Chapter 172: Chapter 172: My True Disciple Is Ivy Kensington!
In the hall downstairs, a long flight of stairs must be traversed.
All the lights were shining on Nina Shaw, and everyone below was looking up at her, granting Nina an unprecedented sense of vanity and satisfaction!
This feeling was exhilarating, as if she was stepping on everyone beneath her.
"Look quickly, Miss Nina Shaw is coming down!"
"Oh my God, so beautiful..."
Not only on-site, but the entire internet exploded—
#NinaShaw, Master Gard’s last disciple#
#ApprenticeBanquet, NinaShaw breathtakingly gorgeous!#
All sorts of topics, as long as they were about Nina Shaw, were exploding!
Today, she was undoubtedly the princess!
Nina Shaw wore a fitting smile, and step by step, she slowly descended the stairs.
At this moment, someone loudly announced, "Master Gard has arrived."
Master Gard leisurely walked in. He was dressed very plainly and wore a mask, so no one saw his true face.
Nina Shaw was taken aback. Why was the teacher wearing a mask?
However, thinking that through all these years, nobody had seen Master Gard’s true face, it was clear that Master Gard himself was very low-key.
For a brief moment, Nina Shaw felt somewhat displeased.
If Master Gard could remove his mask at the apprenticeship banquet, she would surely receive even more attention!
Still, her face was full of smiles, and Nina Shaw obediently greeted, "Hello, teacher, I am Nina Shaw, your new disciple."
Master Gard was in a good mood, thinking about introducing his well-behaved pupil Ivy Kensington to everyone soon.
As a result, upon hearing Nina Shaw’s words, he frowned; wasn’t this the student who had looked down on him the other day?
When did she become his disciple?
"Don’t falsely claim connections; my disciples are certainly not you!"
Master Gard showed Nina Shaw no face at all, responding without hesitation.
What?
Nina Shaw was stunned; how could this be possible? She was personally chosen as a disciple by him.
"Teacher, you personally selected my work that day."
Nina Shaw replied softly, instantly arousing compassion in the crowd who said, "Master Gard, this disciple is publicly acknowledged by you; did you make some mistake?"
Harrison Shaw also walked over: "My daughter indeed won first place in the disciple competition, announced by your assistant personally."
The video of the announcement was still circulating online.
Master Gard was not a fool. In almost an instant, he understood what had happened.
Ivy Kensington’s work had been mistakenly credited to Nina Shaw!
With a meaningful smile, Master Gard asked, "Since it’s like this, tell me, what were the ingredients in your pill that day?"
Nina Shaw’s pupils contracted.
But soon, she calmed down. To be cautious, she had broken down the ingredients of Ivy Kensington’s pill these past few days!
"Black plum, atractylodes, cedar..."
Nina Shaw spoke confidently.
However, upon hearing her say the word "cedar," Master Gard’s gaze immediately turned cold.
He had thought the mistake in recognizing the work was accidental, but now it appeared to be deliberate by Nina Shaw, because only Ivy Kensington had used cedar, and Nina Shaw had stolen Ivy’s work!
"What nonsense, you’re not my disciple at all!"
Master Gard was angry at the scene; he most despised anyone who tampered with pharmaceuticals.
Harrison Shaw, having some status in Veridia, was somewhat annoyed seeing Master Gard’s denial attitude.
"You constantly claim my daughter isn’t your disciple, then who do you believe is your disciple?"
If he couldn’t name anyone, then it meant Master Gard was being deliberately provocative!
Who would have thought, with these words spoken, Master Gard instantly raised his chin proudly: "Of course, I know who my real disciple is; it is her—"
Ivy Kensington entered!
She was wearing a purple floor-length gown, with her hair up, her small face exquisite and enchanting, completely overshadowing Nina Shaw’s presence.
Nina Shaw saw her, and her face turned pale; how could Ivy Kensington have appeared!
