After Bai Wei finished reciting the poem, the entire Spring Banquet venue was as quiet as if frozen, without a single sound, until a man sitting in the lower seat stood up and clapped excitedly: "Excellent, really wonderful!"

The man was wearing a dark green gown, looked to be in his forties, tall and thin, with a goat-like beard, and holding a feather fan in his hand.

As he spoke, the fan swayed up and down, revealing his mood at the moment.

The one who stood up was not someone else, but Xue Caiwen, the teacher who taught Bai Lian and the well-known No. 1 scholar in Dongqin. In Dongqin, no one could claim to be better than him in terms of talent and learning. Now that he has come out to praise these poems, it goes without saying how good these poems are.

Xue Caiwen's face flushed with excitement: "General Bai, did you write all these poems?"

Bai Wei nodded slightly: "Bai Wei does not dare to take credit for it. These poems were all obtained by Bai Wei by chance under the guidance of her former teacher. They are all in my mind. Today I just casually wrote them down."

Dongqin didn't have the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, so she could have said that all these poems were her own, but it always felt disrespectful to those great poets. She had been learning their poems since the ninth grade of compulsory education, so it was only right for her to respectfully address them as "sir".

Xue Caiwen didn't feel bad when he heard this. Instead, he admired Bai Wei even more. "She never forgot her teacher's kindness. She is a good child who knows how to be grateful. Even her apprentice is so outstanding. I guess her master must be a scholar with a wealth of knowledge. I wonder if I can have a chance to discuss with him and improve my knowledge."

Bai Wei nodded slightly and lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue, my husband has passed away a long time ago."

What she said was all true. Everyone's life is limited, but they have left a strong mark in the long river of 5,000 years of history with their poems and essays, just like the stars in the night sky, always shining brightly.

When Xue Caiwen heard this, he was slightly stunned and was obviously shocked.

The next second, he began to beat his chest and stamp his feet, looking unwilling to lose his position: "The heaven is blind, the heaven is blind, to let such a learned person leave this world so easily, to leave Dong Qin, this is the misfortune of the world, the misfortune of Dong Qin!"

After a long howl to the sky, he finally calmed down and took out a wooden sign from his arms. On the sign was written "Tianhe Academy": "General Bai, you are a brilliant writer and have a heart for the country. If you have time, you may come to my Tianhe Academy. As long as you have this sign, you can come and go freely in Tianhe Academy. Then I will definitely treat you as a VIP guest!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

What is Tianhe Academy? It is the most powerful school in Dongqin. Many officials in the capital are looking forward to sending their children to Tianhe Academy. Unfortunately, Tianhe Academy only recruits a very small number of students every year, and they are all admitted on a merit basis, so the students there are the best scholars in the entire Dongqin.

With so many young talents, many people wanted to curry favor with them, but Mr. Xue was very strict and would not allow anyone else in except students and teachers.

Now he said that he would entertain Bai Wei at Tianhe Academy and gave Bai Wei a sign that allowed her to move freely in Tianhe Academy. That was definitely the best expression of his appreciation for Bai Wei!

As soon as Mr. Xue finished speaking, Bai Wei heard the voice of the mentally retarded system: "Congratulations to the host for gaining the appreciation of Xue Caiwen, the first great scholar of Dongqin. You have regained 2% of your luck value, and the remaining luck value is 92%. Please continue to work hard, victory is just around the corner!"

Bai Wei's memory of the original owner did not contain any information about Xue Caiwen, nor did she have any knowledge of Tianhe Academy, but these did not hinder her from being surprised at the moment.

I didn't expect that Xue Caiwen's appreciation is worth two percentage points of luck. It seems that I didn't recite enough poems just now. If I recite another seven or eight, I don't know if this appreciation can turn into admiration, and whether the luck value will increase by two more points.

But she has always been contented. Even though she was ecstatic, her veil covered the corners of her mouth. She took the wooden sign from Xue Caiwen with both hands and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Xue, for your kindness."

Bai Lian looked at the scene in front of him, his face distorted with anger, and his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves.

How can this be?

Why, why did she change so much, but the result was the same as in the previous life?

Mr. Xue actually gave Bai Wei the wooden sign representing "Tianhe Academy". It was clearly her who saved his life in this life! Moreover, she also successfully became his apprentice.

Why did he give the wooden sign to Bai Wei again, and even gave it earlier than planned!

In his previous life, he gave the wooden plaque to Bai Wei after she became pregnant, saying that it was for her unborn child, hoping that he would be as talented and virtuous as the star of literature who had descended to earth.

But now... I gave it to her at this time!

"Master, I am your last disciple. How could you give the token of Tianhe Academy to her? Shouldn't you give it to me?"

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Bai Lian stepped forward and said.

Xue Caiwen frowned subconsciously when he saw Bai Lian coming out. He pondered for a moment and said, "Lian'er, you have to understand that I taught you only because you saved my life. But you are neither smart nor hardworking. Out of gratitude, I will help you if I can. But don't call yourself my disciple in the future."

He sincerely thanked Bai Lian for saving his life. When Bai Lian said she wanted to become his disciple, he thought she was truly eager to learn and agreed.

But after he accepted her, she seemed to have changed. She was always busy with teachings and discussions. She could not finish the books he arranged for her to read independently, and even had to ask others to copy them for her. Most of the time, she was always following King Qi around, putting aside the learning method he customized for her.

Because of this, he couldn't even arrange for her to enter Tianhe Academy. He could only go to the mansion to give her lectures every three days as she had originally said.

He really didn't understand why this kind of lecture, which was a torture for both parties, had to continue: "If you still want to continue learning, I will continue to teach you, but please don't call yourself Xue's student."

The meaning is simple and clear: Don’t say that I am your teacher, I can’t afford to be embarrassed by that person!

As soon as these words came out, Bai Lian froze in place, his face paler than a newly buried corpse: "Master, I am not questioning your choice. I just think that my elder sister has a strong personality and is unrestrained. I am afraid that if you give the token of Tianhe Academy to my elder sister, she will use the token to do something detrimental to Tianhe Academy. I am also doing this for your own good and that of Tianhe Academy!"

It was because of Xue Caiwen's master that the students treated her with courtesy and took extra care of her. But if Xue Caiwen severed ties with her today and still spoke of her like this, how would the students view her in the future, and how would the dignitaries who came to the banquet today view her?

So she didn't want to lose this backer, and couldn't lose this backer, and she looked pitiful again.

When Xue Caiwen heard this, he frowned and sighed: "A villain's heart is judging a gentleman's belly. This child is unteachable!"

In the past, he only thought that she had no desire to study, and today he feels that her character is also terrible. He really doesn't know what kind of thinking she had in saving her. He must repay this kindness as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Bai Lian standing on the platform in shock, completely confused as to why everything was different from what he had planned.
