"Martial Brother, I am really infuriated."
"If it wasn’t for that old fart showing up, I was determined to kill someone today!"
Returning to their lodging, Mao Ruxue was immediately seized by anger.
She protested at Chen Chang’an.
"Alright, alright, next time I’ll let you beat someone up if that’s what you want, you crazy girl!"
Chen Chang’an could only express helplessness.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Qingxue.
"Miss Lin, by now I imagine you may have guessed the reason behind your Lin Family’s ordeal."
"So, I’d like to hear your thoughts."
The words of Chen Chang’an were simple.
The reason Lin Qingxue’s supply submission was unsuccessful today was entirely due to manipulation by the people from the Jixia Academy.
Their aim? Naturally, it was to deal Chen Chang’an a blow.
Indeed, who asked Lin Qingxue and her group to be saved by Chen Chang’an earlier, after all, they had also entered the city together.
This move was specifically targeting Chen Chang’an by Confucians.
As for Lin Qingxue and her Lin Family, they were just the scapegoats dragged into this mess.
"Mr. Chen, I..."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Lin Qingxue fell silent.
Lin Qingxue wasn’t foolish, she realized something was off about the day’s events.
At first, she might not have known why.
But after the recent conversation between two leading Confucians and Chen Chang’an, it wasn’t hard to guess.
Chen Chang’an wasn’t in a hurry; he was waiting for Lin Qingxue’s answer.
"Mr. Chen."
"Please accept me as your disciple!"
Then, Chen Chang’an was taken aback the next moment.
Saw Lin Qingxue suddenly knelt before him.
"Miss Lin, you want to be my disciple?"
Chen Chang’an was genuinely bewildered, he thought he’d misheard, and immediately sought confirmation again.
"Yes, Master. Please accept Qingxue as your disciple."
"Qingxue is willing to serve you for a lifetime!"
However, under Chen Chang’an’s incredulous gaze, Lin Qingxue still declared.
In her eyes, there was a trace of nervousness then resolute determination reassured her.
Chen Chang’an fell silent.
"Miss Lin, may I ask why you want to make me your master?"
"Master, I want to be a person who can control my own fate!"
At this moment, Lin Qingxue looked straight at Chen Chang’an.
In her eyes, there was sheer determination.
It’s hard to imagine that a daughter of a wealthy family, usually mild and gentle, would have such unyielding eyes at this moment.
However, Chen Chang’an seemed to understand Lin Qingxue’s thinking.
Even though the incident today was intentionally caused by the Confucians,
The previous part, where Lin Qingxue and her family were attacked at the Qilian Mountain Range and where Young Master Li pressured her, most certainly were not staged.
There, the Lin Family had clearly been plotted against.
As for who was behind it, this matter had nothing to do with Chen Chang’an’s main storyline, so he didn’t delve deeper into it.
But it’s undeniable that someone was indeed scheming against the Lin Family.
Even, there were more than one culprits.
This led to the Lin Family’s current precarious situation.
So much so that Lin Qingxue, who should be living a tranquil life among books, had to step up and bear the administrative responsibilities of the family.
Shouldering the burdens of a large family is a difficult task for a woman.
Very difficult!
So, Chen Chang’an immediately fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said:
"Alright, Miss Lin, I agree to your request."
"I can teach you some things."
"But, Miss Lin, there’s something we need to clarify."
"By now, after what just happened, you should know my identity."
"You also know, I’m hardly beloved in Confucianist circles."
"If you were to join me, inevitably, you too will generate hostility."
"So, over this matter, Miss Lin, would you like to reconsider?"
"Master, Qingxue is not afraid, there’s nothing scarier than the current situation."
"So, please, Master, accept Qingxue."
Lin Qingxue said, immediately knelt once again before Chen Chang’an.
As she said, right now, she couldn’t think of anything more terrifying.
"This...?"
Chen Chang’an was genuinely at a loss for words at the moment.
Then, after thinking about it, he gave in:
"If you insist on it so firmly, then follow me in the future."
"However, about accepting you as a disciple, I can’t promise. For now, you can be my nominal disciple."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Lin Qingxue promptly broke into a joyful smile.
Then she quickly gave Chen Chang’an three respectful bows.
Looking at Lin Qingxue, who was kneeling and bowing so diligently on the ground, Chen Chang’an truly felt a bit queasy.
I’m just someone about to ’retire’, can’t you guys show some understanding to an elderly person’s feelings!
"Ah, get up."
"Yes, Master."
"Go back and pack up, tomorrow after the matters are settled, we’ll return to Tian Shui."
Chen Chang’an instructed.
Then, he turned to Mao Ruxue and the others, saying:
"Junior sister, Niece Zi Wan, please help this girl."
"Yes, Martial Brother."
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, both Mao Ruxue and Li Zhiwan promptly nodded.
Then, the three ladies left.
Only Chen Chang’an remained, continuing his repose in the room.
Regarding today’s events, Chen Chang’an didn’t care too much.
Confucians can do as they please, as long as it doesn’t affect his plan.
