In order to sell his two treasures, Xu Jian spent his days lingering near Yishan Academy. He wished his eyes could turn into binoculars so he could clearly and distinctly see every single person entering and leaving the academy gates.

Forcing a calm demeanor, he drifted along with the ceaseless stream of pedestrians, gazing at the rows of street stalls.
