The day after returning to the academy, Cheng Zitong handled his morning affairs. As noon approached, he eagerly drove to the academy's Lakefront Garden facility on the east side. The moment he walked in, he asked, "Where's Senior Brother?"
The gatekeeper said, "Manager Cheng, the old master is teaching his student how to wield Force."
Cheng Zitong took off his sunglasses and glanced at the man. "Old Qian, you're getting on in years. Doesn't Senior Brother have any consideration for you? He still has you watching the gate?"
"It's no trouble. The old master is just looking out for me," the gatekeeper said with a slight bow.
"All right, I'll go find him myself."
Cheng Zitong had driven here in a hurry, but now his urgency seemed to evaporate. He strolled leisurely inside until he reached the edge of a lotus pond. From there, he watched Qiao Linhu instructing his student in the waterside pavilion, a faint smile on his face, making no move to approach.
