Chapter 40

Following Si Fuqing into the room, Xie Yu showed no courtesy either.

With long strides, he picked up a bass guitar.

Xu Xiyun and the other four trainees came in, initially hesitating.

Si Fuqing glanced at them.

All five became serious, immediately stepping forward to lift the audio equipment, unplugging all the cables.

The music in the dance room abruptly ceased.

The trainees who were still practicing had to stop, their expressions turning sour.

“Si Fuqing!” Mu Ye stood up, his face ashen, “You’ve gone too far!”

“There are students from Class F in Teacher Lin’s room?” Si Fuqing’s eyes swept the room, and she lazily chuckled, “Seems like Teacher Lin has high standards. I’m humbled.”

In one sentence, she insulted two people.

Mu Ye clenched his fists, “Si Fuqing!”

The reason he was demoted to Class F was precisely because Si Fuqing had deliberately targeted him back then.

Xie Yu, slinging the bass over his shoulder, chuckled, “Falling from Class A to Class F does require a lot of hard work.”

Mu Ye’s face turned even more green.

He didn’t dare to directly confront Xie Yu.

Xie Yu’s fan base was generally quite mild-mannered.

But when it came to Xie Yu’s interests, they would go mad.

This was also why the production team had never dared to openly suppress Xie Yu.

“Teacher Si, isn’t this a bit too much?” Lin Qingyan clenched her palms, maintaining her smile, “Are you trying to stop our training?”

Hearing this, Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow.

She took two more steps forward, slightly bending down so her eyes were level with Lin Qingyan’s.

She wasn’t wearing high heels, yet her height seemed overwhelmingly oppressive to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan couldn’t help but take a step back.

Si Fuqing gave a slight smile, whispering in a voice only she could hear, “What are you playing at? Want me to pull the filler out of your nose?”

Lin Qingyan’s expression finally changed.

Her eyes instantly reddened, her voice shaky, “What do you mean, Teacher Si?”

“Let’s go,” Si Fuqing ignored her, straightening up and gesturing her trainees to follow, “Back to training.”

Reaching the door, she looked back and gave a small smile, “Remember, if anyone moves our stuff again, move it back. Don’t be mistreated.”

Xie Yu and the five others followed her, leaving openly and uprightly.

Xu Xiyun lowered his voice, “So, Brother Xie, why did we go to eat first?”

Xie Yu grunted, “You need to be full to have the strength to pick a fight.”

Xu Xiyun: “…?”

Back in the dance room, Lin Qingyan’s lips trembled, her complexion gradually turning pale.

Si Fuqing had really gone mad!

Almost every area in the training base had cameras, including the dormitories.

Except for the time they spent sleeping, these cameras were always operational, so the trainees were always cautious with their words and actions.

Lin Qingyan couldn’t understand Si Fuqing’s behavior at all.

In the entertainment industry, every celebrity had a public persona.

To maintain this persona in front of the camera, they had to be cautious in every word and action.

Has Si Fuqing really thrown caution to the wind?

“Teacher Lin, don’t bother with that lunatic Si Fuqing,” Mu Ye offered comfort. “Once the Zuo family announces their disassociation with her, our company will teach her how to be a human being.”

Si Fuqing’s carefree days were numbered.

Mu Ye was getting anxious.

Days had passed since Old Master Zuo’s funeral; why was there still no news from the Zuo family?

Lin Qingyan snapped back to reality and resumed her smile, “Let’s focus on the training, Mu Ye.”

Her eyelashes lowered, casting a shadow over her eyes.

At that moment, at the Zuo house.

Zuo Tianfeng looked surprised, “You two are leaving?”

“Indeed, my brother and I have stayed at the Zuo residence for two days. It’s time for us to return to Eastern Mulberry,” the young man spoke, both courteous and distant. “Mr. Zuo, we take our leave.”

Zuo Tianfeng wished to persuade them to stay but found no way to do so.

He humbled himself, saying, “If there’s anything the Zuo family can assist you with in the future, we won’t hesitate!”

If they could establish a relationship with a Master of Yin-Yang, the Zuo family would prosper.

“Very well,” the young man nodded. “How is the old lady doing?”

“I haven’t informed the old lady yet,” Zuo Tianfeng sighed. “Her health isn’t good, and she’s undergoing treatment in the city of Sijiu. Ironically, Old Master Zuo was fit. Who knew something like this would happen?”

His eyes turned somewhat sinister.

Old Master Zuo was in good health; living another ten or twenty years should have been no issue.

But the hospital found nothing wrong, which was strange.

Naturally, Zuo Tianfeng had heard about the mystical powers of the Masters of Yin-Yang. A powerful one could alter one’s destiny, and command ghosts and spirits.

The Fujisan family was the most powerful clan of Masters of Yin-Yang.

Since a Master of Yin-Yang from the Fujisan family had personally arrived, he couldn’t help but wonder if Old Master Zuo’s death might have involved some Yin-Yang manipulation. Yet, he dared not voice such a question.

But he dared not ask whether a Master of Yin-Yang was involved in his father’s death.

“I see,” the young man nodded. “My condolences.”

Despite Zuo Tianfeng’s attempts to retain them, the two left quickly.

On the way, the other young man furrowed his brow, “Could it be the girl adopted by the Zuo family, the one with the luck, is causing trouble? Even if her luck was stripped to less than 10%, it should be enough to ensure a century of prosperity for a family.”

“No, I’ve observed her; her luck is still severely lacking,” the young man dismissed the notion. “And she’s not a Master of Yin-Yang, nor would she have the chance to come in contact with one.”

“Most likely, something went wrong during the transfer of her fate energy, which is common. We’ll just report this to our master when we go back.”

What does Old Master Zuo’s death have to do with them?

Whether it was the Zuo family or even the city of Sijiu’s premier Yu family, none were worthy of a second glance from their Fujisan family.

They were only in the city to check if there was a problem with Fujisan family’s Yin-Yang techniques.

Everything else was irrelevant to them.

“Alright,” the other young man nodded. “We’ll need to avoid Eastern Province on our way back, encountering the Ji family would make the situation challenging.”

The Fujisan family feared no one, except when facing the Ji family.

After all, their ancestors had traveled to the Great Xia dynasty in 639 to learn the art of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements from the Ji family, paving the way for the later Fujisan family.

“The Ji family has been out of the picture for quite some time; they wouldn’t involve themselves in such trivial matters. Besides, over the years, they’ve not only failed to advance but have actually regressed. They’re no match for my Fujisan family,” the young man waved his hand dismissively. “Let’s go, we’re heading back to Eastern Mulberry.”

Back at the “Youth With You” training base.

During the break, Lin Qingyan stepped out of the dance room and walked to the lounge, “Where’s the surveillance footage?”

The assistant handed her a USB drive, “Here it is, I’ve also copied it onto your phone.”

Lin Qingyan took the phone and saw the surveillance footage had clearly captured all of Si Fuqing’s actions.

Tucking a stray hair behind her ear, she smiled, “Good, find an appropriate time and leak it online.”

It would ruin both Si Fuqing and Xie Yu.

Two birds with one stone.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” the assistant smiled. “The official class list released by the production team this morning has already stirred up the fans who are indignant on your behalf.”

The list released at nine in the morning had immediately set off an uproar among the fans.

[Disgusted. Why is Xie Yu actually in Si Fuqing’s class? What is the production team thinking? Shouldn’t he be in Lin Qingyan’s class for dance?]

[I’m not being biased, but comparing Teacher Lin Qingyan and Si Fuqing is like comparing heaven and earth.]

[Can Si Fuqing be a little self-aware and give Xie Yu to Lin Qingyan?]
