Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 146 The Third Prince

The old man stared at Ning Ruyue. The melody of the piano had stopped for a long time, but he was still immersed in the lingering rhythm of the sword.

He devoted his entire life to research, calling himself a craftsman, doing his best to carve the future of the court, and regarded every student as a work of art. However, the eldest princess, who he once regarded as a defective product, has now blossomed and borne fruit.

It was the most brilliant fruit he had ever seen.

"Hahahaha, yes, you are right!"

After an unknown amount of time, the old man suddenly woke up from his dream, "I didn't expect that my research went in the wrong direction from the beginning. It is really a piece of shit. You are right!"

It turns out that he has always been a person who only sees the world from a narrow perspective. In his eyes, he can only see the First King and the history written by the First King. He cannot tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in his eyes. Therefore, he follows suit and believes that there should only be one kind of sword-wielding technique in this world.

He is not worthy of the title of craftsman at all. All he does is waste piece of uncut jade by carving them into the same shape.

I am no longer qualified to stay here.

The onlookers couldn't believe their ears.

They looked at each other in astonishment. This old gentleman, who was highly respected in the court and was known as the living encyclopedia of swordsmanship, actually belittled the research results he had always cherished as worthless in public.

They also saw the old gentleman, as if possessed, abandoning the classroom and students, walking out the door laughing and disappearing at the end of the corridor.

"Teacher Mingyuan, is he... okay?"

Ning Ruyue put away the piano with mixed feelings. After all, they were teacher and student, and the old gentleman was already old, and she didn't want to see him lose his temper and die of depression.

Even the joy of getting a glimpse of the barrier for the first time was diluted a little.

"He's fine."

Duan Mingyuan was determined.

The old gentleman did go in the wrong direction, but his passion for research was real. As the saying goes, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. There should be other explanations for this sentence besides "If I know the way to your home in the morning, you will not survive tonight."

Just as Duan Mingyuan said at the beginning, this is an objective and pertinent academic discussion. While realizing the mistake, it also means that the old gentleman's research will usher in a new beginning.

"As expected of a teacher at the academy, this is really impressive."

Ying Tian, ​​whose nose was almost crooked, dusted off his body and came forward. What happened later was far beyond his expectations. He never thought that there would be someone in this world who could refute the old man speechlessly in the art of wielding a sword. In the end, he could only leave in shame.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Yingtian, the third prince of the court."

"Duan Mingyuan."

The brief handshake also made all the onlookers remember the name.

Duan Mingyuan, the teacher at Yunhai Academy, has an understanding of the art of wielding swords that goes beyond that of ordinary people. When these two completely unrelated pieces of information are put together, anyone with a little insight can foresee that the upcoming battle for the throne will probably lead to many more twists and turns.

This person must be the mysterious person who helped the princess defeat the second prince behind the scenes.

"I'm curious about something. Teacher Mingyuan mentioned earlier that we all have the same talent, but because of our different personalities, our sword paths are also different. So what do you think of the sword path for someone like me?"

This was undoubtedly a tricky question, so tricky that even Yingtian himself didn't know the answer to it.

Because he had never been interested in sword-fighting lessons, in his opinion, it was just an old antique that had been proven to fail, so whenever he met someone bragging about the art of wielding a sword, he felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

If the art of wielding a sword was as magical as it was touted to be, the people at that time would not have lost the war, would not exist in the court, and they would not have become pawns of the company.

But after listening to Duan Mingyuan's discussion on swordsmanship, he felt that perhaps the person in front of him could really answer his doubts.

"You are suitable for the flagship." "Chess sword? You mean playing chess?"

Yingtian was stunned for a long while before he spoke hesitantly.

He doesn't know how to play chess and has no interest in it, and it's also a game that can make people sleepy.

"No, it's the flagship, flying in the sky."

Duan Mingyuan pointed upwards, and Ying Tian looked in the direction of his finger and saw the ceiling. After thinking for a long time, he realized that Duan Mingyuan was talking about the flagship, which was similar to the logo of Universal Company and was also the object dropped from the sky mentioned in history books.

Then the problem is coming.

What is the sword path of the flagship?
"If you don't like sword practice, there's no need to force yourself."

Duan Mingyuan said.

After seeing Yingtian's attitude in class, he had a new understanding of the third prince in the court.

What Yingtian hated was probably not only the art of wielding swords, but also everything old and corrupt, so he gradually transformed the court into its current state over the years. Although he was unable to completely eliminate the old things, he opened a path to the future in the court.

If you think about it more deeply.

Is it true that the Third Prince is only disgusted by old things?

"Haha, Teacher Mingyuan is really funny and humorous."

Yingtian smiled somewhat awkwardly, as he felt that this pun joke was a bit dull.

"I was serious."

Duan Mingyuan had no intention of telling a joke or using a pun. The Third Prince asked sincerely, so as an elder, he would naturally answer the other party's question seriously. "If you don't like practicing sword, even if you force yourself, the sword in your hand will never be able to touch the sky."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Ying Tian smiled even more awkwardly. His little thoughts seemed to be seen through, which also proved that Duan Mingyuan was indeed not an ordinary person.

That's why he hated "Swordsmanship Lesson".

The more people boasted about the first king and sang praises of his great achievements, the more hopeless they felt.

Even someone so powerful and ambitious still lost to "God", and in the old man's words, their sword-wielding skills were so good that they couldn't even match the taillights of the first king's car when he was young.

At best, it can only be used to deal with some thugs you meet on the street.

"But if you want to reach the sky, you don't have to use the sword only. As long as you can buy a flagship, you can start an ace dogfight with them. Compared to forcing yourself to do something you don't like, this may be a more suitable path for you."

In fact, the third prince has always done this.

The entertainment empire he built was entirely imported. When the aliens' flagships landed on this planet, he learned how to use them and made good use of them, leading to its present state.

The battlefield does not necessarily only exist between swords. It also takes courage and means to seize the market from the aliens.

"Teacher Mingyuan is right. I will buy a flagship sooner or later."

Ying Tian said loudly, whether it was a joke or what he really meant, only he knew.

Then he said, "This is the first time for the teacher to come to the court. I happen to have no classes this afternoon, so I will take you around."
