Xiao Cunyu made up his mind and finally went to find the headmaster.
Her life was coming to an end, and she really couldn't stay in the academy every day.
As soon as Xiao Cunyu appeared in front of the dean, the old man immediately showed a pitiful smile, and humbly and tremblingly took out a small oil-paper bag from his arms. When he opened it, he saw a piece of almond cake inside.
“…” Xiao Cunyu was almost frightened by this old man.
Are you really crazy?!
"Good boy, this is specially reserved for you." The headmaster said with a loving look on his face.
But he was too thin, and the edges of his bones could be seen on his face. His dark skin made his eyes look even brighter. Being stared at like that, even though Xiao Cunyu had made sufficient mental preparations, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"A piece of cake can't buy me..." Xiao Cunyu said hurriedly.
"I've lived to such an old age and don't even have a child, but I just feel that you and I are destined to be together." The headmaster lowered his status.
"That's even more impossible. I have a father, a mother and a grandfather." Xiao Cunyu shook his head quickly.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't know how to respond after hearing this, but the headmaster...
He really has nothing and has lived like a speck of dust for decades. Now he finally has some hope and he is unwilling to let go no matter what.
"I just think you're too skinny," the headmaster said with a smile. "Eat quickly."
Xiao Cunyu couldn't eat.
But the headmaster was so stingy that he took out a dime from his pocket and said, "Here you go."
“…” Xiao Cunyu wanted to run away.
This is outrageous. He, who loves money like his life, actually gave her pocket money?!
"This little bit of silver isn't even enough for a cup of tea." Xiao Cunyu was about to take a different approach. "If you really like me, then why not give me a thousand taels? I've been itching to go to the gambling house and play a few rounds, but this little silver won't cover my losses."
The headmaster's hands, covered with age spots, trembled.
Xiao Cunyu was very proud. Should he fight with her?
"Oh..." The dean sighed and left for a while. When he came back, he was holding a small box and opened it in front of Xiao Cunyu, only to see that it was full of stacks of silver bills!
"Is one thousand taels enough? I'll give you a little more. You young people like to spend a lot of money to show off when you go out to play. All this money is given to you. Buy anything you like. I'm old and haven't seen anything. Just consider it as you enjoying it on my behalf." The headmaster looked resigned and pushed the things in front of Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu's face changed drastically.
This old man is serious!
Wanjun Academy had no income for many years, and there was almost no land left under its name. The few plots of land were enough to cover the expenses of the academy. These banknotes were obtained from the Hang family. After becoming rich overnight, the principal did not renovate the academy. He would not spend the money unless he had no other choice.
And now, give it to her?!
Xiao Cunyu's expression turned serious. "Headmaster, please stop joking."
"No, child, I am old. What's the point of leaving money for you? The academy can't continue to operate. I might as well give the money to you." The dean pretended to be pitiful.
Even he was serious about it, it was just money!
You can’t catch a wolf without risking your child!
Xiao Cunyu felt a little helpless. When Lin Gong wanted to take him as his disciple, he looked at her with admiration. Before he could ask, she felt it and immediately jumped into the water and swam away.
Mr. Lin had no shortage of disciples, so after this incident, the old and the young could still meet each other happily.
The old man Zixiao was rather picky when it came to accepting disciples, but he was arrogant and eccentric, and never bowed his head. She even despised his arrogant temper. When they usually hung out together, they were never polite to each other.
