Report

Soon, the commotion caused by the thirteenth young master's memory slowly disappeared. After all, a person's memory couldn't make up for some of his shortcomings.

Now, something else had replaced it.

At this time, the thirteenth young master was in the middle of making a major decision in his life. It was about how he should develop in the future and what kind of job he should take. Be it a scholar, a civil servant, or something else.

As for why it was a job, it was very simple. No one thought that the thirteenth young master would take up a job, nor would they let him do it. They just needed a job in name. To put it simply, it was just a matter of reputation.

Of course, this decision was made by his parents. This problem was also a headache for Ye Chengtian and his wife. They didn't know how to deal with this matter.

With the thirteenth young master's memory, it wasn't difficult for him to become a knowledgeable scholar, although he might not be able to tell others what he knew.

However, Ye Chengtian and his wife didn't need him to tell others anything. Therefore, they invited a famous scholar to teach the thirteenth young master.

Just like that, something strange happened. After teaching for a period of time, the scholar immediately resigned from Ye Chengtian and his wife. He asked them to find someone better, citing that he wasn't capable enough to teach the thirteenth young master.

At first, the couple thought that the thirteenth young master was stupid and that the scholar couldn't teach him. Therefore, they had no choice but to find someone else. This time, it was another famous scholar.

This time, it was even faster. In less than three days, the scholar made the same request and asked the Ye Family to find someone else.

After that, a few more scholars followed. None of them could persist, and the time they lasted was getting shorter and shorter. In the end, the last one only lasted for half a day before he said to the couple with a look of fear on his face, as though he was on the verge of breaking down.

Your son is a genius. I can't teach him. I'm afraid only God has the ability to do so.

This situation made Ye Chengtian and his wife feel that something was wrong. No matter how stupid they were, these scholars clearly knew about the situation before coming. Therefore, they would definitely have the corresponding countermeasures. They shouldn't have left in less than half a day.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the scholars would get stronger and stronger, so the time they lasted should increase. Why did it get shorter and shorter instead?

Therefore, with this confusion, Ye Chengtian and his wife went to coax the Thirteenth Young Master. They wanted to know what had happened between him and the scholars to make them behave so strangely.

After Ye Chengtian and his wife got the answer, they immediately gave up on the idea of hiring more scholars. Similarly, they no longer asked the 13th young master to become a nominal scholar.



"Thirteenth Young Master, let us first understand the origin of the continent today. Before the divine calendar, there were no living creatures on earth. God descended upon this world and gave life to the earth. He also created humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and other intelligent life forms."

"Among the many races, we humans are the race closest to God. Because God created us based on his own body, we are the most intelligent of all the races …"

When the Scholar proudly proclaimed the superiority of his race, the Thirteenth Prince, who was listening by the side, stared blankly for a while. Then, he made a comment.

"Humans were not created by God. That is just a myth. Humans evolved from apes. This is what is written in the theory of evolution."

The Scholar no longer wanted to know what the theory of evolution was. He was only shocked by the Thirteenth Young Master's words. It was a form of questioning God. Therefore, he immediately corrected him.

However, when he corrected him and said that the existence of God could not be questioned, the Thirteenth Young Master raised another question. Why not? Have you seen God? Are you sure that God really exists?

This made the Scholar immediately pack up and leave. He was afraid that if he continued, he would be trapped.

The next few Scholars encountered similar situations. For example, the Thirteenth Young Master said that the earth was not flat but a sphere. It was just that this sphere was too big, so they could not feel it.

Also, he said that the sun was a huge fireball called a star. They were all revolving around the sun, not the other way around.

To the people of this world, these were completely overthrowing the existence of God. If the Church knew about this, they would definitely punish them immediately. Even children's words would not carry any harm.

Therefore, after finding out about this situation, those Scholars immediately left. They did not want to cause trouble for themselves.

After Ye Chengtian and his wife found out about this, their expressions also changed. They unanimously decided not to invite the Scholar over. If the Thirteenth Young Master said another shocking theory, it would be terrible.

However, they were very curious about one thing — — "Chengtian, where do you think he learned about all this nonsense? He has never left his house since he was young?" Long Anqi was very confused. Her youngest son had never left the Ye Residence because of his special status. It was impossible for him to have come into contact with all these random things.

"Yeah, since he was young, other than us, there were only a few maids taking care of him, and that's …" Ye Chengtian was also very confused, and as he spoke, he thought of a possibility.

"Ye Lan Yu!"

"What?" Little Blue Rain looked at her parents in confusion. She realized that her parents seemed to be a little angry, so she thought about what she had done wrong today.

"You little troublemaker, it's fine if you're usually naughty, but why did you tell your brother those random things? You know that he won't be able to judge whether it's true or false, and he'll believe whatever you say."

"What?" Little Blue Rain didn't understand. What she didn't understand was, which one were you talking about?

It was obvious that she had lied to her brother more than once.

However, after she found out about the whole thing, she said with certainty — —

"Dad, mom, I really didn't this time!"

This time, the disturbance caused Ye Chengtian and his wife to temporarily give up on this plan to raise a scholar. In the future, they would let the Thirteenth Young Master read alone to avoid shocking public opinion.

For this reason, they had specially collected a lot of books. There were all kinds of books. Of course, there were definitely no 'reactionary' books among them.

Since he couldn't be a scholar, he would try something else. He would try to be the lord of an empire. This was something he would do sooner or later. Although he might not be the one to take up the post, the Ye Family would have someone to watch over him.
