The following noon.
It took quite a while waiting at the harbor before Lady Earth Flow saw Sun Wukong arriving at the merchant ship, carrying a heavy load of books.
"Sir, why do you bring so many books?"
A twitch formed at the corner of Lady Earth Flow's lips.
"Traveling far means I need some books to read on the way."
Sun Wukong replied.
"Truly a bookworm."
Lady Earth Flow thought to herself.
She led Sun Wukong onto the merchant ship and into a cabin: "This is your room, sir. It's a bit small, please don't mind."
Sun Wukong didn't care about the size of the room, and with books in tow, he walked in. However, the door seemed too narrow and, inadvertently, his carrying pole hit the door frame, causing two books to fall.
Lady Earth Flow picked up the two books and after a brief glance, a trace of surprise crossed her face.
"Sir is also a scholar of runes?"
It was a book about rune materials and manufacturing.
"Just a bit interested."
