"Master, you mustn't praise your disciple too much; otherwise, what will happen if the disciple becomes arrogant?" Knowing that she wasn't of poor aptitude, Mo Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief and, in her joy, spoke playfully.
Starting a few days ago, she was no longer able to comprehend anything from the medical books and thought it was due to her dull aptitude. She worried that she wouldn't be able to learn Mrs. Du's Nine Needles, but to her surprise her aptitude turned out to be quite good, which was really wonderful!
"Ha-ha, so tell me, can you become arrogant?" Doctor Du laughed as he asked in return, but he knew in his heart that this disciple was steady by nature. She might become proud, but she would never become complacent.
Mo Yan nodded vigorously, her eyes shining brightly as she said, "Having the opportunity to learn such exquisite acupuncture, how could I not be proud? However, the proudest one should be the grandmaster who created such a powerful needlework."
