Bab 466: Chapter 354: After the Old Friend

"Emperor's Calendar, Year 1730.

Renyin year, Gengxu month, Xinyou day.

Three years of cultivation felt like the thirty years of seclusion I experienced in the past—the feeling of being a prodigy is marvelous. In the old days, I was like a study genius, nodding off and playing games every day and still managing to score full marks.

Life in seclusion was unbearably dull, so I took out the yellowed books and began to write in my diary once again.
