Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Apprenticeship_1 Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Apprenticeship_1 Nan Fei couldn’t help but laugh, “Grandpa Dai, you’re a professor. You shouldn’t be dabbling in superstitions.”
“Hahaha! It’s just too unbelievable. By the way, which university did you apply to and what major?” Dai Jinhai asked, before shaking his head, “Your grades are so good. If the college entrance exams in each province were not so different, you could genuinely be the top scorer nationwide. You can choose any higher education institution in the country.”
“I applied to the National Defense University, the top military academy in Imperial City.”
“What??????” Dai Jinhai took a while to respond, “Wait, you’re a painting prodigy, a gold medalist. Why are you going to a military school? Is it because of that man you like? You’re becoming a soldier because of him?”
“That’s half the reason!”
“What a regret, what a regret…” Dai Jinhai anxiously stood up pacing back and forth, he did not ask Nan Fei to change her ambitions. This made a warm stream flow in Nan Fei’s heart.
Dai Jinhai was more polite and humble than legend had it, he didn’t have the slightest bit of arrogance and did not force his status on others like the other professors.
“Have you made up your mind and won’t change it?”
Nan Fei shook her head.
“Well then! Are you interested in having a mentor?” Dai Jinhai stopped in front of Nan Fei, like a crafty businessman: “Rest assured, if you take me as your mentor, I will not let you down. I will provide you with the best resources, connections, and instruction.”
If outsiders heard the famous traditional painting master, the renowned professor say such a thing, they would probably be shocked beyond belief. Normally, it was always others pleading Dai Jinhai to take them as his apprentice, willing to give anything for that. There had never been a case where Dai Jinhai pleaded others to have him as their mentor, offering everything of his own!
Nan Fei was dumbfounded, in shock and unable to react for a long time.
Did she mishear this? Was this a way of accepting disciples?
In her previous life when she was accepting a disciple, she had said similar words to Yu Jingyi. Never did she expect that someday someone would say the same to her.
Begging to be her mentor no less.
Seeing Nan Fei not reacting for a long time, Dai Jinhai assumed she was unwilling and thought he was talking big. So he upped the stakes, “Don’t just look at me as an old man, I may not be as famous in the art world as Yu Jingyi, but I’m wealthier and more influential than him! You don’t know, but I have a rascal of a grandson who’s incredibly talented. And the Dai Family, our family, has a prestigious lineage with countless famous figures.”
This was the first time in Dai Jinhai’s life that he boasted about his family, and he found it quite intriguing. Although it sounded a bit shameless, as it was for a disciple with astonishing talent who caught his eye, he was willing to put his old face on the line.
What was dignity?
