Chapter 143 Visit Master Zhou
Qin Lie and Tianci also agree, and nod, but Qin Shuang is now determined to try and study Confucianism and place Confucianism as her top priority.
Qin Shuang’s thinking is very simple. Even if she cannot combine Confucianism and spirit patterns in one place in the future, it may have an effect on martial arts. Although martial arts and Confucianism have been in contention, as incompatible as water and fire. However Qin Shuang doesn’t think so, in her previous life she was able to practice to the late peak of the Martial God realm, proving her extraordinary insight. This life in Tianqin town she studied for a period of time, although only enlightenment, she did not study Confucianism, but Qin Shuang has a faint feeling.
One thousand rivers return to the same origin!
With this way of thinking in mind, Qin Shuang will not despise Confucianism, and in her heart there is a hint of excitement and passion to study this new world.
Seeing Qin Shuang’s firm look, Qin Lie, Lan Ming Yue, and Tianci no longer advise her. Everyone has their own road that they want to walk, these people’s eyes are not unusually high, naturally they will not be narrow minded, thinking that their own views are right, for Qin Shuang’s sake, rigidly blocking her way.
This time they did not talk from dawn till dusk, considering that Qin Shuang has participated in the Spirit Pattern Competition and is very tired, but also prepared to visit Master Zhou, all three people left at midnight.
After they left, Qin Shuang opens the “Confucianism” novel and reads it carefully. After reading a dozen pages, she felt that she could understand the surface meaning of the words, but the heavenly philosophy contained beneath the surface meaning, Qin Shuang is still very unclear.
In the end, she put down Confucianism, and then she went to sleep.
She slept until the noon the next day. Qin Yunxia woke her up. It turns out that Qin Lie, Lan Ming Yue, and Tianci came to visit. Qin Shuang hurriedly washes up, changes her clothes, then comes out. When she arrives, she sees Tianci asking Qin Lie and Lan Ming Yue about martial arts. And Qin Lie and Lan Ming Yue are also carefully guiding him. Seeing Qin Shuang walk over, Qin Lie stands up and says:
“Shuang’er, I’m leaving today.”
Qin Shuang looks surprised, “So quickly? Are you going back to the Imperial Capital?”
“Yes!” Qin Lie shakes his head and says, “I can’t leave the Imperial Capital for too long.”
This time, Lan Ming Yue stands up and says: “Shuang’er, today I will also leave.”
“And you’re going back to the Imperial Capital, too?”
“No!” Lan Ming Yue shakes his head and says, “I’m going to travel around, and maybe I’ll go see the Frost Empire.”
Qin Shuang nods, with a smile on her face: “Go. Fulfill your journey.”
The next morning.
Qin Shuang wakes up very early, after washing, she eats breakfast under Qin Yunxia’s service and then checks her clothing, then she goes to Master Zhou’s residence.
Arriving at Zhou Haoran’s residence. Qin Shuang steps down from the carriage, waving her hand, the carriage departs from the door of Master Zhou’s residence, even Qin Yunxia leaves with the carriage, outside the door only Qin Shuang remains.
There is no doorman in front of the gate, the door is closed. Qin Shuang steps forward and grabs the knocker with one hand and knocks it gently three times.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the door, the door “squeak” opens. Zhou Haoran’s body shape now appears in the doorway, seeing Qin Shuang he is surprised. He didn’t think that she would really come to see him. His eyes flash with a little cynicism, and in his mind he secretly thinks:
“She’s got a mind for the throne, too?”
“Seeing Master Zhou!” Qin Shuang respectfully greets him.
Seeing Qin Shuang still wearing a moon white Confucian robe, Zhou Haoran slightly frowns, turns arounds and faintly says:
“Come in!”
“Yes!”
Qin Shuang quietly responds, then steps into the door, closes it behind her, and follows behind Zhou Haoran.
Its extremely quiet all around, two people one in front and one behind, walking along the bluestone road toward the the main room, on both sides are plants of evergreen and pine cypress, their leaves rustle in the wind.
Soon, the two enter the main room. Under Zhou Haoran’s signal, Qin Shuang sits down. Looking at Zhou Haoran, her intention is already clear to Zhou Haoran. So Qin Shuang doesn’t speak, just waiting for Zhou Haoran. Zhou Haoran ponders for a moment, staring at her:
“Seventh Princess, do you really want to learn Confucianism?”
“Yes, and I ask Master Zhou to please help me accomplish this!” Qin Shuang slightly bows.
“Even if I don’t accept you as a disciple, you’ll still learn?”
“Yes! Of course.” said Qin Shuang calmly. “The Master is willing to accept Qin Shuang as a disciple, its hard to ask for.”
In Master Zhou’s eyes appear a faint hint of ridicule: “The old man will not accept you as a disciple.”
Qin Shuang calmly nods: “Qin Shuang understands.”
Looking at the calm look of Qin Shuang, Zhou Haoran’s expression is shocked. Several of Qin Shuang’s brothers and sisters have bothered him and want to worship him as a Master. Even if he refuses many times, they never give up, and they constantly invite people to persuade him. But Qin Shuang doesn’t seem to care about whether she becomes his disciple or not.
Didn’t she want to worship him as a Master? Or is it that there is no heart for the throne, just thinking about learning Confucianism?
Don’t be deceived by her appearance, perhaps this is her cunning plan in order to win my favor. Her ultimate goal is to allow me to take the initiative and accept her as a disciple.
Thinking here, his look became even more cold: “You want the old man to teach you Confucianism, your foundation is inadequate. Lets do this, I can introduce you to the Lu Cheng Confucian Academy, if you can graduate from there, I will personally teach you myself, hows that?”
Qin Shuang tries to recall the Confucian Academy in Crescent Moon Kingdom, slowly she has some impression. The largest Confucian Academy in Crescent Moon Kingdom is not in Wangdu, Crescent Moon City, but in the magnificent and prosperous city of Lu Cheng. There is a gathering of excellent scholars from the whole Crescent Moon Kingdom there. Only two kinds of people can enter the Confucian Academy, one are the royal disciples like Qin Shuang, otherwise even noble disciples of the kingdom cannot enter. The second type is a talented person who has already acquired scholarly honor and fame.
When you take the exam, even if you graduate, you have to leave the Confucian Academy. Is it possible to stay in the Confucian Academy without passing the exam?
For this, Qin Shuang is not very clear. Thinking of it, she softly asks:
“Can Master Zhou please introduce the Confucian Academy to Qin Shuang?”
Hearing Qin Shuang ask, Zhou Haoran’s heart is shocked once again. Originally he thought that Qin Shuang would reject his proposal, and again implore him to teach her Confucianism, and finally with his repeated refusal, she would excuse herself and go back to consider, leaving, she would never go to Lu Cheng Confucian Academy.
However, he did not think that Qin Shuang not only did not pester him again, but instead ask him about Lu Cheng Confucian Academy.
Is it true that the Seventh Princess just wants to learn Confucianism?
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!🥳🎄🎁🎄
