Chapter 557 Old Cheng's Apprentice

There is no lack of contempt in this sentence.

Qiao Tianya clenched her fists and wanted to argue with him angrily. Ye Xiaojin reached out to hold Qiao Tianya's wrist.

"It's fine."

She raised her head, with no sign of retreat in her eyes, "Did the competition limit the age of the contestants?"

The person in charge was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "There is no regulations, but..."

But isn’t it just a shame for a child of your age to participate in the competition?

Ye Xiaojin nodded when she heard this, not caring about what he hadn't finished saying, "So, I'm going to participate too."

She took the black signature pen next to her, put the registration form on the paper, glanced at her eyes and quickly filled it out.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, the person in charge shook his head and sighed.

He is kind, too.

A child is boring to come to such a large-scale calligraphy competition, and may even cry if he loses.

There is a lot of information to fill in on the registration form.

There were several staff members behind the person in charge, chatting aside with bored.

"Do you still remember the woman who came to sign up in the morning? She is Mr. Cheng's apprentice!"

"You mean the one named He Mingyue?"

"Yes, it's her."

"I said, she looks good and has a temperament that doesn't look like an ordinary person. She turns out to be Mr. Cheng's apprentice."

"I think only those who are like this are worthy of being Mr. Cheng's apprentice."

"This competition must be very exciting. Even Mr. Cheng's apprentice appeared in person. I don't know which company will win the final championship."

"Aren't we all the people in Beijing always against Mr. Cheng? I heard that Mr. Wan's three apprentices have signed up this time."

When Mr. Cheng and Wan Guozhi were young, some of the grudges were not resolved. Later, as time passed, the grudges were not only not shallow, but became deeper.

In this calligraphy competition, Wan Guozhi found out that Mr. Cheng had sent someone to participate, so he deliberately sent out all three of his most proud disciples.

This was the first time Ye Xiaojin heard these gossips, and he listened seriously while filling in the information.

But those staff members didn't say a word, and soon talked about He Mingyue again.

"I have to say that He Mingyue's long looks so beautiful, with her face and figure, and her eyes that look like autumn water. I feel my mind rippling when I look at me."

Ye Xiaojin was no longer interested in listening.

As the few people were talking, a gray-haired old man hurried in from the door with a cane.

The person in charge heard the movement at the door and quickly raised his head. When he saw the old man's expression change, he immediately met him.

He spoke with a respectful tone, "Mr. Su, why did you come here?"

The Su family in Kyoto is also a family that cannot be underestimated.

This calligraphy competition was sponsored by the Su family.

The person in charge naturally respects Mr. Su, the financial supporter.

Mr. Su anxiously grabbed the person in charge and asked, "Where is Mr. Cheng's apprentice? The old guy said his apprentice has come to sign up. Where is it? Let me see."

Mr. Su and Mr. Cheng grew up together since childhood, and had a life-long friendship when they were young.

Although we rarely meet, we have a strong relationship.

This time, when Mr. Cheng heard that Mr. Cheng had accepted his apprentice and his apprentice was going to participate in this calligraphy competition, Mr. Su rushed over immediately.

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and soon came to his senses, guessing that he should be asking about He Mingyue.

But He Mingyue came to sign up in the morning, and Mr. Su came late in the afternoon.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Cheng's apprentice did come to register, but she came to register in the morning and had already left."

Mr. Su was stunned for a moment, "No."

"When I came out of my house, I just called Cheng, and he told my apprentice that he was here now."

The person in charge was confused when he heard this.

"How could it be?"

"No one here registered in the afternoon..."

The person in charge was shocked and suddenly looked at Ye Xiaojin who was filling out the form.

No, no?!

Mr. Su also noticed Ye Xiaojin now.

“Isn’t there one here?”

The person in charge still thought it was ridiculous, "This little girl is just an ordinary person, how could she be Mr. Cheng's apprentice..."

Before he could finish his words, Mr. Su was already walking towards Ye Xiaojin with a cane.

Ye Xiaojin heard the sound of the crutch hitting the ground getting closer and closer, and raised her head.

I saw an old man looking at her with a kind look.

She hesitated for two seconds and asked actively: "Hello, you are..."

Mr. Su was originally going to ask her if she was Mr. Cheng’s apprentice.

But Ye Xiaojin looked up and saw that the jade pendant hanging around her neck was looming.

Mr. Su saw it at a glance.

He is so familiar with this thing!

He said excitedly: "Little girl, what are you wearing on your neck?!"

Seeing his excited face, Ye Xiaojin took out the jade pendant placed in his clothes to reveal the whole picture.

Mr. Su saw clearly that it was half a dragon-patterned jade pendant, and he was even more excited, "You are Old Man Cheng's apprentice!"

He looked at Ye Xiaojin up and down, "Not bad, it's great. You can be accepted as an apprentice by Old Man Cheng at a young age, so you must be very capable!"

The person in charge was shocked and forgot to breathe.

How is that possible?

Another Mr. Cheng’s apprentice came?!

He walked over quickly and couldn't help but question: "Mr. Su, are you sure? There was a girl from He Mingyue in the morning who was Mr. Cheng's apprentice. This little girl is so young..."

No matter how you look, it doesn't look like it.

Mr. Su glared at him angrily, "Old man, I'm old, but I'm not as dizzy as my eyes are still dark. How could I admit my mistake when Old Man Cheng has carried the jade pendant close to him for decades!"

"But two apprentices..."

He couldn't help but murmur, "Why didn't Old Man Cheng tell me just now that he had accepted two apprentices..."

He didn't think anyone dared to lie that he was Mr. Cheng's apprentice.

"Little girl, how many apprentices did Old Man Cheng accept?"

Ye Xiaojin guessed that the old man should have a different relationship with Mr. Cheng. Just by using a jade pendant, she confirmed that she was Mr. Cheng's apprentice.

He replied obediently: "Two. When Grandpa Cheng accepted me as his apprentice, He Mingyue happened to come to the door, so Grandpa Cheng took her as his apprentice together."

"He Mingyue...He Mingyue, why does this name sound so familiar?" Old Master Su muttered a few words and began to ponder, and it took about ten seconds.

His eyes, which were a little cloudy, lit up.

"I remembered it! It was her, the girl who saved the old man."

Mr. Su thought to himself.

It seems that Old Man Cheng is still thinking about the girl's life-saving grace. It happened that the girl came to the door on the day he accepted the disciples. Perhaps out of guilt, he accepted the disciples together.

Otherwise, if He Mingyue really had this ability, Old Man Cheng would have accepted her as his disciple long ago.

It's still necessary to wait until now.

Everyone said that the words are like the other person. Mr. Cheng mentioned to him that He Mingyue is good at everything, but the words he wrote are always a bit bad.
