340 Elder Chen Accepts a Disciple

Old Master Cui wanted to leave with Gu Man, but seeing that Gu Man had no intention of going with him, he did not force her. He could only leave with Cui Hong reluctantly.

After they left, Gu Man looked at Xiang Yin and nodded slightly.

“Thank you.”

“It’s a small matter.”

Ever since Elder Chen looked at Xiang Yin, Xiang Yin knew that he could not hide his relationship with Elder Chen. Just as Xiang Yin was about to confess, Elder Chen came to the two of them.

“Xiang, it’s fine if you went to the Physics Department, but how can you drag a girl to the Physics Department?”

Elder Chen’s face looked like he expected better from him, as well as regret for not taking the initiative first.

“With such a treasure, why didn’t you let us get to know her earlier? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the Physics Department.”

Although she knew that Elder Chen was called over by Xiang Yin, Gu Man did not expect the two of them to be so close. Seeing that Xiang Yin was letting Elder Chen criticize him, she smiled and defended Xiang Yin. “Elder Chen, I didn’t choose the Physics Department because of Xiang Yin, but because I like this profession.”

When Elder Chen heard this, his expression froze. Then, he shook his head regretfully. “Sigh, I won’t force you. Since you don’t like it, remember to visit me more often after you get into Zhong Chu University.”

Although he could not take Gu Man in as his disciple, Elder Chen felt that he could still get closer to her.

Facing Elder Chen’s personality, Gu Man felt quite relaxed and agreed to his request.

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Elder Chen’s face. He did not even care about Xiang Yin beside him and started chatting with Gu Man.

Initially, he only wanted to chat because he appreciated talents. Unexpectedly, the more Elder Chen talked to her, the more he liked Gu Man.

No matter what the question was, she could answer it. It seemed like she knew this very well. The light in Elder Chen’s eyes became brighter and brighter.

“Miss Gu, are you really not considering Zhong Chu University’s archeology department? Although it sounds a little unprofessional, the treatment is not bad.”

Xiang Yin put his arm around Gu Man’s shoulder. Before Gu Man could reject him, he rejected Elder Chen on her behalf.

“That’s not her ambition. Elder Chen, don’t force her.”

Elder Chen glared at Xiang Yin in dissatisfaction, as if he still hated Xiang Yin for introducing Gu Man to him immediately. When he heard this, he snorted coldly and looked like a playful child.

“Why? Aren’t you going to let me persuade her? Why are you so anxious to protect her? Are you afraid that I’ll snatch her away from the Physics Department?”

Elder Chen’s sarcasm was a little arrogant. Xiang Yin was a little helpless and did not know how to answer.

Gu Man could not help but laugh when she saw the two of them interacting.

Elder Chen was an interesting person. He did not have any scruples when interacting with the younger generation, unlike some people who acted like elders at all times despite being young.

After the two of them chatted for a while, Elder Chen knew that he could not pry her from the Physics Department. However, this did not affect anything. He and Gu Man chatted happily as usual.

After leaving the auction, Elder Chen bid farewell to the two of them because he had something to do.

Gu Man was about to continue walking when she realized that Xiang Yin had not let go of her shoulder.

She tilted her head and looked over. “There’s no one else. There’s no need to pretend anymore.”

It was clearly a normal tone, but to Xiang Yin it sounded distant and cold. This made him let go in defeat.

“Do you really want to get rid of me that badly?”

Gu Man tilted her head and looked at Xiang Yin in confusion.

“It’s just that there’s really no one here, and there’s no need to pretend.”

Xiang Yin sighed when he heard this. His footsteps were slightly faster as he walked in front of Gu Man. His back view was a little lonely.

Gu Man thought for a moment and really could not understand why Xiang Yin’s emotions changed so quickly. She could only follow behind him silently.

However, after taking two steps, Gu Man saw a familiar figure. It was Boss Zhao from the Appraiser Hall. He was standing in front of a stall and smiling as he held a piece of ceramic.
