Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

This unexpected benefit caught Liu Yong off guard. He quickly bowed deeply to Lin Ping several times. He was not a dull person and naturally understood the meaning of the cat's meow.

Li Mingxuan glanced at Liu Yong, thinking to himself: When will I ever get this kind of benefit?

Lin Ping seemed to understand his inner thoughts, glared at him angrily, and replied: You should take a piss and look in the mirror. If you had even a tenth of Liu Yong's talent, you wouldn't still be a virgin.

Regardless, Li Mingxuan had to obey Lin Ping's orders. He resentfully led Liu Yong into Chongniang's room, his eyes and ears pressed against the window... a case of embezzlement.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Liu Yong had tidied his clothes again, but his face was somewhat pale.

"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn! That's three times the time the son-in-law earns!"

Li Mingxuan was deeply impressed, mistakenly believing that Lin Ping's time was normal, while Liu Yong's was exceptionally long.

Not long after, Liu Yong returned to pay his respects to his mentor, his expression even more respectful.

Seeing Liu Yong's listless state, Lin Ping had a general idea of ​​what was going on and said in a serious tone, "Good disciple, you will stay in the City Lord's Mansion from now on!"

It is perfectly normal for a student to stay overnight at his teacher's residence, so that the teacher can devote all his efforts to tutoring him. From this point of view, it is clear that Lin Ping intended to teach Liu Yong very well.

Normally, a student would not refuse his teacher's kind invitation. Moreover, Liu Yong also hoped to stay in the city lord's mansion, not only for teaching and answering questions, but also to be close to Chongniang.

So Liu Yong knelt down on both knees, prostrating himself on the ground, and said with tears of gratitude, "Student Liu Yong thanks his teacher!"

"Oh? Then tell me, what's the purpose of this thanks? Is it to learn knowledge or to..." Lin Ping deliberately left his sentence unfinished and gave the other party a meaningful look.

Liu Yong broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't very well say it was so he could be with Chongniang day and night, so he said seriously, "Naturally, it's because I can receive my master's careful instruction every day!"

Lin Ping nodded in satisfaction and continued, "That's very good. From now on, I will supervise your studies every day. To show my encouragement, you will be able to meet with Insect Girl every time you write a decent poem."

"Write a poem and we'll meet?" Liu Yong's face immediately fell. He had thought he would be eating and sleeping with Chongniang, but Lin Ping had added a condition.

Moreover, this fellow is very picky about poetry, and anything not of high quality will never catch Lin Ping's eye. So even if Liu Yong was a man of great talent and overflowing with literary inspiration, it would be impossible for him to meet him every day.

This is really...heartbreaking. He hears the zither music of the Insect Maiden every day, but he can't see her. Lin Ping is clearly deliberately making things difficult for Liu Yong.

Lin Ping's insistence on taking Liu Yong as his apprentice was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it a deliberate attempt to make things difficult. It was purely to encourage him to create some timeless poems and lyrics, thus contributing to the cultural development of ancient times.

"I imagine you're extremely unwilling. How about this, you and your teacher have a contest. Whoever can write a decent poem can sleep with the Insect Girl for one night, how about that?" Lin Ping said with a sly smile, making no attempt to hide his intentions, and even began reciting the poem, "The cicadas chirp sadly, as evening falls on the long pavilion..."

Liu Yong's face turned pale. He couldn't understand Lin Ping's thought process. How could a mentor openly steal a woman from his apprentice? Doesn't Lin Ping know how to be ashamed?

What's even more puzzling is that this fellow speaks eloquently, so this poem, "Rainy Night Bells," must be quite extraordinary.

"This student is unworthy and dares not compete with my esteemed teacher. From this day forward, I will certainly work hard to create and strive to satisfy my teacher," Liu Yong hurriedly replied, afraid that Lin Ping would finish the poem "Rainy Night Bell" and then pat his behind and rush into the Insect Girl's room.

Furthermore, after Lin Ping's guidance, Liu Yong had already thought of most of "Yu Lin Ling" in his mind. He was confident that he could pass the test with this and thus get the opportunity to meet Chong Niang again.

"Hmm... You're teachable." Lin Ping smacked his lips and nodded in satisfaction, then said seriously, "It seems you're putting in a lot of effort. That way, I won't win so easily every time."

What does that mean? It probably means that I, Lin Ping, am going to compete with you and go to the Insect Girl's room!

Liu Yong was so angry that he trembled all over, thinking to himself: How could there be such a shameless mentor in the world?

In order not to give Lin Ping any opportunity, Liu Yong hurriedly went to the room that Lin Ping had arranged for him, picked up a brush and began to write calligraphy in a flamboyant style, naturally becoming so engrossed that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Liu Yong thought that as long as he always had a good poem in his hand, Lin Ping would not have any opportunity to take advantage of him. As soon as the scoundrel opened his mouth, Liu Yong would reveal the poem he had prepared in advance.

Seeing Liu Yong's diligence, Lin Ping nodded in satisfaction and sighed, "To contribute to classical culture, I, Lin Ping, have gone to great lengths, even saying things like 'stealing a woman from my apprentice'..."

"Little Li, is the Insect Maiden's voice really as beautiful as you say?" Lin Ping suddenly asked, seemingly regretting not reciting the entire "Rainy Night Bell" earlier.

"Absolutely true, and with a powerful aftereffect!" Li Mingxuan patted his chest with absolute certainty, then glanced at Lin Ping and smiled mysteriously, "I'm afraid the young master won't be able to unleash the full potential of the Insect Maiden..."

puff……

Lin Ping, who was full of enthusiasm, was instantly ruined. He glared at Li Mingxuan through gritted teeth, and landed a flying kick on the other's buttocks. He said sternly, "You dog! Which ear of yours heard that the son-in-law is no good? You'd better keep your ears perked up outside the door tonight. If you dare to leave halfway, I guarantee I'll break your third leg!"

Whenever Lin Ping made a harsh statement, Li Mingxuan would turn pale with fright. But this time he was not afraid. He did not believe that Lin Ping's strength could improve so rapidly in just a few days, unless... he was on drugs!

It was nearly evening when Li Mingxuan left. Lin Ping pondered for a long time and suddenly realized that no matter how good the doll was, it would never cry. If he wanted to prove his strength, he first needed to find a woman. As for whether or not to take the medicine, that was a matter for later.

There are roughly four targets in front of Lin Ping: the first is his wife, whom he could try if he wanted to die.

Secondly, there's Chongniang. Lin Ping could easily recite a few of Li Bai's poems in front of Liu Yong and make him admit defeat, but he's afraid he doesn't have the strength to let Liu Yong unleash his full potential. Besides, he doesn't really want to compete with Liu Yong for a woman.

Thirdly, Wang Xiao'e, who had been prepared for this, was afraid of ruining the other party's reputation.

"Lin Ping, you really have the desire but not the courage!" Lin Ping severely despised himself and could only place his hopes on Xiao Hui.

This little girl is obedient and has mastered the skill of fake moaning. When the time comes, Lin Ping only needs to lie down on the bed and let her do whatever she wants for as long as she wants. It will definitely make that kid Li Mingxuan uncomfortable and run away early!
