He looked at Qiu Xuezheng, wanting to say something, but remembering Grandpa’s attitude last time, he didn’t dare to speak.

“Hmm,” Qiu Xuezheng lowered his head, slowly took a sip of tea, his gaze still fixed on the doorway, “Don’t go out these next few days, practice your large characters more, polish your temperament.”

Qiu Boqing went to meet the Ren Family, Ren Qian wanted him to make contact with Qiu Xuezheng on his behalf.

But when the words reached his mouth, he didn’t dare to say them.

About to go upstairs to practice calligraphy, the gatekeeper brought someone in, “Teacher Qiu, student Bai has arrived.”

Not just anyone could enter Qiu Xuezheng’s residence; he had informed the gatekeeper in advance.

Bai Lian crossed the threshold, slowly walking in. She was carrying a schoolbag and greeted Qiu Xuezheng politely, “Teacher Qiu.”

Her brows and eyes relaxed and casual.

Qiu Boqing did not recognize Bai Lian, his eyes flicked over her before he intended to go upstairs.

“… You’re still in the library?” After a long silence, Qiu Xuezheng spoke seriously, “You may not necessarily win third prize this time; there are many participants in the Orchid Pavilion Award.”

Qiu Boqing, who was about to go upstairs, paused in his steps.

He turned around abruptly, looking at Qiu Xuezheng, “Grandpa, you recommended her for the Orchid Pavilion Award?”

Qiu Xuezheng frowned slightly, “That’s right, her calligraphy is very unique, and her artistic conception is much stronger than yours.”

Qiu Boqing’s gaze shifted to Bai Lian. He rested his hands on the stair railing and looked at Bai Lian with an inquisitive and competitive air, “What did you score at Level 9?”

Hearing his question, Qiu Xuezheng also looked at Bai Lian.

Bai Lian’s cold white face showed little expression, only raising her eyebrows slightly as she slowly inquired, “What Level 9?”

“CCPT,” Qiu Boqing’s face became colder, his eyes growing colder as he watched Bai Lian, the inquisitive look fading away, “Calligraphy and painting ranks, you haven’t taken this test?”

Bai Lian was not even clear on what CCPT was, merely frowning, “Do I need a certificate for that?”

What does a certificate prove?

“It seems you haven’t even taken Level 9,” Qiu Boqing withdrew his gaze, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, he looked towards Qiu Xuezheng, “Grandpa, who exactly is she? Why would you prefer to recommend someone who hasn’t even passed Level 9 over recommending my junior sister?”

“Qiu Boqing,” Qiu Xuezheng slammed down his teacup with a “snap” and scolded, “Mind your language, once you’ve seen Student Bai’s work, you’ll understand.”

Qiu Boqing was very dissatisfied that Qiu Xuezheng hadn’t recommended Ren Wanxuan.

“Let’s wait until she has passed Level 9,” Qiu Boqing turned around and went back upstairs.

Behind him, Qiu Xuezheng shook his head.

Unlike Qiu Boqing, he knew that Bai Lian was unaware of even the Orchid Pavilion Award, not to mention CCPT. It was beyond his expectations yet rational, which made him all the more curious about who Bai Lian’s teacher was, which hermit it could be.
