Chapter 787: Can I Take You as My Master?
Huang Zifeng was both dissatisfied and helpless.
ngyu was right; it was she who started the trouble first, and when given a chance to step down gracefully, she was ready to take it. But Nan Mingzhu intervened, and with others chiming in, it left her unable to step down with dignity.
Her father had specifically warned her not to take advantage of his power to bully others at the academy. If her father found out that she stood up for Nan Mingzhu today, who knows what he would think?
Moreover, after hearing ngyu’s explanation, she realized that she actually shouldn’t have stood up for Nan Mingzhu.
Seeing ngyu shatter that solid wood table, she regretted even more that she had offended a martial arts expert.
She silently blad Nan Mingzhu in her heart.
On the other hand, she also began to ponder the rumors that Jiang ngyu was actually the Eldest Miss Nan. If you, Nan Mingzhu, are truly innocent, why seek out soone to deal with Jiang ngyu?
There might be no smoke without fire. If what Jiang ngyu said was true, perhaps she really is the Eldest Miss Nan?
Otherwise, she couldn’t understand why soone would want to go against her when she was so young, forbid her from studying, sell her off into the mountains after she was admitted to university last year, and then do everything possible to prevent her from going to Beijing this year.
The key point was, among those sent out, there were people from Nan Mingzhu’s faction!
The more Huang Zifeng thought about it, the more she felt that ngyu being persecuted might well be because she was the true Eldest Miss Nan!
She took a deep breath, a look of determination in her eyes, walked toward Jiang ngyu, and gave a deep bow: "Student Jiang, I apologize to you."
No one expected that Huang Zifeng, the daughter of the academy’s vice dean, would apologize to ngyu.
Nan Mingzhu called out: "Student Huang Zifeng, you did nothing wrong, what are you apologizing for? Co here, I’ll treat you to a big al.
However, Huang Zifeng looked at Jiang ngyu, waiting for her response.
ngyu smiled: "It’s okay, you were just used by others, you beca soone else’s pawn. Just be more careful in the future. Today, I’m inviting all the dormitory students to a al, do you want to join us?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Zifeng said excitedly, imdiately pulled over a chair and sat next to ngyu: "Student Jiang, can I sit next to you?"
Nan Mingzhu was dumbfounded: What’s going on with Huang Zifeng, actually choosing to accept Jiang ngyu’s invitation?
She urgently said: "Student Huang Zifeng, let’s just go. My guard has driven here, let’s go to the city center for a big al."
But at this mont, Student Huang Zifeng had eyes only for ngyu, and she just waved her hand at Nan Mingzhu: "Sorry, Mingzhu, I’m not going. I’ll just eat here."
Nan Mingzhu was furious, her carefully manipulated ally had been pulled away by Jiang ngyu with just a smash of the table.
Helplessly, she said: "Fine, let’s eat here too then, Boss, please take our order."
Looking at the stars in Huang Zifeng’s eyes, ngyu thought: This is a child who’s been pampered growing up, not bad at heart, just overly naive and easy to manipulate.
She laughed: "It’s no big deal. But—" she pointed at Nan Mingzhu: "Against soone like her, I can take on ten." In fact, against people like Nan Mingzhu, she could take on a hundred!
"Really, then can I take you as my master?"
In that era, eating at wasn’t an everyday luxury, especially for rural students, who could only enjoy at during festivals or when guests ca over. Thus, Nan Mingzhu was able to bribe classmates by treating them to braised pork.
But Student Huang Zifeng was different; she ca from a well-off family and was raised in indulgence; a al of braised pork wouldn’t bribe her.
ngyu guessed that Nan Mingzhu must have used the offer to teach her cultivation in return for her support. Thus, ngyu purposefully demonstrated her martial arts to attract Huang Zifeng over.
As expected, Huang Zifeng couldn’t wait to ask to beco her disciple.
