Academician Wu was taken aback.
His little disciple usually had very good manners; even towards those he disliked, he would never use overly harsh language to describe them.
This statement was a rare display of vulgarity from her.
"There's no need for you to worry about this matter," Academician Wu spoke, still smiling, but a chill flickered in his eyes, "I am not so old that I can be so easily taken advantage of by others."
"It is my responsibility as a disciple," Chi Gui said calmly, yet her tone brooked no argument.
Academician Wu said nothing more after that.
Just as Chi Gui understood him, he knew this disciple, whom he had personally mentored, like the back of his hand.
Chi Gui seemed indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything or made a fuss over anything.
But that was because the matters she did care about were too numerous and too significant, so she didn't have the energy to pay attention to many trivial things.
