"Master! Master! I am Liuli!" Xia Liuli's call echoed in the noisy streets, but it was like a sharp blade, instantly breaking the tranquility in Zhao Ti's heart. He sat in a luxury car, closely guarded by two bodyguards, looking through the car window, coldly watching the figure chasing at the rear of the car. Zhao Ti originally planned to ignore Xia Liuli's entanglement, but seeing her almost desperate running, a ripple appeared in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the driver to stop the car. The car window slowly lowered, and Zhao Ti's indifferent face was exposed to the air, waiting for Xia Liuli's arrival. "Master!" Xia Liuli ran to the front of the car breathlessly, tears had blurred her eyes, "I thought you would never see me again..." Xia Liuli's crying did not move Zhao Ti, he still maintained that expressionless look. However, Xia Liuli did not back down. Instead, she took a deep breath and continued, "Master, I know that plagiarism is my fault, but I was really forced to do it. You know my background. I was adopted, and that vicious sister forced me to plagiarize..." Zhao Ti frowned slightly when he heard this. He did know Xia Liuli's background, and he never expected that she would have such a grudge with someone. At this moment, the "vicious sister" in Xia Liuli's mouth made him even more confused. Just as Zhao Ti was about to ask, Xia Liuli seemed to see through his mind and quickly added, "Master, please give me five minutes, I will explain everything clearly." Zhao Ti was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. He has always been a person who distinguishes between black and white. If there is really a hidden story, he will not sit idly by. So, he took Xia Liuli to a nearby coffee shop and chose a quiet small box to sit down. "I want an iced Americano." After ordering her drink, Xia Liuli turned to look at Zhao Ti, "Master, what would you like to drink?" "Whatever." Zhao Ti replied indifferently. "Then let's have a cup of black plum Americano, which is their signature." After Xia Liuli finished speaking, she told the waiter to place the order. The coffee was served quickly, Zhao Ti took a sip, and then asked directly: "If you have anything to say, say it now." Xia Liuli held the cup of Americano, her fingers trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and began to tell her story: "At the beginning of today, I originally planned to win the championship with my own strength. But that sister found me before the game started..." Zhao Ti listened quietly, revealing a bit of scrutiny in her eyes. Xia Liuli continued, "She told me that my biological parents are still alive and in this city. If I want to know their whereabouts, I must follow her plan. Her plan is to let me copy her brother's painting, that is, this time's champion Xia Huaijin." At this point, Xia Liuli's eyes moistened again: "I really don't want to copy, but I have no choice. She threatened me that if I don't do this, I will never find my biological parents." After listening to Xia Liuli's story, Zhao Ti showed a half-belief and half-doubt on his face. He looked at Xia Liuli with complex emotions, as if trying to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of her words. "Is everything you said true?" Zhao Ti finally asked. "Of course it's true! Master, think about it, Xia Huaijin also participated in the competition. If I copy his painting, wouldn't it be humiliating for me?" Xia Liuli explained eagerly. Zhao Ti's face changed slightly when he heard this. If this is true, then Xia Liuli was indeed coerced. But on second thought, he felt that something was a bit strange. After all, Xia Zhuozhuo and Xia Huaijin both have the surname Xia, and the relationship between them does not seem to be simple. Thinking of this, Zhao Ti suddenly asked, "What's the name of the sister you mentioned?" "Xia Zhuozhuo!" Xia Liuli answered without hesitation, "You also saw her today, the girl who has been following Xia Huaijin." Zhao Ti heard this, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He looked at Xia Liuli with a sharp look, as if he wanted to see through her heart. "How could you make up such a big lie?" Zhao Ti asked coldly, "If Xia Zhuozhuo was not my master, I might really believe you." Xia Liuli was shocked when she heard this. She never thought that the lie she had carefully woven would be exposed so quickly. She looked at Zhao Ti's sharp eyes, and her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. "Master, please listen to my explanation..." Xia Liuli wanted to continue to quibble, but Zhao Ti didn't want to listen anymore. "Enough!" Zhao Ti shouted angrily, "You are a liar, you are not worthy to be my apprentice! From today on, you and I are no longer a master-apprentice relationship, and you are not allowed to do anything in my name!" After saying that, Zhao Ti stood up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Xia Liuli hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and cried, "Master, please believe me, what I said is true! I was really threatened by Xia Zhuozhuo, so I plagiarized Xia Huaijin's painting!" "Shut up!" Zhao Ti couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Xia Liuli in the face. This slap made Xia Liuli's ears buzz, and a bright red palm print was left on his face. "It doesn't matter how you lie to me, because I don't care!" Zhao Ti glared at Xia Liuli, "But you should never, ever, slander my master!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ti suddenly remembered what Xia Zhuozhuo had said to him. At that time, after Xia Zhuozhuo was driven off the judges' seat by Xia Liuli, he angrily accused him of being old and dim-sighted. He didn't care at the time, but now thinking about it, he felt that every word was heartbreaking. "My eyes are really blurry!" Zhao Ti slapped his chest in regret, "I actually accepted such a person as my last disciple!" Xia Liuli looked at Zhao Ti's angry and disappointed eyes, her heart full of despair and regret. She finally realized that the mistake she made was irreversible, and she also lost the most precious master-disciple friendship. "Your master? You said Xia Zhuozhuo is Master Jiangshan?" Xia Liuli asked in disbelief. "Humph! My master is Master Jiangshan, is this true?" Zhao Ti snorted coldly and turned away. Xia Liuli stood there, watching Zhao Ti's back gradually go away. Her heart was full of regret and self-blame, she knew that she would never be forgiven by Zhao Ti in this life. And the root of all this came from her vicious sister-Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Liuli gnashed her teeth in hatred, but at this moment she was powerless to turn the tide. She could only silently bear the consequences of all this and face the future storms alone. However, life will not stop because of one person's mistakes. After experiencing this blow, Xia Liuli began to re-examine her life. She understood that only by working hard to correct her mistakes can she regain the respect and trust of others. So she decided to let go of the past grievances and start her life again. After leaving the cafe, Zhao Ti also fell into deep contemplation. He recalled his master-disciple relationship with Xia Liuli, and his heart was full of emotion and regret. But he also understood that a person's character cannot be changed. Xia Liuli has gone astray and he can no longer guide her. From then on, Zhao Ti cherished his apprentices more. He used his actions to teach them how to be a person and how to do things. And Xia Liuli's name gradually became an indelible scar in his heart. Years passed, and time passed. Zhao Ti went further and further on the road of art, and his reputation became bigger and bigger. Xia Liuli gradually faded out of people's sight and became an unknown person. But no matter how time changes, the breakdown of the friendship between master and apprentice will become an eternal pain in their hearts.
