Special Permission to Go to School

Lu Shu had two aims coming to the Capital. The first was to pay his respects to Liu Xiu and spend his first New Year after his death with him. The second was to annoy Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin.

When Shi Xuejin heard Nie Ting say that Lu Shu had gone to the Babaoshan Cemetery, he could not help but be silent. He said to Nie Ting, "He has a good heart. Perhaps you have made a good decision. If Lu Shu became the person in charge of overseas affairs, we may be able to reduce the number of comrades sacrificed overseas."

"If it were someone heartless, they would probably only care about their own life or about completing their tasks. They would not care about the lives of others." Nie Ting nodded his head. "These kinds of people are only suitable to be assassins, not leaders."

Shi Xuejin looked at Nie Ting. "You are talking about Cao Qingci, right? Then why did you still prepare to pass down sword techniques to her?"
