"Senior, I don't know any of these ancient characters. Please teach me. If I'm going to be able to copy more effectively, I want to be able to understand what I'm writing. I can learn something new along the way too!"
The old man curled his lips. "I've never heard that the act of copying books having anything to do with being able to read them. Just copy the books! Hurry up and get started. If you can't finish copying these books by this afternoon, don't even think about going back to sleep!"
After the old man finished, he disappeared without a trace again.
Yun Chujiu pursed her lips, but her heart was filled with joy. This old man only said that he would not teach her. That meant that he knew how to read those ancient characters.
'Hmph, as long as you know how to read them, I'll be able to get you to teach me sooner or later!'
