Zhang Min and Ding Luoluo expressed some amazement but did not dwell on other thoughts, as the conversation shifted back to Shitou.

"Yes."

Lu Yun nodded, and Zhang Min and Ding Luoluo were so surprised they almost lost composure.

"Shitou's childhood dream was to venture out into the world when he grew up. At first, he had no plans to go to college because he didn't dare dream that big. Since he didn't have the means to attend school when he was young, he started by secretly hiding outside classrooms, learning a few characters. Later, he followed my father and learned from him.
