"Mr. Wuqu."
"Oh, it's Meng De."
Mr. Wuqu was tall and burly with a rugged face, dressed in an oversized Confucian robe. He appeared more like a martial artist than a scholar. He smiled at Qing Yu as he approached.
Mr. Wuqu usually paid close attention to this student named Meng De. He was disciplined in all aspects and unassuming, but what surprised people was his astounding learning pace and ability to grasp new knowledge. Thus, compared to Feng Jiu, whose archery skills had actually surpassed Qing Yu's, Mr. Wuqu was more concerned with this seemingly ordinary student.
"Mr. Wuqu, I feel that my archery skills have deeply advanced, and I would like to temporarily leave this course," Qing Yu respectfully said as he bowed.
Confucians emphasize the hierarchy of "heaven, earth, ruler, kin, teacher," so even though Mr. Wuqu didn't look like a scholar—even if he resembled a butcher—Qing Yu still had to show utter respect.
