Chapter 428: Becoming an Apprentice (Part Two)
Lin Dong shook his head. “I really want to become your student and learn from you.”
Xu Cheng looked at his two good friends and smiled as he said, “See? Both talent and qualifications, this kid is horrible in both.”
Lin Dong’s face suddenly became red.
“But, his persistence moved me.” Xu Cheng’s words suddenly changed in tone, and it really turned around Lin Dong’s mood from utter despair.
Li Wei looked at Li Dong. “Brat, you are becoming his apprentice, are you still waiting for us to make you tea?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately knew what to do. He hurried over and started boiling the water.
At this time, Luo Yi looked at him and snorted, “Kid, do you know how lucky you are? You wouldn’t be able to find another teacher on his level in all of Huaxia. Really, if I were your teacher, I would be too lazy to even look at you. Not to mention him, even if it was myself taking in students, I wouldn’t find someone like you.”
Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask him. “You are very powerful too?”
Luo Yi lifted the tea cup in disdain and just crushed it with his bare hands.
Lin Dong was immediately dumbfounded upon seeing this. He already endured this guy badmouthing him in front of his teacher for a long time, and now he felt like he should probably just keep on enduring, or he might just end up like that tea cup.
After the water boiled, he reached for the can and took out some tea leaves. He was a bit clumsy with the leaves, and he also didn’t have the patience to slowly brew the tea. Li Wei’s heart ached for those tea leaves and he smacked Lin Dong on the hand and said, “Brat, you are wasting these leaves, do you know that?”
Xu Cheng had received 150 grams of Da Hong Pao tea from Elder Ye, the kind that not everyone could get. This was these two’s first time borrowing a bit of Xu Cheng’s glory to enjoy something of this level, yet Lin Dong didn’t even look at the leaves and just grabbed some from the can and threw it into the teapot. The calm Li Wei could no longer stay calm.
Lin Dong was indeed really anxious to become Xu Cheng’s apprentice, and he was in a hurry to brew this tea and then toast it to his new teacher. He also didn’t know what was Da Hong Pao, since he was, after all, just 18 years old. How would he know that this tier of Da Hong Pao was specifically saved for high-level government officials. After being shouted at by Li Wei, he was also startled, and then he slowed down.
“Isn’t it just tea, why so stingy… Later on, I will buy a whole truck for my teacher to pay my respects,” Lin Dong snorted.
Li Wei glared at him. “Do you know what kind of tea this is? Buy a truck? Not to mention a truck, even if you can get me a pound of this, I will change my last name to yours.”
“Alright, later on I will buy it. It’s just tea leaves, chill,” Lin Dong snorted.
Li Wei directly gave him the special tea’s packaging ad said, “Here, take this packaging and go look around on the market. Don’t bring some fake ones here to embarrass yourself. If you can even buy 150 grams of this, I will admit defeat.”
Lin Dong directly took the packaging into his bag. After the tea was done, he formally raised his cup and came before Xu Cheng. Then, kneeling sincerely, he held the cup forward to Xu Cheng and said, “Teacher, please accept this cup from your apprentice Lin Dong. Please, have some tea.”
Xu Cheng faintly smiled and reached out to take the cup and took a sip. Just then, in the yard, Young Master Lin and Lin Han barged in and pushed away the maid. Especially when Lin Han saw his son kneeling before someone, he immediately became furious.
“You b@stard, I’ve never even seen you kneel me, and you are kneeling to someone else? Look if I will beat you to death or not!” Then, he charged over and was about to hit him.
Seeing his dad actually following over, Lin Dong was surprised and also angry. Secondly, he was also scared that his dad would ruin this whole ceremony for him.
“Dad, don’t mess this up for me!” he shouted.
Lin Han directly pulled him up and then pointed at Xu Cheng and cursed, “So you are that liar that my son had been worshiping all day?”
