Wan's Private School, although being the only private school in town, didn't have many scholars, and Old Master couldn't earn much tuition fee annually.

Lifang also knew their prosperity was only superficial, but with Master Tian and the people from Jiang Family present, he couldn't afford to lose face. He turned and entered his father's study, took a copy of Analects and Three Character Classic from the shelf, and placed them in a basket.
