A scholar had arrived at Qingyu Village, a man of refined appearance and elegant demeanor, looking no older than twenty.

Despite his young age, the villagers were initially suspicious, but his composure was undeniably impressive. All doubts faded when they met him in person.

Hearing that the scholar wanted to open a private school in the village, asking for no tuition fees, the villagers were immensely grateful, and they would send him meat, vegetables, and eggs each month as a form of contribution.

Most of the children in the village were used to playing freely in the fields, and initially, they were reluctant to attend school. However, after attending for a day, all of them changed their minds. Not only did they not resent it, but they were also eager and enthusiastic.

"Teacher writes beautifully and even gave us all names!"

"Teacher knows so much; he knows everything we ask!"

"His stories are even better than the storyteller in town!"

"Teacher is also skilled in martial arts; when I learn it, I'll be a martial arts expert!"

"Teacher .... Teacher ..." Miao Miao, the youngest and the only girl, bit her finger and said, "Teacher is also quite handsome!"

Laughter erupted among everyone, filling the village with joyful sounds.

As time passed, the villagers gradually realized that the children were right—this scholar was indeed extraordinary, excelling in both literature and martial arts. It was strange, however, that he only used one book for teaching. Regardless of the subject, a nameless book was sufficient, and he rarely even looked at it, as if all knowledge was already in his mind.

Years went by, and under Mr. Luo's guidance, some children from Qingyu Village even managed to pass the county-level scholar exams. Mr. Luo's reputation spread throughout the entire county, with people flocking to find him for apprenticeships and to study at his private school.

However, after giving the village children their last lesson, Mr. Luo quietly left, leaving those who came looking for him disappointed.

The former beggar boy had no name. Later, as he joined the Ethereal Immortal Sect, he was given a Dao name according to his lineage. Upon leaving, this Dao name would naturally be relinquished.

The young man simply took "Luo Shu" as his name and roamed the world under the guise of a teacher. He opened private schools in villages, was invited to teach in wealthy households, and even taught in other academies for a time.

He saw the raw sincerity of the human world, experienced the complexities of the working world, and witnessed the intrigue of backroom dealings. From his youth to adulthood, his appearance changed little, and his belongings remained the same. The only thing that seemed to change was his demeanor, becoming increasingly calm and introspective.

"Brother Luo, are you planning to take the imperial exams this time?" a familiar scholar asked.

This was not the first time he had asked this question; three years earlier, he had been asked the same.

For convenience, the young man had secured a county-level scholar degree, thus stopping his progress further in exams. When others inquired, he would simply say he lacked the ability to participate. However, those who knew him well were aware that with his talent, he could easily pass the top imperial exam—he simply chose not to.
