"No wonder Du Bin took you on as a disciple at such an old age!"
"Truly talented~"
After over an hour of conversation, Xing Jingtian couldn't stop exclaiming as it concluded.
He was truly envious after this discussion.
Not possessing such excellent talent himself, having such a gifted, clever, yet diligent disciple would indeed be a blessing in life.
"Yu Jing, you two are staying here for these couple of days, right?"
Remembering that the exchange meeting was a two-day event, if the people were here, he would stay an extra day. This child was intelligent and truly full of ideas. Talking with her had even made him feel more energetic.
Seeing that the two were finally concluding, Ding Yu Jing immediately blurted out upon hearing the question, "Yes, we are. We specifically brought Xiao Xi this time to learn, with the main focus being tomorrow's exchange meeting, so we'll be staying here for these two days."
"Good, then I'll stay another day. I'll get to witness this child's other abilities then."
Xing Jingtian, already engrossed in the conversation, made his decision directly.
"Xiao Lin, remember to make arrangements. We'll stay one more day and head back tomorrow afternoon." He instructed his assistant beside him.
"Sir, since you've decided, I'll go make arrangements for you right away."
It was rare for the old gentleman to be happy, and this matter was not a big deal for Wen Tong.
"Mhm..."
After speaking, he looked at the three again, his face still full of smiles, "You all haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like to join the old man for a meal?"
There were still two teachers present, so Qiu Xi didn't speak.
Instead, Yan Xingming and Ding Yu Jing paused what they were about to say. Since Elder Xing used the word "accompany," they were naturally happy to do so.
So, they smiled and said, "Elder Xing, we'll do as you say. We'll bring our students and join you for a meal."
Upon hearing the answer, Xing Jingtian burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~"
"Good~"
"Let's go, together."
"Xiao Lin, go call the people. We're going to eat."
Naturally, everything was arranged for his visit, so he wasn't truly accompanied only by his assistant Xiao Lin.
He had already dined with some of the management upon arriving yesterday. Today's meal would be with familiar faces, so there was no fear of anything going wrong.
"Alright, Elder Xing." Xiao Lin said and turned to leave.
"Let's go too."
Saying so, he stood up, leaning on his cane with one hand, and extended the other towards Qiu Xi, "Xiao Xi, come, steady me."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xi walked over, lifting her hands slightly. "Grandpa Xing, be careful."
"..."
Looking at this scene, Yan Xingming and Ding Yu Jing on the side were instantly speechless.
If they hadn't chatted with Assistant Xiao Lin while this old and young one were talking, they wouldn't be doubting it now!
This old gentleman was quite changeable!
However, the two could only sigh inwardly; they wouldn't say anything out loud.
After all, Elder Xing's actions were, in a way, providing convenience for this child, Xiao Xi.
Elder Xing was of such advanced age, and his body was still quite robust. His doing this was simply because he thought highly of this junior, and he was happy to help.
After all, they had seen some of Elder Xing's activities, and he had never given anyone such special treatment before.
This was the first time in the many years they had known Qiu Xi that she had received such significant favor.
And so, Xing Jingtian led Qiu Xi walking ahead, with Yan Xingming and Ding Yu Jing following behind, as they walked out.
The crowd gathered at the entrance when they first arrived was no longer there, likely having been persuaded to leave.
However, to their surprise, as they walked through the corridor, there were still quite a few people outside.
From a distance, they appeared to be chatting, some holding documents, giving the impression of serious academic exchange...
However, what exactly they were doing was another matter.
As Xing Jingtian walked by, many people greeted him.
After the four had gone far, the people behind them looked at the receding figures, and suddenly became lively.
