After returning home, Xu Changping called out the system interface. He suddenly realized that although he had learned a lot of knowledge about porcelain identification, the system still only displayed basic antique identification.

"system."

"Host, I am here."

"I have already learned porcelain identification, but why am I still at the elementary level of antique identification?"

"Host, you will understand the reason once you start to learn from the system."

"Ok."

After hearing what the system said, Xu Changping clicked on the option to learn basic antique identification in the system mall.

Then you will see the following categories appearing in the system mall: calligraphy and painting, ceramics, jade, metals, and miscellaneous items.

Looking at the five options above, Xu Changping thought that he had almost learned all about porcelain identification, so he clicked on the ceramics category.

Then I saw a few red words pop up on the system interface: It is recommended that the host start learning from calligraphy and painting.

Xu Changping turned it off casually, and then clicked on the ceramic option, and found that another message popped up on the system interface: It is recommended that the host start learning from calligraphy and painting.

"System, you are not suggesting this, you are forcing me to choose this option."

"Host, this is the system's rule, just like you have to start school from elementary school."

"So what you mean is that learning calligraphy and painting appraisal is to lay the foundation for the other items?"

"Host, yes."

"Okay, then I'll see what the foundation is."

Xu Changping chose calligraphy and painting with a speechless look on his face. He felt that the system set this threshold because it didn't want him to learn too fast.

After clicking in, the system interface popped up the following information: Basic Antique Appraisal/Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal: 100 points/60 minutes.

After Xu Changping clicked confirm, a study and a middle-aged man in a long gown appeared.

"You are my student? Just call me Mr. Su."

The middle-aged man looked around, glanced at Xu Changping, and said gently.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

"Today, I will first teach you what the items on the table are used for."

Seeing that he was about to teach him how to write calligraphy, Xu Changping quickly said, "Wait, Mr. Su, I'm here to learn calligraphy and painting appraisal."

"I know, but the first requirement for learning calligraphy and painting appraisal here is to learn how to write and paint first."

"Okay, I know."

Xu Changping felt as if he had been deceived by the system, but although Mr. Su looked very gentle, he felt that the other party should not have a very good temper.

Besides, they had already started studying and he couldn't interrupt, so he had to listen.

After a while, Mr. Su said to Xu Changping in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to be such a good learner. Next, I'll teach you how to use the pen. Once you're familiar with it, I'll give you some homework, and today's study will be over."

The study here has ended. Xu Changping respectfully saw Mr. Su off and immediately called out the system.

"system."

"Host, I am here."

"To learn calligraphy and painting appraisal, you have to learn how to write and draw first. If I learn ceramics, do I have to learn how to mix clay? If I learn bronze ware, do I have to learn how to forge iron?"

Xu Changping said to the system angrily.

"Host, this is how we learn knowledge here."

"Then why didn't you let me dig herbs myself when I was learning medicine?"

"Host, according to the system's calculations, you are asked to dig herbs on your own. Your environment is not suitable, so this item only has written knowledge."

"Okay, you are so good, I can't beat you." Xu Changping sighed helplessly.

"Host, if you just want to learn identification, you only need to learn the basics to the elementary level."

The system noticed Xu Changping's resistance and gave a kind suggestion.

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself when the time comes. By the way, Mr. Su just said he was a scholar. Do you have any scholars there?"

"Host, no."

"Then where did Mr. Su come from?" Xu Changping asked curiously.

"Host, I am the Life Assistance System of All Worlds. Is it difficult to find a parallel world to hire a master for you?"

"Then this Mr. Su couldn't be Su Shi or Su Dongpo!" Xu Changping asked with excitement in his tone.

"Yes, it's Su Shi from a parallel world." The system replied affirmatively.

"System, you are really very secretive!"

Xu Changping sighed, stopped chatting with the system, and quickly placed the four treasures of the study he bought from the system on the table and started practicing calligraphy.

At this moment, he had no complaints in his heart. He felt that he was being enlightened by this great historian, but he still didn't learn from him. That would be really ungrateful.

It took Xu Changping two days to finally finish the homework to a level that satisfied him. He then re-entered the system and summoned Mr. Su.

The other party gave him some pointers, left him a copybook, and then left.

Xu Changping worked late into the night and corrected all the problems pointed out by Mr. Su before he was ready to go to bed.

“Bang, bang, bang… bang, bang…”

Xu Changping was startled when he heard the knock on the door. The last time someone knocked on the door was Su Yun, so he didn't know who it was this time. He quickly walked to the door.

Wow, this familiar fragrance made Xu Changping sigh helplessly.

Wasn't Su Yun taken back home by her sister? Why is she back again?

Xu Changping was extremely annoyed by the knocking on the door. Just when he was about to let the person in, he used the same trick to confuse her and send her back.

Suddenly thinking of her sister and brother-in-law, Xu Changping paused to open the door. Could these two be hiding outside?

Walking back to the study, Xu Changping kicked the corner of the wall, and a small door that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared on the back wall of the study.

This is the invisible door that Xu Changping bought from the system space and modified it himself. He just did it for fun at first, but he didn’t expect to use it today.

Xu Changping quietly walked to the west side of the house, wanting to see if anyone was following her. But when he saw someone at the door, he was stunned.

The person knocking on the door was obviously taller than Su Yun. After taking a closer look at her, Xu Changping was sure that this was Su Yun's elder sister.

Damn, this woman is really trying hard to test him. However, the fact that she did this today clearly shows that Su Yun is sober.

That's not right! Su Yun probably has no memory of the past two days, but looking at her outfit today, it's exactly the same as Su Yun's that day, even the perfume she used is the same.

It seems that Su Yun had this idea a long time ago, but did not implement it until a few days ago. Today, she came here dressed like this, obviously to test whether Su Yun's affairs had anything to do with him.

Without observing, Xu Changping could guess that there must be someone guarding the door of the East Courtyard, and once he opened the door, someone would rush in.

Xu Changping thought for a moment, then slowly retreated to the back of the room and returned to the house. He was prepared to remain unchanged in the face of all circumstances and wait until the people at the door left before dealing with them.
