If she were to accept this good-for-nothing as her apprentice, wouldn't that just cause trouble for Xie Ziyuan? Does she look like a sucker?
The old lady had a stern face and an unhappy expression. "Alright, that's enough."
Whether Xie Li is truly capable or a good-for-nothing, it has nothing to do with me. This old woman will never take on any more apprentices in her life, except for Xie Ziyuan, who is her only disciple!
"With a disciple like Ziyuan who is good at everything, why would I need to look at those ugly and undesirable people outside? What a joke!"
She was genuinely interested in the talent, but she was also angered by the underhanded practices of the jade shop, which led her to consider taking on an apprentice.
But if that person is Xie Buyun's granddaughter, then forget it.
Even if that girl does have a little talent, so what? She's still a troublemaker and a vampire.
You should know that she was a victim of the shady dealings at the jade shop. The old lady would not sympathize with her at all; she deserved it, it was retribution!

As Chu Xun walked around the corner, he heard a voice call out from behind: "Senior."
He frowned slightly and turned his head. "Is something the matter?"
The person who called out to him was Jiang Baili, Xie Ziyuan's cousin, and his expression softened slightly.
Jiang Baili walked over: "Senior, those materials you gave Xie Li this morning..."
Chu Xun's expression suddenly changed: "Xie Li sent you to find me?"
Jiang Baili paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and mumbled a reply, "She actually regrets it quite a bit..."
She originally wanted to come and test the waters to see if she could get the information from Chu Xun.
After all, Xie Ziyuan has always been seen as a saintly and overly kind person. Chu Xun is her good friend, so he will definitely be more lenient with his cousin.
But since Chu Xun had given her such a good excuse, she might as well take advantage of it.
Chu Xun's expression was icy: "Regret? Why didn't you do that sooner? Besides, what's the point of finding someone else to replace you instead of coming yourself?"
Even though she felt that Chu Xun's anger wasn't directed at her, Jiang Baili still felt very uncomfortable and took several deep breaths.
Only then did she calm down, and said gently, "That's just how Xie Li is. After all, she comes from the countryside and feels that everyone is targeting and bullying her, which is why she's a bit extreme."
"That document, Ziyuan stayed up all night to compile it, right? You didn't want her hard work to be wasted, did you?"
When Jiang Baili spoke softly, her expression was remarkably similar to Xie Ziyuan's indignation.
Chu Xun's anger subsided slightly. After all, he understood Xie Ziyuan's feelings, and indeed, he couldn't bear to let her down.
Chu Xun turned and went into the classroom, took out the document, and handed it to Jiang Baili.
"I heard she got into Linjiang No.1 High School. Did you tutor her? Thank you for your hard work. Please take a good look at this material."
For a moment, Jiang Baili almost thought that the other party had seen through her true intentions, and her heart pounded.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she pretended not to understand: "Senior, this is the information Ziyuan gave to Xie Li. I will pass it on to Xie Li exactly as it is."
To her surprise, no sooner had she finished speaking than Chu Xun snatched the documents away.
"Are you also going to participate in the No. 1 Middle School Encyclopedia King Challenge? If so, why do something that benefits someone else? Wasn't the lesson learned from the last entrance exam profound enough?"
Chu Xun stared intently into Jiang Baili's eyes, his gaze highly seductive.
Jiang Baili slowly realized that Chu Xun meant...
After finishing his sentence, Chu Xun handed the information to Jiang Baili and turned to leave.
