YM778.TV Chapter 213: Last Apprentice
Firstly, he did not curse anyone. Secondly, he did not gossip. Thirdly, his posts did not contain any other sensitive information.
Besides, “Professor Su Yi” was only a small account with 30k fans. The information management department thought he was joking and was making a rumor. How could Liu Man possibly have transferred to Capital University!
Professor Su’s influential area was limited. At the start, surely, no netizens noticed these three Wei Bo posts. However, the students who had been in Professor Su’s electives saw them, and they all commented below:
“My mouth cannot shut from the shock.”
“Professor Su, is what you are saying true? Liu Man is coming to our school?”
“Liu Man is your student?”
“Professor Su is very prestigious, so his words must be true.”
“I’ve watched Liu Man write calligraphy in one of her live-streams. Her calligraphy surely is super good!”
“The last apprentice is the mentor’s last apprentice, and the mentor usually will retire later on and not take in any more apprentices. It means this apprentice must be the mentor’s favorite student, and her position must be special and superb! Looks like Professor Su pays lots of attention to Liu Man!”
“Of course. If he doesn’t think Liu Man is important, would he have transferred her to our school?”
What surprised the classmates was Su Yi replied to their comments, “Indeed, Liu Man is my student. She might not be the most talented student I’ve met, but she is the one who surprises me the most. This September, she will become your fellow student. I wish you all will become good friends with her.”
“Professor, good job!”
“Godly support from the professor, hahaha. I’ve never thought of being in the same school as the Hanfu Goddess.”
“I’m looking forward to Liu Man coming here to study.”
“I’m also looking forward to seeing her on the campus. Capital Music University is sucky and they belittle her. They do not want the Hanfu Goddess, but we want her here!”
“Waiting for the Goddess to arrive!”
…
It was probably because Liu Man participated in the filming of “Happy Guo Guo” before and popularized Capital University’s local group here that all the students in the university had a good impression of her, and there almost was nobody who didn’t welcome her. After all, Professor Su’s dignity and reputation were there. Who dared to doubt her?
Ever since Liu Man started studying the clerical script and the regular script all over again, she never live-streamed herself writing calligraphy ever again. She felt that she had quite unfamiliar skills when she wrote these two kinds of fonts, and she wasn’t at the tier to show her work. She felt too embarrassed to live-stream herself writing calligraphy in front of her fans.
Therefore, excluding Princess Man’s old fans, the others, which included her new fans, had never seen her calligraphy work yet, not to mention connecting her to Su Yi’s last apprentice.
These three Wei Bo posts of Su Yi’s were like three flaming bombs thrown into the darkness. They exploded!
At the start, the students from Capital University were in lead, and they reposted and liked these posts, popularizing Su Yi’s account. More and more onlookers saw his posts, and everyone started reposting them all at once.
“Hanfu Goddess is impressive; she hid a talent of hers.”
“Yeah. Even I, who don’t know calligraphy at all, have heard of Su Yi’s name before. He sure is a big character!”
“I want to look at our Goddess’s calligraphy works.”
“Someone has flaunted them on Wei Bo before. Go search for them.”
“What godly character is Liu Man? It feels like there’s nothing she cannot do.”
“Even art students can be this impressive?”
…
#Godly Turning Point: Hanfu Goddess, Liu Man, is transferring to Capital Unversity#
#Liu Man hides her identity — Master Calligraphist Su Yi’s last apprentice#
After those already censored news headlines, these became the newest and most popular search tags.
All the netizens went to Capital University’s official account and “Professor Su Yi”s’ Wei Bo account to like their posts while commenting that they did a good job.
“Compared to Capital University, it seems Capital Music University is even more merciless.”
“Capital Music University’s leaders and teachers should stand out and apologize to Liu Man!”
“Mhm. Their decision before to kick her out is initially wrong, and they still have the face to censor our comments.”
“Will our comments now get censored, too?”
“I’m so afraid, too. I typed so many words before, and they all got blocked.”
“We probably won’t get censored again, unless that pervert teacher’s father is powerful enough to reach into Capital University.”
“Hey, you. Be more discreet. If you talk like this, you will be censored.”
“Oh. I meant, teacher you-know-who.”
…
Wen Fangfei saw Su Yi’s posts on the internet and hurriedly told Wei Wanru about them. Liu Man’s notice of her removal from the school roll had just got passed out, and now Capital University’s transferring certificate came right after. However, Wei Wanru took hold of Liu Man’s transcript and files.
She had never, ever expected her old friend would be stealing a talented student away from behind her back.
Wei Wanru called Su Yi and said angrily, “Old fogey, why are interfering as an outsider?”
“Hey, hey. How am I interfering as an outsider? I knew Liu Man before you knew her. She’s my student. It’s fair for a mentor to bolster his apprentice!”
“Liu Man’s transcript is in my hands. I will not give her to you.”
“Your school has already kicked her out. It’s no use even if you keep her files. Let it go. You won’t be able to decide for her,” Su Yi said sincerely, “It has already gotten to this step that Liu Man will not be able to stay any longer in your school. Here at Capital University, she gets to change her learning environment and her mood. I don’t want her calligraphy talents to get buried.”
“I don’t want her Guqin talents to be buried!” Wei Wanru felt extremely regretful. She should’ve begged the principal to transfer Liu Man to the folk music major right after the ensemble concert. Now, everything was too late.
Su Yi could hear the disappointment in Wei Wanru’s tone. He had known Wei Wanru for almost fifty years and knew her well. She didn’t get married and dedicated her whole life to the Guzheng. She treated and cared about her students like her children. She loved Guzheng too much.
“You teach Guzheng. Can you teach Liu Man on the Guqin?”
Su Yi’s question chocked Wei Wanru, “The folk song department also have a Guqin major…”
“Do they have the ability to be Liu Man’s teacher?”
Su Yi’s question was extremely sharp, and Wei Wanru was speechless, “You’re right. We have no one here who can teach Liu Man. To be honest, I think, with Liu Man’s Guqin skills, she already has the qualifications to become a teacher herself and take in her own apprentices.”
Even if Liu Man transferred to the folk music major, she was just getting a certificate and would not be learning anything. Transferring to Capital University would be able to improve her skills and give her more knowledge about all aspects.
Su Yi laughed, “Then don’t you already have an answer? Why do you still have to be entangled in which school she goes to? As long as she is still in the capital, you will still have a chance to hear her play.”
“You’re pretending to be innocent after you got an advantage,” Wei Wanru said, “Tomorrow, I will send Liu Man’s transcript files to your school in person.”
“All right. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I will treat you to afternoon tea.”
