âPrincipal Lin, since you knew about this earlier, why didnât you tell me? Are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?â The Minister of War, Li Kaiguang, said angrily.
Lin Beifan felt very wronged. âSir Li, thatâs not fair! When I proposed the water training, I already reminded you! Who knew that you didnât appreciate my kindness and said you had your own arrangements, so I didnât need to worry about it! If I continue to speak, wouldnât it annoy people?â
âWellâŚâ Li Kaiguang was speechless.
âYour majesty, and all the civil and military officials can testify for me!â Lin Beifan said with his head held high and righteous indignation.
The empress tried to hold back her laughter and said, âMinister Li, I saw it too. Principal Lin did remind you. Itâs just that you didnât take it seriously and now you blame him for the problem. What kind of logic is that?â
âYour Majesty, I was confused for a while. Please forgive me!â Li Kaiguang quickly bowed.
âYou should apologize to Principal Lin, not me!â The empress pointed at Lin Beifan.
Li Kaiguang was greatly unwilling. âHow can the Minister of War, such a dignified position, not have such a broad mind?â The empress loudly rebuked him, âIt seems that you havenât learned your lesson yet. Do you need me to teach you how to behave?â
âNoâŚitâs not necessary!â Li Kaiguang turned his head and faced Lin Beifanâs smug smile. He bowed with his hands together and said in great frustration, âPrincipal Lin, just now I was too impulsive and spoke without thinking. I apologize to you.â
Lin Beifan quickly replied, âSir Li, itâs alright. Everyone can be impulsive and lose their temper. Just be more careful next time.â
Li Kaiguang was so angry that his mouth was crooked. Will there even be a next time? He even suspected that this whole thing was planned by Lin Beifan just to scheme against him! This sly bastard! If he falls into my hands, Iâll show him!
âAlright, letâs end this matter here.â The empress waved her hand to end the matter.
Next, Lin Beifan shifted his focus back to the Imperial Academy.
Recently, Lin Beifan was very happy. It was the monthly exam again and he had managed to trick a large sum of money from the group of wealthy students.
The little princess was also very pleased. In the past, she could only bully a few dozen students and it was not satisfying enough. But now, she could bully the spoiled rich students from all over the country! She could beat up whoever she didnât like and it was really enjoyable!
It shouldnât be called bullying, it should be called loving discipline! She held up a test paper and slapped it onto Gao Tianyuâs face, hands on hips and said angrily, âLook at your results again this time, you failed again! This is the umpteenth time. Itâs not just embarrassing for you, but even embarrassing for me as your homeroom teacher!â
Raising her small fist, she asked, âDonât you think my loving discipline is not enough? Do you want to take a few more punches?â
Gao Tianyuâs face was full of fatigue and he weakly said, âLittle Princess, I tried my best! According to my performance in the last monthly exam, I would definitely pass, but who knew that this time the exam paper was so difficult, there was nothing I could do!â
âYeah, itâs too difficult. It almost cost me my life.â
âEven the students in other classes didnât pass the exam!â
âMy head hurts from it!â
âŚ
Everyone began to complain.
âIs it really that difficult? Or is it just that you guys donât know how to take the exam!â The little princess spoke with the authority of someone with experience, âExams like these have a pattern. You should think about the intentions of the test-makers! Think about why they would come up with questions like this and what theyâre testing for! Once you figure it out, answering the questions becomes easy!â
âIâve figured it out, but I still donât know!â Gao Tianyu looked despairing, his eyes lifeless.
The little princess was confused, âIf you figured it out, why donât you know how to answer?â
âBecause he wants me dead!â Gao Tianyu gritted his teeth.
âPffft!â The little princess burst out laughing, holding her stomach. âYou hit the nail on the head!â
Other students giggled along, âPffft!â
âLittle princess, can you help me convince Principal to stop making such difficult questions? My family is really poor, or at least Iâm broke. Please help me out!â
âYes, little princess, please help me convince Principal! Iâve been studying really hard for the past few months, making a lot of progress! But who knew that the questions he comes up with would just keep getting harder? Iâm really hopeless now!â
âLittle princess, Iâve already turned over a new leaf, please donât torture me anymore and give me a chance!â
âLittle princess, if I pass this exam, Iâll do anything you ask!â
Everyone begged for her help.
The little princessâs vanity was greatly satisfied. With a smug look on her face, she waved her hand dismissively, âFine, Iâll go talk to him and ask him to stop setting such difficult questions next time! But I canât guarantee anything!â
The students were overjoyed, âThank you, little princess!â
And so, the little princess happily went to find Lin Beifan.
âLittle princess, what brings you here?â Lin Beifan put down the document in his hand and smiled.
âLin Beifan, can you stop making the exams so difficult next time? My students are starting to doubt their lives!â The little princess got straight to the point.
