Chapter 1047 Steal the Limelight
Xie Qiao nodded. “I remember. It’s all thanks to Master Yu. Otherwise, I would have broken my old bones.”
“Master and Second Young Master Xie should be very familiar with each other and have a good relationship, right? May I ask Master to put in a good word and bring us to see the old master?” Zhou Sijin probed.
At least it could be considered half a life-saving grace.
Fainting could be a serious matter.
“Well…” Xie Qiao smiled. “As far as I know, it’s not difficult to meet the old master.”
Hearing this, everyone immediately pricked up their ears.
Xie Qiao continued, “After the old master returned to the capital, he knew that many scholars wanted to meet him. So he asked all the teachers from the three academies to test their knowledge. If their knowledge is outstanding and their rank is higher, he can personally guide and take care of them.”
Fame was great, and sometimes it was not a good thing.
After the old master returned, it was not easy to leave the house, and he was often blocked by people.
It was said that a few years ago, when the old master went out in a sedan, he actually encountered several dramas along the way. Most of them were scholars who wanted to attract the old master’s attention and specially found people to cooperate with them to put on bitter scenes. Some of them were kicked out by their families because they were studying, some of them were so busy studying that they neglected their wives, and their wives ran away with other men…
At that time, her teacher lamented deeply. He did not expect that there would really be… all kinds of strange monsters in this world!
From then on, her teacher loved to conceal his identity and travel the world.
Therefore, it was not that Xie Qiao looked down on these people. It was just that her teacher had already set the rules.
“If you want to see him, you have to arrive earlier than the others or win the opportunity openly. As long as you are diligent enough, it is not impossible for you to be accepted as his disciple personally,” Xie Qiao said.
Her attitude was very soft.
Ding Mao pouted in annoyance.
Where did this stupid Taoist master come from to say such superfluous words!
Who did not know that there were rules when meeting the old master?
However, it was because they could not meet the academy’s requirements that they asked for Second Young Master Xie’s help, no?
Second Young Master Xie was his grand-disciple! Was this not a shortcut closer than any other ways?
“Just now, you said that Young Lady Zhou’s cousin saved your life, but now she’s not even willing to help with such a small matter. Sigh, ethics are changing everyday. The grace of saving a life is repaid with enmity!” Ding Mao carelessly shouted, “We all have the intention to learn. When we see the old master, we will definitely work hard and not lose face, yet Second Young Master is still so cautious. Are you worried that someone among us will gain the favor of the old master or Teacher Xiao and steal your limelight?”
Xie Qiao glanced at the others.
A few of them had already retreated to the side with furrowed brows because Ding Mao’s words were a little overboard.
However, there were still a few people left. They did not mind watching the show, or perhaps, they wanted to take advantage of Ding Mao’s influence to gain some benefits.
They did not think that this was just a meeting. It might not seem like much, but in reality… if it was done properly, their lives could be changed. Her teacher’s identity was important, and he was the Crown Prince’s teacher. As long as they were judged by him, regardless of whether they were good or bad, if they were thick-skinned, they could tell others that they had received Li Shiyan’s guidance. Those who did not know the truth would think highly of them.
Moreover, they were all so young. If they were really lucky and were chosen by her teacher, whether they were accepted as disciples or grand-disciples, there was no need to mention their future.
After Jiang Jinlu became his disciple, he went from a humble student to a talented young man. He was very popular.
Xie Pinghuai, this son of a bandit who had embarrassed himself many times, since becoming his grand-disciple, even though many people thought that he was still a little playful now, they would still believe that after many years, he would definitely have a bright future and would not be too bad.
Even the entire Xie family seemed to have been plated with a layer of gold because of Li Shiyan. They were no longer a simple and crude martial arts family.
