Xi Yan didn't say anything.

He coughed in embarrassment, then got up and bid farewell to the temple priest as if nothing had happened.

But after he walked out of the priest's temple, he was greeted by a group of priests who were heartbroken.

They looked at him expectantly: "Your Highness?"

Now I don't even ask any questions, just hint him directly.

When Xi Yan thought that he had slept comfortably all morning, now facing these priests who cared about him, he felt guilty for no reason.

"Cough, I have carried out the priest's order seriously."

The priest told him to sleep, and he did obey, so there is nothing wrong with it.

It's a pity that the elderly priests didn't understand the deep meaning behind this sentence. They were relieved to see that Xi Yan had finally entered the Tao.

For the next few days, Xi Yan reported to the side hall every day before dawn, and every time the priest of the temple would let him sleep when he was sleepy.

In this way, the two have maintained a peaceful state, and every time Duoya came in, the complex emotions in his eyes deepened.

But in Xi Yan's view, he clearly wanted to talk about him, but he didn't dare to talk about him.

However, this state did not last long, and three days later, something happened.

Xi Yan was criticized by the priests who had taught him in turn.

They are sad and angry.

"Since that's the case, why does Your Highness bother to lie to us with good words?!"

"I didn't lie to you either"

Xi Yan murmured, he had indeed listened to the words of the priests of the temple, but seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the priests, he stopped talking immediately.

There is corruption inside the temple, which Xi Yan has always known.

Many priests use their lofty status and people's beliefs to collect money for themselves, make friends with powerful people, provoke the government, and carelessly ignore human lives.

But those priests were mostly active in front of the temple, and the news about him was passed on through them before, but after it was determined that he was still a mud that could not be supported, those eyeliners withdrew a lot.

Those people are different from the dedicated priests in front of them. These priests really hope that he can practice with the priests of the temple.

They are true adherents of faith.

Xi Yan listened patiently to their teachings.

It didn't take long for this matter to be embellished by other princes and princesses, and it reached the ears of the king. The king was furious and summoned Xi Yan back.

The lord scolded Xi Yan all morning, if it wasn't for the fear that the temple priest would ask him, Xi Yan might have to go back with injuries all over his body.

When he walked out of the study, he faced a group of brothers and sisters who came to see the good show and made trouble.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Xi Yan was scolded very badly."

"Father was very angry, and even sealed Xi Yan's Prince's Mansion."

"Hahaha, it really is a disgrace to the royal family."

"I don't know how such a waste temple priest would choose him."

Xi Yan ignored the words of those in front of him, and looked directly at the person who said the last sentence—his elder brother, who was ranked fifth.

"Brother Wang's words, could it be that he is questioning the priest?"

After the words fell, the fifth prince's expression changed, and he became flustered visibly: "Xi Yan, don't talk nonsense! Your Highness has never thought of this before!"

Xi Yan snorted, and glanced at the group of people who watched his jokes: "Since everyone has such an idea, I will report it to the priest."

This sentence shocked those who still wanted to ridicule him.

A group of people looked terrified and could only watch Xi Yan leave helplessly.

How could they have forgotten that even if Xi Yan was reprimanded by the king today, he was still chosen by the temple priest, and before the temple priest spoke, he was still her disciple.

After Xi Yan was held accountable and went back, he continued to appear in the side hall of the priest's temple the next day like a normal person.

The temple priest still didn't say anything, and the two continued to do their own things.

Xi Yan: "."

In this way, a few more days passed.

The priests who cared about him often hid behind a rockery outside the side hall to observe the situation inside. Seeing that they were doing nothing like this, they couldn't help but find Xi Yan again.

Seeing the distressed faces of several priests, the corners of Xi Yan's mouth twitched.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn, it's that the priest of the temple ignored him after only one word with him. How can he learn?
but--

Facing a group of elderly priests, Xi Yan finally realized his conscience: "I, I will try."

When he came to Piandian to report for duty next time, Xi Yan didn't go back to sleep, but lay down on the desk, secretly looking at the girl with peaceful brows behind the desk.

If looks can deceive people, then the temple priests will definitely be the best among them.

He reacted belatedly, the priest of the temple must have dug a big hole for him, right?

But he couldn't question her, because from the beginning to the end, she only said that sentence, making him fall asleep whenever he wanted to.

miss you.

— This is his choice.

At that moment, Xi Yan seemed to understand something. The first lesson given to him by the temple priest was to choose.

The priest of the temple who was studying ancient books slowly raised his head and stared at Xi Yan who was in a daze opposite him.

"Do you understand?"

The majestic and peaceful voice brought back Xi Yan's thoughts.

He suppressed his emotions and nodded with a complicated expression.

The temple priest asked another multiple-choice question: "Would you like to learn from me."

".willing."

This time Xi Yan was really willing.

As a result, the priests who were secretly observing the situation outside all left with a look of relief when they saw the situation in the side hall change.

Because of his 'convicted record', even when he heard that Xi Yan had finally started to study with the temple priests, the follow-up did not cause much trouble.

After all, in their view, this was completely the result of Xi Yan being forced to helplessness, and it did not change his status as a free-for-all waste.

The last batch of eyeliners withdrew, and Xi Yan looked away from the window.

The temple priest who was looking for ancient books on the display shelf glanced back at him: "It took a month to perform this play, and the ending will be as you wish."

"cough"

Xi Yan turned his head in embarrassment, he was not surprised that the priest of the temple could see what he was doing: "As I wish, this priest's temple is quiet and quiet, which is perfect for me."

This is the site of the priests of the temple. Hiding here can indeed relieve a lot of pressure. After figuring it out, Xi Yan is not so resistant to reporting here before dawn every day.

"So, let you give up Goulan Washe, would you like to?"

".Do you have to give up?"

Xi Yan's face paused, with real regret on his face.

The priest of the temple smiled lightly, took the scroll of the ancient book in his hand and handed it to him: "Priest of the temple, don't drink alcohol."

"Of course, of course."

Xi Yan quickly responded and took the scroll by the way.

Then he opened it and saw the obscure and mysterious ancient characters on it. He felt dizzy after only a few glances.
