Weird, my gaming life

The lecture lasted almost five hours, and everyone in the audience was drowsy.

Lin Yuan finally understood why Tang Lingling didn't want to study. It was because the old teacher's lectures were too boring and tedious. If it weren't for the system panel's prompts and rewards, Lin Yuan himself might not have been able to persevere.

After all, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, not a top student or a genius who loved reading. Suddenly entering such a high-intensity learning environment, Lin Yuan was also a little overwhelmed.

However, every effort brings its reward. With two points of increased mental strength and a slight improvement in comprehension, Lin Yuan gained a great deal from this lesson.

The moment the words "get out of class is over" were heard, the previously lifeless classroom instantly came alive.

The children, who were on the verge of going crazy, rushed out of the church in a swarm, including Xiao Lingling, who had been dozing off.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly tidied up his textbooks and hurriedly followed. After all, besides the morning classes, there were also afternoon classes to study, and he didn't want Xiao Weiran to know that he was of no use following Xiao Lingling.

If Xiao Weiran finds out, then his chances of becoming a personal disciple will be slim.

Gradually, Xiao Lingling began to get impatient. The lunch break was only two hours long, and during that time, whether she went to eat or played with some of her girlfriends from the private school, Lin Yuan followed her at a distance.

This feeling of being watched made her quite uncomfortable. Even when she went to the toilet, Lin Yuan wouldn't leave, he just kept a little distance.

However, no matter how Xiao Lingling argued with Lin Yuan or shouted at him, Lin Yuan kept his head down and remained silent, which made her feel even more frustrated.

After a long day, Xiao Lingling was seething with anger, and as soon as she got home, she started complaining to Xiao Weiran.

After learning about Lin Yuan's performance, Xiao Weiran comforted Xiao Lingling, but his gaze towards Lin Yuan revealed satisfaction.

"Hehe, Lin Yuan! How was your lesson today?"

After comforting Xiao Lingling, Xiao Weiran casually asked...

"Master, I learned a lot today. The old master is very knowledgeable; he can make almost anything understandable after just one explanation!"

"Hmm! Not bad! Not bad, tell me what you learned today!"

"Yes! Today, I learned about two books: the 'Standards for Being a Good Student and Child' and the 'Huang Ting Jing.' The former explains some etiquette for respecting teachers and valuing the Way."

The latter explained important locations related to the five internal organs, six bowels, and meridians of the human body, as well as the ultimate pursuit of harmony between humanity and nature in Taoism...

Watching Lin Yuan speak eloquently, Xiao Weiran became increasingly satisfied. However, while he was satisfied, Xiao Lingling, who had been harboring resentment, was not.

"Father, are you even listening to me? I don't want him following me anymore! He's a complete psychopath! He follows me even to the bathroom! How am I supposed to face anyone after this?!"

Seeing his youngest daughter becoming restless again, Xiao Weiran felt helpless, but he was also reluctant to send Lin Yuan away like this.

He could tell that this disciple, although born into a farming family, was honest and had good talent.

At least on the first day of the private school, they were able to understand the true meaning of Taoism. You should know that although Qinghe Palace is a Jianghu sect, the essence of the skills they learn is closely related to Taoism.

This is why, apart from the *Di Zi Gui* (Standards for Being a Good Student and Child), which is not from Taoist classics, most of the other elementary knowledge taught in private schools is related to Taoist scriptures.

"Alright! Lingling, stop being so willful. You're twelve years old and still in your early education stage. Don't you think there's anything wrong with that? With your junior brother keeping an eye on you, I'm at ease!"

Hearing that her father not only disobeyed her but also praised that little pervert, Xiao Lingling instantly exploded.

"Father, you don't love me anymore! I hate you, Father! I'm going to find my senior brother!"

After saying that, Xiao Lingling ran out of Xiao Weiran's room crying.

Xiao Weiran wanted to stop her, but he was both angry and helpless as he watched Xiao Lingling run away.

He couldn't understand why his daughter, who had been so obedient and well-behaved when she was young, had become like this. He blamed himself for being too busy with sect affairs and not having time to spend with his daughter, which led to her becoming so spoiled.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiran felt a pang of guilt, which caused his earlier admiration for Lin Yuan's talent to vanish completely.

"Lin Yuan, go back! If Lingling really bothers you in the future, just stay away from her!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Yuan did not go forward to comfort him.

After spending the day together, he realized that Xiao Weiran's master wanted his daughter to succeed, but couldn't bring himself to be ruthless. Such a person would only end up pleasing neither side.

Moreover, this is not his daughter. Since Xiao Weiran is so indulgent towards his daughter, Lin Yuan is happy to be free. In the future, at the private school, Lin Yuan only needs to make a show of it and continue to do his own thing.

After all, he also has many things to do.

The day's learning was quite fruitful, giving him a four-point increase in mental strength. It was just a pity that he didn't receive any further guidance on comprehension in the afternoon.

After all, improving one's comprehension requires a strong sense of perception.

For example, when the old master was explaining the Huangting Jing in the afternoon, Lin Yuan felt as if he had a sudden realization, and it was at that moment that his comprehension increased by one.

It was only 7 p.m. when Lin Yuan left Xiao Weiran's room. He looked at the sky where a sliver of the setting sun still lingered and prepared to go home to practice the two martial arts manuals for strengthening one's constitution.

The hope is that by improving his mental strength by four points and his comprehension by one point, he can better understand the two secret manuals, Dragon Tiger Fist and Tiger Step.

Thinking about what he was going to do next, Lin Yuan felt a surge of excitement. He didn't know what benefits these two manuals would bring him.

Back home, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the two manuals and begin studying them. Unlike internal energy cultivation methods, Dragon Tiger Fist and Tiger Step were both external martial arts techniques.

The manual contains various movements and the paths of internal energy and techniques.

Looking at the books that resembled constantly rotating little figures, Lin Yuan quickly calmed down and began to mentally rehearse the related moves, occasionally practicing the actions to see if they were as he understood them.

Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard of Qinghe Palace, two figures sat facing each other in the night, with a chessboard on a stone table between them.

A young boy couldn't help but speak up as he watched the old man opposite him who hadn't made a move for a long time.

"Father, the previous plan has failed. Father, do you think we should continue?"

The old man slowly placed a piece on the board, speaking unhurriedly, "Why did you fail? Didn't you say that girl was already head over heels for you?"

The boy remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Father, it wasn't my fault. Someone tipped off that old man, and I also noticed that he's starting to be wary of me!"

"Oh...you're his disciple whom he's taught since childhood, and he just listens to other people's slander like that!"

A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes. "Find out who tipped him off!"

"I don't know yet, but that old man has taken on another disciple. In the past, I was the one who took my junior sister to school, but before that old man arranged for my second junior brother to take her. Now he's arranged for another little follower." The boy replied with a gloomy expression.

"So be it. They're just some petty people trying to climb the ranks. If one attempt doesn't work, we'll try again. I don't believe Xiao Weiran will be so lucky this time! The sect leader is seriously injured and on the verge of death. We must make that old man stand on my side, no matter what it takes!"

"Yes, Father, I will definitely not let you down this time!"

After speaking, a determined glint flashed in the boy's eyes. Although he felt somewhat ashamed of deceiving a twelve-year-old girl, he had no choice but to use any means necessary to obtain the position of Qinghe Palace Master.

Once his father becomes the leader, he will be the undisputed next sect leader.

Such a benefit is nothing more than sacrificing a spoiled young lady. It's a bargain. I'm sure my junior sister, who likes me so much, will understand his predicament!
