The child's ancestor was exposed by Mimi's live stream at the beginning.

Classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, TS City Experimental Primary School

The excellent academic atmosphere of the private school is fully evident.

Even during their free time, the children didn't play around; they were all reading books.

"Ring ring ring..."

A clear and melodious bell rang, and the students all turned their envious gazes toward Lu Liang.

The school explicitly prohibits students from bringing cell phones, but Lu Liang's watch has a calling function, so isn't that circumventing the rule?

Lu Liang pressed the button on the Little Genius watch, speaking in a thick local dialect.

"Tiedan'er, what are you doing?"

On the other end of the phone, 68-year-old Lu Jiangming nervously swallowed, his greeting filled with respect and concern, but his form of address was particularly strange:

"Great-Grandpa, are you doing well at school?"

Lu Liang, slightly impatient, said, "Stop rambling, what is it?"

Lu Jiangming dared not delay and hurriedly said:

"Grandpa, you need to go back to the village. The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner. You need to be the one to offer the first incense at the ancestral worship ceremony and preside over the dragon boat race. No one else can handle the situation."

"This year, our village is hosting the event, and you will be in charge of deciding the standards for all the food, clothing, and daily necessities."

Lu Jiangming's tone was urgent.

He was looking for the village's leader; without him, he felt anxious and uneasy.

Lu Liang frowned slightly: "You're already so old, it's time for you to stand on your own. You must be proper in your basic etiquette."

"When dealing with foreign affairs, remain calm and composed; when it matters most, be firm. Never suffer losses. Just do as I say!"

Lu Liang offered guidance, but Lu Jiangming still looked worried, because it was easier said than done.

He stammered for a while, then pleaded:

"Great-Grandpa, I really don't have the ability. Without you here, no one feels confident. Besides, I'm not senior enough in terms of seniority..."

It is an indisputable fact that he is not of the right generation.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Liang said, "But I can't leave right now. I'm in class. I'm a primary school student, and my studies are my top priority. You can't expect me to skip class, can you?"

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only a primary school; the curriculum is quite intensive.

If you miss a few days of class, it's easy to fall behind, which is unacceptable.

Lu Jiangming scratched his head anxiously: "I'm afraid I'll mess things up and become a laughing stock in other villages. Besides, without you offering the first incense stick, the ancestral worship can't proceed at all."

The most important matters of state are sacrifice and war.

Although Lu Jiangming couldn't speak elegantly, he understood in his heart that ancestor worship was of great significance, and dragon boat racing was like a microcosm of war.

"Couldn't you talk to the third brother and the others about it? Why do you insist on making me go back?"

Lu Liang deliberately put on airs, shaking his head repeatedly to emphasize his importance.

His deskmate, Wang Xuelan, secretly glanced at him, her eyes filled with admiration.

To be honest, she had liked Lu Liang for a long time.

Which girl wouldn't be attracted to a boy who can handle things with ease both inside and outside of school?

"What do the third brother and the others know? They're timid and lack any leadership qualities. They're only good for doing menial tasks; they're not cut out to be leaders at all."

"You surely know the answer in your heart, sir."

Lu Jiangming looked down on him.

In his mind, apart from the old man, he was the only one in the entire Luqian Village who could hold his own; everyone else was insignificant.

"I just can't do anything with you guys. You're all in your fifties or sixties, and you have no opinions of your own at all."

"I'm only ten years old! Do you want to work me to death? Can't you just let me study in peace?"

Lu Liang scolded and complained, his tone like a parent reprimanding a disappointing child, full of frustration and helplessness.

The other students didn't dare to breathe, looking at Lu Liang as if he were their principal.

In their minds, only the principal has the right to lecture people like that.

"Great-Grandpa, it's not that I don't try, it's just that my talent is limited. Please work hard this one more time, maybe I'll be able to do it next year."

The book explained how to do it, and the old man had also taught us, but when it came to actually doing it, all sorts of problems always arose.

Most importantly, without the old master going back, these things simply cannot be accomplished.

"You said the same thing last year... Never mind, I'll go ask for leave."

Lu Liang finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiangming immediately became excited: "I'll come pick you up right away. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we need to prepare as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Liang walked to the office door.

He knocked politely on the door first, and when he heard "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

He went straight to his homeroom teacher, Wang Shumei, and said bluntly, "Teacher Wang, I need to go back to my hometown. Could you please give me a leave slip?"

Looking at the exquisitely beautiful and adorable Lu Liang in front of her, Teacher Wang couldn't help but blink, feeling somewhat surprised.

This child is clearly still young, but speaks like an adult.

It was said to be a request for leave, but there was no sense of asking for anything; it was more like issuing a notice.

However, Teacher Wang did not have any objection to this.

Lu Liang not only consistently ranks at the top of his class in every exam, but he is also handsome and destined to be a heartthrob. What teacher wouldn't like such a student?

However, for elementary school students to request leave, the teacher's approval alone is not enough; the parent's signature is also required.

"Taking leave? Where do you plan to go for fun?"

"Lu Liang, you did get first place again in the last exam."

"But you didn't get full marks in Chinese, only 98 points. You still need to keep working hard."

When teachers and students communicate, they inevitably mention exam scores.

However, when Teacher Wang said this, she seemed somewhat unsure of herself.

A score of 98 in Chinese is already quite good, almost the limit.

Lu Liang is simply too outstanding; apart from appearing overly mature, there is almost nothing else to criticize.

"It's not for fun, there's an important event in the village. I need to go back to offer the first incense stick for the sacrificial ceremony, and I also need to preside over the dragon boat race."

"If I don't go back, they won't be able to get things done. There's really no other way. A bunch of adults, not one of them can give me any peace of mind."

Lu Liang explained in a very serious tone.

"puff!"

A teacher was drinking water when he heard this and immediately spat it out.

The first incense stick lit during the sacrificial ceremony? And he also presided over the dragon boat race?

This is simply unbelievable.

"Teacher Wang, is your student studying crosstalk? Haha..."

"I think he's a complete liar, spouting nonsense all the time. Where did he learn this ability to talk such blatant lies with a straight face?"

The teachers in the office burst into laughter. They first looked at Teacher Wang, and then looked at Lu Liang with mocking eyes.

In today's society, it's not uncommon to see adults who act like children, but children who act like adults are truly rare.

Teacher Wang's face flushed red, and she took out a ruler, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Lu Liang, stop causing trouble, or the teacher will spank your hand."

"Sigh!" Lu Liang sighed helplessly.

Why am I so unlucky to have transmigrated into the body of a ten-year-old child?

No matter what you say, no matter how earnest you are, no one will believe you.

"System, system, when are you coming out?"

Lu Liang pinned his only hope on the system.

It's a pity that apart from the initial reminder from the system, more than half a year has passed and there has been no further activity.

They say you need to accumulate a certain amount of popularity to unlock new features and also enter a lucky draw.

But how can a ten-year-old child like myself build up popularity?

Of course, there are ways to accumulate it if you really want to, but none of those methods are legal.

Since he couldn't get leave, Lu Liang turned around and went back to the classroom.

Actually, he didn't really want to go out. There were sacrificial rites and dragon boat races, which were much more tiring than going to school.
