“Sky Mind like knife . What does that mean?” Qing Li held the wood board and wrote down the four words . She looked at Han Sen with a modicum of confusion . She knew the four words, but she did not understand the meaning of their combination .
“Go home and look it over . When you understand it, you can write it . And when you can write it, I will take you as a student . ” Han Sen smiled .
“As long as I am able to write out those four words, you can accept me as a student? That simply?” Qing Li did not believe Han Sen . Copying out four words to pass a test was far too easy .
“Yes, it is that simple . Now, go and practice . But I have a rule for you to follow, and that is, you cannot ask for the aid of others . You have to write this out by yourself . If you get help to do this, then you forfeit . ” Han Sen smiled .
Those four words were simple, but copying them was not easy .
The words Han Sen wrote contained the Teeth Knife knifemind . The words could be copied, yes, but the feelings they elicited could not .
He gave Qing Li this task because he wanted her to give up in her pursuit . That being said, if she did understand the meaning behind the text and could copy it as she had been instructed, then she’d be something of a genius . No one would mind taking on such a student, if that was the case .
“Okay, you said that . No regrets now . ” Qing Li was too young, and Han Sen thought she was too naive . She didn’t understand the real task that she had been given .
“I won’t have any . ” Han Sen smiled .

Qing Li left for home quite merrily with the wooden board . She planned to write down four beautiful words for Han Sen, so he’d have no choice but to accept her as a student .
When she was back home, she could not wait to start practicing .
Rebate generally took their education seriously, but Qing Li was an exception to that rule . She studied, but she didn’t focus on it too much . She’d finish any homework she was given, but she wouldn’t go the extra mile with practice .
It was fortunate that Flower King was good at teaching and that he had forced her to practice some writing .
Qing Li’s writing was not the best, but it wasn’t too bad, either . If this was just writing, Qing Li had a chance .
But when Qing Li started to write out the words Han Sen had given to her, she felt rather strange . And that was because she was unable to write them out like he had . When she started, she thought they looked similar, but the further she went, the more she realized they drifted apart .
“Weird! Why is this happening?” Qing Li held up the wooden boards to investigate . It was then that she realized the words were changing .
They weren’t exactly changing, though . It was because the markings on the board were getting deeper, and the words elicited the feeling of them changing . It was as if the text could move .
“Teeth powers . ” Qing Li immediately realized that the words Han Sen had written out contained the power of Teeth . Teeth powers were breaking the wood; that was what was happening .

But no matter what, this would not scare Qing Li away . It actually flared her curiosity and her urge to go on . She swore to her god that she’d write it all out, if it was the last thing she did .
This time, Qing Li tried her hardest . She kept trying to write down Han Sen’s words and practicing the knife skills at the same time .
As the daughter of Flower King, many teachers would be willing to teach her if she was willing to learn writing and knife skills . Plus, Flower King had a wide collection of writing techniques, and she was a naturally smart woman . So, it should not have been too difficult .
It was hard to learn writing in such a short time . But the added pressure made her focus more . The more she watched Han Sen’s words, the more fascinating she found them .
It wasn’t because of how well they were written, though . It was because the knifemind was so strong .
As Qing Li looked into the writings and the knife skills, she realized that the four words were really unpredictable . The more she wrote, the less she found herself following . She was starting to think she couldn’t practice it at all .
Pat!
After ten days, the wooden board cracked . The knifemind and the Teeth powers broke the boards . And then, the four words disappeared .
Qing Li was shocked . She understood that this was the time limit given to her by Han Sen . She felt depressed . She had failed to copy them down, and on top of that, they were now broken . She had failed the test .

“Qing Li, why have you been hiding yourself away at home for so many days? The event is going to start!” A woman’s voice sounded from the outside, and then she pushed the door open .
The person who entered was a Rebate woman the same age as Qing Li . Her name was Du Lishe . She was Moon Wheel King’s daughter, and they were members of Moon Garden . They were also best friends .
Qing Li was an outgoing person . But she had been hiding away at home for ten days, and she hadn’t gone looking for her friends once . Du Lishe was curious about what was going on, and so, she came looking for her friend .
“The Buddha is already here . Why don’t you come take a look? Why are you hiding at home?” Du Lishe asked .
“Ah, you are practicing writing? Did Uncle Flower force you to?” Du Lishe saw writing all around the place . She picked up one and went on to say, “The words aren’t bad . You have definitely improved . ”
“Father did not force me . I wanted to practice this myself!” Qing Li shook her head .
“That is strange! You are practicing writing out of choice . That’s not your style at all . What made you take this up?” Du Lishe looked at Qing Li with surprise .
Qing Li looked depressed and said, “You know I admire the queen? Well, I want to be her student . But she said that I am not qualified enough to learn Teeth Knife, and so she did not accept me as a student . ”
“I know . But that was a long time ago . Is this still on your mind?” Du Lishe said .
Qing Li shook her head . “Queen is my idol, and that’ll never change . So, I thought that if I could not have her as a teacher, I would become the student of her student . Then, that would make me her student’s student . It can’t be all that different, can it?”
The daughter of Flower King is becoming Han Sen’s student? Even if you wanted to obey him, I doubt he’d take you . ”
Du Lishe smiled .
“He didn’t reject me . He wanted me to write down four words . If I do them successfully, he’ll take me as a student,” Qing Li said .
“So, you’ve been practicing how to write this the entire time?” Du Lishe saw that all she had written were sky mind like knife .
“Yeah, I have been practicing for so long, and yet I still fail!” Qing Li felt depressed .
“How can it be so difficult? Let me see . ” Du Lishe was curious about this .
Qing Li shook her head . “The text is gone . ”
