Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 19 Don’t you like it?
"It's time to go to school, Brother Ming, it's time to go to school~~~"

Early in the morning, just after the hour of Mao, Xu Ming had just finished his breakfast when he saw Qin Qingwan running in like a little white rabbit.

On her back was an empty little bookcase, and Mrs. Qin's personal maid Caidie followed behind Qin Qingwan.

"Well, let's go." Xu Ming jumped off the stool, also carrying a small bookcase on his back.

After Qin Qingwan and Xu Ming said goodbye to Xu's mother, Qin Qingwan took Xu Ming's little hand and skipped to Zhixing Academy.

Zhixing Academy is actually not that far away, it is only one street away from Xu and Qin’s residences.

After arriving at the school, Qin Qingwan saw many children who were about her age.

Xu Ming also saw his half-brother, Xu Pangda.

Xu Pangda is still a little fat boy, with a sturdy figure at a young age.

What puzzled Xu Ming was that Xu Pangda came alone, without any maids or attendants by his side. He was carrying a small bookcase on his back and looked very lonely.

Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan walked into the study.

There are two desks for two people in the study, just like when Lan Haixing was in school.

"Brother Ming, here, here~~~"

Qin Qingwan pulled Xu Ming to sit in the last row, and then looked at everyone in front with shining eyes.

Xu Pangda also walked in.

Xu Pangda looked left and right, not knowing where to sit.

It seems like I don’t know anyone.

But soon, Xu Pangda discovered Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan in the last row, and walked over and sat on the seat to the right of Xu Ming.

More and more people are entering the school.

These people were dressed in rich clothes, and some of them were arrogant even at a young age, like little masters.

This is normal, after all, they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

But more people still sat in their seats obediently, some of them were socially anxious but looking around curiously.

Some of the community elites also started making friends in the class.

The whole school was very lively, just like a kindergarten.

Not long after, the school suddenly fell into silence, as if the turbulent sea had suddenly frozen.

A man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old walked into the school.

The middle-aged man was wearing a Confucian blue shirt and had an elegant and easy-going smile on his face.

"Hello, little kids." The man bowed to the little kids in the school and said, "From today on, I will be your teacher. My name is Xiao Mochi."

"this is my name."

Xiao Mochen took out a scroll from the relics. When the scroll was unfolded, snow-white cloth covered the wall. Xiao Mochen then took out a ruler from his sleeve. When the ruler slid across the white cloth, words appeared.

Similar to a blackboard and chalk, but a cultivation version.

"These are your books, please take good care of them." Xiao Mochen waved his hand, and books floated out from his sleeves and landed in front of everyone's desk.

Xu Ming looked at Xiao Mochi's sleeves. It was the first time he saw something similar to a storage ring in the world of immortal cultivation. It might also be the magic of "The World in the Sleeve".

There are six books in total, namely: "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of History" and "The Book of Rites".

Compared with Blue Star's Four Books and Five Classics, it lacks "Mencius", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn Annals".

Xu Ming opened the Analects and the Book of Songs and took a look. He found that many of the contents were very similar, and Xu Ming even felt a sense of familiarity.

It's like eating fried noodles from your hometown in a foreign country.

Looking at these books with nostalgia, another string of words popped up in Xu Ming's mind. [You read 2 words of "The Analects", and your noble spirit increased by +]

[You read 1 words from The Book of Songs, noble spirit +1, literary spirit +]

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then opened other books and read a hundred words from each.

[You have read 2 words of "The Doctrine of the Mean", your noble spirit +]

[You have read 1 words of "Book of Rites", your noble spirit +1, your temperament +]

【You read】

Each book provides Xu Ming with two attribute points. Some only increase the righteousness, while others, in addition to increasing the righteousness, also have other attributes, such as literary spirit and temperament.

"Please take out the Analects, which is this book. We will now start the class. First, everyone should read the first page with me.

Confucius said: "To learn and to practice what one has learned, is it not a pleasure? To have friends come from afar, is it not a pleasure? To be not angry when people do not know one, is it not a gentleman's behavior?"

Xiao Mochi's voice was like a spring breeze, calming the hearts of all the children, and they read along: "The Master said, 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what one has learned? Is it not a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Is it not a virtue to be not angry when others do not know you?'"

"First, let's get to know these words. 'Zi Yue' means 'Confucius said', and Confucius."

Xiao Mochen patiently explained the contents of the Analects to children aged five to seven.

To be honest, Xu Ming really didn't think such a young child could understand it. He would probably just understand it vaguely at best.

But it’s also true that in ancient times, there wasn’t such systematic teaching as Blue Star’s.

[You listened to Xiao Mochi's lecture for ten minutes, and your noble spirit increased by 5. ]

[You listened to Xiao Mochi's lecture for ten minutes, and your noble spirit increased by 5. ]

Every ten minutes, five points of Haoran Qi will be gained.

After a morning, with thirty minutes of rest followed by ten minutes of rest, plus the increased morale from reading, Xu Ming's energy level reached nearly a hundred points, but he did not feel any special changes in his body.

"Today's class ends here. Thank you for your hard work. You can review it on your own when you go back. I believe you will have a deeper understanding."

Hearing Mr. Xiao say that the get out of class was over, the classroom became lively again. Little kids ran out with their books on their backs, trying to relieve their brains that were tortured by knowledge.

"Let's go, get out of class is over."

Xu Ming pushed Qin Qingwan's shoulder beside him.

She had already slept for half an hour.

Mr. Xiao is also very gentle. He won't care even if students are sleeping.

"Hmm."

Qin Qingwan rubbed her eyes, put the books into her small bookcase, hugged Xu Ming's arm, and walked out with Xu Ming.

When Caidie saw Xu Ming being so affectionate with her young lady, her heart melted.

"Brother Ming~~~School is not fun~~~" Walking on the street, Qin Qingwan hugged Xu Ming's arm, with her chin resting on Xu Ming's shoulder, and said in a half-asleep state.

"School is really not that fun." Xu Ming wanted to rub Qin Qingwan's head, but with Caidie around, Xu Ming couldn't do it. "Qingwan doesn't like school?"

Qin Qingwan leaned on Xu Ming's shoulder and pouted: "I don't like it. Does Brother Ming like it?"

Xu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I guess I like it."

Qin Qingwan: "Then Qingwan also likes going to school."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Don't you dislike it?"

The girl's eyes were as wide as the Luo River: "I didn't like it just now, but Brother Ming said he liked it, so Qingwan will try to like it~"
