193. Ghosts and mythical beasts!

```

After running up the mountain in the morning and coming back, I went to my room for a shower and a rest at around nine or ten, and then started studying with Grandma.

I was always there with that little notebook, recording diligently, listening attentively.

Before I made my vows, Grandma never seriously discussed the intricacies with me. Sure, I knew quite a few things, but if you're talking about a serious, systematic explanation, I hadn't heard a word.

Now that Grandma had started explaining, how could I afford to miss it?

Ninth Master Chang always seemed a bit disdainful, and I understood what he meant because I used to handle things without any proper methods, and things still got done.

So what's the use of learning these things now, but I was listening earnestly every day, not for anything else; I might not follow what Grandma said, but I couldn't afford to be ignorant.
