Chapitre 608: Chapter 597: The Reason

Bai Shan reluctantly bowed to Mr. Zhai.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhai touched his grizzled beard and smiled, "What's the matter, annoyed that I called on you to answer questions?"

"This student dare not."

Mr. Zhai looked at the expression on his face and chuckled inwardly, certainly proud enough.

He gestured with his hand, indicating for Bai Shan to walk with him.

"Lan Zhongcheng has taken on a task and gone to Zizhou; he probably won't return until after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Bai Shan was slightly surprised, he hadn't expected Mr. Zhai to discuss this with him.

Mr. Zhai looked at him and smiled, "Do you know why we like to call on you to answer questions?"

Bai Shan replied sullenly, "Because you don't like me?"

Mr. Zhai burst into a hearty laugh upon hearing this, clasped his hands behind his back, and strolled leisurely as he said, "I can't manage why He Qingping does, but I call on you because of your test papers."
