The plum blossom courtyard in the Shen family mansion was custom-built according to Shen Li's preferences. Surrounded by plum blossoms, there is a small martial arts training ground. Around the training ground, there are eighteen kinds of weapons. The killing intent emanating from these weapons makes the temperature in this courtyard several degrees lower than outside.

However, after entering the study, Jia Daoshi felt a certain gentleness and refinement.

It's clear that this Prince of Zhenbei, besides practicing martial arts, also reads books.

On both the east and west walls, there are antique-style bookshelves, and on the table, there are also writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. You can still smell a trace of ink.

There are two desks, one large and one small. It seems that this place is the "classroom" that Xia Wanlian prepared for Shen Li.

However, at this moment, only Jia Daoshi was in the classroom.

As for the dignified Prince Zhenbei, he was still in the martial arts arena, holding two large purple-gold hammers, tossing them up and down.

"Hey Rouya, even though I'm not weak, I couldn't break free when that guy grabbed my hand. Isn't that infuriating!" Shen Li's expression still carried a hint of resentment.

"Your Highness, this guy is a bit strange. He can see through the Qimen Dunjia techniques in our courtyard, he's incredibly strong, and he can even compose poems on the spot! Do you think this guy might be a spy for the Longwu Dynasty?" Rouya whispered.

"It can't be that bad. I know this guy's background." Shen Li shook her head. "He's from the Jinshi Sect. It's normal for people from that sect to have some skills."

"It's actually the legendary Jinshi Sect!" Rouya exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder, Your Highness, look at that kid, I wonder what he's doing in there now."

"Let him do whatever he wants, just don't force me to read those pretentious literary things." Shen Li shook her head.

"Your Highness, although that's true, isn't it a bit too easy for him to earn this money?" Rouya rolled her eyes. "I think we should hit him with this hammer again and make him give up."

“Isn’t this exactly what he wants?” Shen Li shook her head again. “Anyway, he’s already received his monthly salary. If we continue to target him, he can take the opportunity to leave, and we won’t be able to get the money back!”

"Then let's not take the money!"

"No way! I've never suffered such a loss before. Although he's from the Jinshi Sect, this isn't Xuanhua. He thinks he can just easily take our money? Dream on!"

"We can't fight them, and we can't chase them away, Your Highness. What should we do?"

"Hmm... Go and call Master here!"

"Summon Master?"

"Correct!"

"Okay! Rouya will go right away."

After receiving Shen Li's order, Rouya immediately got up and walked out of the courtyard.

Shen Li walked calmly toward the study, her hands behind her back.

After entering the hall, he didn't say anything, but just sat quietly at his desk.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi was doing something, holding a pen and writing incessantly.

Shen Li looked on with curiosity, wanting to crane her neck to take a look, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Not long after, Xia Wanlian came over, accompanied by Rouya.

Although this woman was quite old, she possessed a graceful and noble demeanor, and her steps were light and powerful, clearly indicating that she was a skilled fighter.

"Master, how well has my apprentice learned today?"

Xia Wanlian walked to the door and saw Jia Daoshi writing at his desk, so she smiled and asked.

Shen Li perked up, just about to say that this guy came here and did nothing, and didn't teach her anything, but before she could finish speaking, Jia Daoshi's voice rang out!

"Madam, Miss Xia is intelligent and talented, with exceptional natural abilities, truly rare. She is destined for greatness!"

What the hell?

Shen Li was stunned!

This kid really knows how to spout off without thinking!

I've only been sitting here for a short while, and I haven't done anything yet!

That's all you said?

And why does he portray himself so highly?

Shen Li blushed slightly. Now she finally understood why Yi Qianxiao always praised him in front of her!

Isn't that just a glib and smooth-talking act?

Shen Li blushed, but Jia Daoshi looked completely at ease.

Pah! You're so shameless!

However, since the young man was praising her, Shen Li couldn't say anything and could only sit silently to the side without speaking.

After all, she couldn't stand it if her master started nagging.

Xia Wanlian was somewhat surprised.

She knew Shen Li's temper all too well. It was already a good thing if she didn't wield weapons, let alone concentrate on her studies. The murderous aura emanating from her was as if she could tear a hole in the roof at any moment!

Hearing Jia Daoshi's words and looking at Shen Li sitting quietly to the side, he couldn't help but think to himself, "This Li Bai really does have real talent."

Although there was only a book on the table in front of Shen Li, without any writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone, at least she didn't use knives or guns to drive people away. It seems that her murderous aura has dissipated quite a bit.

Xia Wanlian was delighted and walked to Jia Daoshi's side with a smile, glancing at the paper in front of him.

It was densely packed with writing, but I couldn't tell what it said.

"Sir, what is written on this paper?"

Shen Li stood up abruptly and leaned forward, also very curious about what this guy was up to.

Jia Daoshi calmly put down his brush: "Madam, this is the list of books that Miss Shen just copied. Please take a look."

"Huh?" Xia Wanlian looked surprised, then turned to Shen Li, "Really? You wrote all of this?"

She only glanced at it and immediately noticed how beautifully the characters were written!

Shen Li blushed slightly at this abrupt remark, but she couldn't admit it at the moment, so she could only nod in the end.

This was the first time Shen Li had ever encountered something like showing off. Only then did she realize how strong one's mental fortitude must be to do something like this!

How thick-skinned do you have to be!

If only those with thick skin are qualified to be teachers, then Jia Daoshi is absolutely qualified!

Xia Wanlian looked at the words in front of Jia Daoshi. They were some basic articles from the Five Classics. However, the handwriting was very beautiful, slender and firm but not lacking in elegance, showing strength but not lacking in gentleness. It was as if the writing was divinely inspired. Shen Li's temperament was very similar.

"Ah Li! I never expected your handwriting to be so exquisite. It seems you've really put in a lot of effort these past few days! That's good! That's good! Read more of these poems and books, and let the noble spirit within them calm the murderous aura around you. Excellent, excellent!"

Shen Li didn't know what to say at this point. If she denied it now, the trouble would only get worse. So she lowered her head and gave a soft "hmm".

Xia Wanlian was in a great mood. She hadn't expected that all the tutors she had hired before would be driven away by her apprentice. This tutor, though young, had managed to make Shen Li so obedient!

You've really found the right person!
