Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 289: What a Shame (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Really?” Long was confused. “He must be affected by something. That’s the only explanation.”

Liu frowned and shook his head. “Brother Ouyang should have his own plans. Moreover, this is a good thing.”

“Well... you mean, it’s a good thing that he studies medicine with you?”

“That’s true. Studying more things is always beneficial,” Liu said, “If you want to study medicine, I can also teach you. Of course, you have to pay.”

Long opened his mouth wide in astonishment. “What did you say?”

Liu sneered. “Don’t be so surprised. You heard it right. You have to pay!”

Long’s lips twitched slightly. “I really didn’t find it earlier that you value money so much!”

As a well-known doctor, Liu shouldn’t be short of money, right?

“Didn’t you find it earlier? It doesn’t matter. You just need to prepare the money!”

Long became speechless.

Shi said calmly, “That’s what we should do.”

Long suddenly turned to look at Shi. “Qingzhou...”

Shi also looked at him. “What’s wrong? Do you think that’s not right?”

“Uh...” Long touched his chin. “Yes, of course I should... But I don’t think I need to study medicine.”

Shi smiled faintly. “If you don’t, I will.”

“What?” Long felt even more surprised. “Qingzhou, what did you say? You want to study medicine?”

“Yes,” Shi answered calmly, “It won’t do me any harm.”

Liu smiled. “That’s right. It won’t cause you any harm.”

Long looked at Shi and Liu. Then... he shrugged.

“All right, you guys go to study and I’ll just enjoy my life. I won’t study that.”

Liu sneered. “I never hoped that a man like you could learn something!”

When Long heard that, his eyes widened in anger. “What do you mean by saying that? What’s wrong with me? Let me tell you, sometimes I just don’t want to study, but it doesn’t mean I’m stupid, okay? If I really want to learn something, I can master it very quickly. Do you know that?”

Liu curled his lips perfunctorily. “All right, all right, you will master it quickly.”

Long got furious.

Shi just focused on eating, not getting involved in their argument.

Long gave Liu a stare and decided to ignore him. Then, he began to eat.

Liu hadn’t had breakfast yet, so he said to Liu Xiangyang who was standing not far away, “Bring a set of cutlery.”

Liu Xiangyang hurriedly did his bidding...

After breakfast, Long continued to deal with the memorials, while Shi went outside to practice swordplay.

Long didn’t go to watch it this time.

In fact, he had a lot of things to attend to.

After finishing all the memorials, he still needed to meet two officials from the Ministry of War.

Shi practiced swordplay in the courtyard. After a long time, he finished and put his sword back.

At noon, Long had lunch and then summoned the two officials.

Shi didn’t have lunch with Long. He ate it first and then went to Liu’s place... to learn medicine from him.

Liu taught very carefully, while Ouyang and Shi studied in earnest.

These two men were talented and intelligent, so they naturally learned very fast.

After Long met the two officials from the Ministry of War, he still didn’t see his empress in Qiankun Palace, so he went to Liu’s place. What he saw was Shi was carefully identifying the medicinal herbs with them.

He couldn’t help but walk softly, fearing to disturb them.

Even if he’d been very gentle, those people still found him.

Liu directly turned to look at him. “Why did you come?”

Long blinked and said while walking, “What’s wrong? Can’t I come?”

“No, I don’t mean that. I just think that you don’t understand it anyways. It’s just a waste of time for you to come here. You don’t need to.” Liu smiled.

Long’s face darkened. “I’m not wasting time!”

Liu shrugged. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit it. Well... do you want to give it a try?”

“I’ll just try it! You’ll see how talented I am!”

Liu curled his lips. “All right, come on.”

Long strode over. “You can begin.”

Liu pointed to several kinds of medicinal herbs in front of him. “Just a few of them. I will tell you their names. Look carefully.”

“Okay, just say it.” Long waved his hand.

Liu introduced the medicinal materials unhurriedly, and then... he put them in a different order.

After that, he randomly took out one of them. “Now tell me. What is this?”

Long was totally confused.

Shi and Ouyang looked at Long with great interest.

Shi was no exception!

Long coughed, and then... carefully observed the medicinal herb.

After a while, Long said, “It’s Origin Grass.”

Liu burst into laughter, making Long embarrassed.

Then, Long looked at Shi and asked for help. “Qingzhou, am I wrong?”

Shi nodded pityingly. “Yes, you are wrong.”

Long became speechless.

Liu said, “Will you try again? You can observe these herbs first, and then I’ll tell you their names again.”

That was really humiliating!

Long was very unhappy, so he said, “Okay, just you wait!”

The other three didn’t say anything.

Long carefully observed the herbs, and then Liu really told him their names again.

Later, Liu asked. “Are you ready?”

With a gloomy face, Long said, “I’m ready. You can ask now.”

Liu nodded. “Okay. What kind of herb is this?”

Long said without thinking, “Golden Leaf Grass.”

The three of them became speechless.

Long frowned. “What now? Am I wrong again?”

Shi coughed. “This one is Golden Leaf Grass.”

Shi picked up another kind of herb in front of Long.

Long became upset. “You... you are not lying?”

Shi found Long was being unreasonable. “Why would we lie to you?”

“Who knows? Maybe you did it on purpose! You guys united in lying to me!”

Liu laughed loudly. “Come on, you didn’t know anything, but still kept pretending. When we said you were wrong, you thought we lied to you. Long Xiaoyuan, you’re so shameless!”

“Liu Suifeng!” Long roared angrily.

Then, he pounced on Liu.

Liu was startled. Then, he began to wrestle with Long.

Long had a little internal strength. Although Liu didn’t have much strength, he had rich experience. However, Liu didn’t have the heart to fight against him fiercely.

So, when the two men fought... they were neck to neck!

However, Shi felt... it was embarrassing.

So he didn’t wait for the result and just left.

Looking at the two men who were fighting childishly... Ouyang also left.

“You bastard, you must have lied to me!”

“You are the bastard! Rascal!”

“How dare you say that I’m a rascal? I’m the emperor! I’ll eliminate all your clan!”

“I was just telling the truth! I didn’t say anything wrong! Dare you eliminate all my clan!”

“Of course I dare! I’ll kill you first!”

“Long Xiaoyuan, you asked for it! Don’t you think I dare not fight you!”

“All right, just fight me if you dare! You think I’m afraid of you?!”

“Okay, don’t regret it!”

“Only losers will regret it!”

“Good! Remember what you said!”

“Yes! I said it!”

“Good... Watch out!”

“Come on......”

These two men were so naïve and began to fight again. The scene was... so terrible that one could hardly bear the sight of it!
