Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 2 Fan Xian's Admiration

Outside the study.

"Good afternoon, sir." Little Fan Xian sniffed and smiled sweetly.

Next to Fan Xian, a skinny, dark-skinned girl stood there blankly. She was the kind of person who could not cause any waves in the world below the Earl's Mansion.

Who could have guessed that he was of such a noble status, being the child of the Earl of Kyoto?

Patting Fan Xian's head, Lin Ruo said, "Alright, stop pretending in front of me. Your naughty existence often gives my father a headache."

Little Fan Xian was still smiling.

Fan Ruoruo also addressed him "sir" politely.

Lin Ruo looked at the little girl with regret in his eyes: "Ruoruo, you are really weak."

Fan Ruoruo's face turned slightly red, but she was not angry. She knew that the master was joking. Instead, she glared at Fan Xian and said, "Brother, the master has just arrived, and you are saying bad things about me like this."

Apart from Fan Xian, no one would tease her like this, so Ruoruo naturally thought so.

"No, I really haven't told you, sir." Little Fan Xian waved his hands, looking so innocent.

He also wondered how the gentleman could say such a thing, and could only think that the gentleman was a fellow traveler like himself and had the same opinion about Ruoruo.

"It's just a casual remark. Don't mind it, Miss Ruoruo. You will definitely change a lot as you grow older."

Lin Ruoping smiled calmly.

The sound of his voice was very pleasant, as if the breeze was caressing the strings of a musical instrument, making people feel very friendly and warm.

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, she felt better and started laughing again: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Lin Ruo opened the study door and said, "It's getting late. I have to give Master Fan Xian a lesson. Miss Ruoruo, do you want to listen with me?"

Fan Ruoruo waved her hands repeatedly, very resistant: "No, sir, Ruoruo has to go accompany her grandmother." Then she trotted away.

Only then did Lin Ruo realize that there were many servants gathered around.

The Earl's Mansion had a new teacher, and soon everyone in the huge mansion knew about it. What was especially special was that the teacher was young and had an extraordinary appearance, unlike those pedantic old men, so he was naturally more attractive.

But when Lin Ruo looked up, he found that the servants and maids were looking at him strangely.

"You know, the teacher always tells the young master ghost stories."

"Oh, that's too bad."

"This teacher is the son of the previous teacher. He won't instill some bad ideas into the young master."

"But he is really handsome."

Hearing all the whispers, Lin Ruo said helplessly: "Look at what you have done."

Fan Xian spread his hands and smiled awkwardly: "Don't blame me, they are just too credulous."

Telling ghost stories was one of Fan Xian's bad hobbies. Most of his listeners were maids in the mansion. No one would believe that the young master knew these things at such a young age, so the blame was always placed on the teacher.

In the study, Lin Ruo opened the south window as usual, and the sound of cicadas outside the window came in, mixed with the breeze, which was perfect for relieving boredom in summer.

Fan Xian lay on the table in a daze, looking a little distressed. The old teacher always imparted all kinds of obscure knowledge and really did not treat him as a child. Even if he was a person who lived again, he really could not understand all this.

The young teacher in the old gentleman's family must have received many instructions from him before coming, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to study those scriptures.

Fan Xian thought so, but what he didn't know was that everything was instructed by the Earl in the capital.

However, Lin Ruo knew.

Patting his head, Lin Ruo scolded, "You're already daydreaming before class starts." Fan Xian felt wronged, and then he straightened up and asked, "Teacher, which scripture are you going to explain today?"

Lin Ruo could sense the reluctance in his words and chuckled calmly. For a four-year-old child, the scriptures were indeed a huge challenge.

But Fan Xian is not a four-year-old boy.

"If the scriptures are not taught, a four-year-old child cannot learn these things." Lin Ruo shook his head.

When Fan Xian heard this, he jumped up and down: "Are you serious, sir?"

"Seriously, sit down." Lin Ruo said in a gentleman's tone, "You are still young. Learning these things will only destroy your innocence. You will learn what you should learn naturally when you are old enough."

With a childlike innocent and lovely smile, Fan Xian whispered, "I understand. You must have been persecuted by the old master when you were a child. That's why you feel the same way and can't bear to see such suffering."

Lin Ruo smiled and did not respond. It was undeniable that after traveling through time for seventeen years, this was roughly how he got through it.

But it is far less outrageous than reading the entire Bible at the age of four.

"Then sir, what should students learn?" Turning around, Fan Xian asked carefully.

Lin Ruo said seriously: "The handwriting reflects the person, and the writing carries the truth, so practice calligraphy."

"Handwriting is the face of a scholar. If your handwriting is not good, even if you write an amazing article in the future, it will lack some connotation."

Fan Xian nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you, sir."

After copying some words for Fan Xian to copy, Lin Ruo stood up and stood at the window looking into the distance.

A vague panel quietly appeared before my eyes.

【Character: Fan Xian】

[Admiration value acquisition progress: 10% (the maximum is 100%, and you will receive special rewards when reaching it)]

[Upgrade successfully, obtain various attribute upgrades]

[Intelligence: +1]

[Physical Strength: +1]

[Charm value: +1]

[Luck value: +1]

Seventeen years! Seventeen years had passed, and he finally got what he wanted. Suppressing his excitement, Lin Ruo heaved a sigh of relief.

As a time traveler, it is normal for him to have a system. His system is called the Admiration Value Acquisition System. In short, it is to try every means to gain the admiration of others in order to obtain attribute bonuses and special rewards and enhance strength.

The limited scope for obtaining worship points must be the main characters of Joy of Life.

How can one gain the admiration of others without any ability? Knowing that his father would teach in the Earl's Mansion, Lin Ruo studied hard for seventeen years and passed the imperial examination for today.

Only then did he gain the old lady's approval, and on the premise that his father was bedridden, he was allowed to enter the mansion as Fan Xian's teacher.

You have to know that Fan Xian's every move is under the watchful eyes of a group of "old fathers" in the capital. If Lin wants to contact Fan Xian, he must have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, he will only become the target of threats and ambushes.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was rising overhead, and Lin Ruo felt a little uneasy.

According to calculations, Fei Jie, the head of the Third House of the Kyoto Supervisory Council, will be visiting soon. By then, he will be dismissed by the old lady, and Fei Jie will naturally become Fan Xian's new teacher.

Lin Ruo was in a heavy mood: "I have to find a way to stay in the Earl's Mansion."
