"Sister Honghua, Sister Dongmei, it's been hard on you.”Jian Chen said softly as he looked at the two girls.
These two girls were the maids of the Changyang clan. They were the ones who attended to Jian Chen's daily affairs. Since Jian Chen had moved into a room by himself, his mother Bi Yuntian had specially sent these two maids to attend to him.
Hearing Jian Chen's words, the two maids smiled sweetly. One of them said,"Fourth Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. As maids, this is what we should do.”
"Yes, fourth young master, you must not say this in the future. If the chief hears your words, we will be severely punished.”Another maid said.
"Don't worry, I won't say that in front of outsiders." Jian Chen smiled.”Jian Chen understood that the hierarchy of the Changyang clan was very strong. As the fourth master of the clan, if anyone heard this, the two maids might really be punished.
After washing up, Jian Chen left his room and walked towards his mother's room as usual. His mother's room wasn't far from his own, only twenty meters away.
As soon as he entered the room, Jian Chen saw his mother dressing up on the dressing table with two maids serving her.
"Xiang 'er, why are you here so early today?”Seeing Jian Chen, Bi Yuntian's face revealed a gentle smile. She looked at Jian Chen with a doting gaze.
Seeing Bi Yuntian's doting gaze, Jian Chen's heart completely softened. In his previous life, Jian Chen had lost his parents when he was young, so he had never known what motherly love was. However, ever since he came here, he had truly felt the power of motherly love. At the same time, Jian Chen began to cherish this hard-earned motherly love.
Jian Chen walked up to Bi Yuntian and rubbed his belly. He smiled in embarrassment and said,"I'm hungry!" After the exercise from last night, Jian Chen's stomach was a bit hungry.
Bi Yuntian patted Jian Chen's head with a smile,"Then let's go to the dining hall to eat later.”
"Yes!" Jian Chen nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. However, he was enjoying his mother's care and concern.
Pausing, Jian Chen spoke again,"Mother!"
Bi Yuntian looked at Jian Chen gently,"Xiang 'er, if you have something to say, just say it!”
Jian Chen hesitated for a moment before organizing his thoughts. He looked at Bi Yuntian and said,"Mother, can you tell me what kind of world it is outside?”
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian was clearly stunned for a moment before saying,"Xiang 'er, are you interested in the outside world?”
"I'm just curious!" Jian Chen said.
Bi Yuntian smiled,"Xiang 'er, the outside world is extremely vast and complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a few words. If you want to know what the outside world is like, the best thing to do is to go to the library and read some books."”Bi Yuntian's face was filled with helplessness,"But Xiang 'er, you don't know how to read. Even if you go to the library, you won't be able to read a single word written on the books.”
"Mother, why didn't you send someone to teach me how to read?”Jian Chen's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian burst into laughter,"Xiang 'er, you're only two years old. I've never heard of a child learning how to read at two years old, and this has never happened on the Tian Yuan Continent before. Generally speaking, even the earliest children to learn how to read have to wait until they're four or five years old.”
"Mother, I want to learn how to read now. Can you find someone to teach me?" Jian Chen asked.”
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian was stunned for a moment before revealing a happy smile."Xiang 'er, learning how to read is a very difficult thing to do, and it's also very boring. You must know that there are many words on our continent, and it's not something that can be learned in a short period of time.”
Jian Chen nodded his head with certainty,"Yes!"
With Jian Chen's confirmation, Bi Yuntian's smile became even more radiant. She said happily,"Since Xiang 'er has taken the initiative to request it, this mother will support you.”Bi Yuntian turned her head slightly and said,"Xiao Liu! In a while, go and invite the most famous teacher in Lore City to my residence. Let him teach me how to read!”
"Yes, Madam!" The maid who was combing Bi Yuntian's hair replied respectfully.
"Xiang 'er, it's getting late. Let's go to the dining hall.”
A day passed by very quickly. The next morning, the teacher that Jian Chen's mother Bi Yuntian had invited arrived at the manor early in the morning to teach Jian Chen.
From then on, Jian Chen spent almost all of his time in the day reading. Because Jian Chen had retained the memories of his previous life, his mental fortitude was so strong that it wasn't difficult for him to read the words of the New World. Especially with the careful guidance of others, it was even easier for him. Moreover, he had a strong memory that could remember everything he saw, so his progress in learning words was extremely fast. In just a short three months, He had completely learned the common language of the continent.
