Chapter 5 – The Earth is round! (2/2)

“The human race is actually not the creation of god. That is merely a mythology. The human race is due to the evolution of apes. This is what was written on the theory of evolution.” (GK Ed. my inner biologist is crying!!! We didn’t evolve from Apes…)

What is the theory of evolution? The scholar already did not want to know about it. He was only shocked about the thirteenth prince’s opinion. That was a type of questioning towards god, and therefore he immediately began to correct the thirteenth prince.

Just that, during the time when the scholar was correcting the thirteenth prince and explaining to him that he must not question the existence of god, the thirteenth prince once again raised a question.

“Why can’t I question it? Did you all before ever see god? Are you all sure that god really exists?”

This caused the scholar to immediately start packing his stuff and left, he was afraid that if he was to stay here and teach the thirteenth prince, he would get pulled into an enormous mess.

The following scholars were also met with a similar situation. For example, the prince saying that the Earth is actually not flat but instead round. Just that this round Earth was just too big and that no one was able to feel it or see it.

In addition, the thirteenth prince also said that the sun was actually a kind of huge fireball star and that the Earth was encircling and spinning around the sun, and that the sun was not encircling and spinning around the Earth, as it was believed.

With regards to the people in this world, everything that the thirteenth prince said, was simply going against the existence of god. If this was to be known by the church, they would definitely send punitive forces against the thirteenth prince. Even if a child’s words carried no harm, there would still be a reaction to some extent.

Therefore, after knowing this situation, all of those scholars immediately got away from the thirteenth prince. After all, they would definitely not want to invite disaster onto themselves.

After Ye Cheng Tian and his wife knew about this, their complexion also changed. They unanimously decided to not hire anymore scholars to teach the thirteen prince. If this little thirteenth prince was to once again say out some astonishing theory, what kind of disaster would happen then?

Just that, they were very baffled about one point – “Cheng Tian, where do you think he learnt all of these messy thing? From the time he was born, he hasn’t even taken a step out of the house.” Long An Qi was very baffled. Because of the specialness of her own son, up till now, he still hadn’t left the Ye Residence, and absolutely should not have been able to come into contact with such issues.

“That’s right, from small till now, apart from us and those few servant girls looking after him, there was only……” Ye Cheng Tian was very baffled and just as he was speaking, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

“Ye Lan Yu!!”

“What is it?” Little Lan Yu looked at her own parents puzzled. She felt that her parents seemed to be a bit angry, and therefore started thinking of what she had done wrong today.

“You little troublemaker! Forget about you usually being mischievous, how could you tell your little brother about those kinds of messy things? You know perfectly well that he does not know how to judge what is true or false, and no matter what you said, he would just believe it.”

“What?” Little Lan Yu did not understand, and what she did not understand was which matter they were talking about?

Obviously, this was already not the first time that she had deceived her own little brother.

However, after she knew the whole entire matter, she affirmably said in one sentence –

“Dad, mom, I really didn’t do it this time!!”

The crisis this time made Ye Cheng Tian and his wife temporary give up on the plan to raise the thirteenth prince into a scholar. In the future, they would just let the thirteenth prince read books alone, to prevent his astonishing opinions from appearing once again.

For this, they specially gathered quite a few books which consists of various kinds of content. Of course, within all these, there was not a single ‘argumentative’ book.

Since being a scholar was out of the question, why not go and try for others types of careers, for example attempting to be the empire’s feudal lord, since this was something that the thirteenth prince would have to do sooner or later. Although, when the time comes, it may not necessarily be the thirteenth prince himself that would personally take over, but rather there would be people in the Ye Family helping him out.
