Xiao Qi was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show it on his face and bowed even more respectfully.
"The student has made a mistake; please punish him, sir!"
Wan Suizhou said, "You were not yet considered my disciple before, so I had no reason to punish you. Now that you have paid your tuition, you are my student. If similar things happen again in the future, you will not be blamed for my punishment."

After leaving the Wan family's house, Xiao Qi took a fancy to the bamboo forest that was just a stone's throw away from the Wan family's house, but he didn't know what his intention was.

She flicked her sleeves, making a move to leave.
Wan Yuechi couldn't bear to see Baili Wanwan suffer even the slightest injustice, so he quickly pulled her aside, saying, "I heard him say that they're going to build a yard next to our house."
