Yun Meiyi frowned at his words. She agreed to him, but at the moment, she couldn't bring herself to be harsh. But at the same time, she couldn't let it slide off as well.

To which the philosopher spoke, "I am the young philosopher who has been helping the court of realm with needed philosophical recommendations. I also assist my senior masters in reading the position of planets and stars for the benefit of the realm." 

Although Yun Meiyi didn't understand much about his skill, she understood that his work was to read and learn. So, thinking for a moment, she said, "I can't give you my forgiveness for free because your words did offend me. But I can help you redeem your mistake, if you are willing."
