The old man wasn't embarrassed at all and naturally said, "Well, I know quite a bit. The sealed materials from the academy are all stored here with me. When I have nothing to do, I treat them as strange tales to entertain myself."
Nian Shutong didn't expect this to be the reason, and thought it was Chancellor Hua Yuan who had told the old man.
"Okay, go ahead and read this book. I'm going to stretch a bit, and then we'll have a meal together before heading to the library, how about that?"
"Sure, sure, sure."
The old man couldn't wait to open the book and immersed himself in it instantly, completely undisturbed by the outside world.
He really is a bookworm!
In the yard, Nian Shutong once again began performing Tai Chi Boxing. Before long, Ma Lei from next door, having just finished his training, stood at Nian Shutong's gate, ready to learn.
But Nian Shutong, seeing the old man in the yard, said to Ma Lei, "Mr. Ma, come on in. We have a guest today."
