Chapter 5: The Earth is Round!
Soon, the sensational memory of the thirteen little princes slowly faded away. After all, a person's strong or weak memory cannot make up for his shortcomings.
Now replaced by another thing.
At this time, the Thirteen Little Princes were at a critical juncture in their lives, where they had to decide how to develop themselves in the future, whether to become a nominal professional, scholar, official or something else.
As for why it's a nominal profession, this is also very simple. Everyone wouldn't think that the Thirteen Young Master would take on a profession, nor would they let him do so. They just need a nominal one; simply put, it sounds better. To put it even simpler, it's a matter of face.
Of course, this decision was made by his parents, and this matter is also a more headache for Ye Chengtian and his wife, they don't know how to deal with it.
For a thirteen-year-old boy with a good memory, it's not difficult to become a knowledgeable scholar, although he may not be able to tell others what knowledge he has.
However, for Ye Chengtian and his wife, they didn't need him to tell others anything, so they invited a famous scholar to teach the thirteen little princes.
In this way, a strange thing happened. After teaching for a while longer, the scholar immediately submitted his resignation to Ye Chengtian and his wife, asking them to invite someone more capable, on the grounds that he was not able to teach the thirteen young masters.
At first, the couple thought that the thirteen-year-old boy was stupid and could not be taught, so they had to invite another one. This time it was also a very famous scholar.
And this time it was even faster, in less than three days, that scholar made the same request, asking the Ye family to invite a more skilled person.
The next few continued, but none of them could hold on, and the time was getting shorter and shorter. The last one only lasted half a day, and with a fearful look, as if still feeling collapsed, said a sentence to the couple.
This young nobleman is a genius beyond control, I am unable to teach him, perhaps only the gods can.
This situation made Ye Chengtian and his wife feel that something was not right. Even if they were stupid, these scholars had already known the situation before they came, so they should have had corresponding countermeasures and shouldn't have retreated in less than half a day.
Besides, under normal circumstances, the later scholars should be stronger and more persistent, but why is it getting shorter instead?
So, with this confusion, Ye Chengtian and his wife went to ask the thirteen little prince, wanting to know what had happened between those scholars and him, which would make those scholars have such a strange expression.
Unaware of the truth, shocked by the answer, Ye Chengtian and his wife immediately gave up on the idea of continuing to invite scholars after getting the answer, and also stopped requiring the Thirteen Little Princes to become a nominal scholar.
……
"Thirteen Shao, today let's first understand the origin of the mainland. Before the Divine Calendar, at that time there were no living creatures on earth. The gods descended upon this world, giving life to the land and creating intelligent life forms such as humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen, etc."
Among the many races, our human race is the closest to God's race, because God created us according to His own prototype, so we are the most intelligent of all races...
When the scholar proudly talked about the superiority of his own race, the thirteen little princes who were listening on the side were stunned for a while, and then put forward a statement.
"Humans were not created by God, that's just a myth. Humans evolved from apes, which is written in the theory of evolution."
What is evolutionism, scholars no longer want to know, he was shocked by the remarks of the thirteen little princes, which was a kind of questioning of God, so he immediately began to correct.
Just as he was correcting him, saying that the existence of God cannot be questioned, the Thirteenth Young Master raised another question: Why can't we question it? Have you seen God? Are you certain that God really exists?
This made the scholar immediately pack up his things and leave, afraid that if he continued, he would get himself into trouble.
The next few scholars also encountered similar situations, such as the Thirteen Little Princes saying that the earth is not flat but a sphere, only this sphere is too big to feel.
He also said that the sun is a huge fireball called a fixed star, and we are all turning around the sun, not the sun turning around us.
Many many, these are completely overthrowing the existence of God for people in this world. If it were to be taught and known, there would definitely be immediate punishment, even if it's just child's talk, there will still be some movement.
So, after knowing this situation, those scholars immediately left and did not want to get into trouble.
Yecheng Tian and his wife changed their expressions after learning about this, and unanimously decided not to invite scholars over anymore. If the thirteen young masters were to come up with some astonishing theories again, it would be unbearable.
They're just a bit strange - "All day, where did he learn all these messy things from? From small to large, he has never left the house half a step?" Long Anqi was very confused. His own son, due to his special circumstances, had not left the Ye residence even once until now, and it was fundamentally impossible for him to come into contact with such messy things.
"Yes, from young to old, apart from us and a few maids taking care of him, there's also... " Ye Chengtian was also perplexed, but as he spoke, he thought of a possibility.
"Yè Lán Yǔ!!" = "Leaf Blue Rain!!"
"What's wrong?" Little Blue Rain looked at her parents with confusion, she felt that her parents seemed to be a bit angry, so she was thinking about what she had done wrong today.
"You little scamp, it's one thing to be mischievous all the time, but how could you tell your younger brother such nonsense? You know he can't tell what's true or false, and he'll believe whatever you say."
"What?" Little Blue Rain was confused, and what she didn't understand was which one were you talking about?
It's obvious she has lied to her brother more than once.
However, after she knew about the whole thing, she said one sentence very firmly:
"Dad, Mom, I really didn't this time!!"
This time's storm made Ye Chengtian and his wife temporarily give up this scholar cultivation plan, and later let the Thirteen Little Prince read books by himself to avoid another shocking public opinion.
For this purpose, they also collected a large number of books, all kinds of books were available, and of course, there were absolutely no "reactionary speech" books in between.
Since he can't become a scholar, then try something else, go and try to be the lord of an empire, this is also something he will have to do sooner or later, although at that time it may not be him personally in charge, there will be someone from the Ye family to help take care of things.
