Chapter 134 - Raised By The Concubine

Xie Qiao's question stunned Qin Liu. "Even if there is, nobody will bet that he will succeed. This bet won't happen. Also, you don't understand since you've just come to Imperial City. Teacher Xia is rather stubborn. Until now, he has never taken any student under his wing. Even though the students have astounding talents, Teacher Xiao has never been satisfied."

As soon as one took a disciple, it would mean that they had a half-son. The disciple would be treated differently compared to the students at the academy. Naturally, one would have to be careful in that.

If he took a disciple who was a troublemaker as the master, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

Therefore, unless Xie Pinghuai had dirt on Teacher Xiao, he would never accept Xie Pinghuai as his disciple..

However, Xie Qiao was rather excited.

She was too poor. If someone was willing to bet, she would win a big sum a few months later.

It would be inappropriate for Qin Liu to talk more about Xie Pinghuai. After all, she could not find anything to compliment him, so she changed the subject instead.

"About accepting disciples, I heard the Crown Prince wanted to take one the past few days. However, we found out that it's not happening when it was spread. Someone asked today, and Imperial Bodyguard Zhou said it was just fake news. I wonder what happened," Qin Liu said.

Xie Qiao recalled what Imperial Bodyguard Zhou had said when he looked for her.

She had a faint feeling that the Crown Prince wanted to take her as his disciple.

Xie Qiao thought to herself narcissistically. She was just too outstanding.

However, an otherworldly expert like her did not lack a master.

There were not many who were curious about the Crown Prince wanting to take in a disciple. The reason being he had always been unpredictable. Therefore, nobody knew what to make of it exactly.

Xie Pinghuai, on the other hand, attracted a lot of attention.

Xie Pinghuai went to Teacher Xiao's courtyard again after he was done with one class. He knelt there and did not get up.

The passersby were talking about him.

Fortunately, Xie Pinghuai had thick skin. He did not think that he was embarrassed. He was mainly worried about being hit.

Xie Qiao went over to take a look. She thought her brother was honest, at least.

"Ha, I think there's something wrong with Xie Pinghuai's head. Now he's done something that's even more foolish than what his younger sister did! Who is Teacher Xiao? I suppose he will throw up when he sees Xie Pinghuai!?" someone said while laughing among the crowd.

It would not be embarrassing if Xie Pinghuai begged for a master with the white jade.

Given his sister's connection, she could definitely write Xiao Yurong a letter and get him to accept Xie Pinghuai. However, that would be inappropriate.

It would not be a good thing for Xie Pinghuai if he became a disciple of such a capable master so easily.

"Lower your voice. Didn't you see Xie Pinghuai's sister, Xie Qiao, standing over there? Watch out. She might stir trouble with you!" Another person teased.

That person laughed out loud. "Come at me! She doesn't look too bad. I can marry her and make her my concubine!"

Xie Qiao looked over.

That person had sharp and yellowish teeth. His hair was thin, while his eyes were hollowed. He was rather dispirited. As for his physique, he had a small head and a big body. Short upper body and long lower body. He lacked in form. People like that had a short life, and he would not live long.

He spoke boastfully, and his bones were eminent. He must be a spoiled young master at home. That remedied his lack of luck, but he would not live over 40.

"Poor face, filthy mouth, evil heart, ugly man..." Xie Qiao said slowly, "I suppose your father's concubine raised you, young master? It doesn't matter. There are many outstanding bastards in the world. However, young master, you are different. You look like you're ready to love. You're interested in many women out there. Perhaps you want those at home who don't belong to you as well. You're a disgrace to your family."

Everyone fell silent as soon as Xie Qiao spoke.

Meng Jifang had joined the show too, and he was shocked when he heard that.

"How did you know that his mother is a concubine!? Many have no idea about this!" Meng Jifang said by instinct.

The person Xie Qiao was criticizing was named Yuan Bin. He was the only son at home. The concubine had given birth to him, while his birth was registered under the father's wife's name. They told the public that the wife raised him, but the concubine was the one who raised him. The family had the culture of doting on the concubine and silencing the wife!

Yuan Bin's cheeks flushed. He was furious and glared at Xie Qiao as if there was poison in his eyes.
