.

After all, Shan Yao didn’t seem very intelligent. She was not cut out for studying.

She should focus on learning how to forge her body.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan looked at Shan Yao’s interface.

He had been in secluded cultivation for a period of time, which had led to Shan

Yao being left to her own devices for a while.

When he looked at her cultivation level, he was shocked.

[Name: Shan Yao]

[Cultivation Level: Acquired Realm Ninth Level]

[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Martial Secret Manual, Golden Light Secret Scripture, Foundation Establishment Chapter]

“I was only in secluded cultivation for half a year, and you’ve already advanced from Acquired Realm Sixth Level to Acquired Realm Ninth Level?”

“If 1 give you a bit more time, will you give me a ‘Five Years Innate, Three Years True Martial’ surprise?”

“I don’t even seem to be as fast as you when I cultivate!”

Thinking back to when he was trying to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, he had done everything he could.

But Shan Yao didn’t need to do anything special to cultivate. She just needed to eat.

Not only was it effortless for her, but it was also incredibly efficient, and there were no side effects.

Was it unfair that someone with such great luck could increase their strength so easily?

He begrudgingly admitted that he was envious of Shan Yao.

He was so angry.. Why didn’t his luck talent back then include the natural foodie?
