Li Qing became the "fool" according to Xuan Chen Zhenren, almost getting berated into a sieve.
When this cheapskate master of his didn't care, he could hardly be bothered to say an extra word.
But when it really came to discussing something, he seemed to want nothing more than to break open Li Qing's head and pour the knowledge in.
Even someone with Li Qing's mental fortitude almost got mentally shut down by it all.
Zi Ling, who followed by his side and reveled in his misfortune, almost split her sides laughing and secretly urged Jing Yan not to meddle too much.
Saying that she too was scolded like this by her master on normal days, Jing Yan, who initially felt some sympathy, gave up on the idea of trying to persuade after hearing Zi Ling's words.
After all, in her era, respecting one's teachers and valuing the Way concerned one's character.
