“Have you heard of Fang Shiyun?” Xia Cheng sighed and said, “Fang Shiyun is Liang Pingchuan’s apprentice. Although Liang Pingchuan doesn’t acknowledge him as his apprentice, everyone knows very well that Fang Shiyun got all his skills from Liang Pinchuan. You should’ve heard of Liang Pingchuan’s status in the art industry, right?”

Xia Yunlou nodded.

Xia Cheng frowned. “Fang Shiyun said that he wants to take on an apprentice. I originally wanted to send Mengyan over to give it a try, but news of Qiao Xi cheating has been exposed… Qiao Xi and Mengyan are sisters, after all. I’m afraid this matter will affect Mengyan’s apprenticeship.”

When Xia Yunlou heard this, she was instantly infuriated. “Isn’t it enough that Qiao Xi, that little b*tch, has embarrassed herself? Now, she’s even delayed Mengyan’s important career. If Mengyan can’t acknowledge him as her master because of her, I’ll absolutely not let her off!”

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll ask Mr. Fang first. Maybe he doesn’t care about this. Although Mengyan and Xi Xi are sisters, they didn’t grow up together. Their personalities are completely different.”

With that, Xia Cheng called Fang Shiyun’s assistant.

“Hello, Mr. Xia. What’s the matter?” The assistant’s attitude was gentle.

“Hello. I want to ask how Mr. Xia is doing?” Xia Cheng was a little uneasy.

The assistant said indifferently, “The matter of Mr. Fang accepting an apprentice has to be put aside for now. However, Mr. Fang said that he knows the lady of the Xia family. If he has time, he hopes to meet her.”

Xia Cheng was stunned.

“Mr. Xia, you don’t have to rush the matter of the apprenticeship. After all, Miss can have a better master. I hope you can tell Miss that my master has been thinking about her.”

Xia Cheng took a while to react and immediately beamed. He did not expect Mengyan to know Fang Shiyun. There was no need to rush the apprenticeship. From what his assistant said, the man could introduce a better master to Mengyan. Could it be Liang Pingchuan?

If she could become Liang Pingchuan’s apprentice, Mengyan’s status would definitely rise. At that time, the Xia family’s status in Li City would also increase.

At the thought of this, Xia Cheng suddenly asked uneasily, “Mr. Fang, you must have heard about the calligraphy competition. Will it affect our family…”

“Those are all rumors. My master doesn’t care at all.” With that, the assistant hung up.

Xia Cheng held his phone and could not come back to his senses for a long time. He said excitedly, “Mr. Fang is indeed Mr. Liang’s apprentice. He doesn’t look down on Mengyan because Qiao Xi cheated. Moreover, he seems to know Mengyan and is willing to introduce an even more outstanding master to her!”

“Quickly make a call! Get Mengyan to come back!”

On the other hand, after the assistant hung up, he walked to Fang Shiyun’s side and said respectfully, “Sir, it’s done.”

Fang Shiyun gulped and pointed at the mountain of gifts on the table. “Will Senior like these gifts?”

The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, “Girls in their 20s should like jewelry and bags. The things you chose are very good.”

“Good! Good!” Fang Shiyun heaved a sigh of relief. “Xia Cheng actually wants me to take Senior as my apprentice? That’s too scary! She’s my senior! Am I worthy of being her master?”

The senior Fang Shiyun was talking about was naturally Qiao Xi, but he did not know that the Xia family had completely misunderstood him.

The matter of Li City University cheating came to an end, but the live broadcast was switched off midway. The only people who knew the outcome of the matter were the teachers, students, and the university leaders present. The others did not know about Qiao Xi’s relationship with Liang Pingchuan.

Fang Shiyun had gotten someone to buy some expensive gifts meant for girls. At the same time, the news of him wanting to take in a female apprentice spread. Everyone guessed that he wanted to take in a female apprentice and that he had already decided on a candidate. Otherwise, why would he buy so many gifts that young girls liked?

This matter had spread like wildfire. One of the members of the National Painting and Calligraphy Association had heard of this matter and specially asked around. He found out that Fang Shiyun had recently contacted the Xia family. Moreover, there was a daughter of the Xia family named Xia Mengyan. She was in her 20s and was a famous perfumer. She was also proficient in the four arts. Could it be that the apprentice Fang Shiyun wanted to take in was this person?

He thought for a long time and thought that Xia Mengyan was the most suitable candidate.

If that were the case, then he would build a good relationship with Xia Mengyan first. There would definitely be benefits in the future.

The news that Fang Shiyun was taking in an apprentice had spread throughout the entire art industry. At the same time, another piece of shocking news was revealed. The master of the calligraphy world, Yi Cang, actually passed off the work of another as his.
