It was difficult even for a sage to remain unaffected by things, untroubled by the heart, and undisturbed by others. His mind was clear and tranquil, yet he still went about having dinner with Xu Chun as usual. He even found time to check on Xu Chun's progress in his studies, to which Xu Chun…- 643.5 K • Completed
