Chapter 562: Cheating Huo Yaoxing's Money
Wen Yan sat down next to Ying Zhilin, crossed her fingers and put them on Ying Zhilin's shoulders.
Ying Zhilin retreated: "What do you want to do?"
"I won't let you work for nothing. As long as I have any famous calligraphy or painting, you can choose whatever you want."
Wen Yan used bribes.
Ying Zhilin tilted his head and glanced at her without saying anything.
Wen Yan rested her chin on the back of her hand and blew gently on his neck: "If you don't agree, then this vixen like me will have to resort to some tricks."
"Methods?" Ying Zhilin laughed, "I don't believe it."
"Provoke me!" Wen Yan hooked his collar and left a light kiss on his collarbone.
Ying Zhilin didn't even blink.
"Oh, have you learned to remain calm even when a woman's arms are raised?" Wen Yan raised his eyebrows and snorted.
A thin, white, and slender hand slid along the collar and into his clothes.
Ying Zhilin held his breath for a moment.
Suddenly he held Wen Yan's hand: "How dare you go down!"
Wen Yan raised her eyebrows proudly: "Don't you look down on my methods?
What are you doing?
Ying Zhilin pinched her chin and was about to kiss her.
Wen Yan dodged instead: "You don't agree to my conditions, and you still want to flirt with me?"
Ying Zhilin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "For Huo Yaoxing's future, I can do anything."
Wen Yan rolled her eyes: "Have you forgotten what I just said? Tricking him, tricking him, tricking him, it's all tricking him!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wen Yan grabbed his ear and twisted it hard.
Ying Zhilin gasped in pain and covered his ears: "It hurts..."
Wen Yan released his ear and then pulled his cheeks to the sides: "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you. Let me show you how I'll deal with you!"
Ying Zhilin's eyes soon filled with pain, and he surrendered: "I agree, I agree. I will go find Senior Brother tomorrow."
"That's more like it."
Wen Yan pulled his collar and dragged him to the bed: "Go lie down."
Ying Zhilin: “…”
He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
The second day.
Ying Zhilin took a half-day leave, took the gift prepared by Wen Yan, and quietly went to find the eldest brother.
Ji Shanchang has many students all over the world, but he has only nine direct disciples, and their identities are kept secret.
Therefore, the number of people who knew that the Prince's Tutor was a direct disciple of Master Ji could be counted on one hand.
When the Prince's tutor heard that the person who wanted to take him as his disciple was Huo Yaoxing, his brows furrowed so much that they could almost pinch a fly to death.
"This person has a bad reputation and only does things to gain fame. You want me to accept him as my apprentice. Isn't this affecting my reputation and pushing me into the fire pit?
Junior brother, are you unhappy with your life?
Are you going to drag me along to live through hard times with you?"
The Prince's tutor was in his forties and didn't even dare to look at Ying Zhilin.
"No way, how could I be so bad! I just..." Ying Zhilin denied it immediately, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words and immediately changed his tone.
"Big Brother, you have to save me!"
Ying Zhilin held his breath, forcing tears to well up before saying:
“Big Brother, if you don’t accept the man surnamed Huo, my little wife will be unhappy.
When she is unhappy, my life becomes unhappy.
My lifelong happiness, my junior brother, is in your hands."
The Prince's Tutor: "..."
"Big Brother, I am your most beloved junior fellow apprentice. Can you bear to watch me suffer for the rest of my life?
Forget it, I'll go ask Master for help. Master will definitely help me..."
The muscles on the Prince's tutor's face kept twitching. If his master knew about this, would he be in any good situation?
He immediately waved his hands angrily: "Alright, alright, I'll take it. But you have to be quick. I can only endure it until the end of the year."
"No problem, brother. I promise to solve the problem before the New Year.
"Little Junior Brother, I'll go take care of Senior Brother right away." Ying Zhilin left with a satisfied look on his face.
That night, Ying Zhilin pestered Wen Yan for the entire night because of this contribution.
After Wen Yan obtained the consent of the Prince's Tutor, he did not inform Huo Yaoxing immediately, but deliberately delayed it.
At first, Huo Yaoxing was still waiting for Wen Yan to come to him on her own initiative. After waiting for half a month without any news, he became a little anxious.
But he didn't want to lose face, so he waited patiently for Wen Yan to come to him while accepting Gu Saisai's invitation.
Huo Yaoxing and Gu Saisai are fighting fiercely.
Gu Saisai found Huo Yaoxing to be an interesting and entertaining person.
Huo Yaoxing never expected that Wen Yan was even more patient than him.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Huo Yaoxing finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Take the initiative to find Wen Yan.
Before going to the appointment, Wen Yan put on some makeup to look tired.
Huo Yaoxing was so focused on becoming his disciple that he didn't notice her expression at all: "Yan'er, how's things going with Principal Ji?
Is he willing to accept me as his last disciple?"
Wen Yan looked at Huo Yaoxing without saying a word.
Huo Yaoxing was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, and kept urging: "Oh, I'm so anxious, are you mute? Come on, tell me!"
Wen Yan pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry, and shook her head: "President Ji disagrees."
The hope in Huo Yaoxing's eyes instantly turned into anger: "What did you do?
It was you who promised me solemnly that you would succeed.
I waited for you for a month, but you told me it didn't work out. All that time was wasted!"
"You're mean to me!" Wen Yan yelled back, "Although I didn't invite Ji Shanzhang for you, I did find Ji Shanzhang's eldest disciple, who is now the Prince's Grand Tutor, to be your teacher.
Since you don't like it, I'll just turn him down."
Wen Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
Huo Yaoxing was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed Wen Yan and said, "You said you found the Prince's tutor to be my teacher?"
Wen Yan nodded: "It's a pity that you don't like it, so forget it."
Huo Yaoxing's eyes lit up.
Ji Shanchang was very good at studying, but he devoted himself to the academy and knew little about the officialdom.
It would be different if he became the Prince's tutor.
He and the prince became brothers in the same school, and once the prince ascended the throne, he would be a close minister.
"Of course I like it.
Yan'er, please introduce me to someone like you. I'd like to be Taifu's disciple."
Wen Yan's mouth corners curled up.
She said to Huo Yaoxing, "I not only gave away many rare treasures to the Grand Tutor, but also spent a lot of money."
"Yan'er, we are husband and wife. Are you still trying to distinguish these vulgar things from me so clearly?"
"We're not married yet. If you're not willing to spend even this little money, then forget about becoming my disciple."
Wen Yan turned and left.
Huo Yaoxing stopped her anxiously: "Isn't it okay for me to give it to you? Just tell me the amount."
"In total, I spent over 13,000 taels, but I stole two famous calligraphy and paintings from Ying Zhilin's storehouse, so I won't count them as yours.
Just give me ten thousand taels."
"Ten thousand taels! How can it be so much! Did you deliberately overstate it?" Huo Yaoxing exclaimed in shock.
