"I've learned a lot from Miss Gu," Quan Yin said humbly.
Gu Yuan responded gently, "Mr. Quan is being modest."
The two didn't really have much in common, but they managed to exchange a few pleasantries about modesty. Gu Yuan could deal with someone like Quan Yin, but didn't want to play cat and mouse with him too much—it was easy to get caught up in it.
No matter how you look at it, this person had eaten a lot more meals than she had. As long as he was associated with Quan Jin, he was an elder; even if not, he was at least a senior, having seen and experienced much more.
Casual chatter was fine, but she would be at a disadvantage in deeper conversations.
Fortunately, Quan Yin had other matters to attend to.
Yu Rujin planned to stay a few more days at the Gu Mansion, and following his mother's wishes, Quan Yin left first.
