Ren Baqian met Qing Lian the next day.
He was giving a lesson to the new students when Shi Hu came in to report, "Sir, someone is looking for you. It's a woman from Great Xia, and she looks pretty! "
"Someone from Great Xia? Looking for me? "Ren Baqian thought for a while and asked," Did she tell me why she's here? "
The person from Great Xia looking for him should be sent by Su Qing.
"She said that she has some news to inform you," Shi Hu replied.
Ren Baqian looked at the time. The next lesson was about to start and said, "Find a place to let her wait for a while."
After a while, Shi Hu brought Qing Lian to the courtyard, pointed at her feet, and said, "Wait here."
He then stood aside and scanned Qing Lian's body from head to toe.
Qing Lian's eyes twitched a few times. At least find a room with a chair and tea, but he actually made her wait in the courtyard?
Also, this damned guy next to her looked as if he wanted to strip her naked.
Coupled with that shameless old thief from yesterday, Qing Lian was sure that everyone in the academy was shameless.
She had seen two people like this, which showed the atmosphere in the academy. As the saying went, "Follow the example of your superiors." What kind of person could Ren Baqian be?
In addition, he actually made her wait in the courtyard under the sun, which made Qing Lian even more dissatisfied. Especially as time passed, this resentment continued to intensify.
But soon, her attention was attracted by a clear voice coming from the classroom.
"Energy will not disappear out of thin air, nor will it be produced out of thin air. It will only transform from one form to another, or transfer from one object to another. In the process of transformation and transfer, the total amount of energy remains the same."
"Let me give you the simplest example. Eating is absorbing the energy in food and transforming it into essence blood. During a fight, essence blood will be consumed, so after a fight, one has to eat food to replenish the energy in the body. "
"Teacher, the energy obtained from eating food is obviously not as much as the energy from the food itself. For example, the sharp-toothed tiger can reach the Kismet Heaven level. If a Four-way Heaven person eats a Kismet Heaven animal, he won't be able to reach the Kismet Heaven level. "
Qing Lian was very interested in the conversation in the classroom. She subconsciously took a few steps forward to listen more clearly.
"That's because the energy will dissipate. When an animal died, its body could no longer be controlled, and the energy contained in its body would begin to dissipate. Especially the energy contained in blood essence, which dissipated extremely quickly. After that, this energy would return to the world and drift in the air, and be absorbed by people, animals, or plants.
It was just like how crops grew exceptionally well after a rotting corpse was buried underground.
The energy in the cells would dissipate more slowly. This was because the cells would not die immediately. Instead, they would die in batches over time. While the cells were still alive, the energy would not immediately dissipate.
However, it also consumed energy to maintain the survival of these cells. Therefore, as time passed, the energy in the cells would gradually decrease.
Everything in the world is made up of energy. Every cell in those corpses is also made up of energy. This is why we can still replenish our energy by eating animal corpses. "
"Teacher, your words are too disgusting." Tong Lan immediately protested. Although it was true that eating meat was eating animal corpses, it still made them feel a little weird.
The energy dissipation that Ren Baqian was talking about was the research result of the Messier 87 department's laboratory. After obtaining the corpses of experts that Ren Baqian took away, the laboratory's research on the energy contained in the human body progressed very quickly. The research results were just right for this lecture.
"Another point is that we are also consuming energy all the time to maintain our own survival. At the same time, every movement we make consumes energy, even the simplest breathing … "
Ren Baqian then used the steam engine and swing that they were researching as examples to illustrate the transformation and transmission of energy, as well as the effects it would be affected.
Qing Lian, who was outside, was a little absent-minded. She was shocked by what Ren Baqian was talking about.
The content of Ren Baqian's lecture reminded her of the sword master and the spirit sword. The sword master used his lifespan to support the spirit sword. The more powerful the spirit sword and the more times it was used, the faster the sword master's lifespan would decrease.
Using precious herbs and minerals to nourish the sword could reduce the speed at which the sword master's lifespan decreased.
