He left Ye Manor!
Chu Yuan didn't give it much thought. What he was considering right now was how to find a place to stay.
Although he was now considered Ye Manor's tutor, he could stay there temporarily. However, he had never been comfortable with the idea of depending on others.
Even if Ye Manor welcomed him, he didn't want to stay there.
So!
After a moment of thought, he left Ye Manor and headed out to find a place to stay.
After all, the lecture would bring some rewards, including silver, so he didn't need to stay at Ye Manor.
He had always been this way!
He liked being free and independent. Relying on others was always inconvenient, so it was better to just rent a courtyard.
Money could solve everything!
Soon, Chu Yuan rented a small courtyard with a peaceful environment. This was his temporary residence for now.
It's worth mentioning that...
His courtyard was located at the corner of a street, offering a quiet environment.
The only downside.
was that his house was next to a dilapidated general store.
They were neighbors!
Chu Yuan originally wanted to browse the general store and support the business. But then he stopped, thought for a moment, and decided against it.
There was plenty of time. There was no need to be too hasty!
Through the wide-open storefront.
Chu Yuan could see that the owner of this general store was a blind man.
...
...
As he walked past the general store!
A smile couldn't help but spread across Chu Yuan's lips.
Although he didn't plan on having any significant interactions with the blind man, he knew it was unlikely they would have any connection.
But this didn't stop him from being curious about the blind man!
So just now —
While passing by, Chu Yuan had used his appraisal skill on the blind man.
【Name: Old Five】
【Origin: Military Museum】
【Level: Super Intelligent, Bionic Robot (Memory Impaired)】
【Energy: 61% (Medium)】
【Strength: Grandmaster】
【Weapon: Iron Pry Bar】
【Special: Laser Eye (Sealed)】
【Owner: Ye Xiao】
【Description: Brought out from the Military Museum by Heavenly Vein Practitioner Ye Qing’er, he became her follower. After Ye Qing’er's death, permissions were transferred to Ye Xiao.]
“Heavenly Vein Practitioner and a bionic robot?!”
Chu Yuan thought to himself: “This is interesting.”
Although his memory contained information about the blind man, he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder upon seeing him today.
While the blind man's information was simple, his strength was undeniable.
Wow!
Something like Laser Eyes actually existed!
Wouldn't he sweep across the entire Zōngwǔ world, taking down anyone who dared to challenge him?
Unfortunately!
Even though the blind man possessed this ability, it was sealed for some unknown reason.
If this thing were unsealed!
Who in the entire Great Qing Dynasty could withstand it?
As for that Heavenly Vein Practitioner!
She possessed such a powerful weapon, yet ultimately met her demise. It was a bit ironic.
In Chu Yuan's opinion…
Using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot at mosquitoes might be a waste of resources!
But turning the anti-aircraft gun into a dud was even more foolish.
...
...
Thinking about it!
Chu Yuan could only sigh inwardly.
No matter how extraordinary this Heavenly Vein Practitioner was, she was still just a woman. She wasn't ruthless enough, and she didn't judge people accurately enough.
Perhaps if she had been more ruthless!
With the advantages of being a Heavenly Vein Practitioner, combined with the blind man's martial and firepower, becoming a female emperor would have been easy…
She could have dared to make the dynasty change its ways!
Or perhaps she was too idealistic and self-centered.
Then!
The world might not have been a better place!
But she definitely wouldn't have died.
Unfortunately!
There were no ifs, ands, or buts in this world.
The reason why the Heavenly Vein Practitioner was called that was because she had her own style.
There wasn't much to say.
It had nothing to do with him. Living his own life and walking his own path were the most important things.
Night fell!
A gentle breeze blew through the streets and alleys of Nanhai County. Compared to the dullness of the day, it felt refreshing.
Soon, Chu Yuan found the bookstore!
...
Not long after!
Chu Yuan had purchased a pile of books from the bookstore and returned home!
Most of them were miscellaneous books!
Thanks to the fact that this world was both feudal and not feudal, many miscellaneous books and common books were widely circulated and easy to find.
Therefore!
Chu Yuan bought everything from farming to the laws of the dynasty!
He bought them to help with his reading, expand his "Ten Thousand Volumes of Books" skill, and cultivate a scholarly aura!
It's worth mentioning that!
Whether it was due to his improved aptitude or the cultivation of the "Ten Thousand Volumes of Books" skill, Chu Yuan discovered that his comprehension had greatly increased.
Many obscure and difficult concepts he could now understand with just a glance.
Even!
He had developed a photographic memory.
He could unconsciously memorize the contents of all the books he read.
With a single thought!
Countless classics flickered through his mind. The books he had read were all stored in his memory and seemed to be within his grasp at any moment.
This photographic memory was incredibly powerful.
As a result!
Chu Yuan couldn't help but think, if he had possessed this talent earlier…
He wouldn't be a Juren now, but he would have been on his way to becoming a champion. However, considering the level of corruption in the Great Qing Dynasty's examinations.
Such things could only be laughed off!
