"What kind of help?" Lin Xuan asked.

Yang Wencheng pointed at the scroll and said, "This scroll is an Innate Spirit Artifact of our Literary Dao."

"According to legend, this scroll was created by a Quasi-Saint over thirty thousand years ago, containing a strand of Innate Saint Qi that can nourish an entire Academy."

Lin Xuan nodded. "You want to activate that Saint Qi?"

As Yang Wencheng had described, this Saint Qi was like a Spirit Vein that sustained a sect.

Once activated, it would provide the entire Academy with an endless supply of Saint Qi.

Not only would it benefit everyone in the Academy's Literary Dao Cultivation, but it would also enhance the Academy's prestige and foundation.

After all, in the Cultivation World.

An innate Spirit Vein could even support a sect for a thousand or ten thousand years.

From this, one could see how tempting this Innate Saint Qi was.

"Nothing escapes the Imperial Husband." Yang Wencheng's expression turned respectful.

"To test the literary talent of later generations, that Quasi-Saint set up an obstacle on the scroll."

"Only by inscribing the finest verses according to the scroll's content can one activate it!"

"Unfortunately, this Old Man's learning is shallow; I've studied it for two hundred years without cracking it."

"Today, I'm being thick-skinned and asking you, the Literary Saint, to help solve it!"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly. "A small matter."

In his mind, he quickly searched the Profound Absolute Heavenly Tome for descriptions related to the scenery in the painting.

Yang Wencheng was overjoyed at this. The Imperial Husband nodding meant success was guaranteed!

He pulled out the brush he carried with him and respectfully offered it. "Imperial Husband, please!"

Lin Xuan took the brush and casually wrote twelve large characters on the scroll.

Northern Profound Scenery, Thousand Miles of Ice Seal, Ten Thousand Miles of Snow Flutter!

As the twelve characters landed, the entire scroll suddenly erupted with a golden light.

A dense Innate Saint Qi transformed into a hazy, seven-colored cloud in midair.

Vast and mighty, as if eternal.

Seeing this, Yang Wencheng was so excited he bowed to Lin Xuan three times in a row.

"Marvelous! Truly marvelous!"

"These twelve characters of the Imperial Husband are grand and magnificent to the extreme!"

Yang Wencheng praised endlessly.

The Empress had chosen the Imperial Husband—truly a keen eye for talent.

With the Imperial Husband so gifted, the Empress must have thought him the most suitable to educate the Children, but was too embarrassed to say so due to pride.

It seemed today's visit was truly timely.

He had both followed the Empress's wishes by resigning as teacher.

And gained the Imperial Husband's help to successfully obtain the Innate Saint Qi.

This Trip was a true win-win!

Thinking of this, Yang Wencheng excitedly clutched the scroll and turned to leave.

He couldn't wait to hang this scroll in the Academy he had founded.

So that all the Academy's disciples could admire Lin Xuan's twelve golden words.

As for Lin Xuan's crooked, uneven handwriting, it could be completely overlooked.

Under the illumination of the Seven-Colored Holy Light, the characters he wrote instead took on a meaning of Return to Simplicity and Great Skill Appears Clumsy.

In Yang Wencheng's eyes, perhaps at the Literary Saint level, the characters one wrote were simply this unfathomable.

Seeing Yang Wencheng rush off without even saying goodbye, Lin Xuan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

He hadn't expected that a casual line he wrote would be treasured like a Supreme Treasure by Yang Wencheng.

In the Eyes Of his teaching of the Children, consider it a gift to him.

"Wow, Daddy is so amazing!"

"Daddy can even be the teacher's teacher, so I'm going to call Daddy Old Teacher!"

Xuan Zhu and the others clapped happily, their eyes shining with excitement.

Xuan Han suddenly had a whimsical idea and gave Lin Xuan a new title.

Lin Xuan affectionately tapped Xuan Han's nose. "Sweetheart, if you call Daddy Old Teacher, aren't you afraid of making Daddy sound old?"

"Would it?" Xuan Han's expression immediately turned tense as she tilted her head to think. "Daddy is Daddy, even if he becomes a teacher, he's still our Daddy!"

"Well said, so clever!" Lin Xuan lovingly kissed the Little Girl's chubby cheek.

"Daddy, you have to kiss us too!"

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan You each pointed at their own cheeks.

"Alright!"

Lin Xuan naturally obliged his daughters one by one.

After the kisses, Lin Xuan prepared to start their lessons.

With the Profound Absolute Heavenly Tome, the knowledge stored in his mind was nothing short of monstrous.

From astronomy and geography to local customs and traditions, it encompassed everything.

There was nothing he didn't understand, nothing he didn't know.

Facing four clever and intelligent daughters, he had full confidence in raising them into well-informed little stars of wisdom.

To make teaching easier, Lin Xuan had specifically asked a servant to find an imperial craftsman and have a blackboard made from top-grade nanmu.

Seeing Lin Xuan's wonderful idea, not only did the servant and craftsman praise his ingenuity.

The little girls were also brimming with intense curiosity, chattering around the blackboard and studying it for quite a while.

Next, Lin Xuan used that blackboard to write on it and teach them knowledge.

Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and the little girls were still utterly engrossed.

They found that what Daddy taught was so much more interesting than what the Grand Tutor taught.

However, after such a long time, the little girls were all a bit tired.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan let them rest for a while and eat some pastries and fruit brought by the servants.

Taking advantage of the moment when her three sisters were eating, Xuan Xi secretly came up to Lin Xuan.

Mysteriously, she pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to Lin Xuan.

"Daddy, how do you actually read this character?"

Lin Xuan looked down and saw three "earth" characters stacked together.

Lin Xuan smiled. "This character is pronounced 'yáo'."

"Oh, oh!" Xuan Xi nodded.

Seeing that the little girl's expression was a bit unusual, Lin Xuan asked, "Have you been having trouble remembering what this character is?"

Xuan Xi revealed a hint of shyness and nodded. "Yeah, the Grand Tutor taught me several times before, but I'd forget it quickly."

"Older Sister and the others could remember it right away, but I'm the only one who always forgets!"

She hugged Lin Xuan's arm with a troubled look. "Daddy, am I dumber than them?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xuan rubbed her little head. "You're all equally smart!"

He understood now. Xuan Xi felt a little inferior because she could never remember that character.

"Then why do I always forget?" Xuan Xi blinked her big eyes.

With the Perfect Daddy Tutorial, Lin Xuan naturally knew the reason!

He said gently, "In fact, every child has characters they can't remember during the literacy stage."

"But Daddy has a magical method that will make sure you never forget again."

Through the tutorial, he knew.

To help children master literacy faster, rigid teaching wouldn't work.

The best approach was to combine education with fun.

Use vivid stories or nursery rhymes to deepen their memory.

"Then tell me quickly, Daddy!" Xuan Xi looked eager.

Lin Xuan smiled. "It's a nursery rhyme. Sing it with Daddy!"

With that, he began to sing the adapted nursery rhyme.

"Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock to Grandma's bridge."

"Grandma's bridge, three piles of earth, rock along with me."

"I asked the earth what it's called, its name is rock too."

Xuan Xi sang along once, then her eyes lit up. "Three piles of earth, also called rock!"

"That's right, that's the idea." Lin Xuan asked, "Can you remember it now?"

"Of course!" Xuan Xi immediately sang the adapted nursery rhyme again, word for word.

Ding!

At this moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded.

"You have taught your second daughter to remember a new character. Reward: Chaos Sacred Body!"
