Wei Yenwu only then asked, "How did you think to teach the content from this book?"
Flandre Scarlet looked at Beatrice Swire. Beatrice recounted how Flandre had been distressed by that pile of "heavenly books" a few days ago, and everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Afterward, the group marveled that Flandre's knowledge indeed far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"I'm actually not that strong; I've just read a lot of books," Flandre Scarlet replied with a very smug sense of modesty.
"We know little Flandre is very impressive! To celebrate this success, I'll be the host. Let's all go to the Governor's Mansion for a casual meal!" Wei Yenwu happily led the group back.
Lady Fumizuki, who was helping him handle official business, set aside her work and walked to the backyard. "It seems today's teaching went smoothly?" she asked, walking over.
Upon seeing Fumizuki, Chen Huijie and Beatrice Swire stood up to greet her, while Flandre Scarlet buried her face in her teacup, gulping it down. After lecturing for three hours, Flandre was exhausted.
"More than smooth, it was simply eye-opening!" Wei Yenwu reached out to pat Flandre's head and recounted the afternoon.
After listening, Fumizuki also looked with great surprise at Flandre, who had just lifted her head with water stains still on the corners of her mouth. "I know that child Lin Yuxia very well; she is a most proud person. If little Flandre didn't truly have substance, she wouldn't even give her a second look. It's clear that little Flandre really gave her a huge shock this time."
Over the next few days, someone unknown uploaded the teaching video to the internet. Initially, everyone just watched it for a laugh—the sight of such a small child lecturing a group of uniformed adults was comical. However, professors from Lungmen United University and people from the Celestial Masters Mansion soon expressed their surprise and approval.
This caused many netizens to be dumbfounded. Does this little pudding, who looks less than ten years old, really have such strength?
Some skeptics analyzed the content and found it was not only perfectly correct but also simpler than what was taught in textbooks. When they realized the content came from the mandatory coursebook Originium and Sorcery, the shock intensified. Masterful explanation of such a foundational text was extraordinary.
In response to those who still had doubts, Flandre Scarlet stated that they were welcome to attend the second teaching session a week later. Wei Yenwu immediately announced that this session would be broadcast simultaneously on Lungmen TV. Now, the eyes of both supporters and political rivals were focused on the upcoming Saturday.
"Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Beatrice looked at Flandre, who was watching cartoons in the villa. "I even heard that some high-ranking masters from the Celestial Masters Mansion have specifically come from surrounding cities just to witness this 'Blood Demon genius'."
"So what?" Flandre expressed her lack of understanding. "I'll still give the lecture, and the content will be the same. Why should I be afraid of them?"
"Sigh, alright, maybe I'm just being too anxious." Beatrice sat down. Flandre calmly handed her a cup. "If you're restless, drink more hot water."
... "Pfft, cough cough cough..."
Flandre's words almost made Beatrice choke. After she finished coughing, Beatrice hugged Flandre and claimed she was feeling miserable and could only recover if she heard Flandre call her "Sister Beatrice" ten times.
Flandre looked speechlessly at the "Little Tiger" throwing a tantrum. She suddenly understood the feeling her own sister had whenever she acted like a rascal.
Saturday morning finally arrived. "Waaah, I'm so nervous!" Beatrice started jumping around the house early. Flandre, woken up by the noise, was hoisted onto Beatrice's shoulder and taken to the dressing room.
"Today you must let me do your makeup!" Beatrice insisted. Just as she was about to stretch her "devilish hands" toward Flandre's cheeks, Chen Huijie walked in and gave her a knock on the head.
"With little Flandre's looks, is there any point in giving her makeup?" Chen Huijie pinched Flandre's cheek. "Governor Wei asked me to ask how your preparations for this afternoon's lecture are going?"
Flandre gave a thumbs up. "It was already prepared a week ago."
"Then let's head to the Guard Department first! Many people are coming, including several Celestial Masters from Shangshu, plus some people with ill intentions. The Governor is worried someone might intentionally cause trouble to delay you."
Beatrice packed Flandre's teaching drafts into a bag, clutching it to her chest. "I'll help carry the drafts; I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
After stepping out, Flandre Scarlet looked toward the street corner. "It feels like someone is watching us!"
That gaze was very well-hidden. Chen Huijie and Beatrice didn't think Flandre was speaking without reason, so they increased their vigilance and called for backup while driving toward the Guard Department.
After they left, several cloaked figures emerged. "What a sharp little girl. I only took one look and was discovered."
"Don't forget, that little thing is a powerful character who made Ursus's Fourth Army Group suffer greatly. Let's go. It seems the plan to meet this child before the lecture has failed."
"It's a pity... how would the citizens of Lungmen feel if they knew their Governor was using the blood they offered to feed a Blood Demon?"
"You can try telling them, but stay away from us before you do. I don't want to be slashed by that sword in his hand."
The figures vanished.
In the car, Chen Huijie asked, "Do you still have that feeling now?"
Flandre shook her head. "It disappeared after we left the residential area."
"Then let's stay alert," Chen Huijie said. "Since someone found the house, there might be someone on the way..."
Before she could finish, a truck crashed into them from the side, pushing their car several meters. But at the moment of impact, Flandre Scarlet kicked open the door and pulled Chen Huijie and Beatrice out of the vehicle.
After landing, before the two adults could even react, Flandre Scarlet had already charged toward the truck.
