A group of professors were stunned, suddenly feeling publicly humiliated by the mocking.
In fact, the last thing dancers want is to denigrate their colleagues, especially to say that someone can no longer dance, that their talent has dried up—such words are a major taboo in terms of professionalism.
People like that are very unpopular.
Of course, the professors immediately understood the implication behind Nangong Jin’s words; if they continued to stand by Hong Wu’s side at this point, it would mean that they were putting themselves in the same category as him.
They couldn’t possibly degrade themselves in such a way.
So, one of the professors immediately nodded and said, "Jin Palace is right."
Naturally, other professors echoed, "Yes, indeed."
Hong Wu’s face went pale in an instant; he clearly understood the meaning behind Nangong Jin’s words—that he was calling for Hong Wu to be blacklisted.
But Nangong Jin had not said outright what should be done, instead speaking in veiled terms that left nothing specific to respond to, but everyone understood the intention.
Not speaking directly made it impossible for him to refute.
However, Hong Wu was not resigned to this and thus said, "Mr. Nangong, what do you mean by this? Are you saying I shouldn’t dance anymore?"
"Heh," Nangong Jin laughed, still sounding friendly as he patted Hong Wu’s shoulder, "Don’t be nervous, I was just making a suggestion. If you want to dance, nobody’s stopping you. I don’t have the authority to stop you from dancing; you’re giving me too much credit."
His words were modest, but they inexplicably made people break out in cold sweat.
The reason being, you can find no grounds to argue with him!
Hong Wu was completely out of options. Nangong Jin never admitted that he would expel him from the dance world, but Hong Wu did not doubt that Nangong Jin had the power to do so.
So, after pondering, Hong Wu could only apologize, "I’m sorry, Mr. Nangong, I deeply regret my earlier remarks and hope you won’t take them to heart."
"Do I look like I care?" Nangong Jin chuckled, "I already said don’t be nervous; it was just a casual chat."
Hong Wu: "..."
