?

  Although Song initially looked very stable and mature, seeing two peers as master and apprentice still made it difficult for people to accept.

  Song Chuoyi also seemed to understand this point, so he said to Zhang Wuji, "You go back to the school first, I'll be there later."

  Song Chuoyi hastily bid farewell and left as soon as he stood up.

  Ji Meng immediately came over and curiously asked, "Huai Jin, what did you just whisper in his ear? Why did that rascal's attitude change suddenly?"

  The people in this house have never been teachers of the imperial court, but they have also spent a considerable amount of time in the mansion. Even when Qing asked them to recommend some learned scholars, none of them lasted more than a few days before resigning.

  But they were all curious about what Song Chu Er had said to Li Mo Yu, as his attitude towards her suddenly changed.

  "I said" Song Chu smiled brightly at Ji Mian "I'm best at playing, I'll teach him how to play later."

  Few people believed this, but although Cui Gu was arrogant and unruly, he was also an extremely intelligent child. He often looked down on his teachers for lacking real talent and learning, so how could he be lazy?

  "I'm telling you the truth!" Song Chuyi said with a sincere face.

  "Never mind, I won't ask anymore." Ji Mian whispered close to her ear, "I got a good wine today, why don't you come to my place tonight and we can have a small drink and play a game of Weiqi?"

  "Huh." Song Chu suddenly stopped smiling and said expressionlessly, "Forget it, I never speak the truth after drinking. You can give up on that idea now. If your wine wasn't so bad, I would actually quite like fine wine."

  The princess was pierced by someone, but she didn't feel ashamed or annoyed. She smiled and said, "What you said is also one of my purposes. Secondly, I really want to drink with Huai Jin."

  Song Chu approached him, staring at his eyes from a foot away.

  She only saw a pair of clear and bright eyes reflecting his face, and upon closer inspection, the skin on that face was not particularly pale, but it had a fine texture like warm jade. At such close proximity, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  "Hmm, quite sincere." Song Chu nodded and said "However, I have something to attend to tonight. Thank you, Wu Mei brother, for the invitation. Another day, when Hua Jin has acquired some fine wine, we will definitely not forget this gathering."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he got up and returned to his study.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he didn't plan to really take in Gou Ye, not wanting to be a fool. After all, judging from his appearance, it seemed quite absurd. The half-month appointment with him was just because she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and she would probably have to leave for Qin Guo in a few days, at which time everything would have to be put on hold.

  "That kid is really so unsteady." Song Chu muttered to himself as he walked.

  Returning to the academy, Yi Shi Kui was standing under the corridor, seeing Song Chu Yi coming back, smiled and said "I indeed didn't misjudge."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a helpless sigh said "The family is old and I am in charge of it!"

  Bu Wang is a fine horse, but all fine horses are spirited. Hua Jin got a good deal and still tries to cheat Old Wen! said Yi Shi Kui.

  Song Chu smiled and said, "As you said, sir. I'll invite you for a drink another day."

  "Then I'll just wait quietly?" Yi Shi Kui said, gesturing for her to go and wait in the study. With Song Chu's temperament, she might only be suitable as a teacher for Zhen Guo Wu Yan, Yi Shi Kui didn't dare to let her disturb other students.

  In the study, Mo Xi seemed to have just come back to his senses, unable to understand why he had been so respectful to someone who was of the same age as him. He felt a bit annoyed at his own lack of backbone, but when he thought about Song Chu's words again, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. What she said about "playing" really struck a chord in his heart, and he hoped that he could live so freely, no matter what the outcome was.

  He was thinking, when he saw Song Chuyi walking in, his heart was actually somewhat excited, and he really wanted to know what she would tell him.

  Forget it! Zhang Guo doesn't have a reckless heart, a great man can pick up and put down, since he met a satisfactory teacher, only caring about his face will lead to regret later, after all, the other person didn't think highly of him before.

  "I didn't mean to be rude to the teacher earlier, I'll apologize to her first." Kaito bowed deeply, planning to make a simple apology for now. If after half a month he still felt she was truly talented and knowledgeable, he would formally thank her.

  Song Chuoyi sat down on the opposite seat, but also didn't have the demeanor of a mentor, leaning back slightly and looking at him with a careless tone, saying "Hmm, quite strategic."

  One word, and he had seen through his thoughts. Mo Dao was taken aback, and couldn't help but raise his head, only to see Song Chu Yi smiling at him with a radiant smile.

  "Get up. I know, it's hard for you to accept a teacher of my age at first. In these fifteen days, you will measure whether I am qualified to be your teacher, and I will also see if I should take you as an apprentice. Our purposes are very clear, so let's skip the formalities." Song Chuoyi said, leaning directly on the table. "What books have you read before?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one was quite satisfied with the performance of the unpolished jade from the valley. Although he was impulsive and willful, he knew when to admit his mistakes, could be humble or proud as needed, and was intelligent. He was a fine but unpolished gem; if he could be taken on as an apprentice, it would be a good thing.

  "Poetry, Analects of Confucius, Guiguzi, Sunzi's Art of War, Hanfeizi, Laozi, Mozi......" Zhang Liang recited over a dozen books in one breath.

  Song Chu said with a raised head, "I've read quite a few, but can you understand them?"

  "We've gained nothing." said Mo Yan, hanging his head in disappointment.

  What Higuchi Ichiyo read was not some enlightenment books, but the theories and ideas of various schools. Browsing through many books is like swallowing a date whole, at least it can broaden one's horizons. However, for a young person to think that they can understand the essence of these theories just by reading them, it's probably very difficult, especially for someone as greedy as Higuchi Ichiyo.

  "Hmm." Song Chu nodded and said "It's also a good thing to take a look around before choosing a place to practice."

  A faint sourness in his heart, the usually stubborn and tenacious Song Chu suddenly felt a warmth in his eyes. "All my previous teachers said that being too greedy would lead to choking." Song Chu paused for a moment before saying seriously, "They have a point, after all, not everyone can understand our genius."

  He Yuye was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter "Teacher is really interesting."

  Song Chu smiled slightly and said with a playful tone, "You've read various theories, which one do you like the most?"

  Mo Dao's expression was slightly solemn as he replied, "As a military strategist, when I was young, I once left home to visit Guigu Valley, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find it and was caught by my grandfather."

  The military family, often discusses the way of using troops, saying it's not difficult or easy. Even if you just read their theories, you can understand the general idea. Zhang Guo, as the eldest grandson of Zhang Guo, must have been exposed to military affairs from a young age. Combining this with his studies, discussing military strategy on paper should be no problem for him. However, he says that he has gained nothing, showing that he has high expectations for himself. But although it's easy to say, it's actually extremely difficult. Military affairs are ever-changing and unpredictable. Even if you understand all the theories, when it comes to actual combat, you may not necessarily be able to come up with a winning strategy.

  Zhuo Gou felt a little regret in his heart. Why did he encounter an interesting teacher, but it was a Taoist instead of a martial artist?

  He remembered that Song Chu Yi had once said "Those who study the Tao, are not necessarily those who understand the Tao". He then held onto a thread of hope and asked, "Teacher, do you understand military strategy?"

  "Guess." Song Chuoyi slightly raised an eyebrow.
