Chapter 876: Chapter 864: Nearly Struck by Lightning
Yang Xiaoxiao led the charge, and others began to criticize Qiao Jing.
“If you don’t want to beco an apprentice, why did you co here?”
“Exactly, if you didn’t want to beco an apprentice, why were you showing off your knowledge just now? What’s your real intention?”
“Could it be that this person ca here just to cause trouble on purpose?”
“Daring to ss with Master Zhou, isn’t that too arrogant, too reckless?”
“Who here doesn’t want to be Master Zhou’s apprentice? Master Zhou wants to take her as a disciple, and instead of laughing in secret, she says she doesn’t want to be an apprentice. It’s utterly ungrateful!”
“…”
Listening to the words of reproach from the crowd, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin felt a bit uneasy.
If they offended Master Zhou, wouldn’t their trip to the imperial capital be in vain?!
Thinking this, Qiao Lin hurriedly moved closer to Qiao Jing and whispered, “Xiao Jing, Master Zhou personally offered to take you as an apprentice. This is a good thing. Why don’t you think it over again?”
Qiao Hong also chid in, “Yes, we ca to the imperial capital with the hope of becoming apprentices. Although the two of us didn’t expect much, fortunately, we have you!”
“As long as you beco Master Zhou’s disciple, we won’t have to be threatened by the Jiang family and that scumbag Jiang Zihong anymore!”
What Qiao Hong said was sothing Qiao Jing was well aware of.
But just the thought of becoming Zhou Fu’s apprentice made her feel a certain inexplicable resistance.
Even she couldn’t figure out why she felt this way.
At this ti, Zhou Fu was still caught up in the astonishnt of being rejected. He looked at Qiao Jing in a daze, seemingly unable to comprehend why she refused.
As others ntioned, innurable people wished to beco his apprentice.
Even if not for him personally, at least because his master is Divine Doctor Jing.
Yet, he was refused?!
Seeing that Qiao Jing remained unmoved, people began to murmur again.
“We’ve said so much, yet she still doesn’t reconsider? It seems she’s here to cause trouble deliberately!”
“I think so too. Daring to ss with Master Zhou, this person really is audacious. Who knows where she ca from!”
“…”
With the crowd’s discussions reaching their ears, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin grew more anxious the more they listened.
The sisters looked anxiously at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing pondered for a mont, struggling internally.
Finally, under the eager gazes of Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, she slowly spoke, “Master Zhou, I haven’t studied dicine. If possible, please take my elder and second sisters as apprentices instead.”
With these words, the crowd was once again in an uproar.
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were also astonished, their initial urgency replaced by disbelief.
Yang Xiaoxiao’s face once again bore a gloating expression.
She stared at Qiao Jing, her tone mocking, “You really dare to speak. You don’t want to be an apprentice, but you dare to ask Master Zhou to take soone of your choosing as an apprentice? Who do you think you are?!”
Once Yang Xiaoxiao spoke, others joined in agreent.
“This woman really is outrageous, daring to say such things!”
“She’s really full of herself, having the audacity to make demands of Master Zhou. Who does she think she is?!”
“So people are born without self-awareness. I guess she’s one of those!”
“…”
The crowd buzzed with hot discussions, all assuming Zhou Fu would certainly be furious now.
However, Zhou Fu’s next reaction once again surprised everyone.
Not only was he not angry, but he looked at Qiao Jing with an admiring expression.
To him, this girl really had character. Looking at her inexplicably reminded him of his master!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Fu spoke to Qiao Jing in a negotiating tone, “Think it over. I truly want to take you as my apprentice. As long as you’re willing to beco my disciple, I can take your elder and second sisters as well, a buy one, get two offer.”
Seeing Zhou Fu’s attitude and hearing his words, the crowd, who was expecting a spectacle, was all left in speechless shock.
Even Yang Xiaoxiao beside them was dumbfounded, standing there as if she was a wooden chicken.
Qiao Jing was not at all concerned about others’ reactions. Hearing Zhou Fu’s words, she still felt troubled, lightly pressing her lips together without making a sound.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Fu genuinely beca anxious.
He furrowed his brows, his face filled with confusion, “Is it truly so difficult for you to apprentice under ? Are you afraid of being struck by lightning or sothing?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden “boom——” of thunder outside.
Everyone was startled.
For a mont, they stared at each other, their expressions varying.
In broad daylight, such a sudden loud clap of thunder was indeed quite eerie!
Moreover, it ca right after Master Zhou said those words, which was quite a coincidence!!
Zhou Fu also found it a bit strange, a chill running through his heart.
After a mont of silence, he said to Qiao Jing, “Alright, fate plays a big role in this. I’ll give you so ti to think it over.”
“However, this matter can’t be dragged out too long. Considering I’m already in my forties, I really should find a successor soon.”
“If you’re willing, you can co to Wonderful Hall in the next few days when you have ti, and I can teach you so things first. There’s no rush about the apprenticeship.”
Qiao Jing nodded slightly and replied faintly, “I’ll think about it again.”
Seeing this, the others knew they were completely out of luck and began to leave one by one.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Fu, Qiao Jing prepared to return to the hotel with Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin.
The three of them walked out of Wonderful Hall and imdiately saw Yang Xiaoxiao, who had co out first.
Yang Xiaoxiao looked disoriented, seemingly still in shock from earlier.
Recalling Yang Xiaoxiao’s earlier sarcastic and targeted words, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin decided not to hold back.
The two exchanged a glance, then walked forward in unison.
Yang Xiaoxiao raised her head, and at the sight of Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, her expression turned awkward.
Qiao Lin was the first to speak, her tone taunting, “Yang Xiaoxiao, if I rember correctly, you were so sure you’d beco Master Zhou’s apprentice, but it seems that hasn’t happened.”
“That’s why, as the saying goes, you shouldn’t be too full of yourself. Clearly lacking in ability, yet bragging about how great you are, now it’s backfired!”
Qiao Hong picked up where Qiao Lin left off, mocking with a sneer, “Not only backfired, but your face is practically swollen from all the slaps!”
“You had the nerve to judge us, now you should know who’s the truly clueless one and who’s made a fool of themselves!”
Faced with the reverse mockery from the two, Yang Xiaoxiao’s expression imdiately turned extrely unpleasant.
She wanted to retort, but opened her mouth only to find she had no words for rebuttal.
Seeing Yang Xiaoxiao’s face changing from blue to white, as colorful as a palette, Qiao Lin couldn’t help but chuckle, “What? Got nothing to say? Finally realized how embarrassed you are?”
“If I were you, I’d already be looking for a hole to crawl into, rather than shalessly staying here!”
