Ma Feifei Teaches the Three Character Classic (Two-in-One)

Indeed, the black-covered book that Ma Feifei is holding is the "Three Character Classic," one of the three major primers for traditional Chinese learning.

This book is concise and easy to read aloud. Its content covers history, astronomy, geography, morality, and some folk legends. By reading the Three Character Classic, one can understand the great principles of life and conduct contained in traditional Chinese culture and stories. This is why this book has been passed down for thousands of years and is known to every household.

After being included in the system, this "Three Character Classic" was listed as an Epic-grade- quality book. Its effects are also very simple: it can purify the anger in people's hearts. As long as people read the "Three Character Classic" more, even evil people can become good people, and petty people can become gentlemen. They will learn to be humble and courteous and return to the original simple and pure nature of mankind.

Ma Feifei felt that this book was the perfect choice for him to persuade people to do good. There was no need to use force or fight. Everyone could sit down together, read the "Three Character Classic," understand the true meaning of life, and then build a beautiful world of great harmony. How perfect!

Thinking about this, Ma Feifei felt a sense of satisfaction, as if he had found his direction in life and the responsibility of building a better and more harmonious society had fallen on his shoulders.

"Hmm? Why aren't you reading yet?" Ma Feifei, who was lost in his hallucination, noticed that no one was reading along with him. He frowned and his serious gaze swept over the group of people lying on the ground, especially Prime Minister Di Heyu. Since he was the leader, the servants naturally dared not read if he didn't.

Di Heyu lowered his head and remained silent, his face terribly grim. Ma Feifei's actions were worse than death to him. The dignified Qin State, a man standing Azure Dragon's Peak, was now being forced to study? What would become of his reputation if word got out?

He just couldn't muster the courage to argue with Ma Feifei, fearing that Ma Feifei might get angry and actually kill him, in which case he wouldn't even have the chance to study.

After hesitating for a moment, Di Heyu said in a low voice, "Young brother, is it possible to not study? Just name your conditions, and I will certainly grant them."

Snap! Ma Feifei flicked the ruler through the air, sending Ember, and scolded, "What are you saying? Do you think I'm making you study to take advantage of you? I just want to save you from your misery and guide you back to the right path. Don't try to tarnish my Ma Feifei character with those vulgar things. Now, study!"

"Ma Feifei, what is character?" Yun Qingyang, who was checking the treasures in her spatial bag, suddenly looked up and asked.

"You definitely don't have this, no need to ask." Ma Feifei waved his hand, glancing at the dozen or so spatial bags in her hand, and said, "We agreed, half for each of us, don't try to be clever with me."

Di Heyu's eyelids twitched involuntarily after hearing Ma Feifei's words. He glanced at the spatial ring that had appeared on Ma Feifei's hand and didn't know what to say.

"Sigh..." In the end, Di Heyu could only let out a long sigh and read aloud in a low voice, "At the beginning of life, people are inherently good..." Then he picked up a brush and began to copy the sentence onto a piece of paper.

Seeing that their master had read it, the servants around him felt no pressure and followed along in unison, copying it down on paper.

"Speak louder, it's too quiet." Ma Feifei was dissatisfied. There were more than a dozen people on the ground, and their combined voices were not even as loud as a primary school student reading a text. Were they reading a book or imitating mosquitoes? Especially the Qin State, whose voice was barely audible unless you listened carefully.

Di Heyu seemed to have truly resigned himself to his fate. Hearing Ma Feifei complain that his voice was too soft, he immediately read it aloud again, this time with a much louder voice.

"Hmm, not bad. Keep this volume. Also, don't forget to copy it down. Now let's continue with the second line: 'If not taught, nature will change. The way of teaching is to focus.'" Ma Feifei nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the second line of the Three Character Classic, and read it aloud with a swaying head, as if he had truly become a teacher who nurtures people and is completely immersed in the role.

'If not taught, a person's nature will change. The way to teach is to focus on one thing at a time...'

This time, everyone read aloud in unison, seemingly resigned to their fate. Their voices were clear and bright, and could be heard throughout Chang'an Street.

On this street, there were not only people from the Prime Minister's residence, but also other forces that were paying attention to the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two, all looking in this direction from the street corner.

"Quickly go back and report to the general that the Prime Minister has been beaten by a mysterious man and is currently Punishment by him by having to recite and copy books."

