But the change was obvious . She was more confident and had more pride .
Wei Yuan was confused . It had only been ten days or more, and yet she had changed so much .
But when he thought back about what Feng Jin had said the day before, he stopped being so suspicious .
When someone had faced death, no matter how dimwitted they were, they would smarten up . Liu Lanting had undergone significant changes, and with her father teaching her, the changes would be obvious .
Of course, no matter how Wei Yuan wracked his brains, he would not realize that his student’s soul was a different one .
“When Zhongqing was still young, he would always talk about teaching others . He had said that each person was different and a mentor should observe their students . A teacher should help their students grow . What they were weak at, we should help them, and what they were strong in, we should encourage them . From what I’m seeing now, I am not as observant as your father . ” Wei Yuan had said that sincerely . His expression was embarrassed and real . He was being truthful .
Jiang Pengji quickly restrained herself and had a different impression of Wei Yuan .
She knew that if she did not have Liu Xi’s memories as her basis, she would have not passed Wei Yuan’s test . Liu Xi’s grades were not bad, and Wei Yuan did have a hand in it, but not all the credit belonged to him .
Qiguan Rang sat quietly to the side and watched the other two interact . To be exact, he was observing Jiang Pengji .

He felt that the boy was very interesting, as Jiang Pengji was obviously not a nice person, and yet she was trying her best to show that she was harmless .
Interesting . Definitely interesting .
When Jiang Pengji left, Wei Yuan still looked troubled while Qiguan Rang calmly drank tea .
Once he was done watching his future father-in-law, he spoke up .
“You’re sad for Liu Lanting?”
“Of course . If I were to continue teaching him, I might lead him astray . But if I wash my hands off of him…” Wei Yuan admitted .
The last few words were mumbled .
“What’s so hard about this? You resigned and Liu Lanting will just have to look for another teacher . ” Qiguan Rang smiled .
“No . The Lius have treated me well . What I just did seems ungrateful . ” Wei Yuan shook his head .

Qiguan Rang thought of something and smirked inwardly . His idea may be exactly what someone was hoping for .
“In that case…” He thought for a bit before suggesting, “You have many friends . Surely you know of someone who could be Liu Lanting’s teacher? If you state your reason and that you couldn’t bear to hinder Liu Lanting’s studies, then you could recommend a teacher that suits his temperament . By then, the Lius would not misunderstand you, and they might even praise you for being broad-minded . ”
Wei Yuan considered Qiguan Rang’s suggestion and a name flashed through his mind .
“That’s a good idea . I do have someone in mind,” Wei Yuan said, but hesitated . “No, no . That person may be suitable, but he’s eccentric . With Lanting’s personality, if he went to him, he would suffer . ”
Qiguan Rang was curious . Who would cause Wei Yuan to react this way? “Who is it?”
“Langye’s Yuan Jing,” Wei Yuan replied .
In the educational world, Wei Yuan was one of the best teachers . If he were to recommend a teacher, he could not choose someone with a reputation lower than his, or it may seem like he was passing the responsibility off to someone else .
He could only think of Yuan Jing when he thought of a teacher who was better than him, best suited for Liu Lanting’s personality and had ethics .
“Langye’s master Yuan Jing?” Qiguan Rang mumbled bewilderedly .
Qiguan Rang admired two people in Dongqing: one was Hejian’s Liu She, and the other was Langyes’ Yuan Jing .
Qiguan Rang was from a poor and humble family, and he was of mixed origins . There was no way he could just visit Liu She . As for Yuan Jing, he was a teacher well respected by all .
There were some students who would pray to his longevity tablet before their exam, hoping for some sort of blessing .
Wei Yuan nodded his head and said, “Wei Yuan and I were schoolmates, and in recent years, we have been communicating . If I were to tell him everything that had happened, he might take Lanting under his wing for me . Even if Lanting could not study under Wei Yuan, at least he could study in one of Langye’s academies . There are countless scholars taught by Yuan Jing in Langye . Any one of them teaching Lanting is better than him studying alone . ”
When he thought of that, Wei Yuan felt relieved .
“If it’s Langye’s master Yuan Jing, I’m sure the Lius will be happy . ” Qiguan Rang gave a grim smile .
“There’s no one better than Yuan Jing in the whole of Dongqing and the five countries,” Wei Yuan said .
Yuan Jing had spent some years in northern Xinjiang debating; he contended for the three cities for Dongqing and won . Wei Yuan was nowhere near his level .
Elsewhere, Jiang Pengji seemed to have known about that and was elated .
Her viewers noticed and felt that she had a smile like that of a cat that caught the canary .
Canghai Yishengxiao: “Every time I see the host’s bright smile, I always feel like something bad is about to happen . ”
Hongjun Laozude Juhua: “Something bad? To be more exact, it’s bad for others, but good for the host . ”
Since the stream had started, no one had yet to see Jiang Pengji suffer any losses .
At most, she stumbled a few times, but they were all because she allowed it .
Jiang Pengji hopped off the carriage and saw a magpie . “A magpie . It seems like something good is about to happen . ”
Lancui Yu Buzhe: “Every time I see the host act mysterious, I find her to be a pain in the ass . ”
The viewers had no idea what was she happy about and started grumbling .
“Don’t rush . You’ll find out in two days,” Jiang Pengji replied calmly .
She did not have much intention to head over to Langye for her studies . But since she had decided that she would become emperor, naturally she would need to make preparations .
Go big or go home .
