Bab 173: Tutor Ye Yuan (2)

Ye Yuan fell into a deep silence with his hands clasped atop the desk and eyes half-shut. Appraising Ji Fengyan, his gaze did not betray his emotions.

After a long time, Ye Yuan finally unclasped his hands and leaned back slightly, resting against the back of his chair.

"Ji Fengyan, to be honest, of all the children I have mentored in the Ji family, you held the most potential. Consequently, I was full of expectations for you when you were first sent to me. However, there were no results even after half a year's efforts. I don't mean to raise this, but your Senior Brother Ji Mubai—and even your peers outside—they were all much more outstanding than you. In the end, you could not resist the pressures of the outside world and ran away."
