Yao Yan smiled gently. “We don’t have to rush today. Why don’t you leave the next day? We still have to request a leave of absence from the school.”
Yao Tang immediately shook his head. “Don’t worry. I’ll just let the school know.”
As she said this, Yao Yan didn’t say anything more.
Instead, he took a sip from his teacup and looked away. The man looked extremely calm and composed as if he had expected this response from her.
He didn’t look like he was in a hurry in asking her more questions.
“All right! As that’s settled, Tan Jian, why don’t you book us a plane for tonight? We’ll leave for Beijing today and prepare a hotel for Yao Tang to stay in.”
With a wave of his hand, President Tan finalized their agreement.
“There’s no need for a hotel. Tangtang can just rest at home.” He smiled in response.
Yao Tang was quick to refuse, “I think it’s better for me to stay with teacher. Not only will I be able to learn more, but I wouldn’t have to travel back and forth as well.”
“Yes, Tangtang can travel with us. We can make arrangements for her.” President Tansmiled. “You don’t have to worry about her, Young Master Yao.”
Just the thought of bringing his disciple to Beijing to see the elders was enough to make him feel ecstatic. His smile was so wide that it was starting to look unnatural.
“Yeah, we can handle this,” Tan Jian added as he glanced over at his phone.
President Tan nudged him. “Have you already booked the tickets? Hurry up!”
Tan Jian sighed, resigning to his fate.
Yao Yan, however, couldn’t help but look disappointed. It seemed that his sister really wanted to go with them instead of staying with him. While he was happy about the opportunities she had, he still wanted to spend some time with her.
Yao Tang avoided his gaze.
She really had her own reasons for going to Beijing.
In addition to the material she had obtained the last time, she now had two of the same material. And she still didn’t know the secret behind them.
She had long heard about the ancient books hidden in the Inner Pavilion’s library.
Perhaps she could find some clues there.
That’s why she needed to grab this opportunity as well.
Also, perhaps, by the time she had returned from the pavilion, her brother would’ve already forgotten all about this matter. Maybe then, he wouldn’t be asking her any more questions.
“That’s right. You can rest with us. Tan Jian and I will have everything set up for you. You wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.”
President Tan smiled. His voice was kind, much different to how he had spoken to his son.
“Then let’s not delay any further,” she agreed. “I’ll go pack my things, and we can leave. Do you mind joining me? I have some questions I need to ask you.”
“Of course.”
He nudged Tan Jian to buy their tickets before following Yao Tang up the stairs.
He was proud of how talented his disciple was. Although, he was a tiny bit disappointed that he couldn’t at the very least impart some of his knowledge to her.
However, now that she had some questions to ask, he was happy to answer her.
Soon, Yao Tang finished packing and went downstairs.
After saying their goodbyes, Yao Tang stayed in the Tan Family RV for the night, waiting to board the plane.
…
“Mom, thank you for bringing me to the teacher’s house. I’ll definitely try my best in the future.”
Yao Ran beamed at Qin Man.
Recently, Master Zhang has been using his sickness as an excuse to avoid her. Although he was still calm and kind during the phone call, it was obvious that he was avoiding her.
In the end, Qin Man had no other choice but to go to the Zhang Family home herself. This time, she had thrown away her pride and went another route.
“Just make sure you convince him, all right? Do you even know how to convince him?”
Her eyes were narrowed.
“I’m sure he’ll agree after hearing my reasons, Mom,” Yao Ran replied quickly. “You don’t have to worry.”
“That’s good. If he doesn’t agree, then you don’t have to contact him in the future. He’s already so old anyway—his mind must already be giving out.”
“Okay.”
Soon, they finally arrived at his home.
Yao Ran had been there many times, so she knew her way around. As she entered the living room, she saw Master Zhang sitting right on the sofa.
However, he didn’t look happy to see her. The atmosphere around them wasn’t as pleasant as it had been. He didn’t even pour her some tea as he had used to.
