While Wei Zhongxian and Huang Jing were chatting and laughing, they didn't know that the Grand Tutor Chu they had been waiting for had already arrived.
At this moment, Grand Tutor Chu, accompanied by his beloved disciple Qian Zhong, was sizing up the people in the pavilion from afar.
"Teacher, why don't we go over directly?”
Qian Zhong supported his teacher and voiced out the question in his heart.
"Qian Zhong, have you heard anything interesting recently?”
Qian Zhong was a little confused by his teacher's irrelevant answer, but he still thought about it seriously.
"Teacher, I haven't heard anything interesting recently.”
Qian Zhong spoke respectfully. Grand Tutor Chu stroked his beard and smiled.
"I want to tell you a strange story. Listen carefully.”
Grand Tutor Chu looked at the people in the pavilion and slowly spoke.
He didn't seem anxious at all. Huang Jing had already started looking around. On the other hand, Wei Zhongxian still looked calm and composed.
Even Wei Zhongxian's followers were the same.
"Qian Zhong, I heard rumors recently that the foreign son of the East Chamber is now like a living Bodhisattva and is loved by the people of the capital. What do you think of this?”
Qian Zhong was stunned. He had indeed heard about this matter, but he only thought that it was a rumor made up by the people of the East Hall. He did not think it was true.
Grand Tutor Chu observed the people in the pavilion while waiting for Qian Zhong's answer. He wanted to hear what his beloved disciple had to say.
"Teacher, I don't believe this. The eunuchs of the East Chamber are notorious. How could they have done something so completely different? I guess someone must have deliberately spread rumors and plotted against us.”
Grand Tutor Chu looked at Wei Zhongxian, who had always been calm and collected, and Huang Jing, who had an obviously impatient expression. After listening to his student's words, he nodded.
Qian Zhong's answer was not out of his expectations. He had asked more than one person, and the answers he got were all similar.
At first, he thought so too, but as time passed, the rumors became more and more widespread.
Out of curiosity, he sent someone to capture a barbarian from the East Chamber and interrogated him under torture. He got an answer he didn't expect.
Then, in order to confirm this matter, he secretly observed for a few days and found that it was exactly as the East Chamber foreigner had said.
That was why he agreed to meet Wei Zhongxian when Huang Jing found him.
If not for this matter, he would definitely have rejected Huang Jing's request.
"Qian Zhong, in the future, judge a person based on your own feelings.”
Grand Tutor Chu said indifferently. Qian Zhong was stunned after hearing his teacher's words.
What did the teacher mean?
Could it be…
Could it be that the rumors were true?
Qian Zhong was stunned and forgot to reply to his teacher.
"Alright, let's go over."
Grand Tutor Chu spoke again, and Qian Zhong was jolted awake.
He respectfully supported his teacher and walked toward the ancient pavilion.
Wei Zhongxian noticed the master and disciple walking over slowly at a glance. Similarly, Wang Cheng also noticed the master and disciple.
"Milord, let's go welcome them.”
Wang Cheng spoke. In terms of etiquette, his lord did not know anything.
Wei Zhongxian nodded and walked away, followed by Wang Cheng.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and walked to Grand Tutor Chu in a few steps.
"Grand Tutor Chu, Zhongxian greets Grand Tutor. Has Grand Tutor been well recently?”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he wanted to take over Qian Zhong's hand and help Grand Tutor Chu into the pavilion.
However, Grand Tutor Chu had deliberately avoided it. Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly. It was just a simple test, but it seemed that this Grand Tutor of three dynasties had a lot of prejudice against him.
Rubbing their noses awkwardly, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Cheng looked at each other and shook their heads with bitter smiles.
"Grand Secretary Huang, how have you been?"
Grand Tutor Chu ignored Wei Zhongxian and Wang Cheng and spoke to Huang Jing indifferently.
Huang Jing was stunned. Didn't they just meet a few days ago? After seeing Wei Zhongxian and Wang Cheng's awkward expressions, he instantly understood.
"Ah, haha, I'm still the same, but Elder Chu looks much younger.”
Huang Jing was observing Wei Zhongxian's expression while he was being polite to Grand Tutor Chu.
The group walked towards the ancient pavilion, with Wei Zhongxian and Wang Cheng at the back.
"Milord, this old man is putting on airs.”
Wang Cheng whispered. Wei Zhongxian signaled Wang Cheng with his eyes to not talk nonsense.
Then, he silently followed behind Grand Tutor Chu. Wang Cheng followed behind him with a frown.
"Come, Elder Huang, don't tell me you're not coming to my garden.”
Grand Tutor Chu sat down and called out to Huang Jing. Qian Zhong stood behind him.
Grand Tutor Chu continued to ignore Wei Zhongxian. Huang Jing glanced at Wei Zhongxian and grinned.
Huang Jing was about to ask Wei Zhongxian to sit down to ease his awkwardness, but before he could say anything, Wei Zhongxian sat down.
Wang Cheng took two steps forward and stood behind Wei Zhongxian.
Huang Jing was stunned. It seemed that he had thought wrongly. This fellow was not embarrassed at all.
Grand Tutor Chu was also stunned. He was deliberately ignoring Wei Zhongxian.
However, he did not want to put him in danger. He wanted to see what he would do.
This person was neither servile nor overbearing, and was much stronger than those villains in the court who fawned over those in power.
Not only did Grand Tutor Chu not get angry, he even thought highly of Wei Zhongxian.
"Lord Wei is so rude. The host hasn't invited you to take a seat. Isn't it disrespectful to the master?”
Qian Zhong spoke with an indignant expression. Grand Tutor Chu did not stop him.
As Qian Zhong spoke, the atmosphere in the pavilion became awkward.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Qian Zhong and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a light cough.
It was Wang Cheng. Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was about to speak, he rolled his eyes and spoke first.
He wanted to speak up for Wei Zhongxian, because once Wei Zhongxian started arguing with Qian Zhong, no matter what the outcome was, he would be inferior to Grand Tutor Chu and Huang Jing. Therefore, he spoke before Wei Zhongxian.
"Hehe, my master was invited by Grand Secretary Huang, and he is a guest himself. He hasn't even said that the host didn't treat him well, and yet you're the first to blame my master for his rudeness. I didn't expect Master Chu to have such a rude disciple under him!”
Wang Cheng's words didn't leave Qian Zhong any face. Wei Zhongxian also frowned after hearing it. Seeing that Grand Tutor Chu's face was still as calm as an ancient well, Wei Zhongxian didn't move.
"You…Hmph! He had long heard that the eunuchs were rude and good at distorting black and white. Today, he saw that they really lived up to their reputation.”
Qian Zhong's words not only made Wei Zhongxian and the others frown, even Grand Tutor Chu frowned slightly.
"Enough, Qian Zhong. You've gone too far.”
When Grand Tutor Chu spoke, Qian Zhong immediately lowered his head. He also realized that he had misspoken.
"Lord Wei, I don't like to beat around the bush. I've always been straightforward.”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned. He didn't expect Elder Chu to be so direct. He was speechless for a moment.
"If Elder Chu has something to say, just say it.”
