Master Zhang didn’t know that Shanna Orchestra was the one who had provoked Yao Tang first. Now that he knew, he felt as if Yao Ran had hidden tons of information from him.
He couldn’t help but be even more disappointed.
If it was really the orchestra who had instigated this mess, then it was only normal that they get what was coming for them.
It was also normal for Elder Xu to step up for Yao Tang.
“Were you the one who had questioned Yao Tang’s ability first?”
Master Zhang asked softly, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Yao Ran hurriedly shook her head. “No,” she protested. “She’s my cousin! How could I have done such a thing? It was said by the people from our orchestra. By the time I heard it, it was too late for me to stop them.”
Then, she sighed, “My cousin then proceeded to point out all of our mistakes.”
President Tan saw her eyes redden as if she was about to cry. He pursed his lips. “You didn’t bother to explain all of these to your teacher beforehand?”
Looking at her broken appearance, it looked like everyone out here was bullying her.
But in truth, it was the Shanna Orchestra who instigated all this trouble, not Yao Tang.
She was also the one looking for trouble!
What President Tan couldn’t understand was how they were so calm under these circumstances, as if they were the ones in the right.
“This…”
Even Master Zhang was speechless.
Yao Ran also couldn’t say anything. She was afraid that her next few words would only make both of the elders unhappy. If that were to happen, then she’d surely be unable to apply for the next assessment.
Her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred for the woman in front of her.
The more Master Zhang thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. The only thing he could do was bow his head and take large strides to escape Yao Ran.
He appeared to be panicked and uncertain.
This matter was something he couldn’t understand clearly, but now, it seemed that he had finally punctured through the truth of this matter.
However, this truth had now begun to take the form of a thorn in his heart.
That thorn was none other than Yao Ran.
If Yao Ran had hidden this matter from him, then what else did she hide from him? Could it be that she was hiding who she really was?
He shivered subconsciously. No, he shouldn’t think about it any further.
Right at the sidewalk, the atmosphere between Yao Tang and the two elder teachers became much stranger.
President Tan grinned. When Elder Xu averted his gaze to glance at the pavement, his grin widened even further.
He had spent so much time to find someone as good as Yao Tang.
He had thought that Elder Xu would easily take Yao Tang away, but he hadn’t expected that Yao Tang would actually refuse him just like that.
Yao Tang had always been indifferent to him, so he had assumed that she never really treated him as her teacher.
However, now he knew that her cold exterior was only a wall to cover her soft and warm personality. It seemed that she actually treated him as her teacher in her heart.
The more he thought about it, the brighter his face became.
But if Yao Tang were to find out about these thoughts, she’d probably instantly disprove him. After all, she didn’t want to acknowledge him as her teacher because it would only be too troublesome on her part.
She was far too lazy for it.
Upon seeing his smug look, Elder Xu couldn’t help but shoot him a glare. “Tangtang,” he called out. “You can report to the cabinet at any time. There’s really no need for you to attend any more assessments. If you have any problems, you’re free to come to find me.”
“Okay.”
Elder Xu quickly took out his phone and moved his fingers around the screen as quickly as he could. He was afraid that Yao Tang might go back on her word.
“Leave your number here. That way, I can contact you if there are any emergencies.”
President Tan stood by the side, feeling a little bitter.
Now, his disciple was going to give him her Wechat and number.
But it wasn’t as if he could say anything further.
However, when he remembered that Yao Tang didn’t acknowledge the elder as her teacher, his mood did improve a little.
Elder Xu smiled a bit this time around.
Now that he’d have her contact information, there was still time for her to change her mind. Who knew what would happen in the future?
