Before Ning Yichu could say anything, Fan Xiang, who was standing next to him, smelled something and came over. He hurriedly said, "Teacher Tang, Teacher Wen, why don't you two take a look at me too? I can learn from you!"

"Look, I've made some progress in jade carving now. Isn't it similar to porcelain making? You can teach me!"

Fan Xiang looked at the two old men eagerly. He had heard long ago that Tang Yaping and Wen Song were heartbroken by their own disciples, so they closed their doors to visitors. The man came from afar to become their disciple, but the two of them took one look at his talent and rejected him outright.

From then on, the works of the two were rarely published, and every piece of their work was sold at a sky-high price. Even their apprentices who had fallen out with them took advantage of their fame and made a fortune.

Now that the two masters have finally decided to take in disciples, how can he not take advantage of it!

Fan Xiang was so excited that his face was deformed, just like a pug begging for meat.

The two old men smiled politely and said, "Mr. Fan is quite accomplished in jade carving, so he doesn't need our guidance. Porcelain making and jade carving are naturally two different paths."

This is a polite refusal.

Fan Xiang's face drooped instantly, and he looked at Ning Yichu resentfully, as if he was going to rush over and bite her to death if she didn't agree.

"Ms. Ning, what do you think? Are you interested?"

Facing the two elderly people's extremely kind gazes, Ning Yichu smiled faintly and said, "Let me think about it first."

After leaving Morningstar, she did not have a clear plan for what to do next.

After all, the jade carving technology is there, and there are annual investment dividends, so you won't end up living off your savings.

"You still need to consider this? What are you considering?!" Fan Xiang really wished he could take his place.

His eager look made Xun Manyin, who was not aware of the significance of this, feel something unusual.

She had to half-beg the person to help her with things, but he was so fond of Ning Yichu?

For a moment, her previous humility seemed like a joke.

"Since it's such a coincidence, Miss Ning is the jade carver we are looking for..." Xun Manyin curled the corners of her lips, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

She opened her mouth and asked, "But Miss Ning should have been able to recognize her own work just now, right? Why didn't she tell me and asked me to find Teacher Fan?"

"You didn't ask."

Ning Yichu smiled calmly, his clear eyes meeting Xun Manyin's. "I was just about to explain the situation to the two elders when you came. Seeing you so confident, I thought I was just blind and recognized the wrong work."

These words, neither light nor heavy, completely blocked Xun Manyin's heart.

Her face looked grim for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She didn't come here today to quarrel with Ning Yichu.

"Then I came at an unfortunate time."

Xun Manyin smiled and changed the subject, turning to look at Wen Song and Tang Yaping. "Now that we've helped find the jade carver who created this piece, I wonder if you two teachers would consider helping to restore this porcelain?"

"No, Miss Xun, we are too old to do such delicate work."

Tang Yaping refused with a smile.

Xun Manyin's eyes were already showing a hint of displeasure. If she failed to complete this task, how would she explain to Xun Daisy?

Her eyes turned and her gaze stopped on Ning Yichu.

"Could you please, Miss Ning, act as a go-between and help me connect the dots? Only the two elders can do this craft, and I don't mean to make things difficult for you."

Xun Manyin had a smile on her charming face and her eyes followed Ning Yichu.

This was an attempt to borrow her favor. Ning Yichu was no fool, so she responded calmly, "I can't make the decision on this matter for others. Miss Xun, please discuss it yourself."

Qing Lu, who was already fuming from the previous words, was furious when she heard that Ning Yichu was unwilling to even help with such a small favor. She immediately became furious and asked impulsively, "Ning Yichu, do you really have to be so stingy?"

"When has our eldest lady ever offended you? Hasn't she been good enough to you and your child? I even gave you a carefully prepared gift today, but you are so ungrateful!"

Qinglu clenched her fists angrily, wishing she could curse out all the words at once.

"Qinglu." Xun Manyin frowned disapprovingly and motioned for her to step back.

But Qinglu couldn't control her mouth and said without thinking, "I'm not wrong! Why does she..."

“That’s enough!”

Wen Song, who usually had the best temper, suddenly frowned.

Ning Yichu is the benefactor of their family, and there is absolutely no reason to let his benefactor be insulted in their own small courtyard!

"Get out! You are not welcome here!"

Wen Song was so angry that he pointed outside the door and said, "Forget about repairs. We've refused twice. You don't need to come here again!"

Xun Manyin felt humiliated and her face turned pale.

"Teacher Wen, there's no need for me to rush you!" Fan Xiang said with a timid smile, "Teacher, I can smell the delicious food..."

"You get out too!"

With a broom, Fan Xiang was sent away.

Fan Xiang covered his butt and cried out in pain, then ran away with a look of regret on his face.

Seeing that they looked like they were trying to drive her away, even though Xun Manyin wanted to explain for Qinglu, she had no way of doing it to stay.

He could only be driven out with a gloomy face along with Fan Xiang.

With a "clang", the door of the courtyard closed.

Xun Manyin's face was terribly gloomy, but Qinglu hadn't realized the problem yet and continued to talk angrily.

"Miss, could it be that Ning Yichu knew about this and came here on purpose to intercept it? You just arrived and she's already here..."

"Okay."
