Shi Yue's thoughts stirred. Silver was always up to mischief, so it was rare for her to want to learn something. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse.
Given Silver's nature, if he taught her outright, she'd lose interest in a few days.
Shi Yue wore a troubled expression and furrowed his brow. "Jin'er is much more well-behaved than you. When I taught your sister, she could help me water the Spirit Herbs in the Spirit Field. If I teach you, you'll probably just cause trouble."
