Xun Zi's attitude was sincere and his words were approachable. He was not as arrogant as those people with lofty reputations.
Zhang Xuan looked at Xun Zi. The other party's reputation was definitely resounding. At this moment, he could actually humbly ask for advice like an ordinary student. Zhang Xuan could not help but think highly of him.
" As expected of Xun Zi from the original novel," Zhang Xuan praised in his heart.
Hearing this, Xun Zi was completely confused. What was a set of linear equations? It sounded mysterious and grand.
Zhang Xuan brought Xun Zi to his room and took out a few scrolls from the bookshelf, handing them to Xun Zi.
"The symbols on it are the numbers I created, starting from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0. There are also some calculation symbols. These are #@%#$^%*(*)" Zhang Xuan's face did not turn red, nor did his heart skip a beat. He claimed that all this knowledge that transcended the era was created by himself. Although it was a little barbaric, he believed that no one in this world had ever proposed these Arabic numbers and arithmetic symbols.
The simplest addition and subtract, then multiplication and division, and then some equations. Zhang Xuan told Xun Zi all these things in one go. Xun Zi's expression did not stop changing as Zhang Xuan explained. The horror in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and in the end, he even trembled with excitement.
After speaking for an hour, Zhang Xuan finally finished speaking. Looking at Xun Zi, who was so excited that he could not close his mouth, Zhang Xuan laughed secretly."I wonder how knowledgeable you are. This unprecedented knowledge is enough to shock anyone."
In fact, that was indeed the case. Xun Zi's heart was already in a state of shock. All his attention was focused on Zhang Xuan's books. His initial calmness had long since drifted to the clouds.
.........
"What?! "You said that Xunzi is going to stay at our house for the time being?" Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise and rubbed his ears, afraid that he had heard wrong.
" That's right, that old fellow Xun Zi. I just told him some things, but he seemed to have fallen into a trance. He's now in my room without eating or drinking," Zhang Xuan said with a chuckle.
Zhang Liang bitterly smiled. He hadn't expected such a change to occur, so he could only send someone to the inn where the scholarly faction was staying to inform the scholarly faction.
" Adding and Subtracting, this is great! With this, who would use those troublesome abacuses? And this multiplication formula, it's wonderful!"
"This equation seems ridiculous, but it's quite practical. We must remember it and let our scholarly faction promote it."
Xun Zi stayed in Zhang Xuan's room all day. Other than the servants who brought food in, he almost ignored everyone else. However, there was once when Fu Nian and Yan Lu went in to look for Xun Zi in confusion, interrupting Xun Zi's deep thoughts, causing his entire face to darken.
" You two fellows, get out of here. Don't get in my way." Zhang Xuan heard Xun Zi's roar and merciless reprimand from outside the door. After a while, Fu Nian and Yan Lu walked out after being scolded so badly that Zhang Xuan found it funny.
" Second brother, what did you show Xunzi? Why did such a strange change happen?" Zhang Liang looked at everything and was completely puzzled. Could it be that his second brother had given Xunzi some kind of bewitching drug?
" To be able to create all of this, Zhang Xuan is truly extremely intelligent. He is like a celestial being!" Xun Zi was completely convinced by Zhang Xuan. At the same time, he had a strong desire to bring Zhang Xuan into the Confucian school.
Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched as he looked at Xun Zi. He shook his head and said,""No, I already said that I won't go to the scholarly faction. My brother Zhang Liang will go."
" Little friend Zhang Xuan, you've misunderstood. With your intelligence, there's no one in the scholarly faction who can teach you. However, the things you've created are simply too shocking. I really want to incorporate them into the scholarly faction, so " Xun Zi made a pleading gesture, causing Fu Nian and Yan Lu's eyes to pop out from their sockets.
What was going on? Xun Zi, who had an extremely high status and knowledge, was actually asking for advice from an eight-year-old child. He was even putting on an extremely humble attitude. Everyone else was begging to enter their scholarly faction, but now it was the opposite. The two of them were very surprised.
" Zhang Xuan, my young friend, I know that you love martial arts. The Confucians are not weak scholars who only know how to read books. They also learn martial arts. You don't have to read books like others. You can even address me as your peer. That's not a problem at all," Xun Zi said as he looked at Zhang Xuan with a burning gaze. He could not treat Zhang Xuan as a junior since he was able to create such knowledge. If it were not for the huge age gap between them, Xun Zi would have thought that Zhang Xuan was a senior who was more knowledgeable than himself.
Xun Zi tried his best to persuade Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan's attitude was extremely firm. In the end, Xun Zi could only give Zhang Xuan a jade token.
When Fu Nian and Yan Lu saw the jade token that Xun Zi handed to Zhang Xuan, their expressions instantly turned into shock. This jade token wasn't worth much, but the symbolic meaning it represented was extraordinary. It was a jade token that only the Confucian Foreign Dignitaries could possess.
As long as one possessed this jade token, they would be considered an eternal friend of the scholarly faction. They could enter and leave the scholarly faction at any time, and they would also have a certain amount of authority in the scholarly faction. Even the scholarly faction's Sect Leader would have to treat a guest with a jade token with respect.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu looked at each other. They couldn't believe that Xun Zi had such high hopes for Zhang Xuan.
" A detailed explanation of inner force cultivation techniques," Zhang Xuan said in surprise.
