Yan Jun did not understand why Fang Shiyun asked this, but he still replied truthfully, “No, the best private room is upstairs. It’s usually not open to the public, but what does this have to do with the apprenticeship banquet?”
Hearing this, Fang Shiyun instantly realized that he had entered the wrong room.
Yingyun Hall was the Yin family’s territory, so they must be in the private room upstairs. His senior was also upstairs, but he entered the wrong private room and encountered a group of strange people. There was also a woman who wanted to acknowledge him as her master.
Fang Shiyun did not explain. He stood up and was about to leave. Everyone in the room gasped.
Xia Mengyan looked embarrassed and said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Fang, you…”
Old Madam Xia could not suppress the anger in her heart and questioned loudly, “Mr. Fang! You’ve already agreed to take our Mengyan as your apprentice. How can you go back on your word? You’re a master in the calligraphy world. How can you go back on your word?”
Xia Yunlou and Xia Ji also panicked. “Why are you leaving, Mr. Fang? What did we do wrong to make you angry? It must be a misunderstanding. Let’s sit down and talk!”
Fang Shiyun stopped in her tracks and frowned. “I never said that I wanted to take her as my apprentice.”
Was this group of people delusional? He had just walked into the wrong place. Was there something wrong with this group of people? Why were they forcing him to take on an apprentice?!
Fang Shiyun’s words were very clear. He was not going back on his word. After all, he had never agreed to it.
In an instant, Old Madam Xia felt her legs go weak and she felt dizzy.
Who said he did not agree? There had long been news that he was taking on an apprentice. Moreover, he had only contacted the Xia family before this and even prepared many gifts that young girls liked. Could it be that he had taken a liking to Mengyan?
How could he go back on his word? If he was unwilling to take Mengyan as his apprentice, then Mengyan would completely become the laughing stock of Li City!
Xia Mengyan’s expression was extremely ugly. Her body could not help but tremble slightly. Seeing her like this, Yan Jun could not stand it anymore and hurriedly asked, “Mr. Fang, didn’t you say that you wanted to take on an apprentice? And if you’re not here to attend the apprenticeship banquet, why did you come to Yingyun Hall?”
The moment that was said, the Xia family could not help but look up at Fang Shiyun.
That was right! If he did not accept apprentices, why was he here?
Fang Shiyun’s eyes were filled with impatience as he said angrily, “What’s wrong? Do I need to tell you my plans?”
His impatient tone and his previous denial had already explained everything. Fang Shiyun did not want to take Xia Mengyan as his apprentice at all. At this moment, the guests looked at Xia Mengyan with a trace of doubt in their eyes. The daughters who did not like Xia Mengyan just now were full of mockery as though they were watching a show.
In that case, Fang Shiyun was not familiar with the Xia family at all. The rumors of him taking on an apprentice were just spread by the Xia family themselves. Mr. Fang himself did not know anything at all. This apprenticeship banquet was just a cover.
Xia Mengyan clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms. She did not understand what was wrong. The apprenticeship banquet that was originally prepared had actually become like this.
Why did Fang Shiyun suddenly go back on his word? The news that the Xia family had gathered previously and Yan Jun’s words proved that Fang Shiyun wanted to take on ana pprentice. Could it be that the gifts were for another lady?
Humiliation and unwillingness filled her heart. Her eyes were red, and her tearful appearance made Yan Jun’s heart ache.
Fang Shiyun did not want to waste time on this group of people. It was his fault for walking into the wrong private room. He originally thought that the matter would be over after he apologized, but this group of people insisted that he take this lady as his apprentice. He was unwilling, so the old lady started to push him into a corner. She said that as a calligraphy master, he had gone back on his word.
But when had he ever agreed?
There were countless people who wanted to acknowledge him as their master. If everyone cried and forced him to accept them, he would probably have hundreds of apprentices.
He was here to look for his senior, but before he could see her, he bumped into a group of strange people. This made Fang Shiyun angry.
Just as he was about to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him. His eyes widened with joy. Just as he was about to call out, a sharp roar suddenly came from behind.
“Qiao Xi! You must have deliberately ruined Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet!” Old Madam Xia suddenly roared angrily, scaring everyone until their bodies trembled.
Fang Shiyun suddenly turned around and looked at Old Madam Xia in shock and anger.
