The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1430

Chapter 1430: 697 Dayan National Master (Third Watch)

This scene left everyone stupefied.

The chess master from the Chess House, Geng Yuehua, actually knelt before an old man?

Gu Jiao cocked her head to look at Meng Lao.

Hey?

Miao Ruoxin’s complexion changed dramatically; a layer of foreboding slowly welled up inside her.

Geng Yuehua, hailed as the top player in the Chess House after Meng Lao, could only kneel before—

"Tea, Teacher!" Geng Yuehua’s voice trembled as he knelt.

This appellation, "Teacher," struck like a hammer, shattering all the confidence and arrogance that Miao Ruoxin had built up because of Geng Yuehua.

She watched Geng Yuehua kneeling on the ground, not daring to lift his head, her spirit greatly shaken.

So, this was the strength of the Chess Sage of the Six Kingdoms?

The legitimate offspring of the powerful Geng Family, ranked ninth among the great families, now knelt before a man from a lower country, with respect and devout humility, not daring to show the slightest irreverence.

After all, this was the Geng Family we’re talking about!

Originally from Zhao Country, Mr. Meng Lao received special pardon from the sovereign to settle down in Shengdu, and became a citizen of Shang Country.

Miao Ruoxin felt a burning flame rising from the bottom of her heart, searing and painful yet thrilling.

Once she became a citizen of Shang Country, she would no longer have to look at anyone else’s face!

Mr. Meng Lao, with his aura in full force, coldly looked down at his wayward disciple on the ground and said sarcastically, "I was unaware of when you became the master of the Chess House."

Geng Yuehua shuddered and hurriedly explained, "Teacher, she was spouting nonsense; the Chess House belongs to you, Teacher. The grand hall still displays the plaque bestowed by His Majesty himself—’Number One Chess House, a gift to Mr. Meng.’ How would I dare to claim ownership of the Chess House?"

At this moment, he truly resented Miao Ruoxin.

Some thoughts should remain thoughts; why declare them aloud?

Isn’t this giving people evidence against you?

Mr. Meng Lao continued to interrogate, "Who did you earlier say stole the token?"

"Your student... your student..." Geng Yuehua, albeit foolish, now realized that the token in the boy’s possession was personally given by the Chess Sage. He couldn’t understand why the token he had coveted for so many years, a glance at the Chess Sage of which he was not permitted, was now given away so generously.

Mr. Meng Lao thought, my own cherished child, whom I cannot bring myself to bully, is it your turn to cast aspersions?

Mr. Meng Lao snatched the token from Geng Yuehua, carefully wiped it with his sleeve, then handed it to Gu Jiao, "Child, keep it safe."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Geng Yuehua was utterly dejected. If you’re taking the token back, just take it, but to wipe it too?

Mr. Meng Lao to Geng Yuehua: "You, apologize to your little junior sister... cough... junior brother!"

Geng Yuehua was utterly shocked.

Gu Jiao looked at Mr. Meng Lao with a puzzled face, when did I become your disciple?

Mr. Meng Lao coughed lightly and whispered in persuasion, "Give some face, give some face."

Gu Jiao: "..."

Geng Yuehua could never have imagined that after the Chess Sage returned from his trip, he would have acquired a junior brother!

Where could he even begin to argue?

Mr. Meng Lao nodded, "Very well, you don’t even listen to your teacher’s words anymore, it seems that your teacher can no longer command you."

Oh no, this old man has driven away fifty-eight disciples! I’m the only one who persisted! After enduring for over a decade, just when I’m about to succeed, being expelled from the school at this critical moment would be too much of a loss!

He sprang to his feet in a flash, bowing to Gu Jiao with cupped hands, "Junior brother, your senior brother was wrong! I apologize to you!"

Gu Jiao, suddenly bestowed with a senior brother, was: "..."

"Alright, go inside. Weren’t you looking for the National Master on urgent matters?" Mr. Meng Lao was definitely not going to give Gu Jiao the chance to reconsider! Was it easy to accept a disciple? After patiently waiting for this opportunity!

Perfect timing, favorable conditions, and support from influential people!

I don’t care whether you acknowledge it or not, once I have recognized you, that’s it!

Gu Jiao frowned slightly, feeling that the old man was scheming something.

But she indeed had no time to waste here.

She proceeded with the disciples of the National Master Hall.

Miao Ruoxin watched Gu Jiao’s departing silhouette, her fists clenched involuntarily.

She just couldn’t accept it, she truly couldn’t!

Why did this fellow from a lower country have such good fortune?

First, he became acquainted with Young Master Qingchen, then befriended the Su family’s third young mistress, and now even the Chess Sage of the Six Kingdoms has accepted him as a disciple!

He’s a total good-for-nothing!

"Mr. Meng Lao, may I ask you..."

"You may not." Mr. Meng Lao cut Miao Ruoxin off without a hint of politeness; he was not deaf and had heard every single word she had used to disparage Gu Jiao.

He said coldly, "You are not a member of the Chess House, so I have no authority to discipline you."

This statement appeared to be self-deprecating on the surface, but in reality, it was a complete disassociation from Miao Ruoxin.

No matter the relationship between Miao Ruoxin and his eldest disciple, it amounted to nothing here, so there was no point in trying to overstep one’s bounds.

Mr. Meng Lao pointed at Miao Ruoxin and summoned two guarding disciples from the National Master Hall, speaking sternly, "The National Master once promised me three favors, stating that I could make any three requests of the National Master Hall. Now, my first request is this: This person from Chen Country shall never set foot in the National Master Hall ever again!"

The disciple smiled, "Yes, except for a few disciples who have recently joined." _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
