435 A Stubborn Fool 3 (1/2)

Fan Qi shook his head and said: ”That is the person Gu Li Sheng personally picked, I will naturally trust him.”

Fan Jin was completely shocked.

”Father! You know! ?”

Fan Qi looked at his own son in the eyes and said: ”I might be old, but I am not foolish. Do you think without my consent, Gu Li Sheng would be able to put up his ”sleight of hand” performance within the Zephyr Academy? I do not only know that Jun Xie is the real disciple that Gu Li Sheng picked, I am also aware of groundless but malicious rumours sweeping across the whole campus. You might want to know, that the jade emblem of the Beast Spirit faculty in Jun Xie's hands was issued by me personally.”

After Fan Jin heard his father's words, he suddenly laughed.

”Since Father trusts Little Xie's character, all these things would be easy to arrange! Uncle Gu really have very keen eyes, the Little Xie that he picked was actually able to exceed him in the Spirit Healing technique! That surely proves Little Xie cannot be measured against the same yardstick used for normal youths. Father, just let Jun Xie have a go at it!”

Under Fan Jin's persistent and unwavering persuasion, Fan Qi finally agreed to allow Jun Xie to temporarily care for Fan Zhuo's condition. But if any situation beyond Jun Xie's capabilities were to arise, he must at the first instance inform Fan Jin and Fan Qi, and was not to hide anything about Fan Zhuo's condition from him.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Fan Jin was all smiles when he walked out of the Headmaster's office.

And hidden in a place near the office, Ah Jing was still holding his bruised cheek, thinking he had been unfairly victimised as he watched the departing figure of Fan Jin.

He saw Fan Jin's happy expression and Ah Jing's heart sank. Judging from that reaction, he feared the Headmaster must have believed the Elder Young Master, and that must mean that Jun Xie would still be staying on in the bamboo grove in the days ahead.

When that thought came into his mind, Ah Jing was suddenly filled with dread.

If even the Headmaster believed Jun Xie's lies, who else would be able to save his Young Master! ?

”Ah Jing? What are you doing here?”

Suddenly, a voice tinged with query sounded from behind Ah Jing.
