Chapter 431 (2): An Accountant has Come to the Island
The little eel took on its human form as a young girl, then began scratching its own head, a habitual mannerism that it had picked up from Gu Can, who had, in turn, picked it up from Chen Ping'an.
"You look so stupid," Gu Can chuckled, and it hurriedly lowered its hand with a bashful grin.
"Let's go. He's Chen Ping'an, there's nothing that I can't tell him!" Gu Can decided with an expansive wave.
He swept his gaze over his surroundings, and the island that had always appeared detestable to him in the past had suddenly become much more attractive in his eyes ever since Chen Ping'an's arrival.
If there were to come a day where Chen Ping'an was no longer angry and was also willing to stay here, then this place would become the most beautiful paradise under the heavens!
Gu Can arrived at Chen Ping'an's room, and before he even had a chance to knock on the door, Chen Ping'an called out from inside, "Come in."
Gu Can entered the room to discover Chen Ping'an standing at the entrance of the study, and the desk inside was laden with paper, a brush, a carving knife, and a bunch of bamboo slips.
It seemed as if he intended to write something.

He tried to return to the very beginning, to the point of origin, starting from the most foundational principle.
This was the first step to the teaching of sequential order, understanding order.
