"I'm very happy to be able to become your disciple."
These are Yang ZiMei's heartfelt words.
YuQing showed a faint smile and had her casually picked out a book from the bookshelf to study at home.
Yang ZiMei took a look at the <zhu> that was taken out. (1)</zhu>
Seeing her take the book, YuQing's glossy eyes faintly shook but did not say more and, instead, just lightly said, "Look over it well when you return."
Yang ZiMei nodded and got ready to descend the mountain.
YuQing worried that she'd encounter some danger descending because of her small stature. He also wanted to talk with her more so he held her hand and escorted her down the mountain.

Hearing that the numerical techniques included her most sought after method to induce fortune and avoid calamity, a feng shui arrangement for fortune and calamity, Yang ZiMei was ecstatic. She inwardly praised her own intelligence, to be able to suddenly acquire the book she wanted most.
Yang Qing returned after his lessons with a crestfallen face and drooped head. His original slightly humped back became even more hunched over, listless like an eggplant hit with frost. (3)
Yang ZiMei knew, it was because he was forced to admit wrongdoings at school.
She aggrievedly put down her book, ran over to him, grabbed his hand, blinked her eyes and said seriously, "Dad, don't be sad, it'll surely get better. They won't be able to run amuck for very long."
She was just looking at the collection of techniques, it says as a physiognomist, they can use feng shui arrangement to induce calamity and avoid fortune. It can also make a person's fortune deteriorate, to kill from a distance without being seen.
However, what she's currently learned and understood wasn't much. But she believes, by this astonishing talent, she would quickly surpass the level of the common vagrant charlatans.

1. Actual book but didn't come across the English title. Roughly translates as book of techniques.
2. Iono, had to search that and best answer for ηε εΆε was "interpromotion and interrestraint". Which doesn't make sense to so ima use "mastery". TL note: I die around here.
3. Apparently a northern metaphor about a listless spirit.
