The Disciple as Shy as a Mouse

"I can't tell you that. That is a secret of my school," Gu Bailu said calmly.

Qian'er looked at her with a trace of envy in her limpid eyes.

She had never seen anyone refuse Lu Fenying so forthrightly.

Lu Fenying narrowed his eyes. "How much do I have to pay for you to divulge the secret?"

"Not even for a thousand taels of gold." Gu Bailu straightened her back. "Your Highness, you have everything in the world; please don't covet my secret recipe."

This was a new experience for Lu Fenying. "You're quite bold. Haven't you heard of my methods?"

Gu Bailu smiled lightly. "Your Highness, you can't give me what I want, so it would be best for you to drop this idea. If you refuse, I am not afraid. My and my disciple's lives are insignificant. If we can bring the crown prince and his love down with us, then it is no loss."

The master of the Su family flew into a rage. "How dare you! Never speak to the crown prince like that!"
