After the apprenticeship ceremony, the Dean of the History Department stood up in astonishment. He pointed at An Ning, then looked toward Yu the Elder.
Understanding, Yu the Elder stepped forward and explained, "Mr. Shi Sr., please don't be alarmed. My master's knowledge, skills, and character all surpass my own. There's no need for surprise."
"However, my master prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't wish for our relationship to be known publicly for the time being. I hope you will look out for her."
The elderly man, Mr. Shi Sr., readily agreed. He was simply astonished by the age difference between An Ning and Yu the Elder.
The simple yet dignified apprenticeship banquet came to an end. Everyone ate the meal specially prepared by the Zhou Family, chatting in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
They were all acquaintances, so there was no need for formality.
