Chapter 434 - 3: World Turmoil, Finally Seeing Shaking Light
"Yan Xuanji? I’ve never heard such a name..."
"You still have so many friends, after all, you are the Master." Yao Lianrong reflected, coming from a poor family, he came here to do some work for the Master, but also to audit his teachings. Therefore, in his eyes, the Master was the most incredible person in the world.
Ten years ago, in that heavy rain, the Master suddenly appeared in this southern city, and then opened a private school with only a dozen students. The Master must have had the talent of a scholar, but he did not delve deeply into it, only giving them basic education, and then sent them to other private schools to study.
Yao Lianrong had also audited other private schools, but he discovered that the things those well-read Confucian scholars eagerly talked about were occasionally inferior to what the Master had casually said during the basic teachings. Yao Lianrong knew, this was a fundamental difference.
Phoenix casually revealed a bit, incomparable even by those Confucian scholars who disputed over who was the Master.
Thus, he returned once again to the Master’s side.
Just now, the Master had taught him both literary and martial arts; only then did he realize what peerless talent was.
Today, while tidying up, Yao Lianrong stowed the letter away carefully, then helped the Master’s wife clean up the yard, fed the chickens, and squatted there stretching out his arms to dig; it took quite an effort to pull out two eggs, but he was pecked by the old hen until his arms were bruised blue and purple.
His Master’s wife asked him why he had come early today, and the young man respectfully replied:
"I remember the Master arrived on these days ten years ago."
"Previously, doing odd jobs, I saved some money and bought some meat and wine to give to the Master."
