Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

"???"

Zhao Ling'er's eyes widened.

Shi Jieren almost bit his tongue, looking at Liang Shan with a horrified expression.

"Professor Shi, don't just stand there, learn along with us."

Liang Shan then brought over a stool and gestured for Shi Jieren to sit down.

If he remembers correctly.

Shi Jieren died because he didn't understand love.

Although this world is absurd, many people are entangled in fateful relationships.

For example, Lin Daiyu in the snow at the mountain temple.

Fahai killed Xu Xian with three punches.

maybe……

Shih Chieh-ren is also destined to be entangled with the two things: "love" and the idea that the earth is round.

"Grand Tutor, what...what did you say?"

Zhao Ling'er doubted that she had heard correctly.

"fall in love."

Liang Shan repeated himself, his tone extremely serious: "Your Highness, what do you think love is?"

Zhao Ling'er was stunned on the spot.

The expressions on their faces were incredibly varied.

From childhood to adulthood, she had listened to countless lectures by the Grand Tutor.

But they all talked about the Four Books and Five Classics, governing the country and managing the family, and cultivating oneself; no tutor ever dared to talk about such topics.

"Grand Tutor, are you...are you insane?"

When Zhao Ling'er came to her senses, she looked at Liang Shan as if he were a madman.

"I am not insane."

Liang Shan shook his head and sighed: "I only want to teach the princess some truly useful things."

What's the point of being in a relationship?

Zhao Ling'er curled her lip, her face full of disdain.

Liang Shan's lips twitched a few times.

Little girl.

Your current belief stems from not having encountered the ghost-fire youth, Li Xiaoyao.

If we really run into each other.

They're probably going to be madly in love.

His decision to teach about dating was actually made after careful consideration.

I am now Zhao Ling'er's tutor.

just in case……

Li Xiaoyao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kidnapped Zhao Ling'er; he's definitely going to be in deep trouble.

It would be better to teach Zhao Ling'er about love and romance in advance.

Also.

He really doesn't know how to teach.

"Your Highness, have you ever witnessed love between a man and a woman?"

Liang Shan took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"I've seen it before."

Without thinking, Zhao Ling'er blurted out, "Those palace maids and eunuchs are always exchanging glances, it's disgusting."

Liang Shan: "..."

Zhao Ling'er's focus is rather unusual.

"That's not what I meant."

He waved his hand and asked from a different angle, "Have you ever liked anyone?"

"like?"

Zhao Ling'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers: "I like Father Emperor, I like Mother Empress, I like the little white cat in the palace, I like the goldfish in the Imperial Garden..."

"That's not the kind of liking I have!"

Liang Shan shook his head.

"Which one is it?"

Zhao Ling'er blinked, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Grand Tutor, do you even know how to teach? Can't you teach something serious?!"

"Love is the most important thing."

Liang Shan sat down opposite her and said earnestly, "Your Highness, do you know that all the conflicts, hatred, joys and sorrows in this world ultimately stem from love?"

"Because of a lack of love, or because of unrequited love."

Zhao Ling'er was somewhat confused.

Shi Jieren frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

"For example, why did the demons of the Jin Dynasty always want to invade the south?"

Liang Shan patiently explained, "It's because they lack love and cannot receive the love of the people of the Song Dynasty, so they can only use violence to fill the emptiness in their hearts."

"Grand Tutor, you..."

Zhao Ling'er was shocked.

She wanted to refute it, but for a moment she didn't know how.

"Let's talk about those treacherous officials in the imperial court."

Liang Shan glanced at Shi Jieren and continued, "Why were people like Cai Jing, Wang Fu, and Tong Guan so greedy and tyrannical? It's because they lacked parental love when they were young, and they could only make up for it with gold and silver when they grew up."

Zhao Ling'er: "..."

Shi Jieren fell into deep thought.

Therefore, learning to love and understanding love is the most important lesson in life.

Liang Shan's expression was serious, and he spoke with utmost earnestness.

"The Grand Tutor is right!"

Shi Jieren suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "I've studied the earth for decades, but I still can't figure it out. Could it be because... I lack love?"

"This child is teachable!"

Seeing that Shi Jieren was so cooperative, Liang Shan smiled with satisfaction.

Shi Jieren's eyes lit up.

It's like finding a new direction in life.

She asked impatiently, "Then... how can I learn to love?"

"Don't rush."

Liang Shan waved his hand and said, "Today I will teach the princess first, you can just listen in."

talking.

He looked at Zhao Ling'er and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve.

The paper was covered with dense writing; it was a "love tutorial outline" that he had stayed up all night to finish.

"Grand Tutor, you've actually prepared?"

Zhao Ling'er leaned over for a peek, and her expression turned strange.

The first line reads: "First lesson in love: What is a heartbeat?"

The second line: "Lesson Two in Love: How to Create a Feeling of Flutter in Your Heart."

The third line: "Lesson Three in Love: How to Express Feelings of Fluttering Hearts."

The fourth line: "Lesson Four in Love: How to Reject Someone You're Not Interested In."

Fifth line...

Zhao Ling'er blushed more and more as she looked at the paper, then snatched it away and tore it to shreds.

"Grand Tutor! You...you have no shame!"

Her face flushed, she turned and ran, her pale blue skirt fluttering among the flowers, disappearing into the distance at the end of the garden in the blink of an eye.

"???"

As Liang Shan watched Zhao Ling'er's disappearing figure, he felt that something was wrong.

This girl.

Could it be that she's pretending to be shy and blatantly skipping class?!

"Luckily, I prepared a few extra."

Liang Shan pulled another stack of papers from his sleeve: "Looks like I'll have to use them next time I'm in class."

Shi Jieren came closer.

His eyes grew brighter as he stared at the "Love Instruction Outline" in Liang Shan's hand.

"Grand Tutor Liang, could I borrow this to take a look?"

"Take it."

Liangshan was very generous and gave all the outlines to Shi Jieren.

"Thank you very much, Grand Tutor Liang!"

Shi Jieren was overjoyed, holding the stack of papers in both hands and carefully stuffing them into his bosom, afraid of wrinkling them.

If Shi Jieren has a favorability rating displayed.

Liang Shan thought so.

The favorability rating is now maxed out.

"By the way, Professor Shi, I've recently needed to draw upon the essence of the sun and moon for my cultivation. Do you know where in Kaifeng City the essence of the sun and moon is most abundant?"

Liang Shan seized the opportunity to inquire.

"The essence of the sun and moon?"

Shi Jieren pondered for a moment: "In Kaifeng, the place with the most concentrated essence of the sun and moon is the Star-Picking Tower in the Princess's Mansion."

"The Star-Picking Tower?"

Liang Shan's eyes lit up.

"That was a star-gazing place that His Majesty built especially for the Sixth Princess. It was a nine-story building and the tallest building in Kaifeng."

Shi Jieren explained, "There is a thousand-year-old cold jade platform on the roof. Back then, His Majesty asked a master to set up a spirit-gathering array there. Cultivating there can make one achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"How can I get to the Star-Picking Tower?"

Liang Shan pressed for more information.

"This is my waist token. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Star-Picking Tower."

Shi Jieren smiled, took out a jade pendant from his pocket, and handed it to Liang Shan.
