At his father's sudden probing, Song Lingsu was taken aback for a moment, his brow furrowing.
"Surpass me?"
Song Zhiyuan casually remarked, "Although your third brother is young, as his father, I observe he has a talent for strategy and judgment. That's why I allow him to participate in the study sessions, listening and learning indirectly. Over time, he may not achieve great success, don't you fear?"
Song Lingsu questioned back, "Father thinks I should fear? Leaving aside the fact that my third brother and I aren't from the same mother, we are close in age, grew up playing together since childhood, and are undoubtedly like kin brothers. If he thrives, I can only be happy, where does this fear come from? Even if I don't want to admit it, my third brother is actually more decisive and strategic, bold and meticulous, with a child so wise, if he achieves greatly, it would be a great fortune for our Song family. Why should I fear?"
