Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Fang Shiyun looked at the person in front of him and was slightly stunned. He sized up Yan Jun before saying casually, “Oh, you’re from the Painting and Calligraphy Association.”

Seeing that Fang Shiyun still remembered him, Yan Jun said excitedly, “Yes! I didn’t expect Mr. Fang to still remember me. It’s really my honor!”

The surrounding people were instantly stunned. The Xia family, whose faces were filled with disgust just now, hurriedly retracted the emotions in their eyes. Old Madam Xia also hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that she would offend Fang Shiyun.

Xia Mengyan stood at the side with her mouth wide open in surprise. This person was actually Fang Shiyun?

He was wearing an old cotton linen robe and looked so casual. He was actually the famous calligraphy master whose works were worth millions?

Fortunately, she did not have the time to say anything overboard just now. Her tone was still very gentle. Otherwise, if she offended Fang Shiyun, this apprenticeship banquet would be ruined.

Fang Shiyun did not have the time to look around. He found a random seat and sat down. He then asked Yan Jun unhappily, “Why are you here?”

Senior did not join the Painting and Calligraphy Association! Moreover, she was not interested in calligraphy. Why did she invite Yan Jun? Could it be that in her eyes, he was not as capable as Yan Jun?

Yan Jun did not notice that he was unhappy. It was normal for a master to be a little arrogant. He said excitedly, “Miss Xia was the one who invited me here. Miss Xia, come and greet your master!”

With that, Yan Jun waved at someone not far away.

At this moment, Xia Mengyan had already recovered from her shock and walked forward nervously. She revealed a sweet smile and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Fang. I’m Xia Mengyan.”

Fang Shiyun: “???”

Before Fang Shiyun could say anything, Yan Jun said obsequiously, “Miss Xia, I’m really envious that you can acknowledge Mr. Fang as your master at such a young age.”

Xia Mengyan smiled in embarrassment. “I’m just lucky to be able to become Mr. Fang’s apprentice. I’ll definitely work harder to learn calligraphy in the future. I definitely won’t disappoint Mr. Fang.”

Fang Shiyun: “…” ‘What are you talking about? When did I agree to take this woman as my apprentice? Isn’t this a little too funny?’

The members of the Xia family did not see the shock in Fang Shiyun’s eyes and only received everyone’s praise. Old Madam Xia’s vanity was satisfied, and her face was filled with a proud smile. At this moment, she really wanted to see Qiao Xi’s expression. Would she be shocked, envious, or ashamed?

Old Madam Xia gestured to the servant beside her. That person immediately understood and hurriedly left for the Yin family’s private room.

At this moment, Xia Mengyan and the rest of the Xia family were all immersed in their beautiful fantasies. The guests all went forward to congratulate Xia Mengyan and see Fang Shiyun, hoping to bring their sons and daughters to meet him.

“Mr. Fang, you’ve come a long way. You’ve worked hard,” Xia Mengyan said respectfully.

“Mengyan, why are you still calling him ‘Mister’ at a time like this?! It’s time to call him ‘Master’!” Old Madam Xia reminded her affectionately. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were so deep.

Everyone looked at Xia Mengyan expectantly and reminded her loudly, “Yes, Miss Xia! Mr. Fang is here, yet you’re still so polite. Hurry up and call him ‘Master’!”

Xia Mengyan looked at Fang Shiyun in embarrassment and smiled shyly and nervously. Just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly interrupted by Fang Shiyun.

“Wait!”

He was surrounded by a group of people just now and was unable to react in time. Now that he heard that Xia Mengyan wanted to acknowledge him as her master, he suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with doubt as he pointed at himself and asked, “You’re calling me ‘Master’?”

Yan Jun was about to explain that this was Miss Xia, the apprentice he had taken a liking to.

However, before he could speak, Fang Shiyun’s shocking words shattered the Xia family’s beautiful dream.

“Don’t call me that! I don’t accept apprentices! Besides, I don’t even know this woman. Why should I accept her as my apprentice?”

The entire venue was silent. Everyone stopped breathing.

Fang Shiyun’s words seemed to have slapped Xia Mengyan twice. The words in her mouth were stuck in her throat, and she could not say anything. She was about to suffocate.

Old Madam Xia’s face instantly turned ashen, and the smile on Xia Cheng’s face cracked.

After a long silence, Yan Jun said tentatively, “Mr. Fang, have you forgotten that this is your apprentice, Miss Xia? Today is her apprenticeship banquet.”

Fang Shiyun’s face was filled with question marks. What did he say? Why didn’t he know about it? Then, he suddenly reacted and hurriedly asked, “This is an apprenticeship banquet? Isn’t this the most luxurious private room in Yingyun Hall?”
