It was like a spring jumping out of a mountain stream. Amidst the joy, it was filled with excitement.

Immediately after, exclamations sounded from time to time, each louder than the last. It was simply like a wave.

Senior Sister Chen actually made such a sound?

As Pang Tong listened, his eyes suddenly widened and a wretched smile appeared on his lips.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for the two of them to really “do” anything, but this voice was easy to let one’s imagination run wild. It made him involuntarily think of the few good sisters in the Spring Jade Pavilion who were panting shyly and nakedly.

However, as he listened, Pang Tong gradually felt a little jealous.

A strange sour feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

It was as if…

Not only had the unattainable goddess been taken by his friend, but he also had to stand guard at the door!

How unlucky!

After a long wait, the door finally creaked open and Lin Yan walked out with

Xiaozhi and Chen Yuan, chatting and laughing.

“You’re finally out!”

He stole a glance. Cough, cough. Their clothes were neat, and their actions were appropriate.

And yet..

Chen Yuan’s face was flushed red as she panted slightly. Her originally straight back seemed to have softened as she stared at Lin Yan. Her eyes were as bright as the stars, and the heat in them almost melted Lin Yan.

Could mathematics really be discussed like this?

Pang Gong’s face was filled with doubt.

Chen Yuan nodded at him and praised, “Junior Brother Pang, I should thank you for your persistence. Mr. Lin is a rare mathematics master in the world. Geometry, algebra, calculus… There are actually so many profound and charming theories in mathematics.

“As expected, I was too shallow. The study of mathematics is indeed a higher and more endless path than martial arts.”

As Senior Sister Chen spoke, she obviously recalled something, and she fell into deep thought with an expression of yearning.

Pang Tong smiled apologetically. “As long as you’re happy, Senior Sister!’

Chen Yuan came back to her senses and sighed slightly. “Mr. Lin, actually, 500 copper coins a lesson is not worthy of your knowledge at all. Even one tale of silver for one lesson is not enough. Unfortunately, more than half of my salary has been deducted. I can’t take out any more money. I can only let you suffer.”

Pang Tong’s scalp went numb.

What?

One tale of silver for one lesson?

This was probably the price for his father to personally teach martial arts lessons, right?

Senior Sister Chen, are you going to learn mathematics?

Are you trying to provide for Junior Brother Lin?!

Lin Yan coughed. “Senior Sister Chen, it doesn’t matter if it’s money or not. 500 copper coins per class is more than enough. It’s our collective luck to be able to pass on this mathematics knowledge and bring it to greater heights!”

“That makes sense! ”

“You’re welcome.”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Chen Yuan thought of something and said to Pang Tong, “Junior Brother Pang, you’ve helped me so much. I’ll agree to the business you told me last time!’

Pang Tong was still confused at first, but when he heard that, he almost laughed out loud and said excitedly, ‘Thank you, Senior Sister Chen! Thank you so much!”

“Business…”

Lin Yan looked at Pang Tong in understanding. No wonder Pang Tong was so concerned.

“Senior Sister Chen, we’ll take our leave first!”

“Let’s go. Mr. Lin, you should rest early too. According to the time we agreed on, I’ll welcome you.”

“Senior Sister Chen, you’re too polite.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Yan and Pang Tong bade farewell.

The two of them walked out together. Pang Tong was in a good mood. His eyes immediately widened until they almost lit up as he stared at Lin Yan. “Junior Brother Lin, what kind of bewitching soup did you use to make Senior Sister Chen fall for you?’

“There’s no bewitching soup. I just relied on my true talent to make Senior Sister Chen acknowledge me.”

“I don’t believe it. What true talent can make people make that sound? If I didn’t know you a little better, I would have thought that you used some despicable method to take advantage of Senior Sister Chen.

Lin Yan said speechlessly, “Senior Brother Pang, please respect yourself.”

Pang Tong clicked his tongue. “Senior Sister Chen delayed her martial arts cultivation because she was learning mathematics and wasting her martial arts talent.

“Now, she’s getting more and more obsessed. She actually gave you a lesson of 500 copper coins. She even ridiculously said that mathematics is far superior to martial arts. Hehe, how can mathematics compare to martial arts?’

“Ridiculous?”

Lin Yan shook his head. Recalling Senior Sister Chen’s sincere eyes and expression just now, he couldn’t help but sigh. “There’s a reason for everything in the world. There’s also a path to mathematics. Only a pure-hearted person like Senior Sister Chen, who is also a unique genius, can see the path of mathematics that is endless.

“As for you, Senior Brother Pang, and a mortal like me, we naturally only saw

500 copper coins. This is something more realistic.”

Pang Tong rolled his eyes. “Don’t pretend to be obedient after taking advantage of me. 500 copper coins for a lesson. 30 days a month. Isn’t that 15 taels of silver?

‘Your mouth is simply made of gold!

“Very few Strength Realm martial artists can earn so much. Junior Brother Lin, how are you going to thank me?’

“Senior Brother Pang’s calculations are wrong. Each class is two hours, but it’s not every day. I only teach it once every four to five days. Moreover, this little bit of money I earn is nothing compared to Senior Brother Pang and Senior Sister Chen’s business, right?’

Pang Tong coughed twice. “Junior Brother Lin, let’s not say anything unnecessary. We’re helping each other and benefiting each other!’

“Senior Brother Pang is right. We have a tacit understanding.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They were happy and agreed to find a time to drink together. Then, they returned to the Instruction Yard and parted ways.

After traveling alone, Lin Yan gently comforted Xiaozhi, who was already asleep. Only then could he not suppress the joy in his heart and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

Earning money was not embarrassing.

In front of Senior Sister Chen, he did his best to explain the mathematics system in his memory. He shocked Senior Sister Chen on the spot. He really had the aura of a king.

Although Senior Sister Chen was a woman, she was a true mathematics genius.

When it came to calculus, Lin Yan had forgotten the details and remembered the gist. However, Senior Sister Chen instantly understood the essence of calculus and completely admired him.

Of course, the most important thing was the salary.

He naturally did not tell the truth in front of Pang Tong. The frequency of the lesson was not once every four to five days, but once every two days.

In fact, what Senior Sister Chen wanted was to attend class once a day.

However, Lin Yan considered that he was an assistant instructor now and had missions every day. He still had to practice martial arts, so he changed it to once every two days.

Once every two days, it would only take two hours. Each time, it would pay him 500 copper coins. Fifteen times a month, that would be seven and a half taels of silver!

Including the monthly salary equivalent to eight taels, his monthly income had actually reached an astonishing fifteen and a half taels!

Thinking back to a month or two ago, he could only earn 300 copper coins even if he worked himself to death for a month. Lin Yan felt as if a lifetime had passed.

“Both ways, I’m clearly earning money through mathematics, but the difference is 25 times… ‘

This was the benefit of having a powerful backer.

No matter how good he was in mathematics, if he did not have the backing of Dragon Gate Pavilion, he would only be squeezed and exploited.

Now, everything was going well.

Lin Yan patted Xiaozhi’s back and said softly, “Xiaozhi, from tomorrow onwards, we’ll eat meat every day! We’ll eat meat every meal!”

In her sleep, Xiaozhi seemed to have heard Lin Yan’s voice. The moonlight on her face gradually relaxed, and the corners of her lips curled up into a sweet smile..
