Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Face-Slapping! 4
Ruan Shushu’s face was ashen, her body trembling slightly.
Tears rolled down again, trying to make a final plea, “Master…”
“Don’t call Master anymore. I won’t announce that I’m expelling you from the sect, but you must no longer consider yourself my disciple.
As for the matter of the National Studies Association removing your na, I will find an appropriate reason later and won’t tarnish your reputation.”
This was already his greatest leniency.
Yan Yuexian smirked, so generous indeed.
Speaking of it, he didn’t really punish Ruan Shushu at all, only took back what she stole from Xia Weibao.
Besides, Ruan Shushu actually benefitted.
Originally she could only attend a regular key university, but because of this matter, she beca a student of Imperial City University.
And she gained a reputation too.
Although Yan Yuexian thought it could have been handled more harshly, she also knew Pei Hong wouldn’t go to extres.
As people age, they beco indifferent to things and prioritize harmony.
Ruan Shushu bit her lip, looking deeply wronged.
She resented Yan Yuexian to the extre!
If it weren’t for Yan Yuexian, the incident wouldn’t have been exposed, and she’d still be a mber of the National Studies Association, still Pei Hong’s disciple!
But all of this was destroyed by Yan Yuexian!
Without these two identities, what would her future be?
Imperial City University graduates so many each year, but only a handful are mbers of the National Studies Association, and as of now, Pei Hong has only had two disciples!
Compared to the latter two, what is the use of the Imperial City University student identity?
So people never realize their mistakes.
She doesn’t even consider that without Xia Weibao and Pei Hong, she wouldn’t even et the threshold for Imperial City University.
Let alone the National Studies Association, a place she can only admire for a lifeti.
Greed, akin to a snake swallowing an elephant, is much the sa.
Pei Hong was steadfast in his decision; Ruan Shushu’s words were futile, and she could only leave weeping.
The look she cast at Yan Yuexian before leaving chilled the spine.
But Yan Yuexian wasn’t afraid, as the Presidential Mansion’s daughter, she stood upright and honest, without the slightest fear of Ruan Shushu’s revenge.
After Ruan Shushu left, Pei Hong pulled Yan Yuexian to discuss Xia Weibao’s matter.
Should this matter be revealed to Xia Weibao or not?
It could be hidden from outsiders, but it didn’t seem right to conceal it from Xia Weibao, who was directly involved.
Yan Yuexian frowned, “Senior Pei, how about we don’t tell Xia Weibao about this? She was so good to Ruan Shushu before, even gifted her a zither worth ten million. If she knew her kindness was taken for granted, she’d probably be very hurt.
Anyway, the truth is now clear, and Ruan Shushu can’t misuse her reputation anymore; this matter can be considered settled.
As for the debt to Xia Weibao from this incident, perhaps inviting her into the National Studies Association, or how about you taking her as a disciple?”
Yan Yuexian probed.
Her thought was, if she could persuade Pei Hong to take Xia Weibao as a disciple, no one would dare bully her in the future.
This would be her contribution, repaying the favor of Xia Weibao gifting her the Scorched Tail Zither, so she wouldn’t feel perpetually indebted.
Pei Hong instantly wore a constipated expression, looking at Yan Yuexian with so annoyance.
Given Xia Weibao’s capabilities, she was considering his dignity by not seeking him as a ntor, so how could he even have the face to take her as a disciple?
A disciple being more talented than the master would be a joke.
Yan Yuexian was bewildered by his look, puzzled at what happened; had she said sothing wrong?
