Chapter 871: Short-lived Disciple

After suggesting, Su Kuo couldn’t help but say, “Sister, but I remember Brother Niu saying that even if we resolve and avoid such a short life, there will be many hardships in the future. It’s also very easy for something to happen and she will die. Sister, why don’t you change to another one?”
Even though he did not know much yet, there would not be any mistakes in such a huge calamity.
Even if Jiang Wanlin avoided this calamity, there would be many hardships in the future. As her Master, it would definitely be very tiring.
Now, Jiang Wanlin was not her sister’s disciple yet. They could cut off the connection from the beginning.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “I still like her very much. I’ll go and ask Junior Brother Xiao Niu if she’s suitable to be my disciple. I’ll see if she’s suitable after getting to know her. If she’s not suitable, I won’t take her in. Her fate hasn’t been decided yet. I can’t give up just like that. If there’s no such thing as fate, I’ll definitely get to know her first.”
Of course, Su Xiaolu knew that there was no trouble in letting her go now, but she did not want to.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was insistent, Su Kuo said, “Sister, let’s go find Brother
Niu.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay.”
Little Niu was in class, so Su Xiaolu and Su Kuo waited. After the lesson ended, Little Niu came out with a smile.
“Senior Sister, Little Kuo, let’s talk in our room.”
Little Niu led the two of them back to their room.
After returning to his room, Little Niu asked, “What conclusion did Little Kuo come to after he examined Jiang Wanlin today?”
Su Kuo sighed. “Brother Niu, that Jiang Wanlin has a short life and is about to die. There seems to be a calamity, but I can’t see it clearly.”
Su Xiaolu asked worriedly, “Junior Brother, is there a way to resolve it?”
Little Niu pondered for a moment before saying, “How about this? I’ll go take a look at her first.”
Little Niu could tell that Su Xiaolu had really taken a fancy to Jiang Wanlin.
He would come to a conclusion after reading her.
The three of them then secretly went to see Jiang Wanlin.
Jiang Wanlin and the other two were eating and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mu Feng kept giving the good things to Chen Lian, who then gave them back to him.
Jiang Wanlin lowered her head and ate quietly.
Chen Lian looked a little shy. She took a bite of the pork rib and said with sparkling eyes, “Brother Mu Feng, this pork rib is too delicious. I’ve never eaten such pork ribs before.”
“I wonder if I can eat it again in the future.”
Chen Lian sighed.
Mu Feng knew that her family was poor and she was lucky to have been chosen to enter Guiyuan Academy. Chen Lian was delicate and kind-hearted. The way she looked at him was so dependent, making him want to protect her.
From the corner of his eye, Mu Feng saw the unmoved pork ribs on Jiang
Wanlin’s plate. He reached out with his chopsticks to pick them up and said to Jiang Wanlin, “Wanwan, give your pork ribs to Lian’er. She’s never eaten these before. She’s different from you.”
Jiang Wanlin didn’t even have a chance to refuse before the pork rib went into Chen Lian’s bowl.
Chen Lian looked at Jiang Wanlin guiltily and pursed her lips.
Mu Feng said magnanimously, “Lian’er, eat quickly.”
“Thank you, Brother Mu Feng.”
Chen Lian thanked him softly and lowered her eyes to avoid meeting Jiang Wanlin’s eyes. She started eating the pork ribs.
She’d been born into a not-so-rich family and was the eldest daughter. Her father preferred sons. Someone in the village had come to pick students, and she’d been chosen. She’d tried her best to seize the opportunity, and she understood that this was her chance to change her fate.
When she arrived at the academy, she was good at reading people from their body language. After getting to know Mu Feng, she relied on him. Hence, even though she knew that Jiang Wanlin was Mu Feng’s fiancée, she still interfered with them. She was like a vine that lacked nutrients, clinging tightly to a tree to absorb nutrients.
Moreover, Mu Feng had given all of this to her willingly.
Chen Lian ate happily, but Jiang Wanlin’s expression was very dark.
Seeing that her expression wasn’t good, Mu Feng also frowned. “Wanwan, can you not be so petty and be more magnanimous? When you were at home, did you lack any pork ribs?”
Jiang Wanlin opened her mouth, but she was speechless.
Everything she said was wrong.
Her heart was sore and bitter, the delicious food tasted like wax in her mouth.
After dinner, the three of them left the canteen together.
Su Xiaolu and the other two, who were watching from the dark, had complicated expressions.
Su Kuo frowned. “Sister, why is this man like this? What’s his name again?”
Su Kuo couldn’t think of a way to describe it. He felt as if there was a stone in his heart. Jiang Wanlin didn’t do anything wrong. If she didn’t want to give it to her, so be it. Jiang Wanlin didn’t lack this piece of pork rib. The girl wouldn’t die if she didn’t eat this piece of pork rib either.
“At the expense of others.”
Little Niu was a little disdainful. Then, he sighed and said, “What’s lost now is just a piece of pork rib, but what’s lost in the future is a life.”
Su Xiaolu pursed her lips. She was already angry.
She had never encountered such an aggrieved thing since she was young.
She was the youngest. Her brothers and sisters had given in to her, but she also clearly remembered her brothers and sisters’ preferences. She did not only know how to enjoy herself.
That girl had enjoyed Jiang Wanlin’s pork ribs, but she didn’t even say a word of gratitude.
That boy was clearly very rude, but he still blamed Jiang Wanlin for being too petty.
Why did these three people have such a strange relationship?
It was very uncomfortable. How could there be such a relationship? How suffocating it was to be in it.
Su Xiaolu looked at Little Niu with worry. “Junior Brother, can she be saved?”
“It’s a little complicated. There is a thread of marriage connecting her and the man. This is the fuse that caused her death. Only by undoing her marriage can she avoid this calamity. Her future hardships are mostly related to marriage, but as long as she is involved in marriage, she will definitely not have a good ending.”
Little Niu sighed. It was a complicated emotional connection and a fatal weakness.
A love triangle.
This thought suddenly appeared in Su Xiaolu’s mind. Wasn’t this a love triangle?
She also felt a headache coming on. What should she do?
Especially since Jiang Wanlin was fatal in marriage. In other words, even if she resolved it this time, she might be in another marriage in the future. If she was her disciple, Su Xiaolu would almost suffocate. She also frowned and revealed a bitter expression.
“Then what should I do?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo and Little Niu.
Su Kuo quickly shook his head. “Sister, I really can’t answer this question.”
He was puzzled as to why humans did this. Today, he loved this person to death, but after obtaining it, he suffered all kinds of harm. Then, he would fall in love with a new person again. His ancestors were also perplexed by this.
Little Niu pondered for a moment. He also sighed and said, “Senior Sister, she and I are not fated, so I can’t interfere and enlighten her. I only have one suggestion. Senior Sister can interact with her and teach her some principles.
It’s best if she puts it down herself.”
However, it might not be easy. After such a short observation, Jiang Wanlin did not flare up when she was wronged. Instead, she endured it. Even if Su Xiaolu taught her, she might not listen. If such a person insisted on doing something, she might not rest until she died..
