Chapter 94

Qin Ke studied him for a moment, then suddenly bent down and kissed his forehead. Still not satisfied, he pecked his lips once more.

Rong Xi was deep in sleep, utterly unaware.

The next day at the hour of the Dragon, Rong Xi jolted awake from a dream, his head throbbing dully. After washing and dressing, Liu Zishi knocked and entered.

"My lord, Third Young Master has been waiting in the courtyard for quite some time."

Rong Xi was slightly startled and felt somewhat ashamed. When he reached the courtyard, he saw Rong Mo standing with his head lowered, a book in his hands.

"Third Brother, have you finished the book?"

This book was more profound than the first. Rong Mo had read through it in only a few days; his aptitude truly was exceptional.

Rong Mo did not answer. He merely opened to a page with a slip of paper tucked inside, listing the points that puzzled him.

Seeing how eager he was to learn, Rong Xi naturally would not stifle his nature. He told Liu Zishi not to wait for him to eat, then led Rong Mo to the study and patiently explained.

With every question Rong Xi answered, Rong Mo's eyes grew brighter. By the end, he was staring directly at Rong Xi, listening with complete absorption.

By the time they had finished, it was already the hour of the Snake.

Though Rong Xi's stomach was empty, his spirits were high. It was rare to encounter a student of such outstanding aptitude; his excitement was only natural.

"Go back and ponder it carefully. I'll make up some exercises when I have time, and you can answer them one by one. If there are no mistakes, I'll give you another book."

Rong Xi said with a gentle smile.
