Chapter 462 - As if he still was her Master

Everyone was dumbfounded. Rong Yan’s pretty face paled: “You…!”

Gu Ziyan, who was sitting with the judging panel, frowned slightly. His gaze fell on Yan Ziyuan: “Ziyuan, you are too much!” He used the same arrogant tone that he would use when he was still her teacher.

Yan Ziyuan looked at him indifferently: “Your Esteemed Gu, it is not your place to determine whether I’ve acted unduly or not.”

This was her first time being inconsiderate towards him in public! Further, it was the first time she addressed him as ‘His Esteemed Gu’ instead of teacher.

Gu Ziyan found himself in an awkward situation. His handsome face paled: “Ziyuan, you —!”

“Your Esteemed Gu, you and I aren’t in a master and disciple relationship anymore. Calling my name, in this way, is unsuitable and therefore I request you to please address me as Miss Yan”, Yan Ziyuan added.

‘Her estranged attitude and her disinterested speech!’ Gu Ziyan tightly clenched his hands, trying to endure: “Fine. Miss Yan, Rong Yan won third place in the last meeting. What’s wrong with her sitting next to you? Are you going to expel her?”

Yan Ziyuan glanced at Rong Yan. The latter’s head was lowered, but not enough, thereby allowing bystanders to glimpse the hazy, watery glints in her eyes. To the crowd, it felt like she was definitely the aggrieved party.

Fury flashed in Yan Ziyuan’s eyes! Rong Yan’s mother used the same White Lotus strategy to seduce her father. Pretending to be fragile, she ultimately caused Yan Ziyan’s mother’s death!

The saying was indeed true, like mother, like daughter!

Madam Rong’s daughter was also using this technique in order to gain the audience’s sympathy!

Yan Ziyuan pushed down the anger in her heart, and coldly retorted: “My friend and teacher arrived together with me, therefore we must sit together. As for Miss Rong, she only won third place in the last competition and nothing more! Many participants present here have obtained the same position, in former contests! Two candidates were even awarded second place, but you don’t see them sitting here. However, Your Esteemed Gu planned for her to sit here, above them? Aren’t you being a little biased?”

With regards to the seating arrangements, only girls of Yan Ziyuan’s status could sit there, and according to Rong Yan’s rank, sitting in this area wasn’t appropriate at all.

Since Ning Xuemo was Yan Ziyuan’s highly regarded friend and teacher, she could naturally sit in the section of honor.

Therefore, Yan Ziyuan’s protests weren’t unreasonable. Previously, when Rong Yan sat in that area, Yan Ziyuan would bear with it and wouldn’t bother mentioning something so petty.

This time, Rong Yan went straight to that section and sat down. Although the Main Steward thought it wasn’t appropriate, he didn’t make mention of it, to be considerate to Gu Ziyan’s face, Further Rong Yan was the adopted daughter of the City Lord Yan, therefore he accepted it.

But he didn’t anticipate Yan Ziyuan would make a fuss this time and surprised both himself and Rong Yan.

Since Yan Ziyuan didn’t intend to let her sit in the VIP section, her watery eyes looked towards Gu Ziyan to seek his assistance: “Big Brother Ziyan…”

Gu Ziyan’s complexion paled as he paused, and then ordered: “Rong Yan, change your seat!”

Rong Yan’s face became blank. Her heart was unwilling, but at this moment she had to obey him. In fact, she had no choice but to pick up her zither and take a different seat. The Main Steward reset the table.

The new seat was neither distant nor close to the platform. She was being placed with other competitors who also won second and third place, so she didn’t really have a valid reason to argue.

Meanwhile, Ning Xuemo was watching a good play. She didn’t intervene because, as she already expected, Yan Ziyuan was capable of teaching Gu Ziyan a lesson!

Honest men were always bullied and honest horses were always harnessed.

When necessary, one had to use their own momentum to pressure human beings.