"Quickly report to the Prince that the Prime Minister's attempt to force his way into a private residence has backfired, and he has fallen into the owner's hands. The owner is currently giving him a moral lesson."

"..."

For a time, undercurrents surged on Chang'an Street, and men in black traveling to and from various high-ranking cities could be seen everywhere. Prime Minister Di Heyu was destined to become famous throughout the entire Qin Imperial Capital tonight.

It wasn't until dawn that Ma Feifei finished reciting the entire Three Character Classic. At the same time, Di Heyu others finished copying it, each showing a relieved expression, as if reading and copying a book was more tiring than fighting a war.

It wasn't until dawn that Ma Feifei finished reading the last sentence. At the same time, everyone followed along, copying the last sentence onto paper. They all collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, as if making them read and copy was more tiring than fighting a war.

Prime Minister Di Heyu remained expressionless. After copying the last sentence, he silently put down his brush, looked down at the copy of the "Three Character Classic" he had made, and seemed lost in thought.

"Slap slap~"

Ma Feifei put away the Three Character Classic and the ruler, clapped his hands, and said with satisfaction, "Very good. I believe everyone has gained a basic understanding of the Three Character Classic after reading it tonight. Well then, I'll give you one last task: each of you should write a reflection on reading the Three Character Classic and bring it to me. Is that alright?"

"Uh..." The generals didn't know how to answer Ma Feifei's question, so they could only turn their attention to Prime Minister Di Heyu.

"No problem." Di Heyu didn't hesitate for long this time and readily agreed. However, what he was thinking in his heart was: If I can walk out of Chang'an Street today, I will never read this damn "Three Character Classic" again in my life, let alone write a reading report. I should write a revenge plan on how to Revenge on you!

Ma Feifei had no idea that Di Heyu had such a rich inner world. He thought that the Three Character Classic had really worked, and that the group of people had felt the greatness of thousands of years of Huaxia, and after being baptized, they had all had an epiphany and reformed themselves. So Ma Feifei was very happy at this moment.

"Alright! In that case, let's settle the tuition fees, and then you can go home." Ma Feifei said with satisfaction. He had a very comfortable teaching experience with this class of students; there were no troublemakers.

"Tuition fees?" The group, including Di Heyu, looked completely bewildered.

"That's right! The teacher taught you all night, look how hoarse your voices are! Shouldn't you get some compensation?" Ma Feifei said with a surprised look. This was hard-earned money, a normal and reasonable charge! Why were they all making that face? Did they not want to pay?

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei's face instantly darkened. Looking at Di Heyu group, she said coldly, "You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"

Seeing the ruler reappear in Ma Feifei's hand, Di Heyu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's just that we don't have any more Spirit Crystal left."

His spatial ring and his subordinates' spatial bags were all taken by Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang. He didn't even have a trace of Spirit Crystal, let alone any Spirit Crystal. Where was he going to pay for these so-called classes?

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei's expression brightened. As long as they weren't unwilling to pay, it was fine. He immediately picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote eleven IOUs, then handed them to each of them, saying, "It's alright if you don't have Spirit Crystal right now. Your teacher is very considerate. Just write these IOUs first, and you can return them to your teacher next time you come to study."

Di Heyu couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had never met anyone as shameless as Ma Feifei before. Not only did Ma Feifei rob them of all their treasures, but he also Sheer Force them to write IOUs? His reason was that he had taught them to read and write, so they needed to pay Ma Feifei for those lessons. Wasn't that utter nonsense?

I'll bring it to him next time I come to study. Laozi time I'll bring not only Spirit Crystal, but also Spirit Saint!

Even someone as composed as Di Heyu couldn't help but swear inwardly, which is enough to prove how deep his Grudge towards Ma Feifei was at that moment.

However, for now, he could only vent his frustration internally. Everything would have to wait until he left Chang'an Street and gathered his helpers. Thinking of this, Di Heyu picked up the IOU and glanced at it, a look of horror appearing in his eyes.

The IOU clearly stated a whopping five million Spirit Crystal! Is this some kind of path to immortality? Are you kidding me?

"Hiss! It's a million!" Suddenly, one of the guards exclaimed in surprise. Di Heyu frowned upon hearing this and subconsciously turned his head to look. He found that the IOU stated one million. Di Heyu's confusion deepened. He looked around and finally realized that everyone else except him had paid one million Spirit Crystal for their tuition.

What? Are you discriminating against me?

