Chapter 629: Working Hard in Secret
Uchiha Izumi was young, but she understood why her teacher had suddenly become so enthusiastic. Even so, she had no intention of pointing it out.
She did not care how it had come about. As long as her teacher was willing to teach her properly, nothing else mattered.
She looked delighted and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Teacher. Please don't think I'm too slow!"
Her teacher naturally liked such a well-behaved, considerate student. Teaching her was also a chance to build a good relationship with Lord Yin, and he had no intention of passing that up.
