Chapter 627: 398 Master’s Fury: Protecting Disciple, Unleashing Ultimate Weapon (3 Updates)
Everyone was dumbfounded, with many gasps of shock coming from below. The host, trembling, accidentally dropped the microphone onto the stage.
“Buzz—” A piercing electrical noise instantly penetrated everyone’s eardrums!
People’s hearts jerked violently in fear, and the host hurriedly picked up the microphone, glancing at Tang Wan with a flicker in his eyes.
My goodness, what a dramatic unfolding.
He was somewhat of an insider himself. Everyone knows that Xi Fangli has several disciples, but where did Tang Wan come from?
I’ve never heard anyone mention her before. In the industry, getting guidance from him is something to boast about. With such a significant backing, why hadn’t Tang Wan mentioned it?
You Congrong’s body shook violently, her pupils dilated as she stared at Tang Wan, doubting she heard correctly.
Her heart was hanging in midair, then suddenly crashed to the ground.
Smashed to smithereens!
Her current emotions couldn’t merely be described as shock or horror; it was as though she had fallen into icy waters, the chill shooting up her spine, freezing her blood instantly.
Qi Zeyan blinked and could only take a deep breath, muttering to himself,
“Your sister-in-law is still your sister-in-law after all, no wonder she’s so calm!”
Man, everyone’s so familiar, and she hid it this deep? That’s really not cool.
It forced him to hide at the Huo Family, and he inexplicably ate a poisoned melon.
Although Tang Wan had told the old lady not to worry, saying she would handle everything, the old lady thought that Tang Wan would have evidence to prove her innocence. She did not expect it would come out this way and was slightly surprised. She looked at her grandson, who remained composed.
“Did you know about this earlier?”
“Grandpa told me.”
After Tang Wan’s incident, Jiang Jinsang had called Old Tang and Tang Yunxian. He had originally wanted to show off in front of Tang Yunxian, “Uncle Tang, don’t worry, Wanwan’s situation isn’t like what the internet says, I will help her.”
“Help with what? It’s normal for a disciple’s work to bear the traces of their master; these people are just idle.”
“What did you say?”
“Wanwan didn’t tell you anything?”
“No!”
Tang Yunxian laughed and straightforwardly jabbed at him, “It seems this girl still has reservations about you, your relationship isn’t close enough to share everything.”
Jiang Jinsang’s heart was thoroughly pierced by his father-in-law!
…
Nevertheless, Tang Wan cheerfully smiled at Xi Fangli, “Master—”
“How dare you call me master? When I arrived in Beijing, did you come to pick me up? Do you even acknowledge that you have a master?”
“Wasn’t it you who said I was no good, telling me not to flaunt your name or deceive others, and also forbade me from mentioning you?” Tang Wan said, her lips pursed but her stance firm.
“You…”
“The last time I had troubles, you warned me, afraid I would jeopardize you and tarnish your later years, so this time, even though I was humiliated, I dared not claim you as my master.”
Tang Wan referred to the earlier incident in Pingjiang, the Emerald Feather event.
Indeed, Xi Fangli had called and scolded her.
“And even if I had said it, if you didn’t acknowledge it, they would probably say I was clinging to you falsely, which would only make things more embarrassing for me.”
Her tone was full of grievance.
It made Xi Fangli chuckle lightly, “You, dragging me into this, and you still feel wronged?”
“After you returned to Beijing, you didn’t clarify for me right away; am I not allowed to feel aggrieved?”
The way Tang Wan spoke to him was clearly coquettish!
“You…”
Xi Fangli was amused and helpless, shaking his head, “We’ll settle this later.”
His tone was not without indulgence.
Originally, everyone was somewhat skeptical about their relationship, but such a bickering dialogue, if not for a close relationship, who would dare speak so freely? Strangers would definitely be polite.
Moreover, Xi Fangli holds high prestige in the industry; when people met him, they were invariably deferential—who else could be as “presumptuous” as Tang Wan?
Even if they weren’t master and disciple, their relationship was evidently very close.
…
Everyone initially thought that Tang Wan admitting to infringement was already shocking, but unexpectedly…
After Xi Fangli finished speaking to Tang Wan, he turned his head to You Congrong and her fans, “The matter is actually very clear. This is an internal affair of our sect, so from the beginning, I had no intention of making it public, which led to this huge misunderstanding.”
“It’s impossible, how could you be her master? You must have colluded!” You Congrong was almost out of control.
She had everything planned—intercepting people at the airport, leaking the issue to garner more attention. If Xi Fangli ignored it, she would press him at the exhibition tour. With irrefutable evidence, she was confident she could ruin Tang Wan.
