Chapter 1498: A Round of Drinks
After leaving the great hall, Ye Guan returned to his room and let out a sigh. That woman really isn't easy to handle.
Little Pagoda said, "She's very wary of you."
Ye Guan replied, "Not really; she just wants to know my true motive."
"Why?" Little Pagoda asked.
"Because once she knows my true motive, she can relax and decide whether or not to use me. Right now, she suspects my goal has something to do with the academy, so she's using the academy to pressure me and force me to reveal my true motive."
"How do you plan to respond then?"
"Revealing my true goal is out of the question, but she'll keep treating me like this unless I do that. Without her support, establishing the Academy here will be nearly impossible. However... I still want to give it a try."
"Try what?"
"To build the academy without her support."
"You knew she wouldn't agree, right?"
Ye Guan nodded. Sang Han was far from simple. If she had agreed easily, he would actually be wary.
Little Pagoda said, "It's going to be very difficult."
