Xiao Cunyu also did not feel any guilt when she rejected Elder Zixiao. She even thought that the old man was crazy. She wanted to be friends with him, but he actually wanted to make her a generation inferior!
But the mountain chief in front of him was different.
He is really an old man. If the hard way doesn’t work, he will try the soft way!
"How much silver do you want... As long as I have it, you can take it. I'm still strong, and I'll go earn more! The chickens and ducks raised in the academy can also be sold. I'll go exchange them for silver tomorrow and send it to your home..."
"If this is not enough... I will go out and borrow some. I know a lot of people. The headmaster of Luoxing Academy used to laugh at me for being poor. I will go to him. He is a face-conscious person and will definitely give me some money. You don't have to worry about me. I am old and it doesn't matter whether I care about my reputation or not..." The old headmaster's tone was very sincere.
As if I really want to do this.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Cunyu was silent for a while.
"Headmaster, the reason I don't want to do this is because... I have a terminal illness." Xiao Cunyu clutched his chest. "To be honest, my life was stolen. I don't even know how many days I have left. How can I possibly take on the responsibility of running Wanjun Academy?"
"No, you are in good health." The headmaster said quickly.
The teacher at the academy took Xiao Cunyu's pulse and found that the boy was full of energy and had no problems at all.
"Master, of course you can't diagnose a disease that only the world's best doctor can. I'm a man with no tomorrow. If I take over the academy, I'll die before I can even get comfortable. Wouldn't that be a waste of all your hard work?" Xiao Cunyu started to take it seriously.
The headmaster didn't believe it.
This guy is very good at lying, and everyone in the academy is fooled by him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter. A short life is a short life! At worst, you can just find someone else to pass it on before you die! As long as they have good character, I will accept them!"
Anyway, his other candidates have almost only this one advantage.
Xiao Cunyu didn't know why he kept staring at her.
Is she so charming?!
Xiao Cunyu sat down. "You really want this? You'll give me this academy no matter what? Even if I become a slacker and a gambling addict, and sell all the books in your library in the future, you won't regret it?"
For a moment, the headmaster wavered.
But now he trusts his intuition and even more so, he trusts Old Man Lin's vision.
He nodded heavily, as if another mountain was pressing down on him.
"Then let me tell you the truth. Besides having a terminal illness, I'm not a man. If you insist on designating me as the heir, there will be too many variables in the future." Xiao Cunyu told the truth.
If I don't tell the truth, this old man will never be finished.
As for whether the woman's identity would be exposed, she was not worried.
As the head of a hospital, she believed in the old man's character. He wouldn't gossip so much as to spread the matter everywhere, and...
If the news really leaked out, she could naturally deal with it. As long as she didn't get involved in the court, no one would be so perverted as to take off their pants and watch birds.
"What?" The headmaster was stunned for a moment. "You... are a eunuch?"
His eyes began to show some sympathy.
Xiao Cunyu almost choked: "I am a girl. Aren't there only men and women in this world?"
The headmaster stopped moving.
Maybe it was because she was too surprised, but her expression was like she was stuck, staring at him straight.
After a few breaths, he patted his head and said, "I'm really old. I don't understand anymore... Silly child, your lies are too outrageous. Look at you, how can you be a girl? You can lie to strangers, but you lie to an old man like me... How can you be so cruel?"
