After a heart-to-heart talk at the tavern!
Life continued as usual.
Just like in this world, everyone should follow their own path!
After the arrival of winter!
The weather in Nanhai County gradually turned cold, completely different from when Chu Yuan first arrived at the Ye Manor.
The scorching heat was gone!
And this seemed to be a sign that Chu Yuan's departure from Nanhai County to go to Kyoto was getting closer.
However!
It is worth mentioning.
After the Kyoto Inspectorate was fined three months' salary, there were no more assassins causing trouble in Nanhai County.
Of course!
Both Master Fei and Chu Yuan knew that the calm surface concealed the undercurrents.
As Ye Xiao gradually grew up!
These undercurrents would inevitably evolve into overt waves.
Of course!
These were just episodes in Chu Yuan's teaching life.
They wouldn't affect his teaching.
【Lecture Complete】
【Evaluation: A+】
【Reward: One hundred taels of silver, ten strands of True Qi】
Looking at the lecture evaluation results!
Chu Yuan was a little puzzled, wondering if it was because he was about to leave Nanhai County soon to participate in the Spring Examination.
These days, his classes have basically been A+ evaluations!
Even!
Chu Yuan had deliberately tried to slow down, and even slacked off a little.
The evaluations were consistently stable, always at A+.
The evaluation never dropped to A!
This shows that…
No matter what he taught, this kid Ye Xiao listened very attentively.
In this regard!
Chu Yuan was quite relieved.
It seemed that this kid really wasn't willing to part, so he cherished every lesson.
With his attentiveness in listening to lectures!
Chu Yuan felt he was getting closer and closer to the Eighth Rank.
There was no way!
Recently, there was no output, but the silver and True Qi were plentiful, accumulating day by day.
Chu Yuan couldn't even slow down if he wanted to!
After all!
This life of cheating, he couldn't control it either.
……
……
In the blink of an eye, another month passed!
The 62nd year of the Qing Dynasty.
In late February, Nanhai County had gradually entered spring.
The sea breeze was gentle!
Soon, the spring air would completely occupy the entire Nanhai County.
At this time!
Outside the city, small yellow flowers had already bloomed everywhere.
It is said that this is the type of plant that Nanhai County people love the most, and every household will use the petals of these small yellow flowers to make tea.
So.
Walking on the streets of Nanhai County, you could always smell a faint fragrance.
Not too strong, not too weak!
Just a light fragrance, but it could make people feel very peaceful.
“Breakthrough…,”
Chu Yuan murmured, his breakthrough was calm and natural.
Eighth Rank!
Following his breakthrough to the Seventh Rank in autumn last time.
In the spring of the second year, Chu Yuan made another breakthrough, successfully entering the Eighth Rank.
A breakthrough in realm!
For ordinary people, and even for Ye Xiao, the protagonist who had been cultivating since childhood, this was a major event.
However.
Clearly, for a genius like Chu Yuan, with his incredible talent and the blessing of the cheating system.
Breaking through to the Eighth Rank was just a natural progression.
It wasn't worth celebrating much.
After all, the reason he was able to break through to the Eighth Rank so quickly was due to his cheating, but at the same time…
This also meant that he hadn't produced anything for a long time.
Otherwise!
He wouldn't have so many True Qi rewards to support his breakthrough to the Eighth Rank.
Then, Chu Yuan opened his personal panel again.

……
……
Drizzling rain softly fell on the doorboards of the general store at the corner.
It made a crackling sound!
Interestingly, the blind man's general store was closed again today, not because he had a change of heart and took Ye Xiao to class.
It was because of the rain!
Being a bio-robot, he didn't really like the rain either, so he simply closed up shop.
Of course!
Even so, it didn't stop Chu Yuan from peeling peanuts and drinking the blind man's yellow wine here.
Soon, Master Fei brought Ye Xiao in as well!
However, after entering!
Master Fei's first reaction was that something was wrong with Chu Yuan's aura.
He looked at Chu Yuan in astonishment and said, “You've broken through again?”
“Yes,”
Chu Yuan smiled, “From now on, Teacher Fei can call me an Eighth Rank expert!”
At that moment!
Master Fei felt as if he had eaten a fly.
Honestly!
With Chu Yuan's aptitude, it wasn't strange that he could break through to the Eighth Rank.
After all, Chu Yuan's talent was there for everyone to see!
The hard power that Chu Yuan had previously displayed was already enough to fight a Ninth Rank, so whether he broke through or not, or when he broke through.
It didn't really matter, it wasn't important.
But!
Combat strength is combat strength, True Qi level is True Qi level, these two cannot be confused.
So…
What really bothered Master Fei was that he had just broken through to the Eighth Rank, and felt that he had left Chu Yuan behind.
As a result!
It hadn't even been two months!
He was overtaken by Chu Yuan again, becoming equal again, both at the Eighth Rank…
This feeling wasn't good!
To put it bluntly!
Everyone knew how fast Chu Yuan cultivated, but he broke through to the Eighth Rank so quickly, it still made Master Fei somewhat unable to accept it.
Normal people break through to the Eighth Rank, they need to accumulate True Qi first!
Then they need to spend a lot of time to understand this, understand that, or learn about the control ability of this realm, etc.
But Chu Yuan was different!
He didn't do anything, he just taught, taught, and taught.
As a result!
The more this happened, the more his breakthroughs were like drinking water, which was simply too discouraging.
How old was he?
And how old was Chu Yuan?
Wasn't this pure mockery, saying that all his years had been wasted on the dog?