Speaking of which, there was a certain similarity with the conservation of energy that Ren Baqian had mentioned.
Although these things had long been recorded by various seniors, no one had ever explained them like Ren Baqian did.
His school didn't lecture on the classics and history of Great Xia Academy, the art of war, or the way of governing a country. Instead, it was explaining the fundamentals of this world! Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the things that he talked about were shocking enough.
Putting aside Ren Baqian's character, he is indeed capable. What Su Qing said before was right, Qing Lian thought to herself as she continued to listen to what Ren Baqian said.
Ren Baqian continued to talk about internal mechanics. Although she couldn't understand it, she still tried her best to memorize it.
Ren Baqian only saw her after the morning class was over.
However, she wasn't as anxious as she was at the beginning. Instead, she wanted to listen as much as possible.
When Ren Baqian came out of the classroom, he saw a girl in a gauze dress standing in the courtyard. Not far away, Shi Qing was standing guard at the side as if he was looking at a criminal.
He waved at the two of them, turned around, and entered the office. In less than two minutes, Qing Lian was brought in.
Qing Lian carefully sized up the person sitting in the room. This was the famous gigolo, Qi Zixiao's lover, the poison warrior who killed tens of thousands of people in Great Xia and destroyed the entire Nine Pavilions. There was also the principal who had just given a lecture that surprised her.
Compared to the aboriginals, he was still skinny, but compared to the Great Xia people, he was already very strong. His face was angular, and he wore a silver and blue robe with cloud patterns. He didn't look like the gigolo that she had imagined.
She then swept her gaze to the corner of the room. Sure enough, the corpse that she saw yesterday was no longer there.
Thinking about what she saw at the wine shop last night, Qing Lian felt that there was definitely something wrong. However, she was more interested in Ren Baqian now.
While Qing Lian was sizing him up, Ren Baqian was also sizing her up. Her appearance wasn't important. The most important thing was her pair of eyes, which were attractive and unforgettable.
"Take a seat. How should I address you?" Ren Baqian asked after sizing her up.
"Qing Lian," Qing Lian replied casually.
"What kind of news are you going to send me?"
Qing Lian retracted her gaze from the corner of the room, took out a letter from her bosom, and placed it on the table. "The crown prince of Great Xia has ascended to the throne and is currently transferring troops to Tiesuo Pass. Su Qing hopes that you can defeat this batch of Great Xia soldiers as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you drag on for too long, there will be many variables when the new troops finish their training."
Ren Baqian picked up the letter on the table, opened it, and read it carefully before saying, "Thank you for sending this letter. If you are not in a hurry, you can tour around Lan City for a few days. "
After finishing her sentence, Qing Lian calculated in her mind and said, "I unintentionally overheard Principal Ren's lecture just now. Please forgive me."
"It's alright. Lectures are meant for people to listen to," Ren Baqian replied indifferently.
Qing Lian had an idea and said, "I have an abrupt request. I will be staying in Lan City for a few days. I wonder if I can listen to a lecture at Black Bamboo Academy? I am willing to exchange treasures for it."
Before she came, she wanted to ask Ren Baqian if he had any news about Ning Caichen. However, her mind was currently focused on what Ren Baqian was talking about. As for Ning Caichen … it would be best if she could meet him, but it didn't matter if she didn't. Instead, what the person in front of her was talking about was more important.
She knew that this request was too abrupt. Even an ordinary private school in Great Xia wouldn't allow anyone to listen to a lecture. Moreover, the things that the other party was talking about were obviously very important. They were far from what those private schools and academies were talking about. It was impossible for the other party to teach her so easily.
More importantly, the other party wasn't an ordinary person or an ordinary official. Ordinary things might not be able to move him.
However, no matter what, she wanted to give it a try.
"Oh?" Ren Baqian had a faint smile on his face. If the other party wanted to listen to his lecture for a few days, he didn't mind. In any case, the things that he was talking about were systematic. Even though a part of it was useful, it wouldn't be of much use.
He didn't expect the other party to eagerly send him treasures. In that case, he had no reason to reject her.
