Although Nangong Waner didn't seem to be in tune with normal times, he was actually more soft-hearted and kind than anyone else. He treated his elders with great care and etiquette, and treated Elder Xiu with utmost respect.

So at this time, Nangong Waner gritted his teeth and completed the mission given by the Elder Xiu with his breath, then ran ten laps around the Prince Zhan's Mansion.

In the end, Nangong Waner really did crawl back to the bamboo forest study room. Elder Xiu, when looking at Nangong Waner's current appearance, really looked like he was terminally ill, but at the end, he still couldn't stand it. He never thought that Nangong Waner would look so out of place, but he would really grit his teeth and run ten rounds around him. He never thought that he would treat Nangong Waner so harshly. Other than playing a little tricks on him, who wanted to skip class, Nangong Waner did not resist or complain at all.

Elder Xiu got up and poured some water for Nangong Waner, letting him rest for a while, ”Let's rest for an hour, after an hour, we will examine the content of the second chapter of the《 Secret History of Qingqiu》 that was arranged for you last night.”

Originally, Elder Xiu pitied her a little and even poured water for her. Nangong Waner had thought that this would probably shock the old man, but he didn't expect that the Elder Xiu would still be thinking about what he should do next. He couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

An hour later, Elder Xiu especially punctually called Nangong Waner over to take his homework. Nangong Waner thought that she was extremely intelligent and had indeed read the history of the war in chapter II carefully.

But who would have known that the Elder Xiu's questions were very tricky? The Elder Xiu asked her, ”Did the Godly Monarch with underworld learn various secret arts when he fell to the Path of Demon?”

Nangong Waner, ”...”

The Elder Xiu continued to ask, ”What are the techniques the couple of Qingqiu Secret Realm are proficient in?”

Nangong Waner, ”...”

Nangong Waner could not help but perspire from his forehead, ”Master, are you sure your questions haven't gone awry?”

”I have always taught you to need to have the ability to learn on your own. You should always be curious about questions that you do not understand.”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Waner's hand had eaten more than a few pieces of meat. Nangong Waner endured it and did not say anything, but in his heart, it was not easy.

When they were eating at night, although Nangong Waner was very tired and hungry, he wasn't in his best condition. He lowered his head and didn't have much appetite. Prince Zhan knew that Nangong Waner had been tired all day and felt very pained. He scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Nangong Waner's mouth.

Nangong Waner looked at the gentleness in Prince Zhan's eyes and started to shed tears again, feeling extremely wronged. However, he silently shed tears, as each drop fell into the soup, Nangong Waner drank the soup that was filled with tears.

Nangong Waner had some face as he lowered his head and diligently ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

Not long later, Nangong Waner stood up and said that he was done eating before returning back to the courtyard.

When Prince Zhan saw this, his heart ached. He turned around and looked at Elder Xiu, frowning, his expression overcast as he said, ”It's not like I want her to lead the army to rule the country. Why do you care so much about her?”

Elder Xiu disagreed with Prince Zhan's words, ”You always knew that my treatment is strict and my requirements are harsh. Furthermore, in the future, she will bear a heavy responsibility, so naturally, I will be responsible for her clansmen and Qingqiu. ” The first half of the sentence was from the heart of Elder Xiu, while the second half was more or less to probe the meaning of Prince Zhan's words.
