"Just as I have shown my ability in poetry, it's your turn to show that you can teach well.
"How about you try and teach Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin about multiplication and division?"
Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Liu Shi Shi and said.
When Xue Cong and Yue Xin heard what Lin Xuan Qi had said, they glanced at each other with a frown.
If this was what Master Lin thinks about when he feels that it's a happy occasion, it might be best for them to avoid him when he does so in the future.
They thought silently to themselves.
But first...
After what Liu Shi Shi did earlier, Xue Cong and Yue Xin weren't that keen to help Liu Shi Shi.
And for them, they couldn't help it if they wanted to.
Dealing with numbers just wasn't their forte.
Liu Shi Shi on the other hand, felt confident that she could do it and said, "Fine, watch me."
She had been teaching in schools set up by rich merchants for a few years, Liu Shi Shi figured that it shouldn't be difficult for her.
After they moved to the main hall with paper and brush set up, Liu Shi Shi began to give her lecture on multiplication.
Out of the three, only Yue Jie was doing well.
And as Liu Shi Shi spoke, Xue Cong felt that she was speaking a foreign language.
Somehow, Liu Shi Shi's voice had become hypnotic, making her eyelids heavy.
Yue Xin wasn't doing any better, she had a basic grasp of the concept, but everything went out of the window when Liu Shi Shi talked about division.
She wished desperately for it to end, and she glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi was sipping on his tea and looking at the scene in front of him.
He could see Liu Shi Shi clench her fist when Xue Cong got the answer wrong for the fifth time.
"Xue Cong, maybe I can try and put it in another way for you to understand..." Liu Shi Shi didn't give up after taking a long deep breath to calm herself.
"I... ah..." Xue Cong wasn't confident that she would be able to learn and understand it, so she glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.
She didn't know why but she felt that Lin Xuan Qi was someone that she could depend on.
And she was right as she saw Lin Xuan Qi stand up.
"Thanks, Shi Shi.
"You've done well and they've tried their best.
"Xue Cong had only started learning to write.
"And Yue Xin is still young and playful.
"Let me think of something for them so that they can learn it with ease." Lin Xuan Qi said.
He was thinking about coming up with the learning materials when he had time.
It wouldn't be too difficult for him to ahem copy and paste the learning materials from where he came from.
"The teaching method I use has been passed down from ages.
"I think you might have a hard time doing better."
Liu Shi Shi wasn't very convinced that Lin Xuan Qi could do better.
But Lin Xuan Qi was confident and he said, "Don't worry too much. I have my own ways. It's late now, best for everyone to go to bed."
"Yes, Master Lin." Xue Cong and Yue Xin opened their eyes wide with joy when they heard him.
They quickly stood up and tidied up the place, fearing that Lin Xuan Qi might change his mind.
Liu Shi Shi and Lee He Song bowed at Lin Xuan Qi and left the main hall.
"So, how do you think about Master Lin?" Lee He Song asked when they walked in the corridor towards their room.
"Master Lin? I think that he is, interesting." Liu Shi Shi said as she recalled the day.
Lin Xuan Qi's ability in poetry was the best she had seen in a very long time.
And how he treated the servant girls was also the first she had seen among the young masters in Hong Feng City.
Lastly, who wouldn't relish in being provided for, while she tried to find the mysterious killer that destroyed her family.
Lee He Song nodded at Liu Shi Shi's response.
"Master Lin is keen in Martial Arts and Cultivation, you can teach him when you have time." He said and bid Liu Shi Shi good night.
Liu Shi Shi raised one of her eyebrows at the information.
It might be a great chance for her to show Lin Xuan Qi what she was made of.
She was eager to overturn her failure earlier in teaching Xue Cong and Yue Xin.
...
When Lin Xuan Qi soaked in the warm water Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin had prepared, he recalled something.
He thought silently in his mind and summoned the information panel of the system.
[Ding!]
[Clan Prosperity System.]
[Current Status: 5 personnel in the clan.]
[Daily Rice Delivery: 50KG.]
[Choose person in mansion to see summary of their day:]
[1. Xue Cong.]
[2. Yue Jie.]
[3. Yue Xin.]
[4. Lee He Song.]
[5. Liu Shi Shi.]
He didn't know what it meant by 'summary of their day' so Lin Xuan Qi didn't think much about it and thought "Xue Cong" silently in his mind.
More information appeared in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Summary of Xue Cong's day.]
[Xue Cong thought about you for more than 20 times today.]
[She thought about you when she was working and resting.]
[Occasionally, she would think about her family and especially her younger brother, Ah Di.]
[She also stared at you several times when she had to learn multiplication and division.]
[Loyalty: 80]
[Affection: 80]
[Respect: 90]
[Gratitude: 99]
Lin Xuan Qi was pleasantly surprised with the summary feature.
It was more useful than he had thought.
With stats like loyalty, he could know who was at risk of betraying him.
And he noted the point where Xue Cong was thinking about her family, this was something he had overlooked.
But what was it with Xue Cong thinking about him and the affection point.
His mind began to wander off under the relaxing hot steam from the warm water.
