My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"I almost forgot about the lecture!"

When Master Song heard Lin Qinrou's reminder from outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted his forehead.

He was so shocked by Jiang Xiaobai's surgical technique that he almost forgot the time of his lecture.

Just as Master Song was about to say something to the door, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly spoke first.

"Master, please... keep my teachings a secret."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Master Song was visibly taken aback.

The gaze that had been raised returned to Jiang Xiaobai.

Those slightly aged eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.

Yes.

He didn't understand.

You should know that the divination techniques Jiang Xiaobai just used were by no means trivial tricks.

That's something that could overturn the entire field of mathematical calculation!

Once this gets out, it will shake not only the Imperial Academy, but the entire Great Hua Dynasty.

Such methods and skills would make anyone else eager to spread the word and become famous.

But now... Jiang Xiaobai actually wants him to help cover it up?

How could this not surprise him?

Thinking of this, Master Song looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Do you know what those things will mean once they get out?"

"Know."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, his expression calm: "As for why I did this, the Master should understand by tomorrow morning court."

"so……"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Master Song, his tone becoming more serious: "Please, Master, keep this a secret for me this time."

As these words fell, Master Song stood there, his brows furrowing slightly.

obviously.

He still couldn't figure it out.

But he could also tell that Jiang Xiaobai was not joking at the moment, and in the end, Master Song sighed softly.

"Fine, since you put it that way, I'll keep it a secret for you for now."

"Thank you, Master."

Jiang Xiaobai immediately smiled.

Master Song shook his head, then turned his gaze toward the door and said, "Qinrou, come in and talk!"

As Master Song finished speaking.

The door was soon gently pushed open from the outside.

The next moment, a slender, aloof figure slowly walked in.

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Qinrou.

At this moment, Lin Qinrou still had a cold and aloof expression, and her whole demeanor still exuded a sense of detachment that kept people at a distance.

only.

When she actually entered the room and saw who was standing inside, her originally indifferent eyes visibly flickered.

Yes.

She clearly hadn't expected Jiang Xiaobai and Li Zhiwei to be here.

And of course, there's that guard too!

However, Lin Qinrou was no ordinary woman after all.

Soon, the expression on her face returned to its previous calm and serene state.

Jiang Xiaobai's gaze had been fixed on her ever since she entered the room.

to be frank.

He originally thought that Lin Qinrou's first reaction upon seeing him here would be to tell him everything that had happened before.

To his surprise, Lin Qinrou didn't mention anything.

This surprised Jiang Xiaobai somewhat.

At this moment, Master Song looked at Lin Qinrou and said, "Qinrou, you've come at the right time, and you're also acquainted with Zhiwei."

"In that case, you should stay here and chat with them for a while longer."

"I...I'll go teach first."

As he said this, Master Song glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

Yes.

He wanted Jiang Xiaobai to stay as much as possible.

After all, the divination he had just witnessed seemed to have opened a door to a new world for him.

When he returned after finishing his lecture, he naturally wanted to have another good chat with Jiang Xiaobai.

Lin Qinrou was unaware of the specific reasons, so she was clearly taken aback when she heard Master Song's arrangement.

"Master, there's no need for me..."

Before Lin Qinrou could finish speaking, Master Song waved his hand, interrupting her directly: "No need this time, you can entertain them well for me."

As Master Song finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Master, please wait a moment!"

"Is there anything else?"

Master Song paused in his steps.

"That's how it is..."

Lin Qinrou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your teaching disk... was accidentally broken."

"Right now, I'm afraid... we won't be able to use it for the time being."

As she spoke, Lin Qinrou's tone became noticeably softer than before.

Yes.

She knew very well how important that magic disc was to Master Song.

It's no exaggeration to say that Master Song used it almost every time he taught.

Moreover, that thing is not easy to make; it requires the work of many skilled craftsmen.

It can be said that the magic board was a teaching tool that Master Song valued highly.

Therefore, even Lin Qinrou herself seemed somewhat cautious when this matter was brought up at this moment.

as predicted.

Upon hearing that it had shattered, Master Song's previously calm expression immediately darkened slightly.

"It's broken?"

Master Song's slightly aged voice clearly carried a hint of suppressed anger: "How did that magic plate break when it was perfectly fine?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room subtly changed.

Lin Qinrou stood there, just about to say something, when Jiang Xiaobai spoke first.

"Ahem, Master, I broke it by accident."

Upon hearing this simple sentence, Lin Qinrou was momentarily stunned.

Those clear, cold eyes couldn't help but look towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Yes, she hadn't expected Jiang Xiaobai to be so candid.

Because her original plan was to temporarily take the responsibility upon herself.

Of course, this wasn't because she genuinely wanted to help Jiang Xiaobai out of a predicament.

It was because of Li Zhiwei.

After all, she still didn't understand the situation between the two of them.

But now that Jiang Xiaobai has taken the initiative to admit it, it has surprised her somewhat.

Just as Lin Qinrou was thinking this, Master Song was also visibly stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and paused for a moment before saying, "It's you. In that case... then let it shatter."

After uttering those words, Master Song didn't even ask any further questions and simply turned and walked outside.

His demeanor was so calm, as if he had just heard that something important had been destroyed, but rather that an ordinary teacup had been overturned.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Especially Lin Qinrou.

She stood there, looking at Master Song who was about to leave, clearly somewhat dazed.

Is that... all there is to it?

For a moment, even Lin Qinrou's usually cool and calm expression showed a rare hint of undisguised astonishment...

This is quite different from the usual Master Song!

Are they wary of Jiang Xiaobai's family background?

But this shouldn't be happening!
