When Lu Yang found out that the things he'd painstakingly written were 20% approved by Eldest Senior Sister, he was quite thrilled.
Being affirmed by Eldest Senior Sister, even though only 20%, was a rare and precious accomplishment. It was a good start.
It was a massive improvement from the last time when his work was entirely rejected.
His efforts of scrapping sleep to study intensively in the Scripture Pavilion for nearly a half-month, followed by two and more days of rack-your-brain writings, weren't in vain.
If this time Eldest Senior Sister affirmed 20%, the next time it might be 40%. It won't be long before he could produce a technique on par with Eldest Senior Sister.
The future was bright!
But when Lu Yang was about to modestly express that he still needed to work harder, he heard Eldest Senior Sister continue to say:
"The two portions you quoted were what I wrote, so I won't change them."
Lu Yang: "..."