Jian Chen's speed of learning the language had caused the teacher to be amazed. When his mother Bi Yuntian found out that Jian Chen had learned the language in just three months, she couldn't believe it. In the end, she had to personally test him before accepting this fact. After all, if she wanted to learn all the common languages on the continent, it would take at least one to two years or even more. In just three months, Jian Chen had completed a task that others would take a year or two to complete. Without the intelligence of a genius, it was impossible to complete.
Jian Chen's father, Changyang Ba, soon found out about this matter. Changyang Ba personally came to Jian Chen's room to visit him.
"Xiang 'er, you've worked hard during this period of time. Now, you should relax. Your father can also give you a reward for your hard work in learning to read these past few months.”Changyang Ba smiled at Jian Chen. With such a genius as his son, he felt extremely proud. Naturally, he was even more concerned about Jian Chen.
Hearing this, Jian Chen's eyes lit up. Without thinking, he said,"Father, why don't you let your child go to the library to read some books? It can also increase his knowledge.”
Changyang Ba's eyes lit up as he looked at Jian Chen with a gratified expression. He laughed,"Of course there's no problem. Xiang 'er, your father is very happy for you to have such an ambitious heart. I now approve that you can enter the library freely.”
"Thank you, Father!" Jian Chen also revealed a happy smile on his face. Being able to enter the library was something that Jian Chen was happy about. After all, during this period of time, he had slowly understood that the library pavilion was not a place that anyone could enter casually. Only direct line disciples who were six years old and above were qualified to enter. Of course, if they had obtained the permission of the family head, they would not be counted.
After that, Changyang Ba asked Jian Chen about his well-being before leaving. When Changyang Ba left, Jian Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately left the room and walked towards the library. After all, he had worked hard to read in the past three months just so that he could enter the library and read the books about this world. Although Jian Chen could ask his mother for some information about this world, the books were much more detailed and comprehensive. That was why Jian Chen valued these books so much.
Jian Chen had already heard about the location of the library. It was located in a tall tower in the backyard of the clan. The moment Jian Chen entered the courtyard, he immediately sensed that there were many experts hidden in the surroundings. Many pairs of eyes stared at him like vipers.
Jian Chen puffed out his chest and walked toward the tower as if he had not noticed anything. If anyone knew that he could sense the gazes of those hidden in the shadows, it would immediately attract a series of troubles for him. After all, he only looked like a two year old child, and he did not know any martial arts.
Although the Changyang clan had many direct descendants, the library was rarely visited. As a result, Jian Chen only saw a few guards on duty, and no one else.
Jian Chen quickly arrived at the entrance of the tower. He stopped in his tracks and raised his head slightly to see an extremely large plaque hanging on the entrance of the tower. On it were three large words,"Book Collection Pavilion". In front of the entrance, there were two guards guarding it. However, Jian Chen could tell with a glance that these guards were not weak.
Jian Chen walked straight to the entrance of the tower. Pushing the door open, he walked in. The two guards standing guard at the entrance did not stop him at all. They were like wooden statues, standing there without moving. When they saw Jian Chen, they did not even greet him.
When Jian Chen entered the tower, he saw a long corridor. It was clearly daytime outside and the sun was shining brightly, but the corridor was extremely dark. On both sides of the corridor, there were fist-sized luminous pearls at regular intervals to provide light.
The corridor was very long, and it probably ran through the entire tower, dividing the tower into two areas. When Jian Chen reached the end of the corridor, he saw two forks.
"Fourth young master, the patriarch has given the order that you have the authority to enter the left area.”At this moment, an old voice sounded. Following the voice, a tall figure gradually appeared in the darkness.
Hearing that, Jian Chen subconsciously turned his head to look. Even though the light here was very dim, he could clearly see the appearance of the person in the darkness. It was an extremely old man with a head full of white hair. His face was filled with wrinkles, and he wore an old gray robe. His eyes were ordinary, giving off the feeling of an extremely ordinary old man.
Although the old man looked extremely ordinary, Jian Chen did not dare to underestimate him. He could clearly feel that the old man was an extremely powerful expert, and he was the strongest person he had ever seen since he came to this world. Even his father, Changyang Ba, was far from being able to compare to the old man before him.
