Zhao Jing cupped his hands. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Lord Prefect. It's just that I am still young. While it may be considered brave to press on, I would rather take two more years to deepen my knowledge."
Mr. Sheng watched Zhao Jing with a profound gaze. After a long moment, he spoke with deep meaning, "You, boy... you have grand ambitions."
Zhao Jing didn't deny it. He simply said, "I am still young. There's nothing wrong with being ambitious."
Mr. Sheng gestured at him from a distance. "Since that is the case, I wish you swift success in achieving your desires."
"And I wish the same for you, Lord Prefect."
In just a few simple sentences, it seemed as if the two of them had said nothing at all, yet at the same time, had said everything.
