Lin Shan felt that Guang Hao, with his grassroots origins, probably lacked the money and opportunities to obtain advanced cultivation methods, so he could only use this excuse to comfort himself.
She did not expose him, merely keeping the matter in mind and wondering whether she could offer him suitable advanced cultivation methods if she decided to win him over.
Still, there was no hurry. Cultivation methods suitable for high-level cultivators were not so easily found.
Her main purpose today was to keep him settled.
After talking with Fang Qianyuan for a while, Lin Shan worried that he might be bored hiding in the rear courtyard, so she offered, "Fellow Daoist Guang, we have a Clan School near this Separate Courtyard, which also teaches the valley's youngsters. Would you be interested in visiting?"
"A Clan School?" Fang Qianyuan's interest stirred. "Very well. There's nothing else to do anyway. Let's have a look."
Thus, the two left the Separate Courtyard together and went to the Lin Family's Clan School, several miles away near the Medicinal Garden.
A group of boys and girls in their teens were there, divided into several classes, each studying different subjects.
Since they were merely taking a leisurely stroll, their arrival did not disturb anyone. Neither had any intention of displaying their prowess before others, so they stayed behind a low slope, watching the clearing below from over a hundred zhang away.
A middle-aged instructor dressed in blue was teaching the Spirit Command Dao to a group of twelve- and thirteen-year-olds there.
Aristocratic clans did not place as much emphasis on foundations as sects did, and their children generally began studying the Spirit Command Dao earlier than sect disciples. This was meant to produce useful people more efficiently.
Thus, Fang Qianyuan did not find the sight unusual.
