After four months of uninterrupted learning from the Serpent Demon Ancestor, Lin Yi prepared to take his leave, reasoning that one shouldn't just shear one sheep all the time. It was necessary to take turns; what if the sheep were to be sheared bald?
He folded his hands and bowed, "Senior Serpent, thank you for your teachings during this period, which have been immensely beneficial to me. I have imposed on you for quite some time, and I will certainly express my gratitude in the future. I plan to bid farewell tomorrow and seek instruction from other seniors."
Upon hearing these words, the Serpent Demon Ancestor couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Long Ao, it has only been a few months. Why not stay a bit longer?"
In the past few months, though he had been ceaselessly instructing Long Ao every day, he had been filled with a sense of accomplishment in teaching a disciple and had not felt the slightest bit of tedium.
