But before he could begin to sketch, Sun Yunfeng rushed over and said anxiously,
"Father, Mr. Ju Yi of Jinling Academy is here to see you."
Sun Fu froze. "Who did you say?"
"Mr. Ju Yi. He's in the courtyard right now. You should..."
Just then, a figure appeared outside the study and bowed slightly to Sun Fu.
"Brother Changming, I hope you'll forgive this presumptuous intrusion."
He showed no signs of age. He had distinguished, regular features, a mustache that drooped at the corners of his mouth, and a tall, slender frame. He wore a white long-robe beneath a blue scholar's gown.
Merely standing in the room, he exuded an air of scholarly elegance.
Sun Fu hurried to his feet and returned the bow. "It is I who should apologize for the poor reception. Please, forgive my lack of hospitality."
A great man's reputation precedes him.
Mr. Ju Yi was not only the headmaster, Mr. Da, of Jinling Academy, but also a world-renowned master of philosophy.
