After some persuasion, Chen Yi still refused, so Li Huai'gu had no choice but to leave the Xiao Mansion with Yun Xiang, looking disappointed.
The two of them sat in the horse-drawn carriage.
Yun Xiang noticed Li Huai'gu was preoccupied and asked softly, "Mr. Li, are you worried about how you'll explain this to Mr. Yue Ming?"
Li Huai'gu snapped out of it, shook his head, and said, "I'm thinking about Brother Qingzhou."
"Him?" Yun Xiang thought for a moment and said, "He seems different from anyone I've ever met. He's very... very easygoing."
Li Huai'gu sighed at her words. "Yes, Brother Qingzhou is truly one of a kind. He's easygoing and follows his heart, uninterested in worldly competition, fame, or fortune."
In his eyes, only a great scholar like his teacher could possess such a disposition.
