Mei Juncang’s gaunt face broke into a smile that resembled a night owl. "Thanks to the two knocks from Teacher, I have managed to grasp seven or eight tenths of it."
Zhou Tieyi chuckled. "That’s good. At least you aren't a complete fool; I can finally teach you something real." He looked at Mei Juncang earnestly, thinking to himself: *Mei Qingchen, don't blame me. You asked me to teach him thoroughly, so I shall give him everything I have! As for the outcome, that is up to fate.*
