Chapter 7 Yesterday Reappears
Chapter 7 Yesterday Reappears
Lin Wanyi turned her head and looked at Gu Zhuo, wondering, how are you going to deal with this?
These words do not make any sense, they only talk about feelings, or to put it more directly, they are using morality to kidnap.
She naturally looked down on such behavior, but she had to admit that it was the right and extremely useful approach.
——If Gu Zhuo cannot come up with a good enough answer and still insists on dropping out of school, then the reputation he has built up over the past three years will be lost, and he will be reduced to a hypocritical villain despised by the whole city.
If things came to this, the vice-president would be able to get out of it smoothly, and no one in the academy would stand up and accuse him of personally forcing Gu Zhuo away.
After all, the latter's reputation must have been in tatters at that time, and overturning his verdict would be a thankless task and something only an idiot would do.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
These old people are truly piles of shit, having lived to this age with neither realm nor strength, they have only learned how to gossip to disgust others, they are totally good for nothing.
She gathered her thoughts and was about to speak up for Gu Zhuo to prevent her ally from falling into a moral dilemma when something unexpected happened.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was staring into Gu Zhuo's eyes, silently waiting for his response.
The next moment, he suddenly turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving resolutely.
The vice-president looked at his back and suddenly had a bad feeling. He shouted in a deep voice: "You don't even dare to answer the teacher's words. Are you so guilty?"
Gu Zhuo did not stop, as if he could not hear these words.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but look surprised, thinking that the withdrawal application has not been signed yet, and now you turn around and leave, what on earth are you going to do?
You can't just give up like this, right?
Isn't that a bit too flexible?
Under these gazes, Gu Zhuo walked to the palace door and reached out to open it.
With the slight sound of the door hinge turning, the gazes of the teachers and students of the academy surged in like a tide, as hot as fireworks, like the sunshine at this moment.
The vice president looked at this scene and suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
"I have something to tell you about my departure."
Gu Zhuo's voice was as gentle as ever, no different from usual.
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside the hall gradually died down, like the surface of a lake smoothed by a spring breeze.
Inside the hall, Lin Wanyi looked at the Vice Dean with an unpleasant expression and gently reminded him, "It turns out that he is not afraid to answer because he is guilty, but he thinks you are not worthy of listening."
……
……
"I have had a great time in the academy during these three years."
Gu Zhuo spoke softly, walked a few steps outside the hall, thought for a while, and sat down on the steps, his posture looking very casual.
He looked at the familiar figures outside the temple, at the scenery that he still hadn't gotten tired of after three years, and said with emotion: "For me, this is an extremely precious and unforgettable time in my life. It's peaceful and leisurely. During the day, I either attend classes or immerse myself in the library, flipping through those old books, discussing cultivation with you who are becoming more and more familiar with each other. When the sun sets, I go to have dinner, then walk around the old pond a few times, and watch the tabby cat getting fatter year after year... Speaking of which, in a few months, the white dog should also be shaved for the summer, right?"
It was just like chatting with classmates at ordinary times.
It is frank and warm, yet carries a hint of reluctance, nostalgia and regret at parting.
Listening to the words at this moment and thinking about the scenes of the past, people's emotions not only did not calm down, but became even more angry.
"Then why are you leaving!?"
A voice rang out from the crowd, anger mixed with confusion and puzzlement.
Gu Zhuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw the classmate named Zhou Juncheng was silent for a moment, then asked irrelevantly: "I still remember when I first entered the school three years ago, you walked with me and attended the first class of the academy together. Do you remember what was taught in that class?"
Zhou Juncheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be addressed. He frowned and said, "That class was about the academy's motto, which was to seek truth and set goals, to discern clearly and to act steadfastly. How could I forget it?"
Gu Zhuo looked at him and said, "Of course I won't forget it either."
The teachers and students present became more and more confused. Some of them, who were accustomed to overthinking, had begun to doubt, wondering if there really was some unspeakable secret here.
"What does this have to do with you dropping out of school for Lin Wanyi?" A junior sister stared into Gu Zhuo's eyes and asked the question that everyone present was most concerned about. This time, Gu Zhuo remained silent.
Just when the crowd outside the hall thought that he was speechless and could not explain his relationship with Lin Wanyi... a light snapping sound was heard.
Gu Zhuo snapped his fingers.
The moment the sound was heard, the sky light suddenly changed for no reason and the spring breeze blew violently.
When the wind stopped, a curtain of light formed by the changing light of the sky fell into the eyes of everyone present.
The light curtain flowed like running water, showing a scene. The place that appeared in the scene was very familiar to everyone in Changzhou Academy, because that was where they lived and worked on weekdays.
Small building and green hills, bamboo forest and night moon.
As well as the vice president and Professor Liu who were involved.
And every word they said that night was written for the spring breeze today.
"Do you think we should thank him?"
"Given his personality of being measured in his actions, how could he make such a request that obviously crossed the line?"
"...If that's the case, then why should I blame you?"
"Are you to blame for causing trouble and forcing me to teach Gu Zhuo another lesson?"
"Of course, it is a lesson called reality, telling him that greed is insatiable and the snake swallows the elephant."
The conversation that should have been hidden in the night and unknown to anyone was now floating lightly in the gentle spring breeze after the rain, spreading throughout the Cheung Chau Academy and into the ears of everyone here.
There was dead silence outside the palace.
The atmosphere in the hall was even more weird.
Lin Wanyi covered her lips with her sleeve, trying very hard to hold back her laughter, and almost laughed out loud to break the silence.
Professor Liu already looked as pale as death.
Even the vice-president could no longer maintain his composure. He stared at Gu Zhuo, who was sitting in front of the palace door. His face was ashen, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, but he was unable to swing them out.
This was not only because he was afraid of the extremely bad impact that would be caused by his actions, but also because many of his colleagues in the academy had already turned their eyes and thoughts on him, with shock, astonishment, surprise and anger.
The reason for being shocked, stunned and angry was not because he had done such a thing, but because he was discovered by the person involved.
How stupid is this?!
Then, these college professors realized a problem and their expressions changed again.
Being able to recreate the exact scene at that time so easily and without any ambiguity, Gu Zhuo's realm has obviously improved and he is about to touch the first chasm on the road of cultivation.
Before today, this was undoubtedly something that made everyone in the academy happy.
However... silence is the Cheung Chau Academy today.
Until Gu Zhuo's voice sounded again.
Unlike before, his face now looked pale and his eyes slightly haggard.
"I have no interest in taking such a boring class."
He slowly stood up and said to everyone: "So I decided to leave."
