C38 Friends on the other side (1) (2/2)
”I didn't expect him to take advantage of me!” The principal revealed an unwilling expression before his expression darkened, ”To be able to teach you magic of the four elements, other than him, there aren't many other people. Anyway, this old thing's luck is really good. To be able to receive such an outstanding disciple.”
”Principal, do you know that rotten old man?” Although she realised that she said the wrong things just now, it would be hard to change her words back to Chang Jing's place.
”You called him 'Bad Old Man'?” The principal's expression changed.
”No, no … I was wrong!” Chang Jing immediately tried to defend herself. He did not want to appear as if she did not respect the old man in front of the Principal. I called him a good old grandpa. ”
”Good old grandpa, bad old man?” The Principal stared at Chang Jing and continued asking, ”So you're not her disciple?”
”He seemed to have mentioned the matter of taking me in as his disciple, but because I had something to do, I refused.” Chang Jing understood that she had rejected Hao Si's offer more than a month ago because she was afraid of being sold off. However, the request to take in a disciple was so childish that now, she could only use ”something” to explain.

”He and I are old rivals Old friends who have been fighting for decades! You must be wondering why he and I are friends and enemies at the same time.
”Heh heh, actually, that's a long story. He and I have known each other since we were little, and we have been good friends since we were little! When we were kids, we caught butterflies on the prairie, rode horses, fought... I remember he had a scar on his buttocks when he was riding! Heh heh, what a good time that was! ”Just like you are now, carefree …”
”But Principal, didn't you just say that you were old rivals?” Chang Jing interrupted the Principal. He understood that if the old man were to be lost in memories, he would never stop talking.
”Oh, right …” The headmaster put away the memory and turned his mind to another memory, ”Childhood is always passing quickly, in the blink of an eye we are all 16 or 17 years old. Later on, our parents thought that learning magic would bring the greatest benefits to our family, so they arranged for us to rely on our relationship to send all of us to Duchy of Meuse's Royal Faculty of Magic to learn magic. ”
”Ever since then, our struggle has begun …”
