Qin Yiyi didn’t know anything about this Teacher Zhu.

But she had heard Teacher Lu recount the matter of the bet in a few words.

Moreover, Qin Yiyi was quite accurate in judging people.

With just a glance, she could see the condescending and contemptuous emotions from this arrogant Teacher Zhu.

She smiled lightly and looked at her casually.

“May I know who you are? Is there something you need from me?”

“Your name is Qin Yiyi, right? I’m the judge teacher who participated in the drawing competition before you. You can call me Teacher Zhu.”

Qin Yiyi tilted her head and looked at the other party. However, she did not address her as Teacher Zhu like she had said. She only responded with an ‘oh’.

“May I know what you need from me?”

Teacher.

This title was not something that anyone could be given to.

The person in front of her was obviously a little unworthy of her title.

Qin Yiyi did not want to agitate her own mouth!

“I was the one who gave you the first place in the competition. I think you still don’t know. If I didn’t find your artwork and give you a high score, your artwork might have been drowned in other people’s artwork by now. Your trip here would have been in vain, let alone the first place…”

After saying this, Teacher Zhu looked at Qin Yiyi meaningfully.

The meaning was obvious.

Why aren’t you thanking me?

You have to thank me properly!

Qin Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh. “So?”

“So? What ‘so’?” Teacher Zhu was confused by her ‘So?’ and didn’t respond for a moment.

Qin Yiyi glanced at her, and her tone was unhurried.

“Can I ask, for such a big national competition, and even a drawing competition that is likely to go international, are you the only judge?”

The little girl’s voice was neither fast nor slow, and there was a sense of rhythm to it.

It was very pleasant to hear.

But the words she said…

Teacher Zhu frowned. “What do you mean by that? What do you mean by asking if there’s only me as the judge? This is naturally impossible. Our competition system this time is comprehensive and detailed, and there are more than ten judges.”

“So, you see, my first place isn’t decided by you alone, right?”

Qin Yiyi looked at her as if she was looking at a fool.

‘I’ve already said it so clearly, yet you still can’t figure it out. Must I say it out for you?!’

What a… fool!

Teacher- Fool-Zhu was angered by Qin Yiyi’s innocent expression.

She couldn’t catch her breath for a long time.

After a long while, she looked at Qin Yiyi with a gloomy expression and went straight to the point.

“Actually, I came here to talk to you about something. Listen carefully before you make a decision.”

She didn’t wait for Qin Yiyi to say anything.

Or perhaps, Teacher Zhu subconsciously felt that Qin Yiyi wouldn’t say anything that would satisfy her?!

She looked at Qin Yiyi.

“Your painting skill this time is pretty good. It can be considered to be super long-term performance. I am very happy with it and it also has a bit of my style. I specially came here this time to take you in as a disciple. Moreover, you don’t know our sect, right? My teacher is the vice-president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. As long as you become my disciple, you will definitely have a lot of resources later on. Oh, right, you are still young and your painting skills are not mature yet. Therefore, even if you really want to become my disciple, you can only start as an in-name disciple.”

“But don’t worry, as long as you study hard and maintain your current level, you will be able to become my official disciple in no time.”

After stating her purpose for coming over, she raised her chin slightly and looked down at Qin Yiyi.

Although she didn’t say anything, her expression clearly revealed one sentence.

‘Aren’t you going to thank me and quickly acknowledge me as your teacher?!’

Qin Yiyi blinked her eyes and looked at Teacher Zhu in front of her. She looked at her arrogant and reserved appearance.

She almost burst out laughing.

This, where did this idiot come from?!

Only an idiot could do such a thing.

Either it was Qin Yiyi’s momentary silence, or the bright smile in her eyes.

This made Teacher Zhu very angry.

Her entire brow furrowed. “Qin Yiyi, don’t think that just because you got first place that you can be arrogant and proud. You have to know that if you don’t advance in your painting skills, you will be retreating. You have to maintain a humble and studious attitude, and I and the resources behind me will become the strongest driving force in your life. Or do you want to consider someone else?”

“Teacher Lu came to look for you, didn’t he? What do you think Professor Zhou, the one he talked about, who can’t even protect himself, can give you?”

“Or do you think Lu can nurture you?”

Teacher Zhu shook her head, full of contempt when she talked about Professor Zhou and his disciple.

“I’m not afraid to tell you that something bad is going to happen to this Professor Zhou whom he thinks is highly of. Whoever gets close to him will be in trouble.”

“Are you sure you want to choose Lu and give up on such a good teacher like me?”

Qin Yiyi,”…” Not only was he dumb, his skin was as thick as a city wall!

She smiled. Her eyes were calm, but they immediately formed an invisible wall of estrangement.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to acknowledge him as my teacher at the moment.”

“Besides…”

Qin Yiyi tilted her head and looked at the other party. The corners of her eyes twitched, and a sense of nonchalance and sharpness appeared all over her body.

“If you really want me to choose a teacher, forgive me for being blunt, but whether it is in terms of character, drawing skills, or talents, you are not qualified to be my teacher!”

Originally, Qin Yiyi did not want to directly become enemies with the person in front of her.

She would just have gotten rid of her.

But… who asked this woman in front of her to provoke her again and again?

Look at the way she looked as if she was the greatest in the world. She even said that Qin Yiyi could not protect herself, and that only she could nurture her…

Qin Yiyi ignored Teacher Zhu’s livid expression and chuckled.

“To be a teacher, the most important thing is character and morality. However, no matter how I look at it, I don’t think you have either.”

“I don’t dare to acknowledge such a teacher.”

“Otherwise, when the time comes, people will say behind my back that ‘this person has a wicked teacher!'”

Teacher Zhu was originally filled with anger after being rejected by Qin Yiyi.

However, the words before were not as lethal as the ones right now.

Her face was livid with anger. She raised her hand to face Qin Yiyi and even stuttered.

“Alright, alright. I see that you are refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. What, you think that Zhou can protect you and think that you have climbed up a high branch, so you can ignore me? Let me tell you, little girl. You are still young. I will remember everything you said today. I will make you regret it one day!”

Qin Yiyi nodded indifferently.

“I am only a teenager. Compared to you, teacher, I am naturally young and very tender.”

“Teacher, you don’t have to tell me on purpose.”

Teacher Zhu,”…” She felt that if she continued to stay, she would be driven mad by this girl!

She turned her head.

Not far away, a person walked over with a loud laugh, “Good girl, as expected of the disciple that I have set my eyes on. Good disciple, well said.. Anger her to death! Teacher will take responsibility for you!”