Di Heyu was instantly unhappy. It seemed he was being treated like a sucker and ripped off. He was about to protest when he remembered that it was just an IOU. He would be safe once he left Chang'an Street, and it would be impossible for the other party to collect the money. With that thought, Di Heyu relaxed a lot. He wrote his name on the IOU, and even had a slightly mischievous thought. He subconsciously added five thousand before the five million, making it fifty-five million Spirit Crystal.

"I'll let you dream a little longer!" Di Heyu thought bitterly to himself.

"Whoosh~"

After all the IOUs were signed and sealed, Ma Feifei them all and checked them over. He noticed that Di Heyu's IOU had an extra 50 million. Looking at Di Heyu, he kindly said, "Prime Minister, are you serious?"

"I benefited greatly last night, this is what you deserve, young brother." Di Heyu seemed to have forgotten about being beaten by Ma Feifei, and a kind smile appeared on his face, as if the two had no grudges at all, and were like old friends.

Ma Feifei gave Di Heyu a meaningful look and said, "Prime Minister, I dislike nothing more than being tricked, so I'm giving you one last chance to change things. Don't act impulsively!"

Fifty-five million Spirit Crystal —even if Di Heyu were the Qin State, Jidu the pinch for a long time if he took them out. Ma Feifei was earning money honestly, and he didn't really want this kind of windfall.

"If you have nothing else to say, young brother, I shall take my leave now!" Di Heyu didn't seem to care about the implication in Ma Feifei's words. Instead, he stood up, dusted off his clothes, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ma Feifei.

"Of course, Your Excellency, please proceed." Ma Feifei returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Di Heyu then flicked his sleeves. He originally wanted to snort, but fearing that Ma Feifei would beat him up again, he held back. He picked up the copy of the Three Character Classic he had made on the ground and hid it in his sleeve. Then he strode towards the outside of Chang'an Street. It was almost dawn, and if he didn't leave now, it would be really embarrassing if pedestrians recognized him.

Upon seeing this, all the servants stood up and, Copycat their master, hurriedly picked up the papers and followed him. During this time, not one of them made eye contact with Ma Feifei, but bowed and took their leave.

"Sigh! It seems these people need to study more! They don't even know basic etiquette. I'll bring the Book of Book of Rites with me later and teach them properly. After all, the ancestral rites should not be forgotten." Ma Feifei looked at the backs of Di Heyu and the others, lost in thought.

It wasn't until Di Heyu walked to the end of Chang'an Street that Ma Feifei came to her senses, picked up the debris and the Grand Tutor Chair, and said to Yun Qingyang, "Let's go, we should go back too."

Ma Feifei still has a lot on his plate. He hasn't even grasped the Tao Te Ching yet, and he hasn't finished copying the Book of Book of Changes. Now there's another book on the Eight Formations Diagram. He hasn't even started the cultural invasion mission yet, and the Main Quest seems a long way off. Just thinking about it makes his head spin.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long..." Ma Feifei sighed and led Yun Qingyang back to the Mysterious Bookstore in Dubian Town.

It was still early, only around six o'clock, so Ma Feifei planned to go back to sleep for a while.

"Wait a minute!" Ma Feifei, who was about to enter the house, was suddenly stopped by Yun Qingyang.

Ma Feifei was taken aback, then turned around a little guiltily and said, "Is something wrong, Xiao Qing...?"

Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei with a serious expression and said, "We haven't even started dividing the spoils yet."

After saying that, Yun Qingyang took out more than ten spatial bags, made them float in front of him, and said, "Come on, divide these things up before you go to sleep."

"Forget it, I tricked you last time, so I won't take it this time. You can have it all as a token of my apology," Ma Feifei said earnestly.

"Really?!" Yun Qingyang was surprised and happy. If Ma Feifei didn't share with her, she could have gotten double the treasures and Spirit Crystal all by herself.

"Of course, don't you know what kind of relationship we have? Forget these dozen or so spatial bags, I'd get you the moon if you wanted it. Okay, check your spoils, I'm going to take a nap, bye." With that, Ma Feifei dashed into her room, closed the door, and disappeared.

Yun Qingyang was as happy as a child, her eyes narrowed into crescents as she held each spatial bag in her hand, squatted down to count the treasures inside, and then put them into her spatial ring.

But as time went on, Yun Qingyang noticed something was wrong.

"Shouldn't we also have a spatial ring?"
