An Ning looked at Yu the Elder, whose face was filled with pride and emotion, and swallowed the words she was about to say.
'So be it,' she thought. 'It's a traditional virtue to respect the elderly and cherish the young. Besides, he's my own disciple.'
'What was that saying again? Even if you regret taking on a disciple, you can't let others see it!'
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the rumor was debunked.
The news that Yu the Elder was An Ning's disciple, however, spread like wildfire across the Beijing University campus.
The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was: Impossible!
What? Yu the Elder said it himself?
'Could it be true? But how is that possible?'
Everyone knew An Ning was formidable, but they had never imagined she was *this* formidable.
However, many teachers, including the university president, came forward to confirm it. Yu the Elder himself told anyone who would listen, leaving no room for doubt.
