The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 295

The teacher from Bailu Academy nodded and then walked directly to his teachers' dormitory building.

Meanwhile, inside the library, Xie Qing was drawing a topographical map of Chen County when suddenly a figure appeared behind him.

Xie Qing had no choice but to put down his paintbrush and say, "Who has disturbed my painting?"

As he spoke, his gaze was somewhat disdainful. He turned his head and saw a female staff member standing behind him, dressed in a light blue robe. This female staff member had delicate features, like a lotus flower in the spring lake. This lotus flower was swaying in the wind, truly a sight to behold from afar.

Looking at the female student's face, it was as calm as water in a frozen lake in winter, so calming that just one glance made one's heart feel clear as well.

"I'm watching you paint."

Xie Qing wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't find the words, so she could only continue to grip her paintbrush and begin painting.

But he soon discovered that his once-proud memory had suffered a break; he had forgotten to sigh when he was only halfway through drawing the topographical map.

Xie sighed, then stood up, walked to the last row of the bookshelf, picked up the second-ranked book, glanced at it, remembered it, nodded, and continued drawing.

Unexpectedly, the space was very quiet, and before an incense stick could burn, he forgot again. Xie Qing frowned and wondered what was wrong with him today, as he kept forgetting the mountain path map.

When Xie Qing stood up again, she found a girl standing in front of the book about Meishan.

Xie Qing immediately said, "What are you doing blocking this way?"

Unexpectedly, the girl's son curled up a mocking smile.

“I’ve never met anyone dumber than you. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you’ve already stood up several times.”

Xie Qing said, "What if it were you?"

Then the woman in blue said, "I memorized this book after just one glance."

Xie Qing immediately widened her eyes and said, "What did you say?"

“I said I had already memorized all the pictures in this book, not just this book, but I had looked at and memorized all the books on this whole shelf.”

He then handed the picture book to Xie Qing and tossed it into her arms before reciting the entire page word for word.

Xie Qing was initially taken aback, then nodded and smiled gently.

"You don't need to memorize anymore. I believe you've already memorized all the books on the shelf. By the way, what's your name?"

The woman in blue was taken aback at first, then said, "My name is Luo Ling."

"So it's Miss Luo. I am Xie Qing from Chenjun."

Unexpectedly, when Luo Ling heard him say this, she was first stunned, and then her expression darkened.

"You shouldn't call me Miss Luo, but Master Luo."

Now it was Xie Qing's turn to be completely baffled.

"We are the same age, why should I call you Master?"

Luo Ling said calmly, "Because I have a photographic memory and extensive knowledge, the dean of Bailu Academy has invited me to stay on as a staff member."