Lin Beifan didnât understand, âIs it really that difficult? I could do them with my eyes closed!â
The little princess was irritated, âOf course, these questions are easy for you, the new top scholar with triple honors. But for my students, who are all struggling, itâs not easy. Theyâve made so much progress in the past few months, but itâs already difficult enough. Please give them a chance, or else Iâm afraid they might consider taking their own lives.â
âAlright, next time I wonât make the questions so difficult!â Lin Beifan readily agreed. He knew the concept of âfishing a fish out of a pond step-by-stepâ. He had to give them a bit of hope and slowly string them along. Once they were fattened up, he could continue to slaughter them.
âThank you!â The little princess smiled happily, as if Lin Beifan had done it just to make her happy.
She took out a delicate little box from her pocket with some reluctance and expectations. âLin Beifan, this is my favorite delicacy. Letâs eat it together!â
âOkay!â Lin Beifan nodded with a smile.
The two then climbed to the highest point of the Imperial Academy and sat side by side on the fence, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the distance while eating the delicacy.
The delicacy didnât last long, only two to three bites. But the view was so beautiful that they didnât want to leave.
At this point, the sun had already set, casting a warm golden light on them, not scorching, but rather comfortable.
Bathed in the golden sunlight, they shone like gods and goddesses.
âThis scenery is so beautiful, I wish it could last forever!â The little princess swayed her short legs boredly, resting her chin on her hands. âI suddenly realized that life is so short and that we often spend it being idle without knowing why or how many beautiful scenes weâve missed! Sometimes we should slow down, maybe weâll discover different scenery! Lin Beifan, donât you think so?â
âYes, youâre absolutely right!â Lin Beifan nodded immediately.
Then the little princess turned her head to look at Lin Beifan and suddenly asked a philosophical question, âBy the way, Lin Beifan, what is the purpose of life?â
âFor money and women!â Lin Beifan answered without hesitation.
The little princess punched him with a small fist and angrily said, âYou are the new top scholar with triple honors, and also the principal of the Imperial Academy. How can you be so vulgar?â
âFor career and love!â Lin Beifan spoke with a lofty toneâŚ
âGood!â The little princess nodded in satisfaction but then was dumbfounded the next second. âWait, isnât that same?â
âIt is different!â claimed Lin Beifan.
âWhatâs different?â The little princess asked angrily.
Lin Beifan justified himself, âMoney is vulgar, while career is noble! Love is great, and women areâŚâ
âWhat are women?â The little princess moved closer with her little fist.
âWomen are lovely!â Lin Beifan continued to reason. âTherefore, people can live without money, but they canât live without career! People can live without women, but they canât live without love!â
The little princess was dumbfounded again. âWithout women, how can there be love?â
âLittle princess, you are so short-sighted!â Lin Beifan laughed. âLove is great. It not only transcends national boundaries but also overcomes gender and race! Havenât you heard of this phrase? The love between men is true love, while the love between men and women is only for the continuation of the offspring!â
The little princess laughed angrily, âYou really beat me with your nonsense!â
She lightly punched Lin Beifan a few more times, and the two continued to enjoy the sunset scenery.
The little princess turned her head slightly and saw Lin Beifanâs profile. She didnât know why, but she suddenly thought he looked rather attractive and charming. Blushing, she turned away and continued to rest her chin on her hands, âLin Beifan, I have another question for you!â
âGo ahead, Iâll tell you everything I know!â
The little princessâs eyes were a little hazy. âI heard that when people are in danger, the personâs name they shout out proves to be the most important person in their heart! Whose name did you shout out when you were in danger?â
After asking, she looked at Lin Beifan expectantly.
âThe name I shouted outâŚâ Lin Beifan fell into deep thought and didnât answer.
The little princess couldnât help but ask, âWas it your parentsâ name?â
Lin Beifan shook his head. âNo.â
The little princess asked again, âWas it your siblingsâ names?â
Lin Beifan shook his head again. âNo, I donât have any siblings!â
The little princess asked again, âWas it your seniorâs name?â
Lin Beifan shook his head again. âNo.â
The little princess asked again, âWas it Sister Shi Shiâs name?â
Lin Beifan shook his head again. âNo.â
After asking around, Lin Beifan still did not answer.
The little princess became angry. âWho was it?â
Lin Beifan furrowed his brows. âI donât know! Iâve been thinking, âWhat the f*ck?â I guess I would call the name when I was in danger!â
âWhat the f*ck!â The little princess exclaimed.
âLittle princess, so youâre the same!â Lin Beifan seemed to have found a kindred spirit and said happily.
âGet lost! Who said weâre kindred spirits? Who shouts out that word in danger?â The little princess punched him again and said through her laughter, âYouâre trying to make me laugh to deathâŚare you satisfied?â
She was so happy inside!
This guy is really something, always unintentionally making her happy!
She wished it could go on like this forever and ever!
Just then, they noticed a person in armor riding a black horse galloping quickly down the street ahead.
Riding wildly like a bull, no one could stop him.
Lin Beifanâs and the little princessâs faces changed.
âUrgent message from 800 miles away! Something big has happened!â
