Over the next two weeks or so.
I still worked during the day and often went to Seventh Master's place at night to listen to his teachings.
I kept reading that book and, to my surprise, understood quite a lot of it. But I was a latecomer to all this, and I had previously been an atheist, so naturally, I couldn't understand everything.
But Seventh Master was immensely knowledgeable. I felt that even university professors might not know as much as he did.
In just two weeks, I discovered that he was proficient in astronomy, geography, geology, philosophy, and literature. As for spiritual cultivation, medicine, destiny reading, physiognomy, and divination, those went without saying. There was nothing he didn't understand.
I learned a great deal from him.
With his guidance, I was slowly coming to understand the things in the book that had puzzled me.
Besides that, he had many books at home, more than half of which could no longer even be found on the market.
My outlook began to change. I started letting go of many things, looking at life anew, and thinking about its meaning.

That person was An Ning.

A couple of days earlier, Seventh Master had told me that An Ning had grown up in an orphanage, without a father or mother to love her. In that environment, she hadn't received a good education, either.
An Ning had started stealing when she was little. She had that bad habit, and it had landed her in police detention
