In the inn, Wang Danlu wore many hats, serving as both the accountant and a teacher who instructed several children in their studies. She never expected Liu Ye'er to possess such an extraordinary grasp of literacy; all it took was a single demonstration for Liu Ye'er to accurately remember and fluently read the text. This talent left Wang Danlu both astonished and full of admiration.
Liu Ye'er also found herself in a difficult position. Having never received a formal education, reading too fluently might arouse suspicion. Although she could recognize most of the characters in the books and deduce the meanings of unfamiliar ones through context, her vast knowledge far exceeded what Wang Danlu could teach, yet she had to pretend she had never studied before. Consequently, she always relied on the guidance of Wang Danlu or Li Geng when reading.
Li Geng shared a similar sentiment, and his curiosity grew increasingly intense. He asked Liu Ye'er, "Ye'er, do you perhaps possess a photographic memory?"
