Chapter 797: Becoming Kaguya's Teacher?

The conversation between Lingyun and Yagokoro Eirin did not last long, and after finishing her talk with Lingyun, Yagokoro Eirin hurried away, evidently to look after Kaguya.

From beginning to end, the two held their conversation within the Pot World. After all, Yagokoro Eirin's current identity was somewhat special; she was a Sage of the Moon Capital and should normally reside there. Her sudden appearance on the surface—a place the Moon People dismissed as filthy—was in itself something easily prone to suspicion. If Kaguya's identity were exposed because of her, there would inevitably be endless trouble knocking at their door. And this was a situation Yagokoro Eirin absolutely did not want to see.

Lingyun's figure appeared once again inside the Bamboo House, and he sat back down on the bamboo chair with a leisurely expression, analyzing the intelligence he had gained during his conversation with Yagokoro Eirin.

Although Lingyun had already obtained quite a bit of information about this world from Zhuweng, Zhuweng was, after all, only an ordinary person, and the information he could obtain was quite limited. As a powerhouse who had existed for who knows how many years, Yagokoro Eirin knew countless secrets of this world. From her, Lingyun had indeed learned a great deal of news regarding this world.

At the end of the Age of Gods, many deities had indeed left behind various contingencies to ensure their own survival. Among them, some succeeded, while others failed. Those who succeeded hid in certain places, lingering on in a precarious state, while those who failed were completely reduced to dust, vanishing from the world. The general trend of history was that terrifying; even if all the gods and Buddhas of that time had combined their strength, they could not have resisted it, and were instead ground to pieces.

Speaking of those who succeeded, one must mention the god Shinki. During the Golden Age of the gods, Shinki was already considered one of the most powerful individuals, and when the end of the gods arrived, she used her own strength to open up the Demon World, becoming the master of a Small World, thereby avoiding the arrival of the Twilight of the Gods.

With Shinki as an example, there were naturally many who followed suit. Among these people, Tsukuyomi could be considered a relatively successful one. Of course, she did not have the power as great as Shinki's to open up a world, so she took a different path, taking her people far away from the earth to establish a brand-new kingdom on the moon: the Moon Capital. After paying various prices, she severed the connection between the Moon Capital and the surface, becoming a Moon Person.

"Tsukuyomi, huh? Perhaps I'll have to meet her in the future." Lingyun tapped the tabletop lightly, wondering what he was thinking. "However, I would like to see just how strong Tsukuyomi, one of the Three Noble Children of this world, really is!"

As he spoke, Lingyun casually wrote a few names on the table. The Flower Tyrant Kazami Yuuka, the Sage of Youkai Yakumo Yukari, and the ghost of the Huaxu, Saigyouji Yuyuko—perhaps he could go and meet these three figures.

"Among them, the easiest one to meet should be that young lady of the Saigyouji Clan; I wonder if she has become a ghost yet." Lingyun's fingers tapped the table lightly. "As long as I find Saigyouji Yuyuko, finding the Sage of Youkai will not be a difficult task. As for the final one, Kazami Yuuka, I can just ask that Sage of Youkai, Yakumo Yukari, who fears nothing but chaos in the world. Perhaps I won't even need to ask; Yakumo Yukari might just send the person to me herself."

Lingyun thought for a moment, casually wiped the handwriting off the table, and looked at the sky; the moon tonight seemed brighter and rounder than any before!

Some time had passed since his conversation with Yagokoro Eirin, and during this period, Lingyun had also gone out to inquire about news regarding the Saigyouji Clan, but there had been no reply yet.

Lingyun was currently leaning back on a bamboo chair, clutching a bamboo scroll in his hand. Although his gaze was on the scroll, his spirit was focused on the six Light Balls beside him. If anyone could see the flow of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi right now, they would discover that the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of this world was pouring continuously toward these six Light Balls. And Lingyun was using the assistance of these six Light Balls to analyze the laws of this world.

"Mr. Lingyun." Just at this moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Lingyun looked up and saw that the person who had come was his old friend, Zhuweng.

Compared to before, Zhuweng's appearance had changed quite significantly. The clothes Zhuweng had originally worn were quite tattered and had been worn for who knows how long, but now the clothes on Zhuweng were brand new, and both the style and material were vastly different from before. Compared to before, Zhuweng's complexion was also much better. Overall, compared to the previous Zhuweng, his life could be described as being in heaven versus being in hell.

"So it is Zhuweng, long time no see. It seems your life has been quite good recently!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Perhaps it is thanks to that child; my life has indeed been getting better and better during this time." Hearing Lingyun say this, a trace of a smile also appeared on Zhuweng's face.

"Is there something you need, coming to see me today, Zhuweng?" Lingyun asked.

Hearing Lingyun's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhuweng's face.

"I have indeed come here today because there is something I would like to ask for your help with, sir."

"Oh? I wonder what it is that you need my help with, old man?" Lingyun asked with some curiosity.

"You are no ordinary person, sir, and must be highly learned. I am thick-skinned enough to ask you to take my daughter as a student and teach her to read and write, so as not to let her status go to waste." Zhuweng bowed to Lingyun and said.

In this current era, education had not yet been popularized to the grassroots level as it would be in later generations. The educational resources of this era could be said to be entirely monopolized by those high-ranking officials and nobles; for others to touch this area was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Although Zhuweng's life had improved greatly under Yagokoro Eirin's secret help, education was still something he could not touch for the time being. Coupled with Kaguya's own special nature, this was why Zhuweng had come to beg Lingyun.

"Teach Kaguya to read?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow, a trace of amusement appearing in his eyes. "However, wouldn't it be too early to hire a teacher for Kaguya now?"

"This... as you said before, sir, Kaguya is not an ordinary person, and the current Kaguya has indeed reached the age where she can attend a private school," Zhuweng said with some helplessness.

"So that's how it is." Lingyun nodded slightly; Kaguya herself possessed the ability of Manipulation of Eternity and the Instant, so it would not be difficult for her to accelerate her own growth in a short period of time.

"Since that is the case, Zhuweng can bring Kaguya to me tomorrow, and I will arrange the curriculum that Kaguya needs to study," Lingyun said, closing the bamboo scroll.

Hearing Lingyun's words, Zhuweng was overjoyed, and he thanked Lingyun, nodding: "I thank you on behalf of Kaguya, sir."

Watching Zhuweng leave with a look of joy, Lingyun also felt a trace of anticipation for his meeting with Kaguya tomorrow. To be honest, he also wanted to see what little Kaguya looked like.
