Chapter 1105 - 184: About to be Promoted
This sigh was truly from the depths of his heart. Ever since meeting Zhuang Xun at Mohui Garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Fulin had started having people look into him.
He knew that he was now living in Changqing Alley and that he had come to the capital with two disciples to study.
What scholars care most about is their reputation, so he began to scheme, slowly letting hints of past grudges slip out, thinking of stirring up a situation and then instigating his two disciples to leave him.
As long as Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had brains, they wouldn’t acknowledge someone with a tarnished reputation as their teacher.
What would Zhuang Xun have left then?
He would only be able to leave the capital once again.
But Chen Fulin hadn’t expected that just as he began to lay his plans, barely after finding out that their teacher-student relationship seemed very close and likely difficult to sever, Zhou Man suddenly became famous throughout the capital.
Truth be told, Chen Fulin really didn’t take Zhou Man seriously at first.
Although she was also a disciple of Zhuang Xun, she was a female disciple at that, with an average family background and studying medicine—what was there to pay attention to?
But just as Zhou Man’s name was gaining fame in the capital, she started to enter and interact with the Yin Family, the Cheng Family... all through the connections with the Su Family. Even though she was just providing medical treatments and might not have much rapport, the always cautious Chen Fulin didn’t dare to act rashly.
Dealing with Bai Shan and Bai Cheng was different; he knew where the weakness of scholars lay, but facing Zhou Man, he felt somewhat at a loss on how to proceed.
