I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!

Chapter 134: Bringing Litai to Visit Lorne

When Weiss heard the names of the two classics mentioned by Litai, as well as the famous person from the current dynasty, he could not help but feel a little troubled.

No matter which era it was, this phenomenon was actually universal. Mathematics was the biggest problem for most children.

Weiss really did not like studying mathematics. As the First Prince of the current dynasty and the future heir of the country, he had to know a little about all aspects. He must also learn mathematics. He could not be completely ignorant of that.

So every time he took arithmetic classes, it was basically a nightmare for him. It was easy to do the simple ones, but if he did two complicated questions, he would end up with a major headache.

On the contrary, his younger brother, Litai, was really a freak in mathematics.

He liked to study all kinds of profound things, and it was not the same as what others were studying.

Poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Litai never really bothered studying these things. Instead, he was passionate about ancient scriptures. He collected and bought proofread editions of ancient books.

Recently, he became obsessed with studying mathematics. Recently, he had been putting in a lot of effort to collect ancient scriptures such as the nine chapters of arithmetic.

Not only did he have to collect them, but he also had to study the difficult problems one by one.

Weiss really could never really figure his brother out. There was actually someone in this world who was willing to break his head to study difficult mathematical problems.

Therefore, Weiss patted his head and helplessly replied to him.

“If you have free time, you might as well walk around and occasionally go hunting. At least slim down your body. It’s not a good idea to keep doing this. It’s not good for your body.

“If you’re like this, you can either sit there and study scriptures or walk while you study ancient texts.

“You don’t move around much all day. How are you going to continue living like this?”

Weiss was quite concerned about his younger brother. As a pure-hearted person, he did not have many other thoughts. He was truly worried that Litai’s fat body would cause other health problems for him in the future.

When Litai heard his older brother say that, he spread his hands helplessly.

“Don’t talk about me like that. I’m only interested in these things.

“If it were anything else, I probably wouldn’t be interested.

“If you want me to go hunting with you, I reckon that horse wouldn’t be able to bear my weight even if it ran.”

Weiss could not help but be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He really had no way of answering this question. However, this question was a common one. Even his father, the King of Lolan, did not have any good ideas, so he could only mutter to himself.

Thus, Weiss let out a long sigh and patted Litai’s shoulder.

As for Litai, he did not care about his own body size at all. Instead, he sized up the First Prince Weiss’s ordinary clothes from top to bottom and could not help but ask in puzzlement.

“You’re in a disguise. Are you going out for a walk?”

When Weiss heard Litai mention this, he immediately revealed an expression of respect.

“Today is the day I’m going to learn from someone respectful, so I have to dress in disguise and then go ask the teacher some questions.”

Litai was stunned for a moment. He keenly sensed that the teacher his big brother was talking about was definitely not the few old ministers in the imperial court who had taught him morals in the past.

After all, he did not need to dress like this when he went to the residences of those old ministers. Instead, he had to dress like the First prince instead.

Therefore, he asked curiously, “What does your teacher teach you? What did he say for you to wear this.”

Weiss said somewhat proudly, “My teacher knows everything and can teach anything. This is someone that our father especially found for me.

“As for why I wore such a disguise to leave the palace, it’s because this teacher of mine doesn’t know the identity of my First Prince at all. He only knows that father is an ordinary merchant, and I’m only the son of a merchant.”

Litai was suddenly a little surprised. This was a little out of his scope of understanding.

What kind of person was this epic? He even needed the dignified First Prince and King of a country to conceal their identities and come into contact with him as an ordinary person. Could this be some legendary sage who lived in seclusion in the bustling city?

Litai could not help but scratch his chin, and then asked again, “Is your really as good as you say? Does he really know anything and everything? Is he proficient in arithmetic? Can he research arithmetic problems?”

Weiss was stunned. He was also a little confused and did not know how to reply.

He only knew that Lorne was proficient in court politics, national situations, Lolan’s law, and insight into people’s hearts.

He did not know if Lorne could solve math problems.

Moreover, Litai was talking about whether he could solve the math problems in the scriptures. One had to know that there were more than dozens of calculation scriptures in the library of Lolan.

There were ten of the most classic ones, and some of the difficult problems in the calculation scriptures were not particularly clear to even his other teacher, who specialized in teaching him math.

What if Lorne really did not know how to solve them? However, it did not matter to Weiss whether his teacher knew how to solve math problems.

Weiss was sure that there was nothing that his teacher did not know. There was no such thing as not knowing at all!

In Weiss’s opinion, Lorne should be the kind of existence that could go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent.

Therefore, math problems should be nothing to him, even if the original authors of these scriptures were found, they would not be able to compare to his teacher’s attainments in this area.

Thus, Weiss immediately patted his chest and his expression was unusually confident. He spoke in a firm and assuring tone.

“You are looking down on my teacher. These are just simple arithmetic problems. With just a flip of this book, my teacher would be able to do it.

“It’s not I’m boasting, but to him, it would just be nine simple chapters of arithmetic. There are no problems that my teacher doesn’t know how to solve!

“The teacher that our father found for me is so amazing. He can be both civil and martial. He knows everything and anything!”

When Litai saw his brother’s extremely proud and confident look, he could not help but be dumbfounded.

Is that teacher really that awesome? Litai could not help but be a little suspicious. Even if he was a math genius and often studied, there were still many problems that he did not know how to solve.

He could not believe that his brother actually dared to boast that his teacher knew everything. Litai rolled his eyes and immediately made a decision. “If you say so, today, I’ll be following you to class. The books can wait. It shouldn’t be an issue, right?”
