Chapter 646: Gu Mang the Human Cheat Code

Not at all concerned about the music, Gu Mang replied with an air of nonchalance, “Up to you.”

Shao Jin, however, thought it was inappropriate and thus glanced at the rest, saying, “I think it’s better to wait until Welcome Night is over.”

Someone supplemented, “I agree. We were lucky enough to have a human cheat code like Gu Mang. We have to show the other schools that the medical students are multi-talented!”

“That’s right!” The group was confident that they could steal the limelight at Welcome Night since they had Gu Mang’s help.

Shao Jin’s lips twitched when he heard that.

“Okay, that’s enough.” A girl nodded her head and turned her attention back to the costumes with excitement. “Let’s try on the clothes first!”

“Okay.” The dancers thus picked up their costumes and headed to the changing room.

…

The preparation for Welcome Night proceeded as planned. Capital University had released the names of the guests who would be attending the event on their official website. They were all reputable big shots from various fields like medicine, art, physics, and mathematics.

Meanwhile, at the Lei residence, while Lei Xiao regretted not adopting Gu Mang and Gu Si along with Gu Yin, he was thankful that Gu Yin had managed to get into the medical organization. Over the past year, he had received many olive branches from various families and was promoted after Qin Rui was transferred back to the capital. His next step was entering the capital.

His wife’s maiden family had always despised him and they had been upset over the fact that their daughter had to move to Ming City when they got married. However, when they heard that the medical organization had recruited Gu Yin, their attitude toward him changed completely.

When news of Gu Yin’s return reached Old Master Xia’s ears, he personally made a trip down to the Lei residence from the capital. At the dining table, he spoke kindly and gently to her, asking, “Gu Yin, are you used to the workings of the medical organization?”

Gu Yin always maintained a cheerful disposition in front of her elders, which pleased them a lot. Smiling, she answered, “Yes, my professor and seniors take very good care of me.”

The elderly man nodded. “Tell me if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.” She drank a mouthful of soup and, upon recalling something, looked up at Lei Xiao and told him, “Uncle, Master Bi is coming to pay us a visit tomorrow.”

Having no interest in piano, Lei Xiao had naturally never heard of the maestro. He was just about to ask who he was when his father-in-law looked at Gu Yin with wide eyes and asked, “Are you referring to the pianist Master Bi?”

“Yes,” she replied as she turned to face Old Master Xia.

Hearing that, the shrewd old man’s eyes glistened with interest. Even though he seemed to have formed his own thoughts, he did not speak hastily. Instead, he calmly asked, “Why is he visiting us?”

Lei Xiao froze when he heard that question. His father-in-law did not like him one bit and yet he used the word ‘us’ as if they were a family.

Gu Yin obediently explained, “Master Bi wants to take me as his disciple. As a ritual, he has to receive approval from Uncle first.”

“What? Master Bi wants to take you as his disciple?” Old Maser Xia looked at her in astonishment.

She bobbed her head in response. “He said he’ll be coming to visit us tomorrow and once Capital University’s Welcome Night is over, he’ll take me to Jijing Island to hold an apprenticeship banquet.”

Even though Lei Xiao had no idea who Master Bi was, he had heard of Jijing Island. It was a well-known island that struck fear in people’s hearts.

Old Master Xia could not contain himself at all, as evidenced by the slight trembling of his chopsticks. Putting down the chopsticks, he picked up his cup of tea, and took a sip of it to regain his composure. He tried his best to maintain his voice when he spoke. “He said that he’ll take you back to Jijing Island with him?”

She hummed an assent, which made him fall silent. It was obvious that his mood was fluctuating greatly.
