"On the Source of Formation Formations" could only be read at Mr. Zhuang's place and could not be taken away.
In the following days, Mo Hua would always arrive early at Mr. Zhuang's Forgetful Residence and then find a quiet and comfortable spot to read alone.
If there were any questions, she would note them silently, and once Mr. Zhuang had finished his short rest, she would go and ask for advice. Mr. Zhuang would answer any question, and often with just a few words, he could unravel Mo Hua's doubts, which greatly impressed her.
In just a few days, Mo Hua's knowledge about formations had increased substantially.
Mo Shan's couple wanted to pay a visit to express their thanks, but Mr. Zhuang declined, saying he preferred solitude and did not socialize with others. He appreciated the gesture but insisted that a visit was unnecessary.
Although he said so, without any form of acknowledgment, Mo Shan's couple always felt somewhat uneasy.
