Chapter 259 Apprenticeship Banquet
Chapter 259 Apprenticeship Banquet
If he doesn't behave more pitifully, his hands and feet will be crippled, and his life will be ruined. "Master, I was just confused for a moment, so I did this. Please forgive me."
Wen Chongshan knelt and moved in front of Chen Luobai.
"I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time."
Chen Luobai looked at Wen Chongshan and felt a little reluctant, but when he thought of certain things, he hardened his heart.
This is a grave sin of betrayal!"
If we let him off easily, our Master will be unhappy!"
"Old Third, I'll call you Old Third for the last time. I know what you're thinking."
Chen Luobai said slowly.
"I haven't officially accepted you as a disciple, which has kept your hopes high, making you think you'll be my last disciple... I'm partly responsible for this."
"No, no, it's all my fault, Master, please forgive me."
Wen Chongshan lowered his head, but a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. "Of course you are wrong, you deserve retribution!"
"Do you think Lin Fan would value my wealth? In his eyes, what you think is important may not be worth mentioning at all."
Chen Luobai continued.
"Him? He doesn't care about those things at all." Lin Fan was stunned and confused.
Pei Hanjie hurriedly leaned close to his ear and whispered the meaning of "closed disciple".
Lin Fan suddenly realized that this was a business worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars.
No wonder Wen Chongshan would do such a thing as betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors.
Honestly, with that much money, even a father and son, let alone a master and apprentice, might turn against each other! Money can be a powerful tool for obsessing over things. Family ties pale in comparison.
"You said you want to sever the master-disciple relationship? Okay, I'll grant your wish." Chen Luobai gritted his teeth and tried his best to make his voice sound indifferent.
"From today on, you are no longer my disciple. I, Chen Luobai, do not have a disciple like you!"
"No!" Wen Chongshan raised his head suddenly. He had said that before just to leave a way out, but now, the way out was completely cut off! Once he was expelled from the sect, his life would be over!
"Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please give me another chance." Wen Chongshan hugged Chen Luobai's legs tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"It's too late. A traitor like you will definitely cause trouble in the future if you are not expelled from the sect." Chen Luobai said, taking a few steps back. "From today on, there is no longer any relationship between you and me as master and disciple!"
"No... Senior Brother, Second Brother, please say something for me." Wen Chongshan wailed.
But Yuan Yiqiang and Pei Hanjie both chose to remain silent. This matter was too big and they dared not plead for mercy.
"You know the rules, I hope you can abide by them." Chen Luobai said to Wen Chongshan, then turned to the other masters, "Anyone who dares to accept him as a disciple will be making things difficult for me, Chen Luobai!"
The Grandmasters present were all silent. This was an ironclad rule in the world of sculpture. Those expelled from their schools could not be accepted by other Grandmasters. This wasn't to force them into a desperate situation, but to protect the unique skills of each family.
"Yu Zhihai, remember this." Chen Luobai looked at Yu Zhihai with cold eyes. "How could I possibly accept such a person as my disciple again?"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Yu Zhihai explained quickly, "Brother Chen, for the sake of our long-term friendship, can you please let this matter go?" He knew in his heart that there were people outside waiting to cause trouble for him.
"Exposing it? You wish." Lin Fan sneered in response, "Today's matter won't be resolved so easily."
"Old Chen..." Yu Zhihai knew that the only one who could save him now was Chen Luobai.
"Whatever Lin Fan wants to do is his business. As for the friendship you mentioned, it ends here from today." Chen Luobai said coldly.
Yu Zhihai's expression turned even uglier: "Old Chen, are you really going to be so heartless?"
"Master, I have followed you for so many years, please help me." Wen Chongshan also pleaded.
"Go on." Chen Luobai didn't want to say anything more, the apprenticeship banquet had to continue.
"You old man, you've killed me..." Seeing that Chen Luobai was unmoved, Wen Chongshan roared and was about to rush forward.
But before he could stand firmly, Lin Fan kicked him to the ground and stepped on his body.
"First you betrayed your sect, then you attacked your master... Wen Chongshan, today I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he stepped hard.
There was a crisp sound, and the sound of broken bones made everyone's heart tighten.
"Ah..." Wen Chongshan screamed, his arm bent at an unnatural angle. Someone secretly glanced at Mayor Ju Gong. How could he cripple someone in front of the mayor?
However, Mayor Ju Gong acted as if nothing had happened, with a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen anything.
"Why are you howling? You still have one hand." Lin Fan teased, pretending to kick him again.
"Alright, alright, let's stop here." Chen Luobai finally spoke. To be honest, he still felt a little sorry for his apprentice. After all, he had been with him for so many years, so there was still some affection.
"Okay, Master." Lin Fan responded and kicked Wen Chongshan out, sending him sprawling onto his back.
"Get out!" Lin Fan yelled.
"Ah..." Wen Chongshan covered his broken arm, sweating profusely in pain. He gritted his teeth and stood up, not daring to say a word, and stumbled out.
"Mr. Yu, our apprenticeship banquet isn't over yet. Do you want to stay for a meal before leaving?" Lin Fan turned around and asked Yu Zhihai and the others.
"Well, we won't bother you anymore." Yu Zhihai was so scared. This young man was really ruthless.
"Lin Fan, you are young and promising, but don't go astray..." He advised tentatively.
"Oh, old man, what are you talking about? I am a good citizen who abides by the law." Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.
"Since you guys have something to do, I won't keep you here. Please do as you please. I'll give you some face." He said politely.
"Mayor Ju..." Yu Zhihai was at his wit's end and had to ask Ju Gong for help. He thought, this government representative can't just sit there and watch Lin Fan mess around.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ju Gong slowly stood up. Seeing that there was a chance, Yu Zhihai's heart suddenly lit up with hope - the mayor couldn't just ignore this matter.
"Haha, Brother Lin, you organized a great apprenticeship banquet. We won't stay any longer, as we still have things to do..." Ju Gong said to Lin Fan.
"Okay, let's get together when we have time." Lin Fan understood. The mayor was very busy, so it was a great honor for him to come.
"Thank you, Brother Jing and Brother Tong, for your kindness." He thanked them politely.
"Then we'll leave first. You can go and do your thing." Tong Chengguo glanced at Yu Zhihai coldly and said, "Some people just have to suffer a little before they learn their lesson."
