Chapter 670 - Guilty

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

The Head of the Music Association shook his head as a bitter smile slipped into his lips.

“This is fate,” he murmured to himself. “Now that we know, what are we going to do about it?”

After the call, Elder Xu placed down his phone and sighed.

..

On the other side of the road, President Tan was originally staring at Yao Tangwith a sorrowful gaze.

Yao Tang also stared up at him with an indescribable emotion flashing across her eyes.

“I heard that the President’s students don’t have to participate in the assessment to enter the Association,” she said slowly, crossing her arms over her chest. “What do you have to say to that, teacher?”

Hearing her call him that, he felt even more guilty.

“I just wanted to train you so that you’d have more experience. Besides, participating in the assessment doesn’t pose much of a challenge for you anyway. Didn’t you already pass?”

Just then, he lowered his voice, “If I didn’t let you participate in the assessment, then you also wouldn’t have met someone like Elder Xu.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As he explained, he felt that he was starting to make much more sense.

But then again...if he hadn’t concealed the fact that Yao Tang didn’t have to participate in the assessment, then she wouldn’t have participated as she did.

If she hadn’t, then Elder Xu wouldn’t have been able to see her.

Maybe then he wouldn’t even know of the prodigy lurking in City A.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to grow professionally in her craft.

It’s just that he had wanted to play a bigger role in this professional development of hers. He didn’t want her to leave this hastily.

President Tan wanted to impart some lessons to her before she left for the big city.

But it seemed that she already knew everything.

As he thought of this, his face turned even gloomier.

He didn’t know what to think anymore.

As for Yao Tang, as soon as she saw President Tan’s face, she also couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows at him. What was he thinking?

The middle-aged man shook his head.

No, it wouldn’t do him well to keep thinking about it.

If he continued to think, she might just walk out on him.

Just then, when he looked up, he was met with Yao Tang’s teasing gaze which made him even more uncomfortable.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll send you back. I’m already exhausted from the first Assessment.”

“Didn’t you drag me over here for something?” She tilted her head curiously.

President Tan couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

There was no reason for him to look for her.

But he couldn’t tell her the real reason, right?

One of the reasons was that he didn’t want Yao Tang to say any longer with Elder Xu. Another reason was to rub it in the old man’s face that she was really his student.

There was no need for him to look for her.

There was no need for him to worry.

However, now that he was facing her puzzled face, he couldn’t say a word.

“I haven’t seen you in the last few days, so I wanted to understand the situation,” he stammered out. “Besides, you’ve done so well today, so naturally, I’d want to celebrate with you.”

“There’s really no need. Thank you.”

Just the sight of his expression was enough to make her head pound.

She sighed.

However, as she was about to leave anyway, she conveniently agreed. She didn’t expect to listen to the President’s incessant chatter as they were walking.

She had to resort to this to quiet him down.

It was very effective. Throughout their entire walk, President Tan didn’t speak to her once. Instead, he just looked ahead as if he were concentrating on something else.

As soon as Yao Tang strode down, she saw a slender figure waiting right by the post.

Upon seeing her walk from the other side of the sidewalk, Cheng Yan stepped to greet her with a faint smile on his lips.
