"Master, you just now..."
Back in the Shen Family's guest room quarters, Bai Hua's wife expressed her concern, "You should still be more polite, how could you be so straightforward? After all, the Shen Family... they're a Sorcerer Family, isn't our behavior... inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it?" Bai Hua gave his wife a look, "You just haven't adjusted your thinking. Times are different now. How much has our family, generation after generation of family heads, contributed to the Art Calculation and the study of properties? At least forty percent of the Jiugong Arithmetic was written by our family; even the Ministry of Revenue uses that text as a teaching material for Art Calculation. But has our family benefited from this? Let alone a Sorcerer Family, have those Scholarly Families that focus on the classics ever respected us?"
