After being emotionally stirred for a good while, the Master's eyes were reddened slightly as she looked towards Xia Chuyi and said, "I would have never expected, never expected that you, child, would be a student of Xiu Zhi."
She sighed and then added, "I have to say, we really are fated."
"However, if you are a student of Xiu Zhi, then you can't take me as your Master anymore."
The tone was unclear, a mix of happiness and regret.
Upon hearing the Master's words, Xia Chuyi thought to herself: Indeed, we are very fated, as her professor at school is Huo Shiqian's uncle, and Huo Shiqian's Aunt is also acquainted with her Master.
As for becoming an apprentice, Mrs. Gu was not her actual Master; Old Sir Guan was her only Master.
After all, cooking was her greatest love; her embroidery skills were merely average, not strong enough to carry on the heritage.
