"...Haha." Pei Ye laughed awkwardly, "Miss Ming, this, uh...this 'Snow Collapse', I didn't understand some parts of it."
Ming Qi Tian reached out and flipped through the pages: "It's the same as the one I saw in West Province. This sword technique relies almost entirely on the talent of the practitioner. There's not much to explain, for you, as long as you go over it carefully a few times, you'll understand it."
Her clear eyes looked at him: "How many times have you read it?"
"...roughly, once."
Ming Qi Tian paused: "If you don't take the time to read through it carefully before asking questions, it shows a lack of focus and patience, both of which are detriments to the practice of sword arts."
Pei Ye felt a tightness in his chest: "...I'm, I'm sorry."
"Did you not finish reading the 'General Discussion' and used this book as an excuse?"
"I'm nearly finished."
"It's been about a month since I left." She paused, "Bring the book over, I'll quiz you."
