Chapter 17: The Way to Complete the Task, Attending Class

Inside the Ye Family's spacious and luxurious banquet hall,

The lights were brilliant, the atmosphere extraordinarily lively.

The adults sat around several tables,

chatting and laughing happily; the children formed their own table,

laughter and cheer rose and fell.

Only Ye Xiuxiu, absentminded, picked up a piece of delicious food with her chopsticks and slowly brought it to her mouth.

However, her thoughts were completely not on savoring the tasty dishes,

but were constantly thinking about how to smoothly complete that crucial task.

She mechanically chewed her food,

while her gaze continually swept over the many children present.

Watching their innocent, carefree appearance,

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but furrow her brows deeply.

Just then, Chen Gong Dong, sitting beside her, noticed Ye Xiuxiu's unusual expression,

and a hint of curiosity welled up in his heart.

"Xiuxiu sister, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Gong Dong asked softly,

his eyes full of concern.

As you know, in his impression,

Ye Xiuxiu has always been steady and calm,

seeing her today with a worried frown like this is truly the first time.

Ye Xiuxiu was brought back to reality by Chen Gong Dong's voice, she turned her head to look at him,

Chen Gong Dong curiously asked,

"Have you recently encountered some difficulties in the Confucian Way?"

Upon hearing Chen Gong Dong's words,

Ye Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly lit up,

an idea popped into her mind.

Ye Xiuxiu lightly shook her head, giving a wry smile and said:

"It's not exactly a research difficulty; it's just that the sage's words currently circulating in the cultivation world are mostly wrong!"

"And those who truly know the correct content of the sage's words are only a few of us."

"This is truly heartbreaking."

Saying this, her face showed pain and regret.

"We have all misunderstood the sage's words; the impact on our future is enormous, basically destroying the cultivation world's future new generation."

"If in the future foreign heavenly demons invade, do we have the ability to resist?"

Chen Gong Dong, after hearing, was also greatly startled,

only then did he realize how serious the current situation is.

After a moment of silence, he said thoughtfully, "What can we do? If these mistaken sage's words keep spreading, won't they mislead many people?"

Ye Xiuxiu nodded, a flash of determination in her eyes:

"That's why I want to do something so that everyone can learn the correct content of the sage's words, especially us youngsters, after all we are the future of the cultivation world!"

"Even if we cannot let all the youngsters of the cultivation world understand,"

"at the very least we must make our companions aware of the correct sage's words."

"What do you say I should do?"

After Chen Gong Dong heard Ye Xiuxiu's words,

his heart couldn't help but worry even more,

he began to think about what to do,

he felt he must save the world himself!

Only see Chen Gong Dong's originally somewhat bewildered gaze gradually becoming firm; he began to concentrate fully on thinking of a solution.

After a short while, he vigorously shook his head, as if trying to shake off all distracting thoughts.

Immediately after, a light "hum" sound was heard, and a flash of inspiration like lightning crossed his mind.

"Got it!" Chen Gong Dong exclaimed excitedly,

"How about this, Xiuxiu sister? Since everyone has misunderstandings and mistaken perceptions of the sage's words, you might consider opening a special class,"

to explain in detail to everyone the true connotation and meaning of the sage's words.

"That way, everyone will clearly understand the principles within."

Ye Xiuxiu, upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, she kept nodding and praising:

"Oh my, Gong Dong brother, you are really so smart!"

"This idea is simply wonderful!"

"If we can really do this, it will surely help everyone correct mistakes and grasp the true essence of the sage's words."

After receiving Ye Xiuxiu's approval,

Chen Gong Dong's originally somewhat calm face instantly, as if brushed by a spring breeze, burst into a proud, smug smile.

He split his mouth open, emitting a "hehehe" laugh,

and then said confidently, "Of course! How could such a small matter possibly stump me?"

Ye Xiuxiu, standing at the side, also burst into laughter, her big watery eyes curving into two crescent moons.

She said softly:

"Then it's trouble for Brother Gong Dong to gather everyone together, okay? Only by gathering everyone together can I better teach them the correct sage's words."

However, when Chen Gong Dong heard that he himself had to complete this task,

he suddenly froze completely,

the smile on his face froze there. He widened his eyes,

pointing at himself in disbelief, he asked,

"Me? Have me do it?"

He seemed quite surprised by this sudden request.

Seeing Chen Gong Dong's appearance, Ye Xiuxiu tried hard not to laugh,

deliberately putting on a puzzled look, she countered,

"Could it be that Brother Gong Dong can't do it?"

Hearing those words, Chen Gong Dong seemed to be stimulated,

he thrust his chest forward and slapped it hard a few times,

He shouted, "Of course I can! For me, this is a piece of cake!"

"It's just gathering everyone to the usual classroom, right?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Ye Xiuxiu secretly laughed in her heart,

thinking to herself: "Kids really are easy to fool, huh."

Ye Xiuxiu smiled and nodded, showing agreement and trust.

Then she added: "Brother Gong Dong, I believe with your ability you will surely complete the task smoothly. As long as you can successfully gather everyone together to listen attentively and study well, everything afterward will be much easier."

Having said that, she paused slightly, then continued thoughtfully: "However, to gather so many people, you need to use some methods."

"How should we call so many people over?"

At this moment, Chen Gong Dong exuded an extremely strong confidence from head to toe.

Seeing him hold his head high and chest out, he said,

"This, of course, I naturally know full well!"

His words were full of certainty.

Then he proudly added: "I have actually studied all those correct sage's words together with Sister Xiuxiu,"

After saying that, he still didn't forget to puff out his chest,

as if he had become a learned scholar.

"Naturally, the choice is to win people over with virtue."

After saying that, he turned his head,

gazing gently at Ye Xiuxiu beside him, full of expectation, he said,

"Sister Xiuxiu, just rest assured; simply wait there patiently for my good news."

Immediately after, Chen Gong Dong, as if suddenly remembering something, hurriedly urged: "Ah, we've been talking, we should hurry and eat first."

"After we finish eating, I will gather everyone into that small classroom,"

"and Sister Xiuxiu, you can go ahead to the small classroom to make thorough preparations."
