At Ding Nuo Academy, in the library…
Old Ding was copying out books when the teacher brought the group to him.
He put down the pen in his hand and looked at the teacher and the people who had arrived.
"Teacher Lan, who are these people? Why did you bring them to the library?"
Teacher Lan looked at An Jiuyue and said to Old Ding, "Old Ding, this lady is looking for you."
All these years, she was the only one who came to look for Old Ding. He had to treat her respectfully and bring her here. Where else was he supposed to take her?
"Looking for me?"
Old Ding raised his hand and stroked his long silver beard. There was no surprise in his eyes.
"She's from the border," Teacher Lan added.
Old Ding was now shocked.
She came from the border and was here to look for him directly. That meant…
"Miss, may I ask—"
An Jiuyue raised her hand to stop Old Ding.
